2729 National Sports and Ancestral Family Law!
What is the future of the Chinese people that Xiao Letian is striving to be like? Or what is the fundamental national system of the Chinese people in the future? This is a super complex question, and its difficulty is far beyond the imagination of people in this era.
The opening of a country or a dynasty must be accompanied by various ideas of governing the country, and these ideas will definitely turn into national affairs and into various visible and tangible laws and reward and punishment systems around the people.
Thoughts are always full of competition, including militarism, mercantilism, free trade, imperialism, divine authority of the monarchy, Confucian legal system... all kinds of thoughts believe that their own way of governing the country is absolutely correct.
In various contradictions and conflicts, different countries and ethnic groups have chosen their own unique governance concepts!
Some are biased in literature, some are martial, some are businessman, some are wealthy, and some are god... There are countless numbers of them!
But it is undeniable that any country in this era has its own inherent development ideas, and this kind of thinking is dominant and continues to influence the country's political ecology.
For example, Britain now believes in colonial thought under mercantilism. All his governance is to serve this great national policy, even the glorious revolution and his constitutional monarchy, which also serve this great idea.
The Qing Empire still chose the Confucian concept of governing the country, which was a closed and mature political system that completely served the agricultural civilization... It is worth mentioning here that Confucian governance is not negative, nor is it as unbearable as the attacks of later generations.
The Confucian concept of governing the country is actually a very targeted idea that emerged to adapt to the agricultural civilization!
This concept of governing the country is very suitable for the social and economic environment of agricultural civilization, which is an important guarantee for the ancient China to be at the top of the world.
Later, the Confucian concept of governing the country was no longer good. That was because the world environment had changed. Human beings began a new era of global trade. Commercial and trade civilization began to replace agricultural civilization, which made Confucian idea of governing the country inappropriate.
Xiao Letian is very clear that there is nothing right or wrong in thinking itself. Only when you make appropriate choices of thinking at the right time is the real kingdom!
This concept is actually not new in the 21st century, but at the end of the 19th century, this concept was rarely mentioned because the traditional power of various countries was too powerful.
The European aristocrats and monopoly capitalists, the Qing Dynasty's royal family, the Eight Banners and the Confucian landlord class... These people can easily control people's hearts and continuously gain benefits through an inherent ideological system, so they will never take the initiative to change their thoughts.
What exactly is this kind of dominant idea? In fact, Confucian scholars have already described it very appropriately, that is the national system! And the Eight Banners of the royal family also described it very bluntly, that is the family law of the ancestors!
How can the national system change easily?
How can the ancestral family laws be modified?
Looking at the ancient history of mankind, all dynasties have this problem. The ancestral family rules formulated by Taizu did not change much until the dynasty perished.
Perhaps there are some changes in the details, but the theme will never change. In the eyes of many people, once the national system and the family laws of the ancestors change, it means the country’s demise!
If there is a major change in the idea of governing the country, it means that the traditional vested interest class will be replaced by emerging powerful people. This is an unprecedented shift in interests, and great social turmoil is inevitable!
No one dares to do such a move. Even if they see the old traditions full of all kinds of unreasonableness, people will not change. Almost few of them who try to change have a good ending!
The fate of the dynasty! Many dynasties finally destroyed their country under the control of this stubborn and conservative idea!
To the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters, foreign invasions, and national treasury exhaustion... The destruction of the country has appeared, but no one dared to open a ban on the sea!
It is obvious that opening more than a dozen ports can solve the dynasty's financial crisis, but it cannot be opened until death. The reasons here are very complicated.
But the most important one is the constraints of the national system and the ancestral family laws!
Do you dare to reform? If you reform, you will be the unfilial sons and grandchildren of Taizu, and you will not be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! That's what the Confucian scholars said!
A bloody lesson was right in front of him. Xiao Letian could not think or study it. He also wanted to think about what the last national system of the Chinese people should be? Will someone carry his urn after he dies and yell that this is the family law of the ancestors?
Maybe all the governance I, Xiao Letian, are correct now, but who can guarantee that it will be correct in fifty years? What about a hundred years?
Where can I always have correct ideas in the world? Because the environment is changing!
What exactly does the Chinese people created by Xiao Letian look like? Which kind of ideas prevail? This question is not easy to answer.
However, the Chinese people now have the prototype of a capitalist federal state, including the Far East, Borneo, Ryukyu Islands, and the fortress special zones that were cut out in the Qing Dynasty later.
These are all wealth and goods suitable for the development of capitalism. Moreover, because the geographical locations are scattered, the people's sentiments and environment are also different, they can choose their own governance routes.
As long as they all recognize the Chinese as the common ruler, pay the rights of military power, diplomacy and education, and accept the capital control of the Chinese central bank in a unified manner, this is enough, they can freely develop the economy and people's livelihood!
At present, this model has begun to take shape, and the people, especially the newly emerging capitalist forces in China, have already accepted this idea.
Capital is developed, business is prosperous, people's livelihood is prosperous... Everything seems to be thriving, everything seems to be so beautiful!
But is there really no hidden dangers under this kind of prosperity? Xiao Letian has been a human being for two lifetimes. Of course, he knows that things in the world are unpredictable, so there are not so many certain rules!
Any thoughts and classes were prosperous at the beginning of their rise, and all contradictions were acceptable for the simple and kind hearts of the people.
But time can change everything. Since the Chinese have chosen a capitalist federal system, the power of capitalists will naturally get the most rights.
This group is a tiger. Once the capitalists put away the mask of kindness from the beginning, they will not vomit bones when they eat people!
What is imperialism? To put it bluntly, imperialism is an evolutionary version of capitalism! Monopoly capitalism will naturally evolve into imperialism.
And war is the best way to maintain a monopoly economy!
It can be predicted that within fifty years after Xiao Letian's death, the Chinese army will soon be penetrated by monopoly capitalists, and then the people who control the army will definitely be these powerful and rich people.
Once this large number of people control the wealth and military power of the Chinese people, it is hard to say what will happen later!
