Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 685
News about the war was broadcast on the TV almost every day, which became a new thing for many Ming citizens.

In the early days of the Liberation War, there was no television at that time, and newspapers in many places were not published daily.Nowadays, Ming Dynasty has entered a completely new era. Although it is not as developed as information in the 21st century, it is normal for ordinary people to have access to televisions and radios.

Every citizen of the Ming Dynasty truly feels that war is a part of their lives. They pay close attention to the development of the war. Where did the army go.

Yang Buzheng was sitting in a taxi. A war program was broadcast on the taxi's radio. The host asked military experts about the current level of weapons and equipment in the Ming Dynasty. The taxi driver listened with interest.

"Guest officer, do you pay attention to our Daming's war in Europe?" Taxi drivers are good at chatting, and they like to chat with customers when they have nothing to do.

To say that these taxis on the streets of the capital have not appeared for a few years, after all, the popularity of Daming cars has not been long.All taxis are painted yellow and belong to several different taxi companies. Private cars are not allowed to be rented in Ming Dynasty, so both taxi drivers and companies need license plates, and they need to be renewed regularly.Compared with the previous passenger vehicles such as rickshaws and rickshaws, clean and fast taxis are more favored by wealthy consumers.Moreover, taxi companies have relatively high requirements for drivers. Taxi drivers wear uniforms and white gloves when they go to work.

Unbeknownst to the taxi driver, the guest he was carrying was a royal adviser, a key figure directly involved in some of the decisions made during the war.

Yang Buzheng said with a smile: "How can you not pay attention? Our Ming Dynasty has not fought a big war in many years."

"Why isn't that the case? Back then when we talked about wars, none of us ordinary people were afraid. Now it's good. The Ming wars are only fought overseas, and we don't see wars at all in our homeland. Otherwise, the emperor is the reincarnation of the emperor star. See you, Ming Jun, now that there are no civil uprisings, and the common people are living a good life, who would rebel?"

Yang Buzheng would not say that now is not an era when ordinary people can start a large-scale peasant uprising by rising up. The state has reached the extreme level of control over society, and this kind of management and control of society will only continue to grow as time goes by. As technology and productivity improve, the shadow of the state and government agencies becomes more and more important in people's lives.

The taxi driver was in a lively conversation: "To say that the fight with Xiqing now is also to settle the grievances with the Tatars in the past. Anyone of our generation who has not left a money rat's tail is ashamed to talk about it. It's all thanks to the emperor. The restoration of the country allows us people to no longer have to be pigs and dogs. When we expelled the Tartars, the emperor wanted to rectify domestic affairs, stabilize the people's hearts, and recuperate, so he let those Tartars go to the West. Unexpectedly, we defeated these Tartars. It’s not like that, you can become king and hegemon after going to the Western world, but these Westerners are really useless, hahaha.”

Yang Buzheng was still laughing. Most people thought that Bai Mingxiu let go of the remnants of Man Qing who fled back then because he had to free up his hands to deal with the country, and it was really unnecessary to go on an expedition.But the reality is naturally not the case. Today, the Holy One has set up a bureau that has lasted for more than 20 years, and it is time to close this bureau today.

Yang Buzheng thought for a while about the position of an ordinary commoner, and said: "How can the barbarian countries in the West be compared with my Ming Dynasty? I see this great war is over, and I don't want to let the king and the duke of Western Europe, who are bothered It’s enough to go back and set up a propaganda and comfort department to manage it.”

The taxi driver laughed loudly after hearing Yang Buzheng's rather "dominant" remarks, "It's so bold to be objective! Speaking of us, all ethnic groups outside of China have the same origin as us. We are all of the same ancestors. We are developing well today because the Chinese people have mastered their own destiny. They understand that science and technology are the primary productive forces. They understand that whoever masters industrialization and science and technology can control the destiny of the country. The people do not have to suffer. It didn't take many years for our Ming Dynasty to go from the decline and near subjugation of the country to today's great prosperity. It was the emperor and the princes in the court who led the country on the right path. If you say that I am a Chinese, I am smart, hardworking and capable. Yes, but it’s not really how much superior to those other ethnic groups, the key is that we know how we should go.”

Yang Buzheng was surprised when he heard the taxi driver's words: "Old man, you are very knowledgeable, you are not like ordinary people."

The taxi driver said proudly: "Look at what you are saying, sir. I, Lao Li, have been a farmer in the countryside in the early years. Thanks to the blessing of the Holy Spirit, I have been engaged in national literacy. I have barely become illiterate in my thirties, and I know how to read books and newspapers. Listen to the radio. How can I come up with the things I talk about by myself? I drive around in taxis all day long, turn on the radio and listen to the programs on the radio. There are always great scholars saying something. The more I listen, the more I Even if you can’t figure out the reason, you can still follow it.”

Yang Buzheng smiled knowingly, secretly thinking that the banner of public opinion and propaganda was waving in the wind.

"I have been teaching the boys in our family since they were young. They can learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and travel all over the world without fear. In the early years, they were all interested in reading the Four Books and Five Classics and writing moral articles. Now, if we want to stand out in the Ming Dynasty, we still have to be proficient in mathematics, science and engineering. I Lao Li is almost [-] and does not have a degree certificate, but at least several boys in his family have passed the technical secondary school and college diplomas."

Yang Buzheng praised: "You have educated well."

"Well, what a good education, I still suffer because of my low cultural level. If I have some knowledge, why can't I cultivate a bachelor's degree or a master's degree, then I will be a real social talent. It is also easy to find a job with a college or junior college. My eldest son works as an engineer in a car factory, my second son has entered a counterpart institution, and my youngest son is now teaching."

"Brother, I'm here."

The driver looked at it, said sorry, took Yang Buzheng's money, and watched Yang Buzheng get off the car.He looked up, and not far away was the Taiping Palace.He secretly said in his heart: "This guest official looks quite temperamental, and his work place is so close to the Taiping Palace. I'm afraid he is some kind of high-ranking official."

He didn't think much about it, and drove away.Other people's affairs have nothing to do with me, and my own life is full of momentum, so it doesn't make sense to watch other people build tall buildings.

This Ming Dynasty has given its people a prosperous era. No matter where you are, if you are diligent and talented, you can always find your own happiness.
