Chapter 5909: Don’t Be Ashamed to Ask Questions
China has 400 million people in rural areas. France has a total population of 66 million, and 3.4% of farmers are engaged in agriculture, which means 2.244 million people are engaged in agriculture. This is 0.561% of China's agricultural population.
Assuming that the value of agricultural products in China and France is equivalent, China's grain output is 7.9 times that of France, which is created by 400 million people. However, France only uses 0.561% of China's population to produce 10/79 of its production capacity.
How many times is the gap between them? 22.5 times. When the value of grain products in China and France is equal, 22.5 Chinese farmers can earn the money earned by one French farmer.
According to the GDP in 2008, China's per capita GDP is 23,900 yuan, about 3,313 US dollars. According to 22.5 times, it should be 74,542.5 US dollars! But France's per capita GDP is 45,400 US dollars!
Why is there a gap of 291.425 million US dollars in the middle! Where did the money go? It's very simple. The reason is that under China's per capita GDP, farmers are far from making that much money.
In 2008, the per capita income of farmers was about 4,761 yuan, about 694 US dollars! This is the per capita net income of farmers, 22.5 times, which is almost 15,615 US dollars! There is a huge gap from the per capita income of 45,400 US dollars in France. Where did this gap go? Two aspects. First, the income of French farmers is generally slightly lower than the per capita income. Even after mechanized operations, the income of farmers is still slightly lower. Of course, in developed countries, this low income can be offset by the regional price difference; secondly, the income of Chinese farmers is obviously low, far lower than the per capita GDP. Of course. This is also related to the inaccuracy of some Chinese statistics.
In short, after comparing these data, Lin Feng felt even more miserable for the Chinese people. This is still for farmers. As for the industrial sector. Needless to say. Lin Feng has personal experience. In this regard, workers have low incomes. There are also many overtime hours. The so-called "high wages" are all brought about by high overtime.
If you work 30 hours more than the legal working hours in a week, how can your salary not be "high"! Therefore, Lin Feng feels that he has more responsibility and obligation to change China and make Chinese people live more easily.
At this point, it must be admitted that Lin Feng and Francis have the same pursuit. Francis is not pursuing anything now. He is pursuing fame. Francis wants to be remembered for eternity. And for Lin Feng, he also wants to be remembered for eternity.
After all, Lin Feng really has nothing to pursue now. Money, too much. Power, he controls a country, what else does he want? Only fame, although the name of the God of Wind is well-known. But after a few decades, the most that people will spread in the future is that he is particularly good at making money, that's all.
So. Lin Feng also wants to leave some reputation and pass it down through the ages. This is something that no one can refuse.
Those so-called masters and monks who are empty of the four elements. Don't they also seek enlightenment! Don't they also want to be remembered for eternity!
To be able to see through fame and fortune, what can be seen through is just a little bit of false fame, a little bit of external benefit, no one can really see through this name that will be passed down through the ages. After all, what do you use to prove that you have been in this world? Most people, after several years, are just a handful of loess, and no one will remember you.
You may have relatives and friends. But when they die, who will remember you? You are just an inconspicuous little wave in the long river of human history. Not even a little wave. It's just a water molecule.
Lin Feng naturally doesn't want this! Therefore, doing more things that benefit the country and the people, change people's livelihood, change the world, and lead the world, this is what Lin Feng is pursuing now. After all, Lin Feng is not like Paul Allen, who is tired of playing everything and it's time to go to space. Lin Feng is still young and doesn't want to float in space for decades to come.
Although the 'Earth' is big enough to make you think that you will never be bored on Earth and won't have any psychological burden. But Lin Feng doesn't want to float in space for decades.
Unless a super spaceship as big as a city can be built in the future. In that case, Lin Feng might consider wandering in space. But for current technology, that is unrealistic.
Gravitational magnetic field technology also has its limits. The current size of the "Earth" is already the limit of what they have mastered. If it is bigger, we can only wait for technology to continue to take off. But for now, technology can only move forward at a snail's pace unless Tesla's notebooks are constantly unlocked.
But this thing, to be honest, Tesla left some formulas in his notebooks. These formulas are already super complicated. It is difficult enough to unlock the formulas, not to mention that once the formulas are out and there is a theory, how to implement it is even more difficult.
It's like, now everyone knows that there is a tungsten filament in the middle of the light bulb, and then it conducts electricity, emits light and heats up. So, if you give you a theory, can you ordinary people make a light bulb? You can't make it. First you have to find where the tungsten filament is, and then you have to make it as thin as a filament, and then you have to make a light bulb, and then you have to power it on before you can use it.
Similarly, the things in Tesla's notebooks are easy to crack (relatively speaking), but it is extremely difficult to restore them to the real world. This is just like the fact that Einstein was able to predict gravitational waves more than a hundred years ago, but it was not until the 21st century that they were discovered for the first time.
Of course, for Lin Feng, what he is doing now is not that far-sighted. Just change what he can change and do what he can do.
"Minister Royal, is there anything else you can teach me about the environment? For example, how to achieve non-conflict between agricultural output increase and the environment?" Lin Feng asked without shame.
Along the way, Lin Feng would ask about things he didn't understand, and he would ask again and again. Even if some questions were extremely naive to professionals, Lin Feng asked them. Because it's very simple, if you promote something that only professionals can understand, how can ordinary people understand it? If everyone doesn't understand, then they won't do it. Or, let others do it and see for themselves.
Therefore, Lin Feng, an outsider, should ask more questions, and when he can figure it out, others can figure it out too.
"Mr. Lin, if you want to achieve this, you need to make laws and regulations. Let everyone know that you can't do this, and if you do it, it's illegal, then no one will do it. Although this kind of ecological pesticide is more expensive, it causes the least damage to the land. If the soil continues to be damaged by chemical pesticides, in the long run, this soil will not be less harmful to humans than nuclear contaminated land. It's just that nuclear radiation comes quickly and will be noticeable to the human body in a few weeks. The harm caused by pesticides can only be felt after several years or even more than ten years." Minister of Environmental Protection Royal looked solemn, "In this regard, we in the West have actually suffered a lot. We paid a very painful price, even sacrificing the health of one or two generations, before we woke up. And China is only now... At the beginning, I hope China will not repeat the same mistakes. "
"Especially compared to us, the harm of chemical pesticides now is much greater than that of the past. Its chemical proportion is three times, five times, or even ten times that of the past. Although this has brought high yields, it has also brought high harm! Long-term consumption will produce toxins in the body that cannot be expelled. And these toxins will vary from person to person, becoming various tumors, and gradually turning into cancer! I heard that the number of cancer patients in China is gradually increasing, and the age of cancer patients is also decreasing year by year! "Minister Royal lamented, "This is much more serious than we were at that time!"
At that time, the serious environmental pollution brought about by the industrial age in the West was nothing more than causing people to suffer from various strange diseases, but patients only became ill after the age of forty or fifty. And most of them were not terminal illnesses, they could be cured, or controlled with drugs. According to some intelligence obtained by France, the number of cancer patients in China is increasing, and it is incurable. The cost is too high!
Moreover, the most critical thing is that it has not been controlled or solved. He heard that the number of cancer patients in China is the highest in the world. Although China has a large population, it is not the highest in the world. On the other hand, India, which is not much different from China, does not have the top 10 cancer patients in the world.
Of course, this is related to the fact that India is too poor, there are not many doctors, and the patient statistics are not accurate enough, but the main key is the pollution in India, which is mainly human pollution, not chemical pollution. This is completely different from the current situation in China.
Lin Feng nodded.
"So, I came to France to ask for advice!" Lin Feng asked humbly.
Lin Feng's humble attitude made the three ministers very satisfied. They did not expect Lin Feng to be so humble. You know, Lin Feng's attitude has always been flamboyant and arrogant. But I never thought he would be so humble.
Therefore, the three ministers also knew everything. Originally, they also understood why President Sarkozy asked them to accompany Lin Feng throughout the whole process, so they tried their best to answer all the questions raised by Lin Feng, including how France can solve the popularization of agricultural mechanization and the transfer arrangements of the agricultural population.
These answers cannot be obtained by visiting at the national level. It's very simple. Why should they give face to your country? As for why they told Lin Feng, it's very simple. They are willing to give face to Lin Feng. Because Lin Feng is credible! Yes, he is credible! They believe that when communicating with Lin Feng, everyone can keep their promises! On the contrary, when communicating with the country, this may not be possible! Because there are already many examples that prove that China's words and deeds on certain things are inconsistent!
