September 10, 1921, 2762 AD, Ryukyu City, Taiwan Province.

If it were the Datu Dynasty in the original time and space, today would be Teachers' Day.

But although New China in this dimension also has Teachers' Day, it is not on this day, but on September 28, which is the birthday of Confucius.

Because Mr.

Wen believes that Teachers’ Day should be a festival with great cultural connotations and should continue the long-standing historical tradition.

Confucius is the most famous and greatest educator and educational theorist in ancient times.

His theories on education have been influential to this day, so it is very appropriate to celebrate his birthday as Chinese Teachers' Day.

According to research and calculation by domestic masters and wild masters of the Chinese Academy of Literature and History, Confucius was born on September 28, 551 BC in the solar calendar.

This date is also appropriate: the busyness at the beginning of the new school year has passed, and there is time to prepare for Teachers’ Day and National Day.

Here I want to talk about Wen Desi’s attitude towards Confucius and Confucianism.

It should be said that the new China's Science and Technology Socialist Party regime did not have a friendly attitude towards Confucianism.

Although it did not destroy Confucius temples in various places like the Datuk Dynasty's "Destroy the Four Olds", the Confucius Mansion in Qufu was raided.

The so-called "Yanshenggong" and his family and vassal members were basically all on the street.

More than 3,000 people were sent to forced labor camps, and hundreds of them were sentenced to death.

The family of "Yanshenggong" and the Confucius family were completely sent to the prison.

The dustbin of history.

They brought this fate upon themselves.

Everyone knows that the Kong family has never been a good bird.

In history, it is known as a wallflower.

It has repeatedly kneeled and licked foreigners.

It has no integrity.

As long as the invaders have the upper hand, they will definitely kneel and lick them, no matter it is Jurchen, Mongolian, Manchu and Qing Dynasties or Japan.

During the Anti-Japanese War in the original time and space, Chairman Chiang saw through the urinary nature of this family, so he took the "Yanshenggong" to Chongqing.

Facts have proved that Chairman Chiang did the right thing.

Sure enough, as soon as the Japanese came, the acting head of the Confucius family went to kneel down and lick the Japanese Taijun and the Wang puppet regime.

Confucius was a nationalist who said, "If Guan Zhong is insignificant, I will be sent to Zuojun."

Even though Guan Zhong was the prime minister of Qi and a great enemy of Lu, he did not hesitate to praise him.

If Confucius knew anything underground, he would be so angry that he would come out and beat these unscrupulous descendants to death.

Well, there is another theory that the current family of Confucius may not really be the descendants of Confucius.

The direct descendants of the grandson have all died in the "Confucius chaos" in the late Tang Dynasty.

The family that later took charge of Confucius's family Confucius and Confucius cannot be compared with each other.

Of course, being a traitor in the Confucius Mansion is only a historical problem for them, and it is not the main reason why they were raided.

The main reason why they were killed was that they were too good at seeking death.

They were local tyrants who owned a large amount of land in Qufu and nearby areas.

They had bullied men and women for many years and committed all kinds of evil.

Anyway, other local tyrants and evil gentry had done the same bad things. , they have done it all without fail, and they even went further by relying on the "Yan Shenggong" sign.

When Qufu was liberated, people came to accuse and report them in an endless stream.

So no matter from the perspective of political liquidation or from the perspective of Mingzheng canon punishment, they are dead.

Besides, during the uprising of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, they started to slander and viciously criticize the Socialist Party of Science and Technology and Wen Desi.

Mr.

Wen did not have the temper to turn the other cheek to him even after being slapped on the left cheek.

There were old and new grudges.

Under this circumstance, it would be strange not to punish them to death.

When the Confucius Mansion was raided, the government clearly announced many crimes committed by everyone in the Confucius Mansion, but many "masters" and rotten scholars still jumped out to plead for mercy, and some even asked themselves to come in to accompany them.

For these people, Mr.

Wen naturally satisfied them. desire.

Naturally, these short-sighted people also went to the labor camp.

After sending hundreds of them in, they realized that Mr.

Wen was serious, so they all became honest.

After seeing that Confucius' mansion was taken over by the government, some speculators jumped out to "criticize Confucius" and tried to take the opportunity to climb up.

Wen Desi ignored them at first, and then he published signed articles in major media, severely criticizing these speculators, calling them "morally corrupt and of bad character", and then declared: "Confucius is Confucius , Confucius’s family is Confucius’ family, and we cannot blame the sins of future generations on our ancestors.”

At the same time, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was on full fire, and domestic masters were also mobilized.

While they echoed Wen Desi, they also produced a large number of historical records of "Confucius was in chaos" and questioned whether the current Confucius family is a descendant of Confucius. .

The implication is that if they are not, then there will be one more charge of impersonation.

Finally, Wen Desi’s article on the consistency between Confucius’ thoughts and scientific socialism delivered a fatal blow.

At this time, those guys who flattered the horses were dumbfounded, and the group that danced the most happily were also sent in.

They were charged with "slander" and "spreading rumors" to accompany the gang of Confucius Mansion to contribute to society.

The cause of socialism has been further strengthened.

Those who didn't get in were completely disgraced and could no longer survive in the circle.

It was only then that everyone finally came to their senses and understood Wen Desi's attitude.

He did not want to completely destroy Confucianism, but to remove its dross, reshape and interpret it, and make it conform to the characteristics of modern civilization. and scientific socialist theory.

Many old neutral literati who had previously criticized the inspection of Confucius' mansion completely turned to Wen Desi.

For these masters, the methods of "reconstructing ancient classics" and "I annotate the Six Classics, and the Six Classics annotate me" are naturally familiar.

Soon, various articles and books on the reinterpretation of ancient classics were published one after another.

Among these works, not only those of Confucius, but also those of Mencius, Xunzi, Wang Yangming and others have been repackaged and re-released.

As for whether Confucius himself really thought so, that is not important.

Of course, not all representatives of Confucianism were promoted.

Zhu Xi was unlucky and became the target of verbal and written criticism.

On the one hand, his theory is really funny and completely incompatible with the theory of scientific socialism.

On the other hand, his own character is too inferior.

In the end, he needs to find someone to take the blame for Confucianism.

He must find someone with enough weight to take the blame, so that Confucianism can be freed from the stigma.

Everyone looked left and right, and found that Zhu Xi was the most suitable, so "Comrade Zhu, for everyone's sake, you should take the blame."

Wen Desi's attitude is very clear.

It is not cost-effective to completely overthrow things like Confucius and Confucianism that have become symbols of Chinese spirituality and Eastern culture, and will cause serious ideological confusion.

Da Tuchao had a lot of fun back then, knocking them all down and throwing them into the pit.

But after a final round, he found that there was really nothing more useful than them in terms of culture, so he had to pinch their noses and kill them.

Pick it up from the cesspit and reuse it.

With this lesson in mind, Mr.

Wen will naturally not take such a detour.

If China in this dimension wants to carry out cultural export and cultural invasion, it must first have its own cultural core.

Confucius and Confucianism are things that have been accumulated for thousands of years and perfected by countless people.

They have been recognized by the vast majority of people.

How can they be replaced so easily?

What's more, these things have a strong influence in surrounding areas.

If If you don't use them, you will lose your mind.

What the Socialist Party of Science and Technology needs to do with Confucius and Confucianism is to transform and reinterpret them to make them consistent with its own values ​​and theories.

In fact, the Socialist Party of Science and Technology was not the first to do this kind of thing.

Dong Zhongshu from the Han Dynasty was the first to do it, and then Wang Mang also did it, and there were many people including Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming, etc.

They had Some succeeded, some failed.

Of course, whether they are pro-Jie or not has nothing to do with whether their theory is correct, but only has to do with the strength of them and their supporters.

If you play this game with the strength and prestige of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, of course you can only succeed, but you can't be defeated.

This is politics.

Whether it is the ancient reform or anything else, it is a practical need.

All history is contemporary history.

However, it is not the middle-level bureaucrat like Ximen Chuixue to worry about theoretical things like these and the superstructure.

His mind is now filled with this year's food.

"Comrade Ximen, I will leave it to you to handle the autumn harvest this year."

At the regular meeting at the beginning of the month, the mayor assigned the task.

As the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, fisheries and medical and health, this month is his busiest time.

"Whether this city can achieve self-sufficiency in food depends on this year," Ximen Chuixue walked out of the office while thinking about the content of the meeting.

"Deputy Mayor Ximen, where should we go first today?"

Secretary Xiao Liu asked.

"From far to near, let's go to Dadong Island first," Ximen Chuixue said after thinking for a while.

The situation on Ryukyu Island can be seen at any time, but it is better to look at the farthest place first.

"Okay, I'll go to the mine-making director immediately to arrange the plane."

Xiao Liu hurriedly ran to the general affairs office.

Ryukyu City is an island city.

Although the land area is not large, the territory is widely separated.

From the Tokara Islands in the north to the Chongshan Islands in the south, the distance is more than 1,000 kilometers.

The Daito Islands in the east are It is more than 400 kilometers away from Naha District.

It can be said that it is the municipal administrative unit with the largest territory span in China.

For such a long distance, it is definitely not possible to rely only on cars and boats.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the management of local officials, superiors have allocated aircraft to all governments at or above the county level in Ryukyu City, and even some towns have also allocated aircraft.

In the eyes of future generations, this approach may be a bit exaggerated, but this era is different.

Today's piston-type lightweight vehicles are not expensive, not much more expensive than cars.

China is now the number one aviation power, and allocating business jets to some local governments is not a problem at all.

The city government has four business jets, a Y-1 light passenger plane that can carry 12 passengers, and a Y-5 "Hopoe" liaison aircraft that can carry 4 passengers.

The shape is similar to the 5-plane liaison aircraft of the original time and space, with a single wing.

Single engine, fixed landing gear, and two water transport Type 1 "White Xuanou" seaplanes that can carry 5 passengers.

These three types of aircraft are all light aircraft with extremely short take-off and landing distances, especially the Y-5, which can even take off within 50 meters.

There are no requirements for airports.

They can take off and land at the farm's grain drying field.

Ximen and the others are going to many islands this time.

They are taking the Water Transport Type 1 "White Xuan Ou", which is a single-wing, single-engine hull-type seaplane.

Its appearance is similar to the original British sea otter.

It has a cruising speed of 280 kilometers and a range of 1,600 kilometers. kilometer.

The Dadong Islands are composed of three islands, North Dadong Island, South Dadong Island and Okinadao Island.

The largest South Dadong Island covers an area of ​​about 30.6 square kilometers, North Dadong Island covers an area of ​​about 12.7 square kilometers, and Okinadao Island The smallest, only 1.2 square kilometers.

The three islands are all coral islands, and most of the island has accumulated seabird excrement.

These years of guano react with the lime of the coral to become "struvite", which is a very good phosphate fertilizer.

The Daito Islands were originally uninhabited islands and were not inhabited until the Meiji Era when the pioneering group entered.

After the Sino-Japanese Guichou War, the area became a Chinese territory.

The Japanese there were repatriated and then immigrated here from all over the country.

It currently belongs to Ryukyu Town, Ryukyu County in terms of administrative division.

There are only two village-level units in the Dadong Islands, one on each island, South Dadong Village and Beidadong Village.

Okidaito Island is too small to have permanent residents.

There is a meteorological observatory and a naval observation station on the island.

In 2 hours, Ximen Chuixue and his party arrived at South Dadong Island.

Although this island is not big, there are many natural lakes and swamps of different sizes on the island.

Lake Oike is the largest natural freshwater lake in the Ryukyu Islands.

These lakes are formed by accumulated rainfall.

After China took over, the lakes and swamps here were also renovated, berms were built, and the lake bottom was deepened, making it a source of domestic and production water for the residents of the island.

There are currently about 800 residents on this island, half of whom are employees of the Ryukyu Phosphate Fertilizer Company.

The struvite resources here are quite rich.

It took the Japanese in the original time and space 30 years to collect them all, even though the Ryukyu Phosphate Fertilizer Company uses a lot of machines. , the collection efficiency is much higher than them, but there are too many struvites, and it is estimated that they can still be collected for at least three more years.

"White Xuanou" stopped at the small airport on the west side of the village.

Although the Dadong Islands are remote, the government attaches great importance to them.

Both North Dadong Island and South Dadong Island have small airports that can take off and land light transport aircraft.

Of course, they can also take off and land.

Drop fighter jets or something.

"Welcome Mayor Ximen to inspect our village."

The village chief who received the notice has already greeted him at the airport.

This is a young man under 30 years old, with a strong build.

"Hello, Comrade Liu Jinbao."

Ximen Chuixue shook hands with him cordially.

Liu Jinbao is a retired non-commissioned officer of the People's Liberation Army.

After retiring, he was selected as a grassroots civil affairs cadre.

He received a year of further study at the administrative school and was assigned to work after graduation.

Here he serves as the village chief.

Liu Jinbao said: "Mayor Ximen, let's go to the village office to have a rest and drink some tea."

"Tea will be served later.

Let's go to the field to see the autumn harvest first."

Ximen Chuixue waved his hand.

He was eager to know the results now, so he was not in the mood to drink tea.

"Okay, mayor."

Liu Jinbao quickly asked the driver to bring the car over.

An off-road vehicle drove over, and Ximen Chuixue and the others got into the vehicle one after another.

Liu Jinbao also knew what his superiors were most concerned about, and immediately ordered: "Go to the 2 groups that are harvesting first.

Mayor Ximen wants to see the actual situation of sea rice":
