Chapter 982 Needing Spiritual Sustenance

The competition on the field was very fierce, but Wu Changqing's mind was not on the competition.

He attended such occasions more for political purposes than because he really liked watching football games.

Maybe he was bored and liked watching football games before, but now his location and height are different. Being busy has made him lose interest in this kind of competition.

At this time, Wu Changqing was thinking about India's future development and utilization.

India's Ganges Plain is a treasure land, but India's current agricultural technology is very backward. Not only does it not have modern machinery, there is no hybrid rice, and even the original planting technology is inferior to that of the Central Plains.

This problem still exists in the original time and space until the 21st century.

For the same area of ​​arable land, the grain output in the Central Plains is much higher than that in India.

In the original time and space, Wu Changqing would naturally not worry about Ah San, and he even wanted to laugh in his heart.

But now, the Indian region has become part of Dahua's territory and Wu Changqing's own treasure, and he can no longer stay out of it.

This treasure land must be fully utilized.

Wu Changqing has thought about bringing modern machinery, fertilizers, hybrid rice, and other advanced agricultural technologies to India, so that the Ganges Plain can become the largest granary in Dahua.

However, how to get these things to India is also a problem.

If you want to transport a harvester and bags of fertilizer to India, it will naturally cost a lot of money.

After removing the costs, the benefits may not be that great.

But if we want to establish a harvester manufacturing plant and a fertilizer synthesis plant in India, a large number of core technologies will be involved.

Not to mention whether those technologies will be leaked and obtained by Europe after they arrive in India.

Just whether India, after acquiring these technologies, will have independent thoughts after its strength increases, is enough for Wu Changqing to be wary.

Wu Changqing is not worried at all about places like Fusang, Korea, and Annan, because they are close to the Central Plains and small in size. Even if a rebellion occurs, it can be easily put down.

Not only is the distance from the Central Plains to India long, but the transportation is also very inconvenient. It can only be reached by water, and there is no direct road on land.

Moreover, India is large enough that as long as its industry develops, it can arm an army of one million people every minute.

Once a rebellion breaks out in India, it will be very difficult for Dahua to put down the rebellion.

At the end of the game, the Nanjing team won the game 3-2.

Wu Changqing personally presented the trophy to the champion to show his importance and recognition of sports.

Subsequently, Dahua’s first National Games also came to an end.

In this National Games, the Nanjing team won first place with five golds, four silvers and three bronzes, the Guangdong team won second place with three golds, four silvers and one bronze, and the Shanghai team won third place with two golds, one silver and five bronzes.

Most of the provinces came to join in the fun.

Even getting a medal is considered a good achievement.

After the event ended, many spectators still had endless aftertaste.

After all, apart from the Spring Festival, the only other grand event that the whole country celebrates is the National Games.

After the National Games, many large factories began to form their own football or basketball teams.

Years of work require some spare time to adjust, as well as some hobbies and spiritual sustenance. Otherwise, some mentally fragile people may easily become autistic.

Mechanical repetitive work is indeed a kind of torture.

Although the income is higher and the material living conditions are better, the emptiness in the spiritual world is becoming more and more serious.

In other words, after people are full, they tend to have random thoughts.

In the past, when there was not enough food to eat, people's goal in life was very simple. All they could think about was to get the next meal.

All the thoughts are on making money and food, and naturally there is less to think about.

Nowadays, having enough food is no longer a problem, and people have time to think about things.

They will think about the meaning of their lives in this world, they will also think about why others live better than themselves, and they will also think about why the world is so unfair...

And these people, because of insufficient cultural knowledge, cannot figure out most of the problems.

Last year, nearly a hundred workers in Dahua committed suicide due to various reasons.

In a certain factory, there was even a shocking incident of three consecutive jumps.

Although, for the size of the Dahua Empire, one hundred people is insignificant.

However, this situation is basically concentrated in prosperous big cities. It is easy to be noticed by reporters and will cause greater repercussions, so it still needs to be solved.

To solve this problem, we must rely on ideological education, as well as sports competition and cultural entertainment.

Ideological education naturally tells them that labor is the most glorious and that the prosperity of China is due to the workers. At the same time, another award for model workers should be established and several model workers should be promoted.

This can give those workers a sense that their work is meaningful and valuable, thereby creating a sense of pride and accomplishment.

This feeling is actually quite illusory, but it doesn’t matter, because people just like these illusory things.

For example, Wu Changqing also pursues becoming a wise king.

After the popularity of video games in later generations, this phenomenon became even more obvious.

I know that everything in the game is illusory, but I still see the characters I control growing and killing four people.

Fang can still reap huge pleasure.

Another example is liking a team or a star. The winning or losing of those teams actually has nothing to do with him, but he can feel happy when his favorite team wins.

For a person, it doesn’t actually matter what he is chasing. What is important is that he has something to chase. In other words, he must have a spiritual sustenance.

Today's Dahua is also supporting the development of these aspects, giving those at the bottom who are living a very depressed life a kind of spiritual sustenance.

People who are unhappy in life and are losers can find an idol. When an idol wins a game, he or she can briefly feel like he has won.

With the support of the government, Dahua's entertainment industry is developing rapidly.

Not only do most major cities have movie theaters, but several fleets of movie projection vehicles have also been established.

These motorcades began to travel around rural areas across the country, showing movies to broaden people's horizons.

Ball games, as well as chess and Go, have professional competitions.

With the rapid increase in literacy rate, novels are also circulating in the lower class society.

If you go to any workers' dormitory in Dahua, you can find basically the most popular novels. You can even find one or two novels such as Jin Ping Mei.

Dahua does not prohibit this.

There is no way for every man to have three wives and four concubines, but the government still fully respects the power of sexual intercourse and does not take away it.
