Chapter 26 The True King
If a person says nothing, there will often be people who take a war, and if a person says nothing, dictatorship is sometimes necessary. In fact, this is just a false proposition. It is a shameless sophistry for dictatorial people to use newspapers as underwear.
Because the most fundamental thing about the victory of a war is still the collision of state combined with strength. Or the same sentence, what would happen if a nuclear civilization confronted any country in a dark century? Of course, there is no need to analyze or guess. Because judging the authenticity of a proposition, this assumption often requires the use of this assumption. Then this assumption will lead to a result, that is, under the condition of technological asymmetry, any rights and means are just ridiculous farces.
But the person who implemented it may not be shameful, such as Sahav, who once appeared on TV during the Iraq War. At that time, the Iraqi army and the US military were indeed engaged in an absolute "asymmetric" war. Relatively speaking, I am full of admiration for Sahav, but Saddam was a little stupid. Because of the use of dictatorship, it would directly damage the rule of law, and damage the rule of law would damage the development of technology. This is the reason why Arab countries are bullied in contemporary history.
"If you fall behind in technology, you will be beaten" is a real conclusion! But how to really develop your country's science and technology is a fatal thing for all nations. It is precisely this reason that Zhao Fubo made China a good China that he said was just right. This is still the result of the discussion between Zhao Fubo and Martin in the "Science and Technology Park".
"Fu Bo, it seems that you are determined to develop technology?"
At that time, Zhao Fubo was only 16 years old, and Martin was holding only his homemade pipe. Unlike now, Zhao Fubo is already a 23-year-old young man, and Martin was already smoking a cigar. However, Zhao Fubo still remembers that conversation to this day.
"Yes, teacher, you have already said it clearly enough. The level of technological development will determine the rise and fall of a nation. If one day, I become the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I will make the technological development of the Song Dynasty reach the highest level in the world!"
Martin, who was a teacher from the "Physical and Chemical Laboratory", was very pleased with this matter. In fact, in his era, the technological development between most countries did not reach an essential difference. Unlike the Age of Discovery and the process of the rise of the British Empire, when many countries in the East and North America were still mainly using cold weapons. The technological level at that time was precisely the essential difference.
For example, in 1531, the 56-year-old Spanish Pizarro led a team of less than 200 people from Panama to conquer the Inca Empire with a population of about 6 million. He conquered an empire with a population of about 6 million with 180 people, which is definitely the most amazing thing in military history.
Therefore, don’t say anything dictatorial or any strategy. Just saying two words is enough to determine the rise and fall of a country and a nation - science and technology.
"Yes, you think about Fubo, but sometimes things are not something you can do just by thinking. For example, to what extent will a dictatorial emperor restrict the development of a country's science and technology?"
This is a teaching method that Martin often uses, because students often have deeper memory and clearer about the results they think about. However, when Martin talked about this, Zhao Fubo hesitated for a moment. He felt sensitively that this might be related to the fact that if he became an emperor in the future, power might be restricted. No one doesn't like freedom. Although Zhao Fubo was only 16 years old at that time, he could understand these things very well.
"But if the emperor agrees, at most, when it comes to important talents, find more people who know strange skills and tricks! And in this way, things will be done faster. Otherwise, those people will always discuss when they will go!"
"Then let me ask you, of course, one is a person who only understands the books of sages. But he is not polite to you at all, and even scolds you in front of you. What should you do?"
Of course, he wouldn't like Zhao Fupi's temper, but since Teacher Martin said that, why not show his magnanimity? But before he could speak, Martin answered another sentence.
"Fu Bo, this is related to the future of all of us. You can't tell lies, just say whatever you think!"
Zhao Fubo thought about it and decided to tell the truth. After all, Teacher Martin in front of him was just teaching him skills. If he told lies, he would be a little stupid.
"Of course I don't like it. Although he is a talent, he doesn't treat me that way!"
Is this arbitrary? No. Yue Fei's death was because he wanted to recover lost territory and save the two captured emperors. Could Emperor Gaozong of Song be happy? No! But it was because of his selfishness that he gave all the ministers a good start. That is, "Don't care about the outcome of the war, just whether I am happy or not." The result was so "happy". The Han people were completely destroyed for the first time and were ruled by the nation for nearly 100 years.
"Look, Fu Bo, if you choose talents based on your preferences, can we make the technology of Chinese people always the world's first? Therefore, the first mechanism for truly selecting talents is to maintain fairness, and the second key is to maintain freedom. The most basic starting point for these two requirements in the past is the rule of law. Without the rule of law, there is no everything! With the rule of law, there is technology, and with technology... Fu Bo, a small Song Dynasty is worthy of geometry. Looking at the world, that is the real king!"
Of course, Zhao Fubo lost his words. Obviously, Teacher Martin told him one thing. That is, dictatorship must damage the development of technology, because when dictatorship, it is because of "high or unhappy" to decide on the use of talents.
When Zhao Fubo understood this truth, that is, why he wanted to establish a country ruled by law on Huaxia Island. No other reason, because he was a man among the Han people, a man who wanted to make China's technology the best in the world and truly make China a strong man. In comparison, Emperor Gaozong of Song - Bah, was just a big start that would ruin the entire beautiful country in the future.
These are the reasons that Zhao Fubo said nothing, because the mechanism of selecting talents cannot be controlled by him alone. In the final analysis, this is the reason why the Chinese Empire advocates "freedom". Because only free people know how to think and create, while unfree people are just a group of slaves. I hope a group of slaves create a high-tech country - just take a shower and go to bed!
