Chapter 290: The Zhou people in the eyes of the third brother-in-law
The people of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the people of the Zhou Dynasty. The people of Zhou, that is, the people who lived on the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. Compared with the grassland, the people of the Zhou Dynasty were "Zhou people" or "Zhou people". And they! It is a steppe people, a nomadic people. The living customs and cultures of the two are different.
The last time he sold horses and lived a short life in Zhongshan Kingdom, he had a short contact with the people of Zhou, and the third brother-in-law did not understand the people of the Zhou Dynasty very much. It's true! In his impression and feeling: most of the people around the land are stupid. It's true! He doesn't understand!
The Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty is stupid! I can't do anything, and I still rely on the position of the Son of Heaven. What Son of Heaven? What is the weekly system, the weekly rites, and what royal law? They are just relying on the position of the Son of Heaven and enjoying the life that the Son of Heaven can enjoy.
Though! The current Son of Heaven is not as good as the previous Son of Heaven, and his living conditions and other aspects are worse. But! No matter how bad he is, he is still the son of heaven. His quality of life is better than that of a slave, better than that of a poorman, and better than that of a prince and a king.
A son of heaven who doesn't care about hanging, what's the picture? Talking about serving the people, in fact, it is just shouting slogans, just talking about it, and then enjoying a superior life.
This is the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty! I don't know which dynasty it started, the sons of heaven in the Zhou Dynasty were just for the sake of mixing.
And the princes and kings below, the third brother-in-law is also unaccustomed to it. Of course! Except for a few princes and kings.
The third brother-in-law's insight is still very wise, not to be killed with a stick! It is not a denial of all princes and kings.
Bai Gui once told him that there were many princes and kings who were very helpless like the emperor of the Great Zhou. They have the heart to govern the country and want to manage their country well. But! Can't do it.
Although they are princes and kings, they do not have absolute power. In their country, there were many hereditary nobles. These people have a lot of power and influence his decisions. As soon as the interests of these powerful people are violated, these people rebel. When the time comes! He's not easy to handle. Even! Since then, the country has been in chaos and turmoil.
Even if this king is very good, he has the ability to control the power of the country and govern the country well. But! What's the use? If his country is small and rich, it will provoke right and wrong, and be invaded by powerful countries such as Wei. They will defeat you and make all the fruits of your labor theirs.
All your efforts have been in vain in the end!
All the fruits of your labor have been robbed of by a powerful state.
This is the sorrow of small countries.
If you have the ability, you can form alliances with others and use them against the robbery of powerful nations. But! You start getting involved in the war.
So! In the face of today's social trends, most kings have chosen to compete for hegemony. Like King Wei Hui's thoughts, strengthen yourself first! Defeat everyone first! And then! Then we will manage the country, build the country, and make the country rich and strong.
Therefore! The kings of Zhou basically thought about fighting for hegemony and forgot about construction. It seems like? Born to fight for supremacy!
The hereditary aristocracy of Zhoudi, who was bent on how to collect taxes, continued to enjoy a luxurious life without working for anything. Moreover! Therefore, all kinds of ways are devised to control the common people and enslave them forever. Only by enslaving them forever can they continue to live in luxury.
And those treacherous people and people with good brains in the surrounding areas are thinking about how to blackmail more money and accumulate more money, so that they will not starve to death in the years of war and famine, and still live a superior life.
Damn it, the lowest-level ordinary people, who want money and don't have money! There is no land for land! There is no right to the right. Nothing but life.
At last! For life! To live! They are left to the mercy of those in power......
And what puzzled the third brother-in-law was: there is only one Son of Heaven, and! It's still a useless genius. Princes and kings! There are only a few! In addition to the kings of the eighty or ninety great vassal states, there are those small princes and kings who have little effect. In the entire Great Zhou world, there are so many ordinary people, far more than the Son of Heaven and kings, but the majority is controlled by a few.
So! In the heart of the third brother-in-law: those ordinary people in the surrounding area are all stupid!
Even if all the hereditary nobles in the Great Zhou world are combined, there are not many people?
Even if all the hereditary nobles in the Great Zhou world are combined? Coupled with the managers they raise, there aren't many of them?
Why? The majority of the people in the surrounding area are controlled and enslaved by a few?
So! It can be inferred from this that most of the people around the land are stupid!
How can you be controlled by the majority by the minority? And we, the grassland people, are the majority who voluntarily surround the minority and obey them.
We prairie people! It's voluntary! And they are people around the people, they are forced.
Nima Di! You're not stupid than what are you?
Only stupid comparisons will be controlled by others. If it's a person! It's a man! It's a normal person! You won't be controlled by others!
What are you doing? The Son of Heaven is useless, and has been hollowed out by the princes and kings. Isn't it?
What are you doing? The king is useless, and the people can also put him in the air? Just like the white officials, he put King Wei Hui in the air. Isn't it?
What are you doing? Isn't it? The king was useless, and his officials and hereditary nobles set him up empty. Isn't it?
What are you doing? Who controls you, who do you? Don't you resist? If you don't resist, if you are obedient, you can only be like a fool, enslaved and controlled by others.
What are you doing? How can you turn over and be the master if you don't do it? How can the poor be emancipated?
Why is this happening in Zhoudi?
After analysis, the third brother-in-law came to the conclusion: There are too many dogs in Zhoudi! Or rather! There are too many selfish people around! There are too many people who only care about themselves and don't care about others! There are too few people like the white officials, and too few people dare to resist. There are too many people who are afraid of death! So! The minority has taken control of the majority.
How can a few people control the majority?
They take advantage of dogs! They have a lot of dogs, and if you dare to resist, the dogs will bite you.
They take advantage of those who are selfish, give a little benefit to those who are selfish, and those who are selfish will jump out like dogs and bite you for their own selfishness.
They take advantage of those who only care about themselves and give them a little benefit, and those who only care about themselves will jump out and bite you like dogs.
They take advantage of your weakness of being afraid of death, which is why they dare to do whatever they want!
It is precisely because of these reasons that the surrounding area is very chaotic and the war is constant. Many people are used in order to live and live in ignorance. Many people are controlled and enslaved by a few people in order to live and live in ignorance.
How could it be if it was on the prairie?
Do you dare to enslave Lao Tzu? Why? If you want to fight, come here! Roll up your sleeves and get on the rack! If you win, you will be better than you! Otherwise! Get out of the way!
