Consistency at the end of Chapter 2340
2357. Consistency at the end
Don't think that when this kind of thing comes to a critical juncture, everyone can think rationally.
That is just an ideal state, but the reality is that even in the most dangerous moments, there are only a limited few who can think rationally.
Historically, the Ming Empire was not as good as it was at the end. From our point of view, it was already riddled with holes, right?
But in the eyes of the officials of the Ming Empire at that time, these did not exist.
Even if Li Zicheng is right in front of him, aren't all the ministers in the Chongzhen court still instigating to the extreme?
Chongzhen only raised tens of thousands of taels of silver from these ministers through various prayers. However, after Li Zicheng broke through the capital and tortured him a little, he collected a huge amount of 70 million taels of silver.
Who among us today doesn't know that if all these silver coins were used to save the Ming Empire at that time, Li Zicheng and his like would not have appeared at all, and the Tatars outside the customs would have no choice but to wander in the wind and snow.
But is it possible?
Whatever you have obtained is your own, and it is hard to part with good money. Let alone using it to save the victims, you are more thinking about how to get a few taels of oil and water out of the hands of the victims, right?
Which vested interest group is willing to distribute the cake that has already been obtained to others?
There is no reason to speak of at this time. Anyone who wants to take away any piece of cake from me will be my enemy, and he will never stop fighting!
At this time, go to **** with the so-called reason. My only thought is my own interests.
This is why they can very calmly throw away the barbarian whip that they had been shouting for more than two thousand years, "My parents dare not hurt my body, hair and skin", and happily retained the barbarian whip that they had been extremely contemptuous of not long ago.
At this time, they were the group of great Confucians who were happy to argue for the Tatars.
At this time, Yan Shenggong, who had dared to straighten his chest even when facing the Ming Emperor, knelt down very quickly, crawling like a wild dog.
Because Yan Shenggong knew best how his own people tolerated them, and he knew best that those outsiders were just trying to take advantage of them, and they really dared to kill them at will.
People are barbarians to begin with, so isn't it reasonable to do something unexpected?
If someone beheaded your Duke Yansheng and then repented, wouldn't he immediately be praised by all the great Confucians?
At that time, it will be nothing more than choosing another Yanshenggong to succeed you. If you die, you will die. Who will really care about you?
This was the real reason why Old Kong Jiayan, the Holy Duke, knelt down faster than anyone else.
During the war of resistance against Japan, Baldhead saw that the Japanese pirates were about to reach Qufu, and his first thought was to move the last Duke Yan Shenggong away.
It can only be said that you are stupid to put any trust in Yan Shenggong's lineage at this time.
That's a family that has descended from the world. Is it possible to entrust trust to such a family?
That is to say, we will beat them without hesitation. There is no need for Yan Shenggong. Even if Confucius was still there, he would probably have personally picked up a hammer to knock holes in people's heads.
You have been a cultivator for generations and surrendered to your family. How can our people stand up until you die?
It's time for you, the Confucian who has ruled us for more than two thousand years, to step down from the stage of history.
Now we can make all kinds of complaints about Confucianism,
If Confucianism had not been completely defeated at the beginning, would it be possible to overturn the confinement of those ideas on the people?
Not to mention other things, it is impossible to achieve the rise of women.
Don't those family elders who are deeply entrenched in the countryside rely on Confucianism to suppress and exploit the so-called future generations?
With their existence, could we have allowed 'imperial power to go to the countryside' now?
They are the biggest dregs of Confucianism, or in other words, they are no longer what Confucius said.
This was the case with the Ming Empire when it was coming to an end. Wasn't it the same with Liu Hao's A Chou on Earth before?
Marvel Earth's Chou is no exception.
The difficulty of giving up good wealth does not only happen in one world, but in almost every world and every country.
In history, the cycle rate of dynasties is only three hundred years. Is it true that no one really sees the essence?
There must be many people there, but they also find that there is no solution at all.
To put it bluntly, over the past two to three hundred years, the original group of vested interests have long been entrenched. Can you just remove them if you want?
Whenever this thought arises in your mind, even if you are in the highest position, aren't there countless psychopaths appearing in front of you and sending a few peanuts into your body?
Wasn't A Chou a phenomenon like this in the past?
Which one of the ugly bosses who wants to take action on the currency will end well?
Which one of them is not clicked by a psychopath?
A few days later, can any successor know that this matter is forbidden?
Didn't any of them pretend to know nothing about it later?
But do they really know nothing? Is it possible?
It's nothing more than being unable to change, not daring to change, and even not daring to touch it at all!
Even now, these currencies are still used within the shrinking A Chou in the Liu Hao area, and they are still controlled by those family consortiums.
Compared with the families and financial groups in the past, some of these families and financial groups may have changed. For example, several old ones that have not kept up with the times have been replaced by new ones.
But so what? For their middle and lower classes, the essence remains the same.
Even if their people know that the currency in their hands is worthless except where they live, wouldn't they have to be harvested by these families and consortiums?
Any individual or team that changes their payment model will also be attacked by these families and consortiums, completely annihilating them.
They have been guarding this bottom line so far and not allowing others to break through. Essentially, it is because of this kind of control that they are most conducive to harvesting the middle and lower levels.
Also, just by printing a ticket, you can buy the most precious things from other people's hands. Who wouldn't be happy?
Who is willing to exchange for other means?
Through this method, they control the most precious resources one by one in the hands of their own family and consortium, ensuring that their family and consortium can still be at the top after the spiritual energy is revived.
They will also leave some soup and water for the lackeys kneeling at their feet, but they also need to let the lackeys understand that there are some bottom lines that must not be breached.
Just like before the spiritual energy was revived, they came up with a theory of lunacy.
Some things are so simple and crude but have extraordinary effects.
Some things are so interesting that everyone knows but pretends to know nothing. If you look at them from an outsider's perspective, you will find that there are countless problems within them that you can't even imagine. These problems are not in the same channel as the three views you recognize, but they just happen and they think that is the most reasonable However.
For example, when it comes to corruption, do you really think they are as honest and efficient as they seem?
Is it possible?
There are many ways to legalize unreasonable corruption and turn direct into indirect.
The most conspicuous thing is their "revolving door". Those senior executives who retired from white houses turned around and immediately became directors of a certain multinational company. And you don't need to search carefully to find a large group of such things.
This kind of thing has become a phenomenon among them as a whole, and it seems that the whole society has acquiesced to it.
Those ordinary people are even more brainwashed. They only think that talents are the same when they reach the top. Since you have the ability to become a senior executive in the palace, and you are hired to become a director of a multinational company after retirement, it is more just The afterglow of this person's ability emanates.
They had no idea that this was just a tacit understanding between the two parties.
When you were in power, you helped me obtain a lot of private money. If you retire, I will naturally pay you the money that should have corrupted you.
What they are playing is basically futures, but isn't this also corruption?
If you are familiar with them, you will find that many of their companies are willing to hire some senior executives to give speeches at their companies. You can pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a speech for one or two hours.
But you say this is not corruption?
It seems that this activity itself is a business transaction, but who doesn't understand the underlying nature clearly?
How meaningful are these speeches to the companies paying them? Any help?
Could it be that after listening to these speeches, the employees' mental strength improved a little?
Is it possible?
It's nothing more than invisible corruption. It looks like someone's income from hard work, but who doesn't know that it's just an appearance?
Among those who have become senior officials, which one does not have one or two charitable funds in their hands?
Their law stipulates that charitable funds only need to devote 5% of their profits to charity every year.
Shouldn't the rest be left to the fund managers to handle with confidence?
Aren't they the ones who have the final say on how much expenses are required to operate the fund?
Their children are usually the bosses of these funds, and their salaries are very high.
These are their formal rules, reasonable and legal.
Even if the people knew this clearly, they could not explain the reason and were unable to resist.
They are good at legitimizing many unreasonable things.
It seems that as long as it is legal, it is fair to everyone.
But who doesn't know that is simply unrealistic.
Just like the regulations they enact for the medical industry, who doesn't know that the biggest beneficiaries are those interest groups?
They can contribute a mere 18% of the GDP of the medical industry to the GDP of the entire country.
Is it possible to switch to any other country?
But they did it, and there were many laws supporting them to do it, and they will continue to do so in the future.
Don't think that they are satisfied just because they have gained such huge benefits.
Is it possible? Greed is always endless. If you get a lot, you will want more, and you will want everything.
Therefore, the existence of the death penalty in our eyes has been legalized in their entire country.
The opium we hate was renamed as analgesics in their country. It was immediately recognized and then promoted on a large scale. Before the spiritual energy was revived, nearly 3% of their people were addicted to it. There is no escape from addiction.
But do they care?
Don't care at all, to them the only thing that satisfies them is that profits are growing, so how many people die could they possibly care?
In our eyes, these things challenge our three views, but in their eyes, they are the most reasonable.
It seems that as long as it is enacted into a law, nothing will be a problem.
Morality has never existed for them.
Also, how did the land they occupy come from? It has never been bright at its roots. The seeds have inherent dark properties. Is it possible to grow into sunlight?
You shouldn't have any expectations for them. The reason why they sat on the throne for a time was not because they had the morals and abilities. It was more just a coincidence. He benefited from others who were fighting for their lives.
In essence, they still cannot escape the three-hundred-year dynasty cycle law.
If you study them carefully, you will find that basically all the problems that arise at the end of the dynasty cycle have appeared in them.
It's like gangrene attached to the bones, which they can't get rid of at all. They can only watch their bodies rotting away bit by bit.
Even if there is no spiritual energy recovery, they will still fall.
In other words, the revival of spiritual energy helped Liu Hao's A Chou on Earth to a certain extent.
Even if they are shrinking now, aren't they still there?
But in the eyes of truly understanding people, this kind of survival is actually very sad.
For the shrinking people of A Chou, this is the biggest last resort.
Because foreign enemies, that is, monsters and beasts, have always been around them, forcing them to put down a lot of resistance. Even if they see themselves being exploited all the time, they still can't lift the table.
But what they don't know is that those with vested interests have captured their thoughts.
Many times, you have to admit: the one who really gets the greatest benefit is not the one who has made the greatest contribution, but the one who has the least moral integrity.
Their people can only be forced to unite to deal with the threats of external monsters and monsters, but behind the scenes, they must bear the harvest of the family conglomerates standing above them.
They have no future. Even if they have some geniuses, they cannot actually grow up at all.
They are now actually like some difficult countries before the revival of spiritual energy. They are internally and externally trapped, with no possibility of breaking out.
These, their top level also knew very well, but they didn't care at all.
These people know better that their own strength is the foundation. Even if the shrunken A Chou completely collapses in the future, with their strength, they can still be placed under the banner of Thor, the God of Thunder.
They are still confident in their hearts, even arrogant.
In their hearts, even if they fall at the feet of Thor in the future, it will be a temporary parasitism. They can accumulate themselves through various means as time goes by, and rising again is still a high probability.
