"New World People's Radio, New World People's Radio, start broadcasting now." Wang Ying is now learning pure Mandarin.

She is really born with a talent for languages, and she hasn't studied with Qin Mu for a long time, and the taste of her former hometown in her accent is no longer at all. Qin Mu sometimes listens to the radio, and he feels that he has traveled through time and space and returned to the future generations - Wang Ying is at the level of a national announcer.

It's really reckless, hidden dragon and crouching tiger.

There are two most popular announcers for radio stations right now. The male is Qin Mu, and the female is Wang Ying.

"Today, the second general meeting of New World Group was officially held in Weishan Lake, and ...... people attended the meeting"

Listening to the radio every day has become a regular program for the people in the base areas. This is more punctual than workers going to work. Workers are sometimes late for some reason, but people never miss a second of the radio.

They don't know what the "New World Group" is doing or what the "Second Congress" is talking about, but it doesn't matter. Qin Mu just asked the people under his rule to have an idea of who was in charge of this land.

This congress is even more important than the first. At the first conference, everyone only had a vague idea of industry and agriculture, and everything was not yet in front of us.

But now it's different. Today, the industrial center of Weishan Lake has taken shape, and the factories, chimneys, and tall steel blast furnaces all clearly convey a clear meaning to the core figures of New World Group - the future is in our hands.

But this is already the past and the future, and all this is what Qin Mu mentioned at the last meeting. And what about later?

Now that we have such a huge strength, everyone has incomparable confidence in overthrowing the Great Song Dynasty. Look at nothing, just look at the endless steel, it is enough to crush all enemies.

Coming to this point, it is all under the leadership of Qin Mu, so with the current foundation, where do we go next?

This is a concern for everyone.

Qin Mu is going to make this issue clear at the second conference.

This is destined to cause this conference to become Qin Mu's hall of words again. Everyone just listened, and they were all eager to get Qin Mu's knowledge and clarify the future route.

"What is industry?" Qin Mu first asked a question, and then asked himself: "The steel mill, coal mine, and manufacturing center in Weishan Lake, is this industry?" ”

Isn't this industry? The whole crew was lost in thought. They thought this was industry.

"No, it's not industry, it's just a façade of industry. We, the people of the New Century Group, must learn to see the essence through phenomena. What is the essence of industry? The essence of industry is a completely new civilization. ”

What is civilization?

"Simply talking about industrial civilization is not as intuitive as comparing it with agricultural civilization." Qin Mu wrote the words "agricultural civilization" on the blackboard: "Before the emergence of our New World Group, all the civilizations in the world before could be said to be agricultural civilization. Civilization can be simply understood as the way of life of human beings. The people of this land live by cultivating the land, which is a kind of agricultural civilization and a kind of agricultural civilization. ”

"The spirit of agrarian civilization is restrained." Qin Mu wrote these two words: "A piece of land within a radius of 100 miles, and the people living on it sow and harvest according to the time of day. This land can provide them with everything they need to live. Water, food, and even medicine, are all on this land. Except for a limited number of resources, such as table salt, people don't need to get more from the outside. So his essence is to seek inward. ”

"But since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been all kinds of wars, and countries of all sizes have fought back and forth." Zhe Meifeng immediately expressed her objections.

The knowledge of the girl of the folding family is the highest in Qin Mu's harem. Although Yu Liyangui is the princess of Liao, the education level of Liaoguo is 108,000 miles worse than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

For history, the sisters of the Zhejia family know the most - they have learned this since childhood.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were a pot of porridge, and each country wanted to annex others, which obviously did not conform to the meaning of "restrained".

"Introverted is the spirit of agricultural civilization, but introverted does not mean that there will be no external conflicts. Agrarian civilization, I can make a visual analogy. This is a big tree, its nutrients come from the land under its feet, and its output is full of fruit. However, in this land, there are many large trees, and as they grow, they will oppress each other's space. This requires a war settlement. ”

The big tree is used as a metaphor for farming civilization, which makes everyone suddenly have a visual scene.

"These big trees are the large and small vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and in the end they were occupied by the largest tree of the Qin Dynasty. Since then, for more than 1,000 years, we have lived on the territory of the big tree of the Qin Dynasty. We only need to look at the Great Wall to understand this. ”

Qin Mu drew the general topography of East Asia on the blackboard with a few strokes, and then drew a long line on it.

"This is the Great Wall." Qin Mu pointed to this line and said: "We, the Han people, have been living under the protection of this wall since Qin Shi Huang. Why does the big tree of Qin Shi Huang not grow here and not like it is expanding outside? Because beyond the Great Wall, it is not suitable for the development of agricultural civilization. ”

"Beyond the Great Wall, there is a plateau, which I call the Mongolian Plateau. The land there is not suitable for farming, so our farming civilization will not expand in that direction. It is only suitable for raising cattle and sheep, so the people there have another way of life, called nomadic civilization, which is also a kind of agricultural civilization. ”

Qin Mu followed with a few strokes to draw a sketchy topographical map of China.

"In fact, our life mainly depends on these grain-producing areas, the North China Plain, the Jianghuai River Basin, the Pearl River region, and Guanzhong and Shu. This is the result of more than 1,000 years of development. The big tree of agricultural civilization, developed to the extreme, is blocked by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the west, the Mongolian Plateau to the north, the sea to the east, and the fragmented small countries to the south, the most comfortable space of this big tree has been laid by Qin Shi Huang. ”

Qin Mu couldn't help but express his sincere admiration for his ancestors.

An emperor through the ages, worthy of his name!

"Since Emperor Qin, all dynasties have used the Great Wall as the boundary, not without reason. This is determined by the nature of agrarian civilization. And Qin Shi Huang's eloquence lies roughly in this. He spent countless manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall, which can be said to be meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future. To this day, the descendants of this land still enjoy his legacy. ”

After listening to Qin Mu's explanation, everyone really realized the greatness of Qin Shi Huang. It turned out that he had long understood this truth, so he repaired the Great Wall early and enclosed all the land that was most suitable for farming.

"The Great Wall was built to defend against nomadic civilizations. The essence of nomadic civilization is to hang out. They don't have a clear destination, today they are in a good mood and run to the east, and tomorrow they are in a bad mood and they are going west to wander. They have to go around, because the animals have to graze, but they can't eat in one place. ”

Qin Mu's words caused a burst of laughter.

"In primitive technological conditions, they must be so. Because it is impossible for them to predict where there is more grass and where there is less grass. Wherever you go, who you see robbing whom, this is the essence of loitering. Because the land they live in is not enough to support their lives. There was water, there was meat, but they lacked necessities. The development of daily necessities is the result of the development of handicrafts. Only in agricultural civilization can there be handicrafts, and it is good to enjoy the shade with the back of the big tree. Sitting in the shade of a tree makes all sorts of beautiful things. ”

"And what about the nomads? They did not have a permanent home, so they could not produce handicraft workshops. So that they have to grab. And the robbery has a clear direction, that is, to the south! To the south, there is an agrarian civilization with abundant handicraft products. ”

Hearing this, everyone's worship of Qin Shi Huang deepened. It's not just about enclosing land, it's about building walls. No wonder the Great Wall is called "Cheng", it turns out that this is really a huge city wall.

The Great Wall actually protected the agrarian civilization as a city.

"The war of nomadic civilization against agrarian civilization is inevitable. They must rob it, so even if the big tree of farming does not want to expand anymore, the hungry wolf of nomadism will still come, which is not subject to personal will, this is the objective law of the development of things. ”

"Therefore, Meng Tian and Huo Qubing fought the Huns, Li Jing fought the Turks, and now the Great Song Dynasty fights the Khitan, all of which are in the same vein."

Speaking of this, Qin Mu couldn't help but look at Yu Liyan. I don't know if this incident will affect her.

But fortunately, Yu Liyan's face did not change, and he was still listening to Qin Mu's speech seriously.

Qin Mu is too underestimated Yu Liyan. As the princess of Liao, Yu Liyan's vision is by no means so small. Her own country is gone, and she now takes Qin Mu as her country, and all farming and nomadism are agricultural civilizations, and they are all civilizations of the past. Now, it's up to industrial civilization.

Yu Liyan wants to be the master of industrial civilization!

"After understanding the two agricultural civilizations, there is a contrast between our industrial civilizations. The essence of agriculture is introverted, the essence of nomadism is idling, and the essence of industrial civilization is expansion! ”

Qin Mu wrote down two big words heavily: expansion.

"If farming is a tree and nomadism is a wolf, then industrial civilization is a blood circulation system."

Qin Mu has done a lot of popular science in the New Century Group, although everyone does not know the blood circulation system as well as Fang Haoyin, but they are no strangers to this term.

"Industry needs raw materials, which are then processed in factories and finally produced into goods. The raw material is the vein, the factory is the heart, and the commodity is the artery. The essence of this system is expansion! ”

Dilate! It sounds exciting.

"The horror of industry, everyone has seen it. Take the enamel factory, for example. A handicraft workshop in the Great Song Dynasty made such an enamel basin, not to mention the enamel, that is, it took an unknown number of man-hours to make the basin alone. I'm optimistic, can I make one a day? So standardized, so sleek, so homogeneous. ”

Everyone subconsciously shook their heads. The enamel basin has become an ordinary object in the Weishan Lake base, so much so that many people are unaware of the preciousness of this thing.

If there is no such industrial system, just such an enamel basin, the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to make such a perfect basin for a month.

"But in our enamel factory, the output is several thousand pieces a day. And as long as we need it, it can be expanded to tens of thousands at any time, and if there is a need, hundreds of thousands and millions can be realized. This is the terror of industrialization. An enamel factory can force the craftsmen who make pots in the handicraft industry all over the world to death. But forcing them to death is not the goal, satisfying the needs of the people of the world is the goal. Only industrialization can meet the needs of the people of the world. ”

The whole world is an enamel basin, how much money does this have to make! Jia Hongxian couldn't help but fall into the longing - the whole world is my family's enamel basin.

"But this blood circulation system, it is not a tree, the wind and rain are better, the environment is harsh and almost long, this is not the case at all! This system is sophisticated, it's insane. It needs to eat up a lot of resources, and at the same time it needs a vast market. If there are no resources, such as no coal, the factory will not be able to produce, the veins will not be able to return blood, the heart will be deflated, and people will die. If there is no market and the product cannot be sold, then the arteries will be blocked and the heart will explode. ”

"Or our enamel basins, when we have produced tens of millions of enamel basins, and there are many of them in every family in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and no one will buy them anymore? If it can't be sold, our enamel basins will quickly fill the enamel factory, and then the entire center of Weishan Lake. There are enamel basins everywhere, can we still live? So we have to open up new markets. ”

"The industrial process is to eat the raw material and spit out the product, which leads to two things. First, no matter where the raw materials are, whether they are in the land or not, we have to get them. Second, whoever wants to close the market and not let us sell their products, we have to open his door. Without raw materials we will starve, without markets we will explode. And the raw materials and markets are not only in the land under our feet, but also in the world. ”

Qin Mu said, turning around and completing the world map on the blackboard.

"Here, called Australia, has the best iron ore in the world. Its quality far exceeds that of Li Guojian. This place, called the Persian Gulf, has the best oil in the world. It's like inserting a pipe and spraying, and you don't need to drill a well. This is the place occupied by the Jin people, and there is fertile land, which is most suitable for mechanized grain cultivation. ”

Qin Mu explained to everyone one by one.

The boring geographical knowledge that used to make Qin Mu Xue, once changed its image and appeared in front of everyone's eyes as a resource, these knowledge suddenly became a large piece of fat.

Even Fang Haoyin, who has always been the calmest, can hear it with his eyes lit up, not to mention others.

"The essence of industrial civilization is expansion. If there is another industrial civilization in this world, then sooner or later we will fight. This is also not subject to human will. But we are now at the perfect time in history. There is no second industrial civilization in this world, so we are expanding unilaterally. Our footsteps will not stop at the foot of the Great Wall. Our eyes are on the whole world! ”
