Who is hesitating? - written at the end of the second volume of "Ming Dynasty"

Finally finished the second volume, I could finally come out to take a breath, drink a little water, take a break, and watch the birds fight.

When I wrote the second volume, I heard the most sentence that it was not good, and the taste changed. In fact, this book has always been filled with the same idea and has never changed. From the beginning of the first volume, "Rise, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer"; to the first battle of the militia, Wu'anguo was worried about whether the increasingly powerful government's oppression of the people is more serious; to the end of the second volume, all the demands of reform have become a boring drama of forcing the palace, which is just an expression of the author's exploration and thinking about Chinese history and culture. It is just the obscure expression of the first volume, and the second volume bursts out due to the fierce conflicts between various social classes in the text.

The second volume ends with sect. I saw some readers wonderingly that only Lao Tanghe died. How is it called sect? You might as well take a closer look. In this chapter, what is actually the political demands of the emerging classes, and what is destroyed is the politics, not people. This is the most unbearable sadness deep in Wu'an's heart. But no one can understand this sadness. For the lower-level people, what they need is the security in front of them, not personal power. For officials, what they need is the guarantee of their personal lives, rather than reasonable supervision of the government and being supervised by the people.

""If you don't care about it, just treat it as not yourself. You should take your soul out of your body and watch it. If you are slapping it out in a variety of ways, you can also give others a wonderful call. If you see the right time and take the opportunity to fall down and step on the moment you fail, you may be able to be remembered by the winner and become a hero of founding or quelling the rebellion. You may not be famous in history, at least you will not have to worry about food and drink from now on.

"Of course, who should be the emperor and who should die, it's not easy, which makes me even harder to have a good holiday." A man who lost money from gambling last night stretched his waist and walked towards the house with sleepy eyes.

"That's right, it's not easy to ignite, and it's not over." A businessman with a Shanxi accent asked a chat with him. It seemed that he had just come out of the brothel, and there were two unwashed rouge on his cheeks."

This is the national condition of the Ming Dynasty in the novel. With the efforts of Wu'an Guoda and others, it has all the natural conditions for the germination of capitalism, power industry, intensive production, large-scale agriculture, precious metal currency and modern accounting rules, but it does not have the popularization of new ideas that social development should have at this stage. Under this national condition, the more sober you live, the more painful it will be. Therefore, Wu'an Guo can only go, go far away, stay away from political struggles, go outside to build roads and bridges, and do what he can for the country he loves.

As for when the ideal he pursues can be realized and whether the path is correct, Drunkard personally believes that before the whole society is prepared, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, it is all false. As for whether there is thought or a production foundation, Drunkard's personal opinion is that when productivity has not developed to the corresponding stage, the so-called advanced ideas has everything, which is a daydream of a nerd, which is as stupid as Confucianism divides the world into squares. From an engineering perspective, it is neither realizable nor reliable.

Since the development of this book, Wu'anguo doesn't look like a qualified politician no matter how he looks at it. Many readers complain about this character. When the readers complain, the drunkard is very happy. Because the drunkard is like designing such a character, not a great man with infinite wisdom and infinite political charm. He even cannot even learn the thick black learning that the Chinese people highly recommend. His only advantage is that he regards everyone around him as humans, rather than his stepping stones and dolls. There are two reasons for writing this. First, Wu'anguo is

It is really strange if an engineering student, a purely technical talent cast on the Chinese education production line in the 1980s, if he has a political mind, it is really strange. Second, the author has always believed that what China lacks in ancient and modern times is not how thick the means are, how many political geniuses are in their hearts who have never practiced the perfect concept, and what they lack is a mortal who is willing to work for this country steadily and respect the lives and dignity of others. What they lack is a concept of equality, an identification with the political norms generally recognized in today's society.

This brings to an old topic, what is equality? Drunkards received one or two letters almost every month last year to debate the illusion of equality with the drinkers. It is interesting that some debaters are still from Taiwan. It seems that our thousands of years of cultural deposition is deeply rooted, and the pursuit of "ruling people and governing people" is not something that can be shaken by a few words by a drunkard. In fact, the concept of equality is not an innovation of alcoholics. From ancient Greece, "people are born equal, even if people's status, talents and wealth are inevitably different. , but people at least have the minimum right to maintain personal dignity, and justice requires that the law should recognize these rights and protect them." Recently, in the Declaration of Independence, "We believe that the following truth is self-evident: everyone is born equal, and the Creator gives them several unalterable rights, including the right to survive, the right to freedom and the right to pursue happiness. In order to protect these rights, human beings establish government among them, and the legitimate power of the government is granted with the consent of the ruled."

When the drunkard mentioned these words, he immediately refuted by readers, "When America was independent, there were slaves and Indians, why didn't they give equality?"

Readers who hold this view forget one thing, that is, there is a gap between the norm and reality. Only by acknowledging this equality standard can we gradually reach an equal reality. If we don’t even recognize the norm, reality will be even more distant. Just as the United States did not recognize the principle of equality and wrote in their founding declaration that “black people are slaves”, I think later black people were even deprived of the power to fight for equality, and Martin would not have been born among them. Black culture in human society will forever disappear into history.

One thing to be explained is that equality does not represent equality. On the contrary, compulsory average is the greatest trampling on equality. If everyone adheres to the principle of equality, no one has the power to illegally deprive others of their property. No matter how pure the person's blood is, he is a noble or a poor peasant of three generations. Therefore, average does not exist.

The topic is getting far off again. When I go back to this book, the second volume has ended. This is not a hopeful ending, and it cannot even satisfy most readers. But when the story develops here, many things are no longer something that I can do. Even if I force it, it will bring obvious traces of chiseling. The beautiful prince Zhu Biao in everyone's heart has become a conspirator. Perhaps this is something that many readers cannot accept. In fact, if you look closely at the environment in the book, at that time, only the navy was a complete military force in the capital. At this time, it would be strange if Zhu Biao didn't fight for the greatest power for himself. Besides, his father had already revealed his opinion on the deposed prince. In feudal society, Politics is dirty. Perfect characters are impossible. For unrestrained imperial power, anyone will do bad things in that position. This is not only the character of the characters, but also the social environment around them. Bush, who does not like the whole world, once said the most wonderful sentence, "The most precious thing in the history of mankind is not dazzling technology or classic works of the vast masters, but the realization of the taming of the rulers and the realization of the dream of keeping them in a cage. I am standing in the cage and speaking to you." If I still stand outside the cage, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di will not have any essential differences.

The second volume is tired of reading, and the drunkard is tired of writing. Everyone is sad to see Chang Mao and others sacrifice. When the drunkard writes chapters such as Li Ling jumps into the river and Chang Mao’s assassination, they are also not in a good mood for several consecutive days. In the third volume, the drunkard will try to change some things and bring a little bright color to the whole work. Maybe there are not many bright colors, at least there will be a little hope. In the third volume, many characters will show their understanding of society and do what they think is right. It may be ridiculous, but after all, they have already thought with their own brains. So their roles may be hilarious sometimes, and life is already very tiring, and the drunkard does not need to make everyone more tired.

Just talk about these things. After a reminder, the book "Drunk" only expresses an immature thought of a person. Game works are not enough. Don't praise him too much. To be honest, whenever you see the word "Classic", the drinker will be ashamed. At the same time, I hope that those who are intentional and unintentional to advertise with readers who are advertising for specific purposes will show more mercy. Many of your behaviors may be very happy, but they have caused great harm to the drinker. No one hopes that the words they have worked hard to code will be read and said "very good, but they are still a little short of "—" or "too bad, they are too much short of "—"". The book "Drunk" is not a Dream of the Red Chamber and cannot be used to measure other works
