Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan accompanied Prince Jing and Lu Zhengming to eat.

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 their innocence, Xiang Nan couldn't help sighing secretly.

They have all forgotten that almost all those who advocated reform in the past dynasties did not end well.

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 the 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.

And the vested interest groups have occupied the distribution advantage for a long time, and the power accumulated is quite strong. Once they fight back, the intensity of their resistance will naturally be enormous.

Therefore, reforms in successive dynasties have more failures and less successes.

And 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 that 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.

Historically, 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 paper of edict abolished the imperial examination, one paper of edict cut off the green camp, and one paper of edict abolished the hard-core crops of the banner people... without considering the millions of scholars and dozens of students in the world. Where is the way out for the thousands of green battalion soldiers and millions of bannermen?

Cutting off people's wealth is like 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 noise. 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 forces of opposition are strong and the forces of support are small, so that the reformation lasted only a hundred days before it was over.

However, although Xiang Nan is like a bright mirror in his heart, it is difficult to say these words.

For one thing, Prince Jing, Lu Zhengming, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and other reformers were too confident. It wasn't that no one commented on their radical behavior at the time, but they didn't listen at all.

Second, 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, and it is impossible to hope for the reform and innovation of the ruling class.

The great man once said that a revolution is not a dinner party, but a revolution requires bloodshed and sacrifice. A revolution is an insurrection, a violent act by which one class overthrows another.

Both the British Revolution and the French Revolution were fought through many tragic wars, which lasted for decades, and after many repetitions, killing people, bleeding and drifting, they finally succeeded.

Therefore, Xiang Nan would rather stay away and not get involved in such nonsense.

...

"Xi Langzhong, why don't you talk~" Lu Zhengming started talking with the prince, 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 have the right to get involved in these family and country affairs." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "It's you and the prince who worry about family and country affairs. 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 said with a smile, "I tell you that reformation has a great relationship with you ordinary people."

"Reform, isn't 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 contrast, 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 recruited Tian Kui and asked him about the progress of harming Yixiaotang and Shiweitian.

"How about it, have you found someone to buy?" He asked.

When Tian Kui heard this, he shook his head.

"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 well, tell me early, 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, who live for the sky, are all fellow villagers invited from Cangzhou. They know the basics and have lived together for several years. They have 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 treacherous, slippery and cunning people. 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 root and background; the other 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.

People who are honest, honest, diligent and responsible 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 contact a few, but no one dared to mess around.

"You idiot, don't you know how to add more money?" Wang Tianhe scolded immediately 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 are looking for, in short, I want to see the result as soon as possible." Wang Tianhe ordered.

"Yes, my lord." Tian Kui bowed immediately.
