Chapter 546
From the moment Jia Huan decided to come to Taiwan, she knew that with Princess Jian'an's intelligence, she might not be able to guess the clue.Therefore, the preparatory words have been prepared for a long time.He thought for a while and said, "It's not really a rebellion, we just want to be at the forefront of the world with the people of our country. As you can see, we want to change the entire social system. This system has been around for thousands of years, and the people of our country have long been used to it. But No matter how long the system is, it has an end." Nai scratched his head, "I can't explain this kind of historical trend as clearly as Cong'er, and I can't draw it clearly."
Princess Jian'an said calmly, "I don't understand many of the words you said."
"I didn't understand it at first." Jia Huan said, "I didn't understand it until I listened a lot. Anyway, our generation is at the juncture of historical transformation. From now on, until now, the whole world will not understand If there is an autocratic monarchy system, it can only be a constitutional monarchy. Because economic and technological development has reached a breakthrough.”
Princess Jian'an said: "I don't understand the four words autocracy. I don't understand anything after these four words."
"How about this." Jia Huan took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "Let's get two certificates of cleaners and go to night school to attend classes. I wonder if we will talk about this tonight." See Princess Jian'an on the street today The cleaners who used to clean up full-time are called "cleaners" in the capital, but they have never worn bright orange clothes like them.Shi Xiangyun once said at the time that they wore orange so that the horse-drawn carriages passing by on the street could be seen more clearly so that they would not be hit by accident.This kind of color cannot be worn by inferior people.
Jia Cong then sent someone to get two work permits for cleaners, and the two changed into ordinary people's clothes and took a night bus and carriage to Dajiala No. [-] Adult Night School.When we got there, we realized that everyone was carrying charcoal pencils and notebooks. Jia Cong hurried to the night school store to buy two sets.I missed a class on social systems tonight, so I sat in on a biology class.Mr. Na is a young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, who must have been a student of the first batch of compulsory education schools in Taiwan government.This class is about the science of genetic inheritance. Take a Westerner named Mendel who planted pea flowers as an example.
Princess Jian'an thought it was very interesting, and went to ask Mr. Na for a long time after class.Jia Huan, who she asked already knew, coughed a few times, wanted to tell her but was too embarrassed to tell her, and endured it very hard.At the end, the female gentleman looked at Jia Huan with a smile and asked, "Who is this?"
Princess Jian'an said: "It's my man." Jia Huan nodded slightly behind him.
The female gentleman said: "I can see from the look on your man's face that he seems to understand biology. This sister, you should just ask him for advice." Jia Huan suddenly blushed in embarrassment.
Princess Jian'an looked back at Jia Huan: "What does he know?"
Jia Huan coughed twice again: "It's just a few popular science classes." The female teacher smiled slightly and went to answer other students' questions.Princess Jian'an glared at Jia Huan, Jia Huan was a bit embarrassed.
The two of them returned to their residence by bus and carriage.As soon as Princess Jian'an came back, Jia Huan asked Jia Huan to buy books according to the book list given by the lady.Jia Huan couldn't help but laugh: "The bookstores are closed at this point, even the library is closed."
Princess Jian'an snorted, "Anyway, you'll get it for me early tomorrow morning."
"Follow your orders, Your Royal Highness!"
Princess Jian'an took a look at the notes she had copied, and said, "This evening school is for ordinary people? What do they teach?"
"Teach everything." Jia Huan said, "Science popularization is the main thing. Those who don't know how to read have to take a quick literacy class before going to night school, so that they can recognize some commonly used characters first."
"Don't you need to be handed over to repair?"
"There is no need to hand over the repair."
"You don't need to learn to read and write?"
"No. And the quick literacy class is compulsory, that is to say, those who want to settle in Taiwan must be able to read some characters, and they must read or not read."
Princess Jian'an turned around and looked at him fixedly: "Who will pay for the money, sir?"
"The government pays." Jia Huan also met her gaze and said, "To put it bluntly, it is tax money, which is called taking from the people and using it for the people."
Princess Jian'an said indifferently: "Therefore, the people in this Taiwan mansion are all the people of the Jia family."
Jia Huan shook his head: "That's not true. Have you ever heard someone sing praises to the Jia family?"
Princess Jian'an thought: "It's not really for the hearts of the people. If it's just for the hearts of the people, it's good to publicize it. From ancient times to the present, all the people who read books are scholars. How can the inferior people know how to read?"
Jia Huan said: "That's because books were expensive in ancient times. Now it's much easier to print books. You can use the money from selling hardcover erotic paintings to print some "Three Character Classics" and "Thousand Character Classics" for ordinary people to read." He hesitated Huizi said, "The men in our family don't keep concubines, and they don't like to make the house magnificent. Save the money and invite the husband."
Princess Jian'an was drinking tea with her head down, when she heard the words, she raised her head suddenly: "You mean that my father is extravagant and has many concubines?"
"No, my father has also raised many concubines." Jia Huan waved his hands hurriedly, "I mean that the monarchs of all dynasties and dynasties have raised many concubines. Even if one or two generations are still thrifty, at most the third generation will start Extravagance. This is human nature and human nature. There is nothing wrong with it. I just want to explain that it doesn’t cost much to ask sir to print a few books on literacy. It is much cheaper than raising a little wife and buying extravagant things gone."
Princess Jian'an snorted, and asked: "The Taiwan government acts with the utmost respect and inferiority, is it intentional?"
"That's right, it was on purpose." Jia Huan said, "You have to put the gold and sand into the sieve together before you can find the gold. Ordinary people have a lot of smart children in their families. If you pick them out and educate them, they will be natural talents." Constantly."
"You want so many talents, not for rebellion, but for what else? Establishing a country overseas?"
Jia Huan thought for a long time, and said: "It is absolutely necessary to establish a country overseas. It is much easier to build a country overseas. Oh, I will go to the library tomorrow and borrow a copy of "The Evolution of Human Society". Come here and read it. After reading it, you will naturally understand."
Princess Jian'an was silent for a moment and said: "Let the low-class people read and write, and they will be wild and unwilling to do low-class things anymore?"
Jia Huan spread his hands and said, "Then do it for the new immigrants! There are always new immigrants coming in. Besides, not everyone can go to school. After all, there is a lot of sand, but how many pieces of gold are there?"
Princess Jian'an took another sip of tea, sat upright for a while and said, "The book you just mentioned, "The Evolution of Human Society", I want to read it right now."
Jia Huan thought for a while, she probably won't be able to sleep tonight, and said: "Zhonghua Bookstore must have it, I'll let someone get it." Princess Jian'an casually twisted up the book list given by the lady gentleman and handed it over.Jia Huan smiled, took it and sent someone to Zhonghua Bookstore to look for books.
That night, Princess Jian'an read a book all night.Jia Huan stayed by her side honestly, explaining things she didn't understand.It wasn't until the morning of the next day that I got a general idea, and also vaguely knew what the Jia family wanted to do.Naihe Shu said: "You are trying to break the family of Situ."
Jia Huan said: "Princess, think about it. If there is a civil war among the kings, no matter which one inherits the great treasure, the rest of you will not even be able to save their lives? After all, it is because the emperor has too much power."
Princess Jian'an said: "There is no master in the world, how can there be chaos?"
Jia Huan said with a smile: "There is always a way, and the world is bound to get better and better. People often say that people's hearts are not old, as if they were good in ancient times. In fact, what was so good in ancient times? They lived in straw huts and had food. What we eat is coarse grains, what we wear is animal skins, and people starve to death every day. You see, our yard has running water, so we don’t need to go to the well to fetch water. It would be great if the manpower saved could be used for overseas expansion.”
Princess Jian'an thought for a long time and said, "I want to meet Jia Cong."
Jia Huan looked at the dark circles under her eyes: "Do you want to lie down for a while?" Princess Jian'an shook her head.Jia Huan then sent someone to invite Jia Cong over.
Jia Cong was discussing Fujian affairs with Wu Xiaoxi and others, but he put them aside for the time being.In Beijing, younger uncle and sister-in-law are more taboo to meet each other, Da Jiala has long since lost this scruple, Jia Cong bowed his hands to Jia Huan and his wife: "Third brother and third sister-in-law!"
Princess Jian'an sighed softly and signaled Jia Huan to get out of the way.Jia Huan really avoided it.Princess Jian'an said seriously: "Jia Cong, can you predict the future?"
Jia Cong looked at the book in her hand, and said seriously, "Yes. Nothing written in this book is conjecture. The dictatorship of the monarchy is like water flowing eastward. Once it goes away, it will never return. It is the same in all countries in the world."
Princess Jian'an said: "This book says that everyone will be equal after a hundred years, and no one will be born higher or lower than others."
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "This is an ordinary popular science book. It is a dream for ordinary people. A hundred years later, or 300 years later, people are still born with high and low. Take reading as an example, ordinary people still can only recognize a few. If you want to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you still have to be a child of a rich family. It’s just better than now... much better than now. There will be no more ridiculous things.”
"What absurdity?"
"For example, Prince Yizhong failed to seize the heir apparent. The blood stained the vegetable market countless times. I don't know how many irrelevant people died. What a baby who was just a few months old, and the relatives of Prince Yizhong's subordinates who can't be beaten. There are also officials who committed crimes and punished their sons and grandsons to serve as coolies in the army, and their wives were demoted to prostitutes." Princess Jian'an was silent.Jia Cong added, "For example, there are thousands of eunuchs and maids in the imperial palace, and the emperor's women are not allowed to leave the palace... Isn't the emperor's family also a victim? Doesn't the princess like to travel around? If not The world is divided, and Concubine Ning will not be able to get out of that palace since she entered the palace gate. There is also King Xiaolu. If the world is not divided, maybe his older brothers will get him involved. It’s not safe to get involved. Seeing Qin Ershi almost killed Yingzheng’s sons and daughters. Tang Minghuang Li Longji was considered a wise master in his early years, and he killed a few sons in a good manner. These are the disadvantages of the rule of man. People are not Machines will make mistakes. We want to establish a country ruled by law overseas first. If someone commits a crime, it is only his own business, and it does not implicate relatives, friends, or neighbors."
Princess Jian'an said: "The law of implicated companies can also shock people's hearts."
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "The crime is serious enough to implicate the nine clans, so it must not be a matter of stealing chickens and dogs, it must be a major event. How many people who are willing to commit major events will care about their relatives and friends? Besides, most of them can also get big benefits. How many people in front of Dali are willing to care about their relatives and friends? Talking about Dali, there are not many people who are willing to care about Xiaoli. Take Seizing the Inheritance as an example. Those uncles and brothers of the princess who don’t know that they will die if they lose? But who is willing to go? Want to lose by yourself? I don’t know how many talents and generals have died unjustly among those who have nothing to do with the money.” He sighed, “It’s good to keep them to fight Westerners.”
Princess Jian'an looked up at him: "After all, it's for the Westerners."
"That's right. If the king of Yan and the king of Wu really snatch all the colonies of the Westerners, it will be fine in the future, and I can be lazy."
Princess Jian'an picked up the book again, flipped through it, and said after a while, "What will happen if you don't come down this trip?"
Jia Cong knew that she regarded herself as a Nezha, and thought for a while: "About 100 years later... Let me think about it, when did Sun Yat-sen establish the Republic of China? About 60 years later, there will be a Revolution of 500 But before that, almost all of my dynasty had been reduced to a colony of Westerners and had been bullied by Westerners for decades. I forgot how many people died. Mr. Sun and his colleagues established the The democratic government took back the country from the Westerners. But our country was too weak at that time. Later, it was invaded by the Dongying people, and many soldiers and civilians died—the statistics of later generations are more than [-] million, maybe more.”
Princess Jian'an gasped: "More than 500 million?"
Jia Cong smiled wryly: "The bones of the dead are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken crowing for thousands of miles. It is almost the same as the tragedy of the chaos in the past. So I persuaded a few princes to destroy the country of Dongying. And, the princess knows, at that time The Son of Heaven is not a fool, and he has done nothing wrong."
Princess Jian'an sternly said: "It's not a foolish king, how could he harm the country to such an extent!"
Jia Cong pursed his lips: "I've said it many times, the princess must have heard of it." He pointed to the book, "It's also in the book."
Princess Jian'an thought for a while: "Fire, gun, artillery."
Jia Cong nodded: "The root of fire, guns and artillery is science and technology. The biology you listened to last night is one of the subjects. Our Taiwan government popularizes science, mathematics, physics and chemistry to select talents and select science from the children of ordinary people. Miaozi—Who in the official family would let their children learn this? I have never paid attention to these things for thousands of years, and now I am too far behind the West. We have to catch up while the Westerners are fighting a civil war. Otherwise, a hundred years later The Westerners’ civil war has long been over, and we still have to be bullied by them—even if America and Australia are taken down at this moment, it’s useless, and they can take it back.” He shook his head and said, “I’m in the Kingdom of Shu and the Kingdom of Yan. It is too difficult for students to learn science knowledge. Those old-fashioned people in the Hanlin Academy really wish they could be kicked out of the window."
Princess Jian'an said with a wry smile: "The children of officials and eunuchs naturally don't want to learn those things."
Jia Cong said with a bitter face: "Someone has to learn... We are behind. We are really behind a lot. I have been running around in various countries for this in recent years."
Princess Jian'an held the "Evolution of Human Society" in her hand and looked at the cover, and said after a while, "Taiwan has only a small population, and the number of seedlings that can be picked out is limited. If you want to pick out more people, you have to do these things in the capital." School."
Jia Cong understood what he meant, overjoyed, and bowed to the ground: "Sister-in-law San is right!"
