"You like watching this too?" Ma Xiaoming's interest was immediately piqued.
Qi Rui was stunned. From Ma Xiaoming's words, he could tell that Ma Xiaoming was also a fan of this book. Place the bookmark on the page you see and close the book. Qi Rui made room for Ma Xiaoming. "What are your thoughts after reading it?"
"The Door of Profundity." Ma Xiaoming gave the book a very high evaluation. With someone to discuss, Ma Xiaoming sat beside Qi Rui. "The key is whether the basic points are materialistic or dialectical. If your thinking is idealistic and you view problems mechanically or even agnosticism, reading this book will actually be harmful. "
Qi Rui agreed with this comment. Especially the comment about idealism. Be it idealists or materialists, everyone believed in what they believed. Since he had already believed in it, regardless of whether it was reality or fantasy, he would regard it as reality. This kind of reasoning was based on personal experience and experience, and there was no difference in the degree of sincerity. In the eyes of idealists, the persistence of those imaginary things might be even more persistent than the reality of the things that existed in reality.
The two chatted for a while, and Qi Rui realized that Ma Xiaoming was really a guy who had read materialist dialectics. Ma Xiaoming had inferences when he looked at problems, but he rarely made assumptions. It was hard to associate this sense of security with Ma Xiaoming's usual sharp and profound speech.
After talking about the theory for a while, Qi Rui could not help but bring up a practical problem. "Old Ma, why are you so sure that the Meiji government is unlikely to have a stable food supply? I can understand what you mean, but even if I understand your attitude and train of thought, it still feels unreal. "
"I can't imagine such a big thing. However, Japan's yield per mu and the current situation of Japan's agriculture that we saw when we were marching. With scattered land and rubbish irrigation facilities, I don't think their yield per mu is very high. I heard that you have stayed in North America. Aren't the farms in North America very good? "Ma Xiaoming replied.
Qi Rui nodded. "It's exactly because the farms in North America are very powerful. Food is not a difficult thing. I think you're right, but I always have a feeling that Japanese agriculture can be revitalized with a little change. It's hard to get rid of this feeling. "
"You look like a city dweller." Ma Xiaoming teased Qi Rui with a smile. "If you had ever been to the country, you'd know it wasn't like that at all. I heard that in North America, tractors, engineering equipment, improved breeds, and technologies are being vigorously used. My home is in Jiangxi, and there is no such opportunity in the mountains. Over the past few years, life in the mountain area had been much better. The reason was that many of the locals had left, and there was more land. Also, many railways had been built, so the things in the mountains could be sold. There was also the business of raising deer in the mountains. As long as the deer did not die of illness, they could be sold for money. There were also other farming industries that were suitable for the mountainous areas. The improvement of life in the mountainous areas did not depend on farming at all, but on the demand of the cities. If the city doesn't buy things from the mountains, the mountain people's lives will soon be over. "
These principles were taught in politics class, but now that Qi Rui listened to his comrade's explanation, he felt like he was suddenly enlightened. He thought for a while and said unconfidently, "In the end, someone has to throw money into it."
Ma Xiaoming nodded. "That's right. The more money thrown in, the better the infrastructure, the higher the output, and the better life. This is the same as the construction of our army. "
Speaking up to this point, Ma Xiaoming lowered his voice and said, "It's easy to talk about how powerful those old seniors were in the past. But now that I think about it, they probably said that the ability they have now was the ability they had in the past. In fact, they were poor back then. How can they be compared to now? "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qi Rui nodded repeatedly. The "Materialist Dialectics" he read was a China version. It did not show off difficult vocabulary, nor did it play any "I think, therefore I am." The chapter that discussed "the present is not as good as the ancient times" bluntly stated that if the current productivity was not as developed as the ancient times, then the present society was not as good as the ancient times. If the current productivity was better than the ancient times, then the people who insisted that the present was not as good as the ancient times probably thought that the people in the stage of rapid productivity development were more motivated and thirsty for knowledge. They found a lot of problems and solved a lot of problems, which made the younger generation admire them. Regarding this view, the current people indeed had to maintain this kind of vigorous vitality. Other people were basically dissatisfied with the present, and used the past to satirize the present, using all kinds of fictitious ancient events to express their attitude. As for the more evil people, they probably wanted to fabricate an ancient authority, then pretend to be the successor of that authority, in an attempt to seize power. This kind of people either failed shamefully, or turned into a religion. For example, the three Semitic cults.
Qi Rui knew that this book was written under the orders of his father. He had always felt conflicted. His father was right in front of him. Trying to understand his father through books would be a waste of time. Now that he admitted that he did not understand his father's current situation, when he read these books again, he found that the style of the book was surprisingly very approachable.
"In the end, it is still productivity and the social system. Our Min dynasty used the money we earned to develop productivity, invest in infrastructure, compulsory education, and improve social security. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, as long as we persevere, there will be progress. But in Japan, I can't see that they are willing to invest in this aspect at the grassroots level. "Ma Xiaoming made a similar concluding speech.
Qi Rui sighed. Now he finally understood the source of his misconception. In China, the general direction of the establishment of the system was to have investment in infrastructure in order to pursue output. Therefore, the land of China had infinite possibilities. As for Japan, since they did not have such a system of protection, it was useless to rely on individuals. If one person could really change the world, then Japan would have risen a long time ago. Did the people of Japan not have the desire to pursue a happy life? Qi Rui did not think so at all.
"Listening to a gentleman's words is better than studying for ten years!" Qi Rui sincerely praised Ma Xiaoming.
"That is also something you can understand." Ma Xiaoming seemed to have thought of something and said with a little disappointment.
Qi Rui had always felt that communication was a very annoying thing. He did not like to sit together with a group of people and boast. What about my father, what about my family, what about me, and so on. But this kind of boasting was basically the norm when they were together. There were not many opportunities to talk seriously about the world.
