Meritocracy is mostly a nominal gimmick, but there are very few emperors who can actually do it.
But don’t forget that in reality there are still a lot of people who favor the virtuous and do not avoid relatives!
It is precisely because of this that this statement has been questioned.
In particular, after spreading rumors, all kinds of weird arguments emerged one after another, and these children could not distinguish them clearly. Over time, it gradually evolved into a kind of psychological shadow.
On the surface, Qi Yu's remarks sounded like he was explaining history, but in fact, he was trying to enlighten them so that they could get a glimpse of the facts and understand the real situation.
Guo Chunhai, who asked this question, had such feelings.
After being released, the child seemed very happy and thanked him hurriedly.
But then he took a glance and saw exactly the negative example he just mentioned - Sun Yue Gong.
Perhaps because of his naughty heart, he actually took the initiative to lean over and said with a smile: "Professor Sun, your name is not an ordinary 'coquettish' one. Actually, even our Emperor Taizong was shocked."
Sun Yue Gong rolled his eyes at him and said, "When it comes to coquettishness, your name is the most important one. I have heard that none of our newly born children in Qiongzhou dare to be named with the word 'chun'" .Why?"
Cough, spit!
You old fool!
I bother!
You little miscellaneous, miscellaneous... product!
The onlookers all rolled their eyes and sneered when they saw that Sun Yue Gong was an old man and disrespectful, and he was as smart as a child with long teeth.
Then, there was a burst of laughter.
Seeing that the atmosphere was still harmonious, Qi Yu planned to retreat to the front desk. Just as he was about to do something, he brushed off his clothes and saw Guo Chunhai reaching out to stop him again.
"Master Qi, I have another question to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"About bad government!"
What? Bad government again?
Qi Yu touched his nose and felt a little unhappy: "Tell me, what are you talking about during this big holiday?"
However, Guo Chunhai is a child after all. What he is thinking in his heart comes out as soon as he is bald, and he does not care whether the occasion is appropriate or not.
He was still thinking to himself: "Master Qi, you personally promised me to allow me to criticize the current situation. Looking at you today, are you going to regret it?"
You little brat, when did you learn to take words out of context?
I did promise you, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, you must pass the examination to be a scholar. Why do you ignore the prerequisites when it comes to the real thing?
However, with Qi Yu's status, how could he argue with him?
So, he said as if nothing had happened: "Taste the words, listen to them and you will be enlightened, and believe in them and you will be dark. No matter what the sound is, it can be heard by Qi. If you have anything to say, there is no harm in saying it."
Guo Chunhai was very happy when he heard this, nodded and said: "Well, you are indeed a great official!" After praising him, he got down to business: "I heard from Mr. Luo Jijiu that you plan to use automated machinery and equipment to replace animal power. Work, under the euphemistic name, is completing some kind of epoch-making industrial revolution. Is this true?"
Hey! How is your boy so well informed?
However, it is not difficult to conclude from this that Mr. Luo Yuan is indeed very attentive to him and does not hide all new and important things from him.
Qi Yu first nodded in recognition, and then said loudly: "A centipede with one hundred legs cannot fly as fast as a snake; a rooster with two wings cannot fly as fast as a crow. Why is this?"
After a pause, he asked and answered again: "Because they lack key conditions that they do not possess! And the development of science and technology can exactly make up for such shortcomings. Technology can not only make the impossible possible, but also You can create things that you don’t have. In other words, only by completing the upgrading industrial revolution can Qiongzhou’s development be regarded as a qualitative leap.”
Guo Chunhai smiled and said, "So, do you admit this?"
Qi Yu nodded and said, "This is a rare good thing, why don't I recognize it?"
"Then, Mr. Qi, have you ever thought about it, once machines and equipment replace manpower, a large number of craftsmen will be left without work. What should we do with these people?"
"Well……"
Not to mention, this seemingly simple and straightforward question really stunned Qi Dalang!
To be honest, the industrial revolution in the previous life did bring about large-scale unemployment.
Calling it a hidden concern is not an exaggeration.
Fortunately, Guo Chunhai, a little devil, brought it up today, otherwise, he would probably have missed it.
Everyone has his strong and weak points.
Even children whose baby teeth are in need of replacement may be pregnant with something that adults cannot see.
Hearing both will lead to enlightenment, believing only half will lead to darkness. This old saying is indeed true.
However, Qi Yu did not give a direct answer on how to solve this problem.
He waved his hand angrily, and then left with the excuse of 'let me think about it again'.
When he returned home, he was alone in his study and continued to think about the matter.
After much thought, he finally decided to expand the market to respond.
In layman's terms, it means opening up employment space with a more diversified business model to resist the negative effects of the industrial revolution.
We must prepare for a rainy day now.
Guo Chunhai naturally didn't know that his seemingly deliberate attempt to make things difficult actually inadvertently promoted the development of Qiongzhou.
Although limited, it is timely.
Qi Yu brewed a cup of tea and sipped it while considering it.
Meanwhile, spread out the paper and write your plan.
He listed all the new products he could think of and then made a selection.
For example, potato vermicelli, sweet potato vermicelli, cocoa tea, peanut oil, etc.
In addition to the above-mentioned agricultural products, he also conceived shoes with rubber soles as the main material, various types of glasses with glass as the material, and real bicycles that will most likely be realized in the near future, etc.
After he finished writing, he quickly summarized it, only to find that the sum total of all these items exceeded more than 20 new types of products. It feels like it should be enough.
The current task is to do the related development of these products in advance, and when they are used, just use them.
Early the next morning, Qi Yu handed the plan into Yu Hai's hands.
Lao Yu is the chief executive of Qiongzhou. He is the donkey of the production team and has to take the lead at the critical moment.
However, when he looked at it, he felt that one was as big as two.
None of the weird things described here are familiar to me.
"Master Qi, what are all these...?"
"It doesn't matter what it is, what's important is that it can solve the crisis for us."
This is fine, where is the crisis?
When Yu Hai heard this, he immediately turned into Zhang Er.
Qi Yu ignored him and directly took out a detailed explanation book and said: "The process flow and approximate index of the product are all written in this copy. You should quickly find someone to print it as a reference."
"Oh well."
While we were chatting, we suddenly heard a report from a Yamen servant: "I am reporting to Mr. Qi that Mr. Duan Zicheng has returned from Annan."
