After Shen Ge made this speech, he declared that he would vote against it.
This is the first time he has stated that he will vote against the motion proposed by Su Yonglin.
Speaking of which, I was quite nervous.
Although he knows that as long as Su Yonglin puts forward a motion, the motion will definitely be passed. With Su Yonglin's prestige and power, he can take back the power given to everyone at any time, and he can implement whatever he wants at any time.
And bear the consequences.
And many times what he does is right. Everyone sincerely believes that the policies he promotes are beneficial to the country and the people, and there is no need to oppose them.
He had never opposed a motion proposed by Su Yonglin before and supported it every time.
This time, however, he couldn't agree.
Su Yonglin wants to do too much, too fast, and the country and people will not be able to keep up.
He must stop, as the old saying goes -
Haste makes waste.
Some people looked at Shen Ge with worried and surprised eyes, seemingly surprised that he openly opposed Su Yonglin, and were worried that Su Yonglin would be angry and punish him.
They still don't know how those who openly oppose Su Yonglin will be treated.
Although Su Yonglin has the status of chairman of the Renaissance Society, he is still the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. As an emperor, he has supreme imperial power. There is no doubt about this.
The current situation is entirely due to Su Yonglin alone. Some people even think that this is Su Yonglin suppressing his desire for power and forcibly giving power to everyone. Once he can no longer suppress it, he will take back all this power.
Will it be now?
Surprisingly, Su Yonglin did not get angry or force the resolution immediately.
He still insisted on convincing everyone with reason and convinced them.
"Your worries are indeed a very important reality. I admit that the orders of parents and matchmakers are indeed a way to maintain the country's interests in times of crisis. But now, is the Ming Dynasty in a period of crisis?"
Su Yonglin asked Shen Ge in return. Shen Ge thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Although it is not a crisis period, it is definitely not a good one. The lifespan of civilians is not long, but their desire to pass on the incense remains unchanged. The population is not large, but there are many things to do, which require the support of a large population. You should know of."
"Then why not let them live longer?"
Su Yonglin looked at Shen Ge, and saw the surprise flash across Shen Ge's face.
"this……"
"You also said that this is an expedient measure, and it is the best way that people have found out to pass on to future generations when life and death is at stake. So, why can't we let them live longer and have to let them get married and have children in their teens? Leaving in a hurry at the age of thirty?"
Su Yonglin's sharp question went straight to the core of Shen Ge's question.
He really didn't expect this.
Most of the people present at the meeting had not thought of this, but after Su Yonglin made this point, they finally thought of it.
"People shouldn't just live to be thirty or forty years old and then leave in a hurry, right? They should be able to live longer, right?"
Su Yonglin looked around and said: "I found that instead of discussing whether the matchmaker's words about parents' orders are correct, we should focus on a more core issue, which is why people live so short, and furthermore, we will still return to the beginning. topic, exploitation and oppression.”
After all, everything returns to its origin, to the very beginning.
“Because of oppression and exploitation, they did not have enough food to fill their stomachs, so they starved to death. Because of oppression and exploitation, many people did not have enough clothes to keep out the cold, so they froze to death. Because of oppression and exploitation, many people had to There was no medicine to cure the disease, so they died of illness.
Also because of oppression and exploitation, many people don't get the rest and recuperation time they deserve. After finishing their farm work here, they are dragged into hard labor there, so they are exhausted to death. Moreover, because of oppression and exploitation, many people don't get what they deserve. Security was bullied by the superiors, so they died miserably! "
Su Yonglin stood up, punched the table in front of him, and said angrily: "Why are their lifespans so short? Why are they forced to follow their parents' orders and be a matchmaker? Why are they only able to do two things: farming and giving birth to children?" Things? Do I need to tell you the answer?
Why did these people who could have survived, lived to be fifty, sixty, seventy or even eighty years old, all died? Why? Is this because of their own fault? You have only been in charge for a few years, and have you completely forgotten all the hardships you have suffered? ! "
Su Yonglin's loud roar fell on everyone's ears. It was like thunder falling to the ground, exploding suddenly and going straight to the deepest part of everyone's hearts.
What was originally a helpless expedient for survival, why did it end up becoming a routine and an important and integral part of feudal patriarchy?
Aren’t the rulers discovering that the law of extreme survival in such critical moments is more conducive to their rule and more conducive to them squeezing the people’s blood and sweat to the maximum extent?
Then they dress up this simple and rough rule and spread it to every corner of the people, so that everyone can accept it, and those who don't accept it must be forced to accept it. The union of a man and a woman without the orders of parents and the words of a matchmaker is the most looked down upon. The [Wild Child] will be looked down upon even if he gives birth to a child.
In this case, under the coercion of society, who would dare to [Yehe]?
Everyone can only adapt to reality obediently.
Obviously, the feudal rulers did not want to spend their time studying how to increase people's average life span and let them live longer.
They don't think about providing conveniences to people to increase their lifespan, even if they don't even want to do it in a sustainable way.
They don't want to enlighten the people's wisdom, as long as a few people stay awake. The more smart people there are, the more power they have will be dispersed. They don't want this situation to happen.
They just want to take all the baht and use it like sand to drive the ignorant people at will so that they can indulge in lust and enjoy themselves.
They just want to use the highest efficiency to drain a person's value dry, leaving behind descendants who can inherit his continued drain, and then the person can die and not live to waste food and land resources.
So we just need to concentrate on studying the types of taxes and the methods to deceive and weaken the people.
Let people enter the ultimate cage of [fertility-production-death], supplemented by strong ideological shackles such as loyalty, filial piety, justice, etc., and imprison them layer by layer, castrating their independent personality and independent spirit as human beings, leaving behind, He is the ultimate prisoner who best serves the interests of the feudal rulers.
Do you expect these ultimate prisoners who have lost their independent personality and spirit to escape from the endless reincarnation of the dynasty?
What a joke.
It is their normal level to lead the land of China into endless reincarnations over and over again. The Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty was already the limit of what they could achieve.
Su Yonglin and his soldiers finally overthrew the rule of the Jin Kingdom and overthrew the rule of the old era. Do we still have to watch people go back to the shackles of the old era?
Or do you expect these ultimate prisoners to follow him into the era of industrial civilization?
"What needs the orders of parents and the advice of matchmakers is the rulers above others, the old country whose purpose is exploitation and oppression, not people."
Su Yonglin used this sentence as his response to Shen Ge.
Shen Ge's eyes were dull and speechless.
The entire venue was as quiet as if no one was there, and even a pin dropping would attract people's attention.
After a while, Shen Ge lowered his head and admitted his defeat.
"I was wrong."
"You're wrong, but you're also right."
Su Yonglin's answer made Shen Ge raise his head in surprise.
Su Yonglin didn't look at him, but looked around everyone.
"As Comrade Shen Ge said, it is so lazy and arrogant to suddenly establish a self-righteous law and think everything will be fine. Without supporting measures and detailed action steps, what is the use of a simple law?
It is extremely irresponsible to force people to change their marriage customs and concepts without fundamentally improving people's situation and making them more calm and comfortable in facing survival problems. In this regard, I made a mistake.
However, our direction of thinking and action cannot be changed. We must move in the direction of freedom of marriage and work tirelessly for this goal. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and the Zhao Guan family? What is the difference between the Ming Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, and the Southern Song Dynasty? "
Su Yonglin affirmed Shen Ge's objection from a policy perspective, admitted his mistake, and decided not to hastily write this provision into the Ming Law and implement it.
But he still insists that his idea is correct. It is a trend that parents and elders should not decide the marriage of their children without authorization, and it will inevitably become the consensus of people.
It's just that the current environment of the Ming Dynasty, which was inherited from the Jin Dynasty, and the current level of life expectancy and living environment, cannot afford the possible consequences of this regulation.
Therefore, before the law of freedom of marriage is implemented, the government first needs to take action to improve the social environment with practical actions, create a social environment that can cultivate human beings with independent personality and spirit, and then promote social progress.
So Su Yonglin thought about it for a while and did not initiate a motion on this provision. Instead, he initiated a motion on the rural medical bill at the central meeting in the next two days.
