Chapter 999 Survival or Destruction
On the Central Plains, for thousands of years, history has always been in conflict with governance and chaos. One generation has established itself. At the beginning, it has always worked hard to govern, which has led to peace and prosperity in the country and peace. But soon, it began to go downhill, decline, collapse, and finally disintegration. Why? What is the fundamental reason for the disintegration and collapse of the country?" When I said this, I looked at Li Zhi who was thinking deeply.
"I'll ask my master to teach you..." Li Zhi and several princes stood up, put on their clothes, and then saluted me solemnly. This means that he hopes that I will teach, which is a great gift, but I can afford it, and I have the qualification to bear it.
It was just the simple saying just now. In the whole country, the emperor regarded the country as his private property, always regarded the country and the interests of the vast majority of people as the private property of their very few people, or became the embodiment of the will of a few people. Integrity represents that the will and interests of the people in the state system and the majority of the people are not respected in the country, and is further oppressed, and even their most basic right to survival cannot be guaranteed.
At this time, the country loses fairness, and then the people who have lost all rights and fairness will naturally lose the responsibility to continue to pay their obligations for the country, and instead start to seek another way out. Society will be in turmoil and will rise up to resist, and the result will be to overthrow the ruler's regime and establish a new dynasty.
Instead of answering them immediately, I continued to say according to my thoughts: "The previous dynasty was overthrown, and then, the establishment of the new regime started to work hard to govern, rectify the dynasty, rest with the people, and restore the seriously damaged social production, and gradually put the social order on the right track. However, because of the fundamental mistakes in the national concept, or they should be said to be incorrect in the national concept, they still regard the country as a private property of one family, rather than sharing power and resource sharing; the result is still
Is it that the majority are still deprived, oppressed, and excluded from state institutions. Since the superiors regard the country as a private property of a family, most talented people are squeezed out from the interests and management institutions of management. Over time, the wisdom hidden in the crowd cannot be exerted. The country loses creation and vitality. Corruption and darkness, human injustice, moral degradation and even people are living in poverty, and they will appear at the same time. At this time, it will be difficult to maintain this dynasty. So a new round of alternation of governance and chaos begins again..."

Li Zhi and these princes were all sitting in a dangerous position, holding their heads and listening with a respectful look. Without the proud look of the past, they had been trained by me since childhood. I told them all about these things, which were real, bloody, and naked history. They were not fools. They were all excellent princes. Their IQ was definitely not the kind of low-minded person who lived a mediocre life. Their responsibilities were even heavier than those of ordinary people, especially Li Zhi, who was the crown prince.
Did I deduce it? No. This is just a cold and must-have reality. The cycle of history has returned from the beginning to the end again and again, and seems to have no end. The consequences of this cycle are the rise, prosperity, decline and demise of the country.
"In ancient times, the state used Confucian culture and theory to unify the world. However, they ignored a fundamental problem, which was the basic survival problem of the people. It was precisely because Confucianism only talked about moral education but not people's livelihood. People's livelihood has lost its guarantee. The centralization of the state has lost control of the grassroots social system, and social order is abnormal, thieves are rising, the principles are corrupt, society moves from normal to abnormal, from order to disorder, and from health to corruption. How long can this country maintain it?"
"First point is to start with Your Majesty. Public and private matters are clear. The family and the world are two interdependent but mutually restrictive systems. Today, you take a lighter, and tomorrow you may use the money of the treasury into your treasury. Your son and grandson, when you do this, they will naturally follow the example. Then, the country becomes your own selfishness and personal property. At that time, officials will also use this as a model. They will definitely devour the interests of the country and the interests of the majority. Have you ever seen those aristocratic families that have stood for hundreds of years or even thousands of years? Do you know why they are so powerful now? It is because they rely on the favor of the superiors and follow the steps of the superiors...
By depriving the most basic survival information of the bottom-class people of society, we will become stronger. For example, land annexation and property annexation. If the highest authority in the state loses its constraints on this and allows it to develop viciously, it will intensify class contradictions and ultimately threaten national security and social stability. The state will lose the foundation of survival. This is the key."
The country has begun to rot, and the root cause of the decay is greed, social injustice has developed to the point of disregarding human lives, and the lower class cannot survive.
The degree of improper management, the highest power level effectively controls bureaucracy at all levels because the lower class does not allow the lower class to participate in the supervision of power. To achieve supervision of power, all people must participate. This not only existed when any dynasty in history declined and disintegrated, but even today, China's reforms are difficult to move forward, but also because it excludes the majority of people from participating in state management.
Most people cannot participate in state management, but are just a secret operation of a few "elites", which is the fundamental reason for social injustice. What is hidden in the bones is the private property of a few people, or the state-owned assets are converted into personal ownership in disguise.
From noon to sunset, they were listening carefully, and from time to time they picked up pens to write down something on paper. It doesn’t matter, whoever wants to remember will remember. Anyway, I need to promote these things, especially the ideas and ideas instilled in Uncle Li and Li Zhi.
In the end, my wife Cheng Luanluan and Green Butterfly Industry had appeared at the door three times. Each time, she retreated helplessly because I was still in Taotao. In the end, I felt a little hungry and finally began to summarize and speak: "Please remember that you must have a clear understanding and stand in your own position. You must understand that the country should not be the private property of a certain family, but should coordinate the interests of different classes and classes to promote harmonious coexistence.
If the state embodies fairness and justice and represents the common interests of the majority of the citizens, it should not be suppressed by one class on the other, but rather coordinate the relationship between different classes, minimize internal social distractions, and reduce conflicts of interests between them, so as to ensure the cohesion of the state on the whole, so that the state can truly become a social system recognized by the people."

Before leaving the room, Li Zhi walked at the end. After all his younger brothers left first, he grabbed my clothes and looked at me, as if he wanted to say something. I laughed and shook my head. A hint of disappointment flashed across Li Zhi's face.
I patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said warmly: "Xiaozhi, I not only regard you as a brother, but also as my future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I have always had the expectations of you far exceeding the expectations of anyone else. I hope that the Tang Dynasty will last forever, and I hope that the Li Dynasty will be like His Majesty. Think carefully about what to do... Since there are records, I have told you all the answers to past history. However, how can the Tang Dynasty stop repeating this detour, and what method is needed? This, I can answer you, but I hope that you can find the answer yourself first. You can figure it out and understand it, which is far more perfect than I tell you a hundred reasons and methods, because that is your thing, your thoughts are not something that others impose on you, do you understand?"
"I understand, thank you for your teachings." Li Zhi looked at me for a long time, and his originally disappointed expression gradually faded away. Instead, he was a kind of determination that he had never felt before, and a deep sense of gratitude.
I pressed my hand tightly on his shoulder: "Survival or destruction, the future path will be at your feet!"
He was shocked very much, deeply shocked. Li Zhi didn't leave the house the next day, and didn't know what to do in the room. In the morning, I went to knock on the door. Li Zhi, who had a haggard expression and looked extremely complicated, opened the door. He only said one sentence, and I closed the door for him. His younger brothers asked me what was wrong. I laughed with relief: "He saw a trace of hope, but he still needed to think about it before he could see the way under his feet."
