Chapter 630 The Republic and the Emperor ([-])

"Human desires are unlimited, but the resources we can control are limited. How can we succeed in satisfying unlimited desires with limited resources?"

"As for the people you mentioned, Gu has never seen any people, only people and people."

Yan Ming rejected all the good policies proposed by Princess Zhen to check the population of the land, implement the land equalization system, and release all slaves.

"Not to mention what you mentioned, it is impossible to realize it. Even if it can be realized, the parliament will not pass it."

"Your father and I, although my ability is mediocre, I also know the most basic principles. People are unpredictable, and the people will not appreciate the savior. The real savior will only end in a miserable end."

"Suppose you have five loaves, and each loaf can just fill the stomach of a hungry person, and there are ten hungry people in front of you, how would you distribute them?"

Facing Yan Junming's rhetorical question, Princess Yan replied: "Each piece of cake is divided into two portions, and each person can eat half of it. In this way, everyone can hardly starve to death, and in this way, the maximum number of people can be saved."

"Stupid!" Yan Ming scolded coldly: "Everyone eats half portion, then everyone can't fill their stomachs. In the end, ten of them will resent you, thinking that you didn't let them eat enough, and then unite to rebel and overthrow you !"

In Yan Gongzhuzhen's puzzled eyes, Yan Ming explained: "The real and correct way is to hide the four cakes and distribute the last cake to three people. Then, the other seven people will fight with the three people in order to survive." Individuals fight for each other, and you, with the attitude of a sage and an enlightened ruler, and a gesture of caring for the people of the world, call on those three people to share a little bit with the other seven people. In this way, ten of them will fight endlessly, As for you, you can stay out of the matter and won't provoke the wrath of the people in the world, and at the same time, because of your attitude of caring for the people, you will be praised by the people as a wise king, and let the unscrupulous people sing praises to you!"

"This is the art of domination!"

Yan Junming's words made Princess Zhen ponder, but she still couldn't accept it in the end.

"Humans are not machines, and they will resist." Princess Zhen retorted: "If benevolence and righteousness are not applied, the offensive and defensive forces will be different!"

"Of course people are not machines. Of course they will resist, but they are selfish and blind. Their resistance is burning, killing, looting, and hurting the bottom people like them."

"Without proper guidance, their so-called resistance will eventually turn into smashing, looting and burning, and will be hated by other people who want to live in peace."

"As for the correct guidance, it is impossible to exist at all, because the people have never resisted injustice, but the object of resistance to injustice is themselves. If they are unfair to others, not only will they not resist, but they will also strongly support it!"

"As long as the rebel leaders are given high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and a small group of rebels are allowed to share part of the ruling interests and divide them, they will naturally fight among themselves."

"Moreover, the purpose of their rebellion from the very beginning was to turn themselves from a subordinate to a superior. Those who really want to realize their so-called ideals will instead become a stumbling block for most of them and be scolded and abandoned by them!"

"I don't know who bewitched you to have so many strange thoughts, but your thoughts are very naive, you are the princess of Yan Kingdom, and you have a chance to become Lord Yan in the future, how can you betray your own family? "

"Zhen'er, I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts you have made for your father."

"Instances time and time again in history have proved to us that unscrupulous people are nothing but things that cannot be supported by mud!"

"In this world, no one has ever really resisted injustice, but there are many people who resist injustice against themselves."

"Do slaves really hate slavery? If they become slave owners, I'm afraid they will only raise their hands to support slavery!"

"The princes and generals, Ning has a kind! Look, even famous rebels like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, they are not against the princes and generals, but against the princes and generals. Why can't they be themselves?"

"Everyone scolds princes and generals, and everyone wants to be princes and generals!"

"Several plantation owners on the Spice Islands were killed by slaves, and the slaves there divided up the plantations. I decided to let you suppress those rebellious slaves, so that you can understand the cruelty of this world."

Yanming decides to train Princess Zhen to save her from always having unrealistic fantasies about saving the world.

After all, he also reminded: "Remember, those rebel slaves must be killed completely! The court must not tolerate the rebels! Once other slaves see that the court has let the rebel slaves go, then they will There will be a fluke mentality, and they will rebel along with the booing!"

"The knife must be overfire, the grass must be over the spear, and the person must be changed. Only by killing cleanly can the unruly people be deterred, so that the unreasonable people dare not resist!"

"Baby... I understand." Princess Zhen didn't say anything more, but she had her own thoughts in her heart.

It's not that Yanming's rule is special and must be killed. It's just that all regimes are like this, and Yan is no exception. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han court used the same method against the Yellow Turban Army.

Huangfusong massacred 30 Yellow Turbans who had surrendered, and used their heads to build a capital.

Emperor Han Ling also specially ordered that as long as it is the Yellow Turban Army, they will be killed regardless. Even if they surrender, they must kill their whole family, young and old, so that other troublemakers who secretly want to rebel can see the cruelty of the court, so that other troublemakers dare not rebel.

Since ancient times, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, rulers have exhausted all means to maintain their rule. They have lost the world, never because of kindness, but because they are already rotten and completely hopeless. Even the most cruel means are used After coming out, the country still cannot be saved.

Since Yan followed the example of the Central Plains and restored corvee and poll tax, various uprisings have become more and more frequent.

Regarding this situation, the reply of the noble council is, kill!

After death, people can be regenerated and introduced again, but the rule of the Wang family must not be subverted!
The miserable herdsmen on the grassland lined up to become Yan people, and they dreamed of being exploited and enslaved by the Yan family.

It's just that their nobles don't let them go to the country of Yan. After all, they are the property of the nobles, so they can't be lost to the country of Yan in vain.

One more you is not much, and one less you is not much. After you die, new immigrants will naturally enter Yan State to replace your work and continue to shine for Yan State.

"Of course my father knows the truth that water can carry a boat and capsize it, but it depends on what kind of water it is. Even a small wave wants to capsize the boat. It's ridiculous!"

"If you dare not sit on a boat because of a small wave, what is the rule?"

"Wise rulers will control the waves of the water within a small range, such as Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Han Jing, but stupid rulers will make the waves as terrifying as waves, and they will be destroyed in the end, such as Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. "

However, Princess Zhen obviously didn't listen to her father Yan Ming's words, she still firmly believed in her ideas, and the father and daughter, in such a state of disagreement, began to intrigue.

"There are so many fields in the country of Yan. If they are distributed equally to each commoner, each commoner can get more than [-] mu. The per capita farmland is much higher than that in the Central Plains. How could it be insufficient? My father is deliberately fooling me. !"

"Father, and all the nobles, I will let you understand the power of the people!"
