Chapter 823 825【Pretending to be stupid】
Xiang Nan accompanied Prince Jing and Lu Zhengming to eat food.
During the banquet, Prince Jing and Lu Zhengming talked about reform and reform with great interest and confidence.
It seems that with the emperor's edict, any problem will be solved.
The success of the reform is just around the corner. In less than half a year, the Qing Dynasty will be able to eliminate all its ills, regain its strength, and become a world power.
Seeing how naive they were, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh secretly.
They all forgot that those who advocated reform in the past dynasties almost all ended badly.
Although Shang Yang's reform was successful, he himself was torn apart by a car; Wu Qi was shot and killed by the old nobles before his reform was successful; Wang Anshi's reform also encountered many obstacles and finally died in depression; He was almost opened up and flogged his corpse, ransacked his family and wiped out his family...
Because the essence of the reform is to change the rules of benefit distribution and distribute the cake in the hands of vested interest groups to other groups. In this way, vested interest groups will naturally oppose it.
The vested interest groups have long occupied the distribution advantage, and the accumulated power is quite strong. Once they fight back, the intensity of their resistance will naturally be enormous.
Therefore, reforms in all dynasties have failed more and succeeded less.
The reform is doomed to fail.
One is that the promoters are too naive. Prince Jing and Lu Zhengming never thought about what would happen if the reform failed. They all thought that as long as the emperor issued an edict, the reform would succeed.
Never thought about it at all, the emperor is just a puppet. Only when the Empress Dowager Cixi made him emperor can he become emperor. If he is not allowed to be the emperor, he can be knocked down in minutes.
In history, Guangxu was placed under house arrest by Empress Dowager Cixi, and then poisoned to death. No one dared to say anything in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Therefore, expecting a puppet to push forward the reform is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree.
The second is that the promoters are too reckless. One piece of edict will abolish the imperial examination, one piece of paper will cut down the green camp, and one piece of paper will abolish the hard-core crops of the banner people... without considering the millions of scholars in the world, hundreds of thousands Where is the way out for the green battalion soldiers and millions of bannermen?
Cutting people's wealth, such as killing their parents, it's no wonder they don't make trouble.
Of course, if there are many people who support the reform, it is useless for the opposition to make trouble. But the reformists don't know how to mobilize the masses at all, and the common people don't know what reform is, so naturally they won't support them.
In this way, the opposition force is strong, and the support force is small, so that the reform movement only lasted for a hundred days before it was over.
However, although Xiang Nan is like a mirror in his heart, it is difficult to say these words.
At first, Prince Jing, Lu Zhengming, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and other reformers were all too confident. It wasn't that no one commented on their radical behavior at the time, but they didn't listen at all.
Secondly, the reform is doomed to fail. Even if they were reminded, they listened to the persuasion and pushed carefully, but it was impossible for them to succeed.
Because their propositions are fundamentally wrong, pinning hopes on the reform and innovation of the ruling class will not work in itself.
The great man once said that a revolution is not a dinner party, but a revolution requires bloodshed. A revolution is an insurrection, a violent act by which one class overthrows another.
The British Revolution and the French Revolution were fought many times and lasted for decades, and after many repetitions, killing people and bleeding, they finally succeeded.
So Xiang Nan would rather stay away and not get involved in these crap.
"Xi Langzhong, why don't you talk~" Lu Zhengming talked with the prince excitedly, seeing that Xiang Nan was only focused on eating, but kept silent, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, I'm a local doctor in the countryside. I haven't read any books and I don't have much knowledge. How can I get involved in these family and country affairs." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled. That's it."
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, and whoever says it is none of your business." Prince Jing smiled, "I tell you that reformation has a great relationship with you ordinary people."
"Reform, is it juggling? We also have juggling in Cangzhou. Wuqiao Kuaishou Liu's Three Immortals Return to the Cave, can be called the best in the world." Xiang Nan pretended to be confused and interrupted.
"Forget it, forget it, you'd better eat your food." Upon hearing this, Prince Jing smiled and waved his hands. Talking about reform with a stick like Xiang Nan is tantamount to playing the piano with a cow.
Lu Zhengming also shook his head and smiled, seemingly speechless.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help sighing secretly.
These Reformers are really arrogant and not down-to-earth at all. The common people don't understand, and they don't know how to publicize, promote, and educate. It's no wonder that not many people support them.
In comparison, our party understands the truth that the people are the creators of history. Therefore, going deep into the masses, connecting with the masses, mobilizing the masses, relying on the masses, and finally with the support of the masses, we won the victory of the revolution.
…
Wang Tianhe Mansion.
Wang Tianhe summoned Tian Kui and asked him about the progress of harming Yixiaotang and Shiweitian.
"How is it, have you found someone to buy?" He asked.
Tian Kui shook his head when he heard this.
"What's going on, it's been a few days, why are you moving so slowly?" Wang Tianhe said angrily when he saw it, "If you don't have the skills, you can't do it well, tell me as soon as possible, I'll get someone else to do it."
Tian Kui secretly slandered, "If you can find someone else, you don't have to rely on me all the time."
"My lord, the apprentices and buddies of Yixiaotang and Food for Heaven are all fellow villagers invited from Cangzhou. They know the basics and have lived together for several years, with deep feelings.
In addition, the rules of Yixiaotang and Shiweitian are very strict, and the apprentices and clerks also follow the rules, and there are no criminals, slippery or cunning. So it is very difficult to buy. ’ he then explained.
In ancient times, if young people wanted to learn from a teacher or work as a waiter in a store, they didn't just go there whenever they wanted.
One is to have local people who know the basics; the second is to have a guarantor; the third is to go through a long-term test. Only those who are honest, honest, smart and capable, and diligent will be left behind. Those stupid, treacherous, and lazy people will be kicked out soon.
Honesty, honesty, hardworking people are not easy to be tempted, and naturally they are not easy to be bought. What's more, if something happened, they would all be locals, and they wouldn't even be able to run away. Therefore, it is very difficult to be bought.
Tian Kui tried to get in touch with a few, but no one dared to mess around.
"You idiot, don't you know how to add more money?" Wang Tianhe immediately reprimanded upon hearing this.
"My lord, it's not about adding money." Tian Kui waved his hand and said, "In my opinion, it's no use buying the shop assistants to cause trouble. It's better to find a quick-witted thief to sneak into the pharmacy and kitchen. some."
"I don't care who you look for, in short, I want to see the result as soon as possible." Wang Tianhe ordered.
"Yes, my lord." Tian Kui bowed immediately.
