Chapter 396: Who touched my banana?

Zhao Xing looked at Zhao Feng and said leisurely: "I heard that someone in the West did an experiment called "Cage Monkey": A group of monkeys were locked in the experiment cage, and a bunch of bananas hung on the monkey's head. Only the manager can enjoy this bunch of bananas in a big way. Any monkey touched the banana and would make all monkeys beaten.

Later, any monkey understood that when they touched the banana, they would all be punished. Therefore, if a monkey touched the banana, all monkeys would beat it.

Ah——, now let’s change the name, name the bunch of bananas hanging in the air, call the bunch of bananas not bananas, but the interests of the Tian family, party interests, or collective interests, national interests, national interests, common people’s interests... etc. Anyway, you can find a sacred name to replace it.

But the method of training "monkeys" is still the same, that is, only managers have the right to enjoy the bunch of bananas, or it is called "manager" has the right to enjoy collective interests, national interests, national interests, etc. For other monkeys, who dare to touch collective interests, national interests, national interests, etc., then all "monkeys" will be punished - what will happen?

As a result, this bunch of bananas fooled everyone, and the monkeys shared the same hatred for the enemy. They naively and firmly thought that personal interests were really tied to those bananas. In addition to the manager, whoever touched the banana was infringing on the personal rights of the monkeys. Even if they watched the bananas enjoyed by guards alone, they would psychologically agree that the managers were "representing" their enjoyment. Any monkey who dared to seek his own banana would be punished for violating the interests of the group, and was punished by the managers and isolated and beaten by the monkey group.

At this time, I dared to have a monkey who tried to reach out for his banana. Although the place he wanted was only the banana that represented personal rights and freedom. However, in the state of intimidation of monkeys, such a monkey usually surprised the manager. It was so beastly that it was like trying to turn a stubborn cow. With the force I could have, you could only bear the disadvantage and destroy you step by step. Oh, do you want to treat yourself as a human being? I have to beat you back to the original form of a monkey.

This process has full pleasure for those who hold absolute power in their hands, and is an absolute pleasure for the strong. It can make him repeatedly chew in his boring and humble management career in the future. Can you understand this pleasure? Li Si of Qin died at the hands of postmen. Zhou Bo of Han died at the hands of prisoners, and there are many county magistrates of the Po Family. They are always showing their abusive pleasure to the monkeys..."

Zhao Xing said this and slowly stopped talking. He looked at the guests in the human teahouse one by one and whispered: "We are all a group of monkeys now. The people here repeatedly compete for the place they are the secondary managers among the monkeys. They are the purpose of secondary management. They are not for the country and the people, but for the happiness of abuse and the priority distribution of materials. There is nothing else."

Zhao Feng and Yuan Yeping were both savoring these words, and Zhao Yun, who was determined to be a knight, had no scruples in front of his father. He smiled and said, "Legal Father. It turns out that we are all monkeys, not 'people'."

Zhao Xing looked at Zhao Yun and slowly replied: "You are right. We are not the people. We are just a group of monkeys, or we are regarded as monkeys. We are not even farts."

Zhao Yun was young and couldn't understand this. Yuan Yeping asked thoughtfully: "How to stop this tragedy? How can we not be monkeys?"

"Republic - Only the republic can give us the right to distribute bananas; with the 'republic' of power, we are not monkeys, and the embodiment of the republic is the existence of the opposition, and there is no opposition. If there is no republic, we are all a group of monkeys, not people."

Zhao Xing slowly continued: "In the era of Renzong, or since the Song Dynasty, we established a system to rule the world with scholars and officials. We are a republic. The people have the right to enjoy year-end tax refunds, have the right to comment on the government affairs, have the right to enjoy free medicine, have the right to pass the study and pass the imperial examination and participate in the management of the country. But now everything is ruined.

Wang Anshi destroyed all this, he destroyed all the laws of his ancestors, and the abolition of the imperial examination (Sanshe Law) made ordinary people have no chance to participate in politics, and learning became a matter for the children of rich families. The rise of literary inquisition made people afraid to speak, and the blockade of speech led to the disappearance of the opposition. As a result, we were only left with timidity and we could only be monkeys.

Lift your eyes and look at it, ‘Three thousand ropes are straight for the secret pavilion; Five hundred staples are promoted to the magistrate’—There is no rules for being an official now, and you don’t follow any rules, as long as you have money, you can do it. Everything in the world can be measured by cost-effectiveness. When officials invest costs to become officials, what benefits they still pay attention to and what benefits they can pursue—can be imagined.

In this way, the monkey feels like anyone cares?”

"This is the end of the world," Zhao Xing took a breath and said slowly: "I tried my best to pull the tracks of history back to the right direction. I want to go against the will of heaven, but now it seems that this is a thankless thing.

Let us work hard. We must elect a person with enough prestige as the party leader and the middle party. At the same time, we must support the declining old party, let them stand up again, and let the gentleman politics of the three parties reunited in the court..."

After a moment of pause, Zhao Xing murmured in a low voice: "Social culture is a whole set. If you want to use the old social psychology to operate the new system, it is absolutely impossible. How to complete supervision needs to be carefully considered to avoid the supervisors being greedy..."

Several generals sat at the door. Seeing Zhao Xing calm down, he seemed to be trapped in memories. The others present were silent and thoughtful, and Cao Sheng came over and bowed to Zhao Xing: "Teacher, the soldiers are asking, which army will be the next battle?"

Zhao Xing woke up from his memories. He smiled and asked Cao Sheng: "Why, the soldiers are in a hurry to go to the battle? This is a good phenomenon. Who are you talking about favors?"

Cao Sheng laughed and replied: "Teacher, the three thousand people who fought in front include Guangjie Army generals, Xuanyi Army generals, and a thousand Zhuque Army. The soldiers all thought that the elite troops of each army would be drawn this time, so I asked me to ask.

Teacher, you also know why the soldiers are so urgent. They are all making money. The previous group of soldiers who came back from the battle have made a fortune, so the next group of soldiers will be in charge of their own favors…”

Zhao Xing smiled and asked back: "What's the price now?"

Cao Sheng replied with a smile: "Those who are willing to give up the quota will receive 300 guan. Those who compete for the quota will pay 3,000 guan in advance... The teacher is worried that there is no bribe in the middle, so everyone just raises money and buys more warships... Now, overseas treasures are piled up like mountains, and the warships go to the battle are not enough, so the soldiers gather money to buy armed forces themselves. Hiring sailors can also be regarded as sharing the worries of the court."

The last time Zhao Xing brought out the soldiers to fight in the expedition for nearly a year - no, they can't be considered a continuous battle, but they have been away from their hometown for nearly a year.

The Song people had a strong rural concept, and modern psychology research believes that if a soldier goes to war for one year, then his period of rest will take at least one year, so that he can adjust his mental state... Of course, many scientists do not agree with this view. They believe that a period of rest for one year will take at least two years to adjust his mental state.

Zhao Xing obtained this information from a modern war movie. It is said that the Americans went to the front line for up to one year, and the following days require government support to restore their psychology. The government provides everything, including male soldiers with dentures and plastic surgery; female soldiers, and even breast augmentation costs are borne by the government. The government spends money without seeking other places, so the soldiers who go out to fight have a good mood and are willing to return to the battlefield.

Based on this, after Zhao Xing returned from the war, he immediately gave all the soldiers a three-month leave. Three months later, he was also preparing to let these soldiers engage in some social activities, such as connecting with villagers and helping the people complete some tasks that they could not achieve, so as to enable the soldiers to reintegrate into this society and restore the normal mentality of people.

With the help of the Song Dynasty's rule of "moving troops and obtaining grain", Zhao Xing adopted rotating wars for overseas wars. After each army went to war, they were allowed to stay overseas for up to one year, and then returned home in glory with their own robbery. At present, the soldiers returning home in glory have attracted the envy of ignorant villagers. They brought big bags of spoils of war, and the first thing they did after returning home was to get married, buy land, and build factories. This was also what the ancients liked to do the most.

Because of these people and land demonstration effects, many young and strong laborers who could not make ends meet in their hometowns or were dissatisfied with their families began to pack large bags of land and luggage, and rushed to coastal provinces, trying to get an official job, go around overseas, and then come back to start a family and start a business.

The current great development of coastal provinces has further absorbed a huge amount of labor. People who defected to coastal provinces can find a job to support themselves no matter what. Even if they are not a soldier, they can find a job in road construction teams or workshops that bloom everywhere along the coast. This has caused the population of the Song Dynasty to gradually evolve from Mizhou from the Central Plains region in the Jinglu area to the coastal provinces. As a result, it has also caused a small change in history - the Song Dynasty had entered the marine era with one foot, but the coastal areas were not as developed as the mainland. Now with a steady supply of labor, the southeastern region has gradually evolved from half of the Song Dynasty's wealth to 60% and 70%.

Zhao Xing didn't mind the soldiers spending money to fight for the quota for battle. Anyway, after these soldiers went to war, they made money from foreigners, so why should he be sad for foreigners? Cao Sheng's answer made him think about it and immediately said: "This time I go to the battle, I plan to let you young generals visit you too, but I won't let you come to the front line. I need you all to go to the General Staff to learn how to formulate a combat plan and how to implement this plan."

Cao Sheng bowed with a smile: "Teacher, then let's thank you for your dad. My dad said that the teacher is best at planning. If you learn three points of effort from the teacher, students can also get a teacher."

Zhao Xing waved his hand and signaled Cao Sheng to retreat. Cao Sheng ran to the teahouse with a smile, whispered to the officers, and also whispered to his own companions. Seeing that their attention had shifted, Zhao Xing leaned close to Yuan Yeping's ear and whispered: "Three thousand guan, Zhimi Pavilion-I know why the officials dare not disturb me from entering the court."

Yuan Yeping also whispered: "Three thousand ropes, Zhimi Pavilion - this is still good! News came from the capital that he likes to go out of the market today and likes to wander around the market. The censors impeached several times. The officials were embarrassed to leave the palace easily, so Cai Jing set up a small market in the palace. The palace maids disguised as vendors selling wine and tea, while the officials disguised as beggars and begged at the door, and everyone was having fun."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "The government is like this, I have nothing to say."

Yuan Yeping whispered again: "Changmen Hall is not in China all year round. I heard that the officials of Guan, Luo Party, and Hangzhou Party are complaining about the Taiwei. Because the Taiwei is not here, no one dares to speak out. I suggest that the Taiwei should meet Wang Wei and Wang Mingsou immediately. I heard that this person is very capable, Lord Huang (Huang Tingjian) intends to elect this person."

Zhao Xing nodded and immediately asked: "What are Qin Guan and Qin Shaoyou doing recently?"

Yuan Yeping replied: "Sir Qin and Mao Pang and Mao Zemin traveled all day long. The two of them recruited a group of music and rehearsed new dramas all day long. The Censor has impeached several times, but they have been suppressed by us."

"Where is Chao Buzhi? Where is Su Mai?"

"Mr. Chao is a cadre. He and Master Su work together to work in Xiuzhou to make a prosperous land. Well, Master Chao reported a plan of 12 million yuan this year, intending to expand the Huating Marina and Renovate the roads in Xiuzhou."

Zhao Xing high-high: "Brother Buzhi knows my heart well, spend it! Money earns is spent. Only by spending money can you make a profit - this is called infrastructure investment."

After asking about the situation of other officials, Zhao Xing quietly reminded Yuan Yeping: "The situation in the court is getting more and more chaotic, and I am going to start from two aspects. On the one hand, we support our local people in the court, and on the other hand, we must protect the southeast coast from chaos... Oh, and we must add two lakes, and Xie Lin also needs to contact us more.

These three aspects will be the focus of our work. It sounds like a huge battlefield, but it is not difficult to do it. Nowadays, there are fewer means of information dissemination, and many people have not even written a letter in their lifetime. So the only way for officials to obtain information is to invite each other to have banquets, and I have built a grand and high-end romantic place in various places to attract officials to exchange information there. So, you just need to start from this aspect.

In fact, we don’t need many people, and three or two intelligence officers can watch the entire restaurant - after all, officials’ banquets are not available every day, and not every room in the restaurant is full of guests.

In addition to restaurants, there are stations, which control stations. You can control the channels for information dissemination. The only channels are kings.

In addition, we also need a group of mobile personnel to focus on monitoring after discovering any clues, and their means..."

As he was talking about this, a warrior carrying a small flag rushed over at the door. He rushed to the door and asked the officer at the door loudly: "I heard that the Taiwei is inspecting Nanxin Town. Do you know where the Taiwei is?"

The officers at the door pointed their hands at the door. When the guests in the teahouse heard the call, they suddenly became silent. They stared at Zhao Xing with a stunned look and stood up, and nodded to the guests in the teahouse with a smile, and then walked out of the door.

Zhao Xing's back had just disappeared outside the door. A broker in the teahouse hit his forehead with his hand and shouted: "Human favor, this is a huge favor. Why did I miss this favor? I should have seen that the officers at the door were riding war horses on the storm. In this way, you can imagine what the identity of the guests in the door was. So stupid, why am I so stupid?!"

The teahouse owner sneered softly: "Who are you? Who is the Grand Marshal? Can you get to the front? A group of swords and guns. I saw the little man next to the Grand Marshal kept pressing his hands on his waist. What was that? Thunder and musket, do you know? Before you get close, the people around the Grand Marshal will treat you as an assassin and kill you!"

Zhao Xing didn't care about the noise in the teahouse. He approached the officer and asked in a low voice: "Why are you panic?"

The messenger replied in a low voice: "Goryeo Park In-kwang rushed to Hangzhou and said that you have seen the new King of Goryeo, which is the prince you met when you first went to Goryeo. He rushed to Song State on behalf of the prince and begged you to listen to him."

After a moment of pause, the messenger soldier whispered: "The general commander asked me to tell the master: The situation in Goryeo is not good, and the Jurchens are already at the gate of the capital. If the capital is opened, the Jurchens will have no worries from now on."

Zhao Xing turned around and asked Yuan Yeping: "In the Goryeo, is there any businessman in the Nanyang Affairs Bureau damaged its property?"

Yuan Yeping smiled and shook his head: "Taiwei, now it is different from the past. My Song Dynasty suppressed the South China Sea and fought a war with the Liao people. The Jurchens' maritime trade relied on us. How dare they easily anger us? According to investigation, the Jurchens were very polite to Song Shang. Wanyan Aguda had restrained his subordinates and strictly prohibited from looting the Song people."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "I know Park In-kwang's purpose. We must deal with the Jurchens now. You go and create an incident. Although the Jurchens dare not anger Song Shang, we just say he was angry and said that he robbed some Song Shang and caused my Song Shang property to be damaged."

Unexpectedly, Yuanyeping also began to become a philistine in the city. He shook his head, smacked his lips, and said disdainfully: "What are the Jurchens? They are just a group of barbarians who can't even afford to wear silk. We used to rely on them to sell horses, but now we have better horses, do we still need them?

Isn’t the Taiwei often said that it is cost-effective? What benefits can we do when we go to war with the Jurchens... Moreover, the matter in Liaodong is managed by the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. Han Zhongyan just took office and was thinking about allocating 3,000 muskets from us. It’s better for us to give them the guns and let him fight."
