I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

But such a valuable blanket was only placed at the door to shine shoes.

If he hadn't experienced life in the Olympic Village, Downey would definitely think that the owner here is a lunatic.

But now Downey knew that there were tens of millions of such lunatics on the other side of the ocean.

Or local tyrants.

Donnie was deeply impressed by the prosperity of Daming City.

That is the wealth of ordinary people.

Instead of a luxurious palace, separated by several streets like London, it may be a slum full of sewage, garbage everywhere, and even corpses.

As for the feces, Downey assured that even in front of Buckingham Palace, if you search carefully, you can find them.

But all of these things do not exist in Daming.

Downey sat on the wooden chair, recalling all the things he had seen and heard in North America.

After receiving the kind greetings from Ming Liangzong, Downey came up with the idea of ​​going out to see what kind of country Ming was.

He used his old business to "take" some money from teammates who were hospitalized.

With the money, Donnie took the fast railway of Ming Dynasty to visit many cities of Ming Dynasty.

He was shocked to find that in Daming, there seemed to be no poor people...

Of course, there are relatively poor people too.

Downey heard that there were grassroots civil servants in Ming Dynasty who wore soap clothes, beat and forced poor households to work with what they called "spiritual infusion sticks", and called them lazy dogs.

This is what Mr. Haji, a civil servant who is an aide to the Duke of Churchill, said.

He told the story in the darkest of terms, emphasizing the brutality of Ming people to set off the benevolence of Her Majesty in making them professional players.

But as an Irishman, Donnie really wants to tell Haji that if possible, I also want to be a lazy dog ​​of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the poor in Ireland, the poor in the Ming Dynasty cannot be called "poor households" at all!

No, not even the free folk of Ireland were that rich.

As long as these "poor households" in the Ming Dynasty participated in collective labor and completed the quota, they could get 33 pounds of grain or flour, 1 pound of meat, 1 pound of eggs, 0.3 pounds of milk or dairy products, 0.3 pounds of vegetable oil, and basic Clothing and heating supplies.

If it is the elderly or disabled who have lost the ability to work, they will also get half of the supplies.

This information is absolutely true.

Because that's what Downey heard from a white slave in Xinlu Nickel Mine.

White slave……

The word terrified Downey at first.

But after the fellow Irishman explained the policies of the Ming Dynasty in detail, Downey found that being a white slave didn't seem so miserable.

They work in mining and enjoy free bloodletting therapy every six months.

They are also regularly checked by a part-time veterinarian.

There will be enough potatoes, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, coarse bread for three meals a day, and even chicken and watermelon every week.

As far as the work itself is concerned, although it is much more dangerous than the Chinese laborers, in fact, because of the advanced mine equipment in the Ming Dynasty, the strict risk warning system, and even the superb medical level of the part-time veterinarians...

Let's put it this way, according to the old white slave, he has everything except freedom.

The death rate of being a slave in Ming Dynasty is much lower than that of working as an industrial worker for Anglo-Saxon capitalists in Chicago or Manchester.

The old white slave bought Downey a drink, and then half-jokingly told him that if one day the disaster like that happened in Ireland, instead of trusting the rescue of the British, it is better to come to Daming as a slave laborer.

As he spoke, he drank the low-quality barley wine and hurried back to the team.

This is just a routine monthly release time. If you delay the time to return to the team, you will be whipped.

……

After being nearly captured as a white slave, Downey continued on his journey.

He found that what the old white slave said seemed to be true.

Also, he has no need to deceive his fellow countrymen thousands of miles away.

The poor people in Ming Dynasty are really eating high-quality high-gluten wheat flour.

And the poor in Ireland have nothing to eat.

Such a strong contrast made Downey feel heartbroken.

The financial income of the British is obviously much higher than that of the Ming government. If there is even a ten thousandth of kindness in their eyes, even if every hungry Irishman can get 10 pounds of rye bread per month, the disaster will not be happened.

Downey thought of his mother and siblings who starved to death.

In addition to food, Downey also found that in Daming, even the poorest families had decent housing.

It was a building called "Chunfa Building".

It has the same name as the "Chunfa No. [-]" potato that he obtained from the Khan of Ming Dynasty.

Downey guessed that "Chunfa" must be a remarkable person.

He was not only a great farmer, but also a great architect and engineer, and a sympathetic, kind gentleman with unparalleled wisdom and contributions.

The Chunfa Building he designed may not be comparable to those magnificent villas, but it is far better than the slums.

In Ireland, the villas and mansions belong to the British, and only the slums belong to the Irish.

Downey has had enough of this.

Ireland has been enslaved by the British for too long, and it's time to change that.

With this belief, Downey boarded the cruise ship back to Dublin with the team.

However, there are already two things in his arms.

A small bag of diploid "Chunfa No. [-]" potato seeds.

An English version of "My Struggle" written by Ming Khan himself.

Downey was a little ashamed. In fact, he saw a Gaelic version of "My Struggle" in the foreign trade bookstore.

It's a pity that he knows that he is not yet able to read the Gaelic version, so he can only buy the English version.

But Downey vowed that one day, he would be able to speak Gaelic as fluently as Daming Khan.

……

Chapter 594 Faith and the Voice of Ming Dynasty

Smelling the aroma coming into his nose, Downey took a sip of the tea offered by the maid.

This kind of clear tea, which is completely different from the British way of drinking tea, is from Daming. It is the most authentic way of drinking tea, and it is far more advanced than the British who are crowned with monkeys.

Although in fact, Downey's tongue told his brain that sweet English tea tastes better and is more in line with his taste buds, but he still told himself so firmly.

But what Downey doesn't know is that the real tea in his mind has only been around for three to five hundred years.

"That is the festival of tea. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, paste, wax noodles, Beijing collars, dragon balls, or even the slightest grasp, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they are also precious. However, the grinding and healing work will lose the tea's nature and become dull Is it mixed with incense?"

The British tea may be closer to the orthodox Tang and Song Dynasties.

However, Daming obviously has the highest right to interpret tea culture.

Of course, Daming also has the highest right to interpret a series of classic drinks such as Coke, Pearl Milk Tea, Leibi, Chayuan, Yulaoji, Big Walnut, Nutrition Line, Maijin, Coconut to Coconut Juice, Terensu... .

……

While drinking tea, Downey carefully spit the tea aside and observed the furnishings in the house.

It is a mixture of Chinese and Western, but it is quite aesthetic. It can be seen that the owner of this room is very tasteful.

Indeed, how can a scholar who can write such a masterpiece as "The Ugly Englishman" have bad taste?

That's right, it was Gu Hongming, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty who lived in Britain, that Downey visited today.

I have to say that Gu Hongming is a talent.

In history, he may not have made many academic achievements, but only gained attention by relying on his unique personality.

But in fact, his understanding of the essence of Eastern and Western civilizations was far superior to most people of that era.

Now with the support of Zhu Fugui, he has observed more deeply the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western civilizations, and put forward the famous "Sea Martial Art Theory".

That is to say, marine civilization based on pirate culture is naturally despicable, while Chinese civilization based on river governance culture is naturally noble.

If one day, as in Mr. Huang He's delusional novels "Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth" (magic version), there are alien creatures who conquer or destroy human beings, the only ones that have the possibility and ability to lead human beings to victory, It must be Chinese civilization.

Dominating the world by China is not a hegemonic thinking, but a choice that must be made for the well-being and future of all mankind.

I have to say that what Gu Hongming said was too good, too much.

So with his three sentences, Zhu Fugui specially approved 5 Ming Yuan from his internal funds to fund Gu Hongming's academic research.

That's why in Edinburgh, he can live in a decent big house and hire beautiful Scottish maids.

It must be stated that this is a purely academic funding that does not involve ideological or political purposes, and is very ethical.

Even so, these private financial exchanges are not enough for outsiders.

The only thing Downey knows is that Mr. Gu Hongming is the most proficient in Ming culture and Zhu Fuguiism that can be found in the British Isles.

He came to visit Mr. Gu Hongming today because there are many places in "My Struggle" that are difficult to understand, and he hopes that Mr. Gu can answer the questions.

Of course, traveling from Dublin to Edinburgh is not cheap either.

Supporting Downey's coming, what gave him confidence was that the "Chunfa No. 60" potato bestowed by Daming Khan was ready to be harvested after more than [-] days of growth.

Although due to insufficient planting time and shortage of chemical fertilizers, this batch of potatoes did not grow to 2 tons per mu as Daming Khan said.

But the yield is still amazing!

This shows that Daming Khan said that Daming has the best seeds in the world, and these seeds are all obtained through my hard work. This statement is not groundless, it is true!

This made Downey, and Downey very excited.

He believed that by relying on these potatoes, the Irish would avoid famine.

The premise is that it should go to hell, and the Brits who are fried in oil until golden on both sides, don’t increase taxes, and don’t intensify their plundering!

more importantly.

Since the potato is real, then of course Zhu Fuguiism is also true, and "My Struggle" is also true!

Therefore, in any case, Downey must go to Edinburgh, Scotland, to seek advice from Gu Hongming scholars.

……

The rain outside the window was still dripping.

No sooner had the tea been finished than the maid appeared, refilled the cup, and then withdrew again.

It has to be said that Gu Hongming's level of selecting women is as high as his language level.

Downey looked up at the clock, which was a Roman-style clock made in Daming.

The pointer above points to eight o'clock.

A gray dove popped out from the clock, "Dove!", "Dove" chirped eight times.

Beside the pigeon clock, is a radio.

Donnie had heard of such radios.

The radios developed by the Royal Academy of Sciences cost 500 pounds (about 13 RMB) each, which is not affordable by ordinary people at all.

However, the radio smuggled from Ming Dynasty only cost 50 pounds. Although it is still very expensive, if the ordinary people save a little, they can buy one.

And Downey knew that in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, such a Ming-made radio cost less than 5 pounds.

It's a pity that Downey didn't buy one to bring back because most of his teammates were poor ghosts.

Not enough money to buy radios, but not enough money to bribe customs employees in the Port of Liverpool.

That would cost at least £20.

Donnie looked at the radio curiously, but the maid suddenly appeared again and turned on the radio.

"Thank you!" Downey said.
