Chapter 14: One Hundred Years

Three years later.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, millions of people, and the mountains were shouting long live. Zuo Xiaoyou was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, feeling the crazy gathering of the imperial dragon qi, the momentum continued to rise, and the realm continued to rise, and soon after, the whole body was already filled with an inexplicable aura, and the whole person became more and more unfathomable.

In three years, Zuo Xiaoyou swept through the Northern Turks and knocked down the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then the Tang Emperor Zen throne, Zuo Xiaoyou finally became the master of the entire East.

Today, Zuo Xiaoyou has controlled more than 20 million square kilometers of territory, and has more than 140 million people under his rule.

However, this is only an achievement in the world, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens did not look at it at all, as long as they wanted, they could destroy the dynasty established by Zuo Xiaoyou at any time.

Zuo Xiaoyou himself is also very aware of this, so he did not choose to confront the gods and Buddhas, after all, this is a mythical world, even if the technology is developed, there is nothing to be done in the face of the gods and Buddhas.

Do you think you can do it with aircraft artillery? A random spell can make your parts scattered and turn into a pile of scrap metal. Moreover, if the gods and Buddhas are interested in your invention, they can easily snatch the scientific and technological achievements in your hands, and you can't hide them.

Because of this, Zuo Xiaoyou has not changed the people's belief in gods and Buddhas, they still believe in whom, anyway, in modern times, various religions compete for believers. As long as you don't mess around, those in power still don't care much.

However, the control of religion is still relatively strict, and I can allow you to preach, but you must not make any trouble for me for your own religious interests, otherwise I will definitely send a large army to exterminate you!

Buddhism and Taoism are still very cooperative, and they know that if they want to develop believers, they must have the support of those in power, otherwise they will definitely not be able to develop. It is impossible for the gods and Buddhas to threaten those in power, after all, they are cultivating the right path, and if they commit the killing vow, they will fall, so it is already good if they don't stop them from developing believers, and they don't dare to ask for more.

However, Zuo Xiaoyou himself is still more supportive of Taoism, he believes that everything should conform to the law of natural development, such as the issue of reproduction, Buddhism actually abstains from women, if the world is like this, I am afraid that it will be extinct in a hundred years. And Buddhism still has too many precepts that are unbearable, such as drinking wine and eating meat. If the wine is unpalatable, the meat is unpalatable, but the monkey wine is so delicious, and the barbecue, stir-fried meat, stewed meat, and shabu shabu are so delicious, how can you make me and my people quit!

It's just a big rebellion! Therefore, the left and the right support Taoism either openly or implicitly. His Majesty the Emperor likes and supports Taoism, and officials at all levels will naturally be more inclined to the development of Taoism. In this way, the spread of Buddhism fell into trouble. But they can't say anything, Zuo Xiaoyou didn't limit their development, but the officials under him moved their development resources to Taoism, which made Buddhism helpless?

At present, Zuo Xiaoyou already has a territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, and the people under his rule are 140 million, and if it were someone else, he would definitely exclaim the strength of the Zuo Dynasty, but Zuo Xiaoyou felt that it was too weak. With a territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, there are only 140 million people, which is too few. So Zuo Xiaoyou formulated a hundred-year development plan, to use 100 years to turn his empire into a superpower with a population of more than 2 billion.

The biggest problem in governing the country is the distribution of interests, as the so-called do not suffer from a small number but suffer from unevenness, so the left and the right did not engage in the first to get rich and some people, but the whole people work together, although it is distributed according to work, but the maximum amount is strictly controlled, and it is absolutely not allowed to appear that 90% of the wealth is controlled in the hands of 5% of the people.

Under the policy of the left, the small and the right, businessmen can make more money, but once the number exceeds '10 million', they will donate the excess wealth, or build bridges and pave roads, or invest in public welfare, they will not have any privileges in their hands, at most, they will not lack money to spend, and they can marry a beautiful daughter-in-law.

And the people at the bottom are not too poor, and they can basically reach the level of '100,000' annual income, unless they are particularly lazy and not motivated. Such a person can live on a thousand dollars a month. It's just a thousand yuan, that is, the level of having enough to eat, and if you want to add a few clothes to yourself, buy some daily necessities or something, you will be stretched. Therefore, these people basically can't marry a daughter-in-law, and it is also very difficult to find a mother-in-law, and they will be despised.

But when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and no one is allowed to be rich, and no one is allowed to be poor! These people themselves are lazy and lead to poverty, and they themselves don't care about the eyes of others, but no one can do anything to them.

Anyway, they can't marry a daughter-in-law, can't find a husband, and if they don't have offspring, they will die in a few decades, and the lazy gene will not be passed on because of this.

In short, after formulating the national policy, Zuo Xiaoyou began a century of development and construction. Because of the development experience of Yizhou and Tubo, it is no longer a problem for the left and small right to promote industry and science and technology throughout the country. Moreover, because of the expansion of the territorial scope and the increase of various resources, the speed of development is much faster than before.

Moreover, under the influence of the Han culture, the population growth rate is very fast. Zuo Xiaoyou has his own set of understanding of modern demographic change. Why is it that the poorer the country, the faster the population grows? Why is it that the more developed the country is and the more social welfare, the population growth is slower or even negative?

He thinks the reason is simpler, that is, people in poor countries have too little entertainment. In addition to work all day long, there is not much entertainment to enjoy, so the two of them are idle, and they make villains at home to play as soon as it gets dark, and the population growth will naturally increase.

In developed countries, because life is too comfortable, and there are many entertainment facilities, it is too troublesome and tiring to get married and have children, and it is better to live a relaxed life alone, so young people have no interest in having children or anything, and if there is a physiological need, a few hundred yuan can be solved. This is much more cost-effective than marrying a daughter-in-law and spending 200,000 dowry, and preparing an RV or something, and it doesn't have a duplicate ......

Because of this, the more developed the country and the better the social welfare, the lower the desire of young men and women to marry and have children, especially the higher the social status of women in developed countries, the less men want to marry their daughters-in-law. Because a man marries a daughter-in-law in the hope of marrying a woman who can take care of himself and his family, but women with high social status just want to be a small public act that is held in the palm of a man's hand, where will they take care of people! As a result, there will be more and more contradictions between men and women, and there will be more and more cases of breaking up, and the desire to marry will also decrease. If you can't get married, where will your children and grandchildren come from!

Of course, there is another reason, which is the mobility of the social population. The more developed the country, the more developed the transportation facilities, and the developed transportation will directly lead to the convenience of travel, and as soon as the travel is convenient, the population will flow rapidly, and the rapid flow of the population will not be qualitative, without qualitative, there will be no sense of stability, without a sense of stability, there will be no sense of security in marriage.

I don't feel secure, and I get married.

When a man and a woman get married, don't they want a stable and happy marriage! If it can't be stabilized, how can a marriage be happy? It is said that the outside world is very exciting, and people who only think about the outside world can give their other half a safe and stable marriage?

In contrast, people in poor countries are different. Because of poverty, the traffic is very backward and it is very inconvenient to travel. If it is inconvenient to travel, people will not travel much, and if they don't travel much, they will be very stable, and they will be able to do things step by step when they settle down, and they can give people a stable marriage, and the marriage is stable, and the husband and wife have no distractions, and the natural marriage can continue, and it is not a problem to have children or anything if they are idle.

However, this problem is difficult to solve, society is always evolving, technology is always advancing, and human life is becoming more and more convenient, maybe marriage will become unnecessary. To put it simply, young men and women will choose marriage, and the idea of being big is actually to be able to enjoy physiological life reasonably and legally, and having children or something is just a matter of incident, so as long as the physiological problems can be solved, and the problem of children can be solved in other ways, marriage is really not a necessity for human beings.

Before the crossing, the society in which he lived had gradually increased the research on biology, asexual reproduction technology had appeared, and of course, the dolls that solved the physiological needs of men were becoming more and more realistic, and even artificial wombs and other things had entered the development stage, according to that rate of development, maybe after a few decades, men would no longer need women. Since women are no longer needed, marriage is no longer needed.

And in that society, after all, it is still a patriarchal society, so once that situation occurs, women's lives will be difficult. Think about it, no man chases, no man hurts, no man is called, but is replaced by smart dolls, will women succumb to men? Or is it a stubborn confrontation with men, so that they are inferiorly in terms of natural physiology and are strongly suppressed by men?

Zuo Xiaoyou thinks this question is very interesting, he really wants to see in this world, if the country he governs reaches that level, what kind of relationship will become between men and women?

However, at the moment, it still has to develop step by step, and what he needs to do is to control the steering wheel of the Empire aircraft carrier and not let it deviate.

However, the position of the emperor of Zuo Xiaoyou is not stable, because the Mantian God and Buddha will not allow an immortal emperor to appear in the world, so once Zuo Xiaoyou reigns for too long, the Mantian God and Buddha will definitely intervene.

Faced with this problem, Zuo Xiaoyou also came up with a solution, which is to push his children and grandchildren to the foreground, and control the real power behind the scenes.

In fact, as early as the Tubo royal court was broken and Zuo Xiaoyou ascended the throne, he set up Yang Yuhuan as the queen, and in order to show his importance to Yang Yuhuan, he did not get thousands of beauties in the harem, and he was very dedicated to Yang Yuhuan, which also made Yang Yuhuan very moved, and in the second year, he was pregnant with a child of Zuo Xiaoright, and gave birth to a white and cute little prince in the next year.

However, Zuo Xiaoyou considered that the royal family was ruthless and did not want to face the tragedy of children and grandchildren killing each other for the throne in the future, so he did not let Yang Yuhuan have children, and at the same time set up royal rules, the Zuo royal family, each generation only needs one man, not two boys. This fundamentally eliminates the possibility of a brother Xiao Wall.

As for the possibility of the end? There is no need to worry about this at all, with the immortal couple of Zuo Xiaoyou and Yang Yuhuan, how can their children and grandchildren be extinct because of an accident!

So thirty years after Zuo Xiaoyou became the lord of the world, he passed the throne to his grandson.

That's right, it's a grandson, not a son.

There is no way, his sons are eighty years old, even if they sit on the throne, they will only be in the sky for more than ten years, which is not good for the country, so he directly let his grandson succeed to the throne, and Zuo Xiaoright's son has become the most depressed prince in the world. obviously has no brothers to compete with him for the throne, but because his father has lived too long, he has no chance to sit on the throne at all.

Because of depression, Zuo Xiaoyou's son died at the age of eighty-four three years after becoming the emperor.

Zuo Xiaoyou did not let his descendants cultivate immortals, which was also for the stability of the Zuo family's times. Once there are too many immortals in the Zuo family, after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a conflict between the emperor's position and the gods and Buddhas of the sky, that is not the picture that Zuo Xiaoyou wants to see, so he put an end to the possibility of confrontation between the royal family and the gods and Buddhas of the world from the beginning. However, in the future, if the development of human science and technology reaches the point where even the gods and Buddhas are powerless, he will definitely fight with the Jade Emperor.

What Sun Wukong didn't do, he didn't think he couldn't do.

With his own children and grandchildren coming up from generation to generation, Zuo Xiaoyou is remotely commanding behind the scenes, and the Zuo dynasty is really as stable as Mount Tai. A hundred years have passed in a flash, and the development results are not much different from what Zuo Xiaoyou expected. Because there was no family planning, the population was more than 300 million more than he expected, and the current population of the whole country was close to 2.2 billion, and the level of industrial science and technology had reached the modern level that he was familiar with. Smartphones and the Internet have become the mainstream of society.

As far as he knows, the current gods and Buddhas are all using mobile phones to surf the Internet......

However, because of the strong ruling power of the imperial family, the power of the Zuo dynasty is very stable, there is no local power, and more than two billion people live and work in peace and contentment, enjoying the benefits brought by the development of society and science and technology from generation to generation.

With the advent of the era of big data and the emergence of artificial intelligence, a large number of human jobs have been replaced by machinery, and basically more than 60% of human beings have no work to do and rely on social security to live.

Of course, people are very happy to eat social security, because personal social security is as high as 10,000 yuan per month, and medical education and so on are all free, and people's happiness almost breaks through the sky.

And those who don't eat social security, in fact, are more working for their own interests, such as playing music, playing games, writing and drawing comics, etc., in short, human beings have entered a new stage of development.
