Today, Eliza felt a little strange. Her son was acting out of character. Instead of going to the big library, he buried himself in the small study at home and did not leave.
However, Eliza did not think too much about it. After washing the dishes and bidding farewell to her son, she went to the orchard to take care of her work.
At this moment, on the second floor of the wooden house, the bright sunlight shone through the window, warming up the small study room. Through the clean glass, the words on the spine were all illuminated.
In front of the Primary Color desk on the far side of the bookcase, Sayre's eyes were wide open as he flipped through the old book he had just found on the bookshelf-the history textbook.
As expected, in the first year of school, the last part of the textbook already roughly touched on the concept of "exploitation":
Although it wasn't explained in detail, the notes reminded the students which books they could borrow to expand their knowledge in advance.
" I didn't remember it clearly." Seale rubbed his head in distress and stood up. He opened the bookcase again and found all the history textbooks from the past three years.
After arranging them neatly into a pile on the table, Seer searched for the knowledge he had forgotten one by one according to his gradually clearer impression.
Unknowingly, time had slipped past her fingertips as she flipped through the pages of the book.
Finally, Saer had thoroughly reviewed the six books and sorted out his memory. All the content regarding " exploitation " was not explained in detail in the text of the textbook. It was only mentioned in the notes.
It seemed like…Esther really…had read a lot of extra-cursory books…Sighing lightly, Saier sighed," Read a book a hundred times, and you'll see what it means?
For now…this was not without reason.
At the very least, with the help of what Esther had written, Sayre had rediscovered: The fundamental reason for the collapse of the dynasties of the Summer State was the endless exploitation of the people.
There was only a brief summary in the textbook: Land was the most basic resource for agricultural production.
In an agricultural society like the ancient Xia Zhou, having more land meant having more production resources. Controlling more production resources meant creating more profits.
Therefore, the local gentry desired land, the dynasty officials desired land, and the royal family also desired land: Where did the land come from?
Of course, it was the most practical and practical way to get it from the people. It was the cheapest and easiest.
Even if the monarch created the system of officials and gentry paying grain, it would only slow down the process of annexation.
When the people had no land to farm, when the rebel army rose up: The bugle call for the destruction of the dynasty sounded. The curtain of the world changing hands was lifted.
Generations reincarnated, each generation reappearing.
It was not until the establishment of the Empire and the return of all things to the Emperor that this repeated tragedy was temporarily resolved.
From this, the textbook deduced the reason for the fall of the dynasty: In short, the land was annexed.
But now, Saer came up with a new answer: Exploit.
The annexation of land was only the direct cause…it was not the root cause of the destruction of the dynasties.
The fundamental reason was exploitation-the emperor and the officials were ultimately exploiting the people for their own benefit.
The emperor was just another form of official. The emperor and the other officials worked together to plunder resources and gain benefits.
In order to check and balance the other officials, the emperor had to plunder more resources and gain more benefits. The difficulty was too high and it was impossible to implement it.
Therefore, when other officials and gentry exploited the people, the best choice the emperor could make was to join them and compete with them on the same stage. Let's see who can exploit faster.
All the pain must be tasted by the people.
Therefore, the uprising of the people, the overthrow of the old dynasty, the seizing of the old land, the destruction of the old order, the birth of a new emperor, the re-distribution of new land, and the establishment of a new order were the inevitable results.
Thinking of this, Seer couldn't help but feel a little proud." He wasn't stupid to understand such a complicated logic.
A dazzling light suddenly shot in, and Zha De Sai Er was in a trance before he realized his mental fatigue. Before he knew it, the entire morning had passed and it was time for his nap.
Shaking his head and waking up, Sayre left the desk, pushed open the door, and ran downstairs. He took two red fruits from the refrigerator in the kitchen, washed them, and carried them to the living room. He sat on the sofa and took small bites.
The reason why Sayre sat on the sofa was not for comfort or to look at the screen-it was simply because the light was not as glaring as it was upstairs.
The autumn sun at noon was too warm. It was so warm that it felt hot and stuffy.
Only the spacious living room had the best ventilation and was comfortable.
With all kinds of plants, Seer could easily feel the true freshness of autumn.
One had to know that Eliza did not like the pure wood color decoration style. On the furniture with a single color tone, she could embellish it with many colors. Green leaves and white flowers were pleasing to the eye.
Most of them lived as potted plants, growing all over the wooden house. The living room was no exception. The thick evergreen leaves and the brocade bell flowers were charming and elegant.
This white bell flower…seemed to come from Gwelland? After eating two red fruits, Seer looked at the potted plant his mother was cultivating.
Seer didn't know much about Gwellan, but he also knew a lot.
After all, it was the country with the longest history in the world. It was not easy for it to retain the kingship system left behind by the magic civilization when the industrial civilization was so developed.
In the history textbooks, only the first year detailed the history of Gwelland. Although it was detailed, it was mainly modern history, followed by imperial history. As for the ancient history, it was almost written in a stroke.
Seer's impression of Gwellan was limited to these few points: Imperial orthodoxy, royal marriages, world wars, and workers 'protests.
Adding in a lot of famous literature and truth knowledge, Seer had already roughly sketched Gwellan's appearance in his mind. Ancient.
Ancient, mysterious, ancient.
Such a foreign country inadvertently aroused Saier's interest again.
Now, Seer's mind was filled with exploitation. What was the root of exploitation? It was the system.
Then, could Gwellan, who used the Empire's Code of Law, follow suit and avoid the vicious circle of exploitation?
Soon, Sayre shook his head to deny his guess and let the fruit core float into the trash can.
No matter how slow he was, Saier knew: The book said that the Empire Code was a special product of a specific period. It had great limitations and was no longer applicable to the present.
Just from the descriptions of the workers 'struggles in the textbooks, Sayre could roughly guess: Gwelland's workers 'resistance movement from one to two hundred years ago was definitely not any better than the recent riots in the Federation.
In the end, was it still exploitation? After sorting out his thoughts, Sail walked up the stairs to his bedroom, closed the vine window, and changed into a loose robe.
Saier lay on the wooden bed and covered himself with a beige quilt, preparing for his afternoon nap. Gwelland was like this, and so was the Federation…It was just that the target of exploitation had changed.
Since ancient times, apart from the Republic and the Empire, exploitation has always existed and has never been eliminated…The darkness in the bedroom was like a lullaby, slowly bringing out the tiredness in Seer's body, and slowly making his eyes hazy.
Just as he was about to fall into a dream, another question popped up in his mind. How could the empire not exploit them?
The reason why the Republic eliminated exploitation was because of its unique public property system: The production resources and tools would be owned by all the citizens of the Republic, and only labor would determine the value.
What about the Empire? How did the empire eliminate exploitation?
Even after exhausting everything in his mind, Seer still couldn't find any knowledge related to the problem in his memory.
Neither the textbooks nor the extra-cursory books mentioned that there was no exploitation in the Imperium. The Empire had no classes, and the classes of the Empire existed only in name.
This was a little strange…Seer's sleepiness gradually disappeared, and his thoughts became active again. Think about the Republic…Regarding exploitation, the textbooks clearly stated that exploitation originated from the private property system. As long as there was private property, there would be exploitation.
The only way to eliminate exploitation was to implement the public property system: On the whole, the resources and tools of production were taken over by the whole people-exploitation could only be directed at others.
Since the public property system was implemented, exploitation would lose its target. Since they had lost their target, they could not exploit them. Since it could not be carried out, exploitation would no longer exist.
After introducing this theory into the Empire, doubts immediately welled up in Seale's heart. No matter what kind of book it was, it clearly pointed out that everything in the Empire belonged to the Emperor and the True Martial Force.
This was an absolutely accurate description of the private property system, and it was an extremely extreme one.
Unless…Zhenwu represented the people-that was impossible.
It was more appropriate to call Zhen Wu a god. Gods, humans, elves, and other ordinary creatures were completely different. Divine power could affect ordinary creatures, but ordinary creatures could not affect gods at all.
From this, it could be seen that Zhenwu could not represent the people.
It was difficult for an individual in a group to represent the group…let alone an individual outside the group?
The Empire…Suddenly, Saer realized that he had forgotten something important. The emperor was merciless.
Or rather, the lust of life was meaningless to the emperor.
True Martial could treat all lives equally…because he didn't care about all lives.
He didn't care about humans, elves, orcs, or even dragons and the old gods. These were all inferior to him.
Just like…the way to manage monkeys that he had heard about in the animal world? Then…why not call it the Monkey Theory?
The Monkey Theory referred to the fact that when managing the monkeys in the iron cage, the person in charge could use all kinds of tools to monitor the monkeys around the clock and not let them off for even a moment. He could also punish and deter the monkeys who bullied them so that they would all be obedient and obey the order.
From the monkey theory, it could be inferred that…because of the high monkeys, the managers were able to face the injustice in the monkey group and treat all the monkeys equally. They would interfere fairly and correct their behavior of fighting for food and bullying the old and weak.
With that, Seer was enlightened and sighed. Why didn't he think of such a simple logic in the beginning?
Humans versus monkeys was like Zhenwu versus humans. The food in the monkeys was controlled by humans, and the resources in the crowd were controlled by Zhenwu. One was full, and the other was full.
If the monkeys were disobedient, they would definitely suffer. If the crowd did not obey, they would definitely be punished.
In this way, the bullying among the monkeys would disappear, and the exploitation among the crowd would disappear... Thinking of this, even Sayre felt that he was exceptionally smart. He couldn't help but clap his hands and praise himself.
There was a monkey king system in the monkey group, and there was a class system in the crowd.
There were people outside the monkey group, and there was a True Martial outside the crowd.
Since humans could use control and violence to forcefully break down the monkey king system in the monkey group…Zhen Wu could naturally use the same method to break down the class system in the crowd.
Seer's little brain was working quickly, sorting out and connecting everything that he had just thought of.
The bullying in the monkey group, the exploitation in the crowd…
To compare the monkey king in the monkey group to the class in the crowd…
Wouldn't it be obvious now?
Sigh, but…regarding the new conclusion, Saier began to struggle again. What was the relationship between bullying and the Monkey King, exploitation and class?
Bullying…How did bullying happen?
Monkey King…How did the Monkey King come into being?
Food, for food.
Thinking of the scene of monkeys fighting for food in the iron cage in the zoo, Seer deduced," When fighting for food, a strong monkey was the most advantageous…As such, it became stronger and stronger…Gradually, it became a monkey king.
After becoming the monkey king, it relied on its own strength to intimidate the other monkeys, so that every time it sent out food, the monkeys would not be so noisy…Then, every time it ate, the monkey king would be the first to eat, and it would eat the best. This was a disguised form of "bullying".
Until the management of the zoo insisted on monitoring the monkeys without blind spots and dealt with the monkeys, so that bullying no longer existed, and the monkey king was also forcibly eliminated.
Then…comparing exploitation and class…Seale's eyes fell, and the relationship between them was somewhat clear.
By equating food with benefits, bullying with exploitation, and monkey king with social class, it was clear at a glance:
Food caused bullying, and bullying made the monkey king.
The monkey king continued to bully and bully to obtain food.
Profits led to exploitation, and exploitation created classes.
The class continued to exploit and exploit for benefits.
At this time, he only needed to erase the " food " and " benefits " and make a second summary on the basis of the summary to get the final answer.
Thus, in the bedroom that was dark enough to sleep soundly, Seale muttered to himself,""Bullying produces a monkey king, and the monkey king will definitely bully. Exploitations produce classes, and classes are bound to be exploited.”
After reading it, Seale turned around and closed his eyes. This was exactly the same as the purpose…format that Esther had mentioned.
However, since he had already gotten the answer, there was no need to dwell on those unnecessary things. It was better to sleep…Rubbing his eyes, Seale wiped away the tears that had unknowingly flowed out and fell into a dream.
