Is the Ming Dynasty saved?

Facing the question raised by Fang Yizhi, Xu Yuan wanted to give the answer: There is no help.

A stove without a new set.

If you do not make thorough changes in systems, culture, thoughts, etc., even if you forcefully extend the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for decades, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and will eventually collapse and perish.

This is an inevitable ending and an irresistible rule.

After all, there are too many problems and bugs within the Ming Dynasty, and they have long been full of holes and loopholes everywhere. They can block one or two, but it is impossible to block everything.

No matter how outstanding reformers made changes, even if the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was resurrected, they could only rebel.

Of course, Xu Yuan didn't want to attack Fang Yizhi excessively, but just said to him: "Brother, please take a look at me more and visit more, and you will find the answer to how to save the Ming Dynasty."

Therefore, after eating hot pot.

Xu Yuan asked Fang Yizhi, Qian Chengzhi and Sun Lin to settle down and move into the VIP guesthouse.

The next few days.

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

For example, in the biogas tank, you can see the continuous output of biogas, and the daily production of gas is thousands of cubic meters, which can meet the needs of boiling water and cooking in the whole village without cutting a pound of ingredient.

For example, a new granary that can accommodate up to 100,000 stones (equal to 6,000 tons) of grain, and there are two rows and ten seats, which can be fire-proof, insect-proof, and rat-proof, and the grain can be stored for up to five years.

For example, when I visited the pig farm and the supporting slaughterhouse, I saw that every household came to get pork, and each person shared three pounds of meat for free.

On the assembly line of the canning factory, I saw thin iron cans, pressed by machines, put into the ingredients, and then steamed at high temperatures. Even the most easily decayed food can be stored for more than a year, and the taste will not change.

In the side food factory, I saw a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes. After being manually washed, they were crushed by a machine, and then precipitated with water, and turned into about 25% powder. Finally, they were processed into bundles of vermicelli, which could be stored for several years at most.

He even went to the police training office and saw more than 300 muscular men inside, training in the snow with bare shirtless. Sun Lin couldn't help but asks to compete with these patrol guards. As a result, even the most ordinary and thin team members could compete with him in terms of strength, and even see that they had spare energy. After all, they could not save face of the owner and the distinguished guest.

After a round of visits.

While opening your eyes.

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

Qian Chengzhi thinks that the biogas pool is very good because going up the mountain is a very hard and dangerous labor. It is often bitten by snakes and insects, injured by branches, or accidentally falls. It also has great damage to the environment. In all towns with a large population, the surrounding firewood mountains are cut bare, and they cannot even see a ten-year tree. Even the life materials used for coffins have to be purchased from other places at a high price. If the biogas pool can be promoted in large quantities, it will greatly save the use of wood and the ecological environment can be restored. The slag of the fermented biogas pool is also an excellent fertilizer, which can bring about increased production and income, which is simply a killing of one stone!

"It's hard."

Fang Yizhi shook his head and said, "The biogas pool may not be difficult to build, but where do ordinary people get so much manure? Xujiazhuang has a large number of breeding farms that can collect countless pig, cattle and sheep manure. It also builds multiple public toilets to collect feces from tens of thousands of villagers. In this way, the biogas pool has sufficient feces to produce enough biogas. If a single-family people cannot concentrate the feces, it is useless to build a biogas pool."

After Sun Lin slaughtered a large number of fat pigs in the slaughterhouse, he saw the high-quality pork. Xujiazhuang did not want to sell it to make money, or process it into canned, sausage and other products. Instead, tens of thousands of kilograms of pork were distributed to the villager for free. Three kilograms per person is not a one-time job. It is said that in the twelfth lunar month, the New Year's pork will be distributed for free, and each person can receive five or even ten kilograms. What an amazing waste. If it is sold, I don't know how much money I can earn.

"Xujiazhuang is so nice to those villagers. If you promote the mien and fight against the migrants, what should you do if you keep these villagers slutty?"

Sun Lin sighed privately.

"Only when the poor mountains and rivers are poor, the unruly people will emerge, and only when the granaries are full can etiquette be known."

Fang Yizhi thought for a while and said, "I remember Brother Xu told me before that a strong country must first strengthen the seeds, and that benefiting the people must raise the people. Only when every villager eats dozens of kilograms of meat every year can he raise the same body as the Tartars, increase the average life expectancy, and make the next generation smarter and stronger. The more meat they eat, the better for the entire nation. Besides, what Xujiazhuang does not lack the least is money. Instead of selling pork to make money, it is better to give it to the villager to use it to strengthen the people to avoid being targeted by jackals."

"I see."

Sun Lin suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "No wonder at the police station in Xujiazhuang, with my strength and skills, even an ordinary servant could not be subdued. If there were such a strong citizen in Xujiazhuang, even if he turned against the court in the future, he might not be able to do anything to Xujiazhuang."

"Brother Sun is careful. From what I see, Xu Jiazhuang has no intention of rebelling. What he does is just to eliminate the greed of some greedy people." Qian Chengzhi reminded him.

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

...

the next day.

Xujiazhuang Educational School.

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

Grade 3 (1) class, this class that Fang Yizhi has observed.

It was only half a year since I disappeared. Fang Yizhi followed him and found that the students in the class were progressing amazingly.

The number of Chinese simplified Chinese characters has increased from 3,000 to more than 5,000, and we can already write more fluent vernacular articles.

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

Passed.

According to Xu Yuan's words, this group of students has basically passed the standard of primary school graduation.

"What knowledge will these children continue to learn after graduating from elementary school? Will they learn the principles of sages, classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and literature?"

Qian Chengzhi couldn't help but ask.

"Won't."

Xu Yuandao: "The truth of the saint cannot transform this world. The classics, history, and collections of literature and literature can make people wise, but the lessons that people can learn from these books are that they never learn lessons. Otherwise, none of my many dynasties in Chinese civilization will be able to escape the law of the rise and fall cycle that will perish within three hundred years."

"I will let the smartest students in Xujiazhuang learn to cultivate good varieties and make crops more productive; I will let them learn to improve machines and increase production efficiency by hundreds of times; I will let them study how to make powerful weapons, as long as a soldier holds this weapon, he can easily kill hundreds of Jiannu Tartars; I will also have knowledge to speed up the carriages ten times, and the technology to allow sea boats to carry millions of stones of cargo to sail thousands of miles... As long as I master these advanced knowledge, I will not be afraid that I am not strong in China, nor that the barbarians around me will be brutal, nor that I cannot get out of the law of the rise and fall cycle, nor that I cannot conquer this world, and establish a civilization that lasts for thousands of years and lasts forever!"

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

"It is certainly feasible to convince people with strength, but it is not lasting. Without a benevolent and righteous heart, without understanding the principles of sages, and without knowing filial piety, loyalty and obedience, and blindly using force, is this different from barbarians and beasts? Even if you can be proud and dominate for a while, you will not be able to hold on for a hundred years, not only for three hundred years."

Qian Chengzhi had to persuade, rejecting Xu Yuan's absurd thinking. Although Sun Lin pulled his sleeves aside, he couldn't help but say what he was in his heart.

Sun Lin and Fang Yizhi, who were next to him, also agreed with his advice, because although Xu Yuan's scheme sounds good, agriculture, industry, military and economy can all develop tremendously, the people have no core ideological guidance and no kindness or filial intentions. At that time, everyone will only seek profit and bully the weak, and they will only explode themselves faster, and there will be no national destiny for a century.

The Yuan Dynasty of the previous dynasty was a lesson from the past.

"Vigorously developing productivity is only one aspect, and I have a set of ideas and magic weapons."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly and continued, "The core meaning of this set of ideas is to put people first, or to put people first."

"If you use the Ming Dynasty as a comparison, the specific principles of people-oriented are as follows-"

"The Ming Dynasty is based on officials, royal vassal kings and honors, gentry and landlords, and a few people. However, I, Xujiazhuang, are based on the masses and all the villagers. The many benefits generated by Xujiazhuang are not for the very few people, but for everyone in Xujiazhuang, and no one will leave behind."

"In terms of talent, the Ming Dynasty regarded scholars as treasures, but most scholars could not pick their shoulders, hold their hands, and were not down-to-earth. They did not know the sufferings of the people. They could maintain their inherent interests, but could not make a big cake, which brought greater benefits to the people. They had more than enough success, lacked pioneering ability, and even harmed the people, and became the most severe exploiters. Although they shouted that they were loyal to the emperor and loved the people, they were actually the ones who forced the people to resist, and they became increasingly ignorant of restraint." The three of them said that their faces were hot, and they felt like they were scolding them.

"My Xujiazhuang does not take this kind of scholar as a treasure, but is a talent that can make steel and build machines that can help achieve industrialization; lead 10,000 troops to annihilate millions of enemy generals; enable a farmer to produce enough food for hundreds of people and thousands of people to eat; bring more goods and resources to the world and let everyone live a rich and comfortable life, which is the treasure in my eyes! The more such treasures, the better, and I will invest a lot of resources to cultivate these talents."

"In addition, the upper class of the Ming Dynasty pursued gold and silver buried in the cellar as treasures, rights as treasures, land as treasures, and beauty as treasures. Although Xujiazhuang also pursued money and land, they did not regard these as treasures, but as treasures, because people are everything, and people can create everything. If people are gone, what is the use of land for so much money, rights and land? Therefore, talent is everything, people must be treasures!"

Xu Yuan expressed his core idea.

"How can we last forever without the idea of ​​loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness?" Qian Chengzhi still found it difficult to understand.

"If you put the crowd first, as long as you include your emperor, that is loyalty! If you put the crowd first, and your parents and elders are filial piety! If you put the crowd first, as long as you have the elderly, weak, women and children, disabled, and sick, that is kindness and righteousness! If you take people as treasure, as long as you abandon the hypocrisy in the books, take action, and become a scientific and technological worker who contributes to the people, then you are the treasure in my eyes!"

Xu Yuan's decisive way.

After hearing this.

Fang Yizhi felt something open, and he suddenly felt enlightened.

Found.

The answer he has been looking forward to and longing for seems to have found it!
Chapter completed!
