Can you live forever

Chapter 253 The way of heaven is clear, the essence of industry

"We might as well put aside the theoretical framework of twins and think about the problem from another angle."

"There is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching": The way of heaven, is it like drawing a bow? The higher ones suppress the lower ones, the lower ones lift them up, the surplus ones damage them, and the deficient ones make up for them."

"Lao Tzu has made the truth very clear. To move forward, civilization must follow the way of heaven, but it must also face up to the way of humanity."

"If there is more than enough damage, it is necessary to make up for what is not enough. This is the basis for maintaining the stability of civilization."

"It is the essence of the operation of human society, and the essence of all rules constructed based on the human heart."

"All systems are built by people."

"People must have good and evil. No matter how impartial and selfless people are, they must have a position. Since they have a position, there must be partiality. Some people benefit, and others must suffer."

"Whether it is damage to the top or damage to the bottom, it is the way of man."

"Do you agree?"

Wang Jiangque understood what Zhang Zhixiang meant. He first wanted to classify the twins into the category of "the way of man", and the way of man cannot solve the problem of civilization, it needs the way of heaven...

"Will it be too metaphysical?" she asked.

Zhang Zhixiang smiled and said, "No matter which twin you are, you need to develop productivity, right? The development of productivity cannot be avoided without industrialization. Industrialization is a process of increasing capital density. Do you think it belongs to heaven or humanity? ?”

Humane, no doubt.

The industrial-peasant scissors gap does not only appear in the internal circulation, its expansion in the external market is also based on the unequal exchange of the value of industrial and agricultural products.

Industry must benefit in order to develop.

And the agricultural surplus is constantly exploited...

"Agricultural surplus, surplus... Agriculture must have a surplus to support industry, otherwise as long as there is a 10% gap, the result will not be a 10% increase in prices, but an increase until 10% of the population starves to death."

"The problem with Qinyuan is not the system."

"It's because its agricultural surplus is too small to support industry at all. Only the Ming Dynasty, the Guangtu giants, we have thousands of years of farming experience, and the continuous improvement of agricultural surplus has the basis for industrialization."

Wang Jiangque seemed to understand the core.

It was only at this moment that she connected that set of theories from the future with the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty, and understood why civilization developed in such a way.

Industry was necessarily born of agriculture.

If a civilization is not even farming, it is similar to the Mongols on the grasslands. They have a hard time even surviving. How can they develop various types of industrial technologies?
Among the products of Ming Dynasty, apart from tea, the most in-demand product on the grasslands is...iron pot.

The Mongol Empire spanned the world. The Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for more than [-] years, and now it is unified again under the leadership of Al Dahan. But the Mongols can’t even make iron pots well. Is this the reason for lack of technology?
No.

It is the nomads on the grassland that cannot support a civilization at all...

The birth of industry must be the result of a civilization maintaining a large amount of agricultural surplus for a long time, and if a civilization does not even develop agriculture, even if it industrializes, industry is not born in its own country.

The road to industrialization of Xi Luozhou in later generations.

It is precisely because of their dissatisfaction after accepting Daming's knowledge and technology.

The first is that they died enough people because of the plague, the population was small, the land remained unchanged, and there was more agricultural surplus, but this was still not enough to support their industrialization, so they wanted to colonize and expand.

It doesn't matter if the efficiency of agricultural production is low, as long as it is piled up according to the quantity.

Shangzhou has plenty of fertile land...

Wang Jiangque understood the reasons for the successful industrialization of the Xiluo people, and immediately broke through the limitations of the twin theory, and also understood that Qinyuan's various problems were not her fault, let alone unsolvable.

"I was wrong from the beginning."

"The verification of the theory cannot be satisfied by Qinyuan at all. It must be carried out on the basis of Ming Dynasty. The Qingyang Mountain Rebel Army... must obtain the decision-making power of Ming Dynasty."

Having said this, Wang Jiangque paused, and she turned to look at Zhang Zhixiang.

As such.

They were against each other... He laughed.

Wang Jiangque's eyelashes moved slightly, she turned her face away, and said in a low voice: "You mean, we were originally together, not against each other, but joined forces? We want to fight for the power of Daming together, and then use it for the public."

"To practice the way of heaven?"

Seeing that she was so smart, Zhang Zhixiang quickly understood the key point, and he was also in a happy mood. He walked back leisurely and lay down on the grass.

Said: "This is the truth that has been practiced since ancient times."

"Look, take land annexation as an example. At the end of each dynasty, land annexation was extremely serious. Farmers couldn't survive and began to rebel. The new dynasty began to equalize land and exempt taxation, and developed prosperous times one after another."

"Isn't this the difference between public and private power?"

"Civilization is advancing, but the pace of advancement is not so staged, but the rise and fall of dynasties is another kind of cycle. The essence of this cycle is that there is no breakthrough in the public and private power."

"Quantitative changes are accumulating, and a qualitative breakthrough is needed."

"And, look."

"After the fall of Qin Dynasty, ten houses and nine empties, the population dropped sharply, but in only seven or eighty years, by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national power reached its peak, and it was able to chase the Huns to the north."

"During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the destruction was severe enough, right? But when the Sui and Tang Dynasties came, it took only a few decades, and it was an unprecedented prosperity."

"How many years have the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms been fighting? The powerful families are all gone, but how about the establishment of the Song Dynasty?"

"But after a few decades of hard work, you will become unimaginably rich."

"The Song Dynasty ruled the hips, and the land of the Central Plains was lost for nearly 200 years. After the Mongolian massacre, and the Yuan Dynasty ravaged for more than 30 years, but once my Ming Dynasty was established, it took only [-] years. The prosperity of the Yongnian period will be eternal. Not yet."

"You said, can our civilization, our country, be considered purely from the perspective of capital?"

"Every rise and fall, isn't it a mess? How can there be any capital?"

"But the rise is so fast, and it is more prosperous every time."

"What's the reason?"

"The reason is that the agricultural surplus of our past dynasties has been accumulating. Our knowledge and technology have been accumulating in the thousands of years of development history."

"As long as there is enough agricultural surplus input, our knowledge and technology can fully explode."

"As for Daming, it is already at the point of qualitative change. We have accumulated enough knowledge and technology, but the imperial court has no control over Daming at all, and the agricultural surplus cannot be invested in industrial production at all."

"However."

"The node has arrived, the preparations for the industrial revolution have been completed, and the fruits of science have been borne. Even if there is no large-scale agricultural surplus investment that is entitled to the public, the Ming Dynasty has been developing at an extremely fast rate in the past hundred years."

"And what is unbalanced with development is our power. Without the support of the law of heaven that the power belongs to the public, human nature will eventually lead to the collapse of Ming Dynasty."

"In the next few decades, we will come to a threshold of prosperity and death."

"If it was the previous law, it would be the replacement of dynasties, and then the industrial revolution would start in the new dynasties, but it doesn't matter whether it is destiny or the inevitable result of development."

"This time in history, there is no 'cycle', but a cycle is over, and the assessment at the end of the cycle is coming."

"Crossing the past, civilization enters a new chapter."

"I can't make it through, Monkey King is crushed under Wuzhi Mountain, and will suffer another 500 years of catastrophe!"

　Thanks for the 100 starting point coin reward of "Is this nickname not good enough?"
