Is Da Ming saved?

Faced with Fang Yizhi's question, Xu Yuanxiang's answer was: There is no help.

The stove that does not start a new set.

If we do not carry out thorough changes in the system, culture, ideology, etc., even if we forcibly extend the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty for several decades, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will eventually collapse and perish.

This is an inevitable outcome, and it is an irresistible law.

After all, there are too many internal problems and bugs in Daming, and it has long been full of holes, and there are loopholes everywhere, which can block one or two, but it is impossible to block them all.

No matter how outstanding the reformers are, even if the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is resurrected, there is only one way to rebel.

Of course, Xu Yuan didn't want to hit Fang Yizhi too much, so he just said to him: "Brother Xian, you take a look at me more, visit more, and you will find the answer to how to save Daming." ”

So after eating the hot pot.

Xu Yuan asked Fang Yizhi, Qian Chengzhi, and Sun Lin to settle down and live in the VIP guest house.

The next few days.

As the host, Xu Yuan personally accompanied him, took Fang Yizhi and the other three to visit many places in Xujiazhuang.

For example, in the biogas digester, we can see the continuous output of biogas, with a daily output of thousands of square meters, which can meet the needs of boiling water for cooking in the whole village, without cutting a pound of wood.

For example, a new granary that can hold up to 100,000 stone (equal to 6,000 tons) of grain, and there are as many as two rows of ten, fireproof, insect-proof, and rodent-proof, and the grain can be stored for up to five years.

For example, I visited the pig farm and the supporting slaughterhouse, and saw the scene where every family came to receive pork and each person shared three catties of meat for free.

On the assembly line of the cannery, I saw thin tin cans that were pressed by the machine, loaded with ingredients, and then steamed at high temperatures, so that even the most perishable foods could be stored for more than a year without changing the taste.

In the grocery factory, a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes are manually washed and crushed by machines, and then precipitated with water to turn into about 25% powder, and finally processed into bundles of vermicelli, which can be stored for several years at most.

I even went to the police training office, and saw more than 300 muscular men inside, who were training in the snow shirtless, and Sun Lin, who couldn't hold back, proposed to have a fight with these village guards, and the result was that even the most ordinary and thin team members, in terms of strength, can compare with him, and even can see the appearance of spare strength, after all, it can't be too much to sweep the face of the owner's guests.

Such a round of visits.

Eye-opening at the same time.

He also left an indelible impression on Fang Yizhi and his friends Qian Chengzhi and Sun Lin.

Qian Chengzhi thinks that the biogas digester is very good, because going up the mountain to chop firewood is a kind of quite hard and dangerous labor, often bitten by snakes and insects, smashed by branches, accidentally falling, and the damage to the environment is very large, where the population of the town, the surrounding firewood mountains are cut bare, even a ten-year tree can not be seen, and even the life material for the coffin has to be purchased from other places at a high price, if the biogas digester can be popularized in large quantities, the use of wood can be greatly saved, the ecological environment can also be restored, and the biogas slurry and biogas residue after the fermentation of the biogas digesterIt is also an excellent fertilizer, which can increase production and income, which is simply a lot of money!

"It's hard."

Fang Yizhi shook his head and said: "The biogas digester may not be difficult to build, but ordinary people, where do they get so much manure?" Xujiazhuang has a large number of farms, can collect countless pigs, cattle and sheep manure, but also built a number of public toilets, collect the feces of tens of thousands of villagers, so that the biogas digester has enough manure available, in order to produce enough biogas, if it is a single household of the people, can not collect the manure, built a biogas digester is useless. ”

Sun Lin slaughtered a large number of fat pigs in the slaughterhouse, saw those high-quality pork, Xu Jiazhuang did not want to sell it to make money, or processed into canned food, sausages and other products, but tens of thousands of pounds of pork, all free to the villagers, three catties per person is not a one-time, it is said that to the month of the month will be free of charge pork, each person can receive five catties or even ten catties, this is such an amazing waste, if it is sold, I don't know how much silver can be earned.

"Xujiazhuang is too good to those villagers, Shengmi En's fight against rice, if this goes on for a long time, what should I do if these villagers are raised?"

Sun Lin sighed privately.

"Only poor mountains and bad waters will come out of the people, and Cang Liao really knows etiquette."

Fang Yizhi thought for a while and said: "I remember that Brother Xu told me before that a strong country must first strengthen the species, and the people must be supported by the people, only every Zhuang citizen eats dozens of catties of meat every year, in order to raise the same physique as a tartar, in order to improve the average life expectancy, so that the next generation becomes more intelligent and strong, the more meat you eat, the better it is for the whole nation, and the most important thing in Xujiazhuang is money, instead of selling pork to make money, it is better to give it to the villagers to eat, for the people, in order to avoid being targeted by jackals." ”

"I see."

Sun Lin suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "It's no wonder that in the police training office in Xujiazhuang, with my strength and skills, it is difficult for even an ordinary family member to surrender, if there are such strong people in Xujiazhuang, it will be against the court in the future, and it may not be able to help Xujiazhuang." ”

"Brother Sun said cautiously, as far as I can see, Xu Jiazhuang has no objection, and what he does is just to put an end to the greed of some greedy people." Qian Chengzhi reminded.

"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing." Sun Lin hurriedly admitted his mistake.

……

The next day.

Xujiazhuang Education School.

At Fang Yizhi's strong request, he came here to visit again.

The third grade (1) class, this class that Fang Yizhi has focused on observing.

It has only been more than half a year, and after Fang Yizhi followed the class for another day, he found that the students in the class had made amazing progress.

The number of simplified Chinese characters has increased from about 3,000 to more than 5,000, and he is already able to write relatively smooth vernacular articles.

Master all the rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in mathematics, and begin to learn some practical physics knowledge, such as the principle of levers, mechanics, etc., which can play a great role in real life.

Qualified.

According to Xu Yuan's words, this batch of students is basically qualified and has reached the standard of graduating from primary school.

"After primary school, what will these children continue to learn? Will they learn the teachings of the sages and the subset of scriptures and histories? ”

Qian Chengzhi couldn't help asking.

"No, it won't."

Xu Yuandao: "The sage's truth can't transform the world, and the subset of scriptures and history can make people wise, but the lesson that people can learn from these books is that they never learn lessons, otherwise the multiple dynasties of our Chinese civilization will not be able to get out of the cycle of rise and fall that will die within three hundred years." ”

"I will let the smartest students in Xujiazhuang learn the knowledge of cultivating good seeds and making crops more productive; It will let them learn the knowledge that improving the machine can increase the production efficiency by a hundred times and a thousand times; will make them study how to make powerful weapons, and as long as a soldier holds this weapon, he can easily kill hundreds of Jiannu Tartars; There is also the knowledge that makes the speed of horse-drawn carriages tenfold, and the technology that allows seagoing ships to carry millions of stone cargo and sail thousands of miles...... As long as we master these advanced knowledge, we are not afraid that our China is not strong, we are not afraid of the barbarians and brutality around us, we are not afraid that we will not be able to get out of the cycle of rise and fall, we are not afraid that we will not be able to conquer this world, and we will establish a civilization that will last for thousands of years and will last forever! ”

For the first time, in front of outsiders, Xu Yuan showed his little ambition.

"It is feasible to convince people by force, but power is not eternal, there is no benevolence and righteousness, there is no understanding of the principles of sages, and I don't know how to be filial and loyal, and blindly use force, how is this different from barbarian beasts? Even if you can be proud for a while and be dominant for a while, if you don't say three hundred years, you won't be able to hold on to it for a hundred years. ”

Qian Chengzhi had to open his mouth to persuade, rejecting Xu Yuan's ridiculous thinking, although Sun Lin was pulling his sleeves wildly, he still couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

And his advice, Sun Lin and Fang Yizhi next to him also agreed in their hearts, because although Xu Yuan's set sounds very good, agriculture, industry, military, and economy can be greatly developed, but the people have no core ideological guidance, no benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety, and then everyone will only be mercenary, everyone will bully the weak, and it will only explode faster, and there will be no national fortune in a hundred years.

The former dynasty Dayuan is a lesson from the past.

"Vigorously developing productive forces is only one aspect, and I still have a set of ideological magic weapons."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly and continued: "The core meaning of this set of ideas is to be people-oriented, or to take people as treasures. ”

"Or take Daming as a comparison, the specific principles of people-oriented are as follows——"

"The current Ming Dynasty is based on officials, royal vassal kings and nobles, gentry and landlords, and a few people, but I Xu Jiazhuang is based on the public and all the villagers. The many benefits generated by Xujiazhuang are not for a very small number of people, but for all people in Xujiazhuang, and no one will be left behind. ”

"In terms of talents, the Ming Dynasty takes the scholars as a treasure, but most of the scholars can't pick their shoulders, they can't lift their hands, they are not grounded, they don't know the people's sufferings, they can maintain their inherent interests, but they can't make a big cake, bring greater benefits to the people, keep more than enough, lack of pioneering ability, and even harm the people, and become the most stringent exploiters, although they shout that they are loyal to the king and love the people, but in fact they are the ones who force the people to rebel, and they don't know how to converge." The faces of the three people who said this were hot, and it felt like they were scolding them.

"I, Xujiazhuang, do not take this kind of scholar as a treasure, but with talents who can make steel and machines and help realize industrialization; A general who can lead an army of 10,000 to annihilate a million enemy troops; It can make a farmer produce enough food for hundreds of people and thousands of people; Talents who can bring more goods and resources to the world and let everyone live a prosperous and comfortable life are the treasures in my eyes! The more such treasures, the better, and I will also invest a lot of resources to cultivate these talents. ”

In addition, the upper class of the Ming Dynasty pursued the gold and silver buried in the cellar as treasure, the right as the treasure, the land as the treasure, and the beauty as the treasure, although Xujiazhuang also pursued money and land, but did not take these as treasures, but people as treasures, because people are everything, people can create everything, if people are gone, what is the use of so much money and property rights land? Therefore, talent is everything, and people must be treasured! ”

Xu Yuan expressed his core idea.

"But without the idea of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, how can it be eternal?" Qian Chengzhi still felt incomprehensible.

"Based on the public, as long as it includes your emperor, it is loyalty! Public-oriented, including your parents and elders, that is filial piety! As long as there are the elderly, weak, women and children, and the disabled and sick, it is benevolence and righteousness! Take people as a treasure, as long as you abandon the hypocrisy in books, get up and act, and become a scientific and technological worker who contributes to the people's lives, then you are a treasure in my eyes! ”

Xu Yuan cut the nail on the head.

After hearing this.

Fang Yizhi's brain buzzed, and he felt that something had been opened, and he suddenly felt enlightened.

Got it.

The answer he'd been hoping for seemed to have been found!
