Chapter 2846 Helpless
Duran is kindhearted and soft-hearted. Seeing that the little king is so afraid of alien enemies, he gives humans two hundred years to allow them to accumulate some development first.
Violence, the little king also realized that he had to be more ruthless when doing things. It is impossible to find a way to have the best of both worlds. Who let humans establish a consensus? However, the cost of managing underground cities around the world is very high. If he uses violence, how can he have so many troops and so many resources?
But if the underground cities manage themselves, wouldn’t it really enter the era of princes? However, the little king thought that if it was really the era of princes, the princes would naturally develop the local surface, and he only needed to control the core agricultural technology.
Just like the five suits in ancient times, the middle is the king’s capital, and the outside is the Dianfu, Houfu, Suifu, Yaofu, and Huangfu. The so-called suit is to serve the emperor. Of course, to put it more simply, the middle is the city, the outside is the pastoral area for grazing, and the outermost is the wild area for farming. Every city in the Western Zhou Dynasty is like this.
The city has the best technology and can manufacture vehicles, boats, salt, bronze, and seed breeding and other high-end technologies. The pastoral area is naturally for grazing, and the wild area is for farming. The living materials needed by the pastoral and wild areas must be obtained from the city, forming a dependent relationship. The famous Battle of Muye, which determined who was the winner between Shang and Zhou, was simply a fight in the suburbs. In the end, King Wu of Zhou won and King Zhou of Shang lost. The main reason why King Zhou of Shang lost was that the slaves suddenly turned against him in front of the battle.
Of course, this is not only the case in ancient times, but also in modern times. Developed countries master cutting-edge technology, and developing countries engage in low-end industries and raw material exports. In fact, the model is the same, which is a dependent relationship.
So Xiao Wang thought that now that he has mastered the technology of quantum computers, heat-generating microorganisms and light moss, if he divides it, if other underground cities want to develop, they must form a dependent relationship with him, and the cost will be reduced.
The cost of begging others to obey you is definitely different from that of others actively obeying you.
"It is difficult to develop all the underground cities in the world at once. It is better to recognize the autonomy of the underground cities, and then form a dependent relationship between the underground cities that want to develop. We control the cutting-edge technology, and other underground cities either accept the technology or provide slaves. This way, we can promote development and stimulate trade." Xiao Wang has been hit by Duran and does not want to become fat in one go. Instead, he is ready to divide the land. The era of wandering is so long. Even if he completes the unification now, there will be division in the future.
For the progress of mankind and the future of the earth, different routes will appear. Everyone's ideas are good, but I am afraid that there is no chance to take all the resources of the earth. In the end, for the beautiful goal, different routes will fight, which will still lead to civil war.
So divide the land.
"Right and wrong, leave it to future generations to judge." Xiao Wang is ready to propose a plan for the autonomous management of underground cities. At that time, each underground city will be autonomous and do whatever it wants. The rationing system is not needed. Just trade directly. At that time, no matter how the wealth will flow, he only cares about the most advanced technology, and the rest is up to you.
"No, if that happens, some underground cities will definitely become hells." Someone pointedly asked what to do if tyrants appear in the autonomous underground cities?
"The underground city space is very narrow, and it is easy for some warlords who break the bottom line to appear. At that time, all those horrific things will break out. Do you really not care about everyone's life and death?"
Xiao Wang certainly knows what the style of tyrants in small countries is. There are many in history, but as long as the slave system is adopted, the country will be much more harmonious. There are citizens and slaves, and everyone oppresses the slaves together, and life will be very comfortable, even if there are individual tyrants.
"If you treat the victims as slaves, there will be no problem." Xiao Wang said coldly. He carried too much and took it all. These underground cities were in turmoil, but he didn't know that Duran might contact aliens at any time. What they have to do is to develop as soon as possible and accumulate strength, even if they sacrifice some people to become slaves. This is not an ideal ending, but it is indeed a feasible method.
Under the current productivity, he can't be perfect.
"How can you be so cold-blooded?"
Facing the scolding, Xiao Wang said nothing, because he knew that this was the only way. Of course, for many dungeons that don't want to waste resources, autonomy is good news, and trade is also good news, and they agree with both hands.
Of course, some dungeon managers are calm. They know that in this doomsday environment, unity is the best outcome, but it is difficult to go against public opinion. No one wants to live a hard life and doesn't want to be the price, so this is the only way.
In fact, at this time, Duran can already play with automation and hand over the surface to the development of automated robots, but he doesn't want to. He wants to watch the performance of humans and watch them suspect each other.
"It is at this time that the greatness of Mencius is reflected." Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi can be said to be the three key figures of Confucianism. Confucius proposed benevolence, Mencius proposed righteousness, and Xunzi proposed law, which can be said to be a perfect fit for the "Tao Te Ching" that the great way is abandoned with benevolence and righteousness, and wisdom comes out with great falsehood.
Benevolence is a distribution relationship, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, and the son is the son, and everyone takes what they deserve.
Righteousness is a social norm, because human nature is good, so nobles, scholars, common people, and even barbarians should trust each other and sacrifice themselves for others, because the victims will believe that others are also kind and can take good care of their seventh uncle and are worthy of entrusting their wives and children to him.
Xunzi actually proposed the gentleman's etiquette, which was eventually transformed into law. His disciples were all legalists. He proposed that human nature is evil, that is, people will kill each other for resources, and it is impossible for them to be kind, so they are evil, so a set of gentleman's etiquette should be established to regulate it. In the end, his disciples were all legalists, and the gentleman's etiquette directly evolved into law.
The good and evil of human nature is actually not important. The various schools of thought actually only used good and evil to explain their own views. Mencius hoped that the nobles, scholars, and people of the country could trust each other and not be suspicious. Xunzi hoped to establish a reward and punishment mechanism to regulate the way everyone grabs benefits.
Later, basically both methods were used, jumping back and forth between good and evil, and how to use them depends on the amount of social resources. However, Confucius's distribution method of benevolence has been passed down. After all, no one would say that it is wrong to take what they should take, and all those who control the resources would not object.
Mencius wanted to break the chain of suspicion and proposed that human nature is good, hoping that people of different classes can trust each other. This is a great innovation. Because of kindness, we can trust them. Unfortunately, when the resource conditions are high, there is no problem, but when the resource conditions are low, there is no way.
In the process of managing the underground city, Xiao Wang deeply experienced the greatness of Mencius. Although he was too idealistic, it was incredible to have such a great idea. Unfortunately, the chain of suspicion is impossible to disappear.
And Xunzi's gentleman's etiquette is also difficult to work all the time. After all, Guan Zhong said in his time: All countries have laws, but there is no law to enforce the law. That is to say, each vassal state has laws, but there is no law that can make the laws implemented.
So in the era of wandering, in the era of high cost of law management, Xiao Wang's choice of enfeoffment is not wrong. Enfeoffment, and then everyone raises resources for development, may be the best choice.
