Chapter 231: Emptying the Western World

In geography, the arrogance of civilization is most obvious, and when the civilization of the Western world occupies the mainstream of the world, the Near East, the Middle East, and the Far East become the standard for dividing the world centered on Europe. When Europe was in the Middle Ages, most of the known world and civilizations in the Old World, with the exception of East Asia, were centered on Jerusalem.

Indeed, the birthplace of the Abrahamic religions is the center of the world, and ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, Persian, Roman, and later Arab civilizations all regarded it as a vital point that must be controlled. The city was not only a center of faith, but also a concentration of the most important intellectual resources, with a concentration of well-known scholars and numerous religious figures from all over the world. As the meeting place of many of the most important civilizations of the Middle Ages, it has unique conditions for the exchange of ideas and academic innovation that are not possible in other regions.

The Nile Valley in Egypt is the breadbasket of the Western material world, while Jerusalem Cooling is the breadbasket of the Western spiritual world. This ancient city, which has endured many hardships, has now become the bridgehead and headquarters of the Chinese Empire in the West, just as Shanghai in the old society was the heart of the imperialist powers' plundering of China. All the temples and religious facilities in this ancient city are as good as ever, but they are all dressed in the garb of the Chinese Empire. Whether it is a statue of Christ or a hardcover version of the Koran, all of them were made in China, and all the buildings rebuilt after the Crusader invasion were basically built by the engineers and construction teams of the Chinese Empire with building materials that had never been heard of in the West (quick-drying cement, reinforced concrete, fly ash bricks, glazed tiles, and clear glass) almost within a month.

A large number of Chinese caravans stormed the city when Marco Polo proclaimed the Marquis of Solomon (the predecessor of the United Kingdom), wielding a large number of sought-after oriental spices, silks, ceramics, iron and steel products, and a large amount of gold, silver, and copper coins to buy all the ancient documents and artifacts in the city. Later generations of priceless papyrus documents and parchment scrolls were scarce in this land of humanities, but even the most principled scholars could not resist the temptation of an annual salary of more than 10,000 yuan, and in one Yuan of the Chinese Empire, Long Yuan could buy enough salt (the cheapest crude salt) for a year for 300 people. Jerusalem, which costs only one-twentieth the price of refined salt, is enough to pay any scholar a high salary, but it is the salary of an ordinary university teacher in the Empire.

It is not only necessary to grasp the lifeblood of the West materially, but also to cut off the inheritance of Western civilization spiritually. Whether it was a clergy who taught theology and scholasticism, or a scholar who taught 'science and technology' such as rhetoric, logic, art, music, geometry, astronomy, medicine, architecture, etc., which had been passed down from the classical era, all of them were invited to visit and study in the empire itself, and even directly hired to various universities as exchange scholars.

The three state-of-the-art universities in Jerusalem funded by the Chinese Empire also crushed all competitors with their deep pockets, and as long as they passed the entrance exam, all tuition, room and board and other expenses were waived, and they were able to take jobs after graduation. Divide house tickets and cars. As long as they can enter the top 100, the household registration of any city within the empire and Solomon is arbitrary, and low-level government positions are preferred. This treatment is heaven and hell compared to the traditional apprenticeship and the old-fashioned education of the guilds, which take years or even more than a dozen years to become a teacher.

The move wiped out all of the region's leading scholars and academic elites. In fact, except for a small number of scholars and advisers who were kept by the royal family and the aristocracy. Scholars in the Arab world were largely cut off after the Turkic blows, and the books and documents of the Baghdad Hall of Wisdom were scattered. Scholars in Mecca and Medina under Fatimid rule were barely making ends meet. The gains of the 100-year translation movement were almost wiped out after the war disaster. Ignoring education and scientific research, the Seljuks superstitious and skillful ancestral martial arts, destroyed precious knowledge and skills in large numbers, and reached the level of kindergarten in the art of centralization and domination, and developed from a nomadic tribe to a large country spanning Central and West Asia in less than a hundred years, and once the monarch died, civil strife broke out. This fragile political structure is also the result of its contempt for culture and education. Chaos and division are always the twins of ignorance and barbarism, and only the inheritance and order of civilization can ensure prosperity and strength, which is the basic law and core law of civilization. The best of Islamic civilization is the most important task that Marco Polo performed. The restoration of the Jews and the establishment of the financial order of the West are the side tasks that are at the bottom of the priority list.

You know, the most valuable thing about civilization is not land and resources. Rather, it is the foundation of civilization -- national history and thought. A nation without history is ignorant, a nation without ideas is barbaric, and such a nation will inevitably never develop and become strong. What about the Bantu people, who have millions of square kilometers of land and resources? What about the Māori Aborigines? What happened to the Indians of the dozens of tribal confederations in the Americas and the three major slave primitive states of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca empires? Why did the poor and weak Russia become the hegemon of Europe under the leadership of Peter the Great, who studied Western Europe? Why did Japan, which had become a semi-colony, become a great power after the Meiji Restoration, when it left Asia and joined Europe? Because the history of long-term marginalization and subordination has taught them to learn from the strong, and wise leaders lead them to learn more efficiently, rather than just paying tuition fees and not learning real skills.

Jerusalem is not a periphery region, and the people who control it have never been weak, it is the core of the West, and it is also the core of the hegemony of powerful nations, just as China's Huanghe alluvial fan (near Luoyang) is a land of hegemony for foreign powers. Even many princes of Japan have become overlords and have won the throne of the world, and they must be called Shangluo. This God-given land does not need to learn from the strong, and the people who master this region are themselves strong, and it is the goal that needs to be learned to catch up with the rising peoples around it.

The most important ideological source of Western civilization from the ancient Egyptian period to the Renaissance is here, and the cultural center of the classical era is here. This was where pro-Chinese ideas were spread throughout the West, and Islamic states, including the Seljuks and Fatimas, had to follow the academic thinking of Jerusalem to establish their national policies. Then calculate the time. In just one generation, the imperial courts of various countries were crammed with students graduating here. The students here alone can top a hundred of the most efficient tax collectors and an army of 10,000 men. The feudal lord who can't collect taxes invites a graduate here, and he can collect several times the tax in the past (thanks to the foreign capital attracted by the graduate's matchmaking. Mainly due to the increased wealth of Chinese investment and trade), the feudal lords who could not quell the rebellion and separatist commotion could easily quell the unrest by inviting a graduate here (the pressure from the imperial military bases and the officers in the vast network of classmates directly smashed the Yellow Dragon and beheaded the tactics to obtain the results of the war).

It was as if peace had come to this war-torn land forever.

The mighty empire is like a god, maintaining peace and prosperity through its mighty supernatural powers. Chinese became the second official language in many regions, and in Haifa, the stronghold of the pro-Chinese faction in the Eastern Mediterranean, Chinese became the first official language. The peoples here are as they used to be, and they have adopted the mother tongue of the ruling peoples of the region without any pressure, just as their ancestors have accepted Canaanite, ancient Hebrew, ancient Egyptian, Assyrian, ancient Babylonian, ancient Persian, ancient Greek, and Arabic for thousands of years. Accept and learn. Hebrew became a second language, and Latin became the language spoken by the feudal lords and clergy of the European invaders, with the exception of Han Chinese and Jews. English, French and German, which were not yet formed, became the language of trade and diplomacy as a skill for a small number of students. Arabic, which was originally used in the daily lives of the local people, has become a language rarely used in private spaces. All signs, road signs, maps, and signs were written in Chinese, Hebrew, and Latin, while Arabic largely disappeared from public spaces.

This apparent change in the material world shows the vassal nature of Solomon's kingdom. In the eyes of the pope and the great feudal lords who actually held power in the West, Marco Polo was the agent of the Chinese Empire, and in the eyes of the Chinese merchants, he was a high-ranking nobleman of the vassal rank who could become the emperor of the empire at any time, similar to the Japanese emperor who would receive his position after the merger of the two countries.

As a matter of fact. Western academic thought and material-carrying mediums throughout the classical and medieval periods were all lying in the Empire's Central Museum in just five years. In the era before Gutenberg promoted the bankruptcy of printing. Western writing is a rarity on papyrus and parchment, and the high price has led to a scarcity in quantity, both of which are very vulnerable to breakage and disintegration compared to the relatively cheap paper in China. Insects and fungi prefer protein-rich leather and fibrous sedges, while oriental paper with fibers such as lime, bamboo, rosewood, and hemp is cheaper and more durable.

The Pentenistic Ptolemaic Library of Alexandria, Egypt, which claims to have hundreds of thousands of books, may not have filled a modern elementary school library with repetitive and worthless storybooks.

The key is people, teachers and students who pass on this knowledge and mindset.

There's no better way to grasp people's hearts than from a young age. Starting from the school, start from the environment formed by the three views. This is a well-known truth. It is also the core law of assimilation. Whether it is the study of students from Japan and South Korea to China in ancient times or the enslavement education in modern Japan, whether it is passive or active, assimilation that cannot be achieved is a failure. Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" and said: "Yi Di into China, then China, China into Yi Di, then Yi Di", that is to say, Yi Di to the Central Plains, accustomed to Chinese culture and customs, they became Huaxia, and if the Central Plains Huaxia people entered the remote areas, accustomed to Yi Di's cultural customs, they became Yi Di, whether Yi Di or Huaxia is not in the bloodline, but in the culture used, that is to say, the debate of Hua Yi is not a difference in blood but a cultural difference.

Mencius inherited Confucius's concept of ethnic distinction, and further put forward the "Chinese holy king without seed theory", believing that any nation in China as long as he has ambition and talent, can rule China and become the orthodox holy king, he said: "Shun was born in Zhufeng, moved to Negative Xia, died in Mingtiao, Dongyi people, King Wen was born in Qizhou, died in Ying, and Xiyi people also." More emphasis is placed on "changing with China", opposing "changing with Yi" here means "changing", that is, using the Chinese cultural etiquette system to change the cultural etiquette system of the four Yi, and the people of the Quartet are included in the Chinese culture, turning "Yi" into "Hua". That is, advocating national assimilation and integration.

The difference between the Huayi and the Siyi is not a difference in blood, but a cultural difference. Originally, it was a barbarian ethnic group of Yidirong, and in the process of contact with the Huaxia people, they used the Chinese cultural etiquette system. In order to identify with the Huaxia people, they will transform into the Huaxia people, which is from "Yi" to "Hua"; Originally, because of the remote location in the Quartet, they did not interact with the Central Plains Zhuxia, and they used the cultural etiquette system of Zhuyidi, so they would be excluded from the list of Zhuxia and would not be treated as the Huaxia people. This is the change from "Hua" to "Yi". Therefore, no matter whether the bloodline is originally "Hua" or "Yi", as long as you practice the etiquette of the Huaxia people, you can become Zhuxia; As long as the etiquette of the Chinese people is abandoned. It can be classified as "Yi".

Looking at the meaning of "Hua", "Xia" and "Yi" in the previous section and the ethnic characteristics and differences between the Huaxia and Yi Dirongman, it can be seen that the difference between the Huaxia and other non-Huaxia people is actually based on culture, not by blood. The Quartet is also a nation!

Nation is defined as "having the same territory." A common language, a common economic life and a common psychological quality expressed in a common culture. "Observing the history of the formation of the nation, the first condition for the formation of the nation is the disintegration of the clan linked by blood (blood) relationship, so the fundamental nature of the nation is culture, and the essence of the "Huayi debate" is the debate between different nationalities about the high and low culture, and the debate of non-blood.

This advanced concept of nationality allows the Han nationality to have a thousand times more assimilation ability than other ethnic groups, and is more advanced than other ethnic groups based on the backward ideology of clan lineage in primitive society, so that a little bit can maintain a lower ruling cost than other ethnic groups, rule a wider area for a longer time, and greatly improve the possibility of success in expansion.

This kind of ideological leadership is the soul of the nation's leadership. The most nostalgic classical era in the West is not the wealthy, prosperous, and highly centralized ancient Egypt, nor the ancient Greece of scientific and democratic city-states. Rather, it was the ancient Rome that allowed foreign chieftains and low-level poor people who worked hard to fight for their country and gain military merits to become citizens and even senators. This mentality and system of the ruling class being open to the outside world is the foundation for Rome to absorb talents, gain recognition and cohesion.

When the Zhou Dynasty divided the foreign surnames of the heroes as the princes, the Chinese civilization really went out of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River alluvial fan where it was located, and really expanded its sphere of influence to the eastern coast and the Yangtze River basin. Centralization has become a minor trouble after the top three emperors in attention.

Therefore, when running assimilation education, it is necessary to open up the channels for immigrants and rises, to invest in the entrapment of elites, to make a posture of a thousand gold and horses, and to use China's most advantageous force, the population, to buy, tolerate, assimilate, and absorb the middle and upper class elites of these nationalities through marriage, promotion, and wealth, so that those people at the bottom can only be obediently sinicized.

After all, if you empty their treasure troves in the true sense of the word, and give them a bowl of rice to eat, they will naturally become obedient people. This kind of desperate plan can be said to be used by countries all the time, and there are thousands of methods, but the core is just that. Look at which country in the world today is the strongest assimilation ability, which country is the most powerful, and you will understand the magic weapon of success.

Emptying out the best of the West has always been a dream that traversed the hopes of the public, and now, it can be said that the plundering talent plan of the West has come to a perfect conclusion, and the three schools can accommodate a total of 30,000 teachers and students, and at this time, all civilized people in the Western world can recite the contents of the Bible are no more than this number.

In Europe, Central Asia, West Asia, and North Africa, where more than 99.9 per cent of the population does not have the ability to match listening, speaking, reading, and writing, illiteracy and illiteracy, in the traditional sense, illiterate and non-illiterate, either wealthy Jews or high-ranking clergy. The feudal lords, who really held military power and political power, had to lose out to experienced and theoretically sound professional tax collectors and clergy in the essential work of governing the country and fighting for power and profit.

These people would not have given up their status and privileges to submit to the Empire, but after seeing Marco Polo's success, they turned into positive defectors. Freedom of religious belief and a liberal cultural environment have removed the last psychological defense in their hearts, and the huge salaries and unimaginable truths attract these moth-like literati like firelight. The high-level accommodation environment, the medical care team are all famous masters, there are many entertainment and athletic projects, the freedom of the community, and the most important thing is that the level of teaching facilities and content progress that can be said to be the same as that of the country is the open, generous, selfless and domineering that all the foreign scholars who know the latest fields of scientific research and education that are open to the empire. (The information that can be disclosed has only reached the level of water conservancy machinery before the industrial revolution, and the information that cannot be disclosed is almost reaching the modern level, and the part that can be disclosed is enough to shock scholars from other countries, and this casual public attitude of not being afraid of being learned and overtaken by backward countries has impressed many diehards.)

The extinction civilization trilogy is the favorite of the public, the first step, economic control is an easy specialty, the second part of cultural integration is also completed, and the third part is ethnic integration. Mixing and marriage are the most radical ways to fundamentally dissolve the future of a nation. There have also been cases where the ethnic integration of the minority with the majority has also occurred, that is, the men of the advanced civilization have married the women of the backward civilization, and the aborigines, who occupy the majority through the rule of the new ethnic race of mixed blood, can soon change the face of the region. In the case of Spanish Portuguese domination in Latin America, for example, the descendants of mixed race are still Europeanized civilizations and beliefs, and in fact they are completely different from the indigenous peoples.
