Nine hundred and forty-eighth section rectification (2)

Bo Shi looked at the scene that appeared in front of him: the turbid river water, the garbage that was almost blocked together, and the rotting dead fish and shrimp floating in it.

And beside the river bank, there are workshops one after another, jingling, banging, banging, banging.

Countless black sewage and various kinds of garbage are discharged from the ground and ditches into the Wei River in a chaotic and disorderly manner.

Each worker, wielding various tools, worked sweatily.

The vicious supervisors and stewards patrolled everywhere, and if they were not careful, they would be scolded or beaten.

All the people, from the management to the workers, and even the handymen responsible for cleaning, are full of hostility.

In his heart, anger was burning and his conscience was trembling.

As the saying goes: A gentleman is far away from the kitchen.

For China's scholar-bureaucrats and nobles, their moral obsession with cleanliness is very strong in many cases.

Especially, when something has nothing to do with them.

At this time, Bo Shi heard his king's question again: "But I can't let them perish!"

"Do you know the reason?"

Bo Shi, of course, couldn't wait to know the answer.

So, he lowered his head and said: "I am stupid, please teach me..."

"Because..." Liu Che said in a deep voice, "This is the future!"

No one knows or thinks that these primitive, simple and even inhumane intensive handicraft industries will eventually lead to industrialization.

The significance of industrialization to human beings is as important as hundreds of thousands of years ago, when human ancestors moved from forests to grasslands for the first time. They were forced to stand upright and free their hands.

Industrialization, even the simplest and most basic industrialization.

It is enough for one nation and one country to dominate the entire world.

This is the only path that can allow China to break out of the historical cycle.

However, no one can know except the time traveler.

In everyone's eyes, the facts are right in front of them.

Everything in front of us is the product of sin and the devil.

They pollute the environment and produce all kinds of foul-smelling wastewater.

They occupied the land and prevented the people from farming. Instead, they came to the workshops and were raped and beaten by the overseers and stewards.

They don't even treat workers as human beings.

In these workshops, at least one-third of the workers work in shackles.

No matter from a moral or ideological perspective, no scholar-officials or nobles could accept such a 'future'.

At least, Bo Shi couldn't see any beauty in it.

Some of them are just damaging to the environment of the country and full of hostility, without any kind of warm interpersonal relationships at all.

In Bo Shi's eyes, this place is a powder keg!

It’s a Daze Township!

The workers here seem to be just waiting for someone to shout out, "The prince, general, Xiang Ning has the right to do it".

He raised his head, looked at Liu Che, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, what I see with my eyes is only sin!"

Liu Che nodded in agreement.

Capital will instinctively act and exploit for the sake of profit.

The profit-seeking capital will trample and tear apart all the old warm interpersonal relationships and social order, and will put a clear price tag on everything and display it to the world.

There is nothing that capital cannot trade and sell.

but……

Who would have thought that in the darkest, dirtiest and most shameful stench, unprecedented civilization and an unprecedentedly developed world could be nourished?

Even the two people who wrote Capital could not have anticipated the role that capital could play and the promotion of world progress.

Even the man who called on the world's proletariat to smash their shackles could not foresee that after industrial development and the progress of the times, mankind would actually be able to achieve that point.

From the birth of the first industrial revolution, it took mankind less than three hundred years to reach the threshold of the era of great intelligence where machines produce machines.

The dawn of machines that exploit humans is beginning to dawn.

Although, the current Han Dynasty cannot be said to be an industrial revolution.

Even the word industry has not been touched yet.

The most advanced hydraulic forging hammer machinery, even to its death, is only the European medieval level.

The current Han Dynasty's overall technical level and basic accumulation are roughly at the level of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Even, in many aspects, especially basic materials and basic subjects, it completely lagged behind the Tang and Song Dynasties.

That is to say, it surpassed the Tang and Song Dynasties in terms of ideology, national mobilization capabilities and some special projects.

At this level, Liu Che will definitely not hear the roar of steam engines or see the grand spectacle of queuing up to be shot in his lifetime.

What he can do is actually lay a solid foundation, accumulate skills, and be prepared.

Let future generations live in such an era.

However, Liu Che could not tell his ministers and the people of the world about such a future.

Because no Chinese wants a world where the sky is shrouded in smog, the rivers are dyed in various colors by sewage, and even the air is filled with PM2.5.

Even if you tell them that this is only temporary, as long as they endure it for a hundred or two hundred years, when technology advances, these situations will disappear.

This is because China’s level of civilization is really too high.

The higher the level of civilization, the lower the tolerance for pollution and the higher the requirements for one's own living environment.

Therefore, Mencius said to King Xuan of Qi: A gentleman is like an animal: when he sees it alive, he cannot bear to see it die; when he hears its sound, he cannot bear to eat its flesh. Therefore, a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen.

These are all good, excellent, even great ideas.

Later Western Europeans had to wait until after the Third Industrial Revolution, when they put on suits and ties, to realize this, and then the Holy Mother's Heart became uncontrollable.

Even terrible organizations like Animal Protection have appeared, and there are even many things where animal rights are higher than human rights.

But, precisely, this kind of thinking is the enemy of industry and the enemy of capital.

Industrialization will inevitably pollute and destroy the environment.

And capital will inevitably trample all public order and good customs in the world, and tear all the old tenderness to pieces.

Liu Che met Bo Shi's serious and serious eyes, and he decided to use military language to explain all this to Bo Shi.

"Have you ever heard of the story of Song Xianggong?" Liu Che asked.

"Wei!" Bo Shi nodded.

"Before Xianggong, when gentlemen fought, they would not drum up or form a line, nor would they hurt two hairs, nor would they be seriously injured!" Liu Che said, "This is all the teachings of the previous king!"

Before the biggest idiot in the Spring and Autumn Period, Song Xianggong, in fact, this was how battles were fought.

Everyone plays like a sports meeting or even a picnic.

Only when conquering the Yi and Di people did it look like a war.

After Duke Xiang, the war turned completely cruel.

All kinds of tactics and tricks emerge in endlessly.

In the end, Bai Qi killed Zhao prisoners in a trap, and Xiang Yu killed Qin prisoners in a trap, which were completely unimaginable in the third generation.

In the third generation, Tang Wu attacked Jie and fought against Ming Tiao. After the victory, Jie was not even killed, but chose to be exiled and enfeoffed the Xia royal family.

King Wu defeated the Shang Dynasty and even preserved many Shang Dynasty elders.

The Song Dynasty, Chen Dynasty, Qizi Dynasty, Guzhu Kingdom are all descendants of the Shang Dynasty.

He even made King Zhou's son a candidate.

This is unimaginable today.

Today, war has completely moved towards victory at any cost.

"However, Gu Liang said: If you abandon your teacher to be a ruler, who will your people think you are a ruler?" Liu Che said: "Who still praises and respects Duke Xiang now? It's probably just those Lu Ru who are crazy!"

"

"And..." Liu Che cast his gaze towards the ruins of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, in the distance: "Before Shang Jun's reform, the world was based on mine fields, but after Shang Jun, there were no mine fields in all countries!"

"These are all examples of old roads being eliminated by new roads!"

"After seeing these affairs and workshops in front of you, you think they are bad and want to be eradicated. I can understand!"

"This is just like the ministers of Zongzhou saw the Chu army in the Battle of Hong, and the nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period saw Lord Shang making reforms..."

"However, history will prove that this is all right!"

Finally, Liu Che used a classic sentence to end and express his determination: "The book says: Although Zhou is an old country, its destiny is to be renewed! The same is true for my world!"

Many people understood what Liu Che said, but many people did not understand, or they understood but still pretended not to understand.

But this does not prevent Liu Che from telling everyone clearly what he meant: I have sealed the lid on this matter!

Many people were silent, many bowed their heads in deep thought.

"Your Majesty..." Finally, Bo Shi, who had been silent all the time, asked: "Since these things are not needed now, why don't Your Majesty wait until they are needed?"

This is also the sentiment of most people present.

Everyone thinks: OK, you are the emperor and you have the final say.

But, why not leave such a terrible thing, such a thing that may change the world, to future generations?

For young freshmen and petty bourgeoisie, this is indeed the best choice.

This is a chronic disease buried deep in the bones of Chinese scholar-officials.

In various eras and dynasties, they have different performances.

Cherish your own feathers and refuse to get your hands dirty even if you live or die.

Whenever possible, they will do everything possible to avoid getting their hands dirty.

He even gave up many decisions that might change the world.

Liu Che sighed, he felt a little lonely.

In this world, there are probably only three or five people who can understand him.

But, in front of him, there was no one.

"You don't understand!" Liu Che said solemnly: "By the time it is needed, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

In this world, in the process of human evolution and the journey of civilization progress.

Industrialization and the emergence of capital are historical events that will definitely happen.

Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

If we don't start early, what if the butterfly effect occurs and Europe begins to study and light up the technological tree leading to the industrial revolution in the Roman era?

The only way is to get ahead of others, light up this technology tree first, develop it, and seize the opportunity.

In this way, the peoples of Europe and other continents will always eat ashes behind Zhu Xia.

History has proven that no matter what kind of system or technology it is, it will eventually reach its peak in China and can no longer be surpassed by others.

This is true of bronze technology, the feudal system, and even the bureaucracy and family politics.

In the vast course of history, the Xia people developed everything they came into contact with to the extreme.

Even, many things have become culture.

There is no way!

Liu Che sighed in his heart and had no choice but to resort to a trick.

"I often dream about Emperor Gao, Emperor Taizong and the late emperors, and my ancestors and kings..." Liu Che raised his head and looked up at the sky, and everyone on the left and right lowered their heads to listen: "Emperor Gao told me: I want seven

To govern, you must first do everything well!"

"Emperor Taizong taught me: Only instruments can bring about great harmony!"

"Taiyi God is more like revealing the future to me, allowing me to see the world a thousand years from now. In that world, my descendants will all be gentlemen. With the power of one man, they can rule thousands of fields, and there are wise men who can use iron oxen and wooden horses."

, cultivate the world, and the grains will ripen three times a year, so everyone in the world can have meat to eat, clothes to wear, and even the elderly in the world have already had something to rely on and have little to support them!"

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

If other people talk such nonsense, they will either be sent to the imperial court, or they will definitely be sent to the government to be punished for the crime of deceiving the public with evil words.

But, the person who said this is the emperor.

Then this is the truth!

If this emperor had proven himself in practice before, the world would have no other choice but to bow down and bow.

However, Liu Che knew very well that this matter could only convince those around him who he considered loyal.

Besides, he couldn't even convince the courtiers.

After all, although the Chinese believe that there is divine providence in the dark.

But the Chinese believe more in reality.

There are no actual results, but there are tangible benefits in my eyes.

You say this is the future?

Ho letter?

Anyway, the scholar-bureaucrats definitely don’t believe it.

Then, 10% of the people are also dubious.

If this matter harms their interests and makes their living environment not so good.

hey-hey……

The last person who played off like this was called Di Xin, also known as King Zhou.

The Emperor of Shang had much higher authority and sanctity than the Emperor of Han.

He is a divine king who was born from the fateful black bird, and he has gone from one victory to another!

Before King Wu conquered the Shang, the Shang army defeated almost the entire world.

He even conquered the barbarians in the south and ruled the vast north.

However, it is not an egg.

I took too big a step and pulled my balls.

There is not even a shadow of the current bourgeoisie.

And the power of its predecessor, the current businessmen, is not even an ant in front of the huge landlord class in the world.

Powerful landowners and farmers are enough to crush any businessman or capital who dares to talk in front of them.

What's more, these so-called capital and so-called businessmen are nothing more than white gloves for the powerful.

At least, until there is a new industrial and commercial class that is large enough to compete with the landlords, Liu Che has no choice but to put all his influence and actions under the table, in private, and at the center of transactions and balances.

In the wrist.

He tried every possible means to prevent the world from knowing what he was doing. (To be continued.)
