Dominate the Country

The next day dawned.

In the early morning, Anding County was filled with mist, but the light morning mist was faintly permeated with the smell of burning pine wood.

When thousands of brilliant lights splashed on the earth, countless people in Anding County gathered in the open space in front of the county government, waiting for the moment when the Zhao family members were beheaded.

The police and the garrison were waiting solemnly, with guns loaded with medicine, bayonets shining brightly, and sticks exuding invisible deterrence.

Park Yidao also appeared in the crowd, but he was not waiting for the moment of execution, but just to take a look at the Zhao family members who were about to die from a distance. Because in Park Yidao's mind, the Zhao family members who he might not have thought much of in the past are now vaguely one country with him. In his eyes, the Zhao family members no longer represent only the Zhao family members, but thousands of victims in the process of North Korea's submission, righteous men, and important officials.

Park Yidao left Anding County. He silently squeezed out of the crowd and rode on a traditional Korean sedan chair to Wensi Academy. There was another servant behind him carrying his luggage, and another servant carrying his bookcase and a food box.

When he arrived at Wensi Academy, he found that the dedicated and dedicated academy principal, Jin Zhongxian, was not there, which made him very curious. And the academy was filled with grief.

Then Park Yidao learned a shocking news - just half an hour ago, Jin Zhongxian was just taken away by the police.

It was said that he was an accomplice of Zhao.

The post of the principal of Wensi Academy will soon be sent by the Bureau of Culture and Education.

No wonder the entire Wensi Academy was filled with grief. Once this happened, even if these lecturers dared to continue teaching in the academy, how many students dared to continue to study? Or how dare the parents behind them continue to send their children to study here?

A group of people fell into sadness about the prospects of Wensi Academy.

Perhaps these students will stay in Wensi Academy in the short term due to the pressure of character, morality, public opinion, etc., but this time will definitely not last long. The impact of Kim Jong-hyun's arrest was too great, and it was like a knife stabbing into the vitals of Wensi Academy. Kim Jong-hyun was the only great scholar in Wensi Academy who could be called a famous scholar in all of Korea.

They knew very well the future of Wensi Academy. Without the support of the regime, the sympathy of the people and the support of public opinion, Wensi Academy would be doomed. But the time of this decline would be calculated in "ten years" in the eyes of a group of lecturers in the past; unlike now, with the spread and spread of the news of Kim Jong-hyun's arrest, the time for Wensi Academy to announce its demise may be within one or two years.

There is not only one Wensi Academy in Sangju that adheres to traditional Confucian teaching, such academies exist in almost every county. Students can continue their studies in other academies under the banner of academic studies, as long as they are not only new-style schools, but also have good reputations.

——Kim Jong-hyun was arrested, and the entire Wensi Academy not only lost a headmaster, but also the treasure of the academy in terms of academic studies.

Pu Yidao returned to his room, and his mood could not calm down for a long time.

After a while, he seemed to remember something, slapped his thigh and got up and walked to the West Room, which was the residence of the students of the academy. He was looking for no one else, but three students under Pu Yidao himself. A teacher may not know all of the students, but if he does not understand the students' ambitions and ideas at all, then this teacher is definitely unqualified.

However, only two of the three students came, and one did not come.

The teacher and the students talked for a long time in Pu Yidao's room. Pu Yidao warned his students not to act rashly or do meaningless actions in the near future. Now it is unusual. The headmaster has been taken away, and the Cultural and Educational Bureau will soon arrange a new person to serve as the headmaster. That must be the lackey of the Cultural and Educational Bureau. And the Cultural and Educational Bureau has already taken action against Wensi Academy, so it is very likely that their eyes are still on Wensi Academy. Don't expose yourself at this dangerous time.

The two students of Pu Yidao are two of the three most radical students among his students. The three of them have sneaked into the county town more than once to post notices and throw leaflets.

The students of Wensi Academy are supposed to be people who reject, oppose and resist the new dynasty, but there are few students like these two who are so radical and dare to do it.

More people are like Pu Yidao before. I insist on my tradition, my culture, and the morality in my heart. No matter how the outside world changes, I will remain unmoved. In fact, it is inaction, just like a group of great Confucian scholars in the late Ming Dynasty in China, such as Bada Shanren and Huang Zongxi, who only resisted in their hearts and only maintained non-cooperation with the new dynasty.

A bit of Buddhist patience.

If Chen Ming knew, he would definitely feel a familiar taste-isn't this the non-violent non-cooperation movement of Ah San?

Pu Yidao and others certainly don't have the same perception as "Brother Sheng". Now he called these two students of his just to let them understand the cruelty of the world. More than 30 people from the Zhao family will be beheaded today. If these two students continue to act recklessly and are caught by the Xin Dynasty government, then it will not only be themselves who will suffer, but also the entire family.

If the National Defense Army retaliates, the entire family village will be razed to the ground, and everyone will be sent to a labor camp. This is an understatement.

A murder case in which the county magistrate was ambushed will make the Xin Dynasty take ruthless action against Anding. If you want to go against the Xin Dynasty, you have to be soft and sneaky.

Park Yi-do, who always looks very dignified and solemn, stroked his beard and said so. "We need to delay, endure, and suppress. Our strength is too weak, so we can only endure and wait for the opportunity secretly."

As for where the opportunity comes from and when it will come back, Park Yi-do can't say clearly.

It is obvious to all how powerful the upper country is. Not to mention that there is a reorganized division stationed in North and South Korea, there are also a large number of troops on Jeju Island. Even without these two reorganized divisions, the troops on Jeju Island alone, with the cooperation of the Min family and the Qingfeng Kim family, can sweep across the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers of the entire Korea.

The gap between the two sides is really too big, and after the reforms in the past few months, many past bad policies have been eliminated. A group of fools in the folk have already bowed down to them and worshipped them as gods. Park Yi-do pondered and meditated, and when someone came to visit again, he couldn't think of anything.

Maybe Park Yi-do will become a short version of Lu Fangweng of Korea?

Lu You once said: On the day when the king's army conquers the Central Plains, do not forget to inform your father during the family sacrifice. Park Yidao may also leave a will to his descendants a hundred years later: On the day of Korea's independence, inform your father in detail on Qingming Festival.

The two students retreated respectfully, leaving only the newcomer. This person is Li Chengshan, a student under Park Yidao.

Li Chengshan seemed to be in a hurry. After waiting for the two classmates to leave, he hurriedly reported a big news to Park Yidao:

"Teacher, Cui Yonglin's younger brother reported to Anding No. 1 Middle School yesterday. The Cui family is going to join the new dynasty..."

The so-called Cui Yonglin is another radical student under Park Yidao's name.

Park Yidao opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. How could this be possible? He didn't think Cui Yonglin's previous attitude towards the new dynasty was fake? What's more, Cui Yonglin's father and grandfather were both well-known literati and scholars. They were very repulsive to the new dynasty's deviation from Confucianism and the new education.

"Are you telling the truth?" Park Yidao was surprised. Cui Yonglin's younger brother is only thirteen years old this year. He had been studying at home with his father and grandfather. Why did he suddenly go to the school of the new dynasty? He knew that Anding No. 1 Middle School was a place where the things taught were the knowledge promoted by the new dynasty, and had nothing to do with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.

Park Yidao almost blurted out "The Cui family is crazy", thinking that the reputation of the Cui family for generations was about to be ruined. But he thought about it and understood that the Cui family was going to sell themselves to the new dynasty. They might lose the reputation built by generations, but they could get benefits and real rights.

And it is more likely that they were scared by the fate of the Zhao family. Sending the youngest son to Anding No. 1 Middle School to study is like a hostage.

The new dynasty did not require the gentry and wealthy families in Anding to do this. After they established the elementary school and middle school, they did encourage all people of school age to enroll, but except for those who hugged their thighs, this new education was not recognized by many people in Anding. But this seems to have formed an invisible unspoken rule. Whoever clings to the new dynasty will send his children to the first middle school or elementary school.

Park Yi-do did not expect that the Cui family would make such a big 180-degree turn without making a sound. He was not only sad, but also resentful, and then he felt scared. Fortunately, he did not say anything. But the other two students of his family will be in trouble. He hopes that the Cui family will not tell them about the two.

Park Yi-do hurriedly urged Li Chengshan to inform the two classmates of this situation quickly. If the Cui family really told the new dynasty government about the previous notices and propaganda distribution, the two students would be finished. Wensi Academy would suffer another major blow after the arrest of the headmaster, and then Wensi Academy would be completely finished.

He was silent for a while, thinking that the Cui family would not do this. It is very likely that the Cui family was forced to do so, just to deal with the new dynasty. They have not yet ruthlessly abandoned everything!

The days of Wensi Academy passed one by one. No police suddenly came to visit again, and the new principal sent by the Bureau of Culture and Education did not immediately promote the reform of the academy, although he had put forward this proposition first, and he was also a Korean, but not from Anding County.

Such days lasted for half a month, until Cui Yonglin came to Wensi Academy again.

He came here not to study this time, but to say goodbye to Park Yidao. In two days, he will go to Sangju City. The support of the Cui family won Cui Yonglin an opportunity to enter Sangju Vocational High School.

Park Yidao didn't understand why the Cui family wanted to "betray", but he still believed in his students and was willing to get some information from him.

Cui Yonglin whispered to him that a few days ago, the police arrested the Zhao family, and the crime of the soldiers and horses attacking the county magistrate was put on the Zhao family. In the eyes of the Cui family, as in Park Yidao's view, the new dynasty was ruthless to the "old dynasty".

The Choi family is not the Park Yi-do family. Although the industries between the two families are not much different, the Park family only has Park Yi-do left. The Choi family ran away quickly during the war and had good luck, so they are still thriving.

As soon as the news of the Zhao family's extermination came, the Choi family was in chaos. Because of Choi Yong-lin's actions, the elders of his family knew a little bit. Now that they heard the bad news about the Zhao family, they strictly ordered Choi Yong-lin not to get involved in this matter anymore, and even forbade him to go to Wensi Academy again.

Choi Yong-lin himself was also scared and burned some of his manuscripts immediately.

Although Cui Yonglin is a radical in the academy, people like him are like those patriotic students in the early years of the Republic of China in another time and space. They are noisy on weekdays, but they are really cowards when they are arrested by the police station.

Cui Yonglin is actually such a person, but he didn't know it before. He thought he was brave and not afraid of death. But now the tragedy of the Zhao family is in front of him, he is scared.

Now the Zhao family has been "annihilated" and the court of the new dynasty has sentenced all the male members of the Zhao family to death. This bloody fact makes Cui Yonglin wilt. He hurriedly took out some transcripts and notices that he had kept and burned them.

This was originally something Cui Yonglin wanted to keep as a souvenir. In Cui Yonglin's view, this is his glorious shining point. Each manuscript is his medal. How can such a treasure not be kept?

Cui Yonglin also planned to wait until the new dynasty withdrew from North Korea, and then he would organize and publish it himself, which would not only improve his reputation, but also make his work public. Otherwise, he would always feel like he was walking in the night in a brocade robe.

However, the day after Cui Yonglin burned the manuscript, someone from the Xin Dynasty government suddenly came to visit him. When Cui Yonglin heard the news, he was paralyzed with fear.

Of course, the emotions he showed to his teacher now were a mixture of pride and entanglement, "Teacher, do you know why he came to my house?"

"Why?" Park Yidao knew that the doubts that had been in his heart for many days were about to be solved.

"Alas, teacher, I'm afraid you can't imagine that the new dynasty will set up a consultative council in the city, and all the villages and towns in the county can send people to serve as members. In the future, the members of the county consultative council will have the right to inquire about various matters in the county. The Cui family is one of them."

This is a policy specially formulated by Chen Ming for the newly occupied territory, which is completely different from the mainland. Because Korea, Annan, Burma, Luzon and other places have already formed ethnic groups and national cultures. If you want to assimilate them as soon as possible, you still have to eliminate the resistance of the vested interest class among them.

When these people no longer oppose and resist Chen Han, Chen Ming's speed of assimilating the lower class of the people will inevitably accelerate. When the trend of assimilation has been established, some wealthy people can't stop it even if they want to, and they will even soften faster in the face of power. For example, Nanyang and Hong Kong in the previous plane are all examples of realization, aren't they?

Of course, this Advisory Council is completely different from the Congress, but it is also different from the Federation of Industry and Commerce that the old land of China is doing. The Federation of Industry and Commerce has no real power at all. They can only serve as a think tank when the Industry and Commerce Bureau formulates various laws and regulations. Through the members of the Federation of Industry and Commerce covering the whole country, the Industry and Commerce Bureau can clearly obtain the implementation of certain new regulations and laws and the various good and bad effects generated during the implementation. The latter is a detailed database that can feedback the information they need, and then the Industry and Commerce Bureau will use these data to formulate and modify the laws and regulations that have been published or not yet published, so as to better promote the development of China's economy.

And what about the Advisory Council on the North Korean side?

That has certain rights.

They have the right to audit fiscal expenditures, the right to object to court decisions, and some of them propose local bills, or express different opinions on some government work...

But they do not have the right to appoint and remove officials, nor the right to amend the law, let alone the right to elect officials.

All their objections and different opinions will be reflected in the hands of the higher-level administrative organs, but before the upper level makes a ruling, they have no right to stop or hinder local officials from performing their duties.

It can be said that this Advisory Council is a greatly weakened version of the National People's Congress. But such power has surprised some people. For example, the Cui family!

Social change has never been achieved overnight. The Cui family is a representative and a beginning.

Time is on Chen Han's side. In the future, more and more Cui families will throw themselves into the arms of the new dynasty for various reasons.

After Choi Young-rim left, Park Yi-do remained in the room in a stiff posture, and he did not move for a long time...
