"What are you looking at?" Ma Xiaoming asked behind Qi Rui's back. Because he heard the footsteps, Qi Rui was not frightened by the question behind him. He raised the book in his hand, and the name of "Dialectics of Materialism" was printed on the plain cover.

"You like to watch this too?" Ma Xiaoming became interested when he boarded.

Qi Rui was stunned, and he could hear from Ma Xiaoming's words that Ma Xiaoming was also a lover of this book. Clip the bookmark between the pages you see and close the book. Qi Rui gave Ma Xiaoming a place, "What do you think after reading it?" ”

"The Gate of Wonder." Ma Xiaoming gave the book a very high evaluation. With an object to discuss, Ma Xiaoming also sat next to Qi Rui, "The key is those few basic points, whether they are materialistic or not, whether they are dialectical." If your thoughts are idealistic, and you see the problem as mechanistic or even agnostic, it will be harmful after reading this book. ”

Qi Rui was deeply impressed by this evaluation. Especially the idealistic materialist comment, whether it is an idealist or a materialist, everyone believes what they believe. Since I have already believed in it, whether it is reality or fantasy, it will be considered to be real. This kind of speculation is based on personal experience and experience, and its sincerity is no different. In the eyes of idealists, it is possible that the insistence on those illusory imaginations is more persistent than the things that actually exist.

The two chatted for a while, and Qi Rui found out that Ma Xiaoming was really a guy who had read materialist dialectics. Ma Xiaoming has inferences about the problem, but he rarely conjectures. This sense of steadiness is even a little difficult to associate with Ma Xiaoming's sharp and profound speeches on weekdays.

After talking about the theory for a while, Qi Rui couldn't help but bring up the practical question, "I said Lao Ma, how can you think so sure that the Meiji government is unlikely to have stable food?" I can understand what you mean, but even if I understand your attitude and thinking, I still don't think it's real. ”

"I can't fully imagine something that big. However, Japan's yield per acre, as well as the current situation of Japanese agriculture that we saw during the march. Scattered land, garbage water conservancy facilities, I don't think their mu production capacity is high. I heard that you have been in North America, isn't the North American farm very good? Ma Xiaoming gave an answer.

Qi Rui nodded, "It's because the farms in North America are very powerful, so I always have a feeling." Food is not a difficult thing. I think you're right, but I always have the feeling that a little change can bring Japanese agriculture to life. It feels hard to evict it. ”

"You look like you're from the city." Ma Xiaoming smiled and teased Qi Rui. "If you've ever been to the countryside, you know it's not like that at all. I've heard that in North America, tractors, engineering equipment, improved breeds, and technology can be used vigorously. My family is in Jiangxi, and there is no such opportunity in the mountainous areas. In recent years, life in the mountainous areas has been much better, because the locals have walked a lot and have more land. Moreover, the railroad has been built a lot, and the things in the mountains can be sold. In addition, there is a deer breeding business in the mountainous area, as long as the deer does not get sick and die, it is also money to sell it. There are other animal husbandry industries suitable for mountainous areas, where life is not improved by farming at all, but by urban demand. If the city does not buy the things from the mountains, the life of the mountain people will go down immediately. ”

These truths have been taught in political classes, but now that Qi Rui has listened to the narration of comrades, he feels that he really has a feeling of sudden enlightenment. He thought for a while, and said unconfidently: "In the end, someone has to throw money into it." ”

Ma Xiaoming nodded loudly, "That's it." The more money is spent, the better the infrastructure, the higher the output, and the better the life. This is the same as the construction of our troops. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoming lowered his voice and said: "Those old-timers are good to say that they used to be bullish, and I have also been bluffed." But now that they think about it, they probably said that the abilities they have now are the abilities they had before. In fact, they were poor at that time, how could they compare with now? ”

"Uh-huh!" Qi Rui nodded again and again. The "Materialist Dialectics" he read was a Chinese version, and it did not sell difficult words, let alone play any "I think, therefore I am" artificiality. The chapter on "The present is not as good as the ancient" bluntly says that if the general productive forces of the present are not as developed as in the past, then the social level is not as good as the ancient. If the general productive forces of the present surpass those of the ancient times in an all-round way, then those who insist that the present is not as good as the ancients, out of good intentions, probably think that the people in the stage of rapid development of the productive forces are more self-motivated and inquisitive, and that the vigorous vitality of discovering and solving a large number of problems will be admired by future generations. For this view, people today really want to maintain this vigorous vitality. Other guys are basically dissatisfied with the present, and use various virtual ancient things to express their attitudes. As for the more vicious guys, they probably want to make up an authority that has been around since ancient times, and then present themselves as the successors of authority, trying to seize power in an attempt to seize power. Either it has failed shamefully, or it has become a religion. For example, the Three Semitic Cults.

Qi Rui knew that this book was written by his father's order to gather people, and he always felt very resistant. Daddy is close at hand, and it is inevitable to understand Daddy through books. Now that he admits that he doesn't understand his father's current situation at all, when he reads these books again, he finds that they unexpectedly have a very approachable style.

"In the final analysis, it's the productive forces, and the social system. Our people used the money they earned to develop productive forces, invest in infrastructure, make compulsory education compulsory, and improve social security. No matter how good or bad you do, as long as you do it consistently, you will make progress. In Japan, I don't see any willingness to invest in grassroots investment. Ma Xiaoming made a similar concluding speech.

Qi Rui sighed, he finally understood where his illusion came from. In China, the general direction of the establishment of the system is to invest in infrastructure construction in order to pursue output. So the possibilities of China's land are endless. As for Japan, since they don't have such institutional guarantees, it's useless to rely on individuals. If it was possible to change the world by relying on individuals, then Japan should have risen up a long time ago. Don't the Japanese people have the desire to pursue a happy life? Qi Rui didn't think so at all.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!" Qi Rui praised Ma Xiaoming sincerely.

"That's what you understand, too." Ma Xiaoming didn't know what he remembered, and said a little stunned.

Qi Rui has always felt that communication is a very annoying thing, and he doesn't like a group of people sitting together and bragging. What my dad is, what my family is, what I do. But this kind of boasting is basically the norm together. There aren't many opportunities for that kind of conversation to seriously see the world.

There must be a teacher for the threesome, choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Qi Rui remembered this sentence.
