Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Di Feiwen smiled and said: "It is better to say that the empire is a loose sand. It is better to say that the stars and the sea are too vast and innocent. According to the existing technology of mankind, it is far beyond the limit of a large unified government that can effectively rule.

"My king, you should know that the reason why human civilization can be distributed in the three thousand worlds is not our own conquest, but also the 'casting' of the Pangu civilization and the Nuwa civilization. In other words, we are not 'naturally' expanding to Three thousand worlds, but with their help, were 'delivered' in a very short time.

"So, after Pangu and Nuwa's civilization collapsed, and the communication and transportation that they left behind were completely destroyed, it was normal for ‘a scatter of sand and isolation without help’. Any big government or dynasty is a special case.

"In fact, with the current level of technology and social development of human civilization, it is the limit that a central government can effectively rule up to a dozen or so large worlds. This is something that President Ding would have a deep understanding of."

"Yes."

Ding Lingzhen thought of a headache, and frowned. "In our federation, even with the advanced Xinghai jumping technology and ultra-long-distance communication capabilities, whether it is jumping or communication, it consumes a lot of resources every day. The spar with astronomical figures was sent to the Star Harbor and the ultra-long-distance communication base stations, and was wasted between the fluctuations of the psionic energy.

"Evenly, the federal resource planet for the remote stars is still too long to be effectively ruled. It is extremely difficult to implement effective rule. Many times, it has to rely on the local sects to maintain the basic order. The sectarian management system is now working well, but in time, when these sects, Who knows what happens when there are intricate relationships and deep-rooted interests in the local area?

"Furthermore, the vastness of the universe and the power of human beings have caused the environment of the inhabitable planet to change ever, and even the subspecies of human beings have changed. For example, the primitive world like the tree sea and the heavy pollution of the Netherland. In the wasteland world, the management method cannot be exactly the same. Considering different customs and customs, even unified laws are extremely difficult to achieve.

"Therefore, the current federal government has a strong regional autonomy.

"Even if more and more worlds join the federation in the future, like the ancient sacred world, because they are farther away from the core area of ​​the federation, the environment and ethnicity are more complicated, it is basically difficult to be directly governed by the central government, or the possibility of regional autonomy. Higher."

When Ding Lingfu took over the "Patriot Organization" from Lvseng, he was a staunch regional autocrat. He believed that the federation was unlikely to rely on a powerful army to rule the Xinghai, and only spread the idea of ​​the comprehension to the entire universe.

Her point of view is that it coincides with Di Feiwen.

Di Feiwen nodded: "Dr. Ding said it is good. The problem you encountered is the problem encountered by the empire. Although the empire is much stronger than the federal government in terms of comprehensive national strength, it is Xinghai jumping and ultra-long-distance communication technology. There is no essential difference.

"If the federal effective rule of the ten worlds is the limit, then the most powerful interest groups of the empire, with the most advanced technology, that is, effectively ruling twenty thousand worlds, and more, will be indigested.

"Even the strongest and cruel dinosaurs continue to grow throughout their lives, and their size is also limited. Too large empire needs to be ruled by an expanding bureaucracy and army, but the bureaucratic system and the expansion of the army will in turn The empire is sucking up and smashing, and the Xinghai Empire is like this. Isn’t this true human empire?”

Li Yao couldn't help but smile: "That is the idea to use the idea. The immortals of the empire, isn't there a lofty idea of ​​"all for human civilization?"

Di Feiwen also laughed: "The so-called "sublime concept", looking for the entire universe is an extremely rare luxury, in this respect, everyone is half a catty, that is, ‘big brother does not laugh second brother’!

"It’s like in the Xingyao Federation. Although the propaganda is called the 'knife of human civilization' in the propaganda, it has to fight for 'guarding ordinary people', but it can really be unfavorable, special and beneficial, and forget about death. How many of the self-cultivators who are selflessly dedicated to everything? My king, even if you or Ding Speaker, can you really have a little bit of lust? If you want to nationalize your Yao Shi Group now, you will be indifferent. No complaints?"

Li Yao and Ding Lingyi looked at each other and smiled. "We don't need to use big words to force us. Of course, we are not so sublime. Except for the sultans of the sacred alliance, looking at the whole universe, who can have a little bit of lust?"

"That's it."

Difei Wendao said, "In the ideal state, the battle between the federation and the empire is a battle of ideas between the 100% self-cultivator and the 100% cultivator, the battle of righteousness and evil, the battle of the avenue, but in fact, both sides There is a common enemy, not a sacred alliance, but a 'humanity'.

"The self-cultivator is human, and the immortal is also human. This is the biggest difference between us and the sacred people.

"The first element of human nature is selfishness, the genes are selfish, and they must be passed on at all costs. This 'selfish gene' conflicts with the "sublime concept" of the immortal, and the result is destined to be 'idea 'A defeated.

Li Yao asked with interest: "How do you say?"

"In theory, the concept of "the survival of the fittest, the weak meat and strong food" is no problem. As long as it can truly achieve the same principle and ensure the smoothness of the rising channel and the rigor of the elimination mechanism, it is fair, but in real life, this is I can't do it at all."

Di Fei Wendao said, "It is selfishness, whether it is a self-cultivator or a cultivator, even if it is a voice, as long as it is a weak person who cannot awaken Linggen, even if it is his own son, he will be mercilessly eliminated." How much can you really do with the heart of the stone?

"Not to mention, in a world of weak meat and strong food, everyone can betray in minutes. The true loyalty is slightly higher, that is, their relatives and children are stunned. Even if you can't wake up the roots of the 'original people', you can Arrange some hidden work, and 'kill' your own people in vain, isn't it weakening yourself, cheaper?

"The rules are determined by people. The loopholes that can be drilled are always found. Perhaps at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, this system has been strictly implemented. However, as time passes, all the giants of the giants are rapidly expanding, and they are unable to break through. Simply relying on the words 'weak meat and strong food' to achieve efficient allocation and utilization of resources is simply an idiotic dream."

Li Yaodao: "Where is the emperor, does the emperor have no opinion on this aristocracy's self-reliance, the warlord's separatist system, and the end of the situation?"

“There is no need to imagine the power of the emperor too strong. Not every emperor is the old ‘Black Star Emperor’.”

Di Fei Wendao said, "Even if the black star emperor Wu Yingqi, it must rely on a lot of entrenched giants from the era of the Xinghai Republic to seize the hegemony of the universe.

"In the depths of the empire, there is even a very secret statement that the original Black Star Emperor was just the 'spokesperson' launched by the old giants of these Xinghai Republics, in order to completely consolidate the interests of their illegal plunder, to create a The 'emperor' came out, but the emperor's ambition and strength were greatly unexpected, and some were out of control.

"The Black Star Emperor is out of control, but his son is not so strong. For thousands of years, these empire giants have released various means to provoke dissension within the royal family, create contradictions, and use the "Imperial Position" as a bait to trigger the infighting of the Wuying family. Take the opportunity to consolidate your power and overhead the entire 'extremely heavens and celestial stars'.

"Up to now, the four most powerful families have even been awarded the title of 'elected candidates'. If you think that even the emperor must choose them, how can they restrict them?"

Li Yao exclaimed: "This seems to be different from the situation of the empire that Su Changfa told me in the past."

"Su Changfa is an academic school. He is a professor at the 'Imperial Colonial University'. It is nourished by the ivory tower and naturally accepts the temptation of the empire."

Di Feiwen deeply bowed his head and said, "The subordinate is a small trader who is crawling out at the bottom of the empire. I don't know how to theoretically know what to do. The subordinates only see everything they see, the original book. speak out.

"In short, when the Black Wind Fleet left the empire a hundred years ago, the situation of the empire was like this. The dozens and twenty thousand worlds that are close to the 'extremely heavens and the celestial stars' are nominally belong to the emperor's immediate family and are directly sent by the court. Of course, there are indispensable institutions to intervene in the four major elections.

"Comparing the outer 30 to 40 worlds, it is the hereditary territory of the four electorate families. There are also some royal family seals. On average, each family rules at least seven or eight worlds. According to the strength of the power, there is only tax on the court. And the obligation to send troops, the court is difficult to intervene in their internal affairs.

"There are hundreds of thousands of worlds that are divided into more subtle worlds. Basically, every big world has a ruler. Even if there are two or three habitable planets in the world, every planet will have a ruler. These people are either hereditary aristocrats, or new warlords, or old rulers who surrendered on the road to the conquest of the universe. For example, when the Black Wind Fleet strikes, if the federal chooses to surrender, it is likely It is not the empire's heart and soul to choose a few landlords to maintain local autonomy. It is purely what Mr. Ding said just now that the whip is too long.

"The methods of rule in these peripheral worlds are ever-changing and arbitrary. They may not be harshly suppressed. Some worlds will adopt a policy of softness and gentleness. The rule of governance is mild. But if they are cruel, the cruelty of their rule is far. It is better than the world where the emperor is directly under the jurisdiction and elected by the emperor."
