Chapter 5712: Entering the Illusionary Ancestor (Eleven)

The ancestor sneered: "Is that the conversation we are here today? According to the so-called technology in your future generations, it can be reproduced and restored? Do you think that you have traveled thousands of years, from the future generations to the present, and came to me. Is it because of the so-called technology in your future generations, or is it done by the gods and immortals in this era with magic power?"

Liu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. He actually didn't know the answer to this question, but no matter what, he always had a strong belief that he had traveled thousands of years and came to this era. It would never be a coincidence. When he came here, he must convey enough information and complete the mission that spanned thousands of years. In other words, his time travel must be meaningful.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Old Demon, I don't know which god or what technological power made me suddenly come to this era, and I don't know why I chose an ordinary person from later generations. I am not a scientist, I don't know the technology of later generations, nor do I know the specific history of my previous life. But I have the vision and insight of later generations, but I can come to Liu Yu's powerful body. This gives me the conditions to build hegemony with my own strength in this era, and after I master the power, I can popularize the values ​​and ideas of later generations to the world. In other words, I can enlighten the wisdom of the people, let the people of this era master knowledge and culture, let them read and recognize words, understand etiquette and law, and let them all understand that there is no truth in this world that they are born to be ruled and enslaved."

The ancestor sneered: "Liu Yu, what you challenged is not technology, but human nature. There are rulers and kings in this world because people have high abilities. In ancient times, or tribal times, why did it turn out to be a tribe that was equal to everyone, and there would be leaders and people who could command all the people who did not dare to obey. Is it because someone designated it?"

"It is because some people are naturally more capable than others, and can lead everyone to survive in competition and gain an advantage, just like you, Liu Yu. Do you think you can stand out in this era by relying on these so-called memories or knowledge of later generations? What you can survive to this day is because of your superhuman body and innate divine power, rather than relying on you, the saying that everyone in the future is equal!"

"If everyone is equal, equal to the rich and poor, and equal to the noble and humble, it is not surprising. All those who rebel are all this kind of rhetoric. Since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, they have been a king, general, and minister, but so what? They rebelled not to understand and save the world, but to become king, general, and minister, all of them are like this in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, because conquering and ruling others is what all living beings want to do. As human beings, they are even more basic human nature. Liu Yu, you cannot change this."

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The leader appeared in a tribe, and then the leader led the tribe to grow and grow. Finally, the tribe settled down and became a city-state, and then became a country from the united city-states. This is the development process of mankind from ancient times to today. The emergence of the country and the division of tribes are due to the division of labor. This is the difference in personal abilities you mentioned and the difference in things you are good at, which has led to the tribes of the entire tribe no longer doing the same job. Women give birth to children and pass on the family line. Men according to their respective abilities, some farm, some collect, some fight, and some are managers to coordinate everything. If it is today, then I have martial arts and outstanding strength and can be the commander. And people like Liu Muzhi are born with government affairs talents and can manage the country and handle the government affairs. This is the division of labor."

"But this division of labor is just a difference in the work, because a person's ability has a high or low level and the work he is engaged in is different. However, this difference does not mean slavery and oppression, nor does it mean that someone can decide the life and death of others. It only takes others' lives because of his own emotions."

"Old demon, in our era, we never deny the division of labor and the level of ability. However, the different division of labor and the level of ability do not represent inequality as human beings. As the ruler who manages the country, he has different work from the most ordinary farmers. However, in social definition, they are equal people, and the ruler of the country cannot rely on the law and directly take the life of a farmer."

The ancestor said coldly: "I don't believe that there is such a country. The emergence of power comes from the level of status. If you have power in your hands, how can you be equal to people? Will the capitalists you mentioned be equal to ordinary people?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "The Western countries I mentioned in later generations are capitalists controlling everything, constitutional monarchy, real power of the king is just a trick to play. I admit that, as you said, capitalists can control their workers. They are feudal landlords and nobles of all sizes, but in the West, there is never a unified dynasty like our Central Plains. They have always had a feudal model similar to the Zhou emperor's throne, so the royal power is not strong, but the princes and lords below the princes can control the people in the territory for generations. This model has been like this for hundreds or thousands of years, so Western countries have weak royal power and the princes are strong, which is why they can carry out the capitalist revolution."

The ancestor sneered: "After these thousands of years, they are still the same as Guifang before. There is no difference. However, how could such a Western country be the opponent of the Celestial Empire? Have their gods become powerful again?"

Liu Yu said seriously: "In these Western countries, or the land of the ghost and the land of the Qin Dynasty, they have few lands and many people, and their products are insufficient. Therefore, in order to survive, they try every means to expand and obtain new land. In later generations, the development of various technologies has allowed Western countries to have a large surplus population and they do not have to engage in farming. So they have enough manpower to expand and develop outside. In addition to fighting wars, many people can also engage in industry. This industry is not what you think is handicrafts, but like the manors of aristocratic families, large groups of people conduct collective and large-scale work, or in other words, in the Qin and Han dynasties, the state and the court can organize thousands of people to make weapons and armor specifically."
