Chapter 052 In ancient times, the so-called prosperous age was just the law of demographic dividend.
"Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, this principle is true everywhere."
Zhao Long smiled and said, "Quantitative change determines qualitative change. This principle is also very feasible."
kindness?
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, "What do you mean by this?"
Are these words a response to the inquiry I just made?
How do you feel, it doesn’t seem to be the same thing?
"Old Zhao, you just said that Qin Shihuang may not need to choose talents from elsewhere, instead of just using talents from Lao Qin's powerful people, right?"
"Yes..."
Ying Zheng listened and nodded slowly.
"Then the problem arises."
Zhao Long said, "Doing this will cause relatively small disadvantages at the beginning, and then, this small disadvantage will become larger and larger until it subverts the original advantages!"
"How can I see it?"
"It's simple..."
Zhao Long smiled and pointed at the two villagers disguised as soldiers in front of him, "Look at these two brothers, who is taller?"
kindness?
After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and then looked away.
The two soldiers in front seemed to be about the same height. After all, Great Qin's selection of soldiers was not based on who you wanted to be, but rather based on certain physical standards.
"Of course, the left side is slightly higher."
Ying Zheng pointed, but felt puzzled in his heart.
"Sir, why do you ask this question?"
"Hey, don't worry..."
Zhao Long laughed, and then made a gesture with his hands, "What if it's one of these five people?"
kindness?
Seeing Zhao Long's actions, Ying Zheng was stunned again.
Five people?
He looked at it intently, then smiled and said, "Of course it's him..."
As he spoke, he pointed at another person.
"Okay, what if it's these ten people?"
Uh...huh?
What am I?
Seeing Zhao Long draw another circle and point at some people, Ying Zheng was immediately speechless.
Zhao Long, what exactly are you going to say?
"Is it him?"
Ying Zheng pointed at one of them and asked in confusion.
"Well, what if there are twenty of us?"
Zhao Long smiled and stretched out his hand to draw a circle.
"..."
At this time, Ying Zheng was completely impatient and couldn't help but said, "Of course it's Meng Tian! Sir, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Haha, Lao Zhao, don't be anxious!"
Zhao Long smiled and said, "What I want to say is that if the basic goals and scope of your selection are different, will the results be the same? What if these are not their heights, but their abilities and talents?
If you only choose from some of them, but not all of them, is that a good thing or a bad thing for you?"
Hiss?
After hearing what Zhao Long said, Ying Zheng understood what he meant.
"Sir, what you mean is..."
"Just imagine, if Qin Shihuang only made his choice based on the old Qin dignitaries, he would be abandoning countless people and talents in the world. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the Qin Dynasty?"
"this……"
After Ying Zheng heard this, he thought deeply for a while.
"Hehe...hehe..."
On the side, Li Si couldn't help but sneered when he saw this, "Sir, this statement seems reasonable, but is it actually wrong?"
"Fourth brother, what can you tell me? Let's talk freely. Are three cobblers better than Zhuge Liang?"
After hearing what Li Si said, Zhao Long smiled and didn't take it seriously.
"Li Si, please tell me."
"promise!"
Li Si bowed and said, "Wei...why does Li Si think what Mr. Zhao said is a fallacy? It's because what the village chief said just now is more reasonable! It is wrong for a court to seek to advance rather than maintain stability!"
When King Shang enacted the reform, Da Qin had to do it because of its difficult situation. After Da Qin unified the six kingdoms, Da Qin did not face the dilemma of Mingzi, so why was it so eager to change?
King Chu Mourning appointed Wu Qi, failed to implement reforms, and harmed the country's foundation. This is a vivid example! Not seeking stability, but seeking chaos, this is not a good thing for a Qin Dynasty that has just unified the world for a few years!
At least...at least for a hundred years, you are not allowed to do this! The best thing to do next is to wait and see!"
"Haha... what the fourth child said makes sense. Let me go. I didn't expect you to know how to debate?"
After Zhao Long heard this, he immediately smiled and said with some admiration.
What am I?
I am also a prime minister after all!
After hearing this, Li Si couldn't help but have a dark look on his face, thinking to himself, Prime Minister, I still know how to debate?
Do you look down on me?
"kindness……"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
What Li Si said is indeed reasonable.
"but!"
Zhao Long smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, you have ignored a key issue!"
kindness?
What?
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Li Si was stunned and immediately asked, "What's the problem?"
"Will Great Qin wait quietly for a hundred years? Will the development of a dynasty make it wait for a hundred years?"
Zhao Long smiled and said, "A hundred years from now, will those monarchs and those ministers still do this? Can they still do this? In a hundred years, the court will inevitably be dominated by the powerful. In a hundred years, the court, the nobles, and the powerful will
How will the relationship with the people change?
Haha, not every monarch can have the same conditions and abilities as Qin Shihuang! If a dynasty misses a suitable monarch, or misses a suitable capable minister, it may never be picked up again.
Time to get up!"
Hiss?
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng suddenly felt enlightened and enlightened!
A dynasty will not always have such opportunities.
If a suitable monarch is missed, or a suitable capable minister is missed, then the court may never have the chance to pick it up again?
"That……"
After hearing this, Li Si felt moved in his heart and asked, "If there was no such Qin II, wouldn't Great Qin be..."
"He will only slowly deteriorate, and no one can stop him!"
Zhao Long said, "The laws of history tell us that when a dynasty is just established, the ratio of nobles to ordinary people is the smallest, that is, a noble is supported by a large group of common people! How can the nobles commit suicide at this time?
Everything is fine!
Subsequently, the nobles had three wives and four concubines, the family members increased rapidly, and the number of people available to the court also increased rapidly. The common people were not under much pressure to survive. If a group of people raised a noble, they could afford it and still have a surplus, so the common people
The population will also increase rapidly!
This time is what we call the prosperous age. As long as extreme situations like Qin II don't happen, there will basically be such a period! Well, this is actually the demographic dividend.
It's not that the monarch in the prosperous age is so powerful, but that he is not a brainless person who behaves randomly. Normal people can do this!
But what happens after that? One generation of nobles is a group, and the next generation has a larger population! Soon it flourishes and a large number of people are produced. Even if it is not hereditary, as long as they monopolize the selection of court officials, they are actually replacing each other.
It's just a position, a different kind of hereditary, all of them can be rich!
What about the common people? The common people have small households, and the number of people will not increase that much. However, the number of nobles they want to support is increasing, so the common people can only have more cashiers!
When the number of nobles increases and the pressure on the common people increases, there will eventually come a point where the building collapses and the entire dynasty is devastated. Small repairs at this time are destined to be unstoppable.
The dynasty, nine times out of ten, will inevitably perish and is irreversible!" 81 Chinese website
Hiss?
Hearing what Zhao Long said, Ying Zheng was suddenly shocked.
