C1679 Andreev Journey 2 (1/2)
Andreev was very familiar with the law of sit-down, it had existed in society for a long time under the system of serfdom in Sha Russia, and it was still prevalent in some distant regions.
One person was punished while a group of people were punished. This resulted in everyone in the group feeling threatened. All of their eyes were focused on the target, causing their sense of security to greatly decrease.
Even Andreev, who grew up in Sha Russia, was disgusted by this system. He never thought that such a rich and polite city would still have such a backward and barbaric system.
The few translators who accompanied Andreev looked at him in disdain, ”Domineering? The Prime Minister was overbearing, if not overbearing, would he be able to make the Ryukyu independent? If he was not the overbearing Prime Minister, how could he intimidate the Qing Dynasty? If you do not tyrant Prime Minister, can you guys of the Russian be defeated? ”
”If this kind of tyranny is what you slander and discard, then we want it! ”Don't look at how domineering the process is. You have to see whether the result is good or bad …”
”Someone has raised your doubts a long time ago, and the Prime Minister has given a reasonable explanation as well … The so-called education of tens of thousands of citizens was like the construction of the branches of a tree. ”That's just a delusion …”
”Any good national qualities are painful before they become a kind of inertia. It's like a horse carriage that has already gone left. If you want it to change direction, you need to put forth a huge amount of strength to resist the old inertia …”
”Changing is painful. It's impossible to make that tyrant become the happiest place in Asia without paying the price!”
”And a large part of human happiness comes from the influence of the environment … The power of subtlety is great, and most people in the world have bad habits of throwing garbage and spitting on the ground. But if you look closely, bad habits change with the environment … ”
”The dirty alleyway behind the tavern. People throw trash everywhere and defecate as they please. However, do you think that if this person was placed on the throne room of the Forbidden City, he would do the same again?”
Andreev subconsciously shook his head.
”Exactly! Even if there was nothing in the throne room that prohibited throwing trash, spitting on the ground, or urinating on the ground, no one would dare to say it. This was the invisible influence the environment had on a single person! ”
”Perhaps you would say that the throne room is a special case? Then let me change locations. For example, in the great hall of the Letian Firm, where the marble floors are as flat as a mirror, would people spit, throw away trash, and urinate?”
”There are even some shops that are beautifully decorated. People subconsciously control their behavior and try to bring their words and actions closer to the environment. This is the process of one's heart rising …”
”The same principle applies. Throw a person with a high level of education into a primitive forest, throw him into a desert prairie, throw him into a cave of dirty civilians. These harsh environments will also have a negative impact on him, resulting in a gradual process leading to a human heart …”
The agreed translator curled his lips and said, ”How can you understand such profound principles behind governing a country?” The Prime Minister is using the environment to influence the hearts of people, this is an extremely brilliant plan to rule the country! ”
