Chapter 249 The next history
"Can you speculate on the cause of the civil strife?" Gan Yaduo paused for a while, looking at Zhang Yuan leisurely.
It has seen part of the development history of human beings, and wars have occurred much more times than the Glitzers. The complexity of history is also much more complex than that of the Glitzers.
Zhang Yuan pondered and calculated carefully, and savored the historical inevitability.
He said, "I think there are many reasons, but the main reason is that the management system, ideology, and especially the distribution system cannot keep up with the sudden productivity."
“Yes, that’s it.”
Initial electrification means that the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity and produce various substances, but it does not mean that the resources have been produced. This was the Stone Age. In this poor and indifferent situation, there are too many things to be produced.
This is a question of who will be rich first and who will be rich later.
No matter how powerful a universal factory is, there are only 13 units. As a powerful 3D printer, even if the production capacity is very strong, it is definitely not cost-effective to directly produce and live supplies.
The best way is to use a universal factory to produce various machines to cooperate with expanding production, so that productivity can be greatly improved.
Therefore, it cannot produce the material resources that all Glitzers need at once, nor can it be able to achieve a prosperous modern life for the whole nation at once.
However, under the selfish intentions of some individuals, the productivity of universal factories is not entirely used to produce means of production, and some high-ranking officials and nobles have taken the lead in enjoying life in the power era.
This makes a huge contrast.
You know... It was the Stone Age at that time, and many Glitzers were still eating grass in the fields!
Originally, it was generally poor and had low productivity. No matter how rich the rich were, they were only like that. And under the social public support system, wealth was accumulated in clans, which was equivalent to an alternative collective economy. Once an individual died of old age, this part of the wealth would be released again into society or his own clans, so the gap between the individual and the individual was not particularly large.
The rich can only secretly raise a few illegitimate children and inherit their own small amount of wealth. Members within the clan turn a blind eye to this phenomenon. Who makes them have the ability to make money?
As for entertainment methods, people with high IQ play with elegant things such as mathematics, ordinary people do some carvings, paintings, and singing operas... Anyway, everyone plays their own things and does not interfere with each other.
But now it's different...
The gap between the Stone Age and the Electricity Age is really a bit outrageous, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as earth-shaking. New lifestyles, entertainment methods, new food, clothing, living places, food, clothing, housing and transportation have all undergone new changes!
Such a change also means that the gap between the rich and the poor, which was originally tolerated, suddenly changed drastically!
At the beginning, only a small number of people could enjoy these new material resources and could not be fully popularized. Therefore, the population with low social status suddenly developed an extremely unbalanced mentality.
Zhang Yuan tapped his finger gently: "I understand that it is because of the huge gap between the rich and the poor brought by the universal factory, which has accumulated energy for civil strife. Well, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Stone Age and the Electric Power Age is also a bit too big."
There is a gap between the rich and the poor within a civilization. This is very normal, because there is a gap between individuals and individuals, and there is no way to live a worse life than others.
But the larger the gap between the rich and the poor, the more likely it is to cause turmoil.
Because of the emergence of universal factories, in just two or three years, the "Glizze Civilization's "Gini Index" suddenly soared to the sky, which is naturally not something that the lower class people can tolerate.
Although the Glitzer people are idle and free, they do not mean they have no desire. Under the impact of massive material resources, everyone begins to be ready to move. No one is willing to continue the life of the primitive era, even if they are one day later...
As people's hearts are ready to move, the government departments, which were not very strong, have significantly reduced their management capabilities and their binding force on citizens. Even the managers themselves are at a state of helplessness and internal chaos under such a huge impact.
In addition to the gap between the rich and the poor, there is also a second internal reason. The original economic system dominated by handicrafts began to appear extremely out of date, and various economic policies and cultures have caused a lot of chaos.
To give a simple example, the original products on the market were limited to primary commodities such as grain, bone tools, handicrafts, etc., and the added value was relatively low. Many ordinary people rely on manual production of these commodities to live, and over tens of thousands of years, it has become very stable.
Production of goods from universal factories has high added value. In this Stone Age, the added value of a car should even be so high that no one can afford it!
The impact of a large number of new products has led everyone to want to buy the latest products.
The prices of original commodities fell sharply, and low-value commodities could not be sold at all. The chaos in monetary policy soon led to deflation and the economy was completely paralyzed.
The economic collapse has led to some handicraft merchants losing money and starting to fail to support themselves.
With the development of technology, people who cannot support themselves have emerged. This phenomenon is incredible but natural. After all, the quality and work ability of most ordinary people are still in the Stone Age and have no way to keep up with the trend of the times. They can only do a little simple handicraft work. Now handicrafts are suddenly worthless and are directly unemployed.
The government at that time did not have enough experience and organizational capabilities to deal with this economic crisis, and the response was always slow, which led to the overall crisis getting bigger and bigger.
These management teams do not have this kind of economics in their minds, and they do not know why more and more poor people are becoming more and more poor.
This group of poor people who lost their jobs either left the city and continued to live the primitive life...
Or...to realize your demands through violence!
"These two reasons are like two springs. The tighter the pressure, the greater the power it bursts out." Zhang Yuan sighed and looked at the white ceiling, pondering, pondering...
Unfortunately, the interstellar civilization only taught them some scientific knowledge, but there was no knowledge about the system... No matter how smart the Glitzer people have never experienced it, they would not know about this, and they would not be able to react.
