Chapter 1020 Shake, Natives
In the evening, Liu Jie and Sun Yousheng bid farewell to Song Hengsheng and left the construction site; but then Liu Jie and Sun Yousheng also bid farewell to each other. Sun Yousheng still needs to continue to visit the jurisdiction, but Liu Jie is going to return to Anyang to visit Li Xian.
On the way back, Liu Jie kept thinking about what he had seen and said along the way, and thought over and over about the situation in the Shang Kingdom for a long time. The most sophisticated industry in the country of Shang has reached the nanometer level, including the top magic weapons, excellent computers, etc.; and the most advanced technology in the country of Shang is probably intercontinental missiles, rockets, etc.
This is an unprecedented country, and it is also a country that fills Liu Jie with new hope.
Here, Liu Jie's thoughts were not rejected, and even accepted by many people; here, Liu Jie saw the future of the human race.
But at the same time, Liu Jie also saw the problems - although Shangguo is developing very well, there are still many problems. Among other things, the excessive pursuit of interests has led to the indifference within the Shang country, which is already a problem that cannot be ignored.
Liu Jie only met Li Xian in the evening three days later. King Xian was really busy, and now he was busy deploying the annihilation of the Five Elements Spiritual World, and it took him a long time to squeeze out one night.
When Yuan Yun went to pick Liu Jie up, he specifically told him: King Xian has pushed a lot of things to spare the night, so you must seize the opportunity. There are not many opportunities to meet King Xian alone like this.
Liu Jie immediately understood. But this time Liu Jie met Li Xian in the living room in the palace.
The royal palace of the Shang Kingdom combines the grandeur of traditional architecture with a sense of iron and steel dreams, especially the palace hall, which is full of some kind of inexplicable depression—in fact, the entire palace is composed of five specially designed huge aircraft Composition, you can run away!
However, the design of this kind of aircraft is kept secret from the outside world. Others can only feel the strangeness of this palace. From the outside, it seems that the whole body is made of top-level metal materials.
When Liu Jie came, Li Xian was waiting with Xia Qingqing, Ao Qingxue, Gu Yue Yuhua, and Li Nuo's family for a while. When Liu Jie came to the door, Li Xian came out to greet him in person.
But before Liu Jie could express his gratitude and apology, Yan Ze'an, Xu Ren, He Zhiguo, Zhu Chongde, Fang Shijing, Yuan Yong and others also came.
Seeing this posture, Liu Jie's heart trembled a little - it seems that tonight is really a rare opportunity, and maybe there will be no such opportunity in the future.
Success or failure, in one fell swoop!
After everyone sat down, Li Xian spoke first: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, because of various reasons, we didn't have the chance to meet until now.
He Zhiguo has always admired his husband very much, so tonight I called some think tanks from Shangguo to discuss it together.
I don't know what to do with Mr. "
You have called me, can I still turn around and leave? Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Liu Jie could only smile and say, "Thank you King Xian for your kindness."
"Then, please tell me how you think, sir? Let's go step by step. The first step is to talk about the idea purely, and then we will discuss it based on the situation of the Shang Dynasty."
"Okay." Liu Jie took a deep breath and began to talk.
The thought of "Tongyi between Heaven and Man" inherited by Liu Jie can be said to be broad and profound, inheriting the way of heaven and conveying human nature. It not only has principles for personal practice and development, but also has guidance for the development of the country. What Shang Guo lacks now is guidance for the development of the country.
That kind of development guidance is not the guidance for the development of industry and commerce, capitalism, and science; it is the kind of guidance that makes the country, like a person, continue to practice and progress. This is also the most important purpose of the Shang Kingdom's dispatch of the Dongsheng Divine Mission.
After Liu Jie finished speaking in one breath, Li Xian and others asked some key points and vague points; many questions were very tricky, which made it difficult for Liu Jie to parry. But Liu Jie was not angry, because being able to ask these questions meant that Li Xian and others were listening, analyzing and thinking carefully.
This is the first time Liu Jie's thought has been truly accepted.
After that, the most important test came: it is useless to have great ideas, you must be down-to-earth!
Liu Jie took another deep breath to calm down his previous impetuous mood, knowing that the next step is the most critical moment. Apparently, the thoughts I just expressed have been accepted by Shang Guo, as you can tell by the glowing eyes of everyone. But if you are 'ungrounded' next, you will still be abandoned!
The so-called down-to-earth is to solve practical problems. And this has a premise, that is: find the problem!
The present state of Shang is prosperous; although it has gone through wars and chaos, the state of Shang has initially recovered in just a few months. No one dares to pat their chests and say: I can find problems in such a business country and correct them.
But Liu Jie has the courage and vision!
"Qi Xian Wang, the biggest problem of the Shang country now is that the people's hearts are impetuous. The society is progressing too fast, which has surpassed the perception of ordinary people.
But the problem in the Shang Dynasty now is that the speed of progress cannot be stopped; instead of stopping, it will become faster and faster.
If we say that the Shang Kingdom before the Earth Tribulation was still running on the ground; then the Shang Kingdom after the Earth Tribulation has already soared into the sky and is flying in the sky.
Therefore, the most important problem and the most prominent contradiction in the Shang Dynasty now is the direct disconnect between people's cognitive level and the country's development speed.
Although the virtuous king initiated democratic ideas and carried out education for all, judging from the current situation, the development speed of the people still cannot keep up with the development speed of the country and science and technology.
Especially now in the newly occupied area of the Shang Kingdom, the people there are even more at a loss. "
Li Xian nodded after hearing this, and looked at Liu Jie with brighter eyes. This problem has seriously hampered the development of Shang Kingdom! However, Shangguo has not had a good solution.
After Liu Jie finished talking about the problem, he looked around, and the next step was to solve the problem:
"There is a saying that human nature is inherently evil. It is human nature not to think about progress, to prefer leisure and to work, to pick fat and pick thin, to prefer light to heavy, to sit and wait for the sky to fall, etc.
The biggest problem for the people of the Shang Dynasty now is that they get too much! "
Liu Jie's words suddenly shocked everyone present.
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Liu Jie continued: "To be honest, what kind of contribution did the people of Shang country make to the country? But look at what kind of reward they got?
In this world, a reciprocal relationship is emphasized, and between the people and the country, the reciprocal relationship is also linked to class.
It is reasonable for the common people to work ten times harder and get a reward.
But it is extravagant for the common people to work three times harder and get one return, which will lead to instability of the country.
And the people get as much as they pay, and the country is in chaos! Because the people have lost their respect for the country.
If you get it too easily, you will be smug; if things go on like this, the country will slowly degenerate in an atmosphere of laziness and laziness. If someone now collects taxes from the people of the Shang Kingdom, I think it will definitely be greatly hindered.
There is such an idea in Dongsheng Shenzhou: a real government must learn to treat the people harshly; This is not derogatory, but because the people are short-sighted and often only focus on the immediate and destroy the overall situation.
Those people who already have a clear understanding are precious and need to be loved.
But those people who know nothing and only know what to ask must be treated harshly, otherwise they will ruin the country!
Many of the reforms and reforms promoted by the virtuous king are excellent, but virtuous king, you forgot to consider the "human nature" of the people. "
Li Xian was a little disapproving at first, but after Liu Jie finished speaking, Li Xian suddenly broke into a cold sweat. "I don't know, is there a solution?"
Liu Jie said slowly and clearly: "It's not too late to make amends. After all, the Shang country has only just developed for a short time, and Yingzhou is now in a catastrophe. The hearts of the people are still simple.
Now, it is time to classify the people of the Shang Kingdom. Only with hierarchy can the country be truly stable; only with hierarchy can the people see the hope of progress.
In my opinion, in terms of the existing legal and social systems of the Shang Dynasty, we should divide:
There are three levels of civilians, citizens, and nobles.
Civilians refer to the newly occupied areas, those who have just surrendered, criminals and their descendants, those whose cultivation level is below the Foundation Establishment Stage or even below the Golden Core Stage, and whose educational level is below junior high school.
Citizens, just follow the current system, that is to say, keep the current situation of citizens unchanged, so as to maintain social stability.
Noble people are those who have contributed to the country, have advanced cultivation, graduated from Xinghuo University, middle and senior engineers, scientific researchers, etc.
There must be a clear distinction between different levels, including rights, social status, purchase restriction rights, welfare benefits, and so on.
There should be relatively clear room for improvement between different levels, so that the people can see hope.
There should also be a 'demotion rule' between different levels.
All provide basic subsistence allowances and legal guarantees, so that people can work hard with confidence.
In nature, tigers and leopards, wolf dogs, rabbits, grasses, etc. constitute a strict hierarchy, so the whole nature is healthy. The country, on the other hand, must learn from this model. Ordinary civilians are grass, citizens are rabbits, nobles are dogs, and officials are tigers and leopards to manage the country.
The king should be like a dragon, patrolling the four directions and acting as herdsmen on behalf of the heavens. "
Li Xian tapped the table lightly with his index finger, and everyone around did not speak, or did not dare to speak for the time being.
After Liu Jie finished speaking, Li Xian nodded again: "Mr. Liu is right. However, how to bridge the gap between the people and the country's rapid development is still unresolved."
Liu Jie smiled confidently: "It's solved, the classification of citizens is based on this. Those who can't keep up with the pace of the country's development can only be civilians! Only those who can keep up with the pace of the country's development can be citizens.
In this way, the common people must work hard, and the citizens cannot relax. As long as it is maintained, the people will naturally progress spontaneously. A virtuous king should not underestimate the wisdom of the people, it's just that most of the time the people are lazy and lazy.
Of course, the country needs to continue to provide education for all people. Without education, even if the people want to work hard, they will not have enough knowledge. "
Li Xian thought for a long time again, and finally nodded in praise: "How about this, Mr. Liu, you stay with Yan Ze'an for the time being. I have a small suggestion."
"Your Majesty, please tell me."
"You follow Yan Ze'an first, and then you talk less and watch more, and don't participate in the national politics of Shang Kingdom for the time being. When you feel that you are really sure, speak again."
"I understand." Liu Jie was not dissatisfied, but full of admiration for Li Xian like this.
In fact, even if Liu Jie is allowed to implement his own strategy now, Liu Jie himself may not be sure of success. How can a country's strategy change at will? Moreover, the reason why the Shang country is developing rapidly now is that many places have benefited from the interests of the general public.
Without complete assurance, Li Xian did not dare to change the law casually!
Besides, Liu Jie's opinion can only be said to be a general direction, a guiding opinion. Shang Guo is no longer a purely small group, but a huge country.
Although the Shang Dynasty always continued reforms in the past, these reforms themselves were "mind emancipation"; and Liu Jie's opinion, at least on the surface, was a "regression", because it actively deepened the social hierarchy.
It should be said that there was a hierarchical system in the Shang Dynasty before, but it was downplayed; the emergence of democracy and the electoral system made the hierarchical system down to the limit. But after Liu Jie's analysis, Li Xian had to admit that in such an environment as Xianyu, Shang Guo left too hastily! I made a mistake in my busy schedule!
The emergence of democracy is good; but if we act too hastily, it will only encourage the seedlings to grow. Now, the wheat seedlings that have been pulled out need to be pressed back to the ground.
…………
Above the moon, a grand event is unfolding.
So in the Concession of Shang Kingdom and Fengtian Mansion, there was another scene of excitement. The core of this excitement is naturally the upcoming "Immortal Domain Forum" and related auctions.
Fengtian Mansion is a concession allocated by the Golden Sword Divine Kingdom to the Shang Kingdom, with a radius of 100 kilometers. Since it is a concession, of course it will not be managed by the Golden Sword Kingdom.
Moreover, Fengtian Mansion itself is on the border of the Golden Sword God Kingdom, and the other side is close to the Earth God Kingdom.
However, the Golden Sword God Kingdom is not a good old man, and the divided Fengtian Mansion is backed by mountains; obviously, this makes it difficult for Fengtian Mansion to communicate with the outside world. The mountains in front of us stretch for thousands of miles, half-enclosing the location of Fengtian Mansion; the front and rear spans of the mountains are as high as more than 50 kilometers, and the average height is about 1000 meters; such a mountain is really an obstacle to the exchange of civilizations!
However, the person in charge of Fengtian Mansion is Li Yuanming! It's Li Yuanming! It's Li Yuanming!
After seeing this mountain range, Li Yuanming's first reaction was...smile!
"There are good and bad things about this matter. The mountain range seems to block the development of Fengtian Mansion and foreign exchanges, but it is only suitable for ordinary situations, but not for Shang Kingdom!
Just in time, use this mountain range to show the methods of Shang Kingdom.
Natives, are you ready? Shang Guo, let you see another power!
Hmph, Kingdom of the Golden Sword God, if you divide us into a good place, we have no excuse to destroy it; but giving us such a corner allows us to destroy it recklessly.
This mountain range belongs to the border line between the Kingdom of the Golden Sword and the Kingdom of the Earth. It is a three-way zone. It just so happens that we let the Kingdom of Shang occupy it! "
