Chapter 876: Slow Life
The dispute between Ang Lee and Li Xiaolu is more caused by different cognitive scopes, and it is relatively simple to count, and there is no dark conspiracy, while many differences caused by religion and politics hide huge conspiracies and many dirty interests behind them.
Sometimes it makes no sense to insist on some frivolous principles, but if you don't, the enormous wealth that this interest group maintains, and the prestige that makes the people unconditionally obey, will be lost, and their small group will suffer a huge blow, so they must maintain this persistence even at a terrible cost.
Because no matter how great the losses of the people are, the interests and supremacy of this small group cannot be shaken, and if they do not insist, the people can live a peaceful life, but the interests of this small group cannot be guaranteed.
For example, the struggle between Shiites and Sunnis has lasted for more than a thousand years, and the people of different factions have been fighting together incessantly, causing countless bloody conflicts, and a large number of political groups have emerged, walking on the road of leading the people of different factions, and using the weapon of the state to constantly promote that they are correct, while the factions that insist on other perceptions are ignorant infidels, thus constantly deepening the people's misunderstanding of people of different factions, and then causing irreconcilable contradictions. It has also caused huge internal friction in the entire Arab world.
As for the huge internal friction in the Arab world, how much damage has been caused to these countries, it is estimated that no one can calculate clearly, but this loss will certainly not be less, more than 1,000 years of internal friction, the loss caused to a world will certainly not be small, and these internal friction will continue to exist, and it seems that it will never stop.
In order to stop this endless internal strife, one faction must stand up and admit its mistakes, or either side will not stick to the so-called principles and cancel the hostility between them.
But this idea is too naΓ―ve, because it will seriously offend the interests of the top leaders of the two factions, who have already instilled in the people the principles they adhere to and have been affirmed by the people, and if they are rashly overthrown, not only will the top leaders lose face, but at the same time, it will also shake the ruling foundation of these top leaders, which will lead to the collapse of the regime, and once the regime falls, the interests of these top leaders cannot be guaranteed.
Another is the French Revolution, which replaced the monarchy with a republic, which seriously violated the interests of the monarchs of the surrounding countries, if the people in their country also learned from France to carry out the Great Revolution and overthrow the monarch, then these powerful monarchs are not going to lose everything, so these emperors are desperate to stop France and want to jointly stifle the development of the republic.
In addition, there were many sects in ancient times, which had their own set of theoretical systems, and these theoretical systems were supported by all believers, so that the status of their sects was always very high, and they could always get huge benefits, but some people found that this set of theories was wrong, and gave very convincing examples, so that the religious people had doubts about the sect, and this would inevitably shake the interests of the sect, so the person who dared to question the theory of the sect was brutally executed, and the death was quite tragic, Burned to death by fire.
Arguments between ordinary people are often caused by differences in cognition, and they will not pursue who is right and who is wrong excessively, even if they earn a red face, there will not be much harm, and there is no conflict of interest.
The controversy between religion and political groups is much more serious, and it is easy not to admit defeat, and even if it causes huge losses to the country and the people, it will absolutely not admit defeat, otherwise, the interests of this interest group will not be guaranteed.
In the struggle between the two groups in later generations of China, one of the groups retreated to a small island, at this time, if they can take into account the overall situation and choose to surrender, the whole of China will be able to obtain complete unity, but in this way, the interests of themselves and a large group of people represented behind them can not be guaranteed, and for the interests of their own small group, they will never surrender, even if they cause the division of the entire Chinese Empire, in the eyes of the interest group, their own interests are the most important, The interests of the state and the nation can only be ranked slightly lower.
If there are interest groups without conscience, they will only consider their own interests, and they will not blink an eye if they can obtain huge benefits and let them betray the interests of the motherland and the people.
It is not only a nation that can have traitors, every country and nation has traitors, and as long as they harm the interests of the country for their own interests, they can be defined as traitors, which shows how huge the number of traitors is.
In later generations, many indignant young people in China complained that there were too many traitors in China, and it was simply a big traitor country, but the rest of the countries were also like this, and the situation was similar, and even, many allies would stumble each other because of different interests.
To take the simplest of interests, Britain and the United States are quasi-alliances, and when Britain is suffering, the merchants of their allies are still constantly delivering a steady stream of energy supplies to his enemies for the war. Of course, it's to make money, because you can make money by selling goods, so of course you have to sell them, and as for what these goods are used for, they only think about making money, so they don't think so much?
When China was invaded by the Japanese in later generations, the Western powers that sympathized with and supported us, while supporting us, also sold more and more war resources to the Japanese invaders, if it were not for the Western powers to sell the most important strategic resources to the Japanese invaders, the Japanese would have been completely incapable of invading China, and all their advanced weapons would become waste, but for their personal interests, these businessmen did not hesitate to sell war materials to the Chinese invaders.
As for how huge the disaster these resources will bring to Huaxia after they reach the hands of the invaders, they don't think about it, all they care about is how much money they can earn and how much they can gain, as for the strategic materials they sell, how much damage they have caused to the Huaxia Empire, they don't think about it, after all, the free world advocates the supremacy of interests, and for the sake of interests, they can make any dirty deals.
Therefore, when Ang Lee thinks of some people in later generations touting the great powers of the West, he will feel very disgusted, their prosperity is completely based on the suffering of others, if it were not for the primitive accumulation of sin they have, how could they live such a comfortable life now, boasting that the people of the West are shameless people, they only see the civilization of Westerners, but they do not see how many bad things these people have done before, so that other nations have suffered as many disasters.
Li Xiaolu naturally can't talk about Ang Lee, but she doesn't want to go against her heart and deliberately curry favor with Ang Lee, and even thinks that Ang Lee is joking with her, after all, the morning star is in front of her, and it looks the size of an egg, no matter who you are, you won't imagine it as an object as big as the earth.
Not to mention that Li Xiaolu is unacceptable to this matter, when Li Ang came into contact with astronomy in his previous life, it was also a little difficult to accept, because the moon and stars he usually sees are too small, even if they are far away, they shouldn't be so big! After in-depth contact, I slowly understood the charm of astronomy, and began to believe in science, believing that the stars in the sky are much bigger than we know.
"Li Shilang, let's not talk about this, let's watch the sunrise carefully! The last time I watched the sunrise from the sea, it was when I was very young, and I was lying on the small gap at the bottom of the cabin and looking out, and many years have passed. β
Li Xiaolu didn't want to think about astronomy anymore, after all, her cognition caused her to be unable to accept such a thing anyway, so it was better to instinctively avoid it, compared with boring astronomy, she still preferred to see more intuitive beautiful scenery, such as the sunrise on the sea, which was a beautiful scenery that fascinated her.
"Okay, let's stop talking about these unhappy things, let's take a good look at the scenery!"
Ang Lee is also a person who understands romance, if all the astronomical knowledge is popularized, then, there will be no chance to make up stories in the future, how interesting it is to listen to the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but if you understand that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are huge fireballs, then you will completely lose the romantic mood, and it will become quite uninteresting.
Therefore, people sometimes know too much, but it is not necessarily a good thing, because the more you know, the clearer you look at things, the easier it is to see a lot of disharmony, and confusion is sometimes a good thing, at least, confusion is more beneficial to people's bodies.
For example, if there are only a few pimples on a person's face, it doesn't make a big deal to give people, but if a person who has studied microscopy, he will know that there are countless mites on these young beans, densely lying on the face, and the meals they usually eat are also full of a large number of bacteria and disgusting little bugs.
There is also a very painful reality, that is, human life is only once for everyone, and before the advent of this science, people believe that there will be an afterlife, even if this life and this life have suffered all, but the next life can get a rich life, in this way, people will live a very comfortable and happy life, after knowing that people's life is only once, people will be anxious for quick success, will show restlessness, because life will soon disappear, of course do everything as soon as possible, to pay attention to efficiency, if it is slow, This life is over, and because there is no next life, there is no hope.
Of course, this also puts an end to some scoundrels, because some people owe debts in this life but do not intend to return them, but set the date of repayment in the next life, and wait until the next life to repay the money, but if there is no such thing as the next life, then naturally this trick cannot be used to cheat, so this science has also ruined the livelihood of some scoundrels.
Li An remembers very well that in China, where the popularization rate of science was relatively high in later generations, people were in a hurry to do everything, and they seemed to be very busy, while in another country that believed in the afterlife, the common people lived very first, which can be regarded as a slow life! It is because they believe that their lifespan is unlimited, and that this life is over, and there is the next life, and the next life is over, and the next life is over, so what is there to worry about? Just take your time as a small day.
Li An stretched out his hand to hug Li Xiaolu in front of him, looking at the place where the sun was about to rise in the east, this feeling was very wonderful, and it was Ang Lee's blessing to be able to hug such a beautiful little beauty.
"Li Shilang, everything is ready, is it time to go."
A subordinate cautiously approached and asked.
Li An looked around and saw that his subordinates were indeed all ready, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." β
When his subordinates heard the order, they immediately roared and ordered the fleet to leave the northern ports of Egypt and go to Spain, thousands of miles away.
Before leaving, naturally there were Egyptian officials in charge of seeing him off, but Li An didn't like such an occasion very much, so he asked his subordinates to come forward to entertain, and he himself stayed with Li Xiaolu all the time.
With the order given, the outermost steam boat of the team began to activate, and dragged the massive transport ship out of port and into the depths of the sea.
There was a lot of noise in the transport truck, but Ang Lee had a good rest, so these noises did not make him irritable, but made him feel very comfortable, because the sound of the steam wheel was very majestic, and there was a very strong feeling when he listened to it.
"We're going to Gibraltar on the boat, aren't we happy."
Li An looked at Li Xiaolu in his arms and asked.
Li Xiaolu smiled, nodded, and said very happily: "I have never been so happy in my life, I have been away from my hometown for so many years, I don't know what my hometown has become, I really want to fly to my hometown immediately!" β
After saying that, the longing on his face seems to be really homesick.
Li An smiled and said, "Don't worry! Your wish will soon come true, and in ten days and half a month at most, our fleet will be able to arrive in Gibraltar, arrive in your hometown, and then you will be able to see what your hometown has become. β
"Well, though, we should watch the sunrise now, and it's the first time I've sat on such a beautiful deck to watch the sunrise?"
Li Xiaolu said excitedly.
Although, after learning dance skills, Li Xiaolu's life has become much better, and it is not without the opportunity to watch the sunrise, but because of the restrictions of others, most of them can only watch the sunrise in a limited area, that is, the upstairs of the dance hall to watch the sunrise.
