Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 796 How Difficult

After Yang Reform received the news, he sat there alone for a long time in silence.

A few days ago, the woman mentioned by Liu Zongzhou, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, hanged herself.

Even though Yang Reform had never met that woman, and he didn't even know the name of that woman, the death of this woman still weighed heavily in Yang Reform's heart. The woman turned into a symbol and stayed in Yang Reform's heart .

A life just disappeared without any waves.If she lived in the 21st century, maybe she would not have such troubles, maybe she could live a colorful life.

May she live in the 21st century in the next life, maybe there is the paradise of her dreams, Yang Reform murmured blessings.

"Your Majesty..., Your Majesty..." Seeing the emperor sitting there alone for a long time, Wang Chengen was worried that something might happen to the emperor, so he finally asked.

"... um..., what's the matter?" Yang Reform had finished blessing, he let out a long sigh, and returned to reality.

"...Your Majesty, the tea is cold, do you want to make another cup?" Wang Chengen said hastily.

"Oh, is it cold? Let's make another cup..." Yang Reform said.With the pace of industrialization, the conflicts of the times are gradually intensifying. Yang Reform knows that this is inevitable, and pain is certain.

What should I do?This problem seems to be out of consideration. Apart from continuing to promote the process of industrialization, I seem to have no other way to go. I have achieved relatively great success in material changes, such as steel, coal, cement, machinery, and biology. , manufacturing and other fields already have a certain foundation and starting point, and the seeds planted have germinated, and it is only a matter of time before they grow up; Little progress has been made.

The inherent concepts of Confucianism or traditional society are too strong, so strong that even a strong emperor like himself is helpless in front of him.

Although I have prepared a lot of things in this area, I have taken a lot of measures, and even said that in order to open a gap in this area, I am even tearing up Confucianism, but the progress is too slow.

The spiritual change is unlikely to be like the material change. If it is impossible, it can be cheated. This spiritual thing, apart from changing slowly and gradually adapting to the new era with one generation or even several generations, seems to be impossible. There is no other effective way, the braids on the head are easy to cut, but the braids in the heart are not so easy to cut off.Of course, there is no other way. Violent revolution can reverse people's spiritual concepts in a very short period of time, but Yang Reform, as the emperor, cannot promote violent revolution. The rest is to slowly use time to change everything.

Whether it is from strongly supporting reading, tearing Confucianism apart with expectations, and tearing apart the ethics and morality that have shrouded the world for 2000 years; pushing Taoist Zhang Xianyong out to force Confucianism to make improvements; or promising Kong Yinzhi to become a saint and let him participate in the change ; or to recruit foreigners and force the change of Ming's local values. None of these measures will take time, and none of them will take more than ten years, or even decades, to gradually achieve the desired effect.

"These are not enough!..." Yang Reform murmured to himself. The incident he encountered this time made Yang Reform realize that what he had done in changing the spirit, changing the mind, and changing social ethics Action and preparation are far from enough, and I have to put more energy in this area.

"... Complement each other..., that's not wrong..." Yang Reform murmured again.Changes in the spiritual world and changes in the material world must complement each other. In the past, Yang Reform’s feelings were not as deep as they are today. Only today, Yang Reform understands the truth of this, and he has a deeper understanding of the four characters of complementing each other. .

There is no material change, and it is impossible to change spiritually. Even if a few people can accidentally comprehend the method, it may not last long, let alone gain the recognition of the whole society. Knocking on the door of the country, I am afraid that I am still alive in my dream; but only the material change, the spiritual world cannot keep up, and this change cannot be successful. so what?Not a laughing stock in the end?In the Republic of China, other people were aircraft, tanks and aircraft carriers, and even atomic bombs were at war, but China still stayed at the level of light weapons such as rifles and grenades, which was not at the same level. In the industrial age, that was just a dream of China.

In the Republic of China, although there were many people who opened their eyes to see the world at that time, they were also working hard for China's reform and progress, even at the expense of sacrifice, but these people have struggled for decades, and China is still growing. It is still a dream of China to wander between agricultural society and industrial society and enter industrialization. Although the name of the country has changed, the people are still the same people. How difficult is it to change?Of course, this dream is much clearer than the one in the late Qing Dynasty, and the countless blood and lives are not without any effect.

Only after arriving in New China and having another brand-new spiritual world, can we stand up. Under this spiritual outlook, after changing the material world with great determination, China has made a qualitative leap. However, despite this This kind of hyperactive, almost completely transformed spiritual world has changed for decades before China can still be considered to have jumped into the door of industrialization, and it will be several decades before China dares to say that it has entered the era of industrialization.

difficult!How difficult! !

Although Yang Reform has figured out the historical node and the main points of the process of the Ming Dynasty from the traditional agricultural society to the industrial society, it stands to reason that he should be happy and fortunate, but he couldn't help smiling bitterly in his heart, even shaking his head, Calculated in this way, the time I need to spend may be 30 years, maybe two 30 years..., such a long time, even myself, who is known as an otaku, feels horrible, it is too long, it is really It is too difficult...

Who knows how difficult it is?Who can I talk to?High and low, who can be your bosom friend?

Yang Reform picked up the cold tea and took a sip. It was bitter and slightly cold, and went straight to his chest.

"Big companion, what has Sun Yuanhua been up to lately?" Yang Reform clearly realized what he should do, and immediately asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been busy repairing the dam on the Western Hills recently..." Wang Chengen replied immediately, he is the chief steward of the palace, and he needs to know all these things.

"Oh, how's the repair going?" Yang Reform asked.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard that there are tens of thousands of people working on the dam. The dam is being repaired very quickly. If it takes another one or two months, it will probably be completed..." Wang Chengen replied.

"...Oh, really?" Yang Reformed.Yang Reform knows that his spiritual efforts still have a lot of shortcomings. If he does not fundamentally change, things like the woman who was hanged today will still happen. If these problems are not solved, talking about industrialization is just saying daydream.Now I need to nail a stake to the spiritual world of the Chinese people, a stake that can change the spiritual world of the world, and this stake is the Human Altar.

Yang Reform knew that he had to build the Altar of Human Beings as soon as possible. Only with the help of this stake could he nail an unbreakable stake in the spiritual world of the world. Perhaps this would be more conducive to the transformation of the spiritual world, otherwise, I may not be able to see the era of industrialization in my lifetime.

The presence of steam engines does not represent the industrial age, and the existence of railways does not represent the industrial age. If these two things are regarded as signs of the industrial age, Yang Reform thinks that it may be enough for the West, but it may not be enough for China.What can adapt to the West may not necessarily adapt to China.If it were that simple, then China should have entered the industrial age at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when railways and steam engines were ready-made, no matter how bad it was, China would also have entered the industrial age during the Republic of China. Not only steam engines, but also internal combustion engines and electricity were readily available, but they were new. China has been excited for decades, and has been seeking change with the spirit of excitement for decades, so that China has entered the era of industrialization.

Yang Reform knows that if the foundation of this spiritual world is not solid, if he asks for an industrial revolution, it is really a wish.

"Decree, let Sun Yuanhua come into the palace, I have something to ask him..." Yang Reform said.At this time, Yang Reform may have never been so eager to build the Human Altar.Although the construction of the altar of humanity is under discussion and demonstration, the enthusiasm has not diminished much.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen promised.

"By the way, what's new about the human altar?" Yang Reform asked again. In fact, Yang Reform knew this matter well, but he still asked it out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Shi Shoufu is in charge of this matter. The servants only know that they seem to have been collecting suggestions from people all over the world. I heard that Shi Shoufu receives a huge number of letters every day. It was sent by mail..." Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, I got it..." Yang Reformed said, which was actually no different from the progress he knew.The progress of cultivating the Human Altar does not depend on the progress of Shi Fenglai, but depends on the progress of Sun Yuanhua's demonstration and experiment. If everything goes well, it may take a year or two before the construction can start. Originally, I thought that repairing the Human Altar would be simple. , but with the deepening of demonstrations and experiments, Yang Reform knew that a year and a half was far from enough.

[I would like to say sorry to the book friends first, I am really sorry, Kawen has been really stuck recently, and the update is a bit ineffective.On the one hand, I have been thinking about the end of this book, which has been written for two full years; on the other hand, I have been thinking about the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty. I feel that industrialization is not such a simple matter, perhaps not as simple as it is commonly understood. The book can't end, and this is where the otaku Kaiwen is... A few new things can't represent industrialization. Material changes are easy, but spiritual changes are too difficult. Therefore, I've been thinking about it recently, and I still try my best, work hard, and try my best. In a way that nerds can understand and express, try to write this question clearly as possible as the end of this book.I believe that an industrialized Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to meet the needs of all kinds of fantasies, and there is no need for nerds to write them down one by one. 】
