Demolish a new China, this is a ridiculing slogan that Xiao Letian heard in his previous life. The irony is that the society at that time did not distinguish between good and evil in large-scale demolition operations.
It cannot be said that demolishing the old and replacing it with the new is a bad thing. The development of civilization must keep pace with the times. It is impossible to evolve from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization without any damage.
But everything has a problem of degree. For those landmark buildings full of historical symbols, how can they be demolished at any time? In the previous life, the city walls of Beijing were demolished, and decades later the people of the country regretted it. The culture of the 600-year-old landmark building is too profound, so how can it be demolished on the spot?
Xiao Letian supports the protection of cultural relics with both hands. After he time traveled, he consciously protected cultural relics in the formulation of many policies. He was not even willing to demolish the century-old buildings in the small seaport town of Tanggu.
The Special Economic Zone mostly chooses saline-alkali land, greedy, and barren dry land. Its purpose is not to destroy the traces of history.
The same goes for Ryukyu. When building new things, you must protect the old ones. Xiao Letian’s ideal is to let children a hundred years from now still live in buildings that are three or four hundred years old, so that future generations can see them with their own eyes. See how their ancestors lived.
Xiao Letian often traveled abroad in his previous life. What impressed him most were the small cities in Europe that had not changed much for hundreds of years, with their red-tiled roofs, stone streets, church bell towers and lush trees and forests.
This is history. This intangible thing can condense the pride of the nation. This symbolic picture will be imprinted in the baby's memory, so that he will never forget where he is and what he belongs to throughout his life. nationality.
Just like humans will never forget the taste of their mother or the taste of the food they ate in childhood until they die, graphic memories are also an important part of shaping a person's nostalgia.
Sounds, pictures, tastes, smells, culture... all of these are the building blocks that make up a nation. Only with these concrete splicings can human beings find the roots in their hearts, and only then can they know where their hometown is and where their nation is. at.
This is the soft power of the nation. With these people, the hearts of the people will not be scattered. With these people, even if they immigrate overseas, they will miss their hometown even though they are a hundred thousand miles away.
This is the spiritual power that a nation cannot defeat, and it is the soft power of a country!
However, he never expected that his painstaking teachings would have no effect on Zai Chun. This young emperor would be so radical. He wanted to turn the ancient capital into a big factory, and even turn Sijiu City into a A large construction site for demolition.
Xiao Letian would never allow such a thing to happen. He said sternly, "Nonsense! Why demolish the city wall properly? The Qing Dynasty has more than 10 million square kilometers of land, and there is no place to build factories? Why demolish cultural relics... …”
Zai Chun could no longer hear the anger in his master's words at this moment. Ever since he had close contact with Britain, the little emperor's tail had been raised higher and higher.
"No, I want to build the factory on the edge of Beijing. I want to stand on the Tiananmen Gate Tower. I can see the forest of chimneys from my feet..."
"Steel factories, textile factories, chemical plants, arsenals, machinery processing plants... of course there must be railways, so just build the station in Beijing in the Qianmen building!"
"What? You're even going to demolish the front door building!" Xiao Letian was stunned by Zai Chun's fanatical plan.
"Yes, I want the railway. I want all the things that old antiques don't want! I want all goods from all over the world to be brought to the capital, and I want arsenals and barracks to be built next to my palace!"
"At that time, I can quickly organize a powerful army with just one order. Then I will see who dares to treat me as an emperor!"
Xiao Letian's face suddenly darkened, and he struck Zai Chun on the back of the head like lightning and slapped him.
Snapped! This crisp sound made Zai Chun stagger. The senior next to him was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "The head of state, calm down, the head of state, calm down!"
Only then did Zai Chun wake up from his frenzy. His heart skipped a beat. He must have said the wrong thing. His master had been criticized in the first place. Countless people in the Qing Dynasty called him Cao Cao and said that he was a victim of corruption. Controlled by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
The words "son emperor" are a thorn in the master's heart. This is really a brain cramp.
"Master... I didn't mean that... I, I, I... I'm talking about those people in the court, my uncle and those old Dong Heng. They have always treated me as a child. They won't let me do this, and they won't let me do that. …”
"Do you still remember the turmoil in the capital of Juzi four years ago? At that time, I wanted to go to the palace to comfort these disciples, but they stopped me. The locked Tiananmen is like a prison gate to me..."
"From that time on, I made up my mind that I will never be a son-emperor controlled by others in the future... This, this, this really doesn't describe you..."
Xiao Letian also knew that his hand was a little heavy and sighed, "Okay, I wronged you! But I still want to remind you that you are not allowed to demolish all the ancient buildings in the capital in the future. They are all wealth!"
"Okay..." Zai Chun muttered and lowered his head, but he was still unconvinced and whispered in his heart, "What's left to keep? They are all a bunch of rags, and the old houses are old and rotten, like Naha Those three- and four-story cement mansions in the city are so comfortable!”
Xiao Letian was so angry that he said, "You...you are really born in blessings and don't know how to be blessed!"
Oh my God, the courtyard house in the Second Ring Road of the Imperial Capital was in tatters at the time? Did you treasure the dilapidated buildings made of reinforced concrete bricks? If this were said in the 21st century, people would be drowned in saliva.
"I can't tell you that I don't understand...but you have to remember, if you demolish these ancient buildings without my consent in advance, don't blame me for being rude..."
"At that time, I will not only cut off all your financial support, but also cut off the master-disciple relationship with you! Do you understand?"
"Ah? Master, you don't have to be so cruel, right? You don't care if I demolish the house!"
"Bullshit, just take care of it!"
Just as the two people were bickering, Cai Bixia's voice came from behind, "Report to the head of state! Victory sent a semaphore, saying that the Isle of Wight will be visible in an hour and a half of sailing ahead, and Portsmouth Naval Port has prepared a small Your Majesty and the head of state are invited to inspect the fleet review!"
"The other party also asked if they need the Duke of Newcastle to come as a guide..."
"Please! Please invite the Duke to board the ship! Since Britain has shown us their powerful navy, we have to return the favor! Let him come and see our Zhiyuan. Now is not the time to keep it a secret. Let them come up and see it with his own eyes. !”
