Since his rebirth, Li Yuan's behavior has been regarded as ...... Let's be more unrestrained! Let yourself go and do whatever you want.

If there are people who are not used to seeing it, they must think that the arrogance of everything in the sky, the overlooking from above, and the inexplicable arrogance......

No cultivation! No emotional intelligence!

Actually...... And that's right. But as a reborn hanger, if you don't even have this bit of confidence? Is that a bird born again?

It's because your fault tolerance rate is already unlimited!

Even if I'm wrong! I have offended you! I'm out of luck! I am the enemy of the people! ……

But I can still open another runway and be better than you!

So why bother with yourself?

But this does not prove that Li Yuan does not understand emotional intelligence.

When interviewed abroad, Li Yuan was relatively conservative, and only said some things that crooked nuts liked to hear. Make them happy!

When I go back to the domestic interview, it will be a lot more liberating. After all, it's all a family, so what's not to say?

"When I was studying history, I always had a question - the rise of great powers should be fully industrialized! This argument should be accepted, right?"

Seeing that the host nodded, Li Yuan continued: "According to the existing research, a stable social environment, a certain scale of the market, and a professional social division of labor. This was all present in ancient China, and it was far ahead of European countries. So why wasn't China the first to enter the Industrial Revolution?"

"Oh? It can't be, right?" The moderator immediately asked, which seemed to be a bit contrary to the theory in the textbook.

Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Let me tell you one more thing, these basic elements of industrialization have been realized in China more than 2,000 years ago, that is, in the Qin and Han dynasties. In other words, the germ of capitalism has emerged in China."

"Huh?" The host almost didn't faint directly. Because of this point of view Mrs. ...... It's unbelievable.

Li Yuan explained with a smile: "In the time of Qin Shi Huang, the cars were on the same track and the books were on the same text, which should be known. There are also large-scale projects such as the county system, the unified weights and measures, the construction of the Great Wall, Chidao, canals, etc., which are aimed at unifying the market. More importantly, an efficient national organization has been formed! We can observe other ancient civilizations, and the Chinese civilization is unique. The great empires of other civilizations, they also have a high degree of state organization. Like pyramids, hanging gardens, temples, and many more. But basically, they are large-scale projects in the religious sense. It seems that only the roads of ancient Rome are an exception, right? See what this means? The high efficiency of the country's organization can help in foreign wars! So those big empires are also in need, just like in ancient China. But the unified market? They don't have such a need at all, so why should they build the Great Wall, canals, Dujiangyan, Zhengguo Canal, and so on?"

The host smiled and nodded, "That seems to make some sense."

"Huh. And that's not all. Privatization was carried out from the beginning of the Shang Dynasty Reform Law, allowing private land to be bought and sold. This is extremely important! Those feudal lords in the Western Middle Ages, everything in the territory was the lord's! Even the petty nobles and freedmen who were attached to them had only private property and the right to use the land! It's like later there were serfs in Tsarist Russia or something. So the sentence - the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter! That sentence is a joke. It is a kind of brainwashing theory that Western-centrism and Western superiority theory carried out on other countries later."

"Really?"

"That's it! And that's not all. Whether it is Shang Ying's standing wood for the letter, or the three chapters of the Han Gaozu's covenant, a contract-type society has been formed. There is also the military production of the old Qin State, that is, the ones unearthed by the Terracotta Army. Is that standardized mass production, that is, a socialized great division of labor?"

"Oooh!"

"In addition to this, Confucianism alone unifies the thinking in the field of culture. It doesn't matter what Confucianism became later, but Confucianism has two major advantages - maintaining social stability and education! This is all conducive to a unified large market. Replaced by the Legalists, the Mohists, etc., that one will continue to be in war and chaos, and it will be a big deal. The death of Qin II did not change this cultural field in time, and he always adhered to Legalist thought. The most important thing is the establishment of a secular society, completely free from the influence of religion. It should all be known that the West

The Renaissance was to get rid of the stubborn religious backwardness of the Middle Ages."

"And what else?"

"Of course. The monopoly of salt and iron, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business, this is the economic means of the state. Of course, there were side effects such as heavy agriculture and suppression of the Chamber of Commerce, but the big landlords at that time were big businessmen, in fact, they did not change the soup, just like the Junker aristocracy in Prussia. I won't discuss it here. Including the probation system, it is to unify the official language of all localities and prevent the division of dialects. Otherwise, the country is like the Latin language of the West, divided into English, French, German, ....... Later, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system led to the emergence of the great aristocratic territory, so the imperial examination system was immediately put in order. Including the later Grand Canal. We all know that Caoyun incurs a large number of losses every year, but the importance of north-south circulation cannot be overestimated. This is the country's macroeconomic adjustment ......."

"Li Yuan, are there really so many?"

"Hehe, isn't that enough? In fact, this is no longer a feudal system, but a stage in the middle between feudalism and capitalism. Either a new term could be used, or it could be used - the germ of capitalism. It is strange that these conditions are fully met, and for about 2,000 years, there has been no industrial revolution? It's so puzzling."

The host was obviously prepared: "Li Yuan, I've read your book series, you seem to have forgotten to mention a place, right? Primordial capital?"

"Yes! Raw capital." Li Yuan smiled and nodded, "Host, do you know what new discoveries have been made in my research? Ancient China did not lack raw capital at all. Due to the large export of tea, silk and porcelain, a situation was formed to make money lying down. It's even easier than the local tyrants of the Middle East oil-producing countries now. These three things are not worth much in China, but as long as they are shipped to European countries, they are a huge profit."

"I know that! The Silk Road!"

"Huh. But you don't know that from the second half of the Ming Dynasty, Western merchants, represented by missionaries, continued to sell goods in China. They came with clocks, firearms, and so on to sell them, and even to the palace. But what did those emperors say? Played around for a while - KitKat Yin Technique? Isn't that so? It seems to prove that we do not value science and technology. But are so many ministers blind? We really don't need it in China? So the Western colonizers plundered bloodily in the Americas, but most of the precious metals went to China. This should be a lot of academic papers. There is also China's border trade with the surrounding area. Exported large quantities of tea, cloth, silk, ironware, and so on. For example, Foshan's iron industry exports a large number of iron pots to books. Just because the iron-making technique of the book is very poor, these iron pots need to be melted and forged to make katana."

"Huh?" The host was taken aback.

Li Yuan smiled, "There is more. Agricultural production in ancient China also accumulated a large amount of raw capital."

"Huh?" The moderator clearly accepted that no. Agricultural production? How can it be compared to capital accumulation?

Li Yuan smiled: "Let me ask you, in the primitive accumulation stage of capitalism, you should have heard of the famous sheep eating people, right?"

"I've heard that."

"Have you ever thought that the value of an acre of land for growing food must be far greater than the value of an acre of land for grazing sheep? Otherwise, all the farming people will run away to be nomads? Who will farm? Isn't that the truth? This is the law of economics? The same is true in modern times, where there is a condition for farming, it is impossible to use it as pasture. That's waste. So why do sheep eat people? Are the British all idiots? Are they willing to make less money?"

"This...... It's not ......" The host was completely stunned.

Li Yuan said: "There is only one possibility here - the value of farming is far lower than grazing! At that time, the level of cultivation in Europe was extremely low. How low? It's about one-tenth of what it was in ancient China!"

"What?" The host thought he was having auditory hallucinations.

Li Yuan smiled: "This is a record. At that time, the seed harvest ratio in Europe was generally 1; 2, that is to say, plant 1 catty of seeds and harvest 2 catties of grain. In ancient China, it had already reached 1:20. That's 10 times more than them."

"Wouldn't it? It can't be, right?"

"But that's the reality, huh? It should be noted that at this time, there was already an industrial revolution in Britain, but the cultivation technology was still in the stage of slash-and-burn. The main reason - the lack of iron farming tools. By the way, at that time, China's iron production accounted for more than two-thirds of the world's total! Do you see it? It was also a favorable factor of the industrial revolution. In addition, there is iron ore and coal mines, which are also not lacking in China."

"Li Yuan, I have a question: why didn't we have an industrial revolution?"

"That's where I get weird. It seems that all the conditions are met, right? A unified market, with a large population, and surrounding tribes to dump their wares? Large-scale socialized division of labor, at least in the era of Qin Shi Huang, appeared. Needless to say, the labor force must be massive. There is no shortage of capital, not only the massive inflow of precious metals from overseas, but also the accumulation of domestic agricultural products? What are the country's macroeconomic control measures? Secularized society? Privatization circulation? Convenient transportation represented by the Grand Canal? A large number of skilled craftsmen? Or even 2000 years to brew? Just spark it, it must be the Industrial Revolution, right?"

The host also smiled: "Li Yuan, what do you think is the reason?"

"I'm sorry! I can't judge either. So in this book, you can only guess at the glass - just click on the wrong tech tree! In fact, when glass appeared, the West quickly overtook us. With telescopes, modern mathematics, modern physics ......; With microscopes, modern medicine, modern biology ....... There are too many examples to list. Of course, this is my hypothesis, and there is no guarantee that it will be correct. I hope you can work together."

The host also slowly came back to her senses, and she asked with a smile, "Li Yuan, the history of the past...... Just let it pass! Are we talking about the rise of great powers today? So where are the opportunities for our country?"

Li Yuan shrugged: "Didn't I say it just now? Through a series of social transformations, we have formed a very special country - a civilized country! In Huntington's famous book "The Clash of Civilizations", there is a sentence - China is not a country, but a civilization disguised as a country! I won't go into this sentence here. That's hundreds of doctoral dissertations. But it should be noted: this has met all the preconditions for industrialization. It is also more important that the civilized state is the highest form of civilization in the world known to mankind! Far beyond those nation-states or religious states, that is, theocratic countries."

"Is that so?"

"Host, I want to tell you one more thing, so far, we are the only civilized country, China! The only one! There is not even one of the other countries that meet the criteria!"

"Huh?"

"Aren't you surprised?" Seeing that the host kept nodding, Li Yuan smiled and said, "This is not some brainless self-congratulation. What China is great! No. 1 in China! Or China can say no! This is a unified civilization and a unified market! The biggest market now is definitely the United States. But the United States has 50 states, each with different laws, and it is a federal country, so there will always be some obstacles to the unified market. Europe, the second largest market? Needless to say, there is no unification of language and currency. Equal to a federation of dozens of small countries. And we in China have a huge market of more than a billion people!"

"Li Yuan! Sorry to interrupt, but I admit that my country does have a population of more than a billion people. But the majority of the population is poor and has little spending power at all. It's not a big market, is it?"

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I prefer to use scientific methods to study, that is, scientific deduction. Actually, you and I don't know what's going to happen in the future, do we?"

"Yes!"

"But through logical deduction, we are able to deduce the greatest possibility of the future according to known conditions. Isn't that so?"

"I guess that's it!"

Li Yuan smiled: "You should have heard of this widely circulated joke - the domestic industry is very low-end, and all you earn is a trivial amount of hard-earned money. Exporting 1.8 billion shirts in exchange for importing an airplane?"

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100

A kind of timbre, but also an artifact that supports offline reading, App]

"Hahaha! Right, right! There are indeed such stories. This is a manifestation of our country's backwardness."

Li Yuan couldn't help but glance at it. Our country is backward, why are you so happy?

"So be it! These shirt fabrics are imported, and buttons and other accessories are also imported, including cutting and sewing machines, which also need to be imported. It also includes patents and whatever. Are we just earning personal wages? Isn't that so?"

"Haha. That's it! Any questions?"
