"Actually, your school invited me to come and talk about success. In fact, I don't like to talk about it. It doesn't make any sense!
What do I like to say? History!" Zhu Wencong paused and found that everyone was staring at him.
What the students are looking forward to is Zhu Wencong’s personal explanation of success, and he can even answer everyone’s questions on the spot.
But Zhu Wencong did not choose to explain the science of success, but talked about history, which is most unfamiliar to everyone.
The United States has no history, and the people do not need to learn it, because the history of the United States is the history of the future, not the past.
Zhu Wencong stood calmly on the podium. He will get bored if he talks too much about success, so he must maintain a certain sense of mystery.
"Nowadays, the United States has most of the knowledge, but the knowledge of history is completely blank.
Why should we understand history? Study history? Quoting Eastern discourse: Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.
I suggest you learn the whole sentence: Using copper as a mirror, you can dress properly; using history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; using people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses.
What does this mean? It’s more complicated, because a set of Chinese characters can have multiple meanings, more than a dozen words." Zhu Wencong said slowly.
"We use copper as a mirror, so we can see whether we are dressed properly. This is the meaning of the first sentence.
The second sentence is that by using history as a mirror, we can know the reasons for the rise and fall of a country; the third sentence is that by using people as a mirror, we can find out whether we are right or wrong.
Therefore, learning history and knowing the rise and fall of a country is very applicable to the current United States.
Some people may ask, what does the rise and fall of the United States have to do with us? This is a federal system!" Zhu Wencong asked and answered himself.
The students nodded one after another. The destruction of the United States will not affect California. At worst, California will become an independent country.
Under the federal system, the states are independent entities, but they only jointly recognize one center, the American Federation!
Californians only care about the future and development of California, and students only care about whether they can succeed in starting their own business and whether they can embrace wealth.
Students have no interest in higher-level national affairs unless they involve their own interests.
For example, children from the southern faction are joining the army one after another. If they don't join the army, their hometown will be taken over by the industrial faction.
With this awareness, he can instantly kill the Eight Banners disciples in the capital, defeat the northern faction, and continue to be a dandy. It doesn’t matter if he loses.
Zhu Wencong continued: "What we want to discuss now is the future of California and the direction of California!
How do we know the future and direction? Then we must find our answer from the history of the United States.
When talking about the history of the United States, everyone may not be familiar with it and know very little about it.
I can explain to you that the first half of the United States was the glorious history of the agriculturalists, and their achievements are indelible.
You know that I am a staunch industrialist, so why should I praise the agriculturalists?"
"It's obvious that agriculture has been eliminated by the times. Now they are just struggling to death. There is no suspense!
This is my answer to you and everyone. If you are not convinced, time will prove everything!
I praise the agriculturalists mainly because they have completed the mission and responsibility that history has given them, and they can leave the scene with honor.
From the earliest days of the founding of the United States, the agricultural faction has been opening up and expanding the territory of the United States, increasing the population, improving the system, etc.
It can be said that without the contributions of the agriculturalists, there would be no America today, let alone the Industrial Party!
The agricultural faction has been glorious and proud, and they have strong capital and energy." Zhu Wencong raised his hand.
The agricultural faction in the United States has the power to crush the industrial faction. They lose because of their background and lose in the future.
If the agricultural faction was really vulnerable, the Civil War would not have lasted for several years without ending.
Zhu Wencong is very aware of the power of the agricultural faction, so he has been frantically testing it and eating away at it bit by bit.
As long as the official acquiesces to his actions, Zhu Wencong will have no scruples and let go of the farmers.
"Because we understand past history, we can write future history.
You are both young people and the hope of America. Only you know what the future will look like.
The older generation will eventually leave, and the new generation will eventually step onto the world stage.
The general trend of the world is vast and powerful. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. This is an old saying from the East.
Facing the torrent of the new era, those who go upstream will only die. We must go downstream and create an era that belongs to us.
We are young, we have a lot of time, and we have endless energy and imagination." Zhu Wenchong said impassionedly.
"I believe we can do the same and surpass them for their brilliant achievements.
This is why I ask you to learn history. Only by knowing the strength of others can we know our shame and then be brave!
It’s not that I’m knocking your self-confidence, but that you need to beat it, like a young eagle on a cliff.
If you want to learn to fly, you have to face the abyss and open your wings to embrace the sky!" Zhu Wencong pointed out the theme.
The students suddenly realized it, but when they thought about the achievements of the agricultural school, the pressure suddenly rose.
Whether it can be surpassed is really unknown. In terms of expanding territory, the industrialists simply cannot surpass it.
Historically, the industrialists did it! On March 3, 1867, the United States purchased 1.7 million square kilometers of Alaska for US$7 million plus a handling fee of US$200,000.
The industrialists not only surpassed the agriculturalists in all aspects, but also brought the United States from an agricultural country to an industrial power, and finally to the final super empire.
"Can our future achievements surpass theirs?" One student couldn't help but ask.
"Why not! Or are you saying you can't do it?" Zhu Wencong asked.
Principal Edward showed a satisfied smile. He was very satisfied with Zhu Wenchong's statement, which can inspire people's fighting spirit.
Just asking people to rush forward will make people feel confused. They must have a goal and a direction to sprint forward.
Zhu Wencong believes that these students in front of him will have a perfect life in the future, regardless of whether their achievements are high or low.
"What you are studying now are engineering and the like, right? This is obviously tailor-made for the future industry!
You are very lucky to have this opportunity to study, excellent teachers, and rich family resources, which are enough for you to fly!
Unlike me! I have no background, no resources, no talent and learning. What I do have is a reckless energy, just like America in the wilderness.
I envy you very much. You can lead the future industrial development, but I can only focus on the field of agriculture." Zhu Wenchong looked envious.
In order to take over the agricultural sector of the United States, Zhu Wencong needs to promote industry and destroy agriculture. Only by being humble can he become bigger and stronger.
After all, when American industry was rising, agriculture was gradually recovering, relying on machinery to once again become a major agricultural country.
Zhu Wencong could only take advantage of their thoughts and energy to focus on industry and quietly monopolize agriculture completely.
