The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Li Yuan's ridicule of the separation of powers in the West amused Representative Tong.

"Old Li, you are ridiculous. No matter how much we despise the West, we cannot open our eyes and tell lies. The separation of powers still has its merits."

"I doubt how you passed the political studies."

“We Communists will neither be arrogant nor belittle ourselves, good is good and bad is bad.

If there are any, then correct them; if not, then encourage them. Criticism and self-criticism are our basic principles."

"Okay, don't drop your book bag.

Don’t be dissatisfied, I will tell you about our ancient separation of powers. In fact, it can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty."

"Okay, I just want to hear your excuses, hahaha."

Li Yuan smiled, "Let's first talk about Da Qin's organizational structure.

The Qin Empire was a country with a simple system of prefectures and counties. It was divided into 36 prefectures and more than 1000 counties. All local officials and emperors in various places could be replaced at any time. Therefore, it was impossible for local divisions to be divided and there would be no feuding princes competing for hegemony.

The central government of the Qin Dynasty had three branches of power.

Qin Shihuang established three ministers: the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the imperial censor to control administrative, military, and supervisory powers respectively, allowing them to check and restrain each other.

There is also separation of powers at the local level.

In the Qin Dynasty, there were counties below the central government. The chief of the county was called the county governor, who mainly managed the civil officials in the county. In addition, there were two chiefs: the county lieutenant and the county supervisor.

The county lieutenant is in charge of the military affairs of the county. He directly obeys the orders of the central government and does not listen to the command of the county guard. The county supervisory supervision and disciplinary inspection also listen to the central government.

Therefore, these three local positions are not subordinate to each other, but restrain each other.

From the Qin Dynasty down, each dynasty continued to improve these management systems.

China's national management concepts have been circulating for thousands of years, and have been perfected for thousands of years. How long does the West have?

Not to mention, before the Industrial Revolution, the West was still in a barbaric slave society.

At that time, their method of unifying ethnic groups was still based on religious beliefs.

Later, the Ming Dynasty's ocean trade spread advanced farming and industrial technologies to the West.

This began the Age of Discovery in the West.

As a large number of missionaries and merchants poured into the Ming Dynasty, they not only brought back a large amount of goods, but also brought back Chinese civilization, and they began to study crazily.

In the end, in order to cover this up, they transformed the stolen civilizations into their own.

Therefore, everyone feels that without any accumulation, the West suddenly surpassed our Chinese civilization of thousands of years.

Since then, some shameless people in the West, such as missionaries, businessmen, doctors, and down-and-out painters, have become great men in all fields overnight.

He became a great scientist, a great writer, a great philosopher and so on."

"Lao Li, you are a bit subverting our three views. These things are completely contrary to what we have learned."

“Haha, if you want to destroy a civilization, you are stigmatizing it.

The Boxer Indemnity is the start-up fund for the West to systematically stigmatize Chinese civilization.

Isn’t it ridiculous? They used our country’s compensation to establish many new schools and spread the culture that the West compiled for us in China.

Some of our compatriots are still grateful and have their hearts turned towards the West.”

"This sounds like something like that, but it's too hard to believe."

“If you have time, read more Chinese classics, and don’t always read some so-called Western masterpieces, they are all bullshit.

Compared with the collection of Chinese poetry and calligraphy, they are nothing."

"Chinese ancient books are indeed of great artistic value, but compared with technology, they are of little use. Don't forget that ancient Chinese craftsmen were a lowly type of work and would suppress innovation."

Li Yuan turned to look at him with disdain, and the other party immediately became a little anxious.

"What's that look in your eyes? Did I say something wrong?"

"Just calm down and think about it. Where did you get your understanding of ancient Chinese culture? Did you learn it from ancient books? Or did the teacher tell you?"

Soul asked three questions, leaving Representative Tong silent.

Li Yuan glanced at him, smiled, said nothing, and drove seriously.

After returning to the laboratory, Representative Tong responded, "Are there any books you recommend? I want to read the stuff of my ancestors seriously."

"You should first read the Four Books and Five Classics carefully, namely The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Great Learning, and Doctrine of the Mean. The Five Classics refer to the Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites, Zhouyi, and Spring and Autumn Annals."

"Aren't these all Confucian thoughts and dross?"

After seeing Li Yuan's disdainful expression, he immediately realized, "I was the one who made the first impression."

"The boy is teachable!

We have been told since we were young that ancient literati were deeply harmed by the imperial examination and eight-legged essays, and the culprit was the Four Books and Five Classics.

And I was told that the entire society in ancient times was controlled by these literati, with officials protecting each other, suppressing innovation, and cheating the people."

"Isn't it?" His subconscious behavior shows the deep imprint.

"Westerners always like to teach people to think independently, but they will mislead us. This independent thinking means breaking out of the Chinese cultural circle and looking at the whole world."

Representative Tong said thoughtfully, “It seems to be true!”

"Many of our educators and historians are either really stupid or have been bribed by the West. They educate the next generation entirely according to Western ideas.

Would you say sad or not? "

"Lao Li, you made me feel depressed when I was young. After so many years of study, I have become a fool!"

"It's not too late. You can calm down and study hard. At least you can let the next generation open their eyes to see the world."

Unknowingly, Representative Tong followed Li Yuan to the office on the sixth floor.

When he came to his senses, he cursed lowly, said hello, and turned to the west building.

After handling the most urgent tasks at present, Li Yuan finally had time to focus on the research and development of civilian products.

I don’t know how well the plans made at the beginning of the year have come to fruition.

Since employees in scientific research institutions were encouraged to take leave of absence without pay, the number of employees increased by more than 100 last year, mainly to the civilian product development laboratory.

A phone call called Liang Zhixiang to the office.

"Old Liang, you look bad, are you too tired?"

"It's not bad. There are more projects this year, and the staff has also made major breakthroughs. It's normal to be busy."

"Pay attention to your health. You have to shoulder the responsibility of internal management and external communication. It won't be a problem after a long time. The laboratory will get bigger and bigger in the future.

If this continues, we should not be exhausted. We should train some assistants appropriately and share some routine work."

Liang Zhixiang seemed to understand something, "Lele has also worked for more than half a year and is doing well in the civilian product laboratory on the 4th floor. Next, I will transfer her to the office and learn from me first."

Li Yuan looked up at him in surprise, shook his head and smiled.

"You, you misunderstood me.

Civilian product research takes up too many of our resources. My idea is to let them go out independently and hand it over to Lele in the future.

But she is still too young now, so she should stay on the 4th floor to study.

She will not participate in the management of the laboratory, and she is not interested."

"Boss, I don't mean that. After all, one day when we are old, the laboratory will eventually be handed over to the next generation."

"Go away, you are so young, you are in your prime. In the future, the laboratory must be in the hands of the right people. We will all be directors in the future, so we can just hide behind and steer the ship."

"Weimin will graduate in two years, and after a few years of training, he will just take over my class."

"Okay, that bastard doesn't like research at all. His hobby is playing music."
