There are more and more super criminals, who are breaking the old rules and trying to take advantage of them at the same time. These criminals are very contradictory and give the Saints a headache.
It would be better if criminals directly declared war on the old rules. Confucius divided people into gentlemen, villains, and countrymen. Gentlemen follow the rules, villains oppose the rules, and countrymen follow the rules on the surface but break them secretly.
Confucius believed that villains are not terrible, because it is normal for people to have enemies. Gentlemen and villains are incompatible with each other. But he hated Xiangyuan because such people were duplicitous, only for their own interests and regardless of the operation of the rules. He actually hoped that Xiangyuan would also
Just stand up and become an enemy of the rules.
Confucius knew that the enemy was not terrible. What was terrible was the cracks within himself and his falling into civil strife. If the enemy launched an attack at this time, he would be doomed.
Every force will inevitably have wishes, even the enemy's team will have them. Under similar circumstances, both sides need to compete for operational efficiency.
Why is it said that the Huru will not last more than a hundred years? It is because the internal efficiency of the Huru is not high and they cannot withstand the shock. Because the Huru also have local aspirations and will be divided internally. The Yuan Dynasty is the best example. In the end, the princes sat back and watched the rebels in the south do what they did for themselves.
Big. Even if the rebel army becomes bigger, it will be better for the princes, because the emperor has to give money to people to let the princes resist the rebel army, which will fall into a vicious circle of supporting the self-respect of the invaders.
No one wants everyone within the force to be a country wisher, but everyone has the possibility to become a country wisher. No one wants to have a country wisher within the force, but everyone has the possibility to become a country wisher.
To put it simply, it is the conflict between one's own interests and the interests of the team. This balance is too delicate and may be broken at any time.
Beth felt helpless towards super criminals. He didn't understand why there were such people: "While they want to take advantage of the rules, they are breaking them at the same time. What do they think?"
"I don't know either." Dulan thought to himself that this is the balance of interests. The sages only found problems and could not solve them, let alone him. The endogenous nature of the contradiction cannot be solved and can only be accepted.
Some things can be changed, and some things cannot be changed. The existence of rural wishes is inevitable, which is different from the nobility.
The nobles can deprive them of their land rights, talent rights, and economic rights, and they can only leave them with management rights. They can continue to deal with problems when they encounter them, but all resources only have the right to use, not ownership. Once they are used up, they must be returned to the people.
.
But Xiangyuan cannot solve it at all, because personal interests and team interests are endogenous conflicts that everyone will encounter, and everyone's choices are different.
Just like a teacher said: No matter how good my education level is, a small number of students will still go to jail.
Whether it is an individual or a team, this is a personal choice. People with resources can make choices, and people without resources can also make choices. This is regardless of gender, age, or health, whether rich or poor, and is something everyone wants.
Facing.
And everyone’s choices are different, so wishes can come out continuously.
Nobility is determined by the rules of the game, while country wishes are determined by personal choices. The rules of the game can be changed, but personal choices are difficult to change.
Even though Duran is so powerful, when faced with personal choices, it is impossible for everyone to be the same. Many people know how powerful Duran is, but still oppose him.
Therefore, seeking truth from facts, it is completely normal to have objections, and Duran never denies it.
Beth now also has to accept endogeneity and the reality that anyone can become Xiangyuan.
It's just that there are more and more wishes, and the violation of the rules will definitely be fatal.
At this time, the aristocrats of the American Empire turned their capital into assets and began to accumulate strength.
If you want to capitalize assets, you must first have assets. When the rules of the game collapse and finance is of no use, you must master the assets and wait for the next capitalization. Without assets, capitalization cannot be realized.
Land annexation is inevitable.
The next step is to vigorously develop the land and wait for the next opportunity.
Land is the key. The emperor relied on land to defeat the nobles, and the nobles relied on land to defeat the emperor. Of course, in the West, the nobles relied on asset capitalization, but they also used land as their foundation.
Why did the emperor pay attention to agriculture? It was because the land in the emperor's hands was most suitable for farming, so he had to take advantage of it. This started with Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the emperor's land was most suitable for farming and production, so he tried his best to develop agriculture. In agriculture
After surpassing the vassal states, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were able to complete the financial reform, introduce the five-baht coin, and carry out the Guanshanhai.
The productivity of the land was different, and the emperor tried his best to develop his own advantages.
This is actually a conspiracy. The princes can follow, but the land is not as rich as the emperor, and the food produced may not be enough for themselves. You can also not follow, you can do business, or even make money to make money, but without these means, agriculture
If you support him, you have to rely on the emperor for food, and he will be manipulated in the end.
Agriculture is not as profitable as business, but after mastering agriculture, the foundation will be stable and the emperor will have room to perform.
Finally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty introduced the five-baht coin, which also proved that without mastering agriculture, even if the nobles could make their own coins, they would be rootless.
It can be said that the emperor relied on agriculture to defeat the princes, so later emperors also learned from Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. No matter what, they first stabilized agriculture and slowly competed with the nobles.
The nobles also knew the emperor's methods, so they had to annex land and control agriculture themselves, so that they would not be manipulated by the emperor.
Only the Song Dynasty was different. The emperor of the Song Dynasty did not prevent land annexation and only relied on urbanization to control the scholar-bureaucrats. On the one hand, it was because a lot of land suitable for farming was lost and there was no way to control agriculture. On the other hand, it was also because the nobility was weakened and the rules of the game for the scholar-bureaucrats were still there.
It is being established and poses little threat to the emperor.
But in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, agriculture was still very important, and it was the emperor's way of controlling the scholar-bureaucrats.
Therefore, neither asset capitalization nor capitalism appeared in the Central Plains, because the emperor's land had to produce food and control a large amount of food in order to become the boss.
If the emperor does not control food, but only competes with others who are better at business, then the emperor's advantage will be gone.
Therefore, on the one hand, the emperor controls the city and uses points to control the area, so he can control a large amount of land. And a large amount of land is used for food production and has a fixed foundation. No matter how rich the nobles are, it is useless.
But this does not mean that there is no trade. Emperors and nobles also did a lot of business. It is a Western prejudice to say that the Central Plains is an agricultural civilization. It is just that agriculture is the foundation when it comes to games, and commerce is just the icing on the cake.
A business without an agricultural foundation is nothing more than a piggy bank that will be disposed of at any time.
The so-called commercial civilization in the West, Greece, and Judaism were all manipulated, and no one could truly control wealth. In the end, the aristocrats were still the aristocrats who controlled the land. Even the new capitalists who got rich were crazy about buying land.
Therefore, after the land annexation, Du Lan suggested that the people of the motherland also buy some land, which is very good.
The US emperor has legislated to restrict foreigners from purchasing land. Why? Of course, the nobles of the country will give priority to good land. Just like in ancient times, if people in the Central Plains wanted to sell land, their neighbors would be given priority, then people in the village would be given priority, and finally foreigners would be given priority.
.
For such an important matter as land sales, of course, outsiders should be blocked first. Otherwise, wouldn't it disrupt the situation if outsiders come in and randomly raise prices?
In short, the nobles have smelled the crisis and began to control assets, annex land, and prepare for the next step. The next step is to develop agriculture and industry and prepare for finance. The next step is to rely on finance to establish a set of trade rules.
History has been like this since the Han Dynasty. Except for the turning point of the Song Dynasty, all other dynasties have taken one step at a time and finally established themselves in the world.
Agricultural foundation, supplemented by commerce, mastering finance, and dominating the world.
