C3959 population lock (1/2)
”Why is the Confucian able to become an advantageous weapon to the ruling class? Wasn't it because the Confucian's ideas were too suitable for farming? The loyalty, filial piety and righteousness that he advocates are supplemented by many other minor items! ”
”For example, filial piety! His parents were travelling far away, in the ancestral shrine's land, he was being offered sacrifices all the time … ”Just how many people are targeted by these rules?”
”What does the farming civilization need the most? It was the entrance … It is locking down many generations of the population onto the land, continuously farming it and then producing wealth! ”
”This is the foundation of the farming civilization, and what the Confucian promotes is stability like this as well. He has to think of a way to lock the population and not casually move about!”
”Business, on the other hand, goes the other way. The population must move along with the goods, which is also wealth! Regardless of whether it was a mountain, desert, or a blue sea … As long as you have wealth, you must pursue it! ”
”These are two basic conflicts. Fish and bear paws cannot be obtained together! ”If the population starts to move, the farming civilization will definitely suffer a devastating blow!”
”But since you have locked your population onto your hometown's land, your business civilization will definitely collapse. You will not be able to explore the The Age of Great Navigation!”
”A dilemma!” This is the real dilemma! ”
”Now that you think about it... Is such a soul-stirring bloody battle in the Beijing really fought for selfish reasons? ”
”Wrong!” This is a major change that hasn't been seen in three thousand years! ”
”In Capital... The capitalism formed by the rise of mercantilism has begun to fight against the farming civilization that was lagging behind in the China! ”
These words raised the issue so much that no one could look up to it. As people chewed on each word, their hearts began to surge!
What exactly was going on in that three thousand year old major change? What caused the conflict? In fact, it was not a Golden Silver nor was it a commercial interest!
In the end, the century collision of the Eastern Western Civilization s in the nineteenth century was a confrontation between the farming and industrial civilizations.
”You may be having problems again. Didn't you just say mercantilism and capitalism? Why are you talking about industrial civilization now? ”
”In fact, this is all one. The industrial civilization can only flourish in the soil of mercantilism and capitalism. The farming civilization cannot produce an industrial civilization at all!”
”The truth is very simple, because the core of all the wealth in a farming civilization is locked on the land. If you want the farming civilization to shine brightly, then you must have a complete set of matching systems that suit you!”
”Law and culture... There must be a system suitable for farming! Now that a Confucian has appeared, no matter how the name changes, this kind of system will naturally appear! ”
”Because the farming civilization needs something like this to lock the population onto the ground!”
”But an industrial civilization can't do that. With the premise of increasing industrial productivity, they use advanced Technology to arm the hands of humans and use fossil energy to obtain limitless strength!”
”Compared to the handicraft industry of the past, these productivity gains are almost exponential! ”With so much productivity, there are just so many more products!”
