The power of a large number of people seems to be an absolutely correct question, but is this really the case? No, the power of many people is great, but the internal friction is also very large, how do you ensure that a group of people think together and do things in one direction?

If there are many people, there will be many ideas, and one person in the southeast and northwest will have a set of ideas, which will produce great internal friction, and many things will be defeated by internal friction.

What's more, there are many people and traitors, there are always people who eat in the bowl and look at the pot, and those who sit on the boat and want to change jobs save zài, and the chance of encountering this kind of person is much greater than the chance of success.

Therefore, to say that the Chinese dynasties and dynasties have been the family for thousands of years, and have not taken the lead in forming an advanced national and national outlook, it is not that the Chinese are stupid, but that the ancient Chinese were too smart, and they have understood the doorway thousands of years ago.

In ancient China, only the bond of blood relatives and clans could maintain a group of people to think together, do things together, and jointly resist foreign enemies or jointly invade others, so as to form a relatively loyal interest group.

Brothers work together, and their profits are broken. It's actually as simple as that.

But this kind of social order, which only knows a home and does not know what a nation and a state are, is destined to be suitable only for an agricultural society, and in an industrial society, this kind of thinking is destined to become a cancer.

How much money did it cost to start the Age of Discovery? How much did it cost to promote the steam engine and build the railway network throughout the country? How much did it cost to send an expeditionary fleet to fight colonies all over the world? How much did it cost to climb an unknown tree of science and technology?

Such a huge amount of capital consumption is not something that a family can do, even if a family can come up with so much money to do these big things, then who can guarantee that other families will not covet it?

At the beginning of the Age of Discovery, if you want to build a navy, there will be no problem with the supply of wood, and at the end of the first industrial revolution, the bulk of the capital consumed by a sail battleship is not wood but artillery.

The more money is spent, the more you spend it, the more you upgrade the wooden battleship to the ironclad battleship, then to the battleship, the submarine, the aircraft carrier, and then you have to develop the air force, the armored forces, and even the Manhattan Project.

The ability of human beings is getting bigger and bigger, and the steps are getting higher and higher, and the gap between countries is no longer something that can be calculated by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and it takes several times for N to calculate.

In the middle of the 19th century, to be honest, this was really the last chance for the Chinese nation to catch up with and surpass the European powers, and if you didn't jump on the train that had just started in the second industrial revolution, I am afraid that there would never be a chance again.

Xiao Letian knows the urgency of time, but also knows the severity of things, the humiliating history of his previous life he will never forget, after the Lugou Bridge Incident and the Songhu Campaign, the entire China's artillery shell reserves are only enough for three months, and the reserves of other military materials are also pitiful.

What's even worse is that at that time, the output of China's military factories was not even enough, and 90 percent of the arms and materials needed to be imported, and the scenes from that humiliating war are still emerging in Xiao Letian's nightmare even now.

Look, how can a country without industrialization live?

Money, money... Don't look at Xiao Letian who is now rich and rivals the country, if he wants to enjoy it, he can even live a luxurious life like an emperor. But this money is far from enough, because Xiao Letian has a dream of a strong country and a strong breed in his heart, and he even hopes that China can become the leader of the second industrial revolution.

Is it good that the latest ironclad warship is the first to appear in East Asia? Is it good that the first electric light bulb in the human world was invented by the Chinese? Is it good that the first tank and the first aircraft appear in China?

What a wonderful scene this qiē is, but is it okay if there is no huge amount of money?

What bothers Xiao Lotian even more is that with so much money pooled together, how can he prevent his subordinates from harming the public and private interests? What if this Nima is all embezzled by me?

As an aside, the reason why China's culture of corruption is prevalent is also somewhat related to the cultural tradition of the family. If you only know that there is a family and do not know that there is a country, then the interests of the family are supreme, and the interests of the nation and the state can be completely ignored or harmed at will.

"I don't care if your project is a key point for the country? I don't care if you involve the interests of all the people? Your national rejuvenation and the country's prosperity and strength are my business? Anyway, I will give this project to my brother-in-law, and anyway, the interests of my family are sacrosanct...... Well, I'm so great, my wife didn't allow her sister-in-law to be put into bed tonight, and it's not impossible to reward a double fly..."

This kind of thing has seen too many things in Xiao Letian's previous life, and he knows very well that this group of people has their own set of values, and they will never have the slightest guilt when they are corrupt.

Because they themselves believe in the family world, their thinking is originally stuck in the ancient agricultural society. They even think that their ideas are correct, because the values of the family have ruled Asia for thousands of years, while the concept of nationalism and the modern state has only been popularized for hundreds of years.

Look, they will tell you a truth in very simple words, we have been in this set for thousands of years, we are right, your set will never work. Go into the water, come to us, why don't you wash your feet when you're already standing by the river?

Look, this is the value of the corrupt themselves, if people in this world do something, as long as there is a thought to support them, such people are already invincible.

Xiao Letian won't give these people a chance, he is not interested in letting the torture hall take out a lot of manpower and material resources to supervise these people, Xiao Letian did not come to this world to be a bad person, he can't change everyone, and he is not interested in redeeming everyone.

"Lao Tzu is not a clay fetus statue that responds to requests, people live a lifetime except to save themselves, don't expect others, Xiao Lotian is nothing more than a spreader of new ideas, anyway, what I said you love to believe, don't believe it, pull down ......"

Xiao Letian still admired Deng Gong very much in his previous life, especially the special zones he engaged, which actually copied Deng Gong as it was. Aren't you all against me? Aren't you all very confused? Then I'll make a pilot project, and I'll lead a group of people out first, and it's always easy to slap me in the face with a living example.

Time is running out, Xiao Letian really didn't have the time to convince those powerful people one by one, all he could rely on now was the existing resources, the New Army, the Ryukyus, and the Satsuma Domain, which everyone couldn't imagine.

The new army was established by Xiao Letian, and the Ryukyus were saved by him, and Xiao Lotian has been instilling his own brand new ideas from beginning to end, which can be described as brainwashing and sparing no effort, as for those who are suspicious of themselves, those with low status have long been excluded, and those with high status like Jin Changsen have also been secretly monitored, anyway, they can't let them ruin their careers.

The New Army and the Ryukyus are reliable, and the defection of the Japanese Shimazu family is a bit unexpected, but Xiao Lotian has his own calculations, first of all, the Japanese nation is very good at learning from the strong, as long as you defeat him before he surpasses you, you can trust their loyalty.

In addition, the Shimazu family was also the first daimyo to receive Western knowledge in Japan, and before Xiao Lotian could cross over, the Shimazu family had already purchased three steamships and fought a Saxon-British war in August 1863.

At that time, the Satsuma Domain had 80 forts, three steamships, and even a modern industrial research institute, which the Japanese called the 'Seikan'.

The Satsuma Domain claimed to have lost the war, but from a military point of view, the two sides should have been drawn. Despite the destruction of the Satsuma Domain's forts, research institutes, and steamships, the British battleships were also seriously wounded one, two of which were slightly damaged, and even two captains and sixty sailors were killed.

In the end, the result of the peace talks was also fair, and the Japanese side paid the British 25,000 pounds, and the British had some respect for the Satsuma clan from that time, and the cooperation between the two sides became closer in the future.

If such a war outcome were given to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it would definitely be bragged about, and it would even be touted by the domestic Qingliu as a rare victory for the national dynasty. But the Japanese were very practical, and they didn't care about this bit of vanity, and the Satsuma clan fell into deep thought.

Why did we also have sharp firearms and the final result was a failure? Even though there was a technological gap in firearms, the Satsuma Domain still had the advantage of geographical advantages? More importantly, there was a small typhoon passing through Kagoshima during the war, which was also the blessing of Amaterasu...

It was after that war that the Satsuma clan and the Shimazu clan finally understood that the strength of Westerners was definitely not only due to the strength of their ships and guns, but also that they must have a secret weapon that Asians did not know, and perhaps that kind of weapon was invisible to the naked eye.

It was from that moment that the Shimazu family launched the camp of the king, because they knew that it was unrealistic, and no matter how loud the slogan was shouted, the roar of the cannon would always be louder than your shout.

The confusion of the Shimazu family was not until he met Xiao Letian and got the answer, when Xiao Lotian led the poor new army under his command, relying on a few slogans of national righteousness to set off the fighting enthusiasm of 100,000 Chinese in Naha, when the warriors of the Shimazu family were completely driven out of the Ryukyus.

The Shimazu family finally understood a key point, the answer they wanted was on Xiao Lotian, which was the fundamental reason why Shimazu Dairo and those daimyo warriors secretly entered the Ryukyus.

Gong Cheng and Molière did not guess that before they came to the Ryukyus, this group of people had already received Xiao Letian's nationalist indoctrination, and also understood the core secrets of the new state's victory over these backward countries.

Fortunately, it was before the Meiji Restoration, and fortunately, the Japanese archipelago did not yet have advanced nationalism and national concepts, and now is the best opportunity to mix sand into them.
