Since King Yingzheng of Qin swept the sea and ruled the world, there has been a title in the world that has never been known before, emperor.

With the birth of the emperor, there was another thing that was not seen or touched, but was always pursued by successive kings, imperial power.

Before the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, although there were things similar to imperial power, due to the existence of the feudal system, even the Zhou Tianzi, who had nominally sat on the throne for 800 years, was difficult to truly command the world.

The root of all this is the first question at the beginning, what is a monarch and a minister, a father and a son?

Seeing this, Liu He can still remain calm, but seeing the following paragraph, Liu He is like being struck by lightning, holding the page of the book like a chicken.

Since the beginning of Dayu's water control, the flood has been continuous year after year, since it is useless to repair, why should it be repaired?

As everyone knows, every person who builds water conservancy is full of feelings of worrying about the country and the people, and only wants to create a great achievement in his own hands that can still stand after thousands of years.

However, those who have such lofty ambitions will inevitably have the suspicion of being too ambitious, and the foundation may not be firm, and as soon as the flood comes, the so-called thousands of generations will collapse in an instant.

The same is true of governing the world.

There has never been a way to restrain subordinates and the people, which can endure, and the only way is to focus on the present, when and where you are, and what kind of means you use to govern the world, which is the right way.

The means of governing the world include those who serve the people and those who serve the country.

Those who serve the people benefit the people, and the people want it, and even if the country is weak, it can still defend its territory.

Those who serve the country may not benefit the people, but they can provide shelter to the people because of the strengthening of the country.

Those who serve the people, although they defend their territory, it is difficult to protect themselves if they encounter a strong enemy.

For the country, the country is rich and the people are strong, although there are voices of grievances, it can also become a place where the people of the world flock to.

Therefore, governing the world can be used as a policy for the people, and in troubled times it must be used as a policy for the country.

In troubled times, there is no way to avoid it, and the people of this generation have already made a certain number of fates, if they insist on going their own way, on the grounds of sympathy for the people, and implement those so-called benevolent governments, they will become the masters of the country and the people, and the disasters will be extended to future generations, and it will be difficult to improve in the third generation.

This exposition simply hits Liu He's weakness.

Previously, he once thought that only thinking about the people was the only right way, but after reading this paragraph, he had begun to waver in his previous thoughts.

And the subsequent discussion of the common people made him see a point of view that he had never paid attention to before.

In this era not long after the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, the common people's understanding of the state was far less clear than that of the monarch and the scholar class.

For the common people, there are only two things that are most attractive, one is to eat well, and the other is to stay away from the war, as long as there is a place that can provide them with these two things, no matter what country this place is, they are willing to stay, and even in order to protect this land, they can go hungry and take up swords and guns to go to war.

In this war, the people didn't actually have the idea of defending their homes and the country, they just didn't want to lose this last pure land.

And some self-proclaimed virtuous monarchs not only like to make a fuss about the word "state", but also ignore the current situation and promulgate some policies that seem to give the people preferential treatment, but they stop at enriching the country and strengthening the army.

There is only one consequence of this, the day the country is broken, it is the time when the family dies, but I don't know that this is the real death of the people.

Only when the country is strong will the people be willing to take root here, and even if they have to go to war with their neighbors due to war, they are willing to take up swords and guns for the sake of future generations.

If it is only a temporary woman's kindness, and the grace that can only be used in the world, will only end up in the misery of several generations.

At this point in the book, there is suddenly no follow-up.

Liu He put down the book, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, but the excitement was surging, but he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Did you think wrong about everything before?

He once imagined that when Yizhou was taken, how to benefit the people and govern the corrupt officials in various places, so that the people could live a good life, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the people naturally attached themselves, and then the Shu State established could also ensure peace for a while.

Yes, what I thought about at the beginning was just to ensure temporary peace.

But now it seems that even that pitiful temporary peace is just his wishful thinking.

He walked to the window and looked out, only to find that it was white outside, as if he were on a snowy field.

The sunlight shining through the carved wooden windows was still warm, and Liu He knew that all that he saw, although he couldn't explain the reason, was obviously just an illusion.

Gradually, the wooden window became transparent, and finally disappeared, and an inexplicable force dragged Liu He's body out of the window.

He didn't panic, he didn't even feel any surprises, he had read so many classics that he had never read before, and he was exposed to the ideas of a hundred schools of thought throughout the ages, even for unknown things, Liu He could handle them calmly.

It seems that he is already in a fantasy.

Liu He thought about it, smiled with relief, and did not deliberately resist the suction, but lightly tapped his toes and let his body fly out of the window out of thin air.

Being in the ice and snow, but the body is warm, this kind of fresh feeling that has never been before, Liu He did not care too much.

Because at this time, he was floating in mid-air, looking down on this white land from the sky.

No one has ever had the experience of flying, and naturally they don't know how to control the direction of their body's progress, in this case, Liu He simply holds the mentality that if he comes, he can't tell the southeast and northwest, let alone where he is going, so it is better to float in the air like this.

A gust of wind blew, rolling up the snow on the ground, and on top of the snow, I don't know when there were two more figures.

Liu He looked at it, it was an old man, with a child, playing in the snow, and next to the two of them was a snowman who had been piled up.

Looking at the appearance of the snowman, Liu He's heart suddenly tightened, and his body involuntarily floated in the direction of the two of them.

Obviously, the two of them didn't know about Liu He's existence, so that Liu He was suspended directly above them, and the two who were tired of running and lying on the snow seemed to be blind.

"Grandpa, what was your greatest wish when you were a child?" The child asked.

The old man stretched out his hand and touched the child's head, "When Grandpa was a child, his biggest wish was to build a snowman of this size like now. ”

The child shook his head vigorously, "No, no, grandpa, as long as there is snow, it's not difficult to build a snowman." Only those things that are thought about every day, but are difficult to do, are called wishes. ”
