Chapter 399: The Lifeblood of Culture

The bright sunshine, the countless feathery white clouds, and the blue sky look like a mirror, but it is also very happy.

When Runzhi and his party were chatting freely in the room, Zheng Xie was naturally still on the rise.

There were people present, and I only heard Zheng Xie continue:

"In fact, for these four key points, we know that the first and second major points can gradually reduce people. However, it is necessary to gradually reduce the number of these practitioners. The third major point is the focus that we need to pay the most attention to at the moment, because it can absorb a large number of services for people, which is almost unlimited, how much people need, the need for services for people will be more, so the need for manpower in this area is unlimited. This also means that we need to free more people from the first and second priorities as much as possible and work on the third priority. But don't think that after working on the third or fourth focus, then you can ignore the first and second priorities. ”

Zheng Xie seemed to feel that what he said was still very incomplete, so he continued:

"Because as long as we ensure that the first and second priorities can be carried out stably, then in fact, the third and fourth priorities are only to better realize the fundamental mission of our human beings, which is to develop culture. We know that the development of culture is the most fundamental and belongs to the fourth priority. The fourth point is the highest level of everything, which is the highest level of the whole, that is, only after the first three have been realized, they can all be done in an orderly manner. Only then can we devote as much manpower as possible to the fourth priority. This is the focus of the full development of human capabilities. Because this focus is almost unlimited, unlimited, and unlimited, it can provide countless people with the direction they need to work on. This fourth point is that there is no limit to the number of people who can participate, and as many people as there are. ”

Runzhi listened to it and felt that what Zheng Banqiao said was very reasonable, but after thinking about it seriously, there were still some doubts about some of the details, so he asked:

"What Mr. said is indeed very reasonable, but this official found that some of them are also some problems, for example, the four major points you proposed, so if we invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the third and fourth priorities, especially after the fourth major industry, then will it lead to a shortage of people engaged in the first and second priorities, resulting in people not being able to guarantee even the most basic food materials, so wouldn't some of the dangers brought to the society be very great? Or you said that you need to meet the first and second priorities, and then come and go to the third and fourth major at this time. This seems very ideal, and it makes sense. But the specific implementation, but there will be a lot of problems, especially some of them seem to be the general direction is good, but to the specific implementation, there are many, many details, what kind of effective mechanism should we use to achieve the goals you mentioned? How do you ensure that the development direction of these four key points is in line with the development direction of the whole society? Will it bring tangible benefits to many ordinary people? ”

Zheng Banqiao listened, smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and then said:

"Actually, what you think is indeed what the old man thinks about now, and indeed the old man you said has thought a lot, and it is indeed very reasonable. These are real issues that need to be considered, so how should we establish some effective mechanisms to deal with these problems? Or how to put in place some mechanism to ensure that it is effectively implemented? So the old man's opinion is like this. In fact, the direction of all human development is the direction of cultural development. The number of people who have survived almost for millions of years is innumerable and in the billions. But human beings have developed to the present, you see those ancestors, generation after generation, and the new generation from generation to generation to take over the baton of the previous generation. What is the connotation of this baton? Is it just the material wealth created by our ancestors? Maybe it's much more than that, but what is more? In fact, it is the culture left by the previous generation, that is to say, even if we destroy all the current materials, but with the culture and experience left by the previous generation, we can still create new materials and wealth that are more brilliant than the previous generation. That is to say, the meaning of human progress lies in culture, which is what everyone must know and must strive for, and the fundamental purpose of achieving the so-called territorial expansion or the so-called increase of the number of people is also to serve the development of the culture of the people. This is because the larger the land and the larger the population, the greater the security for those engaged in cultural production. This is why, since ancient times, empires have attached great importance to military affairs, because they exist in the service of culture. ”

Zheng Banqiao coughed slightly, and then continued:

In fact, what we need to know is that since ancient times, the most important thing to develop is culture, and the fundamental purpose of human development is culture, that is, culture is the lifeblood of mankind and the fundamental goal that determines the existence of all people. Anyone who deviates from the direction of cultural development and hinders the development of culture will inevitably be cursed and will eventually die without a place to bury. Since ancient times, any nation, any empire, as long as they are not dedicated to the development of culture, will eventually quickly disappear into the long river of history. The empires that have left the most culture since ancient times are often the ones that have survived the longest, and they are also the empires that have created the most material wealth. That is to say, the more material wealth is created, the more culture can be guaranteed, because culture is the highest level of material goods, just like when people eat, they can eat very little meat instead of a lot of rice, that is, rice is a high-level substitute for meat, and eating a small amount of meat can replace a lot of rice. This means that culture is the essence of human existence, and all human existence is for the service of culture, and only after the material survival is guaranteed, it will inevitably be added to the production of culture. ”

Xiaohe listened, although she said that she recognized some of the truths that Zheng Banqiao said, but she still felt very doubtful, so she asked:

"According to what you mean, if human development is only for the sake of culture, will the cultural industry be the most employed in society in the future?"

"If it's just a matter of numbers, that's very appropriate."

Zheng Xie continued calmly.
