Chapter 74: The Seashore Said III

Zhou Tunan continued: "But in fact, except for the Spring and Autumn Period, there will be danger in the future. There will be no danger in the current situation! Do you know why?"

The three of them fell into deep thought, and Dang Shining suddenly spoke, saying, "Sir, do you mean to be left-sided lapel?"

Zhou Tunandao: "Yes, in the Spring and Autumn Period, our Middle Earth civilization did not have much advantage for the barbarians in all directions.

If those barbarians succeed in invading, they may all of our poetry, books, rituals and music will be destroyed. We may have already put our hair on the left side, and our language and writing are not like this now..."

The three of them listened and felt a sudden enlightenment again.

Although I just felt that Zhou Tunan’s argument was not a problem, I also felt something was wrong.

After all, even if the Hu tribe invaded, it seems that there is no danger for those foreigners!

But I didn't think about the subtleties of it thoroughly. Zhou Tunan instilled too many new concepts in them in a short time, leaving them without time to think too much.

At this moment, when the Zhou Tu was pointed south, He Meiqing changed his color: "Yes, even if the people in this dynasty occupied the Middle Land, they would use our poetry, books and texts.

Unfortunately, those foreigners don’t know how to use our things now…”

Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "This is the so-called advantageous civilization. In our area, except for the eras of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, our civilization does not have a very prominent advantage."

For two thousand years since then, our civilization has always had an absolute advantage over the foreign races outside the Great Wall.

The Jing people entered the Middle Land and wanted to rule, they had to convert to Confucianism and study the Four Books and Five Classics.

But now those Westerners come, their civilization is above us and not below us.

It is impossible for us to directly rule us without having to be civilized. This is the reason for the so-called great changes in the past three thousand years!"

Even the three people who were surrounded by Zhou Tunan were almost stunned by Zhou Tunan.

I just said that there is nothing new under the sun. If you solve the current problem, you can find the answers from historical books.

But now it's back, saying it's a new situation that has never happened before...

Dang Shining had the most profound knowledge and said, "Sir, look for the answer from the history of the Spring and Autumn Period?"

Qu Shijin said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many countries, but the situation in the world is quite similar to the current situation..."

The three of them discussed it and felt the more they felt similar.

At this time, Zhou Tunan and others discussed in the garden, and other scholars who had already attracted to listen.

It is the time when young people are most active in their minds and are most likely to accept new things.

Even though the discussion was so hot, I was naturally inevitable to listen. This listening was easily attracted...

Someone interrupted the discussion between He Meiqing and the other two and asked Zhou Tunan directly: "Mr. I have been talking for so long, but I haven't said how to save the world?"

Zhou Tunandao: "You scholars should know a lot about domestic affairs, but don't know much about Western affairs? Do you know where the foundation of the strong national strength of Westerners is?"

Someone said: "Western people have anointed ones!"

Some people also said: "Strong ships and sharp guns!"

Zhou Tunan nodded and said, "Yes, let's not talk about the anointed ones for now. I dare to ask where such a strong ship and a sharp gun came from?

The Jingren imperial court has been engaged in the Westernization Affairs Bureau over the years and has introduced many workshops. Why hasn’t it been effective?”

"How can we say that it is ineffective? The imperial government army has now equipped a lot of new foreign guns and cannons, which are all made by the imperial workshops. They even built foreign ships..." Hu Haibin suddenly said.

It turned out that this person was actually attracted to him. He listened for a long time and suddenly said.

Zhou Tunan thought to himself that Hu Haibin was indeed a great scholar, and his qi cultivation skills were amazing. He had driven Zhou Tunan away long ago, so how could he allow him to bewitch his disciples here!

But Zhou Tunan admired him, but he decided to break the corner of Hu Haibin and cut off Hu Haibin's aura!

He smiled and said, "I dare to conclude that the Westernization Affairs will definitely fail!"

Before Hu Haibin could speak, someone asked: "Oh, why did Mr. Taiping dare to say this?"

Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "Actually, I call Westernization Industry! The Western civilization is called industrial civilization.

The current civilization of Middle Earth can be called agricultural civilization. What we emphasize is that people regard food as the most important thing in Middle Earth.

Even if you are a scholar and a scholar, the best one is to farm and study and pass on the family. I wonder if it is right or not?”

Everyone nodded repeatedly when they said this. Who knows the importance of agriculture in the East? This is something that every scholar and every ordinary person has penetrated into the bones.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, this ranking is correct!

"Why would you like to ask sir, what's going on with the foreign industrial civilization you mentioned?" He Meiqing asked.

"Good question, this is still a big question. Let's start with how Westerners are powerful.

The Western countries have always been similar to our Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, with disputes and wars endlessly.

Countries at the core of the mainland compete for hegemony, just like Qin, Jin, Chu and other countries, fighting for the hegemony of the mainland.

However, those countries on the edge of the mainland cannot compete for the hegemony of the mainland, so they focus on overseas and look for opportunities to do business everywhere..."

Zhou Tunan slowly talked about how small foreign countries went overseas to do business, how to open up new waterways, how to find a new overseas continent, and then gained huge wealth.

Then we will tell the story of the battle between these countries that have obtained huge wealth for maritime trade and to produce more and more efficient commodities, various technologies have begun to be improved.

The invention of the steam engine led to the arrival of the first industrial revolution...

Everyone was fascinated by hearing it.

In this world, the understanding of the Western outside world is definitely not as ignorant and closed as it was in the previous life.

However, it is impossible to sort out the entire Western history and even the development trajectory like Zhou Tunan.

In Zhou Tunan's story, many scholars thoroughly understood the underlying logic of industry.

Finally, I only heard Zhou Tunan say: "There is an idiom called "Being a monkey and a crown". If you wear a monkey with a human clothes, the monkey will not become a human being!

Middle-earth is still the foundation of agricultural civilization. How can we learn from the Western industrial civilization practices?

So I concluded that the Western Conference will definitely fail!”

After saying something loudly, everyone fell into thinking.

Even Hu Haibin did not come out to refute the trouble.

It took a long time before someone lamented: "Can't we Middle Earth do that industry? In this way, aren't we always unable to compare with foreigners and will be beaten by foreigners?"

Zhou Tunandao: "Of course not! Although our Middle Earth is an agricultural civilization, it is also transformed and suitable for industry.
