I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【First of all, it is rich in resources. 】

【Sweden has the second largest iron ore reserves in Europe and is the largest iron ore exporter in Europe. It also has a forest coverage rate of 54%, and became the world's largest exporter of forest products at the end of the last century. 】

【Danish Metz has a flat terrain, developed agriculture, fertile loess, and is located at the trade axis of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. It once dominated the entire Northern Europe by shipping. 】

【It also owns Greenland, the world's largest island. There are 31 billion tons of oil reserves in the northeast alone. It is also expected by the United States Geological Survey to become one of the world's largest untapped oil fields. 】

【Looking at Finland, the forest area is 26.2 million hectares, accounting for 86% of the total land area, and the per capita forest area is 3.9 hectares. It is the world's second largest paper and cardboard exporter and the fourth largest pulp exporter. The economy is mainly based on wood, metals, and communications. 】

【Finally, let's take a look at Norwegian. It is a real resource-rich country. In addition to fisheries, it has a better climate than other Nordic countries. The precipitation is evenly distributed, there is no ice in winter, and up to 99% of hydropower is dedicated to electricity and metallurgy. 】

【After the development of the key North Sea oil fields, Norwegian has become the world's third largest natural gas and eighth largest oil producer, with oil revenue accounting for 25% of GDP. Other countries can only envy it. 】

【That is to say, whether in the agricultural era or the industrial era, Northern Europe has resources to show for it. 】

Barrage flew out:

"Hiss! This is a real mine at home!".

"No wonder they can play with this high welfare system, it turns out that their family background is so rich."

"Not only do the Nordic countries have mines at home, but their ancestors were also pirates. It can be said that they have double accumulation, hehe."

"..."

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di looked at the giant screen in the sky, his eyes brightened.

With such rich resources, it is a great place!

Such a precious land should belong to the Ming Dynasty!

No! Not just the four Nordic countries!

His goal is the whole of Europe!

After the Ming Dynasty starts the industrial revolution, the Ming Dynasty will also embark on the road of conquering the world like the British Empire in the original historical time and space, and let the Ming Dynasty's colonies spread all over the world.

……

[Secondly, the Nordic countries have developed industries. ]

[For example, Ruiyi has a mature nuclear industry, aviation industry, and automobile manufacturing industry, and is also far ahead in the world in the field of software and communications. ]

[Danmai's shipbuilding, food processing, electronics, machinery manufacturing and other industries have always been at the world's advanced level. ]

[At the same time, the Nordic countries are also vigorously developing high value-added industries to keep the biggest cake in their own hands. ]

[What is high value-added? For example, if you grow wheat, the seller of wheat will not make money by brewing wheat into beer. 】

……

See here.

Many emperors in the past dynasties once again realized the value and role of the country's industrial development.

This once again strengthened the determination of many emperors to start the industrial revolution.

……

[Of course, in addition to the country being very rich, another core reason why the Nordic countries can maintain extremely high per capita GDP and super high welfare is that they have a small population. ]

[The population of Norwegian is only 5.14 million, the population of Swedish is 9.69 million, the population of Finnish is 5.55 million, and the population of Danish is 5.64 million. ]

[The sparse population, rich resources, and developed industry have given the Nordic countries a solid foundation for implementing a high welfare system. ]

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

The burden is small when there are few people, which is very important.

The money data required to operate such a high welfare system is huge. In a country with a large population, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time. The country must be extremely wealthy.

……

[But there is a new problem here. ]

[The fact that a country has a lot of money does not mean that it will definitely implement such a high welfare system. Even citizens may not be willing to have equal wealth. 】

……

See here.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties could not help but nod.

Indeed, even if the country is rich, it does not mean that the country is willing to give such good welfare to the people.

Many ancient people even immediately thought of the princes and nobles of their dynasty, who all obtained a lot of wealth from the court, and were well-fed, but never thought of sharing with the people.

The court would reward the princes and nobles generously, but never thought of providing such welfare to the people.

For a time, in many dynasties, some people felt dissatisfied.

……

[Why did the Nordic countries have such a high welfare system? ]

[This high welfare system of universal taxation actually has a certain cultural background. 】

【1,000 years ago, the Vikings of Northern Europe had a tradition of public ownership. Because surviving on the sea was a life-threatening experience, even the Titanic would sink, so the life of a pirate could be said to be one meal a day, not to mention the origin of the insurance industry, if a crew member died, the jointly managed insurance money would provide a safe haven for the family, not to mention that they were all on the same ship, so if they died together, there would be no class oppression. 】

【And this primitive public ownership had not completely collapsed before it reached modern society, so under the influence of culture, the people of the Nordic countries were able to accept this high welfare system under high taxes. 】

Barrage flew out:

"Good guy, the tradition of pirates sharing spoils, right?"

"This is an angle I have never thought of. This is the first time I have heard of this."

"..."

Many ancient people from all dynasties looked at the giant screen in the sky and were also a little confused.

They never expected that the culture of high welfare system in Nordic countries was actually related to such a shameful thing as pirates dividing the spoils.

……

[To sum up, there are many reasons for the emergence of high welfare system in Nordic countries. 】

[Objectively speaking, this system does provide good social security for the people of Nordic countries. ]

[However, in recent years, with the weak economic growth and aging population, this high welfare system in Nordic countries has also faced many challenges. ]

[To continue, it also needs to be constantly reformed and adjusted to adapt to the changing internal and external environment. ]

……

Watch the entire video.

Many ancient people in all dynasties still have envy in their hearts.

This kind of life where you can see a doctor and go to school for free and get paid even if you don’t work is really great.

……

In the sky-high giant screen.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[How cool is smart home life? What is real smart home life like? 】

……

Looking at this line of headlines on the sky screen, ancient people in all dynasties were extremely confused:

What is smart home life?

It was at this moment.

A preface appeared on the sky screen.

……

[With the rapid development of science and technology, smart homes have entered our lives from science fiction novels. 】

[Every year, we can see new smart devices and technologies emerging in the market, bringing great changes to our family life. 】

[Smart homes connect home appliances and home appliances through the Internet of Things technology to achieve interaction between people and homes. 】

[It allows us to control home appliances, curtains, lights, etc. more easily and conveniently, providing us with a more comfortable and convenient life experience. 】

[Today, we take one day as a dimension to see what kind of beautiful life these "obedient" smart homes will bring us. 】

……

After reading this preface, the ancient people of all dynasties became even more confused.

What "smart devices", "Internet of Things technology", etc., they didn't understand at all.

So they continued to look at the giant screen in the sky to get more information.

……

[At 18:00, I got home from get off work. I didn't need to bring my key. Facial recognition could unlock it. ]

……

Accompanied by the subtitles, the corresponding video images appeared on the giant screen in the sky:

[A woman walked to the door of a house and opened the door without taking out the key. ]

Looking at this unexpected scene, the ancient people of all dynasties were shocked instantly:

"What's going on? Why did the door open without a key?"

Many ancient people of all dynasties were full of questions.

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji suddenly said:

"I understand. People in later generations call it 'face recognition unlocking'. As the name suggests, this door must have recognized its owner's face, so it opened automatically."

It would have been better if he didn't speak. When he spoke, Zhu Di and ZhuGao Chi was even more confused.

"The door is not a person, how can it recognize the owner? How can it open the door automatically?"

More doubts appeared in the minds of the two.

……

[Of course, if you don't like facial recognition, you can also use fingerprint recognition to unlock. ]

[This fingerprint lock uses live biometric recognition technology, that is, if you cut off your finger and then use it to unlock the door, it will not open. ]

[The woman on the giant screen closed the door, then stretched out a finger and placed it on the fingerprint recognition area on the door lock.

The sound of unlocking was heard.

The woman opened the door again. ]

……

Compared with the facial recognition unlocking just now, after this operation, many ancient people in the past dynasties have a little understanding of the meaning of fingerprint unlocking.

Maybe many people think that the ancient Chinese did not know fingerprints or fingerprint recognition.

But in fact, this is a misunderstanding.

In fact, the ancients knew that people's fingerprints are different a long time ago.

As early as the end of the Warring States Period, there were records of using fingerprints for criminal investigation in China.

For example, among the unearthed Qin Dynasty bamboo slips, there is a scroll named "Fengzhenshi·Xuedao" by scholars, which records a story about a local official using handprints and fingerprints to solve a case.

Therefore, we can only say that the fingerprint recognition technology possessed by the ancients was relatively crude, that is, recognition by the naked eye, but we cannot say that the ancients did not know about fingerprints.

Therefore.

After watching the whole process of fingerprint unlocking, many ancient people understood a little bit.

"It's amazing, this lock can automatically recognize people's fingerprints!"

"It can automatically open the door after recognition, which is amazing!"

"There is also live fingerprint recognition, which is simply amazing!"

Many ancient people kept exclaiming.

Such a magical way of unlocking is simply eye-opening for them.

At the same time.

Many ancient people were extremely envious.

If they could have such a lock, they would no longer need to carry keys when going out, and they would not be afraid of losing the keys.

……

[After entering the house, you don’t need to turn on the lights yourself. The welcome lights, as well as all the lights in the entrance, corridors, living rooms, etc., will all light up automatically for you. 】

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

[The woman on the giant screen enters the door, and all kinds of cool and beautiful lights light up one after another. 】

……

"So beautiful!"

The ancients of all dynasties looked at the giant screen and exclaimed.

This electric light in the later generations is much better than their oil lamps and candles.

What's more amazing is that these lights can actually turn on automatically, which is incredible.

Many ancient people kept exclaiming.

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the extremely bright electric light on the giant screen, his eyes full of envy.

If only the Ming Dynasty had such a "treasure lamp", he would no longer have to worry about the lights when reviewing memorials at nightThe light is not bright enough.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a model worker emperor, thinking about work all the time.

……

[If it is a hot summer day, the air conditioner in the house will automatically turn on and automatically run to lower the temperature, and adjust the indoor temperature to the most comfortable temperature for the human body in a very short time. ]

[In the high-altitude giant screen, the air conditioner starts to blow cold air, and the temperature on it is displayed as: 26c. ]

……

The power of the giant screen made the ancients of all dynasties understand the concept of "temperature".

Then, the ancients were stunned.

"Ah? There is actually a machine that can adjust the temperature of the house?"

"Too amazing! Too incredible!"

In many dynasties, many ancients exclaimed in disbelief.

At this moment.

Whether it is the emperors, the princes and nobles, or the ordinary people, they are all envious.

Although there were various ways to avoid the heat in ancient times, such as fanning, ice cubes, cold drinks, etc., the effects were only average and could not be compared with air conditioning.

So they were so shocked to see that the air conditioner could lower the temperature in the house in a very short time.

"This is a magic weapon!"

Many ancient people could not help but shout.

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the air conditioner in the sky, but he was so envious and even a little jealous.

Such a good thing, such a magic weapon, ordinary people in later generations can enjoy it, but he, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor respected by the world, did not have the opportunity to use it.

Li Shimin once again felt the technological gap between the two worlds.

"Hey, if there was such a magic weapon, why would I go to Ganquan Palace in the hot summer with a large army."

Li Shimin sighed in his heart.

……

[Of course, if it is a cold winter day, there is also smart electric floor heating, which can quickly raise the temperature to a suitable temperature. ]

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

The high-altitude giant screen demonstrated the operation of smart electric floor heating.

The ancient people of all dynasties were stunned again.

"In addition to the artifact that lowers the temperature, there is also an artifact that raises the temperature!"

"The lives of the people in later generations are too good!"

Not only many ordinary people in all dynasties think so, but also many emperors in all dynasties would have such thoughts.

There was even a moment when they felt that being an emperor in ancient times was not as good as being an ordinary citizen in later generations.

Of course, this is naturally a joke.

……

[If you like music, the smart speaker has started playing your latest favorite music at this time. 】

……

Looking at the small and beautiful smart speaker, listening to the beautiful music.

Many ancient people from all dynasties exclaimed again:

"What is this? Why can it make a sound?"

Tang Xuanzongplane.

The famous artist Emperor Li Longji stared at the smart speaker on the giant screen, his eyes shining:

"Treasure! Treasure!"

The speaker with a very beautiful appearance, combined with the melodious music, immediately hit the heart of the artist emperor.

……

[Walk into the kitchen, the smart rice cooker has cooked the rice according to your settings. ]

[At the same time, the food processor has also cooked the dishes. ]

[The water purifier also dispenses hot water in seconds with one click. ]

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

[The woman on the high-altitude giant screen first scooped out rice from the smart rice cooker, then scooped out the dishes from the food processor, and finally filled herself with a cup of hot water from the water purifier. ]

……

While watching the woman's operation, many ancient people from all dynasties exclaimed:

"What kind of artifact is this? It can actually cook rice automatically!"

"It's amazing that it can actually cook dishes automatically."

"With these two artifacts, cooking rice and dishes will be so convenient."

"……"

Many emperors from all dynasties were also shocked at this time.

Although they didn't have to worry about cooking with the imperial chef, the smart rice cooker and food processor still made them feel amazing.

……

[When eating, if you want to watch a TV series, the TV will automatically rotate. ]

……

Watching the TV on the giant screen sticking out from the TV wall and automatically rotating to the most suitable angle for the woman eating.

The ancient people from all dynasties exclaimed again.

Such a day is really great!

……

[After eating, you don’t have to wash the dishes yourself, just put them in the dishwasher and forget about it. 】

……

“Ah! Dishwasher?!”

“Is there such a machine?”

The ancient people of all dynasties were shocked.

And the women in small families in ancient times who had to wash dishes by themselves were not only shocked, but also full of envy.
