One hundred and eighty-four Xin Qiji begins to awaken
Xin Qiji has never thought about social issues so deeply.
Although he followed his grandfather to conduct in-depth investigations into the local folk customs of the Jin Dynasty, inspected the terrain and folk customs of Yanyun, he thought that he had enough understanding of society and relying on this understanding was enough to help the Southern Dynasty launch the Northern Expedition, wipe out the Jin Dynasty, and restore the Central Plains.
His mission was completed.
From then on, the world will be peaceful. People will live a happy and fulfilling life under the rule of the Song Dynasty's officials, and no tragedy in the world will happen again.
That's what he thinks.
However, after reading Su Yonglin's manuscript, he suddenly realized that he had never studied the fundamental problems of this society in depth, and he had not understood many problems at all.
What he saw was only the appearance and the superficial reasons of the appearance. If he went deeper, he would not know.
He doesn't understand what regime, what policies, what conscription and taxation systems, what social changes, etc.
Su Yonglin's manuscript reveals the deep-seated reasons for the social phenomenon of starvation, at least in the southern Song Dynasty.
In Xin Qiji's view, as time progresses and Su Yonglin grows older, his understanding of the Zhao Song regime has become more and more profound. He has gained nothing in this regime.
So he knew where the crux of land annexation and starvation was, so he began to propose his own solution.
From his sixteen-year-old manuscript, Xin Qiji saw Su Yonglin constantly trying to propose his own plan and constantly improving it.
He did not completely deny everything about the Song Dynasty.
On the contrary, he believed that the rulers of the Song Dynasty provided a path that was completely different from the previous dynasty, that is, a path that did not use land as the only lifeline of the dynasty.
This road is very interesting, different from previous dynasties.
In order to conscription and taxation, all dynasties had to curb land annex and fight against land annexes, and do their best to delay the speed of land annexes, prolong the life of the dynasty, and try to obtain everything from the land.
Only when the Song Dynasty did not suppress land annexation, there were no major problems in taxation and conscription. The dynasty maintained until the invasion of foreign enemies and did not encounter internal unrest that could bring about subversion.
Some of the systems and ideas of the Song Dynasty were even very avant-garde and advanced, and in Su Yonglin's view, it could even create a new future.
But the road to this future is set up by the stupid retro rigid dominant thinking and land contradictions of its ruling class.
The Song Dynasty did enjoy the benefits brought by the new path, but it was also tortured by the land contradictions of the old era because half of its body remained in the old era.
While it wants to embrace the new era, it is confined to the shackles left by the old era and can never make a choice, but chooses to drag everything down until the end of the sea and the rocks are gone.
Su Yonglin even thought that if there was no enemy, given it enough time, and there was a slight possibility that the Song Dynasty might be able to slowly solve this problem and truly embark on a new path.
But there is no time.
The alien enemies in the north are constantly using the ruling wisdom and technological wisdom of the Han people to become stronger. They do not have the shackles of stupid retro rigid ruling thinking. They will only become stronger in pursuit of wealth and luxury.
They will use all this to build themselves into extremely terrifying war machines and destroy the world.
They don’t need to build it, they just need to plunder, and continuous plunder is enough.
If the Central Plains Empire did not regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun before this, it would be possible to rebuild the Great Wall defense line and vigorously develop cavalry, it would even have a crisis of national destruction in the future.
Su Yonglin believes that a huge terrifying threat is gradually taking shape on the northern grasslands, and its threat is much greater than the Liao Kingdom in the past and the Jin Kingdom in the present.
The Han people have no time.
We must immediately remove our own shackles and develop with all our might!
Jin, Song, Xia, Dali...
Wait, wait, all obstacles that are ahead of this goal. All must be eliminated, the unification of China must be completed, and then the development will be made with all efforts, and the national strength will be strengthened every minute, and the huge threat on the northern grassland will be eliminated first.
And if we want to do all this, it will not work to follow the path of internal improvement.
The idiots inside them will do their best to pull the reformers to the same level as the ones, become stupid, and then defeat the reformers with their rich experience of stupidity.
God will not give reformers more time and opportunities.
God will not favor reformers!
Reform won't work!
Finally, he believed that if we want to change all this, we cannot solve it from within this system. If we want to succeed, we must take the most difficult path, that is, to make changes from the bottom.
We have to change the world!
Want to revolution!
Su Yonglin pointed out that his revolution was not the so-called revolution, not the change of heaven’s destiny, but the need to change the world and change the world.
Because of this, no help can be sought from vested interests, because they will never support a revolution of another world.
They only want to maintain existing interests and pursue more interests, and Su Yonglin's revolution will be completely liquidated, so they will definitely violate their interests.
So it was not feasible to take the imperial examination and become an official and launch reforms, so I gave up directly.
If the path of the upper class cannot be understood, he can only take the lower level and start to make changes from the general public at the bottom of society.
They are large in number and have extremely huge power, but as individuals, they are extremely weak.
They must be concentrated and the number of advantages must be used to fight against the superiors.
However, their individuals have obvious shortcomings such as short-sightedness, cowardice, ignorance, etc., which are extremely difficult to awaken, and even unable to awaken themselves. If they want to organize them and lead them through the shackles, they must transform them, let them learn, help them, and lead them.
Therefore, we need to lead them to learn together, prompt them to realize that they should not be a cow or a horse, but should live as a person, stimulate them with new ideas and make them truly awaken.
After awakening, they should be organized with their support and confidence, and use their great impact to break through this decadent shackles!
Only in this way can we welcome a new life.
In order to achieve this goal, a complete set of guiding ideology and routes are needed to touch their most core pursuits, which are in line with their interests and represent their interests.
Then there are also specific methods and processes that require speculation and research on people's hearts.
Su Yonglin decided to first change the core members of Su Jia Private Salt Group, the group closest to him.
Because Su Yonglin's power is weak, he needs help, and he needs many helpers to awaken them, become a seed, spread them, and create a prairie fire with sparks.
If even these people cannot change, how can we change more people and further change the world?
Start now and change the world!
This section of the manuscript ends here.
Here, it is almost one-third of Su Yonglin's entire manuscript, recording the process when Su Yonglin matured his thoughts and decided to take action between the ages of sixteen and seventeen.
Xin Qiji was completely attracted by Su Yonglin's manuscript.
This amazing in-depth study and magical prospects for the future have answered some of his inner doubts.
In particular, Su Yonglin's view on the huge threat on the northern grassland coincides with Xin Qiji himself.
When I went to Yanyun to investigate the situation, Xin Qiji learned about the northern border troubles of the Jin Empire. He learned that the Mengwu tribe on the grassland was very strong and brave in fighting. The Jin Kingdom could not win or suppress them several times, and was deeply worried.
Some people even used the Huns in the Han Dynasty to describe the Mongwu knights on the grassland, which made Xin Qiji very alert.
However, Xin Qiji didn't know how Su Yonglin, who lived far away in the Southern Song Dynasty, understood the deep concerns of the Jin Dynasty about the Mengwu tribe.
This made another part of his doubts more and more urgently needed answers.
He was extremely eager to know the answer.
He wanted to know the entire past and future of the Shengjie Army, and to see the mystery of the world from this manuscript.
He felt that Su Yonglin's way of thinking was different from ordinary people, and it was a very strange perspective. From this perspective, he could often see many things that others could not see or imagine.
This is very important.
At this moment, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are no longer so important in his heart. What he urgently wants to know is what this world is.
How can we have such thinking and find the essence of the problem to solve the problem?
Xin Qiji began the process of awakening.
He began to read Su Yonglin's manuscripts hungryly, and even to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.
Even during the rest period of training soldiers in the Red Axe Camp, he kept reading Su Yonglin's manuscript, and couldn't put down the book when eating, and read while squatting in the pit when going to the toilet.
I was fascinated by the intoxication.
The more you read, the more you can feel that you have a better understanding of the essence of the entire society.
Xin Qiji even felt that his perspective on the problem had changed inadvertently.
While he was studying, Su Yonglin was also constantly preparing for the army to head north and preparing for the possible powerful strikes of the Jin army.
