Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 44
Han Shizhong followed Wang Zhong into the barracks and went outside Wang Xiao's hunting camp.Looking at the open space ahead, several instructors are training soldiers.Thirty or so students had serious attitudes, neat movements, and looked very imposing.

Sitting down in the pergola, Wang Zhong served tea.

Han Shizhong took a sip of tea and said, "There are many troops in Kaifeng City, as well-organized as you, and there are no more troops."

Wang Zhongdao: "Control, Xiaosheren are strictly restrained, and everyone has to obey."

Han Shizhong couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "To be able to get his subordinates to obey is something that most people can't match. How many leaders in Kaifeng City can restrain their subordinates? It is very rare that soldiers are not allowed to go out here, and everything is in good order. "

Wang Zhong nodded yes.Wang Zhong doesn't know if Han Shizhong is right or not, but this is a distinguished guest, and it's always good to follow him.

After drinking tea for a while, a large group of people, fifty or sixty, came out of Wang Xiao's hunting barracks, all of them looking happy.Wang Zhong saw it and hurried forward to report.Seeing Wang Xiaohun listening, he hurried over.

When he got to the front, Wang Xiao's forkman: "I don't know if the control will come, but I will be far away! I hope you forgive me!"

Han Shizhong returned the salute: "No need to be too polite. I have free time today, and I will visit your army. I don't want to disturb your business."

Wang Xiaohun had visited Han Shizhong several times, but unfortunately, the two never met.Han Shizhong's visit today is a return visit to Wang Xiaohun.During the battle of Luoyang, Han Shizhong and Ding Jin had a conflict, and they fought endlessly after returning to Kaifeng.Knowing that Wang Xiaohun also fell out with Ding Jin, and Wang Xiaohun had won several battles, I had a good impression of him.

After a few words of gossip, Han Shizhong pointed at the departing humanity and said, "Who are these people? Xiaosheren attaches great importance to them?"

Wang Xiaohun said: "These are some of the unranked literati in Kaifeng City. After the Jin Army came, they had no chance to leave and lost their livelihood. Our army was short of people, so they recruited them to work in the army."

Han Shizhong shook his head after hearing this: "Xiaosheren, when is this? What the army wants is a hero who can wield knives and guns. What's the use of recruiting a group of awlers? Waste of food!"

Wang Xiaohun said: "You can't say that. There is no harm in being literate. There are many things to do."

Han Shizhong just shook his head, obviously not thinking so.Unlike Yue Fei, who treated literati well, Han Shizhong did not like to see literati, and they were also lacking in the army.It was not until his later years, after he went to the military power, that he learned to recite poetry and became a different kind of person.

The army that Wang Xiao hunted for was a new type of army that required knowledge.Can't read but not.If you don't know a single big character, you can't even read the bulletin in the military, so you can only have soldiers, and it's still an old-fashioned army.Now there are many literati in Kaifeng City, many people are hungry, Wang Xiaohun recruited into the army.Even if you can't do anything else, you can teach your soldiers to read.

These middle- and lower-class literati, Wang Xiaohun understands, and cannot place too high expectations.Just put them in the right position and do the right job, and you can't expect more.War is a soldier's business.The so-called Confucian generals, first of all, can talk about Confucianism and not Confucianism.

It is very difficult for middle and lower literati.To use a word from later generations, many of them are small literati.Why call them little literati?Because most of them have no family and country feelings, let alone the world.Many are hoping to find a meal errand, preferably one that is both leisurely and well-fed.It is said that they are literati because they can read, not the kind of literati feelings.

Small literati, or petty intellectuals, as well as petty proprietors, petty bourgeoisie, etc., are very difficult for the state to govern.They face the bottom, familiar with all the dark sides of the world.Their lives are more superior, different from the bottom.Above them, there is an entire state apparatus, and many levels can manage them.Coupled with their literacy and a certain culture, countless incidents have arisen.

In a previous life, Wang Xiaohun had a friend who was a middle school political teacher.According to him, his teaching achievements are unparalleled.He once asked Wang Xiaohun a question.We talk about building a harmonious society every day, and so on.But why in life, for example, he has good teaching grades, but all advanced rewards and so on depend on the leader's face.And the leader doesn't look at your teaching grades, but sees who gives him gifts, who invites him to eat, and who has a relationship with the leader.It's completely different from what it says in the book.

At that time, Wang Xiaohun's answer was that he hadn't understood what he was reading.Now that I think about it, this answer should be appropriate.From middle school teachers, to officials at all levels, to national leaders, I don't know how many layers are separated.From the perspective of middle school teachers, the major policies of the country, such as a harmonious society, are of course used for teaching, and they understand in their hearts, but they cannot guide work and life.It is normal that what you study in books is different from real life.But when the bureaucracy goes up layer by layer, it is completely different when it reaches the top level of politics.

Objectively speaking, this is determined by their status in society.Of course, there are characters who have surpassed their own status, but most of them are limited to this class.After the founding of New China, going to the mountains to go to the countryside and receiving re-education by the poor and lower-middle peasants was a response to the characteristics of this class.

Social status determines social consciousness, although not necessarily true for individuals, but not too far from class.If there is a social class with such a status in the society, such a social consciousness will inevitably arise, which is in line with materialism.

A society needs officials, capitalists, workers, peasants, petty proprietors, petty bourgeoisie, and petty intellectuals, all of which are inevitable.Since it is inevitable, it is necessary to admit that the social consciousness produced by these people is also inevitable.Society is complex, and so is social consciousness.

When Wang Xiaohun was in his previous life, the society changed very fast, and he could clearly feel this change in social consciousness.For a period of time, everyone was very poor. The popular culture of society was to make money. Besides making money, it was wine, sex, and wealth.With the development of society, the culture of petty intellectuals and petty bourgeoisie became popular.First, there are all kinds of thick black studies, deconstructing history, deconstructing reality, and then Chinese studies, antiques, foreign wine, clubs, members and so on.These popular cultures themselves illustrate the progress of society and the changes in social consciousness.

For a period of time, an article in this era was especially popular, saying that it was written by Lu Mengzheng "Hanjiao Fu", and it was even said to be the first strange text in the ages.In fact, as long as you read a few sentences, you have a clear feeling, how could the champion of the Song Dynasty write such a thing?In fact, the "Hanjiao Fu" that was named after Lu Mengzheng was definitely not written by Lu Mengzheng.Because what is written in it is that fate is impermanent, with obvious imprints of lower-class intellectuals.The popularity of this kind of article shows that the mainstream of social consciousness at that time accepted this kind of thinking.

Everything in New China is changing too fast, and the same is true of social consciousness.Wang Xiaohun has a lot of thoughts, but in fact, with the consciousness of his previous life, he must pay attention to himself and remove those things that are obviously changed by the times.

With these lower-class literati, that is the case.Don't expect too much from them, just use the right location.The talents you need must be cultivated with your own heart to be truly usable.

This month, Wang Xiaohun was not only familiar with the world, but also changed his mind.Let your thoughts adapt to the world.Only in this way, and only when done well, can truly change the world.

Han Shizhong naturally couldn't understand Wang Xiaohun's thoughts, so he changed the subject after saying a few words.

Seeing the sun rise, Wang Xiaohun said: "Control, it's really negligent to talk in here, and ask the accountant to speak."

Han Shizhong said: "We are the ones who lead the army to fight, why should we care about the politeness! The weather is hot, it's just right to speak here."

Wang Xiaohun had no choice but to agree.He ordered Wang Zhong to fetch the fruit and chat with Han Shizhong.
