Any minority group in the world that concentrates most of their wealth without giving back to the society is harmful. It does not only refer to a certain group, but also all similar groups. No matter how they get their wealth, it will basically not benefit the society.
It is difficult to avoid a large amount of wealth concentrated in the hands of a few people. Powerful people are easy to plunder and grab, and they will always guarantee to hold power because of their amazing wealth. The most direct way to change this pattern is to carry out revolution.
But, yes, At any one time, a few people concentrate most of their wealth The revolution of (resources) is just brewing another reincarnation. After the victory of the revolution, the group in power, whether they like it or not, will embark on the old road of overthrowing the object and become the group with a few but holding the vast majority of resources again. Let's call them the vested interests after the victory of the revolution.
It is impossible to make everyone rich. No matter what system is adopted, it is the inevitability of social development and has nothing to do with fairness.
Exploitation and being exploited will become eternal existence, and different classes will exist forever, which is doomed by the social structure itself.
"The group of people who hold wealth, their source of wealth is not based on plundering or exploiting their own nation. For their own nation or country, it is the most healthy way of wealth accumulation." Liu Yan said that foreign colonization takes the plundering and exploitation of other nationalities (other countries) as the main means: "it is impossible to completely avoid the plundering and exploitation of the same nation, but it can minimize the opposition within the nation."
Liu Yan will talk about this. He went on a tour again. He left Chang'an and came to guzang. The next stop will be Yangguan.
From Chang'an to guzang, a national highway is being built, and busy labor can be seen everywhere. A little different from the past, a large number of slaves from the western regions replaced the Han people who used to work. Those Han people turned to other places to participate in the construction of water conservancy projects.
The Han people re entered the western regions at the end of the eighth year of Yuanshuo. It has been nearly eight months.
At present, the Han people have regained control of Shanshan. The frontier to the west is to go deep into the west of Kucha, and to the north is to conquer the iron gate and enter the hinterland of Yanqi.
At first, the Han people entered the western regions not with the goal of attacking cities and plundering land, but for a stop loss in order to encounter natural disasters. When invading, they did not have to stare at a city to fight hard. They went wherever they could better plunder. Facts have also proved that this model is very useful for the western regions. Under the invasion of no organic system and no fixed target, the people of the western regions simply don't know where to choose to defend. They are facing attacks everywhere. Even if they want to dispatch troops for defense, they don't know where to defend.
Under the invasion with plunder as the goal, there was no fixed attack target, or even there was no comprehensive strategy and tactics. Under the beating of a random fist, Kucha was completely paralyzed, and Yanqi and Shule, two countries that can be called great powers in the western region, were also exhausted.
"We have done very well in the Indochina Peninsula and the western regions." Liu Yan is standing in guzang's city tower, overlooking a piece of yellow soil in the distance. Further away is a mountain with no name: "a group of adventurous classes have been enriched, which has done no harm to the domestic people. At the same time, we (the country) have obtained a large number of low-cost labor."
Of course, those who directly benefited from foreign plunder were those who directly participated in the plunder. They brought back the captured slaves. Although the law stipulates that they should be sold to the government first, in addition to using those slaves for various national projects, a small amount actually went to the people.
Not only the labor force, those who go out to plunder also bring back a huge amount of wealth. They pay the necessary fees when transporting wealth into the country. When wealth is brought back to their hometown, it must be for consumption. Consumption will inevitably drive production and form a series of cycles.
Xie AI witnessed the natural disaster in the northwest from beginning to end.
At the beginning, there was an unavoidable riot in the northwest, and then there were some so-called instigation and actions of the remaining evils. It should be said that the northwest was really in chaos for a while. Fortunately, it was soon suppressed and did not form a trend of erosion.
The government called on the people to go to the western regions to plunder and stop losses. At the harvest stage, various kinds of wealth were constantly transported back to the mainland, and meritorious people also won titles.
The acquisition of wealth separated the vast majority of people from the proletariat. Those who obtained the title not only changed their identity, but also obtained the land brought by the title itself. In short, they became part of vested interests.
"With wealth, they try their best to get food, although not much..." Xie AI's most emotion is: "those who get titles will not allow anyone to destroy their current life, and they are very active in cooperating with the government."
That is inevitable. They have become part of vested interests, and anything harmful to them will be excluded. The so-called harmful, of course, refers to any act that wants to overthrow Liu Yan's rule. After they become knights, whether it is the change of identity or related privileges, is it not based on Liu Yan's rule of the country?
Liu Yan has been absorbing more people to become vested interests, but it is difficult to do more under some "rules".
Only when more people enjoy the dividends from the ruling class will the country be more stable. Liu Yan now desperately needs stability. It is this factor that comes to the northwest.
The construction of the first batch of projects in new Chang'an has entered the final stage. Seeing the last moment of becoming emperor, Liu Yan'an's patrol will be the last time to patrol the place as a "King". After becoming emperor, unless it is a special need, it is difficult to go out again.
Liu Yan will visit the northwest first. One of the purposes is to intimidate those who refuse to obey. The purpose of appeasing the place is more clear. When he came to Yangguan, he followed the ancient system and welcomed the war meteors as a king. Naturally, he would not be all the war dead, but some war dead with great credit or reputation. He affirmed the pay of the army and the people with the most obvious attitude and encouraged the army and the people to make persistent efforts.
After visiting the northwest, including Yangguan, you will take the route of grassland, first take the route of Junji mountain, then enter Rouran mountain, patrol more than half of the grassland along the front line where the Han army is stationed, then enter Northern Xinjiang from Yanmenguan, then go to Eastern Liaoning, walk around the developing northeast, and finally take a boat from the peninsula to the south, and land in Jingkou, Then take the Jiankang Tongguan National Road under construction and return to Guanzhong.
It is estimated that the whole inspection will take about a year. Naturally, Liu Yan will take some of the three gongs and nine Qings, and let his eldest son Liu Shen stay in new Chang'an for the first time to shoulder the heavy task of supervising the country.
Liu Shen is eight years old and has received enlightenment education.
In the eighth year of Yuanshuo, Liu Yan appointed Prime Minister Ji Chang to be Liu Shen's teacher, and assigned some doctors to teach knowledge.
Royal education has a process since ancient times. It is usually initiated at the age of about three. The enlightenment stage is about one to two years. Then, according to which school the dynasty advocated at that time, it is appointed to be proficient in that knowledge... Such as "Dr. Shangshu" to teach Shangshu. If you are selected as an heir, you must learn Zhou Li, spring and autumn and Shang Jun Shu, while the rest of the royal family do not need to learn the above three books.
Liu Shen's becoming a prison state is considered to be a signal, that is, Liu Yan finally said that he wanted to establish a prince, which greatly boosted the morale of all his ministers and families. At the same time, it also means that the whole country is excited.
That's a very simple truth. Zhuxia stressed that the country should not be without a monarch for a day. They also attached importance to the fact that the country should not be without a reserve monarch for a day. That was a connecting concept at work. To put it simply, contemporary people already know who to be loyal to, but they still need to be loyal to when they are loyal to contemporary kings. They believe that clarifying the existence of successors will avoid unnecessary political risks.
Those who hope for national stability are certainly happy to have a clear prince. There is no lack of Prince contention in history. Then, each official stands in line. If he chooses the right one, he may not prosper. If he chooses the wrong one, he is lucky to be exiled. If he chooses the wrong one, he will die directly.
Because the princes competed for the throne, there were also examples of the country entering the civil war. In particular, the "attack of the eight kings" in the Western Jin Dynasty had the greatest impact. Anyway, no one in the Han country wanted to see the reoccurrence of alien slavery due to the civil war.
Liu Shen oversees the country. He is an eight year old child... Even if the children are precocious now, especially the children of the ruling family, it is a joke to say that he can govern the country. He stayed in the new Chang'an. What he was really doing was Prime Minister Ji Chang and other important officials. What the officials could not decide would be sent to Liu Yan quickly.
The northwest is the territory of the Han family where the drought first broke out. Over the past year, a large number of plants died due to lack of water. Although the earth is not dry everywhere, most places are really yellow, and it is very easy to dust if the wind is a little strong.
"The number of people going to the western regions is still increasing. We encourage people to settle in Shanshan." Xie AI did not report on his behalf. He was later appointed with relevant powers: "in addition to the western regions, we are still arranging people to enter the area named Qinghai."
The Han people are wreaking havoc in the western regions, and Tuyuhun, a neighbor in the south of the western regions, is also a tragedy. In particular, on the premise that they sent envoys to the Han state without recognition, it means that the Han state does not recognize the existence of Tuyuhun at all. Even if the state does not recognize it, can it expect to be treated kindly by the Han Congress?
Liu Yan asked, "what is the population of Northwest China now?"
It's hard for Xie AI. The current population flow in the northwest is an unprecedented peak. People are going out of the northwest all the time, and people from the rest of the Han country enter the northwest every day. Only those from the rest of the Han country go to the western region through the northwest, which makes it impossible to count how many people there are in the northwest.
Liu Yan also knew the difficulties, so he added, "how much is it?"
"Your Majesty, it should be about 400000?" After Xie AI's answer, there was infinite emotion. People's infinite attraction to wealth, fame and wealth led to the outward flow of population. On the one hand, on the other hand, did they not go or wait for death? He hesitated and asked, "the people who moved out are encouraged to settle in place. After the disaster year..."
"People will not migrate from other places to the northwest." Liu Yan gave a positive answer. He really felt that it would be better to have fewer settled people in the northwest. Time would increase the population here, but he must not migrate the population: "the prime minister's office will adjust the land policy according to the local needs."
Xie AI actually has a lot to say. For example, the northwest is close to the western regions. If there are too few people, it will be bad for controlling the western regions. But first, he is not three gongs and nine Qings, and he is not qualified to intervene in some national policies. Second, he does not understand Liu Yan's specific ideas.
Liu Yan doesn't have any special ideas. It's just that the environment in the northwest plays an important role in the whole country. It's obvious that once the northwest becomes bare, the Yellow River should really be "yellow".
At present, the Yellow River is not called the Yellow River. It is called a big river because of course it has not "turned yellow". It should be said that the river is still very clear.
Liu Yan doesn't want the environment to deteriorate due to excessive population in the northwest. It's not groundless. In fact, the northwest is really not a good agricultural area, and even grazing should be controlled.
Han has been doing the migration of people. At present, the top priority is to fill the land of Jingchu, the Northeast Plain and the Indochina Peninsula. Among these three places, Jingchu will be the largest grain producing area in the hinterland of the cost soil, the Northeast Plain is the largest grain producing area in the north, and the Indochina Peninsula has a long way to go to become "local".
Xie AI made a panic attitude because of Liu Yan's explanation. He is now in charge of the imperial historian Zhongcheng. The country's supreme ruler personally explains the country's core policies. Even the prime minister dare not take it for granted.
Liu Yan stayed in guzang for three days. The background of setting out for Yangguan is that dozens of heads are hung on the head of guzang city.
Originally, there was no blood in the king's tour. Every place he went was to cut off unstable elements, including some who deliberately wanted to rebel, and some corrupt officials. Liu Yan can "distinguish between the enemy and himself". Killing people will never be wrong.
The authority of the ruler is based on blood. Liu Yan has long been used to this phenomenon. He went to Yangguan to demonstrate another function of the ruler, that is, the responsibility of being a patriarch.
The ceremony to welcome the meteorites was very formal and solemn, because relevant preparations had been made in advance, and it was carried out the next day after Liu Yan's arrival.
The whole patrol team spent three days in Yangguan, and then went to the grassland.
Liu Yan did not arrange Xie AI to accompany him. Before leaving, he had a conversation with Xie AI about Rouran tribal alliance. He doesn't patrol the grassland secretly. He will meet a lot of people, including Rouran Khan yujiulu Bati.
