What are the signs of a successful change?

Some people say that the country is rich and strong, some people say that the people's living standards have improved, some people say that the emperor's power has been strengthened, and some people say that it is the centralization of power, but in fact, these are all appearances. The first purpose of the reform of the law is the only purpose of winning foreign wars.

Changing the law will always lead to social turmoil, tensions between various strata, serious corruption, and a decline in the people's livelihood, and so on, and all kinds of contradictions will intensify and disputes will continue. The difference is that some have not exceeded the limit of social tolerance, and some have exceeded the limit of social tolerance.

Historically, the Shang Dynasty reform, Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry shooting, the British bourgeois revolution, Peter the Great's reform, the Qing Dynasty Westernization Movement, the Meiji Restoration, the October Revolution, etc., all brought severe pain to the society.

The reformers, or reformers, are far inferior to the old-fashioned faction in terms of the quantity and quality of their talents, and this is doomed to cause a very serious problem of corruption in the reform of the law, and it is also doomed that there are many phenomena that endanger the people in the reform of the law, and the reformists who are mixed with dragons and snakes are like toxins that spread to the entire society.

In the reform of the law, first of all, the people at the bottom benefited very little, did not benefit, and even suffered from the loss of interests.

Shang Ying changed the law, and the Qin State established the first strong army and became the most powerful country in the Six Kingdoms, but the living standards of the people did not improve, and even some interests were damaged; And Wang Anshi changed the law, and the treasury had money, but the people did not benefit, but suffered a lot; In the bourgeois revolution in England, the bourgeoisie and the merchants benefited, but the common people at the bottom were more miserable; In the reforms of Peter the Great, the serfs still existed, and the people at the bottom were still extremely miserable, and the standard of living did not improve.

This is inevitable, and the change of law must first strengthen the army, then enrich the country, and then the interests of the people.

In order to strengthen the army, to a certain extent, it is necessary to sacrifice the interests of the country and the interests of the people at the bottom; In order to strengthen the country, it is inevitable to sacrifice the interests of the people at the bottom. At the moment when the various interest strata of the law change share the cake, the interests of the people at the bottom will inevitably be put last, and this is the road that any country must take.

And those who first consider the interests of the people at the bottom will inevitably fall into all kinds of entanglements, all kinds of moral problems, and all kinds of public opinion quarrels, and their limited energy and financial resources will inevitably be exhausted, and in the end nothing will be achieved. This is one of the reasons why many changes fail.

In short, if you want to change the law, you must be prepared to complain and be prepared to suppress the executioners of the peasant uprising.

What some smart law changers can do is only not to cross the bottom line of interests and intensify contradictions.

In short, if you have surgery, it will bring severe pain. The success of the reform lies not in how much money is in the finances, not in how many new armies are built, not in how centralized the central authorities are, not in whether the lives of the people at the bottom are better, but only in whether or not the foreign war is won.

Changing the law is just filling in the answer sheet, and whether it is qualified or not depends on the victory or defeat in foreign wars.

Or, it can be said that the first and even the only purpose of the reform of the law is to win foreign wars.

Shang Ying's reform was successful, because he defeated his old enemy Wei State, and as for how many problems arose in the change, they chose to ignore it; Hufu cavalry shooting was also successful, because the war was won against Lou Fu, Zhongshan and other countries, and whether the quality of life of the people of Zhao State was improved was also ignored; The Meiji Restoration was also successful, because the First Sino-Japanese War was won, and as for how many people starved to death and how many became comfort women, they all chose to ignore.

It's realistic, it's brutal, and it's real.

If a foreign war is won, all contradictions can be concealed, and no matter how big the mistake is, it is insignificant at this time; If a foreign war fails, too many problems will be exposed, and even if the reform is successful, it will be a failure.

One white covers a hundred ugliness, and a war covers a hundred evils.

There is a taste of "black change", but in this era of low productivity, extremely high illiteracy rate, and feudal blockage, it is destined to be a dream to develop "green change".

When the country declines, the law must be changed; To change the law to be strong, we must strengthen the army; And a strong army must fight a foreign war, victory is everything easy to say, defeat is everything is over.

If you don't understand the relationship, you are doomed to fail if you change the law just for the sake of centralizing power, change the law only for the sake of attacking the opponent, and change the law only for the sake of stability. You can't build a good car behind closed doors, and you can't change the law behind closed doors, and everything has to be outward.

If you change the law, you will inevitably have to fight with the outside world, otherwise you will lose if you change the law;

If you change the law and fight a war with a foreign country, you will inevitably win, otherwise you will lose if you change the law.

These days, Zhao Pu has been pondering the problem of changing the law, and finally figured out a rough idea and understood the essence of the change. The reform of the law is not beautiful, and there are bound to be many problems, but the key lies in whether we can grasp the essence of the reform, whether we can grasp the fundamental purpose of the reform, and whether we can see the problems that will inevitably arise in the reform.

If we do not understand these three issues clearly, we will fail to change the law.

It's just that after figuring out these problems, Zhao Pu is a little melancholy, no matter whether he wins or loses, he is destined to be insulated from Mingjun, and will be named a tyrant, a butcher, an executioner and other names.

After the change, no one may understand it today, and no one will understand it in future generations, but we must stick to it, there is no turning back from the bow, and if we don't want to die, we can only move forward.

In order to change the law, it may be necessary to carry out massacres, exterminate various oppositionists, exile, assassination, beheading, and various criminal laws, which will inevitably occur from time to time.

It may be lonely and lonely, but it can only go on without hesitation.

Shang Ying's transformation was cracked by the car; Hu Fu rode and shot, and King Zhao Wuling was starved to death.

If you want not to be torn apart by the car and not starved to death, you can only go on with a hard heart, and the change of the law will inevitably leave blood, either the blood of the enemy, or the blood of your own blood, and the dead friends will not die poor monks, or let the opposition go to the guillotine and shed the last drop of blood!

Walking all the way, thinking all the way, Zhao Pu's heart became harder and harder.

…………

When Zhao Pu arrived in Fangzhou, he was still surprised by the tragic situation in Fangzhou.

When the Jin army went south, due to the small number of soldiers and horses, it could not attack in all directions, so it could only focus on attacking, attacking some dangerous checkpoints, rich state cities, or some big cities of great political significance. And some second-rate states, second-rate counties, some corner villages, or inconspicuous small towns were all ignored by the Jin army.

As a result, the towns were preserved, the damage was not too great, and the damage was not too great, with a focus on cracking down on hoarders, speculative grain merchants. To deal with these businessmen, the main thing is to be soft and hard, and the weak one is to reason and persuade to lower prices; The hard hand is the constant threat of using violent institutions.

Among them, there are many wits and courage, there are also officials who have been bribed, and there are even some businessmen who are clever...... And the institutions of violence are beginning to show their violent side.

In some fallen cities, there is often a massacre, in which all the rich families in the city are slaughtered, and none of the people remain, and the focus is on restoration and reconstruction. And the destruction of Fangzhou still shocked Zhao Pu, and after the shock, there were bursts of joy. In a dilapidated state like Fangzhou, it is far easier to succeed in changing the law than in Yangzhou.
