Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 26 What is Three Years?
Science and technology are primary productive forces?
Zhu Biao looked puzzled, he knew every word of this sentence, but he couldn't quite understand it together.

"Master Su, I know the technology, but what is this science?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

Su Jing replied casually: "Science is seeking truth, discovering the relationship between business phenomena and facts, and establishing connections."

"It's like we distill wine today. It's a fact that distillation can make stronger wine. It's a phenomenon that the wine in the process boils and steam rises and condenses into liquid."

"Science is to sort out the relationship between the two and explore the connection behind it."

Distilled wine.

seek the truth.

The connection between phenomena and facts.

Zhu Biao digested what Su Jing said little by little, but new doubts reappeared:
"Master Su, what does this have to do with productivity?"

At this moment, Su Jing opened his eyes and saw Zhu Biao's serious study face.

He wanted to deal with it casually, but he paused for a while before replying:

"Niu Yi, as I said before, ironware appeared during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. How do you think ironware appeared?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and replied: "It's because the craftsmen at that time invented the technology of casting iron."

"I understand, Master Su, you are saying that the technology of casting iron is the key to the farming of iron tools!"

Su Jing nodded and said: "That's right, iron casting technology itself is the application of science. At that time, people discovered that iron ore would re-solidify and form after being melted, and it was quite strong. After continuous exploration and experimentation, they finally invented the technology of casting ironware. .”

"The combination of ironware and cattle is also the result of continuous exploration and application in practice."

"In this whole system of arable land, the managers, the instruments and methods of management, and the land all represent a part of the productive forces."

"But their effects are only additive, while science and technology are multiplicative! It has brought a qualitative leap in the improvement of productivity."

"This is why science and technology are the primary productive forces!"

Su Jing talked eloquently, trying to integrate the modern knowledge she had learned into the social system of the Ming Dynasty.

There is only one purpose in doing this, to make Zhu Biao understand.

"Science and technology are primary productive forces, yes, science and technology are primary productive forces!"

There was a very excited look in Zhu Biao's eyes.

He seems to have found a solution to Daming's continuation of generations.

"Master Su, if Daming develops science and technology and masters productivity tools similar to the next iron farming technology, which greatly increases productivity, doesn't that mean that Daming can still continue?"

Zhu Biao didn't care too much, and said directly to Su Jing happily.

In these words, there are actually some different meanings.

It's a pity that at the moment Su Jing is soaking in the bath and doesn't think so much.

In other words, he didn't think about Zhu Biao's identity.

"Niu Yi, why are you getting in touch with Daming again?"

Su Jing said indifferently: "When did I say that the development of science and technology is related to the continuation of Ming Dynasty?"

Now it was Zhu Biao's turn to be surprised.

He immediately asked: "Master Su, didn't you just tell me that the economic base determines the superstructure a few days ago? At that time, you said that the feudal society would definitely die out. This is a historical necessity."

"Doesn't that mean that Da Ming will disappear because of the new productivity tool?"

"Yes."

Su Jing nodded, then shook her head and said, "No, no, how can you understand that?"

"The demise of feudal society and the demise of Ming Dynasty are two different things!"

Now it's Zhu Biao's turn to be confused. Could it be that what he is worried about is actually unfounded?
It's a pity that before he could be happy, Su Jing's next sentence directly shattered him.

"The demise of the Ming Dynasty is just a historical law of the feudal dynasty, and it is not enough for the emergence of new productivity tools."

Su Jing said casually.

The appearance of the steam engine led to the industrial revolution. This is the content of the history of junior high school, and Su Jing still remembers it very clearly.

The demise of Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with the steam engine.

"Master Su, what do you mean, Daming will still perish?"

Zhu Biao said in a daze.

Su Jing changed places in the bathhouse and said, "Of course, why should you care so much about this kind of thing, anyway, it will have nothing to do with you and me then."

There is only one philosophy that Su Jing pursues, to have fun in time.

He doesn't believe in an afterlife, nor does he have any belief in ghosts and gods.

People, living in the moment is enough.

however.

For Zhu Biao, this is not the case.

"Master Su, why are you so sure?"

At this moment, Zhu Biao also showed a trace of his majesty as a prince.

Unfortunately, Su Jing is completely immune.

"Niu Yi, I think you're good at history, so let me ask you, have you counted the life spans of all dynasties?"

Su Jing just asked calmly.

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and then began to recall.

I have to say that Song Lian's teachings are quite good, and the general history of each dynasty is clearly marked by Zhu.

Then using the four arithmetical algorithms taught by Su Jing, Zhu Biao quickly calculated the result.

"How is this possible?"

Zhu Biao couldn't believe it.

Su Jing said indifferently: "Isn't it true that since the Qin Dynasty, there have been no more than one hand with a life span of more than a hundred years?"

"The longest Tang Dynasty was only 290 years."

"Then why do you think that Daming can surpass them?"

Present the facts and reason.

It doesn't even need to be said in terms of the established facts of the future.

History is the best mirror.

The lifespan of a feudal dynasty, 300 years is already the limit.

Zhu Biao was still a little dazed, but he still retorted: "But didn't Master Su bring up the disadvantages of Ming Dynasty? He also gave a solution. What if it is changed? Can't it surpass those dynasties?"

Su Jing shook her head and said, "So what can we do if we exceed it? If we continue for 300 years, we will surpass it, but in the long river of history, what is 300 years?"

"The change of dynasties is also an inevitable law of history."

Yes!

So what?
300 years is absolutely unattainable time in terms of human lifespan.

But for history, it is just a fragment.

Zhu Biao sat paralyzed in the bathroom, his heart was shocked again.

It turned out that I was really worrying about it!
And even the direction of unfounded worry is wrong.

What kind of productivity tool, Daming can't even say whether it can last until then.

"Master Su, is there really no other way?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Shi in despair.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao, thought for a while and said, "If you have to say something, you can."

"Really?"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "What is the solution?"

At this moment, he was like a drowning man, grabbing a life-saving straw, extremely urgent.

Su Jing immediately said: "Niu Yi, don't worry, I just said that there is a way, but this way is only limited to theory, and it is almost impossible to realize in practice."

Zhu Biao said earnestly: "I also ask Master Su to clarify."

Now he only has one idea in his heart, seek a solution from Su Jing, and then work hard to realize it!

Su Jing smiled and said: "I'm just talking casually, it doesn't need to be so formal, this is not useful knowledge, just listen to it."
