Can you live forever

Chapter 391

The first nominal peasant uprising was the Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising.

Then most of the peasant uprisings in the Western Han Dynasty were at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, or in other words, it had already reached the new dynasty of Wang Mang. The large-scale uprisings included the Green Forest Uprising and the Red Eyebrow Army Uprising.

By the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were 43 peasant uprisings, and the Yellow Turban Army uprising in the last year had the greatest impact.

The number of peasant uprisings also increased during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, but relatively speaking, the unified Datang surpassed the former in terms of the number and scale of peasant uprisings.

If we look at history, we will find that since the peasant uprisings, with the development of history, the number of peasant uprisings has generally increased. In the Song Dynasty, it reached its peak, and there were 437 peasant uprisings in the two Song Dynasties.

In the Ming Dynasty, not including the Chongzhen period, there were 112 times.

Of course, we don’t count the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the value is too big. During the period from 1902 to 1911 alone, there were 1400 peasant uprisings. From the establishment of the dynasty to its demise, the uprisings never stopped. The density is high and the scale is large. Never existed since ancient times.

It is normal to say that there are many uprisings in the last years of the dynasty and in troubled times.

But why did peasant uprisings continue in the unified Tang Dynasty and the so-called "rich" Song Dynasty?There is no need to insist on one feudal exploitation, but to see the essence through feudal exploitation.

after all.

Only when money can be spent can it be called money and have value.

Can the material enjoyment of the ancient people be as good as the modern ones?No matter how extravagant one desires, one must have sufficient productivity to provide a material foundation. Therefore, enjoyment and material foundation complement each other.

Exploitation and industry are also positively correlated.

Of course, this is only established when history is developing in a positive direction. If it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty who turned backwards, they would naturally not follow it. Industry did not exist in a slavery society, and industry only existed after Qin Shihuang unified the world and implemented centralized power.

So it doesn't matter what kind of Westernization Movement the Manchu Qing later carried out, or what kind of reforms and reforms were carried out.

Neither.

Because they neither intend to invest in quantifiable monetary capital, nor do they have unquantifiable centralized capital investment, and they lack the technical information accumulated since ancient times.

There is no condition, how to industrialize?

But when the industrial level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty dropped to an extremely low level, was it when the White Snake was at its weakest?No, it is not limited to one family and one country, and the Xiluo people are doing capital densification at all costs.

and so.

As long as civilization is still developing, the White Snake will be stronger, and if civilization is destroyed, it may only be destroyed by itself, while other civilizations are growing wildly, and the White Snake will not become weaker.

……

……

"According to what you say, the white snake is an invincible existence?"

Listening to Qian Heng and the others' answers, the First Emperor seemed extraordinarily calm when he took over Jiajing's most difficult question.

Qian Heng still couldn't give an answer. After thinking for a while, Juzi could only say: "The biggest problem at the moment is that Xu Jie can develop unscrupulously. The faster the development, the greater the benefit to the White Snake."

"And we must consider the strength of the White Snake."

"The White Snake didn't do anything now, it's just because it's still in the Great Heat, Patriarch Sanfeng and the others have the power to suppress the White Snake, but the suppression can't be eliminated."

"Once the Great Heat is over, neither the white snake nor the black dragon can solve it."

The First Emperor nodded lightly, then looked at Yao Guangxiao, and asked, "What does the monk think?"

Yao Guangxiao has been to other worlds in his dream, and he has also been to the future. The emperor has reported this to the first emperor, so the first emperor keenly believes that Yao Guangxiao can find a way to break the situation.

In this regard.

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a while, and tentatively said: "This kind of paradox of contradiction, there will also be a situation in later generations, which is aimed at the financial hegemony of currency."

"It's called the Triffin Dilemma, or the Triffin Paradox."

"For example, Daming Banknotes are linked to gold, and other countries issue currencies with Daming Banknotes as the anchor, so countries must use Daming Banknotes as settlement and reserve currencies for international trade."

"This has led to the continuous precipitation of Daming banknotes overseas."

"For the balance of payments of the Ming Dynasty, after excluding the monetary content of gold and silver, only the precious banknotes in the Ming Dynasty are constantly flowing out. That is to say, the Ming Dynasty must spend money to buy more commodities. Above all, we are in deficit."

"But Daming Banknotes can be used as an international core currency."

"The premise must be that the currency value of Daming Banknotes is stable, and the currency value is stable, and Daming must maintain a trade surplus. Only in this way can we withdraw the currency stably and keep the currency value stable."

"Under this paradox, how to maintain the financial hegemony of the currency without running a trade surplus?"

"Later generations have an answer."

"That is market expansion. Market expansion is equivalent to a trade surplus, but the actual trade situation is in a state of deficit, allowing countries to continuously absorb precious banknotes and realize the overseas precipitation of currencies."

"The earliest market expansion was the great geographical discovery, colonization, war, and plunder."

"Market expansion at this level is limited, because at the level of low-level information exchange, the market can only be expanded by opening up actual space."

"And this expansion will reach its limit after the world is developed."

"Once the inflation stops, the paradox occurs."

"This leads to the collapse of financial hegemony. In the future history, the first thing that will cause this collapse is the British pound, a currency of the Xiluo people."

"And after the pound collapsed and the US dollar rose."

"Because of the new development of science and technology, the market expansion has benefited from the increase in the speed of information exchange, and it has entered the second stage, the information world and financial derivatives."

"The noun probably means..."

"In short, the expansion of the market is a spatial element, and the space is different due to the speed of information exchange. The actual geographic space, the data space of the information world, and the virtual space that is completely divorced from reality, later generations will call this metaverse."

"No matter what, in order to maintain financial hegemony, it is necessary to let the market expand without limit and continue to create bubbles."

"so."

"The industry of future generations will be a monster raised by continuously overdrafting future capital after infinite expansion."

Even if other people have not seen it with their own eyes, they can feel what a crazy world it is just by listening to Yao Guangxiao's explanation. When the whole world needs bubbles to survive, because someone blows the bubble first, other countries have to follow suit , then entered the stage of raising Gu with each other.

No one can stop. They are waiting for the other party to fall first before they can take a breath, but they can't burst the bubble. Instead, they have to increase the bubble and transfer the price.

It was an unreal world.

A world that flew into the sky and didn't know how to land safely...

"I can't imagine how terrifying the white snake was at that time." Qian Heng said with emotion.

But Juzi said sharply: "Where poisonous snakes haunt, there are herbs that can detoxify. Master Daoyan said that the place where poisonous snakes are the most poisonous, is this where we should start to find the antidote?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "Exactly."

Regarding the importance of financial hegemony, Yao Guangxiao explained that it was Hebuy. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, paper money was overissued and depreciated by thousands of times, but the court could still use paper money to collect food from the people. This is called Hebuy.

The imperial court has financial hegemony, but the people can only exchange grain for a pile of waste paper...

Through trade, a country that has financial hegemony can openly exploit other countries with waste paper, and it can be said that it can take whatever it wants from other countries' resources, thus supporting terrible industrial monsters.

In the process of making offerings, it is tantamount to playing with fire and setting yourself on fire.

So under the paradox, market expansion cannot stop for a moment...

This is the way to support the ultimate monster, and after finding this way, how to deal with the monster...

"Their paradox lies in financial hegemony and trade deficit. After solving the paradox, the deep exploitation of world resources through financial hegemony will support a more high-end industrial system."

"And our paradox is that, without exploitation, capital density must be completed to develop industry. In this way, the problem is fundamentally solved, and what industry brings is not destroyed, and the white snake will naturally be weakened."

"White Snake does not become stronger because of industrial development, but because industrial development inevitably requires higher capital density, which leads to deeper exploitation."

"That's the essence."

The first emperor directly saw through the essence and put forward the conditions of the paradox.

How can the paradox be resolved?
The solution to the Triffin paradox is to expand the market and smooth out the trade deficit through increments, so as to achieve a surplus in actual effect, complete stable currency value, and maintain financial hegemony.

And what should they do?

Without exploitation, there will be no pressure on the natural environment, and there will be no destruction of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and there will be no drinking poison to quench thirst. But under such circumstances, how to complete capital density and support industry?

"I'm wondering if Zhang Zhixiang's cycle of dynastic cycles since the Qin Dynasty, represented by the cycle of industrial metabolism, is an answer?"

"The essence of the market is space."

"And in the metabolic cycle, what expands is time, and the problem of exploitation is solved through time expansion, so as to achieve low exploitation in the average sense to complete capital densification?"

Juzi said thoughtfully, which also opened up the minds of everyone.

When the problem came down to the yin and yang of time and space, Qian Heng gradually became inspired. Even if he is not qualified to be a heavenly official, he is still a master in his field of expertise.

Qian Heng first thought: "Longevity, isn't it the expansion of time?"

"Don't talk about the difference between people, is the ability to think about problems different under a person's different mentality?"

"Buddhism and Taoism have practice, and Confucianism also has it."

"The "University" begins with a saying: The way of the university lies in clearing morality, being close to the people, and stopping at the ultimate good. After knowing and stopping, there is steadiness, and after steadiness, you can be calm. Things have their origins and ends, and things have their beginnings and ends; knowing the sequence of events is the shortest path.”

"Stop, steadiness, tranquility, tranquility, concern, attainment."

"If you can learn quickly and understand the essence, isn't it a kind of time expansion?"

"Zhang Zhixiang's direction is not wrong. The more we study, the more we can confirm each other!"

Qian Heng said that he had no intention, but Juzi listened with intention, sighed faintly, different from the more research on internal arithmetic, the more mutual confirmation, the more research on external arithmetic, the more contradictory.

It's hard to say.

Yao Guangxiao twirled the beads and said, "Maybe you can live like years, or you can change with each passing day."

Time is both objective and subjective.

The objective lifespan, the subjective 1 years is too long to seize the day.

Therefore, when the subjective initiative is exerted, time is inflated, so the degree of exploitation is actually reduced... This also explains the development of productivity and the increase in average life expectancy. The degree of exploitation has deepened, but the actual perception is not so obvious.This is not just a feedback on the pressure of life, but also the actual level of exploitation.

"So, still work hard on people's hearts?"

The first emperor naturally knew what Zhang Zhixiang's reform advocated, and there was no problem with the direction, but this "dragon has regrets", but the time has not yet come, and the height of "flying dragon in the sky" is not enough.

No one was asked.

The First Emperor got up, walked down the golden hall slowly, and walked out of the palace gate without comparing himself with Efang Palace. Looking at the Forbidden City, which was much smaller than the Xianyang Palace, he slowly closed his eyes in the cramped palace city. Feel the wind blowing.

He murmured: "People's hearts must be seen in life, and life must be seen in people's hearts."

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away."

"Need to emphasize moral construction?"

"But... if you abandon sage and wisdom, the benefits will be multiplied by the people;

"The more you want to emphasize, the more you will miss."

"Therefore, virtue comes after loss of Dao, benevolence comes after loss of virtue, righteousness comes after loss of benevolence, propriety comes after loss of righteousness. Those who are courteous, the thinnest of loyalty and trust, lead to chaos; those who know beforehand, the brilliance of Dao, and the beginning of foolishness."

"The only thing that can be explained by rules is etiquette. Morality, benevolence and righteousness cannot be expressed..."

"And speaking of etiquette is the beginning of cholera..."

"How do I deal with people's hearts?"

"Do not."

"It's not about dealing with people's hearts, and there's no need to deal with them. It's about forgiving people's hearts."

"With the development of human nature, the social network is getting bigger and bigger, so today's people are not as good as the ancients, and they can't be innocent and natural, so they will lose morality, morality, benevolence, righteousness, and then disrespect, and their loyalty will also be thin. There is no more public heart, no more virtue to speak of."

"To expand time, you have to forgive people's hearts and lives..."

"It's Zhang Zhixiang who talked about peace of mind, but people's hearts are not just peace of mind, and life is not just about living and working in peace."

"Not all people have the heart to seek the Tao and know what the meaning and goal of life are. Life is a practice, but more people are following the trend."

"To give meaning to the times, so that many people's lives will also have meaning."

"This is forgiveness, not letting go of selfishness, letting go of the times, letting go of the so-called 'personality'. The real forgiveness is to allow this life to be unawakened, not to know that life is a practice..."

"Only in this way can we gradually move towards national awareness in the long course of history."

"The meaning of an era is the hearts of the people, and the progress of the era is the lives of all. A meaningful era is not a time given to it by a few people, but an era in which everyone participates."

"That's time dilation."
