Chapter 784: Three Major Contradictions In The Dynasty, Transferring Internal Conflicts Through Exte
After giving a brief introduction to perfecting and improving Yingtianfu’s future infrastructure construction, Yan Changqing concluded on “vigorously carrying out national infrastructure construction”:
"In general, it is very beneficial for the country to establish an official engineering team of the imperial court and vigorously carry out national infrastructure construction.
"
"On the one hand, it can increase the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity and alleviate the contradiction between man and land."
“On the other hand, it can also promote employment, increase income, expand demand, increase the economy, improve people’s quality of life, enhance people’s attachment to the country, improve the ability of the country and people to withstand natural risks, improve urban competitiveness, and promote investment attraction. "
Why did his motherland in his previous life like to vigorously develop national infrastructure construction? In addition to being influenced by the lessons of natural disasters such as the 2008 snowstorm.
The more important reason is that infrastructure can create a large number of manufacturing worker positions, infrastructure teams, and service teams, creating more favorable conditions for increasing employment rates.
At the same time, the cash flow from infrastructure projects will enter all walks of life through the extension of the industrial chain and the payment of employee wages, which will in turn stimulate domestic demand and improve the consumption level of urban and rural residents.
With the expansion of domestic demand, all walks of life can also be better promoted and developed.
Finally, the improvement of infrastructure will not only help improve the basic competitiveness of the city, but also the country, provide more favorable conditions for attracting investment from other places, and even foreign countries, and will also greatly benefit people's livelihood and national defense.
Therefore, stimulated by these benefits, the motherland of Yan Changqing in his previous life started a crazy infrastructure construction model and completed one infrastructure achievement after another that attracted the attention of the world.
"In addition to allowing people who have lost their land to join the engineering teams established by the national court to make a living, we can also encourage people in Zhu's landless cities to make a living through various small livelihood businesses."
"For example, when I taught you about the "added value of items" before, I mentioned the bamboo handicrafts.
“If the common people cannot make a living by growing food on acres of land, then they can be encouraged and guided to make and produce small commodities such as bamboo handicrafts.
"Then, these people who have lost their land can make and sell bamboo handicrafts in exchange for monetary rewards, and then use these monetary rewards to buy food, salt and other daily necessities."
"As long as they can make and trade these 067 bamboo handicrafts, their whole family can survive."
"Then even if they lose the acres of land they used to rely on for survival, they can still continue to survive, and they will not end up taking the extreme path caused by desperation."
"One day, the vast majority of people will no longer just rely on acres of land to grow food for a living, but will be able to make a living through various other sideline businesses."
"At that time, even if the issue of land annexation still existed, it would not be said that the people would be forced to rebel."
“So Your Majesty and Your Highnesses can ask the imperial court to organize some craftsmen to go to various townships, towns, and villages to teach the people some of the most basic and basic craftsmanship skills.
"Not to mention that in the future, after people lose their land, they can make a living through these craftsman skills."
"Even during their free time, ordinary people can use these most basic craftsmanship skills to make some handicrafts and sell them to others, thereby gaining ten extra meager areas."
"This is also a good thing for the common people."
Zhu Yuanzhang below, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, all fell into a thoughtful state when they heard this.
After a moment of thinking, Yan Changqing continued:
"Except for the method just mentioned by His Highness the Crown Prince to alleviate the contradiction between man and land, the solution mentioned by His Highness the King of Qin and His Highness the King of Jin is actually the same, which is to divert the contradiction through war."
"For a dynastic empire, there are three main types of contradictions that affect the stability of its order, namely internal contradictions within the ruling class, class contradictions, and national contradictions."
"For example, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo's Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, etc. These are all conflicts within the ruling class.
"Another example is the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty, the Yellow Turban uprising at the end of Han Dynasty, the people's uprising at the end of Sui Dynasty, the Huangchao uprising at the end of Tang Dynasty, etc. These are all class conflicts.
"For example, the Han-Hungarian War in the Han Dynasty, the Song-Liao War, the Song-Yuan War in the Song Dynasty, etc., these are all ethnic conflicts between the farming peoples of the Central Plains and the nomadic peoples of the grasslands."
"For the emperor, in order to maintain his rule and the long-term stability of the dynasty, he often regulates (bhcf) these three contradictions to prevent one of them from intensifying, getting out of control, or breaking out."
"The most commonly used method is to transfer one contradiction and cover up another contradiction that is close to critical, so as to avoid the outbreak of another contradiction that is close to critical."
"For example, when the emperor is strong, he will choose to crack down on powerful powers, inhibit mergers, and use the internal contradictions of the ruling class to divert and ease class conflicts, so as to prevent the eventual intensification of class conflicts from triggering peasant uprisings and causing the country to change hands."
"And if the emperor's position is unstable or not so strong, then in order to avoid being killed by coups, rebellions, or being deposed by the ruling class, he will choose to condone the ruling class's exploitation of the people."
"In other words, class contradictions are used to divert the internal contradictions of the ruling class."
"And these two approaches, to put it bluntly, are actually dividing the cake."
"When class contradictions are acute, cut some of the ruling class's cake and give it to the people in order to ease and calm the acute class contradictions."
“When the conflicts between the ruling class and the ruling class are acute, cut some of the people’s cakes to the ruling class to ease and quell the acute conflicts between the ruling class and the ruling class.
“But if class contradictions and ruling class contradictions have reached a critical point, just slicing the cake of one of them will lead to a complete outbreak of contradictions of the other.
"Then what should we do at this time?!!"
"Then we can use national contradictions to divert class contradictions and ruling class contradictions!!!"
"In other words, it is to divert class contradictions and ruling class contradictions by launching foreign wars.
"Using this method will lead to two situations."
"One situation is that everyone should stop fighting. It's so boring to fight for such a small amount of money at home. Why don't we join forces to attack the big fool next door, seize their territory, and seize their money!"
"Through foreign wars and plunder, we will enlarge the domestic interest cake, and then appease the grievances of those in the country who originally thought that their share of the cake was small."
"The other situation is that everyone should stop fighting. People outside are going to come in and steal our cakes. If we fight again, our cakes will be snatched away!"
"Let's put aside our disputes first and join forces to drive out the outsiders. Then we can slowly discuss how our cake should be divided."
"So whether it was the people who got more cakes or the people who got less cakes, they all had to join forces to fight with the people who came to grab the cakes."
"Whether it is the former situation or the latter situation, during a foreign war, the power of the country and the emperor will be highly concentrated."
"At the same time, during this special period of foreign war, many things that were originally restricted by the interests of the monarch, the people, the ruling class, the common class, and the legal framework and could not be done arbitrarily can also be done arbitrarily."
“For example, in the selection of talents, we can no longer follow the established rules and regulations and directly promote people outside the rules, thereby breaking the original rule of interest groups.
"For another example, when dealing with die-hards who resist or even resist reform policies, we can also stigmatize opponents of reform policies as traitors to the enemy or as spies for the enemy through national defense mobilization, anti-corruption and anti-espionage, etc. , or even eliminated directly.”
"This allows reform policies that were originally shackled by various domestic interest groups to be implemented smoothly."
"Ultimately, domestic policy reforms were completed during the foreign war."
"In this way, the class conflicts and ruling class conflicts that were about to break out were either eased and calmed through internal policy reforms, or they were vented and eased directly through foreign wars."
Having said this, Yan Changqing wrote on the blackboard one after another "Contradictions within the ruling class", "Class Contradictions", and "National Contradictions - Conflicts Transferred by War".
Then Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Qin King Zhu Di and Jin King Zhu Fan, and warned:
"Although it is a good method to divert conflicts through war, its risks are also high.
"For example, first, the target of launching a foreign war must have war dividends!"
"In other words, when you start a war, you have to get corresponding benefits from it."
"For example, if the imperial court launches a war on the grassland, it will obtain a large number of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, or gold, silver, copper, iron, oil veins, or even captive grassland people!"
"Then after such a war is fought, Tingcai will become richer and richer as it fights.
"But if you say that after a war, all the cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock will run away, all the captured prairie people will die, and there will be no gold, silver, copper, iron, oil and other mineral veins. In the end, The court gained nothing."
"Then such a war is a war that truly wastes people and money."
"By then, not only will the internal contradictions and class contradictions within the ruling class not be transferred away, but it may further arouse the internal contradictions and class contradictions within the ruling class!"
"But under normal circumstances, there are still dividends from war."
"After all, even if there are no cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, there is still a captive population."
"Although it is inhumane, sometimes the captive population can be used as livestock."
"Whether it is cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, or captive populations, as long as the number is large, it can reduce the burden and pressure on the local people."
"Even if there are no captives, there may be veins of gold, silver, copper, iron, oil and other minerals hidden under the opponent's territory. It depends on how the imperial court searches and uses them."
"Second, we cannot lose foreign wars!"
"Foreign war is like gambling. If the foreign war is successful, the prestige and popular support of Kaihe and the imperial court will be greatly strengthened."
"At that time, no matter what policy reforms are to be made, the emperor and the court, with the prestige brought by the victory in foreign wars, will be able to push it forward.
"But by the same token, if the foreign war fails, then the prestige and popular support of the emperor and the imperial court will also be completely destroyed!"
"At that time, the emperor and the imperial court, whose prestige and popular support have dropped to the bottom, will no longer be able to suppress the already extremely acute internal conflicts and class conflicts of the ruling class, and may even be overwhelmed by the national conflicts brought about by the start of foreign wars. Backlash!"
"In the end, when the three major contradictions of the ruling class, class contradictions, and ethnic contradictions broke out simultaneously, the dynasty was basically unsustainable."
"most
The good result is that before the dynasty completely collapses, the emperor seizes the opportunity, takes the initiative to rebel, personally destroys the world, and overthrows the entire empire again!"
"Just like the Western Han Dynasty was destroyed and Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu resurrected the Eastern Han Dynasty, the internal conflicts within the ruling class, class conflicts, and national conflicts were all overthrown with the collapse of the old dynasty.
Destroy and re-establish a new imperial dynasty!"
“But this kind of thing is something that the last king of an ordinary dynasty cannot do.
"After all, to put it bluntly, the last king of the dynasty can do such a thing if he has the ability."
"Then he will not lose the foreign war, the internal contradictions and class contradictions of the domestic ruling class will not be suppressed, and the reform policy will not be unable to be implemented.
"If the person is not good, the husband's calendar is useless!"
The use of war to divert domestic conflicts was a very common method of transferring and resolving conflicts in Yan Changqing's previous life.
For example, in the early days of his previous life, the Europeans had fierce domestic conflicts, so everyone went to invade countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and plundered the wealth of the colonies of Asia, Africa and Latin America to ease the conflict.
internal contradictions.
By the time of World War I, the colonial interests of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America were almost divided, so the various imperialists turned their attention to each other and started fighting with each other.
hand.
As a result, everyone kicked each other to the iron plate. Those who participated in the war did not enjoy the war dividends, and returned to their own countries full of resentment, so they blew themselves up in the country in the blink of an eye.
.
So at the end of World War I, a large number of revolutions rumbled across Europe.
As for the even more unlucky idiots who take the initiative to fight others and try to divert domestic conflicts through foreign wars, but are instead killed by others, let alone them.
Therefore, in general, although foreign war can bring high benefits, it is also accompanied by high risks.
Unless the internal conflicts and class conflicts within the domestic ruling class cannot be alleviated through peaceful self-reform, it is generally not recommended to choose external
war to divert domestic conflicts.
After hearing Yan Changqing's narration and warning, King Qin Zhu Fang and King Jin Zhu Fan below also stood up and saluted:
"Thank you Mr. Yan for your guidance!"
"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for telling me!"
