I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 90 Unity is Strength
Almost everyone was looking forward to Chen Yaozu's answer, but his face was full of disappointment at this moment.

"You don't even know what you want, yet you ask me how to change it.

Do you know what it will change into?
You want to change the world without even figuring out why you're fighting!
How to work hard?
In what direction should we work towards? "

Everyone present was silent; they didn’t know!
Before today, they even thought that everything about America was the best in the world.

But in fact, America before 1980 was the best era in the world.

Because at that time state capitalism was practiced, the whole country and even half of Europe was like a chessboard, and everything went according to plan.

It is a true strategic planning economy.

Because they have a powerful enemy, and because of this, half of Europe will unite behind America and help him fight this powerful enemy.

Everything develops according to plan, everything must be consistent with the plan, and no disobedience is allowed, because it is a matter of life and death.

At that time, America was truly at its peak. Even ordinary people could live a good life by working in factories.

One person working can even support a whole family.

But, that was before.

After 91 years, the most powerful enemy of America and even half of Europe fell.

From then on, America and half of Europe were no longer threatened, and they dominated the entire world.

Without external pressure, the powerful strategic planned economic system began to fall apart and began to develop freely, and at a rapid pace.

Then it quickly hollowed out in just a few years or even a dozen years.

In 99, in order to get rid of America's economic control, Europe created the euro, intending to break the economic circle controlled by the US dollar, making America, which had already been rapidly liberalizing, suffer.

However, they later seized the opportunity. After Saddam Hussein in Baghdad announced that he would use the euro instead of the US dollar to settle oil transactions, they acted quickly and slaughtered Saddam Hussein like a chicken with a bag of laundry detergent, scaring all the monkeys in the US dollar economic circle and stabilizing the situation.

Then it took 20 years to suppress the euro to the point where it could not leave half of Europe, but the rapid liberalization had already caused industrial transfer.

America, which lost a large number of factories, has also created a lot of unemployed people and a lot of poor people in the past 30 years.

In the past, America needed ordinary people to support the entire industry, so it was still okay for ordinary people.

But after breaking away from the strategic planned economy controlled by state capitalism, America's industries returned to the control of personal capital.

What they care about is money and being able to make more money, so it is only natural for them to shift their industries to Asia, to countries with lower labor costs.

As for the hollowing out of industries, what does the life and death of ordinary people have to do with capitalists?
In the silence, the woman in the yellow hat had the courage to ask the question in her heart again: "So, Mr. Archbishop, what kind of world do you think is the best?"

This is a bit of a big question.

But it was not impossible to answer, Chen Yaozu asked back: "In what capacity do you think you are to ask this question?

Because you sit in different places, you get different answers.

For example, America's consortium, the wealthy, the current upper class, those who control the superstructure of this country.

They would think that America is now the best country in the world.

Here, if you have money, you can do whatever you want, freely and unrestrainedly!
But if I stand in the perspective of those homeless people, or in your perspective, I can only say that this world is cold, because you have not received the gentle treatment of this world. "

He paused, thought about it, and then continued: "Actually, I want to tell a story!"

The people below were all silent, knowing that this purple-robed leader was telling a story, and it must be a story with a hidden purpose.

“My hometown is a relatively remote rural area.

When I was very young, I often listened to the grandparents in the village telling stories from the past.

Seventy or eighty years ago, the fields, forests and rivers in our village and even in more than a dozen villages in half of the town were all owned by a wealthy family named Bao.

The people in these dozen or so villages did not have their own land and could only farm for the rich man Bao's family. Every season they had to hand over 80% of their harvest as taxes and rent.

Even if you go up the mountain to chop firewood, you have to pay firewood fees every year, because the mountains where you chop firewood belong to someone else.

At that time, if you were lucky, you could harvest 400 kilograms of rice from one acre of land, but after paying the rent and taxes, you would only be left with 80 kilograms.

How can this be enough to eat?
Therefore, most farmers at that time could only keep the rice husks intact and grind them into bran powder to make cakes.

But it was still not enough to eat, so they had to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, so that they could barely have a harvest until the next year.

It was also because of this that many children at that time did not grow up.

I had two uncles who didn’t have enough to eat at that time and starved to death (true story).

Later, in 49, the situation changed!

Farmers and workers are now in charge, have their own land, and can finally have enough food to eat!

You have no idea how powerful it is for the farmers who have been hungry for so many years to actually have a full meal!

Everyone is afraid that the days of having enough food to eat are only a brief moment, so they are determined to defend their right to have enough food to eat.

Even if we are facing a coalition of 17 countries!
Even though the difference in weapons and equipment is huge, they can still hold their own and bring the most powerful alliance of countries in the world to the negotiating table!

People at that time just wanted to have enough food to eat in the future, to be able to face everyone in the world and eat with their backs held high!
That’s what they were asking for at that time!”

He raised his head somewhat proudly, looked at the people below who some understood and some did not, and continued, "I don't know what you want.

I don’t even know what the best world is in your heart.

But in my heart, my hometown is the best in the world, even though it is just a developing country.

There, if there are childless elderly people who reach a certain age, they will receive subsidies from the state and will be sent to nursing homes, where there will be special caregivers to support them, even if they have never paid any pension insurance.

Transportation is free, and many medical services are free, but of course there is no need to queue for these free medical services.

Even if you are young and disabled, you can apply for a disability certificate, which will reimburse your travel, transportation and many medical expenses.

If the disability is too severe, the state will provide subsidies. Even if it is so severe that the person has difficulty moving and has no one to take care of him, the street office must have someone visit the person every day to take care of him.

If you don’t do it well, you will be held accountable!
And it's not just one person who is held accountable, sometimes it's a whole series of responsibilities.

If you are an orphan, you will receive an orphan living allowance and a scholarship for going to school.

In the East.

We have the most fair education in the world. Everything depends on grades. As long as your grades are up to par, you can get into a prestigious school without a letter of recommendation.

Elementary and junior high schools are free, but although they are free, they do not provide the happy education that we have in America, nor do they have the same teaching quality as the elite education in private schools here.

University tuition is very cheap, usually around a few hundred or a thousand dollars per semester.

If the family is really too poor, they won't be unable to go to school like America, nor will they have to borrow usury.

If you are from a poor family, there are grants and scholarships. If you cannot apply for grants or scholarships, there are interest-free loans.

As long as it is a decent university, there will be interest-free loans!
Everyone has fair opportunities, a fair college entrance examination system, and everything is based on performance.

As long as you can pass the exam, you have the opportunity to complete your studies.

Even if you can get into a top university, you can basically spend no money and still make money every year!
The college entrance examination system in the East is all about fairness, fairness, and damn fairness!

In America, even if you have good grades, can an ordinary person get in without a letter of recommendation? "

"In the East, the top leaders are most concerned about ordinary people. Even in the most remote mountainous areas, where there is only one family, they will try their best to provide them with water and electricity.

We should even build roads for them, even if it costs a huge amount of money and brings no benefits, we should still do it.

This is the respect for ordinary people!"

At this point, Chen Yaozu looked down and said, "Of course, not everyone is satisfied with such a country.

There will still be people complaining!
They will complain that their life is hard, their work is tiring, and their salary is low.

But they never thought that they did not study hard in that fair educational environment.

Now I can only complain on the Internet!

Complain about the world!
I don't know what kind of world you want to be in.

I think,
A fair educational environment that provides ordinary people with upward mobility and the opportunity to change their class through hard work.

A living environment that can provide adequate care for the weak, ordinary people, the elderly and orphans.

And a world where there is universal respect for ordinary people is the best world I think.”

To be honest!

The world described by Chen Yaozu sounded a bit like a utopia to everyone present.

This doesn't look like a developing country!

Even America can't do this, how can a developing country possibly do it?

This is a rational question, but it also arouses their longing.

That's right!

It seems to be a common and normal thing in the eyes of Orientals, but to many Americans, it is something to look forward to.

In fact, America also has such a policy.

But it’s not so fair.

For people with disabilities who have difficulty in moving, there will be volunteers to provide home care, but it is not that thoughtful and it costs money.

Most importantly, the educational equity that the purple archbishop talked about is what they desire most.

After all, it concerns the next generation.

“So how can we achieve this fairness?

Like you Orientals, take up arms and fight?"

Chen Yaozu saw that the time had come and hurriedly smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, it's too early to do this, and our strength is still small. What we need to do now is to unite.

Unite the majority of people, unite all ordinary people.

There is strength in unity!

Let more people know what they want!
Only when all those who know what they want unite together can they put forward their demands to the consortium capitalists!
Only then can you get the fairness you want!"

"And now, if you join my sect, I can help you unite!"
