Liu Yu's expression was serious, his fists were clenched, and he said in a deep voice: "Old demon, I would like to remind you, in this matter, I don't want to smile with you, even if it's just a joke, the Opium War I just mentioned is the eternal pain of our Chinese people in the future, and the Chinese nation was deceived by Western powers with drugs, weakening our bodies, destroying our spirits, and causing the entire country and nation to fall into depravity. When we want to reject these things that harm people and harm our bodies, we are also attacked by the great powers with army and lost their troops. In our later years, this history of more than a hundred years is the darkest and most humiliating part of the entire nation's history. It was not until the new dynasty was rebuilt and the people turned over and became masters of their own country, that the Chinese people really stood up."

The ancestor put away his smile and said coldly: "I am a god, not you mortals. I am not very interested in these mortal things. For us, can we get the incense, souls and souls offered by mortals, and whether we can enhance our magic? This is the most important thing. According to what you said, in the Qing Dynasty, there were no Chinese gods, who could show their power and repel the army of Western powers. This is where you later generations need to reflect on. If you do not respect gods and do not worship ancestors, you will lose the blessing of ancestors and gods, and in the end you will lose the so-called strange skills and lewd skills to foreign powers, and above the advanced technology."

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "It's nonsense. What's the matter with the gods and immortals that we later generations rely on our own efforts and research and development? We have not received the help of the gods and immortals in the Central Plains. Could it be that the Western powers have their gods to protect their bodies?"

When he said this, he suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately stopped his mouth.

The ancestor sneered: "This is your short-sighted gaze as a mortal. Just as you said, the Western powers suddenly developed greatly in just a few hundred years. They developed industrialization and the ability to eat and wear food without letting everyone farm. They could make many people no longer engage in agriculture, but go to cities and factories and become workers. How did these technologies come about? Was they really developed by mortals?"

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Western civilization has some unique features, such as popularizing education, and creating some places called universities for their children of aristocratic families and aristocratics to enroll. They also have a civilization for thousands of years. Unlike our study of the Four Books and Five Classics, they prefer or are used to using arithmetic and physics disciplines to solve various problems such as construction, engineering, and land measurement in daily life. Therefore, on the road of pure science and technology, they have slowly caught up and surpassed China in later generations."

The ancestor said coldly: "Sometimes, this kind of sudden, a genius or two can achieve great technological progress. Invention and creation are the result of the gods and immortals privately passing on magic and immortals on earth. They even possessed themselves to some human elites and borrowed their hands to convey technologies that mortals cannot reach. Just like the Suiren family making fire and Shennong family identifying grains, they are just gods who have privately passed on magic from heaven to humans. You said that the West also believes in religion, and there is a god and corresponding other gods. Isn't this the best proof that their gods gave them various techniques and help?"

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I don't care whether Western powers have any gods or other gods who teach technology. But our later development proved one thing, that is, even if the enemy's technology has some advantages for a while, as long as we unite and are willing to learn from others' strong side, and work hard to work hard, we can also surpass them. Later, our new China was established, and the emperor without gods and immortals relied on the strength of the Chinese people and defeated all kinds of powers, especially the Japanese Oriental Devils."

The ancestor curled his lips and said, "You said before that these Western powers defeated the Qing Dynasty, but they only had the gold and silver of the Qing Dynasty, and did not have the land of the Qing Dynasty, and were too lazy to care about the lives and deaths of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, they used this open trade city to provide other transaction models including opium trade to force the Qing Dynasty to surrender and exchange China's wealth for these Western commodities. In addition to opium, there were also those spun cloth, daily necessities, etc., right?"

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Yes, in fact, the evil intentions behind this are very bad. China's technology at that time was not as good as those of these Western powers. For the fabrics they spun, handmade or spinning wheels were not as good as those produced by large-scale machines. The cloths they spun were not only large in quantity, but also cheap in raw materials. In this way, dumping these foreign goods into China will cause China's own textile fabrics, including handicraftsmen in other industries, to lose their jobs and go bankrupt. They were originally selling land and specializing in handicraftsmen. After going bankrupt, it would be impossible for them to go back to have a piece of land and become farmers again."

"So they were forced to enter the factories of Chinese capitalists who became Chinese landlords, and like tenants, they were forced to work for them, using Western machines bought by these Chinese capitalists to produce them. So these Chinese capitalists, including officials from the Qing Dynasty, became spokespersons and lackeys of Western powers. We have a special word to describe them, that is, compradors."

The ancestor laughed: "Compulsory? It sounds quite appropriate. It is specialized in dealing with Western business transactions. It can be seen as after the Central Plains conquered the Four Barbarians, the four barbarian tribes set up puppets to control the tribes. However, in your era, this is the opposite. However, you can buy Western machines and return to China for production. You can quickly master these Western technologies and use them for my future."

Liu Yu sighed: "It's not that easy. Although someone in the Qing Dynasty proposed the idea of ​​learning from the barbarians' skills to control the barbarians. He wanted to learn their technology and do the Westernization Movement, not only could produce daily necessities, but also buy Westerners' weapons, naval warships, etc., but they forgot one thing, that is, what the Western powers sold to us was just outdated and old machines and weapons that they had long eliminated. The new machines and weapons brought by their latest technology will never be sold to China. The disciples of the church killed their master. These foreigners were not so stupid."
