Chapter 3 Cost Governance

Sure enough, any culture ends up falling on a cost, as is the case with simplified Chinese characters and T-shirts. ”

How do you blend in with a government that comes from the same source as your own civilization, but is separated in the middle?

What Wang Jian didn't expect was that this place was so close to his own.

The clothes are close, the text is close, and the accent is different, but it's still Chinese.

Later, it was easy to understand.

Everything in society lies in cost, and the root of all social problems is the economy.

For the managers of the secret realm, if there is no danger to their own power, then it is most perfect to use the lowest-cost way of ruling in the civilization they see.

Compared to the construction of old-fashioned clothing, T-shirts are the lowest production costs in the world, you don't even need to make a lot of complicated cuts, and leftover offcuts are minimal.

The economy is first and foremost about survival. At the very least, one must live before he can think about anything else.

Economic problems can lead to a lot of derivative problems. For example, how to distribute economic fruits involves politics, how to organize to achieve efficient economic development, which involves society, how to defend economic achievements, which involves military and national defense, and how human beings will have the needs of the spiritual world after they are fed and clothed, and also involve culture.

Under what circumstances will the hosts of the secret realm tend to conservatively block the entry of the earth's cultural civilization and habits, and in the case that the two sides can come into contact with each other, and these rulers have reason to suspect that they will be wiped out.

Economy, in itself, means power.

"It's actually good for you to learn from us, but it's just a little bit, eh, by the way, your side seems to be much bigger than the White Emperor's secret realm, so you can use our system on a larger scale, so it's a lot of progress, of course, a proper feudal society." ”

"Feudal?"

"Especially someone said, someone's babysitter. For more than ten generations, he has been a servant in someone's family, and he is still proud, hehe, I will hehe. ”

"Is there anything that is not allowed here, serving my family is glory, I ......"

"Well, you are noble, you are noble, and I like your fine skin and tender meat very much. ”

"Believe it or not, I will shout immediately, and you will die immediately, and there is no place to bury you!"

"Come, let's die together. ”

Wang Jian suddenly patted Xuanyuan Mingyue's stomach cheaply, and said: "Not to mention, are you willing to pass on the matter of your family's secret to the outside world to your emperor, hehe, and, do you remember that joke, a certain billionaire, a woman who has just grown up, is beautiful, waiting for the word boudoir, wants to marry, and is in the interview for a son-in-law...... One person said, "My dad is at the top of the Forbes list, and his family has money, so marry me!" Another person said, "My family has three generations of nobles, and there are people in the court, and there are people in the city, so marry me!" But the last person said that my family has no power or power, but ...... , but your daughter, in the belly ...... I have my baby in my belly......"

Wang Jian smiled happily and said: "It can be seen how crucial it is to have someone in a key position. ”

"Brute!"

"Okay, didn't you already accept me before, you can't understand that a woman changes her face so quickly. ”

"Get out. ”

Wang Jian didn't say anything anymore, but said: "We need to get supplies and go home as soon as possible, well, your in-laws' family is also home, so we need you to guide the way." ”

Xuanyuan Mingyue said: "I warn you, I am not unknown here, many people know me, although my father said to the outside that I went outside to recuperate and practice, but there are still people who know me." ”

"It's okay, well, it's very simple here, although there are signs of deliberately depressing productivity, um. ”

Why do you want to suppress productivity? Wang Jian understands very well that this is the art of domination, the technique of vicious rule.

Suppose that in ancient times, when people were self-sufficient, there were no landlords, no capitalists, no state, no emperor. At that time, people knew all day long to work and eat, and to work and eat by themselves. Why do people work? It's very simple, because people need food, clothing, and shelter. If you don't work, you won't have the wealth of food, clothing, and shelter, and you will starve to death and freeze to death. Labor can create wealth and meet people's needs for food, clothing and housing, so people must work.

What is the economic foundation? The economic foundation is actually the economic system, because it is a kind of foundation, just like the foundation of a building, and the edifice of human society is based on the economy, everything is built on the economy, and everything is for the purpose of food, clothing, and housing, so the economy is called the economic foundation. In ancient times, self-sufficiency and no need to pay taxes were a kind of economic basis. So at this time, is there politics? No. People don't understand what politics is. Is there an ideological education in loyalty to the monarch and patriotism? Is there a law that penalizes non-payment of taxes?

And it came to pass, when one of the people wanted to get rich for nothing, he said to them, "I am your king, and you will all pay me taxes, and I will not take your things in vain, and I will protect you and do you justice." Of course, some people are not convinced, do not pay taxes, and ignore his stubble. So he beat this man, and made an example of him, so that everyone paid taxes to him, and he became a king. Some people want to say, is this not the same as the triad collecting protection money? Yes, this is the triad collecting protection money. However, when you become big, no one will dare to call you the underworld. After this man became king, the common people paid taxes to him, and the economic system changed at this time. It turns out that everyone is equal, self-sufficient, no taxes, no exploitation, but at this time they have to pay taxes, there is exploitation, and the status is not equal, this person is the king, and the status is above everyone. At this time, the economic base changed. As soon as the economic base changes, the superstructure will change, the economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure serves the economic base and the ruling class. After this man becomes king, he will brainwash everyone and educate everyone that the emperor's grace is great, and it is the king's kindness that enables everyone to live and be happy, so everyone must love their king and be loyal to their king. He also established armies and punished those who did not pay taxes and were disloyal to the king. Literature and art, religion, ideological education, law, and morality all belong to the political category and are superstructures. Therefore, the economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure serves the interests of the ruling class. What is the purpose of this king's doing? Is it to make himself well-fed, clothed, sheltered, and played, or is it for the sake of economy? Therefore, the purpose of all politics is for the economy in the final analysis, so the economy is the foundation of the edifice of human society.

Here's the question.

Why are many of the Secret Realms reluctant to learn about Earth?

Because the progress of productivity is too fast, it will promote social progress, that is, the big men in the secret realm, the butt is unstable.

Originally, there were four sedan chair drivers on the street, carrying sedan chairs to pick up the old man, but later productivity improved, and the four sedan chair drivers became foreign cars, which could serve four people at the same time, and the emergence of the car, these four people became four taxi drivers, and it was even faster.

But, the question is, what about the king of the secret realm?

I'm also very embarrassed.

Wang Jian understands this.

Again, that's the problem.

Social progress and the world is prosperous, but you are unemployed, bankrupt and lose glory, what to do.

What is Productivity Advancement?

Ancient human beings hunted and gathered fruits all day long, that is, they mixed food and clothing, and even lived less than thirty years old.

Later, when they learned to farm and domesticate animals, and they had food and meat, they made a little progress, and they got older, and they didn't have to work all day, and there were even people who were out of work.

Later, if a person only pursues food and clothing, the minimum instinct for survival, then, in fact, one hour of labor a day is actually enough!

However, the strangest thing is that there are more and more deaths from overwork!

It's nothing.

But in the secret realm, there is a reality that these kings are often strong.

And to practice this kind of thing, one looks at talent, two looks at hard work, and three looks at learning resources.

Coincidentally, if society is getting more and more progressive, and civilians have more and more leisure time, then will there be people who will start to practice more occasionally, and then, one by one, strong people will begin to emerge, but they lack real top-level cultivation resources, whether it is magic weapons or spars.

Then, against the original ruler of the secret realm, resentment began to appear.

You must know that even if it is a very low-level fireball technique, if it is used correctly, it is not impossible to kill a great grandmaster who is caught off guard.

Therefore, in the secret realm, the top priority is to keep the civilians from idle.

It is true that the people of the secret realm who have the ambition to fight back to the earth need a strong man, but they do not need a strong man who is not controlled.

For example, who can control the right to speak in the family life of the husband and wife, and who has more income, can meet the needs of the family or has a future, can say more at home. This is the simplest economic base that determines the superstructure. In other words, whoever can meet the needs of society will be built and operated around whom. For example, the peasants are the main productive forces, and the country's political system, social morality, and people's customs and habits all revolve around the land, all of which are aimed at making the land produce greater benefits.

Workers are the main productive forces, and these must be built around entrepreneurs, and the modern market economic system, finance and insurance, etc., are all aimed at generating greater profits for enterprises. Therefore, when the productive forces change, there will inevitably be a change in the relations of production, and all the political forms, moral concepts, and cultural forms of the society will change accordingly, and if these superstructures cannot adapt to the development of the productive forces, either a revolution will occur, or the development of the productive forces will be hindered, so that the productive forces will be confined to the old system.

It is concluded from this that productivity is the fundamental measure of social progress. The political system cannot prove social progress, because the decisive factor in the establishment of the political system is the productive forces, but it is not only the productive forces that affect the political system. There are many factors for the establishment of political systems, such as historical factors, cultural factors, customs, and other factors, which lead to the emergence of different political systems in the same production relationship, such as the presidential system, the republican system, the federal system, and even the monarchy, which are the same capitalist mode of production.

Different relations of production will also bring similar political systems, such as the colonial system of ancient Greece around the Mediterranean and the colonial system of modern times, the republic of ancient Rome and the modern republic, although they are not exactly the same as the whole, but they are very similar in specific systems. In the same way, the development of science and technology cannot be used as a fundamental yardstick to measure social progress. The development of science and technology is the main reason for the change of productive forces, and the speed of science and technology spread is very fast today, but when analyzing history, it is not, a technological breakthrough to the universal application of technology, the time span is very large, such as the application of iron tools, and it has not been popularized to many tribal societies in Africa in modern times.

The secret realm exists in the upper and lower strata of society. The upper echelons are usually vested interests, the nobles and strong people who came to the secret realm before, or a small number of people who have integrated into it, the order is formulated by them, it is formulated from their interests, and the interests of their obedience to the order of the secret realm are greater than disobedience. The lower strata are the rulers of the secret realm, and in general, if they want to resist, they have to weigh the weight of the strong in the cultivation society. In general, disobedience is more damaging than obedience. But it is not possible to completely suppress the lower layers, and it is necessary to give the lower layers hope and an upward channel.

For example, the system of selection, examination, and promotion selects outstanding people with cultivation potential from the lower class to the upper level. For these outstanding people in the lower strata, they have the hope of climbing to the top by maintaining this upward channel and the corresponding system, and they are also staunch defenders of social order. The benefits of obedience to order outweigh disobedience. In this way, the lower classes are divided, and the most prominent of the lower classes, the social order is more consolidated. Stability within the upper layer is achieved through the division of labor.

It's the same at all times.

At the initial stage of reaching the secret realm, the royal family became a semi-military organization, often relying on the army, just like Gongsun Shu controlled the secret realm of the White Emperor.

The spell techniques in the secret realm have already been broken by Gongsun Shu, why?

Because development also comes step by step, people always build a community according to blood relations, unless there is an extraordinary genius among those civilians and soldiers, but that genius will be killed or absorbed into the secret realm royal family as soon as possible.

Naturally there is a greater sense of belonging to the royal family, and the magic society will appear in the stereotype period when a super clan becomes the emperor of a country or rules the world, and in this human imperial magic society will appear an outer sect, and the outer sect can be a member of the sect school palace, and this school palace is also a tool for the upper class to oppress the middle and lower levels, cultivating the outer sects that are mainly based on clan thoughts, what is an outer sect? Even the royal family members who have non-direct blood relations, and the non-royal classes are another environment, people in the lower classes are not allowed to cultivate, and they cannot get the cultivation of the true exercises, these professions are cut off, those lower classes work in the scrap area and the like, the royal family and the bottom live in separate areas, and the culture of the royal family and the lower class culture have become different under the surging river of time.

The royal family is also a human being, even if it is a low-level tribe.
