Chapter 1 The development of industry begins with agriculture

A few months have passed, and both the Academy of Sciences and the Aviation School have gradually stepped into the right track.

All that's left is to work quietly and wait for the flowers to bloom.

At the end of the year, in the courtyard, Cheng Nuo is reviewing his previous work in order to sum up his experience and prevent falling twice on the same pit, especially when there are more and more people traveling with him, each step of the mistake will bring huge trial and error costs.

"Dean, is the dean at home?" Jiang Jiang Zuo wrapped a pile of newspapers in his armpits, and shouted in his mouth as he came from the front yard: "Didn't you tell me last time that you should pay more attention to the developments in Europe, and I brought you all the newspapers." ”

"yes, bring it to me." Cheng Nuo, who was working in the back room, put down his pen and got up to the door to greet him: "The house was just messed up by me, there are books everywhere, and there is no open space for even the feet, let's sit outside first, so we can breathe fresh air." ”

"It's okay, I've been stuffy in the house for a long time, and I really can't stand it." After Jiang Jiang Zuo handed over the newspaper, he followed Cheng Nuo straight to the pavilion.

The breeze is blowing and the sun is warm.

In such an environment, Cheng Nuo quickly browsed the major events and wonders that had happened in European countries in recent days, and it didn't take much effort to understand the situation there.

The reason why he cares so much about Europe is because Cheng Nuo plans to take the Academy of Sciences abroad and go overseas in the future.

At the end of the year, one of the goals is to invite the scientific community to hold the first annual scientific meeting in China.

The so-called taking advantage of your illness will kill you.

In addition, he also thinks about continuing to dig the foot of the wall, buy machinery, store materials, etc., and take advantage of as much as he can, the purpose is to support the development of the country, especially in heavy industry, which is the top priority of Cheng Nuo's next step.

Feeling a little bored, Jiang Jiang Zuo also began to pick up a newspaper and look at it quietly.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, I didn't expect it to really make him find something amazing.

"Recently, British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour sent a letter to Rothschild, vice president of the British Zionist Alliance, saying that the British government agrees with the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine and supports the return of Jews to Palestine...... This Englishman isn't a thing, is he?

He said that he agreed, but he didn't ask the locals if they agreed or not. What a bandit mentality! ”

The declaration, which came to be known as the Balfour Declaration, was the first declaration in Western countries to formally support the return of Jews to Palestine.

Cheng Nuo knew this well, changed his posture and continued to cross: "The law of the jungle is the law of international exchanges, especially the British, it is not a good thing, have you forgotten about the year of Gengzi?" ”

"The national shame and family feud are reported in the year, hurting God, looking at Guan Heyue from afar. Grief and indignation, Fu Xiangse. I will never forget this humiliation for the rest of my life, and before I die, I will warn my children and grandchildren not to forget it. Talking about the Opium War, Jiang Jiang Zuo gritted his teeth in anger.

Cheng Nuo glanced at the other party with a little meaning, then retracted his gaze and put it back on the newspaper: "The great task of revival is the duty of our generation." Whether it's the British or the Japanese ghost in the future, try to think about the worst when you get along with them, that's right. ”

After a pause, Cheng Nuo changed the newspaper in his hand and said to himself: "But we must also beware of those Jews, in addition to Palestine, they have also coveted our land in the East for a long time!" ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo was so angry that he slapped his legs and stood up: "If you want them to have ten guts, they don't dare, they are panicked like lost dogs, and they still want to fight the idea of our ancestral land, which is ridiculous, hateful and shameful!" ”

"You've got another one left behind." Cheng Nuo said lightly.

"What did you fall on?" Jiang Jiang Zuo was puzzled.

"The word 'pathetic' fell." Cheng Nuo's face was calm, and he slowly confided in the answer,

Jiang Jiang Zuo dusted the dirt on the corners of his trousers, and said nonchalantly: "Are you saying that these homeless people are pathetic?" If you want me to see, our ancestors are right, the pathetic people must have something to hate, maybe these outsiders, how to Huo Huo local people. ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head, folded the newspaper carefully, and said with a serious expression: "When I say 'pathetic' here, I don't mean Jews, but we Chinese people. ”

The cynicism on Jiang Jiang Zuo's face was immediately put away, and he said in a solemn tone: "We, pathetic? ”

"Alas, it's us now, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat." Cheng Nuo let out a long sigh and paced behind his back in the pavilion: "In the final analysis, the current national strength is too weak, and the division of other countries' territories without consent will happen in the Middle East, and it will inevitably happen in the Far East." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo said cautiously: "Far East? Referring to us? ”

Cheng Nuo put his hands behind his back, and his steps became heavier and heavier: "Just a few days ago, the United States and Japan directly flagrantly ignored our country's sovereignty and directly signed the "Lanxin Ishijing Agreement" by bypassing our office, saying that the door is open and opportunities are equal.

Isn't this just stealing our things and eating our meat in front of us, if it weren't for the British, who were stuck in the quagmire of the European war and couldn't get out of it for the time being, maybe they would have to get involved. ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo originally wanted to refute, but his mouth was open, but reason suppressed this impulse again, and turned it into a sigh: "Alas, it's really sad." ”

Unexpectedly, Cheng Nuo suddenly smiled here, came to Jiang Jiang Zuo's side, and sat down side by side with him: "As the saying goes, if you fall into the place of death, you will be born, and if you are left behind, you will survive." Isn't this the direction that our comrades of the Academy of Sciences should strive for, and be result-oriented.

In time, thanks to the efforts of our generation, the country has become stronger, and no matter whether it is a Jew, an Anglo-Saxon, or a Slav, who dares to underestimate us? ”

Under the infection of this emotion, Jiang Jiang Zuo was very excited, but after calming down, he hesitated: "Everyone will say good things, and now there are more and more capable people in our Academy of Sciences, but there has been no main development direction, like a plate of scattered sand, how can we support the development of the country?" ”

Cheng Nuo has been thinking about this problem for a long time, and he has always wanted the three carriages of workers, peasants and education to go hand in hand, but there is no main development direction, resulting in extremely poor development results.

Now in the face of Jiang Jiang Zuo's inquiry, Cheng Nuo gave an accurate reply:

"In the future, we will focus on industry, lay a solid foundation, and then talk about other things."

Jiang Jiang Zuo was a little excited: "Does it mean that we have to develop steel, coal, petroleum and other industries first, I have long wanted to do this." ”

Cheng Nuo nodded and shook his head again: "Yes and no." ”

This set of operations confused Jiang Jiang Zuo, and there was a huge question mark on his head: "How can you say this?" ”

Cheng Nuo explained with a smile: "The heavy industry we want to develop includes the steel, coal and oil you mentioned, but before they can develop, we have to deal with one thing first." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo asked, "What's the matter?" Money? Person? Earth? ”

"You're talking about small things." Reaching out to pick up a wheat straw from the yard, Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Develop basic agriculture first?" ”

"It's not...... This...... Alas! After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't guess that what Cheng Nuo was going to say was this, Jiang Jiangzuo was a little unacceptable for a while: "It's okay to develop agriculture first, but after you said that industry, you kidnapped agriculture back, isn't it a bit of that?" ”

Cheng Nuo had already guessed this performance, and put the wheat straw in the palm of his hand to display: "This agriculture, not the other agriculture, in layman's terms, that is, the first batch of industrial development goals, is to improve the production efficiency of agriculture." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo frowned: "I hope the dean will talk about it in detail." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled, stood up from his seat with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Because any process of industrialization cannot bypass the primitive accumulation of capital, we can't do without this step anyway......"

As for the completion of industrial accumulation, whether the state or the capitalists will do it, it is only a question of derivation.

Western countries, led by Britain and France, basically relied on capitalists to complete primitive accumulation, and the state was also involved in it. Especially in the initial stage of capitalism, the state is an important subject of primitive accumulation.

In those days, merchant ships in Western countries were warships, the size of the fleet was a portrayal of national strength, and merchants were pirates, who went to sea to plunder on the orders of the king.

These merchants would bring back the overseas resources generated by the plunder to support the primitive accumulation of their own countries into industrialization.

When the West completed the primitive accumulation and entered industrialization, the Renaissance movement occurred, through the Renaissance movement, the West found the origin of Greco-Roman civilization for its own industrialization rise, and the Renaissance was a kind of cultural foreshadowing.

The cultural export is basically a whitewashing of the historical experience accumulated by the West through plunder in the process of colonization, and it has become the cultural foundation of contemporary humanities and social sciences.

Changing into luxurious clothes, the Caucasian person directly became a human being.

Hundreds of years of Western development history was told by Cheng Nuo.

However, Jiang Jiang Zuo still didn't understand: "According to your reasoning, the West has surpassed the East to become stronger, and there is indeed a certain amount of truth, but our neighbor Japan, he has no overseas colonies, why did he quietly dominate the Far East?" ”

Cheng Nuo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Have you forgotten that the land under our feet was essentially colonized by Japan?" Buying primary raw materials, processing them into industrial products, and selling them to us, making money at both ends, and the wealth we have accumulated is looted step by step. ”

Of course, Japan's ability to continue to be strong and dare to touch the United States is also related to its aggression against our country and its occupation of a large number of means of production.

Success is the same, defeat is also the same, the little devil still underestimated the people of this land after all, and finally ended in failure.

But that's all for later, and it's not appropriate to talk about what hasn't happened yet.

Therefore, Jiang Jiang Zuo inevitably still has some questions: "I see, but let's talk about it, what you said is still not related to agriculture?" ”

"It is because we have no colonies and cannot complete the accumulation of capital that we must develop agriculture!" Cheng Nuo closed his eyes, trying not to let a trace of emotion leak out.

Jiang Jiang Zuo was obviously stunned: "So ......"

Cheng Nuo's closed eyes suddenly opened, and it was difficult to hide the sadness in his eyes: "To develop agriculture is to sacrifice agriculture and achieve industry." ”

Question, just

As a semi-colonial country, China had no possibility of plundering overseas, and then could not complete capital accumulation, so it was beaten and bullied, and in the process knew that it wanted to industrialize.

Industrialization does not have the conditions to plunder resources overseas according to the conditions of the West, and can only extract primitive accumulation internally.

Undoubtedly, as an agricultural country that has developed for thousands of years, agriculture has borne the brunt.

No matter what dynasty or generation, what party or faction,

As long as we enter industrialization, we will not be able to bypass primitive accumulation, and China's primitive accumulation cannot be exported to the outside world, and can only suffer from agriculture.

As a civilized country that has lasted for thousands of years without interruption, China has always been an agricultural society, including the ability to conserve natural resources and maintain the environment and ecology, which is far greater than that of industrial civilization.

Our local complex is also far greater than that of other countries.

In later generations, the reason why our country can quickly become the world's factory and become the second in the world is because of the existence of poor agricultural scissors, sacrificing several generations of agricultural people to feed industry.

Of course, if it is purely oriented towards development results, this sacrifice is undoubtedly worth it, and it has successfully helped the vast majority of people to live a relatively good life, at least it is not a problem to have a full stomach.

But at the same time, it is important to realize that this is the result of sacrificing generations of farmers, and that the cities belong to only a small number of people after all.

Many people got rich first, and they ran away first.

Thinking of this, Cheng Nuo took a deep breath and said slowly: "Agriculture, especially the countryside, is essentially like a big sponge, absorbing pressure as much as possible in all periods, and releasing energy at the right time, without saying a word.

No matter how we develop industry and how successful we are in the future, we must not forget that those of us started from agriculture, and there is such an unknown group of people who have come, sacrificed, and dedicated. ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo said in a deep voice: "I understand, what you say, we will do it, history will remember them eventually." ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head, his eyes were sharp, and he said: "Why should history be remembered, our own people can't remember?" If these people do not share in happiness while they are alive, then there is no point in sharing suffering. ”

After these words, Jiang Jiang Zuo completely woke up: "Okay! I'm going to do it. ”

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo nodded with relief.

Of course, good words are always easier said than done.

Take our neighbor P5 - India as an example, which is also a large country with a large population, and even when it was first founded, its overall strength was stronger than ours.

However, it was never possible to enter industrialization, because the federal state was internally fragmented and could not rely on its own agriculture to enter industry, but went directly to the tertiary industry, that is, the service industry.

India's tertiary industry now accounts for 57%, mainly serving the West, and transforming Indian education and the students trained by higher education.

Some of them learn American English to serve the United States, and the other part learn British English to serve Europe, including IT services, doctor and nurse consulting services, accountant consulting, tax consulting, etc.

It looks like the voice is quite loud, and the size is not small, but in fact, they are all fat.

If you want to become a big country in the true sense, it is indispensable to have an industrial foundation, especially heavy industry.

However, this journey has not been easy.

If you want to turn over without sacrificing something, it's really a fool's dream.

In this way, in the following period of time, Cheng Nuo held many meetings at the Academy of Sciences, broke the relationship between workers and peasants, crumpled them, and told them to the comrades, so that they could do their work in a more directional way.

While the direction is clear, the work is also more energetic.

Especially Guo Shouchun, who had been busy in the fields before, smiled even more.
