217 Public Opinion (II)
"Listeners and friends, good evening, welcome to the current affairs commentary program of Datang Central Radio, I am the host Song Baiyun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoYesterday we received a shocking news that our trading fleet was denied berth in Guangzhou, and at the same time, the Manchu government also violently smashed our office in Guangzhou and expelled our Tang nationality, and what is even more infuriating is that the Manchu Emperor's edict seriously slandered the image of our country and humiliated the dignity of our people. Today, we have specially invited our special commentator, Zhao Heitu, to comment on today's current affairs, hello Mr. Zhao. ”
"Hello host, listeners and friends."
In the recording studio of Datang Central Radio, a young female anchor and a celebrity who has emerged in the past two years are hosting a popular current affairs program in real time. It seems that Chinese people are naturally sensitive to politics, and later generations can hear high-minded talk about the current situation everywhere in car rentals, small restaurants, and even family chats. It can be said that compared with foreign people, Chinese people are more concerned about politics, which may have historical reasons, poor and weak for a hundred years people know that a strong country can make the people rich and safe, and there may also be national atmosphere reasons, a red country highly emphasizes collectivization and patriotism, so people are more concerned about these, of course, in the national character, Chinese thinking is actually quite active, but also keen to discuss.
This kind of atmosphere seems to have been brought to the Tang Dynasty with the modern public, even the Republic of China and the Ming Dynasty, which are slightly worse in this regard, find that the society is open to discussing political and current affairs, as long as they are not ill-intentioned and rumor-mongering, they are very free. So gradually they followed suit. Everyone reads books, reads newspapers, and listens to the radio. Although Datang really doesn't have much to say, everyone is also enjoying it.
Radio is a relatively expensive thing, it is two or three months of salary for many people, but many units like to use "big items" such as radios as year-end benefits, so the home radio penetration rate in Los Angeles is still very high. Datang Central is also an important media platform second only to Datang Daily.
"Mr. Zhao, according to our interview data, Qing is the country with the largest trade volume with China. Accounting for more than 70 percent of China's total trade volume, it is the key point of China's national income and government income. ”
"That's right, as we all know, a large part of China's economy is dependent on foreign trade, Datang is the first industrialized country in human history, we have a very strong production capacity, but also created a lot of wealth. However, due to the relatively small population of our country, our spending power is also limited. Therefore, foreign exports have always been an important outlet for our economy. Only when the goods we make are marketable, can our business be profitable. On the one hand, it can create national profits and taxes, so that the state can continue to promote China's infrastructure construction and improve various mechanisms, on the other hand, it can also provide labor remuneration and welfare for our workers, so that our people's living standards can be improved, and finally we can use the profits to further carry out technological research and development and promote our industrial and scientific and technological progress. Zhao Heitu recounted with a glimpse of emotion.
The female anchor interjected at the right time and said, "So, the interruption of trade between Tang and Qing may be extremely serious for my country's economy?" ”
Zhao Heitu said: "To a certain extent, the unsalable of our products will obviously affect the income of our trade, which will widely affect the income of enterprises, countries and individuals, only this time the rejected trade fleet, the value of the goods carried is as high as tens of millions of Tang Yuan, although the unsalable does not mean that the ten million Tang Yuan is lost, but it is also a trouble." ”
The female anchor continued to give full play to her advantages and said cutely: "Isn't that our economy very unfavorable, and all the listeners and friends must also be concerned about whether everyone's life and income will be affected in the future." ”
Zhao Heitu said: "I think this kind of worry is unnecessary, our country has relatively strong economic and industrial strength, and the foundation is quite thick. Although there were some twists and turns this time, our international trade company had already started to open up the French market a few years ago, and some European merchant ships came to our port for trade. Europe's consumption power is not inferior to that of the Qing Dynasty, and with the development of the European market and the North American market, the losses in the Qing trade can also be compensated. In addition, the Chinese government is good at macroeconomic regulation and control, before the development of foreign trade, many of our companies and enterprises look at some business opportunities, big and fast on some projects, although now make a lot of money, but the stamina is insufficient, and the risk is also large, by the national economic departments to carry out some appropriate regulation and control, can make our industrial structure more healthy and optimized. Well, as for the majority of listeners and friends worrying about their salaries and benefits, I don't think it's necessary. In fact, we are very clear that we Datang because of many advantages such as technology, the added value of products is relatively high, and we are used to enjoying excess profits, but it does not mean that our products will lose money after losing the Qingguo market, many companies have been very powerful after several years of accumulation, and this loss is not unbearable for enterprises, and it is unlikely that wages and benefits will not be paid to workers. ”
The female anchor let out a little contrived breath and said, "Huh, so that's the case, it seems that everyone doesn't need to worry about it." However, Mr. Zhao, this time we have suffered an unwarranted disaster, the Qing Dynasty's arrogant behavior has caused us a lot of losses, and the slander and insult to our country and the people have caused many people to be indignant, do you think that in the face of this situation, how should our country deal with it? ”
Zhao Heitu's stomach was full of drafts typed in advance, and he opened his mouth to come: "There is no doubt that this is a crude provocation, the Qing State is a barbaric, corrupt and backward country, we have also done many programs before to expose the internal problems and social realities of the Qing State, although our Tang Dynasty and the Qing State belong to compatriots, but there is no doubt that the upper echelons of the Qing State do not regard us as compatriots, and in recent years, the situation that the Qing people call us Tang Yi has intensified, This is something that the people of Datang, who have always been humble and tolerant, cannot tolerate. And the most unacceptable thing is that many Qing officials took advantage of this incident to blackmail and persecute our Tang people, which is unbearable. Although I am personally very much against violence, I can't help but feel my blood boiling in the face of such a situation, and I hope that our government and military will respond forcefully and not allow this situation to continue to happen. Datang is a dignified and powerful country, the interests of our country, the interests of the people, the dignity of the country, the dignity of the people, must be protected, the barbaric ignorance, absurd and unruly actions of the Qing State must be curbed, I think, the Qing State should be punished to a limited extent. ”
The female anchor pretended to be surprised and said, "Mr. Zhao, do you mean to advocate the use of troops against the Qing State?" ”
Zhao Heitu responded in an official manner: "We cannot rule out the use of force, and we should consider military intervention as an option." ”
"Ah, if you really use troops against the Qing Kingdom, it's really a big event. After all, the Qing State is a very powerful country. ”
Zhao Heitu immediately said: "We have pointed out many times that the Qing State looks huge, but in fact it is a strong foreign country, the country is essentially rotten, his officialdom is old and dirty, the people are full of exploitation and oppression of the lower classes, and the army is even more unusable. On the other hand, our Tang army is the most powerful army on the planet, and we have taught the imperialist British a hard lesson on the east coast not long ago, and the Qing State cannot be compared with the British in terms of organizational ability or military level. ”
The female anchor pointed out very wisely: "But the last time we fought side by side with the U.S. Continental Army, and the British also went on an expedition of laborers, this time it was us who went on an expedition, and the Qing country still had geographical advantages." ”
"Yes, if we do carry out armed intervention, we do have all kinds of difficulties, but I believe that these are not problems for our army, and we are not going to fully occupy the Qing country, but to punish the Qing country, and at the same time restore our losses, I firmly believe that our government, our army is capable of solving this problem. In addition, if we are really going to fight this war, then the government will inevitably release a huge amount of purchases, which will benefit a large number of our people. ”
The female anchor said: "So, it's a good thing to fight against Qing?" ”
"Suffice it to say, if this war can achieve its purpose, I think it will be to deter the Qing and subordinate it to the economic and political order that we have established in East Asia, and to incorporate its trade into our trade system, which will undoubtedly greatly benefit the further development of our country. Taking the Qing Dynasty as a model, the surrounding Korea, Japan and Southeast Asian countries will all know the strength of our Datang, so as to reduce our trouble in opening up trade routes and reduce our security risks. ”
