From Chief to Ball

Later, someone proposed a young man who put forward an idea: since iron is smelted with charcoal, then charcoal and iron must be mixed together.Therefore, when the pig iron is melted, the wrought iron cannot be melted yet. With the stirring in the smelting furnace, the charcoal in the pig iron mixes with the yang energy in the air and turns into yin air, so at the same temperature, the pig iron gradually becomes viscous and finally solidifies. .

In fact, there is still a long way to go from the truth, but it is the irrefutable truth in this era. Chen Jian praised it very much, and engraved the young man's name in the Shrine of the Sage. National worship.

From this, Chen Jian deduced another weird theory of yin and yang. Some things are born with strong yang, while some things are born with strong yin. The combination of these two strong yin and yang is only stronger with yang. Something that snatches the negative and replaces the positive that is not too strong, and vice versa.

And put forward the concept of indivisible and divisible substances, such weird compounds and simple substances. Relying on a large amount of resources in hand, he made a stack with two metal plates of copper and zinc and an electrolyte solution, and decomposed water, telling Young people, don't think that what you see is real. In fact, water itself is also a divisible thing.

As a result, Jixia Academy had an extra chemistry class. Relying on these simple but expensive experiments, the new generation of the chemistry class stipulated several certain and known indivisible elements.Hydrogen, iron, copper, yang, carbon, zinc, lead, chlorine, gold, silver, mercury...

All kinds of weird experiments are not only fun, but also inspire the younger generation to know the origin of the world.Almost every month, weird articles are written in the booklet "Nature", which can be printed. Relying on the copper and zinc stacks supported by the entire Xia Kingdom, all kinds of weird discoveries continue to impact the old man. The world in the minds of older generations.

These are the same as the debate about what is a circle in the math class. They start to give some artificial and agreed-upon definitions of some things, and then use these definitions to infer new things.

Know what you know, know what you don’t know; see the world, explain the world, and change the world. These five sentences engraved on the altar of the sages, originally called the altar of the high priest, have become the dreams of these young people.It is too difficult to explain the whole world, so let's start with the little things. Young people believe that there must be a unity between the universe and the earth, which people have not yet known, that can connect people to all things, from chemistry to nature. , from smelting to agronomy unified rules.

It’s just that no one has tried to do this kind of thing for the time being, because the more they discover, the more gaps and knowledge there will be between various disciplines. It is also difficult to come up with a way to unify all these and explain the relationship between heaven, earth and man. The bigger it is, the more no one has ever dared to touch the seat of the high priest.

Unless one day, someone proposes a grand unified theory that can explain the origin of everything, and obtains the approval of everyone through experiments, but by then, will the high priest still be meaningful?Besides, it seems that it is quite difficult to do this kind of experiment that requires starburst and universe restart at every turn.

Relying on such simple experiments, Chen Jian gradually enriched various weird theories that can be quickly accepted by people.In particular, it is extremely simple to explain frictional electrification in terms of yin and yang. From this, Xia people know that the lightning in the sky is just a phenomenon of yin and yang electricity colliding together, which is exactly the same as the sparks when you rub your sweater or take off your clothes at night.

All kinds of connecting rods and crankshafts that Chen Jian knew were hand-knocked out by the students bit by bit, which had no practical effect, but it explained a possibility, and also explained the operating principles of water hammer, windmills, and bellows.

One person can't support all the sciences, but he can support the level of the third grade of elementary school, and even some subjects are only the level of the fourth grade of elementary school.

This seemingly meaningless investment has brought huge wealth to the entire Xia Kingdom.

Under the mandatory five-year compulsory education, Xia Guo has a large number of disciplined workers and soldiers who have been cultivated since childhood.

The various brochures and encouragement of research in Jixia Academy have begun to bring benefits, starting from cotton deworming, Bordeaux mixture, hydraulic hammer, artificial breeding of cattle and horses, looms, and spinning machines, and then from the smelting department. A huge sum of money hopes that the students of Jixia Academy will burn new refractory bricks, the students of the military Hope Academy will produce muskets that can be fired directly, and the big farmers are eager for a machine that can be pulled by horses to harvest...

Everything is different from before. Chen Jian has taken in many disciples in the past 15 years, and he has lost count of them. He has taught many things he knows to these young people who have been educated by the Xia Kingdom system since birth. , and also instilled in them the concepts of equality, justice, and integration of all Chinese ministries.

20 years is a long time, so long that the Chinese colonists in the previous life can shave their heads and change their customs, and forget the Han people; they can let the Indian chiefs learn English and understand the law, and they have never seen a horse before learning to ride a horse and shoot a gun; You can erect pyramids and set up Stonehenge to refine five stone powder...

20 years is short again, so short that Chen Jian feels that he has not finished many things, and he is getting old.

He commanded people to compile the "Dictionary", leaving a lot of space waiting for new things to appear.

He asked people to travel all over the feudal country and the great rivers, and recorded the customs, human feelings, land, and output there.

Relying on his memory, he used the excuse of sleepwalking in the ancestral country to write a bunch of stories that happened in the ancestral country or in a different dimension, explaining some weird idioms and stories in the form of short stories, such as how not to eat minced meat.

He built 20 Kaimeng schools, [-] technical secondary schools, and [-] university school in Xia Guoguo and its vicinity. In the past [-] years, two thousand teachers who can teach enlightenment education have been trained, everything has been smashed and rebuilt, and strict compulsory education laws have been enforced in Xiaguo.

He asked the military factory to manufacture more than 200 cannons as a reward to the country, and made 400 arquebus guns that could finally be used with snake-shaped rods and buckle-plate ignition boxes, smashed out steel knives, pierced armor, It has formed a technological advantage over the surrounding ethnic groups for at least [-] years.

After ten years of cultivation and living in various tribal cities, he built roads to various feudal states and promoted exchanges between various cities.

He created a large number of private textile factories, inland shipyards, and ironware factories with the power of the whole country and trade with other feudal countries.

And now, this oddly fused monster finally opened its mouth.

Cheap labor, markets, raw materials, and more cost-effective transportation methods, all these demands burst out 20 years later, and a new type of development is expected.

And all of this has nothing to do with him, he is already old, so old that it is time to complete the transfer of power and come up with a law that can maintain 200 years of colonial development and bloody accumulation before his death.

There is nothing eternal, if all this is not good in the future, then let future generations overthrow it.

Morality... is dependent on the times, and it is slowly produced. When the weird beasts of the Xia Kingdom start to devour everything, there will naturally be corresponding morality that conforms to productivity and production relations to maintain the rule of the ruling class .

Chapter 143 The Remaining Life of Total Reaction ([-])

In the past 20 years, Chen Jian has basically been squatting in the school or workshop, and has been a teacher for 20 years. He has taught young people who are about the level of the first and second grades of the previous life who are enough to complete the scientific foundation of Xia Guo in the future.

And these 20 years have also made Xia Guo people gradually take one thing for granted: as long as the government is stable, as long as the law is still in place, whether there is actually someone who is in charge of life and death and everyone is expensive, does not affect Xia Guo. run.

Some Xia people were born directly from the clan. They don't think that people should kneel down and be servants of a certain person or a certain family; He quite agrees with the rhetoric that he is a native of Xia State, the master of Xia State, the successor of Xia State, and obeys the law.

Chen Jian took a completely different path. In his previous life, Zhao Jianzi enacted laws and engraved them on iron tripods. Confucius denounced this as a sign of national subjugation. If people are afraid of laws and know the laws, then what is the use of hierarchy?Rituals are about to collapse.

And in this life, Chen Jian didn't intend to create any hierarchy of princes and princes, and he contained all the seeds of this in Xia Kingdom from the very beginning.Imperial power does not come naturally. If it is found that this group is really only suitable for kneeling under imperial power to grow, then it will be overthrown and restarted from now on.

Centralization does not necessarily require an emperor on top of his head.It has not been there from the beginning, and it will not be necessary in the future.

With a population of hundreds of thousands, there are basically no villages, great technological advantages suck blood from the outside world, almost stable enlightenment education, from the clan era directly to the current political thinking foundation, if such a foundation does not try something that can be tried It is reactionary to say that the lack of the emperor is like a chicken without its head.

Agriculture is the basis of all changes, and the level of the Xia Kingdom is sufficient to support it, and it is even more advanced than the rural areas of the seventeenth century in the previous life.There is more land, more advanced tools, and scientific methods of fertilizing intensive cultivation, etc., so that agricultural output is sufficient to support.

The promotion of agricultural reform has been going on for nearly 40 years, and the reform of improved seeds has never stopped. Except for the horse-drawn harvester, Chen Jian has produced all the suitable agricultural implements he can think of, but the horse-drawn harvester is the only one he can really do. I can't do it.

Under the premise of private ownership of a large area of ​​land and the hired labor system, farmers have to build water conservancy in order to increase output, and hire people to do some farm work during slack. Anyway, there is money, and there is a lot of nothing but freedom. people.

A large amount of unmined struvite along the coast was continuously transported back and used as fertilizer, reaching the limit of yield per mu that could be achieved in this era.

From scratch, it took 40 years, at least in a small place like Xia Guo, it has the appearance of a new era.This is also the reason why he did not attack and occupy more land of thousands of kilometers when he was alive. He may still be able to guarantee efficient operation with tens of 10 people, and more are really too busy.

Sooner or later, someone will complete the unification. The same language, the same sense of identity, and the pursuit of market unification will force someone to unify. That is not what this generation should do.

In the past 20 years, Chen Jian has tried to build the grassroots of the Xia Kingdom. The original National People's Council has formed a scale and become a place that everyone accepts and is familiar with.

After the complete reform and abolishment of the noble rank system based on public ownership, the National People's Council determined the quota of 120 five people.

A simple and crude property hierarchy system was adopted: 40 people are officials, 40 are workshop owners who own more than 25 acres of land or more than [-] employees, and [-] are self-sufficient farmers who own part of the land. There are [-] hired workers with free status and nothing.

The political structure that has been controlled for 30 years has cultivated a large number of people who know how to fight for their own interests. The previous laws were implemented relying on Chen Jian's prestige and special two-thirds veto power , Let Xia people gradually understand what the rules of the game are. Although it is not fair, it is very suitable for the future development of Xia, and it also planted the seeds for violent revolution.Because the poorest two groups of people can't urinate in the same pot, and the number of people added together has the right to veto a normal proposal. If you play with this rule for hundreds of years and you really can't solve it, you can only use a gun Cannon sets up another rule.

In the 71st year of the Chinese calendar, it is also the year of the triennial national council meeting. Representatives of the Chinese people elected from Xinhuacheng, Xiajun and surrounding cities gathered in Huacheng, the capital of the kingdom.

Because of technological advantages and external exploitation, the Xia Kingdom has been doing quite well in the past few years, class conflicts are not serious, and the hired workers can survive.

The higher level after compulsory education is that scholars have become the majority of Xia people, and are no longer a special class independent of everyone.

In school, Chen Jian said an interesting saying: Classmates are friends, comrades are the party, and cronies are to put their pursuits on the surface, don’t hide them, there will be fights without cronies, it’s better to be on the surface fight.

As a result, all kinds of childish parties like playing with tickets have sprung up in Xiaguo, and many young people regard it as fashionable, but after 20 years of precipitation, those sweet and salty parties that are playful have gradually disappeared, and in the end there is nothing. remain.

Only one clique was left, which was treated as a joke by the people of the National People's Council.

After the opening of the National People's Council, everyone sang "A Big River" together, and after going through many forms, they all understood the purpose of this founding council.

Two things, declaring war and expanding.

The cause was that something happened in a city that was not part of the Huaxia League on the south bank of the great river. A young man from the Xia Kingdom who was full of fanatical thoughts opened a private school in that city to teach people to read and write. By the way, I hope these people believe that all people are one ancestor and Huaxia's path is right, and you are all wrong.

I regret that this young man went to school for a few more years. The habit of that city is not to eat blood food. The young man relied on himself to study for a few more years, and told those children with Xia Guo's way of thinking: You don’t eat blood food just because your ancestors were afraid that you would get sick from eating blood food. In fact, as long as you cook it properly, it has nothing to do with the soul...

These words aroused great indignation from the nobles and priests of the city, and forced the young man to apologize. The young man was born in the Xia Kingdom, and his parents were the descendants of rebellious slaves. He just refused to apologize and was expelled as a result.
