"Such a geographical environment is actually very well protected! As long as the Central Plains civilization is stuck at a few important passes, it will be difficult for outside nations to break in!"
"Historically, the direction that has disturbed the Central Plains the most has been the northern grasslands, but the Central Plains people still adopted the methods of agricultural civilization... to build the Great Wall!"
"In the eyes of Chinese scholars, as long as the important border passes can be blocked, the Central Plains can farm with peace of mind! The Central Plains is too big and there is too much farmland. As long as you farm with determination, you can make a fortune!"
"Look, the natural environment is very suitable for the development of farming civilization. If you guard the four fortresses and farm with peace of mind, your life will be wonderful!"
"Look at the Northern Song Dynasty! It had the smallest territory among all the previous dynasties, but it was famously wealthy and prosperous among all the previous dynasties!"
"What do you rely on? In fact, the civil servants took this idea of building high walls and growing crops to the extreme, and then matched it with inclusive policies for business development. Walking on these two legs, we actually made a great success. The Song Dynasty was prosperous!"
"This is the old man's cultural complex! They are obsessed with it. They don't want to change. Faced with a major change that has not happened in three thousand years, they are ready to hit the wall!"
Xiao Letian drank a glass of wine to calm down and said calmly, "If the world was still the same as it was in ancient times, nothing would have changed!"
"Farming continues in the Central Plains, and then the population continues to grow, and there will be land annexation in the middle... Groups of new landowners replace the old landlords, and one big landowner merges with the small landowner..."
"Once the balance between population and land is reached, it will naturally be the most prosperous period of this dynasty! After that, it will unstoppably decline!"
"The reason is very simple. Because the population continues to grow and land continues to be annexed, the perfect balance will soon turn to the bad side..."
"The gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more landless farmers at the bottom who can't live. Then if we encounter some natural disasters or man-made disasters, then we'll have a revolution!"
"In the end, a dynasty collapsed, and a new dynasty emerged in the war... The new dynasty was created, the population withered, and the land was barren!"
“The estates of the big landowners have turned into a wasteland with no roosters crowing for thousands of miles... The new population is like ants who continue to cultivate these ownerless lands that once had owners!”
"Then continue a new reincarnation, and then go to the so-called prosperous world!"
"Just like this...the reincarnation of prosperous times and troubled times has been staged one after another for thousands of years! In fact, the old man and the others know very well. They know that the Qing Dynasty will also fall sooner or later!"
"They think they will play this reincarnation game for hundreds of millions of years and never stop playing it!"
"But they were wrong! The iron laws they established as a matter of course were actually very fragile... Especially when Western civilization opened the country with powerful ships and cannons, they discovered that the old rules were a bit unplayable!"
"How can the old man explain to hundreds of millions of citizens? How can they explain the cruel reality of China's successive defeats at the hands of Europe from the perspective of Confucianism?"
"You have called the barbarians trash for thousands of years, but why are these trash now slapping you over and over again, and you still can't fight back?"
"They can deceive, and they will continue to deceive... I will excerpt passages from ancient classics, and use the thoughts of some saint to interpret them again. I hope they can break the confusion of the people and get in touch with the confusion in their hearts!"
"But they suddenly discovered that this trick didn't work! Their previously unstoppable right to speak suddenly disappeared! Because no matter how much they spit, no matter how reasonable they are...the airship is flying over their heads!"
"That cannon can blast open the Zhengyang Gate tower! The Yangtze River has already been opened to navigation by gunboats... These things are getting worse without any sign of containment!"
"How do you, old man, and the others explain it? Even if you brag for a long time, you still can't come up with a set of Chinese special forces equipment! That special bulletproof steel plate is not tempered by spit particles at all!"
"This is what they fear most. They suddenly find that all their previous thoughts...cannot explain this new era!"
"This is the fundamental reason why Weng Tonghe and others jumped over the wall in a hurry! The foreign devils can't be defeated, and the second devils can't be defeated... In the end, even the right to explain the world will be lost!"
"Agricultural civilization versus industrial civilization... has shown signs of a complete defeat, and they are already letting out desperate and hysterical roars!"
"Fuck! What a fool! He actually dared to surround us, the flower of the navy. You really rebelled against him!"
The head of state's thorough analysis ended with a curse, which made everyone excited to hear what he said!
Even the pens in the hands of the people in the Daily Notes and Recording Group trembled. They thought that it was a supreme honor for them to be able to integrate into an era of great change that had not happened in three thousand years, and to be able to transform this era together with the head of state!
What a breakthrough and enlightenment! The layer of fog in people's hearts was completely blown away by Xiao Letian's words. How complex the pattern of East Asia is so logically clear and well-organized in the eyes of the head of state!
The old shopkeeper trembled with his hands and tried to drink a glass of wine, unable to hold it up. "Hey... this is really the case... I never thought that we would encounter such an era in my lifetime!"
"I didn't see it clearly before and it felt like nothing... Now that I see it clearly, I feel even more frightened!"
King Yi was also stunned. He looked at the steamed fish in front of him and muttered to himself in a daze, "Yes... what we did before was actually just the reincarnation of dynasties in farming civilization!"
"Why did we fail? In fact, we must fail... China's national destiny seems to have known for a long time that the tide of change was not on our side, so it did not give us a chance or a chance to win!"
"China's national destiny would rather give up our kingdom of heaven and continue to let the Manchu Qing Dynasty survive... In fact, the purpose is to wait for you, Brother Xiao!"
"It turns out that the souls of my Chinese ancestors have long longed for a leader to lead a country's national destiny onto the right path!"
"Hahaha... drink, drink... let's have a drink Lord Long... It turns out that the future of the country is here! Hahaha, it turns out that the head of state is really a real dragon who comes riding on the country's destiny!"
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Brother Shi, stop saying these things. We Chinese have long stopped engaging in fate, feng shui, luck... Wait for the prophecies to follow!"
"What I actually think is very simple! I just want China not to be bullied! But in today's world... if you want to not be bullied, there is no other way except developing productivity and industrialization!"
