Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 212 History Is the Premise of Economy
Because Cui Mingyan doesn't understand these things, she usually only hears from her uncle that there are holes everywhere, and everyone is very pessimistic in private, and it is precisely because of this Cui Mingyan and the others that they want to go out.

"Thank you Uncle, I just communicated more with foreigners, and the University of Science and Technology also has a lot of foreign language materials! The earlier Western literature can still be used as a reference. The reference value in recent years is not very valuable, and they are all value-oriented things. , I don't like it very much!"

Faced with Qi Yong's question, Ji Donglai tried his best not to answer Chaogang, after all, almost without exception, Chinese people in this era are superstitious about Big Brother America.

It also includes Qi Yong in front of him, who is in a high position, and it can be seen that the other party should also be a cadre who has been trained abroad.

It is a common problem in the world to preconceive something advanced in your mind, then any rationality from the poor will be regarded as unreasonable and discarded.

"Young man has a serious tone. You don't even look down on Western classic economics. How do you think about economics? Economy is a value. Only with reasonable values ​​can you understand many things. You just went to college and wrote a treatise on economics. You haven't seen many of them, have you?"

Qi Yong keeps looking at Ji Donglai, and now he feels that he can't understand Ji Donglai, at least Qi Yong is not very optimistic about the other party's current opinion.

Every year, the bank hires gold medal lecturers from foreigners to give lectures. Many things are very practical and classic, but Ji Donglai overthrows them with a single sentence, which makes Qi Yong very unhappy.

Especially thinking about the huge holes he has dealt with, Qi Yong feels that the theory of Western economics is getting more and more correct.

"Uncle, don't worry! From my personal point of view, when looking at any economy, you must first look at history. It is unscientific to look at economics without looking at history!"

"Ok?"

This time, not only Qi Yong, but even Qi Yong's wife was stunned at this time, because the other party is also a history teacher, and the other party has taught modern history for so many years, and he has not found any connection between the two.

"Tell me and listen. It's the first time I've heard your point of view, Yanzi, you're a very interesting kid!"

Qi Yong usually reads a lot of history books, and it is good to argue with his wife when he is free. When he heard the other party talk about the connection between history and economy, Qi Yong became interested.

"Hehe, let's just say one thing! Was modern China beaten because it was backward?"

Ji Donglai's words caught all three people present, including Qi Yong's wife, a teacher of modern history.All the textbooks the opponent learns are based on this theory, and if they fall behind, they will be beaten.

This point of view has been adopted in China for more than 100 years. How can Ji Donglai change it?
"Yanzi, your little friend is interesting, what's his name?"

This time Qi Yong's wife went to battle in person, Cui Mingyan pinched Ji Donglai hard, her eyes were full of reproach, Ji Donglai grinned in pain.

"Ji Donglai, I want you to be brave. My aunt is a teacher at the High School Affiliated to the National People's University, and she teaches modern history. Your little point of view is not enough to refute from my aunt. Why don't you apologize quickly?"

Seeing Ji Donglai's appearance, Cui Mingyan winked.

"Don't use Yanzi, come here! Historians and educators have studied it for almost 100 years. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. These six words are worth a thousand dollars. We allow you to have different opinions, but you have to state the basis, otherwise we There is no way to rely on these studies of history!"

Qi Yong's wife waved at Cui Mingyan, and Cui Mingyan patted Ji Donglai, secretly saying to let you show off, and Ji Donglai also secretly felt bitter, secretly thinking that he was talking too much, but now he had no choice but to speak.

"Ahem, auntie, I really didn't know you taught history, that..."

"Continue to say, you must have your own basis in your heart! Yanzi said that you are in the industry, and people in industry pay attention to logic. We also want to see how it is different from the liberal arts students we do! You are wrong It doesn't matter, after all, you are a junior!"

Ji Donglai wanted to prevaricate, but a teacher from the other party came up with a twist. Ji Donglai knew that he couldn't do it anymore, so he smacked his mouth.

"Well, yes! Let me ask you a question first, Auntie. Were the construction of various disciplines in modern times introduced by us or forcibly imported from outside?"

When Ji Donglai came here and took a sip from the water glass, the other party was slightly taken aback, because this matter was not recorded in the history books, but the other party really knew about it.

From the Reform Movement of 1901 to [-], there was a lot of right and wrong in the middle, and it really seemed to be controversial. The other party didn't know where Ji Donglai's arguments were, so he took a sip of the water glass.

"What do you think?"

As an adult, the other party will not be easy to target.

"Foreign input, including the six words that if you fall behind, you will be beaten, because since the Boxer indemnity, almost all of the money has been used to build new schools! The core of the new school is that you will be beaten if you fall behind! So these views are not Chinese. It was researched by the elites, but it was imported from outside, and it has been digested and absorbed by us after 100 years of chewing, which is reasonable! But what I want to say is that it is the same as opium!"

After Ji Dong said this sentence, he stopped talking, leaving the other three people looking at each other in blank dismay, especially Cui Mingyan's aunt, whose certain ideas at this time were directly shaken.

Because Ji Donglai’s viewpoints are connected with historical events, it is reasonable and reasonable. When it came to the Opium War, and the Gengzi paid compensation, why did foreigners knock on the door of the country again and again?

and many more!

"No, if you don't fall behind and you will be beaten, how do you explain the Opium War?"

Cui Mingyan's aunt thought about it for a while, and immediately thought of something different, Ji Donglai laughed again this time.

"Auntie, Humen destroys opium, and there are foreigners' warships parked at the port, and the place where opium is destroyed is in Humen! Why don't foreigners attack Humen and Guangzhou, but enter Tianjin Wei?"

"If it was really backward at that time, wouldn't it be the same to fight anywhere? Humen destroys opium, fights here, and conquers here to reflect one's national prestige. Why not? Instead, go north to fight Tianjin Wei? "

Ji Donglai didn't want to engage in meaningless debates with the other party, because after 100 years, many things have been deeply rooted, and after countless people's embellishments, some views have been distorted, but they have been papered seamlessly.

It is very simple to overthrow the other party's theory, just let the other party use those theories to explain contemporary things instead of going around on this point of view.

There is a saying that if your theory is really easy to use, then use it to explain other things in general, and if everything can be explained, then you are an axiom.

"This one……"

This time, Cui Mingyan's aunt was speechless, because the other party hadn't thought about it when she was giving a lecture before, and strictly speaking, she hadn't thought about it deeply.
