Chapter 1042 Fermentation

"I hate that country."

When Zhang Yuru heard her boyfriend mention India, she instinctively showed a hint of disgust on her face.

With her personality, being able to directly say the word "hate" is enough to prove that the impression this country must have given her is quite bad.

indeed.

Without mentioning the conflicts and grievances between countries, the negative news about India online is enough to dispel anyone's favorability towards this country.

Dirty, chaotic, barren...

This is the basic impression of the Chinese people about India.

Think about the slutty Indians.

Take a bath and cook in the Ganges water comparable to a sewer, and use cow dung and urine as a treasure...

Is this a normal behavior?

Unable to understand.

I can't imagine it.

Zhang Yuru has a dream of traveling around the world, but she will never be able to go to India.

"I hate it, too."

Feng Yi lowered his voice and blinked at his girlfriend, as if he was worried about being heard. After all, as a civil servant, some of his remarks could not be made at will.

Zhang Yuru was amused and gave him a charming look, put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in his bowl, "You keep talking."

Feng Yi coughed lightly.

"As for another standard sense of happiness, it naturally depends on whether people have enough personal time. After all, you don't have time to enjoy life, so there is no way to talk about happiness.

Comparing the holidays of various countries, France has 150 days of holidays throughout the year, Sweden has 126 days, Russia has 118 days, and my country has 107 days. Through these data comparisons, it is not difficult to see that my country does have some gaps with developed countries in some fields. Of course, I have always believed that more companies like Huawei will give birth to the income level of domestic people, because only technology is the foundation of development."

"It's not bad, County Magistrate Feng."

Gu Yanzhi showed praise, and then he bumped into Chen Liang with a smile.

"Comrade Chen Liang, you have a long way to go. Whether our country can enter developed countries as soon as possible is a great responsibility for you entrepreneurs."

Feng Yi and Zhang Yuru both looked at Chen Liang and laughed.

"You look down on me too much."

Chen Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't have that much ability, I can only say a little bit of my strength."

"Brother Chen, if you have the opportunity, come to Ningxi to invest? Ningxi's investment promotion policy is quite superior across the country."

Feng Yi took advantage of the situation and looked at Chen Liang expectantly.

"I think you want to pull him to Shahe River, raise Shahe River's GDP, and improve your political achievements, right?"

Gu Yanzhi teased.

Feng Yi did not deny it, and responded generously: "It's not a delay, it's called mutual benefit and win-win. If Brother Chen is really willing to invest in Shahe, I will definitely strive for the best policies for Brother Chen!"

Chen Liang nodded and smiled, "I will consider it."

"It's enough to have Brother Chen's words. I'll give you a cup to Brother Chen."

Two people clinked glasses and drank.

"Look, the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the exchange of power and money."

Miss Gu doesn't have any scruples and makes jokes without restraint.

Feng Yi put down his wine glass and smiled helplessly, "Sister Gu, don't talk nonsense. I'm in trouble when I'm heard by someone who is interested."

"Now, it seems that the evaluation of political achievements is no longer linked to GDP, right?"

Chen Liang asked.

Feng Yi nodded, "Well, it's different from before."

"Why?"

Zhang Yuru's eyes showed curiosity.

"Because the country is now out of poverty and has discovered that the blind pursuit of economic growth has brought about a series of disadvantages, so it has made timely adjustments."

Gu Yanzhi replied casually.

Feng Yi looked at Gu Yanzhi and nodded and smiled, "Sister Gu is right. GDP cannot be equated with national strength. People think that if GDP goes up, the country will naturally become stronger. In fact, it is not the case that GDP is just GDP and has never represented national strength. In history, there are many examples of weak national strength.

For example, the previous dynasty was the most typical example. During the Opium War, GDP ranked first in the world, and a country accounted for 1/3 of the global GDP, surpassing the second in the world at that time. The GDP of England, which was known as the empire of the sun never set, was as high as seven times! It can be said to be a unique existence in the world.

In such a strong country, does anyone dare to challenge it?

Especially when you travel across the ocean and go to the home court of this country to fight, isn’t this a death sentence?

The British also thought so at first. So before the Opium War began, the debate between the British Parliament was very fierce, and half of them opposed sending troops, believing that the chances of victory were too low. As a result, even after 271 votes to 262 votes, the British government never officially declared war, claiming to the outside world that this military operation was just a revenge rather than a war. The only thing that carried out this military operation was to carry out this military operation was to block the coast of the Qing Dynasty and force the Qing government to open up trade. It would be better if it could pay some money.

The Qing government looked down on Britain, and Britain itself did not think it could easily defeat the huge empire thousands of miles away. However, with the beginning of the battle, the British expedition team, as a temptation, achieved incredibly easy victory, and won repeatedly, capturing many strategic locations of the Qing government, and deaths in each battle were only single digits.

After two years of the Opium War, Britain fought all the strategic areas that the ship could only drive. This war completely exposed the weakness of the Qing government. From then on, the Qing government was no longer a country that scared the Western powers, but a fat sheep that everyone loved.

The imperialist countries dared to start a war with a random excuse, and the result of the war caused the Qing Dynasty to continuously cede land and pay compensation.

Learning from history can help you understand success or replacement.

From the fact that Britain could easily defeat the Qing government, which was seven times its own, it proved that the GDP data was not the "truth" and it could never represent national strength. During the Opium War, although Britain's GDP was only the second, Britain's pig iron and coal production accounted for half of the world. In that era, iron and coal represented the rise and fall of the world's highest technological product powers, and the total economic output itself did not have much significance. Its quality and composition were more important! During the Opium War, Britain's GDP composition was machines and cannons, while the Qing government's composition was porcelain, silk and food. When the two sides collided together, they were naturally defeated."

Speaking of this, Feng Yi's tone showed a slight emotional fluctuation.

"The Opium War did not wake up the Qing government, but defeated our neighbors across the sea... Japan. Japan began to vigorously learn from the West to carry out the industrial revolution, and replaced the samurai sword with muskets. Later, even the weak Japan dared to challenge the Qing government. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was defeated. The silver compensated by the Qing government was equivalent to the total GDP of Japan for seven years. Its own GDP was not enough, so it was enough to directly grab the Qing government's.

The core reason why the Qing government lost to Britain in the Opium War was not only large but not strong, but also an important point was that the per capita GDP was very low. At that time, the total output of hundreds of millions of Qing farmers would make 5 million British workers feel inferior. However, most of the output of the Qing farmers was consumed by themselves, and it was difficult to raise excess materials for the government to use for military purposes. The resources that the British government could actually raise from 5 million British workers were much larger than that of the Qing government. Therefore, even if the Qing government had the same technology tree as the British government at that time, the final result would be lost, which determines the strength of a country. To be precise, it is the remaining amount of money that can be collected and the productivity of scientific and technological products.

Let’s look back at the actual situation. Now our country is the last country in the world with a complete industrial system, with 41 major industrial categories, 207 medium categories, 666 subcategories, and more than 600 subcategories, we have more than 220 industrial products. The output of all industrial categories is that if a war breaks out, we are blocked by the whole world, and any parts you need can be purchased domestically.

As our country conquers all important high-end industries in the future and controls lucrative products in our own hands, we will become a real superpower without any suspense!”

At the end, Feng Yi was infected by his emotions and couldn't help but feel a little excited, and said with a slight slight : "I believe that our country is now, and even more so, the future."

Chen Liang raised his eyebrows, and his eyes looking at Feng Yi could not help but reveal a hint of surprise.

As Ningxi, or even the youngest county magistrate in the country, he thought that this record was mostly due to the contribution of the governor's father behind Feng Yi, but now it seems that he has looked at people with tinted glasses and his ideas are biased.

Feng Yi's broad vision and clear cognition are amazing.

"What are you doing when you stand in a stand? Applause."

Gu Yanzhi clapped his hands gently and smiled, "Feng Yi, I'll be farewell for three days. You should look at him with admiration. I think you are a talented person when you go further. You should go there to attend classes, it's the present and the future, tsk tsk..."

"Sister Gu, don't let me down."

Feng Yi smiled bitterly, after saying so much, he was a little thirsty, and was about to pour wine for himself, Zhang Yuru took the lead and was full of unconcealed admiration.

"Feng Yi, you are so powerful and you know a lot."

What attracts girls like her is definitely not power or wealth, but character and talent.

"If every politician has the vision and perception of you, then great rejuvenation is really not a dream."

Chen Liang was moved and grabbed the wine glass and touched Feng Yi.

There are too many people who are living in corpses now. Not to mention that Feng Yi has known the domestic industrial system like this, they may not even be able to answer when the Opium War broke out.

"Brother Chen, I've been too proud. I just did my best to live up to my responsibilities."

Chen Liang believed that the other party was not lying.

With Feng Yi's family background, like many second-generation children, how fragrant is the prince who lives in a free life with a bright clothes and anger?

He has such capital.

But he chose the most difficult road.

If you don’t really want to do your part for this country, why bother?

"Everyone can do my job, but Brother Chen, you are different. You are the role model for us and the role model to learn from."

This is not just politeness.

After the firing incident, Feng Yi became extremely curious about Chen Liang's background and did not take much effort. He just called Yuan Zhi and Yuan Zhi shook it all out.

After listening to it, Feng Yi remained silent for a long time and felt ashamed of himself.

Listening to their words and I, Gu Yanzhi couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, you two old men are praising each other here, are you blushing?"

Zhang Yuru covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Feng Yi and Chen Liang looked at each other and smiled.

Several people started to have a meal, talking and laughing.

In a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, Chen Liang's cell phone rang, abruptly and urgently.
