Chapter 711: Going to College

Leo said, "Well, these bodies that belong to a city, you can fast forward, we have to enter his soul ......"

The city in front of me is finally "finished", incomparably wide, magnificent, and prosperous, but there is no one.

"The soul of the so-called city should be people." I say.

"Half right," said Leo, "but what will happen to you if you throw the people of your world here?" ”

Without waiting for me to answer, he said, "In less than half a year, this city will be in ruins, at least disabled!" ”

"You're saying they don't know how to use your tools." I say.

"It's still only half right!" Leo said, "The real soul is civilization, the system, and the law!" The people born in it, as you said, need to have enough cultural knowledge, but this is only the foundation, the system and the law are the most important, that is to say, the people in it must have a division of labor, according to their own good or habitual ways, engaged in different jobs, such as, opening shops, driving, education, managing the city, cleaning the city, maintaining law and order, ......"

"Merchants, workers, bureaucrats, miscellaneous servants, army or militia," I said, "probably so?" ”

"The principle is pretty much the same, but the division of labor is much more detailed," Leo said, "remember?" You once asked me, "What do the people of the city eat if they don't farm and hunt?" ”

I nodded silently, in fact, there are already some answers - Thunder City, Animo City, Western Frontier, Santas City, there are many people who don't need to produce at all, and can live on income and money by directly doing business or working.

But Leo's explanation goes deeper: "In reality, there are very few people who produce food directly, they live in the small towns and villages around the city, and they send the food they produce to the city for monetary gain, while the people in the city do their own work, get paid, and use these rewards to buy food and other necessities of life." ”

I said, "So, the farmers who produce the food are the ones who feed the city, right?" It's easy to explain that less than one-tenth of the billions of people are actually concentrated in cities, right? ”

Leo said, "That's not how the accounts are calculated! The wealth created by the city, as well as the development of new technologies, can greatly increase the yield of crops, of course, in addition to farmers, in fact, there are many producers, but in general, the measure of the degree of development of a city, or a country, is the proportion of these producers, in the Kalmdo steppe, a farmer or hunter, can feed two or three bureaucrats or warriors who do not need to engage in production, that is, there must be at least forty or fifty peasants for every hundred people, but in China, A dozen or twenty peasants would be able to feed a hundred, including themselves! ”

I was a little surprised.

However, Leo said: "In fact, there are still some small countries on the earth, and it only takes less than ten peasants to feed a hundred people, and their agriculture is more developed than that of China......

I was a little surprised this time.

Leo scratched his head: "Sometimes I have to admit that Huaxia is indeed lagging behind in some places, but he was once strong and brilliant, and he will surely revive again in the future, but I don't know if I can catch up with the ......."

"What, do you need me to comfort you?" I say.

"No," said Leo, "I complain myself, you don't have to care." ”

I said, "You want to go back, I want to save people, the goal is to become stronger, and we should encourage each other, right?" ”

"Come on!" Leo waved his hand, as if to dispel some flying insects, "I know these things better than you, I used to complain, and you gloated and sneered, which made me angry, and now you want to comfort me, I'm a little unused to it." ”

I said, "Then go ahead......"

Leo said, "Where did you just go?" Well, the economy and agriculture, right? Next, it is the system of the city, including the ruling system, the management system, and the legal system, which you understand best, should be the law, but the institutional basis of the earth's modern civilization is indeed from the perspective of equality, and the nobility and monarch have basically been abolished, although it is not absolutely equal, but it is much better than what you do......"

I said, "As you have said, your peace and equality are deterred by force, and your concept has not completely changed. ”

Leo didn't answer, and conjured up a few people.

These people are male and female, tall, short, fat and thin, the most obvious is the skin.

"We have differences in skin color, we have differences in race, we all emphasize equality on the surface, and the law is made like this, but people still retain prejudices from antiquity," Leo said. ”

I said, "I don't feel much difference other than the skin color, and if you look closely, the white-skinned one looks a bit like Vincent......"

Leo said: "I also don't know your group of unenterprising friends, this is the phenomenon of cross-racial face blindness, but in other words, the separation between different races of human beings is actually similar to your minotaurs." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "In this way, the reason why you and Zhao Ritian both agree on racial equality is because your civilization is also emphasizing, in fact, fundamentally speaking, the practices of your earth are no less different from those of the Mage Tower?" ”

"No," said Leo, "our equality is won by the constant struggle of the various races, and there are countless people who have paid the effort and the price for a long time, and in Santas, except for the hardships experienced by the first founders, in fact, they are all forced later, but in the end, the two are probably the same, but the time required is different." ”

I said, "I think it's probably because you're not big enough to ...... like us."

Leo shook his head: "Regarding race, discrimination and equality, I will slowly talk about it in the future, and what I want to talk about now is the modern social system, including political power, power institutions and power operation, social planning and management, ......"

I asked him, "Did you learn this knowledge before or did you come to understand it later?" ”

Leo said: "Yes, I've seen it before, I haven't thought about it deeply, eh, don't digress, well, I used to have a lot of dissatisfaction with the social system, but after seeing your loose and simple system, I realized how advanced we are, and how hard-won the social system is now......"

"Let's get to the point!" I said, "Let's start with the highest person in power, for example......

Leo said: "First of all, in essence, the supreme ruler is not a royal nobleman, but an executor elected by the common people, which is completely different from you. ”

I said, "This is indeed equality, how did you eliminate the aristocracy?" ”

Leo said: "It's a long process, I'll talk slowly in history class, after all, I myself have some points that are not very clear, in short, it is also tortuous, from the slave owners of the most primitive era, to the landlords, lords, monarchs, emperors, it is full of bloody battles, and finally the era of the elimination of the aristocracy, there are many people who gave their lives......"

I kind of reacted and said, "Are you just going to give a rough idea now?" ”

Leo said: "I only knew the general idea, and if I hadn't played some related games and remembered the general history, I wouldn't have gotten anywhere." ”

I laughed: "You came to teach me before you fully mastered it?" ”

Leo said, "Even if you don't learn everything, it's more than enough to teach you!" ”

I didn't continue arguing, saying, "Okay, I'm going to see how deep you can go." ”

Leo said, "Then don't you interrupt all the time, okay?" ”

I said, "Isn't ......that curiosity?"

Leo conjured up two books and said, "Write down the problems you encounter and solve them together in the future!" ”

I turned the blank page and said, "Won't it disappear here?" ”

Leo said: "I can directly store this thing in my memory, and it is not the scene of my previous life, of course I remember it, besides, I have no problem remembering tens of thousands of books now, you are too worried about it!" ”

I said, "Go ahead, well, the system, the structure of power, and the law or something......"

Leo waved his hand, and we were outside a row of grandiose but not luxurious buildings.

"Come and see the places where the heads of state work," said Leo, "and although I have never been there, I have seen the general furnishings of the interior...... Next, I will take you on a tour of the town hall, the courtroom...... Anyway, it's a bit tight to get around these places in one day, and I can't tell, but you can also talk about your own guesses. ”

The rest of the journey was indeed very rewarding, but I was also very curious about how the earthlings completed the construction of such a civilization, and I was more interested in the historical details of it.

"The current general law is the transformation from a primitive slave society to a feudal monarchy society and an imperial system, and finally the development of scientific and technological civilization, reaching a capitalist society, followed by a more advanced communist society, but it has not yet been reached," Leo said, "You should remember that the orcs were tribal at the earliest, in fact, it was primitive slavery, and now you are between the feudal era and the imperial era, but unfortunately the Minotaur the Great failed, plus the gods of heaven are intervening, if there is not enough power for change, Monarchies and empires may have existed for 5,000 or 10,000 years longer than the Earth Divine Oracle...... The biggest obstacle is actually the gods! In the early stages of civilization, the gods did have a great role in impetusing, but in the middle and late stages, to put it mildly, the gods became an obstructive force......"

"That's not what you know on Earth, right?" I say.
