Thank you book friend 56983162 for the tip!
…
An Sihai relied on his old age and acted bravely, and was enjoying the fight, but he saw An Qing said nothing and slowly stretched out the arm hidden under the table.
In his hand, he held a brand new feather duster.
An Sihai's scalp exploded.
Oh my god, why is there a feather duster?
Just now, Qing'er clearly threw away the feather duster.
"Ahem..."
Old man An was very aware of current affairs. He immediately stopped his raging momentum and did not dare to look at An Qing. He turned his head and looked at Yan Qi. He lowered his eyebrows and was amiable: "My precious son-in-law, what does industry mean? What does industry mean?" Whoever wins the world? At my young age, I really don’t understand. Hehe, can you teach me, please teach me."
It's so disgusting.
An Qing looked on and laughed angrily.
Yan Qi also felt numb all over.
With such a precious father-in-law, life will not be lonely.
Yan Qi asked An Sihai: "What does the official department do?"
An Sihai blurted out: "Quan."
"What does the Ministry of Household Affairs care about?"
"money!"
"Who controls money and power?"
"people!"
"Now let me ask you, what do the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs do?"
"people!"
Yan Qi snapped his fingers: "That's a good summary! Here comes the next question: If I join the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Household Affairs, depending on my methods, it won't be long before I become a successful person. I want money and power. Quan, I will become a master and reach the pinnacle of life."
"But this is the pinnacle of my personal life! What does it have to do with Dahua? Did Dahua reach the top because of me?"
An Sihai shook his head: "No!"
Yan Qiyi spread his hands: "That's right! Dahua is still the same Dahua, and the people are still the same people. Dahua's national power is still the same, the wheel of history has not changed, and the people of Dahua are still living with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky. , nothing has changed in Dahua. What has changed... is only my personal safety, honor and disgrace."
An Sihai thought for a long time and seemed to have some realization: "Yes, once upon a time, when Prime Minister Cao was in office, Dahua had outstanding political achievements and the people's livelihood index improved a lot."
"Ever since Prime Minister Cao was wronged and hanged himself, in the past many years in Dahua, everyone has been fighting for power and breaking their heads for a position. You are on top of him, and he is on top of you, coming and going. No matter who comes to power, Dahua has not No matter what changes, Dahua is still the same Dahua, and the people still live a difficult and bitter life. But..."
At this point, An Sihai changed the topic: "Does it mean that if you join the Ministry of Industry, there will be changes? It's still the same."
"Big difference."
Yan Qi shook his head: "Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry, except for the Ministry of Industry, all manage people and are people-centered; only the Ministry of Industry is not people-centered, but It’s industry-focused.”
An Sihai said: "So what if industry is the center? Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the status of industry is not high. I don't understand why you attach so much importance to the Ministry of Industry and still think industry is king? You are deliberately sensationalizing."
Yan Qi smiled, took out the porcelain wine glass, and shook it in front of An Sihai: "Such exquisite porcelain is truly a work of art."
An Sihai agreed: "It is definitely a work of art."
Yan Qi changed the topic and asked: "Master Yushi, does he know what utensils the Turks use for drinking?"
An Sihai said: "They use horns as wine glasses."
Yan Qi asked again: "Please, Sir Yushi, please guess which one the Turks would prefer, the horn wine cup or the porcelain wine cup?"
An Sihai curled his lips: "No need to ask, of course it is a porcelain wine glass, and the horn wine glass smells of cow dung. Can the wine be drunk? Hahaha, it makes me sick just thinking about it."
Yan Qi asked again: "That's strange. The horn wine cups smell of cow dung. Then why do the Turks still use horn wine cups? Why don't they use Dahua porcelain wine cups?"
An Sihai rolled his eyes: "You need to ask? They Turks are dull-minded and only know how to herd cattle and horses. They are very barbaric. How can they make such delicate work as porcelain? They want to use porcelain, but how can they use it? Let me tell you , this kind of porcelain can only be made by us in Dahua, and no other country can use it."
At this point, An Sihai was startled, scratched his head, looked at the wine glass, and thought deeply.
Yan Qi smiled: "It seems that the Censor has understood something. What is porcelain? It is an industry! We can make porcelain, so we have better enjoyment. The Turks can't make porcelain, so they just I can stand the smell of cow dung in a horn wine glass.”
"Now, let's expand on this: Turks don't know how to weave clothes, so they can only wear linen clothes and animal skins. We Dahua are proficient in weaving, so everyone's clothes are exquisite, and the beauties are beautiful and elegant."
"The Turks do not know how to refine iron tools. The iron tools they robbed are only enough for fighting and are not willing to use them for farming. Therefore, they have no tools to hoe the fields and cannot farm. They can only suffer from hunger. But we Dahua are good at refining iron tools and can Make all kinds of hoes and all kinds of iron plows, so we have enough food and won't starve."
"Taking a longer view, what about the surrounding countries? So what? The Western Regions are not proficient in water conservancy, so they have water resources such as Weishan Mountain, but they cannot control them. Floods often engulf the sky and annihilate transportation. But I, Dahua, are proficient in water conservancy. Water conservancy, dredge the Yellow River, guide the Yangtze River, build reservoirs in drought years, and divert floods in flood years. Only in this way can we have a good harvest and avoid starvation."
"The Annan countries in the south are known as Little China. What is small? Because they imitate China in every aspect, but they are not good at it. They have many islands and reefs and rich fisheries. However, they do not have big ships and cannot go fishing in the open sea. Fishing It’s just enough for food and clothing. And I, Dahua, can build big ships, control major transportation routes, and go fishing in the open sea, so our fishermen’s quality of life is much better than that of the fishermen in the Annan countries.”
"The above are just typical examples. There shouldn't be too many examples in life, such as horse-drawn carriages, papermaking, firecrackers, textiles, forging, etc. Regardless of the various industries, those who are industrially developed will inevitably live a happy life, and those who do not will live in embarrassment."
An Sihai couldn't keep up as he listened to Yan Qi's explanations, and he was almost dumbfounded.
The more you think about Yan Qi's words, the more lingering they become.
Yan Qi stopped and let An Sihai think for a while before he concluded: "The reason why China is called the Central Kingdom is not only due to geographical factors, but also because of the prosperity of Dahua's industry. Even after Prime Minister Cao hanged himself, it stagnated for many years. , it is also much stronger than the surrounding countries."
"The surrounding countries must communicate with Dahua in order to obtain various industrial supplies from Dahua. Dahua sells industrial supplies and gets a lot of money. In this way, the people are rich and the country is peaceful and peaceful."
After listening to Yan Qi's words, An Sihai sat dumbly for a long time, with a layer of dense sweat beads forming on his forehead and his eyes widening.
He seemed to be petrified and remained motionless for a long time.
In my mind, it was like lightning and thunder, rumbling non-stop.
