Chapter 2475 The Inevitability of History

Chapter 2475 Sheep eats people

Fang Yun said slowly: "Let me put it in the most popular language, what can ordinary people do that will allow them to create more value and wealth, or power?"

The great scholars present vaguely understood Fang Yun's intention, and their eyes lit up.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "I know the answer to this question, but I won't tell you. Let's discuss the second question, new technology. This new technology actually includes two directions, all war poems, art of war, new painting methods, etc. etc., are all new technologies, but the process of creating this new technology often requires inspiration and is difficult for anyone to control. Therefore, we will ignore this new technology for the time being. We only mention the new technologies that have the greatest impact on war at present. Well, I guess Everyone understands that it is industrial technology.”

Many great scholars nodded slightly. Gongjia technology, like war poetry and art of war, had become one of the powerful forces that controlled the human race's battles.

"If we recall carefully, we will find that every leap forward in industrial technology is caused by breakthroughs by amazing geniuses. But in fact, before every breakthrough, the related technologies are slowing down at an almost undetectable speed. Slow accumulation. Without a long period of technical accumulation, no matter how talented you are, you cannot achieve technological breakthroughs and leaps. At this point, my goal is already clear. We cannot control the breakthroughs of genius, but we can speed up the accumulation of technology!”

Many great scholars' breathing became thicker.

Fang Yun smiled and continued to explain his point of view.

"Let's go back to the source of history and trace our ancestors. In the beginning, our ancestors only knew how to collect food and hunt. However, due to backward tools and not all resources at every gathering and hunting point are inexhaustible, It is inexhaustible, so the actual harvest of our ancestors is very limited. With limited food, it is impossible to expand the ethnic group. Even in the early stages of all ethnic groups in the world, they used various methods to control the population, such as killing the weak. children or elderly people.”

"Later, humans learned to grow food and animal husbandry, and were able to feed more people, without everyone having to obtain food. As a result, people had new needs, and behaviors other than planting and grazing were derived, such as the need to preserve food. , there is pottery; for example, if you need to protect the ethnic group and harvest food better, there is metal smelting; such as records, management, sacrifices, etc. "

"From the behavior of our ancestors, we can find that, in fact, technology improves the population, and the excess population in turn promotes the progress of technology. New technology once again increases the quantity and quality of the population. In this cycle, they complement each other. Over time, the human race It developed into what we are now.”

"What should we use to accelerate the accumulation of technology? Abandon primitive means and natural processes. We must artificially promote this process. We must actively increase investment in technology. We must mobilize more manpower and material resources to promote new technologies. Quickly accumulate, thereby accelerating technological leaps and breakthroughs. In fact, as long as the Holy Academy and the Ten Nations are deployed, we do not lack material resources, but we lack people. "

"Going back to the previous question, is it better for us to use more manpower on growing food, or is it better to send more manpower to workshops to increase the human race's technology accumulation? Farmers or workers, who can speed up technology accumulation better?"

There is no great scholar to answer, because the answer is obvious.

It was not until this moment that the elders of the Agricultural Hall, Gongdian Hall and Xingdian Hall fully understood Fang Yun's true intention.

Fang Yun looked at the scholars who were constantly thinking and deducing, feeling very calm.

History is the best teacher, and the past is the best gentleman.

The famous sheep-eating man-enclosure movement is the best example. In order to obtain huge profits, some people used despicable means to seize farmers' land and products and force farmers to move into cities.

This example is disgraceful and full of blood, greed and sin, but it can teach people a lot.

The essence of sheep cannibalism is that the higher class sacrifices the lower class and plunders the lower class.

In fact, since the birth of the human race, sheep have been eating people repeatedly. Those who have advanced or powerful power will sacrifice those who have backward and weak power every once in a while.

In every innovation, as long as there is so-called labor pain, it must be that the person in pain is deliberately sacrificed. In essence, it is no different from the sheep-cannibalism movement.

In other words, the history of mankind is the history of continuous sacrifice by the bottom.

It is the blood and tears of the lower class humans that have solidified the foundation of the human race, allowing the geniuses of the human race to build monuments representing humanity on the solid foundation.

Xingdiange Lao Gaomo asked slowly: "How do we obtain excess food?"

Fang Yun glanced at the great scholar of the Nongdian and said: "The Nongdian has achieved fruitful results in the Blood Mango Realm, successfully cultivating high-yielding grains and vegetables on a large scale, such as potatoes, corns, sweet potatoes, cabbages, pumpkins, etc., and then With the addition of the divine artifacts I obtained from the Buried Sacred Valley, through cross-breeding, within a few years, the human race’s food and vegetable output will be three times or more than what it is now.”

Xu Shi added: "The discovery of many foods is mostly due to Fang Xusheng. Without Fang Xusheng, we may not have been able to discover these high-yielding crops in more than ten years."

Gao Mo nodded and said: "It seems that Fang Xusheng wants to use the Blood Mang Realm to nourish the human race and supply minerals with the minerals from the Burial Holy Valley, Jiao Holy Palace and Shihan Ancient Land, so that more people can leave the fields. Go to the workshop to work and complete the accumulation of primitive skills? "

"That's right." Fang Yun said.

"But what should those people do if they are unwilling? If forced, will it cause turmoil?" Gao Mo stared into Fang Yun's eyes.

All the great scholars fell into silence. In fact, after Fang Yun finished explaining his purpose, everyone thought of this biggest problem.

Fang Yun did not answer immediately, but after a long time, he sighed.

"When I was in the Shihan Ancient Land, I once asked someone a question. A Demon Saint captured one hundred and one people, made one of them sleepy, and then made the other one hundred people wake up. He said that if he killed the one in the A hundred people who are sleeping can be saved. If we are among those hundred people, should we kill the sleeping person?"

"Is this your famous avalanche problem?"

Fang Yun nodded and said: "My answer now is the same as it was then. I can't guarantee that what I do is kind and correct, nor can I guarantee that I will follow the benevolence, justice, morality and etiquette. I sacrificed them, but I can guarantee that I am better than Everyone has sacrificed more, and I have paid more than everyone else. I personally will not gain any personal gain from this matter. I will not stand on their backs to brag about my achievements. I will not let them starve to death. We will not let them sell their bodies for a living..."

Fang Yun suddenly paused for a few breaths and continued: "The reason for sacrificing them is the incompetence and shamelessness of our senior human race. My final bottom line is that I can sacrifice them, but I will not first promote them as lazy, greedy and ignorant group, then with righteous In the name of forcing them out of farmland, out of villages and towns, and into workshops in cities, just like if one day I need them to sacrifice again and need them to leave the workshop, I will not let them carry the burden that should be ours. The reputation these incompetent and shameless senior executives bear.”

"Old man... I'm ashamed." Gao Mo let out a long sigh.

All the great scholars looked at Fang Yun with their eyes filled with respect.

To explain, some subtleties have appeared before, but the essence is very different. Fang Yun is in different positions and at different times, and has different understandings of the same thing, and the methods are naturally different. Now as the head of a hundred officials in a country, his vision is naturally different from when he was a county magistrate. In other words, he has grown but retained something.
