Chapter Nineteen Leaving(1/2)
The next three hundred years!
When these light words fell on the ears of tens of thousands of people, Nanshan, which was originally quiet, burst into excitement.
Even with the royal guards at the side, people couldn't stop their shock. Even the civil servants sitting in front of them all lost their composure.
Unable to restrain myself.
Although Lin Tuo's tone was very calm, the meaning revealed in just these five words was enough to move countless people present.
Many people looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes:
"Could it be that...this third lesson is actually about predicting major events in the next three hundred years?"
In any age, prophecy is the same awe-inspiring and fascinating ability.
In fact, those Shinto magicians with no magic power in the market of Chi State often make a living by predicting marriage, wealth, heirs, etc. for others.
However, today, what "Lin Sheng" wants to predict is actually the next three hundred years of the Chi Kingdom.
How can this be unsettling?
Seeing this scene, Lin Tuo, who was under the courtyard wall, was not too surprised. He just raised his hand and pressed down. As a result, the restlessness subsided and he calmed down again.
Then, I heard him say slowly: "I probably know what you are thinking, but unfortunately, what I did today was not a prophecy.
In fact, from a scientific point of view, I don't think that people, or the greater collective, have any predetermined destiny.
Since fate itself is not determined, how can we predict it?"
As his words fell, the tens of thousands of eyes became more and more confused.
"Master Lin, you just said it clearly..." The young monarch sitting in the first row raised his hand to ask, with a puzzled look on his face.
Lin Tuo smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I did say that we want to talk about the next three hundred years, but this is not a mysterious magical power.
Rather, it is a judgment on the development and evolution of society in the future based on scientific thinking and logic, or in other words, it is an inference, nothing more."
"Logical... inference?"
Looking at those blank faces, Lin Tuo sighed softly in his heart.
Regarding this last lesson, it is actually a retelling of the history that humans on earth have already gone through outside the sandbox.
What he said was "historical necessity".
For example, in history, after the agricultural reform, a large number of workers lost their land and were forced to turn to handicrafts, prompting trade.
When light industry cultivates a large number of skilled workers and machines replace labor, heavy industry and the factory model will emerge. Then, based on industrial agglomeration, the population will flow into the city...
This set of historical processes is almost inevitable for social evolution and is a "major trend", and countless problems will arise in this change.
What Lin Tuo has to do is to point out this route in advance, as well as the problems that will inevitably arise in its development, and then inform them of the corresponding solutions.
In this way, when Chi State reaches a corresponding stage of development, it can avoid detours.
Get it right in one step, no need for trial and error, just follow the correct route.
In addition, there is another important thought, which is to use this opportunity to point out a feasible path for Chi State.
Otherwise, after suddenly mastering so much foreign knowledge, the Chi people are likely to lose their sense of direction.
And the words of the saint, at least in this generation and in the next few decades, can have enough deterrence to push the entire Chi Kingdom to move forward along this clear development path.
"I just hope that what I talked about today will not be completely abandoned by future generations..."
Lin Tuo sighed in his heart, after all:
The only lesson mankind has learned from history is that it has learned no lessons from history.
Perhaps, all the experiences he talked about today may not be followed.
Perhaps, at a certain node in Chi Country's technology tree, it will be clicked elsewhere.
But even if only a small part is passed on, the effort is still in vain.
As for why it is "three hundred years", it is mainly because outside the sandbox, it has only been two or three hundred years since the Industrial Revolution.
Take back your thoughts.
Lin Tuoqing coughed, attracting countless eyes, then collected his emotions and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's start class now. Well, regarding the next three hundred years, I will roughly divide it into 'steam', 'electricity', 'computing and information age' and..."
On Nanshan Mountain, as Lin Tuo's voice sounded, the bewildered students almost subconsciously recorded it. In the middle of the process, many of the spectators gradually dispersed, but there were still many who stayed.
Some people are unable to understand the eras and changes described by Lin Tuo.
There are also some whose eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and their hearts are surging and difficult to suppress.
…
In Tao County, there were almost no customers in the taverns and tea shops, and there was no conversation. Only the owner was standing at the door holding a rag, looking at the empty streets with a sad face.
The sun slowly moved across the sky, and the clouds in the sky gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again.
"To sum up, this is what I speculate, or call it, the plan for the next three hundred years, which takes improving agriculture as a prerequisite and gradually pilots it.
Open vocational education and training classes, transition to the light industry stage, and then establish state-owned factories and open up commercial activities...start the process of factoryization and urbanization..."
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tuo finally finished narrating what he had prepared. He immediately threw down the chalk, clapped his hands, and said to the crowd:
"That's what I'm going to talk about today. Next, it's time for questions."
As soon as the voice fell, among the thousands of tables and chairs outside the academy, everyone raised their right hands.
…
Lin Tuo found that he might have underestimated the intelligence of this group of people, and even more so, their enthusiasm for asking questions.
Fortunately, he was well prepared and had real history as a reference, so he managed to cope with it.
If you encounter something that you can't answer, you can also switch your consciousness back to your own body, and then use your computer to search online... If you really can't find it, you can just show a mysterious "unspeakable" smile and you can fool him.
In this way, Lin Tuo refused to refuse anyone who came and answered all the questions one by one.
Before I knew it, another night passed.
When the sun rose and the red and warm light once again illuminated the mountains, Lin Tuo finally answered the last question.
"Does anyone else want to ask questions?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Looking around, there is no answer across the mountains and plains.
"Okay, in that case, that's it." Lin Tuo breathed out silently, then said with a smile.
"Master Lin, can you follow me back to the capital next?" Seeing Lin Tuo's actions, the young monarch who had been awake all night suddenly stood up and asked sincerely.
Lin Tuo shook his head and said:
"In the past few days, I have taught the world everything I have learned throughout my life. As for what to do next, I will naturally leave it to you, and I...it would be best to leave."
leave?
Hearing these words, the young monarch was obviously stunned: "If you don't want to go to Kyoto? Then where are you going?"
"Although Kyoto is good, it is not my hometown." Lin Tuo chuckled and began to follow the prepared exit script, "As for me, I naturally have to go back."
After the words fell, Lin Tuo quickly switched his consciousness back to his original body without waiting for the monarch's reaction.
…
Lishan Martial Arts School.
Lin Tuo stood up slowly, dispersed the clouds in the sky, then carefully inserted a finger into the sand table and landed on the small mountain peak.
Then control the clone to jump up.
…
Tao County, Nanshan.
The young monarch only saw "Master Lin" in front of him suddenly closing his eyes, standing on the spot, then lightly jumping into the air, and then.
This saint who was "guided by the gods" was suspended in the air like this, with his arms spread wide, bathed in the strange divine light that illuminated the mountains and rivers, and slowly flew towards the sky!
"ah!"
"This...this is..."
"Look! Master Lin... no, Sheng Lin..."
This scene immediately caused countless exclamations.
Tens of thousands of students stood up almost at the same time, and some even knocked over desks, papers and pens, but no one cared!
Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the figure "flying away in the air" in disbelief, and their hearts were greatly moved!
"Farewell to the saint!"
Suddenly, I don't know which minister was the first to react, suddenly fell to his knees, raised his hands, and shouted loudly.
The next second, everyone who was stunned finally woke up and realized what was going on.
No order required.
To be continued...
