Chapter 5718: The powers are coming from thousands of miles away

Speaking of this, Liu Yu's tone gradually grew: "But I believe that with the intelligence and intelligence of the people, as long as they are given the opportunity to display their talents, everyone is like a dragon, and these things can be made by themselves sooner or later. The premise of making them is that you, a demon like you, exit the world as soon as possible, and don't harm others again!"

The ancestor laughed and shook his head and said, "You really believe that the little technology that mortals have tinkered with can be compared with the gods who have lived in this world for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. I admit that maybe my current magic power is not enough to suppress and understand the technologies in your later generations, but as long as I ascend to immortality and become a god and gain more knowledge and power, your things are not worth mentioning to me. Moreover, I am willing to chat with you now. The great gods who are stronger than me are disdainful of you and do not want to pay attention to you at all. Do you think he is afraid of you or your later generations of technology?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I only know that in our later eras, you, the so-called great gods who call the wind and rain, have disappeared invisible. Faced with the invasion of Western powers or the subsequent attack of Japan, all the gods and immortals in our Middle-earth world have not appeared, only our Chinese nation is fighting themselves."

The ancestor frowned: "Are there really no gods to help you resist foreign enemies? Then, according to what you said, the Qing Dynasty was behind the Western powers at that time. After winning the Qing Dynasty's army, wouldn't it take advantage of the situation to occupy China's land or even destroy the country and the clan?"

"For thousands of years, if the people of China encounter invasion by powerful external enemies, they will often recognize the current affairs as heroes, surrender and depend on them. Just like in this era, most of the powerful people in the north serve the barbarians. The Western powers traveled thousands of miles, took large ships and brought their troops to the southeast coast. They obviously had a great appetite. You have also said that they were colonized all the way and did not want to support and manage the people and tribesmen from all over the country. They just used local nobles and leaders to manage them, force them to work, mine various ores, and then transport them back to the local area to serve as raw materials for their own industrialized machines. Yes."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, those machines are not entirely used for war or killing people. Most machines are used for production, just like the clothes we wear now are woven with spinning wheels and yarn. However, in later generations, when industrial production was produced, such machines could produce ten times more than a hundred times more than a cloth spun by manpower. Similarly, the same is true for plowing fields and farming. There are various agricultural machines that can achieve large-scale production with very little manpower, which is equivalent to countless tireless cattle and sheep, who can pull iron plows, cultivate the land, weed and sow seeds."

The ancestor gritted his teeth: "I can imagine that using mechanisms to produce can obtain materials that are far beyond the current production capacity, making people feel free to eat and clothing, but what does this have to do with the invasion of the Central Plains of the Great Powers? Did they come from thousands of miles to allow us to have food and cloth and clothes? Let us the people of China live a good life?"

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Of course not, the imperialist powers were not kind, but in the later generations, when food and agriculture no longer became the top priority for mankind, the exchanges between countries that span the entire earth and experienced tens of thousands of miles of land and sea have become more profitable. In other words, commerce is the purpose of spreading the industrial products produced by Western powers and transporting them to every country in the world, so that these countries can take out what they need for exchange."

The ancestor frowned: "But if these countries are directly eliminated, occupied by themselves, and governed by their own prefectures and counties, wouldn't it be more direct? Isn't it better to collect taxes like this than to engage in commercial trade?"

Liu Yu said calmly: "Even in later generations, the distance is too far, it is easy to cause huge problems in transportation and management. The colonial system established by the Western powers is because in many cases, officials sent to other places for management, including those who immigrate to these places, will gradually become independent and no longer obey the orders of the rulers of these powerful countries. Moreover, I have said before that the rise of these Western power countries has undergone uprisings, rebellions, and overthrow the rule of the king and the great nobles. Therefore, after the constitutional monarchy, the kings became puppets and no longer had the power to kill and seize. The governors, princes, and domestic prime ministers, parliamentarians, and officials are just for themselves. Once they have the opportunity to be independent, why should they obey others?"

The ancestor laughed: "This is, human hearts are the most difficult thing to control in the world. Who can clearly explain the debate between loyalty and treacherous? Even for so many years, the governors and county magistrates of the border areas will become independent and separatist once they have the opportunity, not to mention countries like Western powers, thousands of miles apart, tens of thousands of miles apart, and the vast ocean. Therefore, they have developed this colonial model and do not consider taking it back to their own country at all. They have suffered a lot of losses. These overseas prefectures and counties are independent, which makes them lose more than they deserve, right?"

Liu Yu nodded: "It can be said that they have given many preferential policies in the process of expansion, such as whoever can eliminate the regime established by these indigenous peoples and conquer a piece of land can become a local governor and become a magnificent official. This stimulus condition has made many domestic rangers and powerful people willing to leave their homes and go on military expeditions, board a warship controlled by a large machine, sail out to sea, and march towards unknown places."

"And after these people went through thousands of difficulties and ended up destroying the countries along the sea route, conquered the lands, and became the governors of the local area. Many people took root, married wives and had children in the local area, and the soldiers they brought often bought property in the local area, married local noble women, and merged with the local people, mixed race. Over the past few decades and hundreds of years, these people have been in power in the local area for generations and no longer recognized the rulers of their mother country, but became local emperors. Whenever they had the opportunity, they would incite their own people to fight against the colonized mother country. There was a large overseas colony equivalent to half a large Celestial Empire. It was like this that the country was established independently and declared to be separated from England."
