466 Collision of Cultures 2
Lu Ning continued: "Agricultural civilization or farming culture cannot produce organizationality, and it is even less likely to have any team spirit. Because in the agricultural production process, a person can cultivate a piece of land, and it doesn't matter whether there are other people to help. If you don't call out, it's slower. But when he sees that the crops next door grow better than his own and the fields are better than himself, he is unhappy, and he feels jealous, and he wants people to be poor. This jealousy will induce him to insult, curse others, or even frame others in his heart. This is the saying that one person is a one-stop, and three people are a one-worm. Therefore, in farming culture or civilization, heroes are used to be betrayed, friends are used to be framed, and superiors are used to be replaced. This is the connotation of farming culture or civilization."
Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, both of them are officials in the court or high-ranking officials. They have both experienced personal experiences of being framed and betrayed. Now after hearing Lu Ning's words, they are nodding and recognizing them. This seems to be what they said to them, which deeply touched them.
Lu Zhi said: "Ziyi, you are right. My personal experience is that I was betrayed by my colleagues, colleagues, and subordinates, and I was also sent to prison and removed from my official position. Those things are still vivid in my mind, like a dream."
Lu Ning said again: "The struggle for power, throne, and dynasty in the past dynasties. Why is this? They all want to have absolute power. They don't think about how to govern the country well, nor do they think about the people. The lives and death of the people are not their business. When the great hero Xiang Yu saw Qin Shihuang's carriage, Xiang Yu did not think about the cruelty and unkindness of the emperor, nor did he think about the people's cruelty and incompetence, nor did the people in the world are in a situation where the people are living in a state of hunger and cold. The great hero Xiang Yu thought about one day taking over the position of Qin Shihuang. The world changes dynasties. Is the founding emperor thinking about the pain of the people? Is he thinking about the production and life of the people?
No, not Liu Bang, nor the great Wu Emperor. What they think is how to replace it, how to replace the oppressors with themselves, how to make the power in their hands stronger, so as to better oppress the people. Even these great heroes Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, and Wu Emperor think so, what about ordinary officials? What about the power in their hands? It's still the same idea, they all want to be the emperor, and the ministers are uneasy to be in the position of ministers for a long time, and the sons are not in the position of their sons. Everyone wants to climb up, no one is willing to weigh their abilities, and no one will consider whether the boss's actions are correct. This is the narrow idea caused by farming culture or civilization. Of course, because of this narrow idea, it seems very stable, but in fact it has long been full of dangers."
After hearing this, Cai Yong immediately said, "Ziyi, how can you talk nonsense? You can call Emperor Gaozu's name, and you don't comment on Emperor Wu's merits. This is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans!"
Lu Ning ignored Mr. Cai's words and continued: "Waiting in the sea, no one can drive a ship alone. The unpredictable storms in the sea, and the strong winds and waves will come to you at any time. If you want to overcome the strong winds and waves in the sea, if you want to survive and save your life, the people on the same boat must work together to resist the huge waves and the strong storms. Only in this way can everyone save their lives, overcome difficulties, and continue to sail. In this case, it is clear at a glance who has superb skills, stronger abilities, and greater roles in the ship. Everyone on the same boat knows that such people cannot be used to frame them. They are the support to lead everyone to resist the storms and waves together, and they are also the support to save their lives. They are the helmsman who commands everyone to continue sailing.
Therefore, in navigation culture or civilization, heroes are used to worship; friends are used to rely on, and strong superiors are used to obey. Navigation culture or civilization can cultivate people's spirit of unity and cooperation. Only when such spirit penetrates into people's bones can people resolutely implement teamwork and cooperation in production and life, and make everyone's strength turn into a ball, and work together in the same place, and can the greatest efficiency be achieved. Only then can our country have hope, the nation can revive as soon as possible, and the living standards of the people will get better and better day by day."
After hearing this, Guo Jia said respectfully: "Lord, you are right. Now in our jurisdiction, soldiers pay attention to the team's battle formation and mutual cooperation, mutual trust, and interdependence. In production, factories pay attention to assembly-line team collaboration, which greatly improves productivity and minimizes costs; when doing business, they pay attention to the team's joint cooperation to maximize benefits."
Lu Ning said again: "Of course, if the team spirit wants to play a role and survive for a long time, the individual interests of the team must be higher than the benefits obtained by individuals fighting alone. Only when everyone's interests are maximized can people abide by it, and the team spirit can have room for survival by implementing teamwork and collaborative cooperation."
Gu Yong glanced at Lu Ning and said, "Lord, what should we do? Even if we lead the people to do ocean trade, there must be specific rules and systems! Fighting alone is definitely not possible, and chaos is easy to occur."
After thinking for a while, Lu Ning said: "A commerce of ocean trade is established. Anyone with household registration in our jurisdiction and factories, shops or shops can participate. This commerce adopts a joint-stock system and distributes dividends based on the large amount of investment. It also strictly formulates the rules and regulations of the chamber of commerce, and everyone handles it according to the constitution. We organize two batches of ocean trade to Fars Province every year, and then organizes ocean trade to Rome and South America, and we gradually form and carry out."
Gu Yong said: "Lord, the foreign merchants have factories or shops in our jurisdiction, but without our household registration, will they definitely not be allowed to participate in the chamber of commerce? There are a large number of merchants in this category."
Lu Ning laughed and said, "I want the merchants from other states and counties to move to our border areas to live and transfer their property. This will be beneficial to the development of our economy and promote economic growth. After all, it is a good thing for rich people, and they also need to consume and invest. In your publicity, you can vigorously promote how ocean trade makes money and let the people devote themselves to ocean trade. This is to earn foreign gold coins and wealth. Of course, we have earned foreign gold coins, and at the same time we also need to buy the products we need, and we need foreign technology and books, especially the purchase of various talents, which is a long-term and arduous task. We also have to buy a large number of slaves to alleviate our labor shortage."
After hearing this, Gu Yong said excitedly: "Don't worry, lord, let's go to the specific operation now."
Lu Ning nodded and said, "By the way, when doing ocean trade, Zitai should deploy your intelligence network abroad to collect all foreign information on economic, technological, military, geography, culture, and politics. This is also for the future conquest of our army."
After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "It's the lord, I will arrange for people to follow the merchant ship."
