1601 Daming people are too tired
Everything in the world has its own operating logic. If you want to change these operating logics and obtain benefits that do not belong to you, you have to pay a corresponding price.
What comes with a proactive state is that officials feel the pleasure of power expansion.
With the transformation of the governance logic of a proactive state, the official power has been unprecedentedly enhanced, and the number of things that need to be done has increased suddenly, and the bureaucratic team will also absorb more new people to enter.
A proactive state will quickly give birth to a huge bureaucratic group attached to it and become a de facto interest group. This group is highly bound to a proactive state and regards it as politically correct.
Without the constraints of rules, they will soon lose control, and they will soon bring a reasonable and limited state of activeness to an unreasonable and infinite state of activeness, wantonly infringing on the interests of farmers.
And it continues to be "active" and continues to be "active" until the people's savings during the state of inaction are drained and a peasant uprising breaks out.
When the ruler finds the problem, the first thing he has to face is not the problems brought about by the conditioned state, but the conditioned state itself.
The extremely large and bloated bureaucratic team and its decaying and degenerate luxury lifestyle are the root of all problems.
If the ruler wants to restore the declining situation of the empire, he must restrain and abolish officials, which will inevitably cause a strong rebound from the bureaucratic team and bring extremely serious consequences.
This is the biggest problem faced by these three typical reform representatives.
Su Yonglin never thought that it was a good thing for the government to over-intervention in civil affairs. Excessive intervention itself means more things to do, and it would have to be accompanied by a large number of bureaucratic teams.
Bureaucrats do not produce any wealth, they will only consume wealth. If they just follow the rules and consume it, they will still seize wealth and occupy wealth. As one goes up and down, the gap between the rich and the poor will only widen.
In the end, someone will inevitably come forward to help them equalize the wealth and poverty.
Judging from the current situation of the Ming Dynasty that Su Yonglin observed, the active state has lasted for more than ten years. The entire Ming society has quickly ended many of the accumulated ills in the feudal era, eliminated the veterinary class of the feudal era, and liberated the folk productivity like never before.
Therefore, over the past decade, the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty has increased year by year, and the accumulation of private wealth has also increased year by year.
However, as the proactive state continued, the Ming Dynasty also experienced bureaucratic problems of all sizes, and even eroded the ideal bonus team of the Revival Society, making Su Yonglin face an extremely complex situation of administration.
The difference between the Ming Dynasty and the general feudal dynasties is that after the general feudal dynasties complete the update and iteration, they will quickly enter the period of inaction cultivation.
They will only clean up the remnants of the previous dynasty who stood in the wrong team, and will not clean up all the landlords and powerful classes. Instead, they will win over them and restore the country to normal as soon as possible, so they can quickly enter the period of inaction cultivation and start resting with the people.
This process may have begun only two or three years after the establishment of the dynasty.
In order to completely solve the problems and complete the tasks of revolution and production transformation, the Ming Dynasty did not have a period of inaction cultivation after its founding, but quickly entered a period of effective revolution.
Under the leadership of Su Yonglin, the Ming Dynasty mobilized a relatively large number of officials and cadres to penetrate into the people, deepened its power tentacles into every corner of society, and mobilized the people to eliminate the remnants of the old era such as landlords and powerful people.
Through such violent and thorough actions, the Ming Dynasty uprooted the entire veterinary class and eliminated it nationwide, creating a new history, thus subverting the political logic of ancient China and extremely releasing the enthusiasm of the people for production.
After that, the Ming Dynasty continued to innovate and revolution, established collective farms, collective workshops, built militia teams, built national literacy literacy classes, fought everywhere, expanded territory, and eliminated the enemy.
In this process, the official team is getting bigger and bigger, and the official power is getting bigger and bigger.
It is also because of its just nature and protection of the interests of the lower class, it has gained more and more popularity and support from the people.
The huge material gains brought about by eliminating the veterinary class also provide sufficient material support for this action, so that the considerable loss in an active state can be suppressed.
With the cooperation of the people, the administrative costs and judicial costs are extremely low, which makes the Ming Dynasty's internal consumption extremely low and the external radiation power is extremely huge.
Driven by a brand new collective economic model, the productivity of the Ming Dynasty almost reached the peak of the Middle Ages, and due to the emergence of steam engines, there was even a possibility of leap towards the industrial age.
But no matter what, it is undeniable that this is also a special and proactive state.
Officials control almost all power, and because of the continuous victory and policies representing their interests, the people have habitually followed the leader of the Ming Dynasty represented by Su Yonglin. If a local government order is issued and the people will abide by it, it can change everything.
When the internal rules of the ruling group can be well followed and everyone still has ideals, this kind of active state is very superior.
This can achieve feats that have not been seen in ancient and modern times to the greatest extent, and will also have many positive and positive effects on the people's production.
However, Su Yonglin, based on the 13th year of Hongwu and the Republic of 2015, has discovered the problem of this state.
First, he unsurprisingly discovered the rise of the idea of "promoting power" in the Ming Dynasty officials' team.
He found that many officials' desire to promote power was uncontrollable and became increasingly inflated. They liked the roles and ways of doing things that everyone took on, and were even unwilling to engage in democratic centralism within, let alone listen to the opinions of the people.
Some of them are stubborn and stubbornly believe that what they do is the best thing, and everything they do is for the people. The people just need to obey the orders, don’t care about anything else, just give birth and have a baby with peace of mind.
Will the Ming Kingdom harm you?
It does not exist.
So you must obey the orders, not object, but only obey.
This idea gradually spread across the central and local high-level positions of the Ming Dynasty, and its momentum was relatively strong. If timely intervention was not made, major problems would arise.
Secondly, the people of the Ming Dynasty were actually quite tired.
Although their lives are getting better and better and more savings are getting more and more, they are tired. They have to farm, work, do normal work, participate in other activities, learn literacy, and learn ideology and theories.
In the past, they were doing what farmers had to do, and in the past, they were doing what farmers didn't need to do, and all the time was filled.
Although the founding generation of farmers did not feel that they are suffering from the feudal dynasty, what about the next generation?
What about the next generation?
They will be exhausted.
Through a large number of data statistics from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture, Su Yonglin found that the current Ming Dynasty did not get rid of the production model dominated by agriculture in the feudal dynasty, and the main economic growth point is still in agricultural production, not in other aspects.
The output value of industry and commerce is just a big deal for the total output value of the Ming Dynasty.
The lives of farmers are getting better and better, and they are saving more and more. In essence, it is still caused by the rise of the dynasty. A large amount of land is allocated to farmers, unit production efficiency is improved, and a large amount of wasteland has also increased the number of land and land acres, and grain output has naturally increased.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty looked better was because of its advantages in revolutionary policies and good distribution, so the lives of peasants were better than those under the rule of the dynasty.
But they are also not easy.
So essentially, the production model of the Ming Dynasty was more adapted to a centralized monarchical autocratic regime rather than a constitutional democracy.
It was just because Su Yonglin, a big alien, led a group of small aliens to rub the truth with their explosive martial virtues, and then forced the times forward so that they would not continue to work hard.
Once this anomaly disappears, the times will change.
As for whether to get better or worse, Su Yonglin thinks the latter is more likely.
So when he was still alive, he decided to vigorously promote the development of science and technology, change the current production situation of the Ming Dynasty, and create a switch from action to inaction.
The Ming Dynasty could have a Confucian hegemony model, but it could not be without the Huang-Lao model.
It can be effective, but it must also be able to switch back to inaction.
The main political contradiction in the Ming Dynasty at present is that the growing active forces are becoming larger and larger, and they like this state more and more. They not only hope to maintain the active state, but also hope to further enhance the active state, and to double the backhand.
If Su Yonglin lets this go without regard and allows this active state to double, it will cause a complete imbalance in the balance of power between the people and the official. What will happen at that time is not unpredictable.
Su Yonglin has a deep understanding of what bureaucrats can do for political achievements, for promotion, and for personal power and glory.
Sometimes, a mediocre and inaction-driven lazy bureaucrat is far less destructive to people's livelihood than a "capable official" who has ideals and ambitions and wants to be promoted.
So Su Yonglin’s demands are very simple.
At the invincible stall of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest enemy is himself. The thirteen years of high-intensity and active state has allowed the Ming Dynasty to solve most of the problems. Without huge external threats, the Ming Dynasty needs to switch back to the state of inaction that should be, and have a real rest with the people.
The farmers and workers of the Ming Dynasty have not had a good rest in the true sense.
They were too tired. The Ming Dynasty should return the power and status they should have in a state of inaction, so that they could really rest, enjoy and live a life that normal people should have.
Sometimes Su Yonglin thinks about their lifestyle and feels sad for them.
Since they were born, they were told to work hard, but no one ever told them - it's time for you to rest and enjoy life.
It seems that rest and enjoyment are a great crime for them, and it is incorrect. They should not rest and enjoy, otherwise they are wasting their lives.
Dedication is their main theme, and enjoyment is a melody. It cannot be heard. We must strive and move forward at all times, and use our lives to exchange for wealth, so that society can operate and future generations can enjoy happiness.
The meaning of their life is to support the previous generation, support the next generation, exhaust their efforts, and then lose all their value like a dried oil cob.
Generation after generation, repeating itself.
But in fact, anyone with discerning eyes understands that it is not that they cannot rest or enjoy it, but that once they have rest and enjoy it, how should the quality of life of the empire's powerful people and the landlords and powerful people be guaranteed?
People cannot live without the peace of time, so they can only ask them to carry the burden forward.
This won't work.
The Ming Dynasty needed inaction, and the people needed inaction. Su Yonglin could not allow the super double of the state of being ineffective.
The specific manifestation of Su Yonglin's appeal is this people's congress and the laws, including the Constitution, passed at the congress.
Through the addition of the people's congress system and various laws, Su Yonglin will unite it to create a mode of inaction belonging to the Ming Dynasty and the Revolution, and complete the switching from action to inaction.
It is obvious that if we want to achieve this goal, the first thing that stands in front of Su Yonglin is the [Central Representative Conference].
The Central Representative Conference is a complex of the Ming Dynasty's active power, which basically fully represents the interests and demands of the active power.
They want greater power and freedom, they want to control all aspects of the country, and cannot accept control and suppression, otherwise they will be very dissatisfied.
They are very confident in their hearts, they firmly believe that they are doing great things, without realizing that they are gradually entering the abyss that they cannot extricate themselves.
The active state should be a special state, while the inaction state is a regular state.
So Su Yonglin chose to integrate the power in his hands, use his supreme prestige to create a complex of inaction power from nothing to something, representing the interests of inaction power.
If you have the strength to maintain your rationality and are willing to accept this switch, then everything will naturally be fine.
If they don’t want to, and they love this state more than everything, then what Su Yonglin needs to do is rely on the power of inaction to "transform" them.
Now, the first step has been taken out, and the representatives of the promising power have begun to restless.
Then, the second step is the second step.
