Wang Jian smiled and said: "This is where I suspect, I am not a perfect person, I was chased and killed, and I had no choice but to run in, if it was really so high-spirited, why didn't it be implemented earlier, the most important thing is, what about human nature?"

The two women didn't speak, in fact it wasn't a topic they had thought about, it was a bit heavy.

"I don't want to say anything about benevolence and righteousness, even if the Gongsun Shu family just ran away from the secret realm, they can still fight back to the earth, fight back against their homeland, and even make great efforts, do some superficial articles, issue land certificates to the soldiers, and say that as long as they fight out, everyone can be a big landlord, well, this is the problem, how many generations can it last?"

"The most critical thing is that the problem of human nature, after a few generations, people's minds have changed, and they have begun to decay, in fact, it may not be how it is, but there is a problem, after all, the people have their own thoughts, and can only live on their own, and can not communicate with the outside world, the new government can not be talked about, well, generally speaking, a regime, with the development, must be the governance of the superfluous positions, so outside the government structure, there will be more and more governance talents left outside, these people have the ability, but for various reasons can not be motivated, often began to find another way, such as the legendary bamboo forest seven sages。 ”

Long Yifei said: "At this time, what are you still talking about, what is the system of others, it is none of your business. ”

Wang Jian pointed out the window and said: "I just observed, when those people were harvesting, many people worked together, so to speak, they were happy, there was no dissatisfaction, and it seemed that there was no distinction between class and inferiority, of course, the real nobles will definitely not appear easily, but my feeling, how did they maintain for a thousand years? Two thousand years." ”

Long Yifei said: "This is not for outsiders to know, of course, they have never cut off communication with the outside world, this is true, it seems that even when the world is in turmoil, some people know that if you send news from the outside world to the secret realm, you can get food and rewards." ”

This is difficult to explain, Wang Jian shook his head, in political science, it is very incredible that the regime of the secret realm can be maintained.

First of all, it is necessary to understand the reasons for the change of dynasties, what led to the fall of the old dynasties and the establishment of new regimes?

Except for the three divisions and the addition of yellow robes, which are slightly more civilized ways of changing dynasties, most of them are based on "iron and blood", so the frequency and scale of wars can lead to the change of dynasties. War and peace take turns in the country, the new regime overthrows the decadent old regime, the new regime makes every effort to develop the economy and culture, and the new regime becomes super powerful and reaches its peak; the new regime is slowly going downhill, and there are more and more problems such as corruption and social contradictions; the new regime becomes super corrupt and all kinds of contradictions reach the peak; and finally the new regime becomes the old regime that it overthrew at the beginning, and the new regime overthrows it again.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

What does a dynasty mean?

Power is sent through an elaborate network from the center to every periphery, that is, every household.

Based on the county system and supported by a well-developed transportation and clerical network, a complete centralized system has been established.

For thousands of years, China was the only country in the world where the central government could directly tax every peasant.

This centralization had the great advantage of ensuring stable tax revenues and a strong mobilization capacity for wars and major projects, so dynasties that were able to grasp both of these advantages were known throughout history.

So, why can't the great prosperity last?

Because economic development is fluctuating and flexible, the rigid management system established by measuring land and examining household registration for a while will gradually fail to conform to the status quo and lose efficiency over time.

According to the laws of feudal economy, land property rights will gradually be transferred to a small number of people, which is also the problem of land annexation.

A change in land property rights meant a change in personal relations, and more and more self-sufficient yeoman farmers lost their land and became tenant farmers dependent on one landlord. Every time a yeoman farmer becomes a tenant farmer, it means that the central government's actual control over the local area is reduced by one point. The imperial court could not receive a dime from him, nor could it directly levy him troops and labor to expand the country.

The local powerful forces have sufficient profit motives to conceal the land and population under their names, and here we must especially take into account the problem of population surge during the period of economic prosperity, which weakens the power of the central government while expanding its own power, and becomes the biggest centrifugal force of the centralized system.

The central power, which lacks tax revenue and manpower, will become increasingly incapable of fending off external aggression and disaster relief, leading to new factors of instability.

So, if the central government takes a hard-line stance to re-measure and divide land, take stock of the population, and regain control of the grassroots of society, will it be feasible?

At the end of the troubled times, most of the population lost their land and property and became starving refugees. However, after the political situation has stabilized, any attempt to destroy the existing property rights relations and obstruct the sale of land and serfs will inevitably harm the interests of the landlord group and even some yeoman peasants, and thus will be fiercely resisted. So everyone can only sit back and wait for a chaotic era that destroys everything and reshuffle the cards.

In this process, it is certainly not that no one can see where the question is, so it is not that no one is trying to save the crisis, but it is useless.

Therefore, everything is predestined, in the eyes of the governed, the stability of the small peasant economy is destined for any regime to come to power, as long as it does not endanger its own net worth and life, and can meet the needs of the majority of the people to have their own land to a considerable extent, this regime is legal and effective. The question now is how the authorities themselves can always ensure that they do not jeopardize this stable structure while satisfying their ever-growing greed as much as possible. Especially when the population begins to increase after social stability, social resources are increasingly concentrated in a small number of people, and the new population has never been able to solve the problem of survival.

When the superstructure, which is determined by the economic base, begins to grow, it endangers the economic base and ultimately accelerates its disintegration. When the whole collapse from top to bottom, it means that the dynasty will begin to change again. It's like building blocks, but the number of blocks is specified in advance, and when we first build it, it is very stable, and even in order to become stable, we don't hesitate to lay more blocks on the base to withstand the pressure from above in the future. However, as we built step by step, we became more and more concerned about the height, so we pulled out the building blocks that belonged to the base one by one and continued to fall on the top floor, until we reached the top floor and then collapsed.

Of course, Wang Jian knew one of the reasons.

Orphaned systems.

Troubled times, chaos, rebellions, and the population is almost zero, it can start again in no man's land.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the "last year of the Zhou Dynasty", you see how wonderful, the Lu State even came out with the policy of "the treasury pays for slaves", which is only available in modern welfare states; but after the Qin and Han dynasties, there was only one option left in the last years of the dynasty, "return to zero".

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were not an isolated system, and countries were naturally willing to spend great efforts to rectify themselves in order to "compete for hegemony among princes" - at least they could not be pinched to death by anyone who came over.

Later dynasties were isolated systems, and the enemy's external troubles were not to be worried. At this time, there is a danger of losing the support of the bureaucratic class in rectifying oneself -- unlike in the Spring and Autumn Period, when oneself was rectified only one might die, and if one did not rectify oneself it would definitely die, the ruling clique was more inclined to "continue the system that did not seem to have much trouble in the past," and it did not dare to carry out reforms that hurt the bones unless it was absolutely necessary.

This seems to be an inconspicuous small difference; but the accumulation of adult years makes the difference between heaven and earth: in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu Kingdom, the monarch could even think of and take care of those who were "exiled to foreign countries as slaves"; in the Ming Dynasty, a large group of people were turned into the "Yellow Book" of evil government, and they were forced to go bankrupt and sell their children and daughters to become exiles, and the emperor not only turned a blind eye, but took the lead in making money from the "Yellow Book Library"!

In the former, if they do not take the attitude of "caring for the people" to the point of "the state treasury pays for the redemption of slaves," they are afraid that the disaster of the destruction of the country is imminent; in the latter, it does not matter if they are inferior to the dead point, and it is the disaster that will be caused by provoking the ruling class. Thus, the former realized that the people were likely to be disappointed and acted early, while in the latter, the erosion was already shocking, but the upper classes were able to hold on for hundreds of years until they were completely uncontrollable. This so-called "the country has no external troubles and perpetuates forever".

Just as a towering tree can't grow in a pot.

How can an isolated and problematic social system really be innovative?

In a word, there is a lack of competition internally.

Feedback efficiency means that the real problems in society are more difficult to feed back into the national system.

External competition and the lack of threats will inevitably make this regime or corporate group very sluggish, which makes it pay more attention to the suppression of the bottom, but completely ignore their demands, and even suppress and fool them to prevent them from expressing their demands, from "dare not express" to "unable to express".

In the end, even Cao Xueqin, a well-educated aristocratic child, did not realize what the root cause of his tragic experience was, so he had to try to show the facts as they were, hoping that someone would "understand the taste".

As a result of various policies aimed at imprisoning people's minds, the overall economy, system, and ideology of society cannot develop normally, let alone accumulate.

This makes it possible that even if Chen Sheng, Wu Guangchuang, and Wang Hongxiuquan succeeded in rebellion, or if foreign invasions won the world, the re-establishment could only be a Ming Dynasty that changed the soup but not the medicine.

The collapse of the Tang will only be exchanged for its replica of the Song, and the collapse of the Ming will only be exchanged for its imitator Qing, who will go back to the old path over and over again.

It can only be carried out after the previous dynasty has died, has been killed, and has been rebuilt on the ruins: at this time, even "copying the success of the previous dynasty" cannot be done because of the serious loss of data, let alone "pushing through the old and bringing forth the new on the basis of the previous dynasty"? Moreover, the price of failure is so heavy that "partial revision" may not be able to preserve the country for 300 years, so how dare you make drastic reforms?

Due to the inertia of human thinking and the castration of ideas by this system, even in an era like the Two Song Dynasty, when "external troubles" were watching, the emperor and his courtiers could no longer get out of the dead end of "forcefully suppressing internal resistance".

The point is that humanity's greatest enemy is the unknown.

There used to be such a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, that is, to let a prisoner choose to stay in prison for twenty years, or enter a dark door, which in fact meant freedom, but it was unknown and did not tell the prisoner.

In the end, the prisoner must have chosen to go to prison and did not dare to choose the door.

This is, of course, nonsense plus two hundred and five, which country will make a joke about its own justice and play this kind of game with you.

But the unknown is a very unbearable thing.

Historically, most of the celebrities who dared to challenge the unknown have had amazing achievements.

From those navigators who set off the Age of Discovery, to Nobel, they are all such strongmen.

Of course, behind these names, there are tens of thousands of times more poor worms of cannon fodder.

That's life.

Of course, the Red Sea is a river of blood, but why don't you go to the Blue Ocean to work hard?

Because the result of working in an unfamiliar area is likely to be a statistic and a joke that has been forgotten or ridiculed.

That's just the way it is.

Wang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, if the situation is abnormal, it must be a demon, why the secret realm can be maintained for so many years, we can go and see." ”

Long Yifei said: "What is there to see, at this time tomorrow, you will go back to Jinling City, and I will settle accounts with you." ”

Wang Jian knew that he couldn't escape.

However, before entering the grave, you still have to struggle.

Of course, Wang Jian couldn't really live in the same room with two girls.

When the people of the secret realm politely withdrew, and only arranged for the service personnel to appear at the door at any time, naturally someone came to visit Long Yifei.

Although they didn't know why Long Yifei suddenly entered this mission with a high standard, because of her position and strength, they all regarded her as the backbone that they could rely on.

"We have conducted a comprehensive inspection of this place, and we have not found any eavesdropping and peeping mana, not even the slightest hidden danger, preliminary judgment, they are still friendly to us?"

"Where is the White Emperor? ”

Wang Jian knew that in the secret realm of the White Emperor, there was a Chang'an.

Of course, that Chang'an is naturally a miniature version of Chang'an, lacking many Han elements, and for Chinese people, it is often called the new Chang'an.
