Chat group.
[Group Leader] Huang: "It is too difficult for a mortal dynasty to last for thousands of years. It is difficult to break the curse of the 300-year dynasty cycle rate."
“No matter what kind of political system the rulers use, class divisions always exist and cannot be erased.”
"Since there are inequalities between classes, how can the distribution of social resources be fair? There must be contradictions between classes."
“If we cannot avoid problems such as land annexation and unfair resource distribution, how can we expect to see our future generations to come?”
"Of course, we are not ordinary people, but powerful practitioners. This problem is not difficult to solve."
"After considering it from the perspective of a practitioner, I found that there are four ways to break the curse of dynasty cycle rate."
Looking at Zhu Wusi's question, Lin Huang looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.
He had thought about this problem in his previous life, but found that no matter what he did, he could not break the curse of the dynasty cycle.
Why did ancient dynasties rise and fall, with the old dynasty perishing and a new dynasty being established every two hundred years or so?
To put it bluntly, the root of everything lies in the uneven distribution of social resources!
The uneven and unfair distribution of social resources between the ruling class and the ruled class.
Social resources are like a pie. If you eat one more bite, I have to eat one less bite. This is unfair.
Confucius once said, "What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth!"
and.
As long as there are human beings in the world, there will be desires, there will inevitably be various contradictions, and true fairness will never be achieved.
As a result, at the end of the dynasty, the ruled class, who were forced into a desperate situation, had no choice but to rise up and overthrow the corrupt dynasty.
A new dynasty is born and a new round of resource allocation begins again, like a reincarnation curse that can never be broken.
But is such a problem really unsolvable?
In fact, in Lin Huang’s opinion, it is not difficult!
Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "There are four methods? I beg the group leader to teach me!"
Hearing this, Zhu Wusi instantly became excited and pleaded quickly.
Sha Zhu (Xu Damao): "Four methods? Be detailed!"
Zhao Gao (Gao Yao): "Squat with one hand."
Linghu Chong (Dongfang Bai): "Squat down."
The Second Miracle (Xiong Ba): "Squat +1"
Run Ge (Ding Xiu): "+1"
Sickly and Crazy (Jiang Yuyan): "+1"
Seeing Lin Huang’s words, all the group members’ eyes lit up.
There is actually a way to break the curse of dynasty cycle rate, and there are four of them?
Then you have to listen carefully.
[Group Leader] Huang: "First of all, this is just my personal opinion. Just listen to it and don't take it too seriously."
"If you have a chance, you can also try to see if the method I mentioned works."
"Stop talking!"
"The first method, to put it simply, is to make a cake!"
"I have said before that the reason for the demise of the dynasty was the unfair distribution of social resources. The rulers squeezed the living space of the ruled, forcing them to rebel."
“Then, the most brutal way to solve this problem is to increase the total amount of social resources, which is what I call making cakes.”
"There are several ways to make a cake. One is to invade other countries, divert conflicts, and expand the territory of the dynasty. This will increase the total amount of social resources that can be distributed, and invisibly prolong the dynasty's national life."
"Second, develop a multi-industry structural chain and don't stick to a single agricultural structure. A society with a single structure is prone to collapse. Whenever it encounters natural disasters or man-made disasters, it is easy to cause civil unrest."
"This method can also increase the total amount of distributable social resources, and invisibly prolong the dynasty's reign."
“Third, break the routine and go beyond the local area.”
"In fact, this method is similar to invading other countries. It is to expand the territory of the dynasty, because the land area of a world has an upper limit, and social resources also have an upper limit."
“When the whole world is under the rule of the dynasty, the total amount of social resources will stop growing. At this point, external conflicts will be transformed into internal conflicts again, and the dynasty will enter the countdown to collapse.”
"So, this requires the rulers to look to the outer world or the outside world and conquer other planets with life or other worlds."
"In short, these three methods are all about making a cake. Since there is not enough cake to share, we should make the cake bigger and prolong the dynasty's life."
After saying this, Lin Huang paused for a moment, giving the group members time to accept and digest what he said.
Sha Zhu (Xu Damao): "The first method is to make a cake?"
"Combining modern history, I find that what the group leader said does make sense. Some countries constantly invade other countries, seize their wealth and resources and bring them back to their own country, expand their own social resources, and pass on their internal conflicts to other countries. This invisibly prolongs the life of the ruling dynasty."
"This method is indeed useful, but it is also unethical because it hurts other countries."
"But from the perspective of China, if I don't invade others, others will invade me."
"So, the method of making cakes that the group leader mentioned is indeed feasible. It's simple and crude. I like it!"
"@朱铁胆, this is a good idea. The Monkey King can try it."
Xu Damao's mind raced, and he suddenly understood what the group leader said.
He couldn't help but dance and speak excitedly.
Zhao Gao (Gao Yao): "Old Xu is right. Now that the group leader has said this, I understand."
Gao Yao also quickly understood.
Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "Invading other countries, expanding social resources, and prolonging the dynasty, I understand, thank you group leader."
Zhu Wusi is not a conservative scholar who is conservative and will not cling to benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
Just as Xu Damao said, although invading others is immoral, from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, if I don’t invade others, others will invade me.
Besides, are aliens also considered human beings?
Zhu Wusi was willing to massacre foreigners in order to save Su Xin, so invading other countries was nothing.
The other group members did not speak, and they were obviously considering the method proposed by the group leader.
[Group Leader] Huang: "Well, it's good that you understand. There is no morality between countries, only naked interests."
"Then let's move on to the second method, which can be summarized as: establishing a highly autocratic ruling empire."
"This method has a very important prerequisite, which is that the supreme ruler must be immortal."
"Please note that I am talking about immortality, not immortality. There is a big difference between the two."
"Longevity means that the ruler can rule the dynasty forever, and to the greatest extent possible avoid the successor being incompetent."
"If he does not die, it means that he possesses great power and can immediately implement his will and eradicate all factors that are not conducive to the dynasty's rule, such as corrupt officials, unscrupulous businessmen, landlords, etc."
"If one only has immortality and a long life but does not have the corresponding strength, it is no different from a child holding gold in the market. He may be eaten alive by countless people in the first place, just like Tang Monk in Journey to the West."
"For example, @Zhao Gao, if you gave Qin Shi Huang the elixir of longevity, that would not be helping him, that would be harming him."
"Only if he possesses both a long life and great strength, will he have the ability to protect his long life and rule the empire."
"Just imagine if the wise and powerful ancient emperors such as Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi, Tang Zong and Ming Zu had the ability to live forever, would the Qin, Han, Tang and Ming dynasties still be destroyed?"
"What would these four emperors who possess the power of immortality do if they encountered an unfair distribution of social resources?"
"Kill the corrupt officials!"
"Kill the noble families!" "Kill the landlords and tyrants!"
"Even if they are members of the royal family who threaten the dynasty's rule, they will be killed without mercy!"
"As long as we kill all those who are detrimental to the stability of the dynasty, the dynasty will naturally become stable."
"of course."
"If a foolish and incompetent emperor possesses the ability to live forever, he will not only fail to lead the dynasty to prosperity, but will make a mess of it."
"Perhaps, the dynasty will not perish, but the people in the dynasty will suffer terribly and live in dire straits. Is a dynasty with only one person still a dynasty?"
"To sum up, the second method I am talking about is: an immortal and wise emperor will establish a great empire with a high degree of autocracy."
"In this way, it is very likely that the curse of dynasty cycle rate will be broken and the dynasty will exist permanently."
Seeing that the group members had accepted the first method he mentioned, Lin Huang spoke again.
The murderous words and the killing intent filled the faces of the group members, who were immediately filled with awe.
This is true.
If Qin Shi Huang could have lived forever, would Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have had the chance to shout out the famous saying "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born with different species?"
Do the remnants of the six kingdoms still have a chance to rise up in rebellion, and do Liu Bang and Xiang Yu still have a chance to stand out and overthrow the rule of the Qin Empire?
Everyone thinks that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled because they were forced into a rebellion, but upon closer inspection, they were not ordinary people at all.
In the Qin Dynasty, how could ordinary people have the right to have a name? Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, these names are obviously the remnants of the aristocracy of the Six Kingdoms!
By the same token, if Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Ming were immortal, would the Han Dynasty have split into the two Han dynasties, would the Tang Dynasty have fallen into the separatist rule of warlords, and would the Ming Dynasty have been controlled by civil servants?
Sha Zhu (Xu Damao): "Yes, if the Qin Emperor, Han Emperor, Tang Emperor and Ming Emperor could live forever, perhaps such a dynasty could really last for thousands of years!"
Zhao Gao (Gao Yao): "I gave an elixir of longevity to Qin Shi Huang before. I just felt sorry that Qin Shi Huang II died. I never thought that I would harm him by doing this?"
Linghu Chong (Dongfang Bai): "Interesting, indeed interesting."
Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "I'm grateful for your advice. Thank you for your guidance."
The sickly and crazy (Jiang Yuyan): "My studies are useless, should I kill the emperor and become the emperor myself?"
Run Ge (Ding Xiu): "Very good, a great empire will be created by me, thank you group leader."
The Second Miracle (Xiong Ba): "I've learned a lot. Thank you, group leader."
The group members responded one after another.
Jiang Yuyan and Ding Xiu were even more excited. This method was tailor-made for them.
Just think about it, killing the emperor and becoming the emperor yourself, that would be so much fun!
[Group Leader] Huang: "Let's move on to the third method. In summary, it is to establish a highly authoritarian theocratic empire."
"Well, this is a method I came up with based on Western history."
"The Holy See in the West has existed for more than a thousand years and has always ruled that land. Even the king of a small country under its rule must first obtain the permission of the Holy See before he can have the legitimacy to rule. This shows its authority."
"To control the king's power with divine power, this is the core purpose of the third method."
"Of course, this method also has its drawbacks, that is, we cannot develop science and technology, because the development of science and technology will cause a devastating blow to theocracy."
"Moreover, it is not a country, but more like a religious organization. If you are not careful, it will overturn and be destroyed by the powerful dynasty rulers."
"You can refer to this method for reference, but I don't recommend it because I feel it is not suitable for China."
All we can say is that the ideas in the East and the West are different.
No emperor in China could accept a situation where divine authority was superior to royal authority.
They will try every possible means to destroy the existence of theocracy, even if both sides will perish.
Sha Zhu (Xu Damao): "Indeed, no emperor can tolerate such an existence."
Zhao Gao (Gao Yao): "I don't recommend it. Doing so is probably courting death."
Linghu Chong (Dongfang Bai): "Let's talk about the last method."
Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "Not bad, looking forward to the group leader's final method."
The Second Miracle (Xiong Ba): "Theocracy overrides royal authority? Interesting!"
The sickly and crazy (Jiang Yuyan): "I feel like doing this is even crazier than me."
Run Ge (Ding Xiu): "Tsk tsk."
The group members exclaimed that they had learned something new. There is actually such a method?
But as the group leader said, this method is too unreliable.
[Group leader] Huang: "Next, let's talk about the last method, which can be summarized as: differentiation of social resources."
"In the world of immortal cultivation where I live, there are many secular dynasties with lifespans exceeding thousands or tens of thousands of years."
"Why is this? Why were these dynasties able to break the curse of dynastic cycles?"
"That's because the social resources required by rulers and the ruled are different."
"The rulers of the immortal cultivation world are the high and mighty immortal cultivators. As long as they reach the third-order golden elixir realm, they can eat wind and fog and not eat grains."
"Even for the lowest level first-level Qi training and second-level foundation building cultivators, the resources they need are spirit stones, not the gold and silver wealth we usually talk about."
"I mentioned in the group before that the spiritual stones used by cultivators are items that contain rich spiritual energy."
"Yes, this is the spirit stone, picture.jpeg!"
"And the ruled in the world of immortal cultivation, that is, ordinary people, they need to eat, which is a social resource that the rulers do not need, so there will be no contradiction of uneven distribution of social resources."
"At the same time, as rulers, immortal cultivators possess far greater power than ordinary people. Even if ordinary people at the bottom rebel, immortal cultivators can easily suppress them."
"So, in the world of immortal cultivation, it is very easy for a secular dynasty to break the curse of dynasty cycle rate and last for thousands of years without any effort."
"In fact, this method is similar to the second method. Both methods use powerful strength to suppress the dynasty's destiny."
"As long as the ruler at the top of the pyramid is not overthrown, the dynasty he rules will remain standing."
When Lin Huang was traveling in the three kingdoms of the southern region some time ago, he discovered something very interesting.
The three major dynasties in the Southern Territory, namely, Great Zhou, Great Chu, and Great Li, have all existed for more than a thousand years.
Although peasant uprisings occurred frequently, they could not shake the rule of the three major dynasties, and they remained standing.
Why were these three dynasties able to break the curse of dynasty cycles?
Lin Huang discovered that behind every dynasty, there was a Nascent Soul cultivator as a backer.
The lower social classes in these three dynasties were also unevenly distributed, with peasant uprisings occurring almost every year, but none of them were successful.
Facing a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, even if more refugees rebelled, they could not shake the rule of the dynasty.
"For those in power, fairness is not important, what is important is maintaining stability!"
'This principle is true in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad!'
Thinking of this, Lin Huang couldn't help but sigh.
"Wait! I'm not sighing for a second!"
'As the old saying goes, those who steal a hook will be punished, and those who steal a country will be made princes!'
"Then what does it mean that I devour millions of souls at any time?"
'Today, I am no longer the beast of burden at the bottom of society! '
Suddenly thinking of his current strength, Lin Huang couldn't help but laugh.
