Chapter 019 Dig up the roots
"Nan has been taught, and His Majesty thinks that the students will never be able to learn, and they are very distressed." But there are exceptions, Wen Nan likes to listen to Hong Tao's vernacular, because he can learn from Hong Tao's words, and he also learns with relish.
"Hahahaha...... Don't worry, didn't many people say, I'm God, you can't be jealous of a god, can you? "Thousands of clothes are not worn, especially when someone praises his high knowledge, Hong Tao will be very happy. What do you like, this is also human nature.
"By the way, as soon as you mention Wen Hao, I think of one more thing, hasn't he been figuring out the empire all the time, so I'll give him some more help. How about the cultural exchange between the empire and the Great Song Dynasty? I don't need him to probe hard, I'll send him to the door. "Hong Tao's brain is intermittent, and he usually can't remember many things, but he doesn't know when he will pop up again. Ordinary people definitely can't keep up with his rhythm, and even he doesn't know what to say in the next minute.
"Cultural exchange? Your Majesty, can you elaborate on that? "What is a cultural person, it is like Wen Nan who is very excited when he mentions the word culture.
"The nautical school is no longer fit to continue, it has fulfilled its mission. In the future, the children of the empire can go to school in Port Ma Yi and Port Kalamba. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Defence are building a regular university and a military academy in both places. After they were completed, the nautical school could become a place of cultural exchange between the empire and the Great Song Dynasty and even the surrounding countries. It is still a school, but the curriculum has changed somewhat, and the students are no longer predominantly Imperial students. Isn't it a blessing to have children from many countries go to school together and take turns to listen to lectures by scholars from other countries? ”
If you want to change a country in an all-round way, the fastest way is to use force, which is simple, crude and effective, but the cost is too high and the success rate is a little low. The second is that through economic means, the yearning for a better life is the common pursuit of people all over the world. Finally, there is one of the most thorough tricks, and that is culture. This trick cannot be used alone, it usually comes after force or economic means, like a fresh breeze, and most people can't feel it. Because human nature is like this, we always worship the strong, and then habitually think that every move of the strong is worth learning.
Now Hong Tao is about to use this big killer, although cultural aggression is slow, but it is the most thorough, can fundamentally change a country or nation. At best, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can destroy an entire nation without realizing it.
Count carefully, since the beginning of the history books, how many nations have died in the long river of history in this way, are all their people dead? No. It is their culture that has been assimilated, their minds are gone, and only a physical body is left. It can be any other nation, but it can't be the one that originally belonged to them. This method is not only vicious and extinction, but also very deceptive. You can come up with a myriad of wonderful-sounding names to confuse the people of the target country.
If you go with a knife or a gun, the other party will definitely be very wary of you; If you go with investment, people are also wary of it, for fear that you will take advantage of it; But when you bring movies, songs, plays, food, nice clothes, coffee, Christmas past, most people don't mind. Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, no one would think about the impact these things will have on themselves and future generations.
Of course, these things really didn't work much at first, but if they were combined with a strong military force and a developed economy, they would no longer be ordinary gifts, but representatives of the strong. It will make people involuntarily accept, worship, appreciate, and learn.
If the government can't control it at this time, and let this kind of thing be too much, covering every corner of life, then the culture of the country and the nation will be invaded. At this time, if you want to eliminate their side effects, you will encounter a lot of resistance, because the people are used to the existence of these things. You point to a hamburger and tell a child and his mom that it's a cultural invasion, the kid will stick his tongue out at you, and the mom will think you're crazy.
To give a very simple example, in the Tang and Song dynasties, from Southeast Asian countries to Goryeo and Japan, they were all proud to use the products and culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the high-level leaders of many countries had to consciously learn the characters of the Great Song Dynasty. If you don't have a few Chinese books at home, you dare to say that you are a cultural person? This was the unintentional cultural invasion of the Great Song Dynasty into the surrounding countries.
Here's another example that is closer to us and can be seen when we open our eyes. From the early days of reform and opening up to the 21st century, China's acceptance of Japanese, Korean, American, and European cultures is also very high. Who doesn't see the use of imported goods as a higher enjoyment? How many people enjoy foreign animation, foreign movies, TV dramas, singing and dancing, and lifestyles from the bottom of their hearts? How many people have sent their children abroad to be gilded in order to improve their children's competitiveness in society?
What does all this mean? Illustrate a sense of identity. What Hong Tao wants now is to let the people of the Great Song Dynasty have such a sense of identity with Jinhe State, as long as this thing is done, everything will be easy to do.
As for what everyone says, it doesn't matter, people who scold little Japan, Goryeo sticks, and US imperialism every day must think like this in their hearts? Facts tell us that on the contrary, the more people who scold and laugh, the more they love in their hearts. As long as they have the opportunity, they will be busy throwing themselves into the countries they have cursed, not only by themselves, but also by dragging their families with them, and even if they can't go by themselves, they will get their children over.
What does all this mean? They are duplicitous, and what they usually say is nonsense and deception? That's right, but it's just their character fuck, and there's one more important issue. Their actions show that those things are indeed more advanced, more advanced, and more worthy of pursuit. Admit it or not, it's true.
Specific to the Great Song Dynasty, can it be invaded with culture? Hong Tao's answer was 100% yes. If the Great Song Dynasty is still the original Great Song Dynasty, the country with the most developed economy, the most developed culture, and the most developed art in East Asia and South Asia, it is very difficult to invade it with culture, unless it is destroyed, and then it can be achieved after hundreds or hundreds of years of rule.
But the current Great Song Dynasty is no longer the original Great Song Dynasty, or the current world is no longer the original world. Just below the Great Song Dynasty, a richer, more powerful, more advanced, and more aggressive Jinhe State appeared. In the face of the military and economic superiority of the Jinhe Kingdom, the Great Song Dynasty was passive everywhere, so the cultural invasion was logical.
In fact, all this has already begun, since the establishment of the Strait Company, some Song people have begun to gradually get used to everything in Jinhe Kingdom. Through comparison, I confirmed that it was better than my previous life, and then I opened my mind and began to accept it. As for whether these things are good or bad, and what the deeper meaning is, these people don't think about it. They shouldn't think about it, as ordinary people, who would think about these things? Whatever is good for them, they will naturally accept. At this time, it is not the common people who should come forward to think, draw conclusions, and find ways to solve problems, but the government and the imperial court.
It's a pity that neither the Great Song Dynasty nor the governments of those European countries understand these things, or they don't realize them. In front of Hong Tao, they are two fools in many things, they can be blinded as much as they want, and you have to laugh and praise me for being righteous after you are blinded, this is the gap between the times, and it has nothing to do with people's IQ. Hong Tao is using the theories that the entire human race has summarized through hundreds of years to deal with people hundreds of years ago, which in itself is unfair.
This time, Hong Tao was no longer satisfied with just influencing the maritime merchants and the people around them, he wanted to directly attack the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and the target was directly aimed at the scholar class. Aren't you the elite of the country? Then I will influence you first, as long as I convince some of you, the foundation of this country will be shaky. Then without having to work their own, these elites will fight internally, and no matter who wins or loses in the end, they are actually considered successful. Once this effect is formed, it is difficult to eliminate it all at once.
If you want to attack the scholar class of the Great Song Dynasty, you must be hard enough. Although they are powerless, their minds are strong, and ordinary swords cannot pierce their defenses, and they don't even have a chance to touch their minds, let alone get them to agree with their ideas.
Does Hong Tao have such a powerful weapon in his hand? The answer is also yes. Don't forget, in front of Hong Tao's title of emperor, there is also a principal, this title is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, even in the scholar class, it is a very respectable existence. This is not a self-appointed principal, ask every graduate of the nautical school, whether it is a regular student or a substitute trainee, who has not listened to the principal's class? Who dares to say that Principal Hong is not a scholar and unskilled?
Hong Tao is very confident in this, and his confidence comes from great Song scholars such as Wen Nan and Wen Hao, as well as foreign scholars such as Said and Friedrich II. He has come into contact with countless scholars and Confucians, even if it is a person like Zheng Qingzhi, he can only say that he is seriously biased, and he has to add a sentence when he is about to say: This is a very knowledgeable person!
The navigation school is Hong Tao's preset position, and he wants to use this point of knowledge in his mind that is not enough for even regular college students in later generations to have an invisible war with the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty in this institution of higher learning in the southern city of the Great Song Dynasty. Specifically, he is going to give a lecture! Emperor Hong and Principal Hong want to go out of the mountain in person, change themselves from the identity of the emperor of the empire into a culture, culture, rogue and hooligan, use the crystallization of human knowledge to satisfy his interest in playing games, and by the way, Amway his own thoughts. The purpose is to get more Wen Nan and Wen Hao, and then let them go to the Great Song Dynasty to mix, and the messier the mixing, the better, so that they can fish in troubled waters.
