Chapter 255

"Can you speculate on the cause of the outbreak of civil strife?" Ganyaduo paused for a moment and looked leisurely at Zhang Yuan.

It has seen part of the development of mankind, and the number of wars is much more than that of the Gliese. History is also much more complex than the Gliese.

Zhang Yuan pondered and calculated carefully, and tasted the historical inevitability.

He said: "I think there are many reasons, but the main reason is that the management system, ideology, especially the distribution system, can not keep up with the sudden productivity."

"Yes, it is."

Preliminary electrification means that nuclear power can be used to generate electricity and produce various substances, but it does not mean that resources have been produced. This is the stone age. Under the condition of poverty, there are too many things to produce.

There is a problem of who gets rich first and who gets rich later.

No matter how powerful the universal factory is, there are only 13. As a powerful 3D printer, even if the production capacity is very strong, it is certainly not cost-effective to directly produce living materials.

The best way is to use a universal factory to produce all kinds of machines to cooperate with the expansion of production, so as to greatly improve productivity.

Therefore, it is impossible to produce the material resources needed by all Gliese people at once, and it is impossible to realize a prosperous modern life for the whole people at once.

However, in some personal selfishness, the productivity of the universal factory is not all used to produce means of production. Some dignitaries and nobles have taken the lead in enjoying life in the electric age.

There is a huge contrast.

You know... It was the stone age. Many Gliese were still eating grass in the fields!

Originally, there was widespread poverty and low productivity. No matter how rich the rich were, there was only that. Moreover, under the social public support system, wealth is accumulated in the unit of clan, which is equivalent to an alternative collective economy. Once an individual dies old, this part of wealth will be released to the society or his own clan. Therefore, the gap between the rich and the poor between individuals is not particularly large.

The rich can only secretly raise a few illegitimate children and inherit their small amount of wealth. Members of the clan turn a blind eye to this phenomenon. Who makes them able to make money?

As for the way of entertainment, high IQ people play math and other elegant things, and ordinary people do some carving, painting and singing... Anyway, everyone plays his own game and does not interfere with each other.

But now it's different

The gap between the stone age and the electric age is a little too big to be described as earth shaking. New lifestyle, entertainment, new food, clothing, residence, clothing, food, housing and transportation have all undergone new changes!

Such a change also means that the previously tolerable gap between the rich and the poor has suddenly changed dramatically!

At the beginning of these new material resources, only a small number of people must be able to enjoy them, and there is no way to popularize them in an all-round way. Therefore, the original population with low social status suddenly had an extremely unbalanced mentality.

Zhang Yuan gently tapped his finger: "I understand. It's because the huge gap between the rich and the poor brought by the universal factory has accumulated energy for civil strife. Well, the gap between the rich and the poor in the stone age and the electric age is a little too large. "

There is a gap between the rich and the poor within a civilization, which itself is very normal, because there is a gap between the abilities of individuals, and there is no way to live worse than others.

However, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, the more likely it is to produce unrest.

Because of the emergence of the universal factory, in just two or three years, the "Gini index" of Gliese civilization suddenly soared to the sky. Naturally, it is not tolerated by the people at the bottom.

Although Gliese are idle and free, it does not mean that they have no desire. Under the impact of massive material resources, everyone is ready to move. No one wants to continue the life of the primitive era, even one day later

When people are ready to move, the control ability of the government departments that were not very strong has decreased significantly, and their binding force on the citizens is becoming smaller and smaller. Even the managers themselves are at a loss and in a state of internal chaos under this huge impact.

In addition to the gap between the rich and the poor, there is also the second internal reason. The original economic system dominated by handicraft industry began to appear extremely untimely, and a lot of confusion was caused by various economic policies and cultures.

For a simple example, the commodities on the original market were limited to primary commodities such as grain, bone tools and handicrafts, with relatively low added value. Many civilians rely on manual production of these commodities for a living, which has been very stable for tens of thousands of years.

The products produced from the universal factory have high added value. In this stone age, the added value of a car should even be so high that no one can afford it!

The impact of a large number of new products leads everyone to want to buy the latest products.

The price of the original goods fell sharply, and low-value goods could not be sold at all. The confusion of monetary policy soon led to deflation and complete paralysis of the economy.

The collapse of the economy led to some handicraft businessmen losing money and began to be unable to support themselves.

With the development of science and technology, there are people who can't support themselves. This phenomenon is unimaginable but natural. After all, the quality and working ability of the vast majority of ordinary people are still in the stone age, and there is no way to keep up with the trend of the times. They can only do so little simple handicraft work. Now the handicraft industry is suddenly worthless and directly unemployed.

At that time, the government did not have enough experience and organizational ability to deal with this economic crisis. The response was always slow, leading to the growing crisis.

These managers have no such economics in mind, and they don't know why there are more and more poor people.

This group of unemployed poor people either leave the city and continue to live a primitive life

Or... Realize your demands through violence!

"These two reasons are like two springs. The tighter they are pressed, the greater the force will burst out." Zhang Yuan sighed and looked at the white ceiling, meditating, meditating

Unfortunately, the interstellar civilization only taught them some scientific knowledge, but there is no knowledge about the system... Even if the Gliese are smart and have not experienced it, they can't know anything about it, let alone react.

The development of civilization has never been achieved overnight. With the development of science and technology, only external skills have been improved by leaps and bounds. Without the support of internal skills, it is equivalent to just a hollow tree. It looks tall and powerful. In fact, it falls down as soon as it is touched, or even directly.
