"Forehead......"
When Zhao Jun heard that he had stepped on a landmine, he was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Seeing his granddaughter sad, Yan Shu also felt distressed and went up to comfort her, saying: "Yaya, don't cry, Yaya, don't cry, grandpa is here."
After hearing this, Zhao Jun finally understood why he had never seen anyone else from the old village chief's family except the old village chief and the village secretary in all the days he had been here.
It turns out that the old village chief's family is so unfortunate. His son is gone, and he doesn't know whether his daughter-in-law and husband are still alive. Even if they are, they have to take care of their granddaughter and it is not convenient for them to come over.
It seems that every family has its own problems.
Zhao Jun had no idea how many wives and children this old man Yan Shu had, and he sighed for a moment.
It took a long time for Yan Shu to calm the child down, and Zhao Jun had to stop introducing the laptop and began to explain the universe to everyone.
"Children, in this class I want to tell you how insignificant we humans are. Yet, even within this insignificance, we have built a civilization and are actively exploring the mysteries of the universe."
"Before playing the video, I want to ask everyone, do you know how big the land we live on is?"
How big is the land we live on?
The children looked at each other. Although Lu Yijian and the others had chosen their smartest children, even Zhao Zhen probably didn't know how big the Song Dynasty was, let alone them.
"have no idea."
Everyone answered in unison.
Zhao Jun said: "Our country covers an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, with vast territory and abundant resources. Since ancient times, it has been the Celestial Empire and the leader of the East Asian cultural circle. In the confrontation with Western culture, it was ahead for thousands of years, and was not surpassed by the West until modern times."
Forehead......
Zhao Zhen and the others looked at each other and asked, "How big is 9.6 million square kilometers?"
There is no concept for them either.
"Old village chief, please help me unfold the map of our country."
"OK."
Yan Shu remembered the map included in the book of Chinese geography. He and Zhao Zhen had seen it countless times. It turned out that the area of that map was 9.6 million square kilometers?
After a while, the map unfolded, and the vast area of the People's Republic of China slowly appeared in front of the children, making everyone amazed.
Zhao Jun said to the crowd, "Look, this is a map of China. Our country is vast, ranking third in the world. Last year, India surpassed us in population, ranking second. Our economy and military are currently second only to the United States, making us one of the world's most powerful nations."
Is this the China of the future?
If you just look at the map, it doesn't seem like anything special.
And such a great country is only ranked second among countries in the world?
Zhao Zhen was thinking in his mind.
Now their Song Dynasty is only second to the Liao Dynasty. In other aspects, the only inferior one is military strength, while everything else is superior to the other.
It seems that the Song Dynasty is not as bad as Zhao Jun said.
Zhao Zhen thought happily in his heart.
"You might not have a clear idea of what I'm saying, but Uncle Lari and Uncle Nima both like the Song Dynasty. So, for a horizontal comparison, let's use the Song Dynasty as an example."
"The Song Dynasty was a relatively poor dynasty in ancient China. It wasn't a unified dynasty. Its total area was approximately 2.8 million square kilometers, less than one-third of our current size. Its population hovered around 100 million, less than one-fourteenth of ours."
"In terms of economic development, the Song Dynasty was the world's number one. Western civilization at the same time was still in the Byzantine era, and the overall situation was still quite different from that of the Song Dynasty."
"While it may seem that the Song Dynasty performed well during the same period, the world around 1000 AD was in a state of decline. Whether it was the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Empire, the Song Dynasty, or the Liao Dynasty, they were all in decline, and basically perished within a hundred or two hundred years."
"Among them, the Song Dynasty is the most regrettable and the most hated dynasty online, because although it had great economic strength, it did not make good use of it to develop and become stronger. Instead, it chose to cede territory and pay indemnities, separatist and independent, showing no national integrity at all."
"Especially since its military strength is very weak. Our country has millions of modern troops, but to destroy the Song Dynasty, we should only need to send a regiment of 2,000 to 3,000 people with sufficient weapons and ammunition to easily wipe it out."
"Although our country can only rank in the top three in terms of economic and military strength, perhaps around second or third, we have our own integrity. Even when we were just founded and were poor and blank, we dared to fight against powerful enemies and drove them back beyond the 38th parallel."
"Now, as our military strength grows stronger and our diplomacy becomes more assertive, enemy aircraft carriers are getting further and further away from our coastline. This is a manifestation of national integrity."
"Although there are still many spineless people in China who kneel down and belittle their own country online every day, worship foreign things and think that the moon is rounder abroad, many people have stood up and firmly believe that their country will get better and better!"
"So why was the Song Dynasty so poor and weak in comparison? This was because of the rampant corruption of the ruling class and the foolish bureaucracy. The upper class, obsessed with luxury, knew only to surrender and beg for mercy. Internally, they oppressed the people at the bottom, making their lives worse than death, and ultimately brought about the demise of the country."
"So we must learn lessons from history, study hard, and strive for the rise of China. In the future, we should get into a good university. Whether we enter society or continue to engage in scientific research, we will be contributing to our country. We must not learn from the Song Dynasty, which only knew how to kneel down and surrender. Chinese people must have Chinese backbone. Do you understand?"
After he said this, Zhao Zhen almost had a heart attack.
My originally happy mood plummeted in an instant.
Fuck you.
If you don't humiliate Song, you will die, right?
