C2302 What kind of method was this?

What kind of routine is this?

A good round of negotiations had created new problems for Fang Guan, but now was not the time to complain about anyone, the most important thing was to fix it.

Xiao Letian was very clear, Fang Guan's sudden appearance would definitely alert Gladden, especially this Little Demoness who actually dared to take out her gun in public. This showed that she had a very important secret to tell.

Furthermore, Fang Guan had the intention of strongly interrupting the negotiation, this was something Gladstone could sense.

Although the leader of the Liberal Party did not believe that the secrets of the Berkeley's Restaurant had been leaked, because he did not believe that the Chinese would have such a high intelligence capability, it was clear that the Chinese were very wary of Britain.

How difficult it was to win trust from others! The situation that Xiao Letian was able to create with Gladstone was almost completely destroyed by his. This crazy woman was truly a witch.

Xiao Letian had to take care of this disadvantageous situation, and make Gladstone believe that he could let go of his guard, so the following words couldn't be spoken lightly, but had to be said once again.

"Alright, I'll apologize for my subordinates' recklessness first. Hopefully, it won't affect our mood later on. What did we talk about just now? Oh, Golden Age's crisis, right? And my pessimistic prophecy about England, I know you are not convinced, but I believe that with your intelligence, you will understand my pains if I tell you one or two of these things! "

"The first Industrial Revolution is already coming to an end. This isn't to scare people, but from the perspective of science and technology. There isn't much room for improvement in an era where the steam engine is used as a power source.

Productivity, this is what humans have always been pursuing. Starting from the primitive people, savages that are skilled in cutting stone would have a higher productivity than those who are bare-handed. In that era, productivity was the ability of people to hunt and harvest.

"In the era of farming, it's even more obvious. People with metal tools can more easily reclaim and harvest the seeds. Even metal weapons have an advantage on the battlefield, and metal smelting technology increases productivity …"

"In the middle stages of The Age of Great Navigation, your country was the first to invent a steam engine and promote it on a large scale. All this depends on productivity increases... "

"Because the UK's textile, smelting, and metal processing industries are more productive than the rest of the world, your products will be able to compete with the world at a very low price. Take a simple example …"

"iron nail and iron wire produced in the United Kingdom can be sold across half of the world to the Great Qing. The retail price is actually several times cheaper than the production cost of the Great Qing! How do you think the iron smelting industry in Great Qing will survive? "I can only die from the impact …"

"Daqing is already like that. Besides, many of the other lower ranked countries in the world have no way to fight back against the impact of British industrial products!"

Xiao Letian's flattering caused Gladstone and the eavesdrovers to feel extremely proud. But before they could laugh, Xiao Letian changed the topic and spoke in an ear-piercing manner.

"What does productivity increase rely on? "It all depends on the development of technology. A country and its people need to have some technology before they can be promoted …"

"This logic is too shallow. First, we invent and promote science and technology, and then the entire nation goes all out to popularize this technology. With science and technology combined with the promotion of natural harvests, the productivity will greatly increase!"

"This was done very well in Britain a hundred years ago, especially in the era that Sir Newton lived in. You all respected science, promoted it, and worked together to dump industrial products and expand your colonies …"

"It's precisely the hard work of those seniors that makes the future generations of your British Empire as comfortable and glorious as this!"

"The Chinese care a lot about the shade of the trees planted by their predecessors, but if their descendants take advantage of the shade and stop planting trees, then their descendants will have no shade to enjoy." May I ask Mr. Minister of Finance, is your generation planting trees? "

Gladstone's face froze. He had already faintly felt the pulse of Xiao Letian negotiating, and couldn't help but raise a thumb in his heart, thinking: Is this man really that knowledgeable in Europe and England?

While they admired each other in their hearts, they couldn't say it out loud, "Of course I'm working hard. Don't tell me that you and I are all vegetarians? Our love of the Empire and our passion for work, you are not entitled to insult! "

"No, no, no …" "Dear Sir, I have no intention to insult you at all. I am just saying that a lot of your work is ineffective and wrong. You have put in great effort in your tactics, but you have taken the wrong path in your big strategy!"

"What a joke!" Are you mocking our strategic vision? " Gladstone pretended to be furious.

Xiao Letian laughed coldly, "Haha … "Don't play dumb with me. The future decline of Britain has already laid the groundwork. Until now, you all have not even achieved the most basic of compulsory education. What kind of strategic foresight do you have?"

"That's right, I'm trying to poke your weak spot. Countless people in the world have seen the advantage of compulsory education for all, and some countries have even started to take action. For example, Germany and some states of America …"

This is the mainstream of the future era. With your intelligence, it's impossible for you to not see this trend, when a country's large population can be educated, then I would like to ask if the larger the base, the more talented people there are? ""

"But what are you doing in England? They were trying their best to expand their colonies. Although they were rich, they had fallen into the rebellion against the barbarians.

"Didn't you, Gladstone, have a financial subsidy for education? Who rejected you? Don't blame it all on Benjamin, since he can reject all of you, it means that there is a large group of short-sighted people in the British political scene! "

"These people were either lying on their ancestors' books of merit, or had gone all out to eat their roots, or had been covered up by the glory of the British Empire. There were no signs of any crisis at all …"

"It's scary. If this kind of thinking continues, I dare to say that within fifty years, Britain's technology will be able to lead the world and it will be broken. By then, although you guys will still be number one in terms of national power, but you will only be ranked second or even third or fourth in terms of technology!"

Xiao Letian's low growl made Gladstone's eardrums hurt, and similarly, it made all the eavesdroppers dumbstruck.

"Why did this fellow think of the topic of compulsory education as a breakthrough?" This, this, this... "What kind of routine is this?"
