Chapter 601 Food is the most important thing for people 3500(1/2)
It was dusk that Wang Ting sent the emperor and his group out of the school in shock. Looking at the group who were gradually moving away under the sunset, Wang Ting looked like a dazed look.
"I'm not an ordinary person, but I'm always a surveillance guard. They are all fierce soldiers in the army and have extremely high martial arts skills!"
The old soldier frowned and looked at the departing emperor and his group, and said with certainty: "There is a team of cavalry on the mountain over there, and they are obviously elite soldiers in a hundred battles..."
"It feels."
Wang Ting nodded: "The things you ask are all aimed at understanding the pros and cons, and should be private visits from a big man in the court."
The old man turned around and murmured to himself: "It's better to have such a big shot."
Wang Ting was stunned and then shook his head and smiled: "Although big shots are good, there are too many little ghosts!"
The old man hummed twice, as stubborn as ever.
...
"What are your thoughts?"
Under the setting sun at dusk, the emperor stood on the hillside, overlooking the smoke from the cooking stove, and the people were free to ask for a leisurely question.
Huang Jin was silent for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief: "The most fundamental problem is the administration."
"No one who governs is good at clearing the officials. If the officials are not honest and peaceful, then the governance will decline and the officials will not be clear, so how can the people be safe?"
"My dear brother is a sharp attack!"
The emperor chuckled, no matter what policy it is, it requires officials from level to level to implement.
The quality of an official will determine the quality of any policy.
Even if this education system is changed thousands of times, it is absolutely impossible to be the most perfect in the end. In order to restrict human nature and balance power, many good policies must be cautious and even deliberately weakened and suppressed to avoid the terrifying consequences that officials do evil.
After a long silence, the emperor slowly spoke: "Let's start the trial and implementation of the two prefectures in Northern Zhili."
Huang Jin bowed his hand and responded: "I obey the order."
"Let's go."
The emperor waved his hand, and was indifferent to the world's power, and he had the heavenly constitution. If he decided on the matters in the world in one sentence, he could solve many things, but if he couldn't solve the problem, he could also directly overturn the table and solve the person who caused the problem.
But when faced with human nature, he has no choice. No matter how powerful he has, he cannot control everyone's thoughts.
The emperor turned over the horse, tied the reins, rode his horse, passed through the village again, and finally returned to the convoy. The horses were replaced with carriages, and walked slowly under the dusk and sunset.
The roads in the mountain village are rugged, and the carriages are shaking. Through the car window, the emperor looks at the acres of land beside the road, looking at the people who have worked for a day, with a faint look.
The so-called learning from history can tell the rise and fall.
From ancient times to the present, even if the times change completely, from ignorance to prosperity, the essence of this world has never changed.
That is, if the ruler wants to meet the needs of rule, he must give great rights and interests to the few who assist the ruler in ruling the world.
This is a must to maintain the rule of a country.
And this is naturally just to maintain the rule of a country. If the country is strong, the people live and work in peace, and even the most important thing is to rule for a long time!
From ancient times to the present, through dynasties and even in the future, there have been only two methods.
First, it is to suppress a few people, and the rulers redistribute resources to the majority through various means.
If the rulers have maintained strong redistribution and suppressed the expansion of vested interests, then the world will inevitably be peaceful and national strength will inevitably be strong.
Once this redistribution slows down or even stagnates, the world and the country will inevitably enter a vicious cycle bit by bit and enter a nearly irreversible dynasty decline!
Secondly, it has almost never appeared in the history of this land, and even if it has appeared, it is a flash in the pan.
And what really brought this method to the extreme was the Western countries in later generations.
Since domination is a process of resource redistribution, make the cake bigger!
For example, in later generations, Western countries, from colonizing the world and plundering global wealth, to plundering global wealth with economic and technological use to provide a country!
In this way, use global wealth, or the wealth of most of the world, to provide a country with!
Even if the resource redistribution is completely stagnant, even if the class is completely solidified, and the administration is incomplete, as long as this plunder continues, even if the interest class eats meat and drinks soup, leaving only a little insignificant residue for the people, it is enough to completely cover up the contradictions caused by the stagnant resource redistribution!
Of course, there is another similar method, namely, expand territory, transform internal contradictions into external contradictions, and use the most straightforward and quick way to plunder external wealth to balance internal contradictions. At the same time, expanding territory can also increase vital living space and survival resources.
And living space and survival resources, in other words, are land!
Just as a country in later generations known as the world police, plundered global wealth through economic means and supported it, this is its foundation on the top of the world.
Similarly, it is undeniable that the country has a solid foundation and is extremely solid!
Of course, this does not mean that the administration of that country is so clear and the resource redistribution is so clever.
Instead, the rich land of that country naturally gives the people of that country sufficient living space and survival resources.
Food is the most important thing for people. In any era, no matter how technology develops, it cannot be ignored. This is the word food.
In that country, the land is fertile and the terrain is flat. Just turning to farming can easily satisfy the food of everyone in the country, and there is a great surplus.
The abundant food brings the rapid development of the animal husbandry industry, and the prosperity of the animal husbandry industry has brought about a higher level and inevitably sufficient meat food.
Such a sufficient and abundant supply of food means that in that country, food that concerns human survival foundations will inevitably be extremely cheap, whether it is food or meat.
For a country, only half of the food produced by land can easily meet the needs of everyone in the country and have a huge surplus.
what does that mean?
It means that sufficient survival resources will infinitely cover up social contradictions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! It means that the possibility of social unrest will be reduced infinitely.
It means that the country can free up a huge amount of wealth to use it as a place.
It means that the card of food can be used to easily control the lifeline of countries with shortage of food.
This means that it is extremely difficult to affect the wealthy and sufficient cultivation of livestock industry by manipulating finance and even over-issuing currency.
The extreme stability of the word "Food" will mean the confidence to make countless tosses...
There are countless benefits, but no disadvantages.
Just like today's Daheng, if only half of the land in the country can meet the needs of all people in the country, then... the natural disasters during the Little Ice Age will be completely unfair.
That will mean that Daheng has sufficient manpower and material resources to implement various ambitions and great achievements.
As long as Daheng is given time, with Daheng's size, there is no doubt that this world will be Daheng's!
But this is obviously impossible. Although the Chinese civilization has a long history and is passed down continuously.
Although this civilization has been dominated by agriculture since ancient times, agriculture has even surpassed everything since ancient times.
But under the special terrain, this land is not a good agricultural place to look at other agricultural places in the world.
Today, nearly half of the land in Daheng World is a truly barren land.
The Western Regions and grasslands he wanted to conquer were also barren lands.
And barren land means that it is impossible to support too many people and not enough population, which means that the rule is unstable!
Therefore, since ancient times, the northern border has been war-torn. The fundamental reason is that it cannot be planted on a large scale and cannot support a sufficient population. If it can, the grassland would have long become a province in the Han area.
The first problem that any ruler faces in ruling this country is the most fundamental food problem.
Without solving this problem, the country will not be able to develop at all!
What he is facing now is this problem, and even this problem is more serious than all dynasties under the influence of the Little Ice Age!
From the Ming Dynasty to the fifth year of Zhaowu, most of the policies he implemented have been to face this problem over the years.
But it is undeniable that all his policies are to treat the symptoms but not the root cause!
Even due to the limitations of this era, it is difficult to treat the symptoms!
The grain produced by Daheng world is difficult to meet the needs of Daheng people, let alone build up a barren land and let Daheng transfusion blood.
What he can do now is to develop Jiangnan and develop maritime trade, and to suppress this issue as first as possible.
The only thing I am glad that although this era is an ignorant era, for Daheng, this is also the best era!
As long as Daheng has the strength, he can plunder the world's wealth without any worries about any interference from the external environment.
Similarly, as long as Daheng has the strength, he can unscrupulously expand his territory, open up the living space of the Han people, and increase the survival resources of the Han people.
For example, the large fertile land in Southeast Asia, the emperor has undoubtedly been coveting for a long time.
However, it is obvious that Daheng currently does not have the ability to expand territory.
Just like North Korea, until now, North Korea is still unstable. The reason is that it is only because there are too few Han people in Liao Province and the foundation of rule is not strong.
If there were hundreds of millions of Han people in Liao Province, North Korea would have been easily included in the rule.
The same is true for Southeast Asia. As soon as the southwestern border has been recovered, the southwest is unstable and does not prosper, it will be extremely difficult to form effective radiation and even effectively rule Southeast Asia.
Forced expansion of territory will only bring endless hidden dangers and even huge losses.
Therefore, for a long time in the future, Daheng can only focus on developing internally.
And the foundation of this internal development is still in agriculture and the people.
The emperor did not ask how these people were doing. He had been at the bottom for a long time, so he was naturally very clear that there would be no fish when the water was clear.
