Chapter 2012 Blind Date Meeting ([-])
The Senate complained about Daming's "inefficiency" and "waste of resources" every three days, but now it was the turn of Daming officials to use this to criticize themselves. Du Yibin couldn't help feeling a little absurd.

Of course, Du Yibin is not surprised. Although Song Yingsheng was one of the few conscientious and responsible officials in the late Ming Dynasty, he was still an old-fashioned literati. The common people are regarded as "workers" without the ability to think independently.

This kind of arrogance of "workers" is common even in the 21st century. However, the productive forces in the 21st century are very developed and education is greatly popularized, so that many "workers" can also think about problems according to the thinking of "workers". Create a new chain of contempt.

And in the 17th century, local families like Song Yingsheng had great fame and careers, and their attitude towards ordinary people was nothing more than ignorance and stupidity.Brothers like the Song family are more or less "benevolent". If they encounter "corrupt officials" or "cruel officials", ordinary people are really worse than ants in their eyes.

Although they also know that "water can carry a boat and also overturn it", they actually have the heart of "Dayu's control of the water". How to avoid flooding.

Although I have been with myself for many days, how can the root of this old thought be dug out so easily?If it weren't for the fact that the Song family brothers were hard-working talents that were rare in the 17th century, and their character and integrity were also reliable, he would not have bothered to spend so much effort on him.Du Yibin coughed, stopped Lu Cheng and the others with his eyes, told them not to be so excited, and said kindly:
"Mr. Song's remark is inappropriate. Since ancient times, the relationship between men and women has been a big deal. Why do you make such a big deal out of a molehill?"

This sentence first comes with a golden bell, denying his "small problem".After all, continuation of the clan is the greatest human ethics and morality in the minds of the Chinese people.

Sure enough, Song Yingsheng stopped talking, and Du Yibin said again:
"Our blind date conference has been held many times in Hainan. No matter the number of participants, the venue and the scale provided are much larger than this time in Guangzhou. If it weren't for the fact that Guangzhou was not restored for a long time, many things should be prioritized. , then the first blind date meeting in Guangzhou will not be so simple and sloppy."

Du Yibin is not talking big. In terms of excitement and grandeur, not to mention the "walking" like Lingao, even Kaohsiung is much better than Guangzhou.It's all because of this "financial difficulty", and he made this blind date party shabby and shabby.

"Marriage is a major event and a happy event in life. Even in the Ming Dynasty, there are so-called two great things in life: the day of the gold list, and the wedding night in the bridal chamber. Since it is a major event and a happy event for the naturalized people, as their superiors, they choose their own for both men and women. My partner, we naturally won't just set up official media and book offices to perfunctory things.

"People have their own joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and their temperaments are also different. The people under the rule of the Senate come from all corners of the country, and their language customs are also different. An official matchmaker and a scribe are matched by name. Allow me to say something rude. , How is this different from breeding animals? The ancients also said: It is a good thing for a husband and wife to be in harmony. They are under the rule of the Senate of the Great Song Dynasty, and they have made arrangements for their life-long events. Naturally, they must be more thoughtful. Otherwise, they will not Just like those usurping officials who are full of poetry and books but are full of male robbers and female prostitutes, don’t they treat the people as human beings? Of course, Mr. Song, you don’t belong to this group, otherwise I wouldn’t persuade you to submit to me Song."

These words were mixed with guns and sticks, and Song Yingsheng choked so hard that he couldn't breathe.Although these words did not convince him, the other party obviously occupies the commanding heights of "people first", and it is not easy to refute.But now that I am a prisoner, I don't have to fight for this twists and turns.What's more, from the second half of the sentence, he knew that the Song Dynasty Senate still valued him very much-although it was a bit baffling, but it still made him a little proud-the Song brothers were elected at that time, and it was a good story in Jiangxi. However, after many years of failing in the examination, a fellow Jinshi failed to pass the examination, and had to go through the path of electing officials to become an official.Not only is his future in official career limited, but he is also inferior in officialdom.

Unexpectedly, an Australian from thousands of miles away would value his brother so much, and Song Yingsheng couldn't help but feel a sense of confidant.

"The other thing is that Mr. Song doesn't know the customs of my Song Dynasty: as Mr. Song said, it is enough for a poor worker and a good prostitute to send an official matchmaker and a scribe to match by name. The marriage of the children of the gentry officials is also a matter of parents Fate, matchmaker’s words, marriage between a man and a woman without knowing each other before they meet. We firmly oppose the custom or rules that do not consider whether the two parties know each other. What we pay attention to is that you ask me to choose voluntarily when you meet, and you must consider the choice of both men and women. , we can encourage and persuade, but we absolutely can't force the appointment, that's why we reported this blind date meeting, whether it succeeds or not, it's the choice of both parties, and if you make a choice, you have to bear various results. As for the mandatory appointment We do not advocate or support such things.”

This set of "custom theory" Song Yinsheng can't accept the truth. Although "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker" is not necessarily a golden rule, it is also a common trend in society. According to the etiquette, it is "prostitution". Ben"...

He kept silent and only listened to the old man Du Yuan talking eloquently:

"...Moreover, under the rule of the Senate, the naturalized people were only divided into high and low positions and professional titles. Whether they were county magistrates or workers, they were all naturalized people, and there was no distinction between high and low. There is a big difference, Mr. Song will gradually understand in the future." Song Yingsheng was very dissatisfied with Du Yibin's compilation of Ming Ming, and if you want to say "compilation", the two brothers of the Zhao family can be regarded as "compilation" worthy of the name.

Du Yibin was still talking eloquently, but Song Yingsheng had no intention of listening to it anymore. He had roughly understood the reason why Australians spared no expense and made a fuss out of a molehill from the old man Du's ramblings.What they want is nothing more than a publicity effect, to let the common people know the "benevolence and righteousness" of the Senate, and to lure the poor and poor people to vote.

Thinking about the journey from Enping to Guangzhou, the Australians' governance along the way is all about "putting the interests of the masses first" and buying people's hearts, especially those of the poor.Although the local situation has not been completely appeased, the public's reputation is not bad.

He could imagine how many Guangdong natives would shave their hair and become naturalized people under such small favors. Perhaps in a few years, most of the residents in Guangdong would shave their hair and become naturalized people.You can make the people "change customs" without using soldiers to move their swords and guns!Thinking of this, he became even more desperate for Daming's future, and his face became gloomy.

When the two of them were talking, Qin Ruiyu led the propagandists to randomly interview registered couples—"Yangcheng Express" wanted to publish a special issue on this matter, not only to publicize the "New Deal and New Atmosphere", but also to cooperate with the "New Life Movement" Let’s talk about new-style marriage and free love—although it’s hard to say that this government-run blind date is free love, it’s still a precedent.

Qin Ruiyu did not interview in person, but "guided" the intern reporters on the spot.

Facing the interview, it was the first time for the man to experience such a scene. Most of them were low-level workers and employees with low education and low level. I can say a few words: Thank you to the Senate, long live the Senate, and I will serve the Senate and the people better in the future, but their eyes and smiles fully express the excitement and joy in their hearts.On the contrary, the woman wanted to thank her for her words. Although the language did not conform to the usual propaganda style of the Senate, the relatively simple and colloquial answer made Elder Qin quite satisfied.It's just that at the end of the interview, the students inevitably gave another political slogan speech-all learned from Lu Cheng and other cadres.However, this also indirectly reflects their "study results", and Qin Yuan is quite satisfied.Lu Cheng naturally smiled from ear to ear.

"Okay, let's sit down one by one and let the reporter take pictures for everyone. When the big day comes, seat gifts will be given to everyone." Qin Ruiyu beckoned his subordinates to take pictures for them.I secretly regret that the Senate has not yet reproduced the technology of color photos

Now, both the students and the naturalized people were a little shy.After all, they didn't know each other yesterday, but now they have become "fiancée couple". Doesn't this photo become an "engagement"?It's like a dream!
The strangeness between men and women and the fact that they were already "engaged" made them a little shy, and they sat down on the bench in pairs under the urging and encouragement of the Guihuamin reporter.Take their "wedding photo".

"The female students who have succeeded in blind dates should all be separated separately and don't mix with other students." Du Yibin told Lu Cheng and the others, "The next thing is to wait for the specific marriage notice—you have to pay more attention to the emotions of the students. We also We have to make preparations. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if we don’t even have a wedding room.”

He was telling the truth, because most of the naturalized staff and workers transferred to Guangzhou lived in dormitories or rented houses, except for a few who bought real estate in Lingao.When I arrived in Guangzhou, I also lived in a dormitory.

To become a family, one must have a separate house - this is also a headache for Du Yibin.

Lu Cheng flushed with excitement, and nodded again and again: "I know! I must sit down on their work." She spoke with red eyes, and she said: "I'm not sad, I'm happy... I'm really happy... ..."
