"In fact, not only the strong, the power of the ruler also comes from the people, when a nobleman, for his own people to use power, then he will be loved by the people, the people will repay him with hard work, but when a nobleman wantonly uses violence against his people, then it will naturally lead to dissatisfaction and rebellion. ”

Rosen said that this is a common occurrence in history, the so-called aristocracy is not always stable, even if it can raise a group of strong people, but in the face of stormy people's uprisings and revolutions, it still cannot prevent the fate of being overthrown, and even some countries have perished because of this.

His words have historical corroboration, so although the nobles sound a little strange, but they did not refute it, in fact, most of the noble lords' attitude towards the people has been sprouted by modern society, from the original ruler and the ruled gradually to the relationship between the manager and the managed, although there is no essential change, but there has been progress.

What Rosen meant was to take the relationship one step further.

"In the past, the reason why we became strong was to gain a higher status, to obtain more wealth, for ourselves, so after the strong reached the apex, they would begin to degenerate, begin to transform from kings to tyrants, and finally be drowned by the vast sea of people's war. ”

Rosen said that he remembered that the ancient empire was overthrown by several ancient kingdoms because of the tyranny of the last emperor, and then there were today's human countries.

"But now, I think we should use our power to protect ordinary people, because with great power comes great responsibility. ”

"Responsibility, you mean?"

Mother Teresa only reacted at this time and asked.

"Yes, responsibility, responsibility and rights are the core of what I believe to be the rules. ”

Rosen did not directly say that he wanted to ban the aristocracy, which was not reasonable in this era, and it was likely to arouse the resentment of other nobles, so he decided to first take the concept of responsibility and power into the hearts of the people.

He took the term of responsibility, and for the time being put the concept of obligation down, continued.

"Leaders have the responsibility to protect and guide the common people, because they are stronger and have a broader vision, so that they can lead the people, and they naturally enjoy the right to more resources and higher status, and the ordinary people, to be sheltered and live without intrusion, is their right, and in turn, they should also take on the responsibility of producing food and following the rules set by the lord. ”

This is a revision of the most naïve social contract theory, and Rosen believes that it will work best and be more acceptable to the aristocracy as a way to promote the next changes, and since Mother Teresa asked here, Rosen doesn't mind saying it in advance.

Therefore, the strong, while enjoying the right to lead, command, and even the king, should also fulfill the responsibility of defending the public, if they do not do that, then history will eventually destroy him, which is a fate that no matter how powerful the force can stop. ”

After Lawson finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

In the past, the aristocracy had always been troubled by the question of how to maintain their rule.

The vast majority of nobles are ancestors who stand out in wars or production, become leaders, and finally proclaim themselves as nobles.

The so-called aristocracy, although the strength of the descendants is generally much stronger due to long-term intermarriage and good diet and education, this is not an essential change, they are not much stronger than others in the bloodline, in other words, if the heirs of a nobleman are in exile among the people, then he is at best a slightly stronger man, and his descendants will be even more outstanding.

Therefore, most of the aristocracy will use the policy of ignoring the people, and put education on the shelf, which only the aristocracy and some elites can enjoy, so that although they can maintain their rule to a certain extent, they can only cultivate an ignorant public, a vicious circle, and even more easily instigated by some outsiders.

When the Templars first appeared, the nobles were also very disgusted, because the Templars taught knowledge to the lower classes of the people on the grounds that the goddess preached the gospel, which was contrary to the ideas of the nobles, so the original Templars were rejected by many nobles, and there were even regulations to exterminate the clergy.

Soon, however, the nobles discovered that the doctrines of the Templar could be easily tampered with, convincing most people that the reason why the nobles were nobles was the power bestowed by the Goddess, and that any attempt to desecrate the power of the nobles was essentially equivalent to blaspheming the Goddess.

After the Holy War, the remodeled Templar became the dominant force in the Templar with the support of the nobility, and after several purges within the Templar, there were few fundamentalist clergy left, and the remaining voices were gone.

The general situation at that time was that a few powerful powers controlled the Templars, while the Templars controlled most of the smaller nations, and eventually the nobles ruled the people by their faith.

This balance lasted for hundreds of years, until the rise of modern mages.

Most of the ancient mages were lost after the Holy War, and the rest were regarded as heretics by the Templars for hundreds of years, and the remaining mages had been kept in secrecy, but the establishment of the modern magic system led by Isaac Livingston directly improved the strength of the mages a lot, and in response to the dissatisfaction of some countries with their domestic interference due to the growing Templar forces, the mages also stepped onto the political stage and became a major force used by the nobles to counter the Templars.

In countries dominated by mages, most of them have an elite education, where gifted children receive a good education and eventually become mages, while those who are not gifted return to the countryside after receiving a basic education, so that those who might otherwise be detrimental to the rule are quickly transformed into members of the ruling class.

At the same time, contrary to the Templar's practice of shelving all kinds of supernatural powers to create a sense of mystery and awe, the mages did the opposite, applying various magical techniques to production, reducing the production burden of the general public, and not causing instability in people's hearts due to natural and man-made disasters, and achieving a virtuous circle.

From this point of view, in fact, the mages have only effectively increased their productivity, and the improvement of productivity will naturally lead to the progress of society, and the country dominated by the mages has entered a semi-capitalist society in a sense.

And Rosen, on the other hand, now wants to push this system one step further and completely change the world in the form of contract theory.
