Article 474 Political Correctness

With the gradual decrease in the added value of land and the gradual industrialization of agriculture, the landlords of the past slowly evolved into land operators. The hidden danger of land annexation is getting smaller and smaller, but the population density of the old Kyushu has been irretrievably greatly reduced, and it is not as good as the Manchu Dynasty in the real world.

Of course, if the population of Zhuxia in the Fourteenth Republic of Penglai and other colonies is counted, the Manchu Dynasty's advantage in population size immediately dissipates. According to the same statistics of 1859, the population of the Zhuxia bloodline of the Fourteenth Republic of Penglai has reached 322.94 million, which is only tens of thousands less than the population of the old Kyushu. There is no need to count the Zhuxia bloodlines of other states, just with the population size of the Zhuxia in the Fourteenth Republic of Penglai and the old Kyushu, you can easily kill the Manchu Dynasty in seconds.

The topic returns to agriculture.

Because of the drastic land annexation, the agricultural structure of old Kyushu was very distinct. All plains or small plains that are conducive to large-scale cultivation are almost all farmers who have evolved from the landlord class; The mountains and hills adjacent to the plains were also held in the hands of the landlord class for various reasons; The high mountains and large areas of desert grasslands near the famous mountains and temples are under the unified management of the state, and most of the mountains and forests are forbidden to be developed by the people without permission. Only in the mountains that are not under the unified management of the state exist some poor yeoman farmers, who rely on the barren mountain fields that the big landlords dislike to survive.

The parents of the tenth Wei Dongsheng were such poor mountain people.

Looking around the old Kyushu, they basically belonged to the poorest and most ignorant group.

However, it is not easy to escape from the mountains.

Although compulsory education has been widely implemented, due to the terrain of the mountains, the small village where the 10th Wei Dongsheng lived was two hours away from the nearest Mengxue. That is to say, if Mengxue starts class at 9 o'clock in the morning, a primary school student like Wei Dongsheng of the 10th will have to leave at 7 o'clock and walk for two hours without panting before he can arrive at school on time. Two hours to go, two hours back, at least four hours a day to waste on the journey, which can be imagined difficult.

With such backward educational conditions, the effect is naturally very embarrassing.

The vast majority of children in the mountains have difficulty completing their education in Mongolia, and they usually get a primary school degree and then leave the mountains to work in the city. If you're lucky enough to settle in the city, eight out of ten people won't want to come back, but how many will get along? Many healthy teenagers and girls have returned to their hometowns with injuries and illnesses, and continue to continue their miserable fate in the barren land. With these counterexamples, many mountain people who can make ends meet are reluctant to go out of the mountains in search of hope.

Of course, the environment is the environment, and Wei Dongsheng is Wei Dongsheng.

The basic education that is beyond the reach of children in the mountains is just the basic skill of Wei Dongsheng. Wei Dongsheng already had the knowledge and wisdom to change his fate, and the current situation of poverty could not be difficult for him at all. Even if the inheritance is zero, Wei Dongsheng can easily reproduce the rise of the ninth generation.

In 1868, Wei Dongsheng completed the accumulation of the first pot of gold.

In 1869, Wei Dongsheng was admitted to Weihe College again.

In 1873, Wei Dongsheng successfully obtained his graduation certificate, and quickly completed the class transformation from a child in a poor mountainous area to a graduate of a prestigious university.

What's next?

The old Kyushu has been unified, and there is no need for further integration into the Earth Federation. The alliance of the Zhuxia monarchical republics with the old Kyushu Xia State as the core is like the Liu Han Dynasty outside the Qin Dynasty, which has neither the shadow of continuous war nor the restraint of the Song and Ming dynasties.

If there is a pity, perhaps only the absence of the Soviet Union.

By 1873, the military and tactical thinking of the Union of the Monarchical Republics of Zhuxia was similar to that of the First World War in the real world, but the industrial base had grown to the level of the Second World War. To put it simply, the backwardness of military and tactical thinking is purely a stagnation brought about by the peaceful order. After all, the Xia State formed by the unification of the old Kyushu was too powerful, and in terms of the conscription ratio of soldiers during the Unification War, it could even arm an unimaginable 30 million troops, who had the confidence to dare to wrestle with it? If a large-scale war suddenly breaks out, as long as there is a need on the front line, new weapons such as the sea of tanks, warships, aircraft carriers, and fighters may form a scale at any time.

The industrial base was already on the verge of World War II, but there was no sign of the birth of the Soviet Union in this time and space.

Looking at the old territory of the Soviet Union, Siberia and the Far East are the territory of the Xia Kingdom, the Ural Region and Central Asia coexist with the five states of Mongolia, and the core territory of the East is the inherent territory of the Luo State. Compared with the old Kyushu of the Xia Kingdom, Luobang is as poor as ever, but after all, it is a member of the Union of Monarchical Republics of Zhuxia, and its national economic base is far superior to that of the European countries such as Bulus, Almania, Fulangza, and Eria. Just like the complacent attitude of the middle class in front of the poor class, with the comparison of the economic gap, the people of Luobang are all envious of the richer Xia Kingdom and the old Kyushu, and they have no intention of sweeping the world with red flags.

Other states did not have the soil to give birth to the Soviet Union.

In the real world, the birth of the Soviet Union cannot be traced without getting around the First World War. If the contradictions among the European countries had not been so intense, and if the European countries had been united in devoting the resources they had spent on the First World War to suppress the Soviet Union, would there be any hope for the Soviet Union to be born? Perhaps, but the odds are certainly not high.

In this world, Wei Dongsheng unified the old Kyushu to avoid the suffering of the two world wars, and finally formed a super strong pattern of the Xia family. Xia has the strongest industrial share in the world, the largest population in the world, and a strategic location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and no one dares to challenge the world order dominated by Xia now. At the same time, the bourgeois fortress was becoming more and more powerful, and the slightest sign of the birth of the Soviet Union in a certain place would be suppressed in the cradle by the Union of Monarchical Republics of Zhuxia.

It is impossible to say whether such a result is good or bad.

To say that it is not good, it is conducive to the stability of the world order. From the nine states of Tianzhu to the five states of Tianfang, the fourteen states of Kunlun to the countries of Europa, there is no wave of national independence, and everyone lives leisurely under the world order of the alliance of the Zhuxia monarchical republics.

It is said to be good, but it has effectively stopped the historical process of the struggle between the common people and the bourgeoisie. Whether it is the old Kyushu of the Xia Kingdom or the 14th Republic of Penglai, the labor security of the working group or the middle class is miserable, which can be compared to the pictures before the First World War in the real world.

Wait, wait, just don't talk about it.

What can Wei Dongsheng do?

Wei Dongsheng felt that the Zhuxia Monarch Republic Alliance did not need to be saved by heroes for the time being, and there was no need to repeat the path of the leader of the first and ninth generations. With the restriction of prohibiting the dissemination of social and natural sciences, it would be difficult for Wei Dongsheng to establish a flawless new order even if he led the middle and upper classes to rebel and smash the old order. Now that the alliance of the Zhuxia Monarch Republic is in full swing and steadily advancing, Wei Dongsheng simply continues to be an obscure observer, with limited support for the game between the middle and lower classes and the bourgeoisie.

Considering the ban on the dissemination of social sciences and natural sciences in the Tomorrow Ring, Wei Dongsheng decisively chose to devote himself to the financial industry, which had little direct connection with industrial innovation.

Wei Dongsheng's ability is undoubted, and in just one and a half years after graduating from Wei He College, he quickly accumulated a wealth of 2.2 million Xia Yuan through fund private placement and stock investment. The per capita GDP of the old Kyushu was about 2,956 summer yuan, assuming that the per capita GDP of China in 2016 was 53,817 yuan, 2.2 million summer yuan could be simply converted into 40.05 million yuan through the proportion of wealth share. The wealth of this scale is certainly not much, but it has been able to stimulate some companies to develop the products that Wei Dongsheng wants in the form of venture capital.

And so it goes, year after year.

For decades, the Union of Zhuxia Monarchical Republics has been advancing all the way, and the Zhuxia order is the world order. Taking cultural soft power as an example, not only has the Xia language become an international standard language, but the comic books and movies of the old Kyushu can be sold all over the world without barriers, especially a group of Xia Jun Xia Min Bangguo, and the contradictions between them have almost faded to the provincial and regional conflicts of Huaguo in the real world.

At the same time, people's livelihood problems have also been alleviated due to various factors.

In 1884, the laborist group, the socialist group, and the liberal group merged to form the Guimin faction, which won the support of the middle and lower classes of the people with its ideas of "the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light", "the people are the foundation of the state, and the country is solid", and won the election of the current cabinet group with a super high proportion of votes. After the Guimin faction took charge of the cabinet, it carried out vigorous reforms and comprehensively built a set of labor security systems and social welfare systems, and the economic conditions of the people at the bottom quickly improved.

Twenty years later, in 1904, ordinary workers in the old Kyushu could easily receive an annual salary of 5,000 summer yuan. Looking around at the per capita income of the Yijun Yimin State and the Xia Junyi Minbang in Kunlun and Europa, the annual income of some Yimin natives is only a pitiful 93 Xia Yuan, and the difference between the two sides is shocking by 53 times. If there were no worries about inflation and currency depreciation, you would be able to spend a year working in the old Kyushu and enjoy a lifetime in those backward areas.

Is such a gap good?

The workers of the old Kyushu were naturally very satisfied, but the capitalists began to jump on their feet. The year 1904 marked a turning point, and the old Kyushu quietly began the process of deindustrialization, gradually shifting labor-intensive links to areas with low wage costs. At the same time, the affluent middle class is becoming more and more loving, they pity the poor material life of the indigenous people, pity the tenacity of the religious people, call on the state to actively accept refugees who have suffered various persecutions, and call on the state to fund the religious beliefs of religious believers.

Wait a minute.

In short, the real-world white-left ideology suddenly flooded the alliance of the Zhuxia monarchical republics, and the preferential treatment of religious believers and ethnic minorities quietly became politically correct. Perhaps because the economy is booming and there is no sense of crisis, all the people agree with or are indifferent to political correctness: "People admire China, and they finally fled to our country, so what happened to subsidizing them for tens of thousands of yuan a year?" ”

"The economic subsidy is to increase favor, and we don't sponsor a group of indigenous leaders to enjoy the prosperity of our country, how can we do business with them? If you treat people badly, why should people buy your products. ”

"All political problems are economic problems, and problems that can be solved with money are not problems. At least, when they are rich, they will not play suicide bombers. You say that even if there is a subsidy, it will not be stable? How can it be! I don't believe it, you are alarmist, the religious people around me are so kind that they can't be kinder. ”

"If you are not sorry for others, how can others bomb you for no reason. Life is so precious, it must be your fault that they resisted bravely. When encountering such a thing as a suicide attack, you have to reflect on it first, and if you know your mistakes, you can change it to atone for the sins of your compatriots, and redouble your kindness to those so-called murderers, so that you can truly extinguish the chain of hatred. ”
