C2308 Who needs who?

Who exactly needs who?

Xiao Letian knew that he wouldn't be able to persuade these smart people if he didn't take out the dry goods. Although the Zhiyuan Warship were his top secret, with British technology, it was only a matter of time before he could completely decipher the Zhiyuan Warship.

"There are more than 26,000 kinds of Zhiyuan Warship. Think about it, why would my battleship be able to kill all the old French ships along the way?"

"Because the difference in technology is too big! There are a total of ten times more parts! "

With a hiss, Gladstone shook the bottle in her hand, scattering the dark red wine everywhere. "Is it that different?"

Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the design concept of the Zhiyuan Warship is completely different from the sail battleship. This is not as simple as just a layer of metal plates covering a tungsten wood vessel, from the dragon bone to its structure, to the boiler and the transmission mechanism.

"There are more than 40 types of instruments that can measure steam pressure. There are also countless different types of rivets and screws!"

"Not only military warships, but also civilian machinery. How many parts did Jenny's textile machine have?" "How many parts are there in the latest textile machines?"

"The increase in productivity is not without cost. One of the most important manifestations is the complexity of the machinery … "I know that all the laboratories in every country are currently studying the industrial and military applications of electricity. One can imagine that the complexity of this new technology is even more unimaginable …"

"The more complicated the technology is, the more highly skilled the operator is. Do you really expect beggars on the side of the road to be able to pilot a Zhiyuan Warship warship, or operate large scale machinery with a complicated structure?"

"Haha …" Those short-sighted business oligarchs, and those Bankers s who only know how to focus on financial figures, they all realized that a huge change is happening in the world and they are actually still stuck in the glory of the past, attempting to eat their old money! "

With a "pa" sound, Xiao Letian slammed his palm on the table and roared loudly, "Idiot! A short-sighted idiot! "

This slap not only frightened Gladstone, but also scared the eavesdropping eavesdroppers into a cold sweat.

"Mr. Gladstone, please inform the doubters that this is the Eastern Führer's prophecy! In the next decade, there will definitely be major labour market adjustments in the UK! "

"When the time comes, an unexpected situation will occur. On one hand, the unemployment rate will soar, and the citizens will not be able to find a job, and on the other hand, the Factory Owner will worry about finding good workers every day!"

"Why? "Because your machinery is constantly upgrading, but you don't have enough workers to operate it. No matter how much you raise your salary, you will never be able to fill the gap in the market …"

"This is karma, because you've rejected the seed of compulsory education. Then, don't even think about reaping any more benefits from it!"

"Still not awake? Please tell them not to think of themselves as gods or feel that giving compulsory education to the lowest class is charity! "Damn it, it's actually because you need more compulsory education, it's because you need more workers of higher quality!"

A deafening sound echoed in the circular room. Everyone was stunned by what they heard. The dark area in their hearts was lit up all of a sudden. Everyone suddenly realized that their window paper had actually been pierced through.

Sometimes, people would be blinded by their own interests and selfish motives. The leftover money could be used to do all sorts of wrong things.

At this moment, the top talents of the pyramid of England had fallen into a dark dead end. They were opposed to Gladstone's suggestion of compulsory education, but the subtext in their hearts was just like what Xiao Letian had said, it was that they believed that compulsory education was a charity provided by the rich to the poor.

Let the children of poor families go to school for free? All the expenses are paid by the rich people's taxes. Isn't this just cutting one's heart's flesh?

Why should I give them money for free? The descendants of beggars and thieves should continue to be beggars and thieves, and change their fates through education?

Pui! If you improve your fate through education, won't that mean our children will meet more competition? What's more, I have to pay for my own money and nurture my own descendants as a competitor?

F * ck you, I wouldn't dare to do such a stupid thing!

This was indeed an outdated idea held by many rich people who opposed compulsory education, and a large number of those who listened in also had the same thought.

But he never thought that Xiao Letian would actually twist his stubborn willpower towards them, and actually break them apart!

"It's not that the commoners need compulsory education, it's that you rich people need compulsory education!"

"Do you hear me? It's because the level of science and technology in the world is changing at a rapid pace. The complexity of the machinery has undergone a tremendous change compared to a hundred years ago! "

"Don't f * cking talk about charity. It should be you begging the poor kids to enter the school. Otherwise, in a few decades, you British won't even have enough soldiers to operate the new weapons!"

"Damn it, an illiterate person wants to drive a pure Steel battleship like that? Do you understand the complicated dashboard? Do you know how to calculate the discharge rate at the inlet? "

"Who will operate the latest cutting machine? Who was going to process the micron grade parts? Who is going to calculate the concentration and proportion of the latest chemical products? "

"Let those descendants of mine who are short-sighted go count for themselves. They won't die of exhaustion!"

Xiao Letian sprayed out so much that his mouth became dry from exhaustion, and in the end, he directly picked up the bottle of wine and gulped down a large mouthful of it down his mouth. The Empire's crisis is right in front of us right now, and you're actually scheming for your own petty gains! "

"Even a spirit from the British Empire's ancestors would be angered and come back to life, I'll give you a slap across the face!"

Gladstone's face turned green, but it was not because of Xiao Letian, but because of himself. Why hadn't he comprehended this level yet? If he had used this method to convince those stubborn fellows, he would have probably ascended to the throne last year.

This was the difference between an insider and an outsider. After all, Gladstone was an outsider, and Xiao Letian was not only an outsider in British politics, he was an outsider in this era too. He could see the problem from the perspective of a transcender, and the results of his analysis would be completely different.

Even the most stubborn of the old school couldn't help but to start thinking. They started to comb through the current state of affairs of the empire in their hearts, and then slowly compared it with Xiao Letian's judgement.

They were all smart people, and since the window paper had been punctured, they naturally understood everything! The more these smart people analyzed, the more astonished they were. In the end, they were all covered in cold sweat.
