Chapter 320 If you are backward, you will be beaten, and only when you are strong can you beat people
Electricity can not only be used to light lights, but also make it convenient and comfortable to travel between cities, and even in the future, it will penetrate into every corner of life. All this is not a fantasy out of thin air, but a tomorrow that can already be seen and touched, and this tomorrow is still speeding up.
The whole phenomenon of the Ming Dynasty made the foreign envoys feel a cruel fact - they were already starting to take off, and we were still walking barefoot in the mud.
Of course not, so we must send more people, more young people to come here, learn everything about the Ming Dynasty, even if you can't fly, at least you have to take a steam locomotive, otherwise no matter how slow it is, it will be left by the Ming Dynasty far away in the ancient desert and dried up. Neighboring the Ming Dynasty, no one in the whole world can understand better than them what such backwardness means.
Once, the Ming Dynasty's Taizu warned his Ming people - backward will be beaten, then, the surrounding small countries are so much ridiculed, three hundred years later, the foreign envoys finally understood the profound meaning of this sentence in blood and tears. If you are backward, you will be beaten, and only when you are strong can you beat people!
When Meng Yue asked Wang Li about the deep meaning of taking the envoys around in this way, Wang Li told Meng Yue a simple sentence: "Use our strength and never stop telling them that they will either be conquered or come and submit." ”
Meng Yue: "I like this, between countries, there should be a little hooligan, a little scoundrel, don't come to salute before the soldiers, but the soldiers before the salute." The first salute and then the soldier must be shown to those who understand, otherwise it will be flattering and thrown to the blind, and it will be in vain!"
Although Xiao Tiantian may not be very accurate, but it is indeed very interesting, the current Da Ming, in fact, is still about salute first and then soldiers, however...... Just like Meng Yue said, there are really few people who can comprehend the spirit of the foreign countries before they salute and then warn foreign countries. Once, the ancestors who lived in the Central Plains also treated the surrounding countries with courtesy, but everyone knows what the result was.
"Our tradition should be to first be hypocritical or sincere polite and then tear it apart, but gradually, we ourselves forget that we are actually polite for the purpose of tearing. Meng Yue summed up, always feeling that he had found the theme of the next picture book - the exchanges between countries led by a few hooligans to tear apart the younger brother?
It seems that there is such a similar cartoon in modern times, Meng Yue has seen it, but he is not particularly impressed, because most of the women are scum of modern history!
That's true. ”
"Why have I been thinking so much lately, one set at a time, no, I'm not even a little short of "Wind Order". Meng Yue covered his face lightly and said to Wang Li, "Since you said before sending the envoy that you will send an embassy to the countries, when will it be, and is there an accurate time?"
Wang Li: "Let's go again in two years, I can't get away with it in the past few years, wait for me every year, wait for me every year, and when the local service is over, I can accompany me wherever I want to go every year, how about going again?"
Meng Yue: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry. ”
Wang Li: My little sweetness is really sweet.
A few days later, Master Meng returned, with the spiritual commendation and material bonus of the imperial court for the Institute of Engineering, and in terms of plumbers, the money from the household department has also reached the account of the Bozhou Yamen. Because a large part of the previous materials and labor are still owed, all the payments are in place at this time, so that not only the whole city is connected to water and electricity, but also allows the villagers of Bozhou to have a down-to-earth good year.
Yes, in the blink of an eye, it is almost October, and the New Year will be celebrated in two months. The aborigines' year always starts to prepare from October, harvesting sweet potatoes and steaming and drying them to get a dried sweet potato, boiling sugar together with wheat and sweet potatoes to make various New Year's goods, and they have to start thinking about winter clothes and storing winter food. Today's weather is as cold as a year, and this year it is even more frozen, although it is only a thin layer on the water surface, which also shows that it is an extremely cold year.
His Royal Highness King Jin, who returned to Nanjing for the Mid-Autumn Festival halfway through the Mid-Autumn Festival, went to the northwest again after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then went from the northwest to Qiaojun to continue to talk with the College of Engineering. Up and down the College of Engineering, now seeing him disgusted and headaches, King Jin not only harassed the Institute of Engineering, but also harassed Wang Li, and every day he tried to fool Wang Li to go to the northwest to be a magistrate.
Wang Li also told the truth bitterly: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to go, and it's not that I don't have the heart to help the world and the people, but because of my career in Qian County, thanks to my father-in-law and growing up in Si every year, I can take advantage of the boss to get to this point." If it weren't for my father-in-law's lobbying, the hydropower works would also be far away, and if it weren't for the drama that attracted everyone's love every year, everyone wouldn't see me close, and many things would not be easy to do. ”
It's not that he can't afford it, but at present, he can't do it on his own, so he can be as complete as he is now. It did not cause any turmoil, nor did it cause any right and wrong, and most of the villagers even tolerated it with good intentions...... It is the tolerance of the son-in-law of the whole people of the county.
King Jin: Phew, this kind of modest words, two years ago I said that I believed it, and now I say that the entire county can't agree to it.
At the beginning, Wang Li's governance was due to the merits of Master Meng and the medal of Meng Yue, but he was able to persist until now and successfully achieve the set goal, relying on no longer external objects, but Wang Li's own ability. King Jin glanced at Wang Li, it was not that he didn't know what he was thinking, it was nothing more than that Wang Li didn't care about himself, but he was reluctant to let Meng Yue endure hardships, and he was reluctant to let Master Meng and Meng Yue's father and daughter be too far apart, so he would rather attribute everything to his good father-in-law and good wife.
"Wang Zhizhou, you can't go on like this!"
"Why not?"
"You still have lofty goals, and even greater ideals waiting for you to achieve. ”
Naturally, there are lofty goals, and there are even more lofty ideals, but all lofty roads must be taken step by step, in this process, he wants to make Meng Yue's life safe everywhere, always happy: "The more ambitious the road, the more you can't go overnight, Your Highness, I want to advise you, you can't forget to be fast." It is very inappropriate to give all the family resources, and this matter, when the family has been entrusted with each other for a long time, let me convey it to His Highness. ”
It's not that King Jin doesn't know that he is too anxious, but what he sees is that everyone who lives in the northwest can't wait.
"I know that I ...... Anyway, I still try to try to move Ding, hydropower fortifications, rails have to be entrusted to the Institute of Engineering, and ask Wang Zhizhou to help me urge more, and in the coming day, I also ask Wang Zhizhou to deploy skilled hands to go to the northwest to lay hydropower fortifications. ”
"Good. ”
"Zhang thanked Wang Zhizhou here. ”
"Your Highness is serious. ”
Wang Li sent King Jin away, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, King Jin wanted to continue to stay in Qian County, and he really couldn't guarantee that the bigwigs of the College of Engineering would not go crazy together. Well, his father-in-law can't bear it, and he has been very irritable all day long for King Jin recently.
Of course, he didn't send King Jin away empty-handed, in order to make King Jin stop having trouble with the College of Engineering in the future, the College of Engineering worked together with the sages of the county to make a move to King Jin together. The king of Jin also did not see the rabbit and did not scatter the eagle, and when he saw the move to Dingce, he waved his sleeves and returned to the "journey" that belonged to him in the northwest without waving his sleeves. 21010
