0141 Invest in education?
"well--"
When the Party Patriotic talks about the "shaping" of social structure, it can't help but sigh to the sky.
Even after 1,800 years, how has China changed? The society talks about relationships and connections everywhere. The only "education" that can represent abilities can be obtained through the back door. Although existence is reasonable, and strong relationships and wide connections are also part of strength, the "shaping" of the social structure brought about by the "relationship society" will eventually slow down the speed of social development and progress.
However, if the so-called "human nature" is thought, the party will be relieved. If the development and progress of society have nothing to do with the vested interest groups, for those with power, they would rather let the society stagnate; if the development and progress of society are at the cost of their sacrifice, then they would rather drag the entire society to hell with them.
People are selfish, even if there are sometimes selfless people, as long as there is still one person who is selfish, it will never be possible - this is called a piece of stinky meat ruining a pot of soup.
And let alone **, the Party Patriotic even believes that even the primary stage of socialism is quite difficult - because the "standardization" of social structure is inevitable.
If a powerful person always wants to be high above, then other people will naturally have to crawl at their feet. Even if a commoner suddenly jumps over the dragon gate, because of the truth that the butt determines the head, he will immediately forget the history that was once a small fish, and from then on, he will look at the problem with the eyes of the ruler.
"Why did the master sigh? Isn't it a good deed that the imperial court has made great contributions to the future? Could it be that the master is worried because he cannot afford so much money to encourage his studies in the treasury?"
Seeing that Dang Maiguo looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Diao Chan asked very strangely.
Alas, Diao Chan will never understand the melancholy of the party's patriotic country. At this time, she was probably excited by the very delusional lie that "knowledge changes destiny".
But kid, you are so naive.
Although from a personal perspective, knowledge seems to change destiny:
The poor boy in the valley studied hard, got into a prestigious university, went to a big company, became a middle-level cadre, married the daughter of a company boss, and became a winner in life...
But in fact, from the perspective of the overall society, knowledge cannot change destiny, and destiny is basically determined from the moment someone is born:
Two men, one was born in a poor mountain valley, one was born in a wealthy family; one worked hard to get into a prestigious university, one was involved in a prestigious university through the back door; one went to a large company to sell labor, and one became a leader in a large company; one became a middle-level cadre, and one took over the family industry; one married the boss's daughter, and the other won the hearts of the people...
These two men are actually in the same company, so who is the real winner in life?
This world has always been dominated by the great families of aristocratic families. At the beginning, it may leave some opportunities for ordinary people to develop, but the more they go, the less opportunities ordinary people will have. The only thing they can count on is to be absorbed by the great families of aristocratic families and become their subordinates. But no matter how high or capable you stand, a dog will always be just a dog.
Dang Maiguo looked at Diao Chan's eyes full of hope, sighed in his heart, shook his head and stopped sighing. Perhaps, the "shaping" of social structure is inevitable, at least he cannot think of a good solution. Maybe he can only look forward to a genius coming out of nowhere and perfectly solving this problem.
He calmed down and said to Diao Chan, who was tilting his head cutely and unknown:
"I have something to say about you. Encouraging education is not a good deed, but an investment."
"invest?"
Diao Chan became more and more confused as she listened to it. Although she understood the meaning of the "new words" in the Party's patriotic discourse, her thinking could no longer keep up with the Party's patriotic thoughts.
“Yes, it’s investment.
Diao Chan, do you think, as a family that controls the entire country, would they hope that the people they ruled will be smarter? Or will they be stupider?"
Dang Maiguo turned his head and looked to the north, where there was the center of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Northern Palace of Luoyang.
Diao Chan looked at Dang Patriotic eyes as deep as the night sky, and couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable throbbing in her heart. She was silent for a while before she thought about it and replied:
"I think...it's probably a bit stupider, right?
It is difficult to control people when they become smarter.
But it is not okay to be too stupid. If the people can't do it, no one can farm, no one can weave cloth, and no one can make irons. It is useless for those aristocratic families to raise a group of stupid people.
What's more, there are foreign races such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang and Hu who are eyeing each other."
"Not said."
The Party Magistrate retracted its gaze and nodded to Diao Chan.
His eyes were particularly distant, as if they had passed through thousands of years; his eyes were particularly sharp, as if they could pierce the fog of thousands of years and point directly to people's hearts. The girl sitting opposite him looked at him by chance, and even felt a slight dizziness in his mind.
"As a superior, compared to other things, the first thing to do is to protect the seat under the butt. Control the people for their use is the first priority.
To be honest, the best control is the natives in remote areas who have not yet been civilized. As long as they can make up lies and use some small means to pretend to be a god, they can subdue those foolish natives. But in the same way, these natives can only pick fruits, grinding stone knives, kill wild animals, and even raise domestic animals for farming. Being the leader of these natives is not even as good as being an ordinary citizen in Luoyang.
It is precisely because of this that the rulers hope that the people are stupider, the better, and on the other hand, they hope that the people are smarter, the better. Only by being smarter can the people create more exquisite objects and more wealth for them. However, if the people are too smart and the rulers are not smart enough, they are in danger of being overthrown by the people.
It is precisely because of this that the great families of aristocratic families have come up with many effective methods to maintain their dominance.
First, it is to limit the knowledge that the people can access to within the scope they allow.
As of now, "reading" has nothing to do with the people. Even if some people want to study, they can only find the books circulating on the market. And you also have many aristocratic families who can establish clans because of their family background.
All of them regard those truly valuable knowledge as a family heirloom, and ordinary people do not want to learn it at all. If they find some precious books among the people, they will definitely get it by mistake and then hide it at home and study it secretly.
This is a way for them to ensure their dominant position, which is the same as craftsmen who teach their disciples to always keep their hands on them, so as not to teach their disciples to starve their master to death.”
The Party raised a finger and smiled, as if it was very disdainful of the actions of those aristocratic families, and as if it was mocking the science and technology blockade policy implemented by the United States in later generations. In fact, it was used by the Chinese more than a thousand years ago. In terms of humanities and social sciences, Chinese research has always been at the world's leading level.
"Secondly, in order to prevent too outstanding smart people from breaking away from the control of the ruler, the aristocratic families will try their best to attract and absorb those talents into the families, so that their intelligence can be used by me. If all the aristocratic families cannot win over this person, they will choose to join forces to suppress or even directly destroy him, so as not to shake their rule by this 'unrighteous' guy.
If, in the long run, all the talents in the world have been gathered among the aristocratic families. If one or two unique geniuses emerge from ordinary people and have to break this rule and make a fortune, then he will not face the enemy, but hundreds of geniuses who are not inferior to him. Unless this person is really genius that everyone is not as good as him in the combined situation, he will never have the chance to win."
Diao Chan was stunned at this moment, and even forgot to cover her mouth with her sleeves. What Dang Paiguo said was something she had never considered before. However, this knowledge was used to control the world, and it was normal that she had not considered it before.
This was the first time she heard the Party’s patriotism explain the so-called “way to govern the country” in such a specific detail. Originally, she thought that the Party’s patriotism could only talk about “natural science”.
In fact, the Party and the Patriotic Affairs Bureau plan to start talking about these social science knowledge when the upcoming next semester is about to begin. Not to mention "science" is originally divided into social science and natural science. Just mentioning his identity as a Beijinger and talking about "imperial science" with a big bowl of tea, it will definitely be like the water of the Yangtze River.
"Master, since that's the case, why do you need to invest in education and encourage reading?"
Although Diao Chan has these cunning tricks used to deal with the people, she is a loyal maid standing on the side of the Party and patriotism. She considers the Party and patriotism from the perspective of the Party and patriotism, and she can't figure it out no matter what. Her master wants to do such things that harm oneself and others.
Isn’t it said that “future human gods” are not considered rulers? But her master is like the Supreme Emperor riding above the emperor. No, even the Supreme Emperor will definitely not dare to ride above the current emperor as a powerful man.
"What about?"
The Party asked back and asked, and then asked and answered:
"Because I don't mean to be a ruler. The reason I want to invest is that if I don't invest, the people will not have spare money to study. If the people do not read and read, there will be no qualified talents in my factories and research institutes - I will eventually invest in the industry.
This reason can lead to a third solution to the people's study problem: to let those aristocratic families take the initiative to pay to encourage the people to study."
"Let the aristocratic family pay the money on their own initiative?"
Diao Chan opened her eyes wide incredibly and looked very cute. Seeing her incredible expression, Dang Patriotic felt a lot of sense of accomplishment.
"Maybe they are all stupid? Master, you said just now that the people they all want to be stupider, so will they pay for the people to study?
Although I have a shallow knowledge, the knowledge taught by my master at the Central University is far greater than that of the family education taught by various aristocratic families. Those families who cannot obtain recommended admission are all trying their best to find ways to get our class notes.
According to the master, even the great families regard this knowledge as treasures, and will ordinary people be allowed to learn it before them?"
"This is the same reason as what I just said. In order to obtain talents, aristocratic families need to invest first, so they will willingly take out money to provide for the people's study.
Although they will definitely restrict the selection of training objects, such as selecting children from the clan or selling them to their slaves to study, as the industry continues to expand, they need more and more people, so the restrictions will naturally be relaxed.
The factories you see need more than one or two people. In order to cultivate more workers to create wealth for them, even if they are reluctant, they have to pay money to let the workers learn the necessary knowledge. Because at this time it is not that workers need to study, but that they need workers to work for them after they finish reading.
There is a saying that "a thousand troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find." Reading does not mean that it is useful to memorize the words in the book in your mind. Not to mention others, even the students at Central University have different understandings and mastery of various knowledge from person to person. As for those who can further study new knowledge in the knowledge I talk about, none of them have appeared.
So after I spread the application methods of various knowledge in production and factory construction methods, it would be fine if those aristocratic families were not moved. If they also wanted to produce products, they would have to train workers.
If you want to create a weapon as powerful as a landmine or cannon, you must train a group of researchers according to my method. A qualified researcher may only be one out of a thousand people, so if you want to train one, you have to train thousands of people and then select them.
If anyone does not want to spend money to make such a weapon, then if others have him but do not, his life and property safety may be threatened. Keeping buying weapons from others is equivalent to sending his lifeline to others. If others want to get stuck, they will stuck his neck. At the critical moment, they will stumble on the price and buy whatever they want. This is called a rare item.
It is because of such an indissoluble vicious cycle that I have full confidence to make those aristocratic families a fool and willingly take out money to let the people study.
By then, they will, if they want to train ordinary workers, it will be difficult, but not everyone can train them to become senior technical workers, let alone cultivate R&D talents.
In fact, let alone them, even the research institutes I set up now have not yet cultivated a R&D talent. Except for a few craftsmen who barely have certain R&D capabilities, other craftsmen are simply unqualified."
The Party and the country confidently told the whole story, quite like a military advisor who was holding a wise man. Diao Chan was amused by his words and laughed, and the beautiful appearance of the trembling branches made people feel dazzling.
After laughing, Diao Chan, who was full of red face, exclaimed with admiration:
"The master of Ah Country has an unpredictable opportunity for gods and ghosts, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Haha... don't praise me like that, otherwise I will be proud."
Although Dang Patriotic Diao Chan is probably just flattering him for fun, she was stared at by a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a peony and also called "master" with admiration. Even the iron tree is about to be happy. Although Dang Patriotic has already felt a sense of drift in his heart, he still feels a little humble in his mouth. It's really hypocritical
Diao Chan shook her head, looked straight into the eyes of the Party Patriotic Kingdom sincerely and said:
"In my body and heart, the master of Aguo is an omnipotent and kind god. Being able to serve the master is really a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life."
Diao Chan's shiny eyes made the party and patriotism feel a little guilty. Alexander sometimes, being admired by beauties can make people.
Because Diao Chan's confession was too explicit for the "hard-made man" Party Patriotic, he touched his face very embarrassedly and diverted his gaze, and did not dare to look at the girl anymore. At this time, Diao Chan continued with some depression:
"But... the master has done so many good things for the people, but in the end it may not be the master's credit."
Although Diao Chan said this too superficially, it was not like the adopted daughter who resolutely sacrificed her life in order to eliminate the traitor Dong Zhuo. However, when Dang Paiguo saw Diao Chan always stand on his side to consider the problem, he subconsciously placed his interests above the interests of the people in the world, he was naturally very happy.
What's more, judging from the Party's understanding of Diao Chan, it is basically impossible to say that she sacrificed everything to alienate the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu for the sake of the people of the world...
Although Diao Chan is not a selfish person, her awareness has not reached the level of a martyr. If she had really been to disagree with Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, it is more likely that she would just repay Wang Yun's nurturing grace. And after the plan is successful, she is likely to choose to commit suicide and abandon her body, which is no longer innocent.
Diao Chan, whom the Party and the Patriotic Republic of China, is such a stubborn girl. She is not a kind and righteous person, and cares more about her own life than the people in the world. But in some aspects, this very smart girl was unexpectedly stubborn.
"Is it good?" Don't skip the words.
Dang Aiguo leaned back hard, rested his head on the hard back of the chair, and unconsciously looked at the carved flowers on the beams of the roof and sighed.
"Diao Chan, this world is actually a world of interests.
Any action by human beings is for the sake of interests. Even if the person involved does not notice it, as long as he takes the initiative to act, his brain must have made a judgment for him, making his subconscious mind think that this behavior is beneficial.
This is called motivation.
The reason why I do these things that seem to be unhealthy is that there is my motivation, and this motivation must be good for me - even if I am the only one who thinks so, it is enough."
