Can you live forever

Chapter 333 Changes of the times, talk of the future

It has to be said that Zhang Zhixiang was moved for a moment.

Joining forces with Mojiao, he will serve as the next great son, revive Qin Shihuang, everything he wants will be realized, the cycle of history will be perfectly broken, and civilization will develop towards the sea of ​​stars...

But can it work?
Everything rests on the shoulders of one person.

The first emperor died, what should he do?The first emperor once suppressed the world for 11 years, and then broke out such a rebellion. What if it was suppressed for a hundred years or a thousand years?How will those "people" resist?
They are willing to wait for a living and mortal Qin Shihuang.

But a long-lived Qin Shihuang, will they wait?
From the point of view of Mo Sect, although everything is risky, it can be solved, but from their point of view, especially from the point of view of practitioners...

No.

The first emperor is responsible for the cause and effect of the world alone, so he must not live forever, and there will always be times of backlash.

At that time, "the first emperor died and the land was divided" will appear again.

The expectations placed on the first emperor by Mojiao, and what they want the first emperor to do after death, are against the law of heaven. Even if there is no mistake in the middle, all the contradictions converge on the first emperor, can he really stand up?
and.

"It's Daming now, Juzi."

"This is the Ming Dynasty founded by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. The era of the first emperor has passed."

"Regardless of feasibility."

"History has given chances, but if there is no success, why force it again? The Qin system, tied to the first emperor alone, must be flawed, and its fatal flaw is the first emperor himself."

"Since the Han Dynasty, it has not been without progress."

"The restoration of the Zhou rites and the remnants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms did not solve this problem until the Five Dynasties period. The elimination of the powerful families and the replacement of the gentry class still did not solve the problem of the existence of the interest class, and there was also a lack of effective restraint. Means and systems. "

"However, the lack of it today does not mean that it is lacking in Ming Dynasty."

"The "Law of the Ming Dynasty" is still there, and the "Da Gao" was also issued. Compared with the inhumane nature of the first emperor, who treated all things as dogs, the Taizu was like an old farmer, serving the crops in the field. The family is worried about their livelihood and their future."

"The first emperor put himself too high. He is indeed outstanding, but it's hard to say whether he will be able to accurately grasp the context in the future."

"The Taizu is teaching the people, just like an old father, hoping that his son will become a dragon."

"This is the road that belongs to Daming."

"In the next 500 years, it will be the same path. Its theory and system are far from perfect, and there are infinite possibilities in the future, and the Qin system... has seen its end."

"Compared to the need for the first emperor not to make mistakes, I am more inclined to need more people's awakening efforts."

"The difference between the two."

"It's the same as the difference between the imperial examination and the merit system."

Zhang Zhixiang refused, he didn't deny the feasibility of Mohist religion, it's just that the ways are different and they don't conspire with each other.As for whether Mojiao can revive the first emperor, and whether the first emperor can achieve his ideals with the artifact of the zodiac talisman, there is no need to debate those.

Zhang Zhixiang's refusal made Juzi close his eyes, as if he was blowing a sea breeze.

After a while, he nodded and asked: "People-oriented, the world is the public, with these eight words, what kind of system do you plan to develop?"

"Peace of mind."

"what?"

"My hometown is where my heart is at ease. After understanding the Qin system, I found that the Qin system is perfect, but the perfect thing must have the biggest flaw, and that is peace of mind. Geng Ju is right. The whole country is not peaceful. The way of heaven , Is it like drawing a bow? Daqin's bow is drawn too full, and it will break."

The human heart is the bowstring.

Zhang Zhixiang has seen 500 years of history more than Juzi, and has seen the golden age of later generations. He once had a more profound experience of "drawing the bow like a full moon". This bow was broken by Qin Shihuang, and so did later generations.

If you want to draw the bow more fully and shoot more powerful arrows, you need better toughness of the bowstring.

And this toughness is determined by people's hearts.

You need to warm up the bowstring to keep it tough, and you need to learn how to control the bow. One piece and one relaxation are the way to go. During the relaxation, you must ensure that the bow is in your hand and controlled by yourself...

Juzi still asked, "What is peace of mind?"

Zhang Zhixiang replied: "The changes of the times must have been seen by Juzi. In the Qin Dynasty, a family managed a hundred acres of land, and now the average person in the Ming Dynasty is two or three acres. With the development of the times, the ability to farm has become weaker? No."

"It is accompanied by the improvement of farm tools, the advancement of technology such as retting, and the construction of water conservancy projects."

"Under intensive cultivation, more and more food can be produced, and more and more people can be raised. However, there are only so many acres in the world. No matter how we open up wasteland, there is a limit. Humans can never break the natural ecological balance. .”

"However, with enough animal power and better farm tools, can farmers in Daming only grow two or three mu of land?"

"it's not true."

"Which of those tenants can't handle [-] or [-] mu of land? The bigger the landlord, the more efficient the tenants will be in cooperating in farming."

"In fact, with land mergers, this kind of intensive farming is becoming more and more common. A large number of laborers have no land to cultivate, and now they can be poured into various industries. The huge handicraft industry is enough to absorb so many laborers."

"but."

"Juzi understands, right? Times are changing rapidly. The appearance of the steam engine is enough to change the world's production and life. As long as there is sufficient fuel, the machine will generate power unmatched by manpower, bringing production into a new field."

"And with the development of technology, after manpower is constantly eliminated..."

"The labor force will be reduced to a miniscule level."

"At that time, how should the Qin system be changed? Did Juzi think about it? In an era when material resources were abundant enough and the value of labor was low, what did Juzi think was the greatest value of a person?"

"It's selfish desire."

"Because of selfish desires, there is a desire for material things, and you can take the initiative to go shopping. Demand is the greatest value."

"Because in such a society, a genius' contribution to productivity is a thousand times, ten thousand times that of ordinary people. When ordinary people only enjoy the fruits of genius's promotion of productivity, what is fairness?"

"At that time, can ordinary people feel at ease? Are geniuses willing?"

"In the era when it is inevitable to deepen learning and require every ordinary person to have more sophisticated technical knowledge, can Daqin's system of suppressing human nature and human heart match the vitality that society should have?"

"Big boy."

"Era is developing, Daqin...has passed."

Juzi's eyes became very serious. He listened to Zhang Zhixiang's words seriously, and seriously thought about the future of civilization. Compared with Zhang Zhixiang, he lacked "imagination" for the future.

He didn't realize what human society would look like after the productivity has been greatly developed.

Now that Zhang Zhixiang has figured this out, he also understands.

In a society where the greatest value of ordinary people is their needs, the merit system...is really out of date.

On the contrary, it is the imperial examination, which is more effective.

"The era..." Juzi muttered these two words, he was silent for a while, and asked, "Can you describe more? Your ideal future."
