Chapter 216: Revitalizing the Five Techniques

The most advanced rifle - the Chinese Type 09 rifle.

The cheapest submachine gun - the Chinese Type 14 submachine gun.

There are also light machine guns, heavy machine guns, shotguns and other firearms, and China's East China Army has the most advanced firearms in the world.

At the same time, there are fierce fire support weapons such as mortars and rapid-fire guns, and there are also 125mm howitzers with good surnames, which have advantages over howitzers of the same caliber in terms of rate of fire and range, and the weight is not so high.

At this time, these weapons have been independently manufactured by military factories, especially in terms of artillery, and China's military factories have been able to produce advanced artillery.

Faced with these dazzling array of advanced weapons and the threat of German forces in Africa, Britain began to put aside some of the army's stubborn dogmas on the use of weapons, and tried to purchase a large number of these individual combat weapons and heavy weapons.

South Africa was so important to the British, just as the Americas were to the Spaniards, the Americas were where the Spaniards mined gold and silver, and South Africa was the place where the British mined gold.

Every year, the gold mined from South Africa reaches about 500 tons, there are 5,000 tons in ten years, and there are 10,000 tons in 20 years, and South Africa occupies the main force of gold mining in the world for more than 120 years, and the highest output period is 1970, reaching 1,000 tons.

At the same time, South Africa also has a large number of diamonds, as well as some other minerals, and the annual profits generated by Britain in South Africa are as high as more than 80 million pounds, which is 800 million pounds in ten years, and 800 million pounds are invested in order to keep South Africa.

At the beginning of the year, Britain placed an arms order totaling 800 million pounds with the East China Political Axe, but by this time the pound had already begun to depreciate.

Most of the arms were ordered for the British army in South Africa, and it was clear that Britain was going to spend a lot of money on the African side.

After all, the war was a war of opportunism for Britain, because Britain needed to contain Germany's momentum in order to maintain their position as the world's leader.

The war took place in France and Belgium, not in Britain itself, so although Britain was eager to win the war in Europe, Britain obviously did not want to take South Africa into it.

As a result, Britain's power began to tilt toward South Africa, and Britain's 2 billion Renaissance coin loan from East China was a boost in the war, plus some loans from the United States, which was enough to support it.

At the beginning of the year, the provinces of East China once again entered the midst of vigorous large-scale construction and production.

The first thing that was built in the provinces where there was no industry was infrastructure, railways, roads, waterways, plus some airfields, but the air force was not frequent because of the high cost. At the same time, these provinces, which have little industry, are the first to carry out agricultural reform.

When the transportation problem is solved, industry can also develop, and agriculture is the foundation to support industry, and agriculture should be developed first and then industry.

And those provinces with concentrated industries entered an even more frenzied production at the beginning of the year.

Factories work 24 hours a day without stopping, and workers work in three shifts, especially those that produce military products.

Fortunately, Xia Jun attaches great importance to environmental protection, and has emission requirements and technical support for emission reduction in factories, so it has not blackened the sky of various industrial cities, but even so, the decline in air quality is still an unavoidable problem, and it is continuing to decline.

However, compared to the United States, the situation is much better.

The skies of America's industrial cities are already smoky at this time, especially in this era, when Westerners have no restrictions on energy use emissions, and coal is the most used energy source in the United States.

Oil is still an emerging fuel, not enough to shake the status of coal, and China is a country that has not completed the first industrial revolution, so coal is not the main force in the proportion of energy, hydropower and oil are the current energy supply of the main force, although coal is also used, but generally can not be used.

This year, the East China government once again issued a regulation to increase the minimum wage for workers, from the original five yuan to seven yuan.

Such wages are still very low, and the average income of workers in the United States at this time is generally more than 20 dollars.

But at this time in China, such a salary is very high, first of all, workers in terms of welfare, do not have to bear the burden of American workers, at the same time food prices are low, CPI proportion is small, there is no worry about being a worker in China, food and clothing is not a problem at this time, children go to school is not a problem, there is no need to worry about medical care, although there are still problems in housing, but there is a lot of hope, and a large area of affordable housing has begun to be built.

For the current workers, the goal is to buy a house, a phone, a bicycle, and a tape recorder.

Many workers have already achieved this goal, going to work every day, sending their children to school, and living with material resources and no worries at all.

At this time, the workers have a higher goal, and some choose to improve their cultural level, like those young people who have not been forcibly enrolled in school, and have not enlisted in the army, then they have to rely on self-study, and whoever does not study will really be looked down upon, and the current atmosphere is like this.

When a girl's family marries, the first thing to do is whether she has culture, it doesn't matter if she is uneducated, it's okay to be willing to learn, but if you don't learn, marrying is really a problem.

In current China, as long as you are willing to learn and work, it will definitely not be bad, so in the choice of mates, female surnames generally pay attention to the man's surname.

A good surname will be happy after marriage!

However, before marriage, the political axe also conducted some training for both husband and wife, mainly to teach both parties how to deal with the relationship between husband and wife, how to make the family harmonious, and then reaffirmed the law to prohibit domestic violence and child abuse.

Although the wages of Chinese workers at this time are not as high as those in the United States, if anyone is happier, then Chinese workers must feel happier.

First of all, China has just come out of the shadow of feudal society, and the people have been living in poverty for a long time, and suddenly they are so rich in material terms, so they naturally feel extremely happy.

Secondly, in terms of material, in the provinces where development has entered the normal track, people enjoy much better material aspects than Americans in terms of diet alone, and as for other material consumption, of course, there are still many that are not as good as Americans, but those are mainly in terms of luxury, and the necessities of life seem to be more abundant than those of the United States.

At this time, East China's political axe was actively developing inland, which helped to divert the population and prevent it from being concentrated and causing social contradictions.

Too much concentration of population will lead to many social contradictions, first of all, the contradiction between the coast and the inland, the inland is depressed, and the coastal is prosperous.

In the case of carrying such a large number of people along the coast, it will cause contradictions in land resources, housing and transportation problems, and so on.

There are a lot of contradictions that extend from these aspects.

The first step of inland development is to build a central economic prosperity zone with Hubei Wuhan as the center, Hubei Wuhan is located in the middle of China, whether it is from the north and south or east and west, it is in the middle, so it can be evenly radiated to the surroundings.

In terms of transportation, Wuhan has the Yangtze River water transport, plus railway transport, road transport, is not a big problem in transportation, although compared with the coast is not so big an advantage, but located in the central part of the Wuhan advantage, and the coast does not have this advantage.

At the same time, it is the development of the southwest economic zone centered on Sichuan, but Sichuan's transportation is facing severe challenges, and transportation construction is the top priority of Sichuan's economic development.

Thus the formation of Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu as the center of the three strategic economic zones, these three economic zones present parallel lines, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu on the map of the location is almost the same latitude, and the distance between the three points is relatively average, of which Wuhan to Chengdu than Hangzhou to Wuhan distance is a little larger.

And other cities, coastal ones are not counted, after all, there are geographical advantages, not to mention the height of the strategic surname to develop, among the three strategic economic centers, Hangzhou's status is not the lowest, because Hangzhou itself is coastal, it is easy to develop, so the status of these three strategic economic centers is the lowest.

As for the economic strategic center of the North, it has not yet been decided. Because at present, the political axe of East China is facing the problem of the transfer of inland population to the coast.

This was naturally what Xia Jun was willing to see in the past, after all, his territory was in East China Province back then, but now this is not the case, Sichuan and Yunnan are all included in the jurisdiction, and the economy is naturally inclined inward.

In mid-March, after expelling Pu Yi, the East China Political Axe successively promulgated the "Thirteen Encouraging Policies for Population and Family Planning", "New Individual Income Tax Collection Law", and "Inheritance Tax Collection Law".

Population and Family Planning Incentive Policy 13 stipulates various incentive policies for having more children and having more children, and at the same time focuses on encouraging couples with excellent genes to have more children in order to improve the national genes.

The new personal income tax collection law has increased the personal income tax collection of the upper and middle classes, and also slightly increased the personal income tax of the real estate class, but not by much.

The Inheritance Tax Collection Law is aimed at the middle and upper classes, with the inheritance tax of the middle class being 10~20% and the inheritance tax of the high class being 25%~40%.

After the issuance of these three new decrees, it is time to implement them, which requires the cooperation of public opinion.

The major newspapers in Hangzhou's press circles were willing to cooperate and began to propagate such concepts as multi-birth, multi-breeding, improvement of national genes, and fairness in the coordination of social wealth.

The increase in personal income tax and the collection of inheritance tax are both conducive to the fair distribution of social wealth.

After all, for a person, the wealth obtained by his own struggle is fair, and although it is unreasonable for the heir to pay inheritance tax, it is more in line with the principle of fair distribution of social wealth.

Nothing is absolutely fair, this is the reason why many people break the jar, this kind of thinking can only be said to be extremely wrong.

Even if there is no absolute fairness, if a society wants to prosper together, it must strive to achieve relative fairness, and aim for fairness.

To put it bluntly, the current China is a combination of the politics of reading talents and the politics of Mingzhuo, Xia Jun is engaged in reading talents, but there is Mingzhu below, he is like a president who does not need to be elected and faces the problem of re-election, he can be more responsible to the people than the president of Mingzhuo country, and under the central system of the political axe in East China, he is absolutely particular about Mingzhuo.

In such a situation, the status of a businessman is said to be high, but it is absolutely impossible to control the country.

Xia Jun is not only a soldier, but also a politician, and a businessman.

Under the combination of the politics of reading talents and the politics of Mingzhuo, businessmen cannot influence national policies according to their own interests, but they can appeal, as long as the demands are reasonable, then Xia Jun can adjust the policies for them from the perspective of the nation.

Although some businessmen will appeal to the chairman, the chairman will not accept their demands, because their demands are not in the interests of the nation and the state.

After the promulgation of these decrees, it is necessary to mobilize the cooperation of all quarters in order to implement them on a large scale, and the cooperation of public opinion is the first step.

When the "Thirteen Policies for Encouraging Population and Family Planning" was promulgated, the fertility of the people in East China provinces was immediately greatly improved.

Slogans such as 'More births, more fertility, strong country', 'Glory of more births, heroic mothers', 'More people have great strength' and so on.

400 million people is indeed too small for the current China!

Moreover, this is an era of crisis, and China will suffer severe war tests in the future, all due to the expansion policy formulated by Xia Jun.

War is the only way to rejuvenate nations and nations.

Xia Jun is indeed a warmonger.

If there are only 400 million people, it is very easy to cause a lack of stamina in a war.

What made Xia Jun happy was that Sun Lutang finally came to Hangzhou on March 23, and at the same time, Sun Lutang also invited Song Shirong, the master of Song's Xingyi Boxing, Cheng Tinghua, the master of Bagua, and Hao Weizhen, a master of Tai Chi.

Sun Lutang learned Xingyi Boxing from four or five Xingyi Quan masters, and learned the "Book of Changes" gossip from Cheng Tinghua, and learned Tai Chi from Hao Weizhen in 1912.

This is also the main reason why Sun Lutang can enter the Tao with martial arts.

Since the Opium War, China's spiritual civilization system has suffered a huge impact, and its spiritual civilization has been weakened even more from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the ancient Chinese civilization has entered the most difficult period of survival.

There are also many people who believe that Chinese culture has lagged behind Western culture, and have a contemptuous or even oppositional attitude, people study Western culture more, and leave Chinese culture aside, and distort and criticize traditional culture on the basis of not understanding the culture of their ancestors.

The establishment of the Institute of Chinese Studies is to comprehensively revitalize the Datong culture that has been established in the theory of "Huang", "Yi", "Lao" and "Zhuang" in China a few years ago.

The reason why China was able to form the Datong culture is because these theories are useful and very correct, otherwise there would be no driving force for large-scale popularization.

At the same time, the establishment of the Institute of Chinese Studies also means that under the leadership of Xia Jun, China has entered a process of de-Westernization and has begun a new path with pure Orientalization as the core of development.

In order for China to dominate the world in the future, it must first have its own unique civilization, rather than completely copying the civilization of Westerners, which will only make people look down on China.

They will say, "Can China be strong without us Westerners?" ”

(How advanced is Chinese culture?) Xiaocai can only be said to be extremely advanced, but we have been declining since the Southern Song Dynasty. Some people say that Xiaocai denies that evolution is a brain-dead behavior, but there are many things that Xiaocai does not dare to explain and does not want to explain. In this novel, Xiaocai has cut out a lot of real things that people don't want to believe. But in terms of the culture left by the ancestors, I just write according to the real thing, some readers say that I am writing Xianxia, this point Xiaocai does not agree, because Xiaocai is not scribbling, the cultivation methods in the book and the strength of the monks are summarized by Xiaocai's long-term research, Xianxia is an inseparable part of Chinese culture, but there are far more than Xianxia in Chinese culture, but a combination of various branches such as outer Danshu, inner Danshu, Chinese medicine, martial arts, and mathematics. In many cases, don't jump to conclusions without research, let alone criticize these traditional cultures with a shallow understanding, because there is no right to speak without investigation and research).

Only by reviving traditional Chinese culture can Chinese truly hold their heads high.

On the premise of reviving traditional Chinese culture, it is the road to be taken in the future to absorb the success of the material civilization of the West and develop it.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Institute of Chinese Studies, it was divided into five techniques, namely: Outer Danshu (Xianjia), Inner Danshu, Martial Arts, Medical Arts, and Mathematics.

The Wai Dan technique is mainly based on the study of the Dan Jing and the alchemy experiments based on the Dan Sutra, which can be linked to medical techniques, because many pills in early China were used to treat diseases.

In the early days, the Taoists actually had the practice of refining the outer Dan and the inner Dan technique, and they were also good at medicine, martial arts, and mathematics.

Neidanshu is aimed at promoting health preservation, as far as self-cultivation and surname are concerned, many people stay in the stage of nourishing qi throughout their lives, but they can also prolong life and delay aging. If you study hard and practice hard, there is no problem in curing all diseases. Further practice to the inner dan, legend has it that it can increase the life span of two jiazi, that is, 120 years.

Martial arts coincide with Nei Dan Technique, because both methods of practicing Qi are similar. But as far as the two are concerned, Nei Dan is far easier to practice than martial arts, although there are many skills in practicing Nei Danshu, but it is not a physical work, as long as someone teaches it is not a big problem, and martial arts are different, such as practicing Tai Chi, cumbersome routines to be used skillfully, it is impossible to use them every ten years or eight years, and it is rumored that Tai Chi will not go out for ten years. However, many Neidanshu masters are also martial arts masters, and most of them practice Taijiquan.

There are also people who enter the Tao with martial arts, and Sun Lutang is like this.

If you encounter a terminally ill patient, many Chinese medicine practitioners give a book of qi practice secrets, so that the patient can practice hard for several months in an isolated secular environment, and the terminal illness will be eliminated.

Mathematics is a means of prediction, which is related to the previous schools, and "Zhou Yi" has a great relationship with Wai Danshu and martial arts. In terms of prediction, it is mainly represented by "Qimen Dunjia".

The rescue of the National Academy is also collecting talents everywhere, Chinese medicine and martial arts are simple, as soon as they are collected, there is a large group of people, and the grandmaster and famous doctors are also easy to invite, they all have to rely on the world to survive, and as soon as the East China political axe is invited, it will be a large number of people immediately.

The Outer Danshu Monks of the Immortal Family, and the Inner Danshu Monks are not easy to invite, and it still takes some effort to invite these people out of the mountain, but some of them are still very easy to invite.

Just like the ** decade of later generations, qi practitioners have come out of the mountain. Among them, people used Taoist theory to make a wheel, which belongs to the category of religion and is also the category of cults.

East China's political axe has recently recruited Chinese scholars on a large scale, and many martial artists and doctors have responded after seeing the recruitment announcement.

Sun Lutang is the dean of the martial arts academy, and after testing these martial artists who came to respond, he reported to Xia Jun: "Xingyi Quan martial artists Song Shirong and Han Muxia, Cha Boxing, elastic leg martial artist Wang Ziping, and Eagle Claw martial artist Chen Zizheng are all the strength of grandmasters. ”

"Okay." Xia Jun was overjoyed, he didn't expect to recruit a few grandmaster-level martial artists so quickly, and now the National Martial Arts League is expected to be held next year.

Soon Xia Jun went to the martial arts academy in person, met with several martial arts masters, and talked freely about his plans for the future development of martial arts.

Xia Jun's martial arts revitalization plan has been supported by the grandmasters, and in this period of drastic social change, the livelihood of martial artists has become a problem, how can we talk about revitalization? But the chairman's plan gave them hope for revitalization.

The next day, Xia Jun issued eight martial arts hall business licenses, if you want to get a martial arts hall business license, you must have some ability, there is no way for a martial artist who does not have the ability to teach apprentices to get a business license, as for how to be regarded as having the ability to teach apprentices, this has to be said by those grandmasters, so the control is extremely strict.

At the same time, Xia Jun advertised for these martial arts halls for free, some martial artists accept strict conditions for apprentices, such as Sun Lutang, in history, the requirement for his apprentices is a university degree, as well as various requirements, the result is still more than 2,000 applicants, it can be seen that its influence is high, the reason is that modern Chinese culture has not really declined, and people still generally believe in the reason for Chinese culture, although there are many international students who despise Chinese culture, such as Sun Dacang, he studied Western medicine, so he despises Chinese medicine.

These advertisements quickly aroused strong reactions, and the first day of the opening of the martial arts halls was full of young students who wanted to apprentice.

When Xia Jun visited the martial arts street in Hangzhou that day, he found that Sun Lutang's martial arts hall was the most popular, but Sun Lutang and other martial artists had a place that Xia Jun was not very satisfied with, that is, they did not recruit many children, and of course there were few children who came to apprentice.

As far as Sun Lutang's requirements are concerned, he also opened an apprentice who only accepts a college diploma, and martial arts training must start from a baby! How do dolls have a college diploma?

In the future, China will not only suppress the gringos militarily, but also convince the gringos in competition, so there must be some talents who start training martial arts from children.
