Chapter 61 Analysis of Jia Xu's Psychological Appeals
It's too easy, isn't it?
Isn't it necessary to look at the thatched house three times, and ask for five to let it go? None of this is needed. It's so easy to recruit people now?
Zhou Yi couldn't believe it, and spoke a little excitedly: "Sir, you mean ......"
"Fujun, don't be surprised, I have been thinking about this matter for many days. What I saw and heard when I came to Youzhou touched me a lot. What I said just now gave me a lot of inspiration, the problem of the imperial court is indeed caused by the population of the Central Plains being too dense, reaching the upper limit of the population, and what kind of system to use to manage it will not be effective.
And to break through the limits of this population, no one has yet proposed such a feasible plan to the lord. Fu Jun is the first to say this, and it is a possible way to achieve it.
What the prince thinks is completely different from us, we are too limited to the struggle for power and the maintenance of the existing order. If the fundamental problem of population is not solved, no matter how much effort we try, it will not be effective.
And whoever can solve the problem of the upper limit of the population will be the hero of this nation. And I, Guanfujun, am the most likely person to do this. Jia Xu said with emotion.
Zhou Yi saw that it was effective, so he had to strike while the iron was hot, so that Jia Xu could agree with this concept even more, and only by thoroughly agreeing ideologically could he do things willingly.
"Yes, Sir should know that the population of the whole country in the late Western Han Dynasty was already 60 million, and the whole country could not solve the excess population, so Wang Mang, who represented Confucianism, usurped the government and wanted to use the well field system of the Zhou Dynasty to solve the burden of the excess population. The results are clear, and the wrong method has been used, resulting in a direct halving of the country's population. Later, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty and reestablished order.
After two hundred years of development in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population reached the population of the late Western Han Dynasty, and the same excess population became a burden on the imperial court, which made the rebellions in various places continue. History is caught in a cycle here, and the elites of the imperial court only know how to compete for power and profit, and want to use old methods to solve new problems they encounter.
The result of this can only be a sharp decrease in population, simplification of contradictions, and finally return to the situation in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. But this kind of situation is not what Zhou Yi wants to see, and it must not be what Mr. wants to see.
It is not advisable to continue the development of this nation by reducing the population of the Central Plains, and it is not a long-term policy of peace and stability.
The luck of the Central Plains will not be so good that every time the population drops sharply, there is no time for the grasslands to invade southward. If it happens that the population of the Central Plains has plummeted, and the grasslands have raised troops to invade the south, it is also a question whether the Central Plains can be maintained, not to mention whether the Central Plains can resist. ”
This is not Zhou Yi's alarmism, the Han Dynasty except Liu Bang was besieged is a lesson, or the Huns did not know why at that time, so they let Liu Bang go. Later, when the population of the Central Plains decreased sharply at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army took the opportunity to enter the customs and Shenlu sank.
"The problems that arise in development can only be solved by development, and if the development of the Eastern Han Dynasty stagnates until now, it will be a disaster for the entire nation. At this time, we only need to find new ways to raise the population ceiling so that the country does not fall into tragedy.
Of course, if the population is large, there will be many new problems, but the current problems of the imperial court can be easily solved, and border troubles, finances, and family monopolies are no longer problems.
As the population grows, so do the number of talented people, and everyone works together to solve new challenges. Instead of being like now, the Han fell into a strange circle, slaughtering the population while encouraging fertility.
This is all a bloody lesson, the change of dynasties, accompanied by a sharp decline in the population. The Eastern Han Dynasty has also taken the old road of history and entered the cycle of reincarnation, who can break this spell, who is the hero of this nation.
Although Zhou Yibu is not talented, although he doesn't want to be a hero, he can want to make a modest contribution to the forward development of this nation. Zhou Yi made a generous statement.
Look at the problem from the perspective of development, not think about spinning in the same place. This kind of thinking is not said to be rare in the Han Dynasty, but it is rare in later generations. How many people just know how to maintain the status quo, stick to the old ways, and always use the old ways to solve new problems.
Brave as the overlord Xiang Yu, he wanted to use the feudal system in the Spring and Autumn Period to redefine the political order in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, but he could only end up killing himself in Wujiang.
Wang Mang is even more tragic, the perfect person in the Confucian standard, but he wanted to use the well field system of the Zhou Dynasty aristocracy to solve the problem of population expansion in the late Han Dynasty, causing the death of the late Western Han Dynasty and the sharp decline in the population, which is why he has been infamous for the ages.
In this case, the talent who can lead the nation to continue to move forward has the best chance of reaching the highest position. Those who stick to the old ways will definitely be eliminated.
"With such an opportunity to change the overall destiny of the nation, of course, Jia must also do his part. I don't know if you are willing to let Jia participate in it? Jia Xu listened carefully to Zhou Yi's words and said to Zhou Yi with a serious face.
Only by moving forward can the whole nation have a way out, otherwise they can only kill each other. As the top elite of the Han Dynasty, Jia Xu certainly understands this truth.
"Mr. Jia can come, Deren is sincerely afraid, to be honest, Mr. is still the first person to come and take the initiative to vote, wouldn't it be a pity to refuse." Zhou Yi smiled and told Jia Xu clearly, you are my first adviser.
"That's Jia's honor, there will be more and more people who take refuge in the future, Jia doesn't recognize the lord now, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Jia Xu teased.
"Sir, it's really humorous. The lord still doesn't want it, Zhou Yi can't afford it, so he can still call me the king or my name. Zhou Yi laughed dryly. The matter of the lord will be talked about later, and the name Zhou Yi is still the Youzhou pastor of the imperial court, and it is still too early to call the lord.
Seeing that Zhou Yi was unwilling, Jia Xu did not bother with Zhou Yi in terms of title. It's a matter of time before the lord is in a hurry.
In this way, the model of later generations of monarchs and ministers embarked on a journey of new challenges together.
There is no ceremony of recognizing the Lord, there is no foundation like fire, there is only concern for the future of the real nation, and the name silently set in the heart.
Maslow said that there are five levels of psychological needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs.
From the low-level needs of biological attributes, such as the continuation of life, to the high-level needs that gradually emerge after evolution, such as the release of potential.
The first is the physiological need, which is a need that human beings have to meet, to live, to pass on to future generations.
People in troubled times generally have this psychological need. Survival comes first, for survival, for the continuation of the race, everything can be done.
The people wanted to revolt in order to survive, the Hu people wanted to invade the south in order to survive, and the Han people had to resist desperately in order to survive. Even when Zhou Yi first came to the end of the Han Dynasty, he also fought on the battlefield in order to survive.
For this type of person, "Don't talk about my dreams, my dream is to have food tomorrow." ”
This only dies to the lowest demand.
The second kind of security needs are also the pursuit of most people, but it is not enough to live, and they cannot be afraid.
Living a life of fear all day long, will you be beaten today, will you be kicked out tomorrow. The lack of security is a common phenomenon in this era. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and he can't say that if the emperor is unhappy that day, he will have to finish playing. As a high-level official, they will have this worry, not to mention ordinary Han people. If you make the family unhappy, you will be kicked out that day.
This is also a common demand of people.
The third type of social demand is that people want to integrate into a certain group and seek a sense of belonging under the condition of food and clothing, safety and security.
The characters of the Three Kingdoms pay attention to belonging and a certain force, that is, everyone holds each other together to form an organization, seek belonging, and build a psychological home. Even the people are lined up with dock forts one by one, and ordinary people belong to the dock forts of a certain family of scholars.
are the same as the four famous works of ancient times, and the characters in the Three Kingdoms do not have distinct personalities as the characters in the Water Margin, just because the characters of the Three Kingdoms belong to organizations and have their own belongings.
The organization assimilated the individual.
Look at the characters in the Water Margin, no matter what kind of people come to Liangshan, do they still have personality? Whether it is Lu Zhishen or Wu Song, they will be assimilated by Liang Shan, the organization that acts for the Heavenly Way.
This is especially true in the Three Kingdoms, where some are organized one by one, rather than individuals.
The fourth type of respect needs refers to a person who not only wants to integrate into the collective, be accepted by the collective, but also be respected by the collective.
If they are not respected in the collective, most people will leave the group in search of another collective belonging. Meng Da during the Three Kingdoms was because he was not valued in Shu Han, and he took refuge in Cao Wei, but he was not taken seriously in Cao Wei, so he wanted to return to Shu Han again. This kind of thing is not uncommon, Pang Tong changed from Eastern Wu to Liu Bei, but he was not respected, and Xu You later helped Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao despised Xu You.
The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, also because she is respected by others.
The fifth category is the need for self-actualization. This is something that only a few people can achieve, and it requires them to fully unleash their potential and have their own usefulness. Live entirely for your own ideals.
The issues that this kind of people are concerned about are all major events of the country and the nation, and some later generations say that what they think in their hearts is "to establish their hearts for heaven and earth, to ask for their lives for the people, to continue their studies for the sages, and to open peace for all generations".
You say, "Come, I'll give you an additional knight." "I'm sorry, but the official position doesn't appeal to me.
Say, "Come, I will give you gold and silver." "I'm sorry, but the last thing I need is gold and silver.
This kind of person lacks a dream, a dream that is possible to be realized, and the top strategists and generals in the Three Kingdoms are all in demand at this level.
Jia Xu is now the representative of this fifth type of needs, physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, and respect needs, and after the needs are satisfied, the needs of self-realization are urgently satisfied.
Zhou Yi here depicts the broadest prospects for Jia Xu,
To maximize the realization of their own value,
can contribute to the future of the nation,
Of course Jia Xu is coming.
