Chapter 65, Anti-mosquito Campaign (2)

Zheng Sen remembers that in the era when I came to grass in all directions in China, there was a very common evaluation of our China, that is: Chinese are a plate of loose sand. www.biquge.info Many people even regard it as a defect peculiar to our nation, unwilling to sink, and want to change it, at least to give rise to the hope of healing, and those spiritual Caucasian or spiritual Yamato people will also take it as an Chinese inferior person, who must accept colonization for 300 years, or even be eliminated as a matter of course, otherwise it will be a drag on the hind legs of mankind, and it is an argument that heaven does not tolerate.

Zheng Sen also had doubts about this issue in his previous life. However, in this era, Zheng Sen gradually figured out what this problem was about. When Zheng Sen was studying in his last life, his least favorite subject was the political class, and Zheng Sen felt that the class was all fake and empty deception. However, in retrospect, Zheng Sen found more and more that this was not the case, there was indeed a lot of nonsense and nonsense in politics class, but there was also truth, and it was naked, bloody truth. For example, "the economic base determines the superstructure".

"People must first eat, drink, shelter, and clothe before they can engage in politics, science, art, religion, and so on; Therefore, the production of the direct material means of subsistence, and thus a certain stage of economic development of a nation or an era, constitutes the basis from which people's state facilities, views of law, art, and even religious concepts are developed, and must therefore be explained by this basis...... Seems to say so, right? Zheng Sen thought, "The theory that the Chinese are like a plate of loose sand is also very practical, that is, the superstructure of a plate of loose sand originates from the economic foundation of a plate of loose sand." Today, China's economy is based on the smallholder economy. The smallholder economy is a natural economy, and the need for exchange is very small, so even a small village can be basically incommunicado with the outside world. Since they have no need to interact with the outside world, they naturally have no need for unity, and they are naturally scattered! ”

Then Zheng Sen remembered the history of some other ethnic groups that he knew, and further discovered that a plate of loose sand or something is not a unique characteristic of China, and almost any ethnic group that is still in the era of small-scale peasant economy has such characteristics. Not to mention the people in Europe who "my boss's boss is not my boss, and my vassals are not my vassals", how is this not the case in Japan under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate today?

As a former science student, Zheng Sen habitually dragged out the set of knowledge in science: "A plate of loose sand is actually not highly organized, and low organization is actually too high entropy in the system." 'The entropy of an isolated system never decreases, and the entropy does not change in a reversible process and increases in an irreversible process'. To improve the degree of organization, it is necessary to reduce the entropy value in the system, and it is necessary to obtain negative entropy from outside the system, that is, to obtain energy outside the system. The reason why Europe was the first to play the industrial revolution is not necessarily because of their high IQ, but because through colonization, they constantly received resources and funds from other places, which is the energy outside the system, and this is the negative entropy outside the system. With these, the degree of organization within the system can continue to rise, and the whole country can not be scattered. Although this is not necessarily a sufficient condition for a high degree of organization, it can almost be regarded as a necessary condition for improving the degree of organization. ”

Zheng Sen feels that the current Zheng family is fully qualified to change the scattered small-scale peasant economy in Taiwan at least. Today's Zheng family can get a lot of benefits through sea trade, which is equivalent to obtaining negative entropy from outside the system. The ability to generate negative entropy from outside the system is only a necessary condition, and in order to improve the degree of organization, there must be concrete actions. Prior to this, the Zheng family's management of immigrants in Taiwan was very extensive, basically creating a set of small-scale peasant economy in Taiwan. In Zheng Sen's opinion, this is really intolerable.

"First of all, through immunization, the links between the management of Beigang and the villages will be strengthened, so that a network will be established that extends from Beigang to the villages. This is the first step in strengthening your organization. Then, in fact, we can also break the closed small-scale peasant economy by guiding those farmers to cultivate cash crops, rather than simply cultivating grain. Sugar cane, pepper, camphor, and what? It seems like...... It seems that poppies can also be used! And the money comes absolutely fast! An idea flashed through Zheng Sen's head like a spark.

"Of course, this thing must not be touched by our people, and can only be sold to others, such as Europeans, such as Arabs, or can also be secretly sold to Manchurian Tatars, which can not only poison them, but also increase their financial pressure. Well, we can advertise that this thing is a multi-purpose medicine that can treat a lot of diseases, and it can also make people less tired and more energetic. I remember that Huang Taiji's body doesn't seem to be very good, and he has a lot of things, not only thinking about how to fight with the Ming Dynasty, but also thinking about how to kill those younger brothers, and come together with the outside and the inside, plus there is a harem that received Lin Dan Khan, and there are big and small Yu'er around him, so he must often feel low energy. Maybe we can turn Huang Taiji into a big smoking gun. Then it will work up and down, and if it is not done well, it will be able to turn the Eight Banners into a new army with a knife and a gun in one hand and a cigarette gun in the other. Thinking of this, Zheng Sen couldn't help but be deeply moved by such a beautiful prospect, so much so that he completely forgot to consider how his idea would change the world.

"Crow. The history of the pill is very long, but the large-scale spread was in the mid-to-late 17th century, when the Chinese emperor Zheng Sen cultivated and dumped the drug in large quantities, and at its peak, half of the population in Europe smoked crows. Slice of the entire world market of more than seventy percent of the crows. The piece originated from the group under his control, and Taiwan became the largest crow in the world. Piece planting base. In order to strongly sell crows. film, the great emperor did not hesitate to go to war many times (against India, against Turkey, against Europe, against the Americas). As a result, many historians have called the emperor the leader of the world's largest armed drug cartel, the world's largest drug trafficker to date.

Of course, the Chinese have a different view on this, and they argue that in that era, people did not have a deep understanding of the dangers of drugs, so at that time. Tablets are still just a legal ordinary commodity, and even within China, it is completely legal.

But we also noticed that Zheng Sen was fighting crows in his own country. From cultivation to sales to use, the tax rate is very high, and the entire tax rate is as high as 5,000 to 6,000 percent. This makes the crow. The price of tablets in China has always been higher than that of gold. Therefore, it cannot be widely used. In the centuries that followed, China had the lowest percentage of drug users in the world. And for smuggling crows. piece of the act of the world's largest crow. The filmsellers, however, have enacted alarmingly harsh laws. This decree regulates in addition to any participation in the crows. In addition to the death penalty for smugglers, it is also stipulated that all the property of the offender will be confiscated. And there is no retroactive period for this judgment. This means that the government can always use the latest evidence that an item is a smuggling crow. Pieces of criminals hide their belongings' excuse to take away any belongings around their loved ones. Although the Chinese justify this policy as a 'salt monopoly'. But this does not deceive people, and the punishment for smuggling salt has never been so severe......"

While Zheng Sen was thinking about his next goal, Liu De was also following his teachings to promote a new sanitation work in the village.

"You can't leave a dead end in your work! Within the village walls, any grass that might harbor mosquitoes must be removed, and any standing water must be filled in to prevent mosquito breeding! The woods within a half-mile radius of the village should be cut down and the thatch should be burned. This scope needs to be gradually expanded. Loaches and frogs must be raised in paddy fields! It is forbidden for anyone to hunt frogs. In addition, we have set up several fire pits in the village, and every once in a while we burn some miscellaneous trees and thatch to use the smoke to repel mosquitoes. Liu De first recited the content he memorized in Beigang, and then said to Village Chief Zhang: "Village Chief, the eldest young master said that the main family will go to Java next year to buy a batch of Fanren women, and ensure that they are all in good health and can give birth." The price is also absolutely cheap, and it definitely doesn't make everyone's money. It's just that the number of people is definitely still limited, and from half a month later, the number of people who get sick in that village will be the least proportional, and that village will be able to distribute more women. In addition, the eldest prince will also go to various villages to take a look around to see how everyone's sanitation work is doing. ”

"Oh, Brother Ade, that's not fair." Village Chief Zhang immediately shouted, "Brother Ade, you see, our village is different from other villages, we are close to the forest, you see that there are all large forests over there, and they are all relying on our paddy fields. According to what you said, this fight is infected by mosquitoes in the forest, and the chance of the people in our village being infected is already greater than theirs, and this is more than the number of infected people, and we will definitely suffer! Brother Ade, I know it's not your turn to call the shots in this matter, but see if you can talk to the eldest young master, this is not good, it should be fair that our village should be one of the two top families who are sick. ”

"Village Chief Zhang, when I go back, if I still have a chance to see the eldest prince, I will talk to him." Liu De thought back to the situation when Zheng Sen taught them this, and felt that Zheng Sen didn't seem to be a difficult person to deal with, so he replied like this.

"Gee, thank you so much. Alas! Village Chief Zhang suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Brother Ade, you see that our paddy fields are close to the forest, so let's just make some messy wood nearby and light a cigarette in the field before going out to work every day, and smoke mosquitoes, maybe it can also be useful!" ”
