Chapter 335: Rende is only within the range of the heavy crossbow!
Shun's Ganqi Dance was praised by many Confucian scholars in later generations, believing that it was a representative of Shun's virtue.
But in Ying Chengcheng's view, Shun's behavior is about the same as pulling a group of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding a long axe in his left hand and a giant shield in his right hand, and stepping down on a tall horse to dance a war dance in front of a group of unarmed people.
While jumping and asking: Do you accept it? Convinced or not!
When you have served, kneel down for me and serve me as Lord.
Defy?
If you don't obey, you will suffer an old sin!
The blades of the Miao people can't break the defense of Shun's corporal at all, do they dare to disobey!
The behavior of the co-workers is about the same as following Shun's example, and they also pull a group of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding a long axe in their left hand and a huge shield in their right hand, and stepping down to dance in front of the Makqin heavy machine gun position.
While jumping and asking: Do you accept it? Convinced or not!
The enemy doesn't hold a shuttle bullet on the spot, it's all purely for the sake of watching a joke for a while!
So, is Shun's Ganqi Dance really 'virtue' rather than 'military deterrence'?
Ying Chengcheng said with a smile: "In Brother Yu's opinion, Shun's dry dance is not enough to prove the importance of virtue. ”
"This only shows that Rende is only within the range of the heavy crossbow!"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and muttered softly: "Technology, blades, armor, tools...... System! ”
A large amount of historical experience and the wisdom of others collided with sparks in Ying Zheng's brain, and was finally condensed and refined into a spiritual light by Ying Zheng with his own wisdom!
Ying Zheng suddenly asked: "Just like iron tools for changing the law?" ”
Without waiting for Ying Chengcheng to answer, Ying Zheng had already figured out everything, and his eyes lit up and he asked himself: "Because the development of technology has made the price of iron more and more cheap." ”
"Zheng and Chu were the first to have cheap and durable iron tools, so Zheng and Chu slaves (juvenile and adult slaves) were the first to start a rebellion, and after that, the slaves of various countries were Jing Cong!"
"Cheap iron tools allowed the country to have more food, grass, blades, and armor, but it also gave the slaves the strength to resist."
"While the great revival of iron tools has made the country's foreign wars more courageous, it has also made the internal strife more prosperous."
"In the world of great strife, no country dares to be weak, and the only way to seek a way to change the law is to govern the servants!"
In later generations, many people will learn a knowledge point when they are in high school: during the Warring States Period, the use of iron farming tools and ploughing cattle was further promoted, the level of social productivity continued to increase, the power of the new landlord class increased, and the old slave owner class collapsed.
But why do iron farming tools have so much magic?
Could it be that the iron farm tool is enchanted, and it can increase attack speed, durability, rebellion, and harvest buff during use?
In fact, iron farm tools are not as good as bronze farm tools in a single use, but in the late Warring States period, the price of iron farm tools was much lower than that of bronze farm tools.
And although the current bronze blades are better than the iron blades, in the low-end market of agricultural tools, iron agricultural tools are more durable and easier to maintain than bronze agricultural tools!
In the past, agricultural tools were cherished, and it was difficult for ordinary slaves to obtain them, which made it almost impossible for slaves to complete the reclamation of wasteland and complete self-sufficiency after fleeing from their slave owners.
The low grain production also makes it difficult for individuals and families to accumulate food stocks, and the ability to resist risks is extremely poor.
In order to survive, slaves had to be dependent on their slave owners, even if they were oppressed.
But cheaper, more durable iron tools have skyrocketed and prices have skyrocketed, making it easier for slaves to obtain tools and reclaim wasteland.
The further use of ploughing cattle and iron tools has also skyrocketed food production, allowing individuals and families to have a certain ability to resist risks.
This led directly to a question in the minds of the slaves.
Why should we be exploited?
Isn't it good for us to go out and reclaim the land on our own?
As a result, in 522 BC, thousands of slaves in Zheng State rebelled, and in 506 BC, tens of thousands of slaves in Chu State rebelled, forcing King Zhao of Chu to flee to Yunmengze for refuge, and slaves all over the world set off turmoil one after another like cooking oil on fire!
This has also forced various countries to change their laws and formulate new policies for governing the people according to the new social situation.
Perhaps the old aristocrats who promoted and developed iron tools did not expect that with the advantages of cheapness and durability alone, iron farm tools would overturn the era that belonged to the old aristocracy!
"An inconspicuous iron weapon, but it makes the destiny of heaven turn! How ......" The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more shocked he was in his heart, and he couldn't even accurately describe his inner emotions in words, so he could only tremble: "Incredible!" ”
Ying Chengcheng smiled happily: "That's the truth." ”
"The advent of the Iron Age forced a change in the way we ruled the world."
"After the policy of governing the world changes, the policy of fighting the world and the strategy of inspiring warriors will also change."
"My brother thinks that technology is a revolutionary (changing the destiny) force that has played a driving role in history."
"Technology determines the foundation of people's livelihood, and the foundation of people's livelihood determines the way to govern the country!"
"So, technology is the root of everything!"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment again, and then showed a smile: "So Brother Wang has something good to hide, and he doesn't take it out until he has to take it out?" ”
"Brother Wang said so much, is he trying to persuade Brother Nai to suppress the progress of technology, so as not to cause chaos within my Great Qin?"
Ying Chengcheng said angrily: "This is indeed my brother's idea for a long time. ”
"To be precise, until the battle to destroy Wei, my brother always had such thoughts."
"In Brother Yu's opinion, my Great Qin is already strong enough, and I don't need to gain any more by developing technology."
"It only takes a step-by-step war to realize Brother Wang's ideals."
"If my brother takes out those fresh things that my brother has studied, it is difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse for my Great Qin."
"In case it is because of my brother, but it leads to the destruction of my hard-won good situation in Daqin, my brother ......"
Ying Cheng's voice was a little bitter: "I am ashamed of the people of the ages!" ”
Technology is never pure.
Cheap iron tools can overturn the old aristocracy, saddles and high bridges on both sides of the northern nomads completely unleashed their ferocity, and a humble loom quietly started the industrial revolution.
The emergence of every technology will change the world in all aspects, and then guide the world in a direction that the inventors of technology could not predict!
Ying Chengcheng's conservatism in his heart made him dare not bring more new technologies into Daqin at all.
Maybe it was because of a certain technology that Ying Chengcheng took out at random that caused turmoil within Daqin, and even changed the situation in the world?
The demise of Great Qin is a trivial matter.
If Huaxia misses the opportunity to dominate the world because of himself, Ying Chengcheng feels that Qin Hui is qualified to kick his feet!
The huge pressure made Ying Chengcheng not even dare to make a piece of soap!
Looking at Ying Cheng's face full of contemplation and slightly curved back, Ying Zheng's distressed Wen Sheng was relieved: "You think too much." ”
"None of this is something you should be thinking about."
"You just do what you want, and as for whether you want to do it in the world, there is still Brother Nai to take care of it."
"If it is really because of what you have done that the world is in turmoil, it is all my brother's sin!"
"Don't forget, Brother Nai is the king of this Great Qin!"
Ying Zheng only knew today how much pressure Ying Chengcheng was under in his heart.
But in Ying Zheng's view, these pressures should not be borne by Ying Chengcheng.
Ying Zheng is the decision-maker of Daqin!
If there is a mistake in the decision, it is up to him to bear the blame.
When he sees his ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan in the future, he will also kneel at the front!
Ying Cheng smiled with relief: "At the time of the destruction of Wei, there was a shortage of grain and grass, strong enemies were around, and the road was difficult. ”
"If it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements, my brother might have died in Anling City."
"At that time, my brother thought a lot."
"Such a scarce grain yield, such a difficult road."
"Even if I, Great Qin, conquer this world, how can I rule the world?"
"Brother Shi shouldn't be complacent."
"Because today's level of technology can't carry your and my ideals at all!"
Ying Cheng, who has experienced pressure from all sides and led the army to travel half the world, is deeply aware of a problem.
This world also needs a better road and stronger productive forces to truly support the feudal autocracy of great unification!
He shouldn't be worried about a technology that will change the situation in the world.
On the contrary, he needs to bring changes to this world with stronger productivity, so that this world can give birth to soil that is enough to carry the ideals of the two brothers!
In addition, the demise of the two kingdoms of Han and Wei and the great changes in the historical line also gave Ying Chengcheng a bit of a broken jar mentality.
Anyway, Benjun's influence on this world is already big enough.
In that case, why don't you turn him upside down!
Ying Zheng was a little unable to understand Ying Chengcheng's words: "When today's technology level can't carry your and my ideals? ”
"What's the explanation?"
Ying Chengcheng said in a deep voice: "Brother thinks that only by further emancipating the heads of Qian, so that the vast majority of the capitals of Guizhou can be separated from the magnates, and can be self-sufficient after breaking away from the magnates, and form a small-scale peasant economy of one household at a time, can we further relieve the strong appeal of the local magnates to the heads of Qian. ”
"For example, I, Great Qin, can issue government decrees to the township, but Han, Qi and other countries need to borrow the hands of local magnates to influence the township."
"Once the imperial decree touches the interests of the local magnates, the imperial decree will be ignored or even misinterpreted."
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the old aristocratic group of Great Qin has basically been cleaned up.
However, countries such as Han and Qi still retained a fairly high degree of slavery.
Therefore, Han Fei tried hard to persuade King Han to abolish slavery.
Therefore, Tian Rong soon became a local big household after moving to Di County, and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he attracted tens of thousands of slaves with a wave of his arms.
Ying Zheng thoughtfully: "My brother's words are similar to Shang Jun's words!" ”
Ying Chengcheng said with a smile: "The policy of the Shang monarch is a top-down policy, using the hands of Great Qin to attack the powerful, untying the heads of Qian, and then giving the heads of Qian's material conditions to support themselves with the military merit system. ”
"And the younger brother's strategy is a bottom-up strategy, using the progress of technology to trick the head of the Qiantou into untying himself, and even forcing the powerful to untie the head of the Qianshou himself!"
"Different paths, but the same end!"
"It's just applied to different situations."
Ying Zheng shook his head lightly: "But it's difficult. ”
"Brother Nai also hopes that the leaders can be self-sufficient and do not need to be governed by the powerful."
"Brother Nai hopes that more grain can be produced in the fields."
"But how do you do that?"
