C1076 Chinese Government Architecture (1/2)
Xiao Letian's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He nodded and smiled to Ma Xiu, ”Your Americans is really powerful. Today, the sharpest problem with the China Clan Token was raised by you guys! Your fearless aura of the morning sun is truly worthy for us to learn! ”In comparison, the atmosphere in Asia is much more depressing. The atmosphere is depressing …”
All the Ryukyu officials present blushed a little. They themselves knew that the people who had grown up in the Asian monarch officials thought system, they were born with a type of obedience and less resistance to power. However, this kind of cultural attribute was definitely not something that Xiao Letian could change by himself.
”Your question is very good, I can give you an answer! Throughout the history of human civilization, all civilizations that are relatively fair and divided in power have a long lifespan. Who do you think is the star of longevity? ”Of course it's these people!”
”The Han, Tang, Song, and the Ancient Rome empires in Europe might have been afflicted with various diseases during their time of existence, but their lifespan was much longer than that of the centralized barbarian race!”
”This is a kind of helplessness of centralizing power! When a nation chooses the idea of centralization, then the pooled social resources must be released somewhere, just like the large amount of potential energy stored in the reservoir! The only way to ensure that the dam doesn't collapse is to continue the war, or to be more accurate, to continue investing in the large project and big technology! ”
”Unfortunately, the medieval world was influenced by geography and technology. There would always be an end to the war, and even if Genghis Khan's Mongol Steel Cavalry swept through Eurasia, there would always be a time where they wouldn't be able to conquer it. As for national investment, it's just like Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty going to the West.
”The theory is too simple. The history of mankind is a business sutra! Investment must have a return. If there is no return on investment, then the end result of this kind of investment will be a collapse! ”
”The initial investment for Zheng He's business with Xiyang was much more than the discovery from Europe, but unfortunately, Zheng He's business ended up with a loss. Although the The Age of Great Navigation's starting point was low and the investment was low, they soon saw the profits and only after seeing the profits the Europeans could continue their business, right?”
”In fact, isn't war an investment? Why were the screaming soldiers fighting? ”Actually, most of it is for benefits. Since the war became a loss-making business, then the war naturally cannot continue!”
The reason why centralization has an end is because the resources and wealth gathered by centralization will not always be able to earn money. When the surrounding areas can be completely robbed, and when the good business is done with, then the wealth and resources gathered by centralization can only be stored within the dam and the potential energy accumulated will become a disaster in the future!
”There will be internal problems during the later stages of the centralization of power. Of course, I know that, when the centralization of power can no longer be shared with the citizens for drinking, the amount of wealth and resources concentrated will increase, and the hatred of the citizens will be greater. In the end, the internal strife will be inevitable!”
Xiao Letian calmly looked at Ma Xiu, ”I know what you want to say, and I also know that you want to bring up the topic. There are no nobles in the America, and no hierarchy exists. There, all citizens are equal, or at least equal right to vote! ”
”Besides, the recovery of the American economy after the war these few years was really quite good. Would it be nice to shut up for a while? That's why you think that absolute democracy and freedom are the right path. The aristocrat class system that I, Xiao Letian, have chosen, as well as the mode of elite governance are backward! ”
”Dear Ma Xiu! Is that what you're trying to say? ”
Ma Xiu laughed and shrugged: ”That's right! Of course, I agree with Mike. We do not discriminate against the monarchical countries of the world. After all, the mainstream of Europe is monarchy! But I firmly believe that the trend of the future era is on our side, which is understandable! ”
