Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 860 Thought Curve
Chen Yuyi sat in the carriage and looked out the window.The weather in the Central Plains in March is already pink and willow green, and spring has come to an end.There are busy farmers planting seeds in the fields, planting their hopes for a year.

In the past two years, due to the promotion of tofu and soybean oil, soybean prices have risen rapidly.Many farmers cut back on wheat and switched to soybeans.Especially in the Central Plains, due to the rapid promotion of technology, more crops have been replanted.

After the carriage passed Dengfeng, there were fewer and fewer farmlands on both sides, and there were big mountains.Chen Yuyi stopped looking out the window, and leaned back in his chair to think about his thoughts.

Although it has been mentioned many times before, this time Wang Xiaolie clearly stated that the government should govern society according to the statistical laws of society.The perspective of observing society is different, and the governance methods are of course very different.How to govern needs to be slowly explored by officials at all levels.

Wang Xiaolie has always been worried that observing and governing the society in this way can easily make officials forget that they are real people and lose their humanity.This is inevitable when all the data in front of you are social statistics rather than individual stories.Officials cannot do this. They must first understand the meaning of statistics and manage people as if they were one.

It's easy to say, how many people can do it?

Chen Yuyi shook his head.Now I am myself, and I often can't figure out this problem, so how can I ask officials to do this?
Before going to Xinzheng, Wang Xiaolie made it very clear that the master must stay there and give appropriate rewards.Officials who disagree with him will be punished and all transferred away, telling people the will of Xuan Fusi.The higher-level state officials and those involved in this matter are also subject to punishment.

Transfer all Xinzheng officials away, who will take over?Will the officials who take over do better than the original officials?Chen Yuyi only felt a headache.

People often think that when you go back to ancient times, you have modern memories, so what is so difficult about doing things?According to modern copying, it is much better than ancient times. Is society progressive?Some people even think that textbooks tell you that capitalism is more advanced than feudal society, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Everything must be combined with practice and cannot be divorced from reality.The ancient ones are not good, and the modern ones may not be good either, and copying most of them will cause confusion.Capitalism and feudalism is a European story, not suitable for other regions, certainly not copied.

According to European stories, some people think that feudalism must be abolished first, and a capitalist country should be established.They even think that the initial stage of capitalism, of course, requires bloody exploitation, and the state must support this kind of exploitation.

It is wrong to think like this, human society cannot be compared in such a simple way.

The evolution of human beings from primitive society to slave society, to feudal society, and finally to capitalist society is a European story, not a story in other regions.There is no other region in the world that follows this stage.All countries learn from the capitalist society. Rather than saying that this is an inevitable stage of human development, it is better to say that Europe and the United States are too strong and learn from strong countries.

What stages do humans go through?There is a high probability that the primitive society existed, and the subsequent slave society is doubtful, and the feudal society existed, and the subsequent capitalist society is doubtful.If we put it another way, human beings have gone from the division of feudalism and the founding of the country to the great unification, so why not?
Much of our knowledge is taught to us by others.Many people cannot learn the knowledge taught, some people can learn a small part, some people can learn most of it, some people can learn all of it, and some people can break through on the basis of these knowledge, it is a curve .Everyone's position on this curve may change through personal efforts and hard work.The shape of this curve may also change due to social governance reasons.But this curve will definitely exist.It is impossible to think that everyone is the same.

In physics, people often praise the contributions of Newton and Einstein.If you regard the development of physics as a curve, you will find that most people are in the middle of the curve, and there are only these two people at the top.

If it is not physics, but social thought, it will probably conform to this distribution.The vast majority of people will be distributed at a relatively low level, and the closer to the correct thinking in the middle, the fewer people there will be.And those who can really find the right thoughts are rare.

Wang Xiaolie used to be very afraid that he was at a lower level without knowing it, so he worked cautiously and tried his best.When I finally figured things out, and looked at other people's opinions, I felt like a primary school student, and only then did I realize that I had really made a breakthrough.

If you traveled back to ancient times, what would you do right?Putting this issue, we can see many problems.

It is believed that since returning to the feudal society, of course capitalism must be developed first.You think so, and so do many people.This kind of thinking is not sought after because it is correct, but because it conforms to the thinking of most people.And the thinking is very strange. Most people feel itchy when they see something that fits their own thinking.

Going back to ancient China does not mean returning to the feudal society, nor does it have the social soil of the European Middle Ages.There was no feudal aristocracy, no nearly autonomous urban industrialists and businessmen, and of course there was no fierce conflict between industrialists and feudal aristocrats.

It is wrong to forcibly compare the gentry landlords with the feudal lords, and it is also wrong to forcibly compare Chinese industrialists and merchants with those in European cities and towns.The development of productive forces will of course promote changes in social relations, but such changes will never be similar to those in Europe.

The analogy will be forced because the author's position is not high in the curve of thought.I can't recognize the difference between the East and the West, and I can't imagine what kind of changes this difference will bring.If you are in this state and still think that you are correct, your position on the thought curve will be lower.

The reason for this kind of thinking is, of course, that copying the answers is relatively simple, and it may not be so easy to pursue the correctness.What's more, being right isn't all that attractive.Because there are few people who recognize you, and even fewer people agree with you.

It is much simpler to copy the West.More specific methods, such as copying guns and artillery, copying the chief of staff, and copying Western tactics, will make you invincible in one go, and the same is true.There is no problem with copying, but you must copy correctly.

What's more terrible is that some technologies have not been understood, and they feel that they can kill the Quartet.

For example, the heavy cavalry in Europe thought that with heavy cavalry, they would kill the Quartet.Due to the different social relations and the combination of technological level in China, there will not be battles in the Middle Ages in Europe.For example, during the Song and Song Dynasties, the most commonly used weapons against cavalry were big axes and Mazha knives, which mainly attacked horse legs.The so-called heavy cavalry charge will not actually happen, and the discussion is not very meaningful.

For example, a four-wheeled carriage is considered to have a larger load.In fact, due to the difference between Eastern and Western harnesses, the situation is quite the opposite.The four-wheeled carriage only does not bump when carrying people, and the load is smaller than that of a two-wheeled carriage.

For example, horse-drawn trains are considered advanced means of transportation.In fact, this is only useful on flat terrain, once the uphill and downhill, the effect is greatly reduced.The friction of the train is small, and when encountering an uphill, it will greatly increase the difficulty of going uphill.We have learned Zhan Tianyou's herringbone railway, so we should understand this truth.

There are many examples like this, basically they are obsessed with the West and think that everything is advanced.If you can copy it, you can surprise everyone.

In ancient China, most of the time was ahead in culture, and those cultural people were the world's top scholars at that time.In modern China, I think that culture lags behind the West, and the cultural people of this era are scumbags of world studies.When the scumbags criticize the bullies, they often miss the point, but they are still extremely confident.

Only by correctly understanding one's own position on the thought curve and which interval are you in can you correctly understand the world.If you can't correctly understand your own position on the thought curve, you will be blindly arrogant and feel that you are the number one in the world.People who don't know me well, just scold a stupid B when they go up.
