Generally speaking, all conservatives have this view, believing that everything in the past was so good, and that as long as they follow the ancient teachings of their ancestors, peace and prosperity can be maintained forever.
However, this is a world that is constantly changing. Trying to stay on the old track forever is destined to be just wishful thinking.
The crisis of the Holy See of Gaia began when he was established. Obviously, when false learning developed in this world, the relevant social theories did not develop with it.
Compared with Hermes' past annihilation, this time it was completely different because of the Seven Sages. Not only was the annihilation terminated early, humans also quickly re-established a political power, and even many technologies were retained.
In contrast, in the past, after Hermes stopped annihilating the world, the cause of the greatest casualties was the post-disaster survivors competing for the remaining resources and the state of a collapsed and disordered world, which would lead to a further decline in the already small population. .
In normal history, after human beings experience extinction, their civilization will fall back to the Bronze Age or even the Stone Age, and then through the books left over from the past, the lost glory of human civilization can be rediscovered bit by bit.
Then came the long war for hegemony between empires, until the level of civilization reached the cordon of Hermes, and then the thousand-year annihilation began again.
However, the emergence of the Holy See of Gaia prevented this from happening. Therefore, the recovery of human civilization this time is completely different from the previous annihilations.
One of the most important differences is that because of the stable political power and advanced technology, during the recovery period after the destruction this time, the population recovery and growth rate was too fast, which was not at all what a Bronze Age civilization should have been.
After all, although most of the false learning was buried, technologies such as agriculture and medicine continued to be used by the Holy See of Gaia in the new era.
The reason why it is said that while the world is developing fake learning, social awareness in the liberal arts has not kept up, this is reflected from this.
The core personnel leading Gaia's Holy See seem completely unaware of the consequences of having Industrial Age fertility and agricultural and medical technologies while maintaining agricultural Age productivity in other levels of society.
What makes the situation even worse is that in the south under the rule of the Holy See of Gaia, although there are noble kingdoms in various places, they are all led by the Holy See of Gaia, and basically there will be no large-scale conflicts.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no war at all. When the conflict between two noble forces cannot be resolved, the Holy See of Gaia allows them to engage in noble war.
First, a war permission needs to be submitted to the Holy See of Gaia. Then the two sides agree on the time and place of the battle. Even the number of troops and the proportion of arms must be explained in advance. Finally, the war will be conducted under the witness of the Holy See of Gaia.
The reason why military disasters are disasters for ordinary people is that after the defeat, the defeated troops looted everywhere. The victorious army can also let the people of the country experience what it means to be destroyed in one fell swoop.
However, under the interference of the Holy See of Gaia, it is impossible and dare not for the war in the new era to affect ordinary people outside the battlefield. Therefore, it is almost impossible for such a war to cause large-scale impact and damage to the population.
The ultimate result of this is that the world's overall productivity has regressed to the agricultural era, but the population growth rate is still at the level of the industrial era.
So the Malthusian trap, which is only theoretical, has really appeared in the south of this world, and the speed is unprecedentedly fast.
The pressure of population on the land is increasing, and there are more and more poor people who have nothing. The once peaceful South has also begun to experience turmoil.
Of course, this is not a sudden crisis, but emerges little by little as the population grows. However, people of insight in various countries have keenly observed this and realized that if some changes are not made, big problems will occur sooner or later if this continues. .
At that time, a terrifying storm will erupt. Regardless of whether the storm is victorious or not, the entire South will be plunged into a terrifying impact of blood and fire.
So a question of life and death was placed in front of all the rulers of that era. What should we do in the face of this situation? What can we do?
Some are extremely unreliable methods, such as issuing a birth control order, or sending all excess children to churches, etc. Some people even propose artificially reducing the population.
But the Holy See of Gaia, which has spent hundreds of years in peace, is no longer the organization founded by the Seven Sages in the apocalyptic era and capable of completing the unprecedented population migration.
The Holy See of Gaia, which has been freeing Nanshan for hundreds of years, now has such pathetic organizational power. If it really takes these measures, the only possibility is to detonate disaster in advance.
Among these unreliable measures, the only more reliable plan comes from the princess of Jingyao Kingdom. She believes that the only way out now is in the north, which has been abandoned for hundreds of years.
Princess Jingyao pointed out in her speech that the warm and prosperous south is the promised land, and only pious people can live here. So how to judge a person's piety? Of course, the more noble the blood, the more wealth, the more pious.
The ungrateful people are naturally the scum of society. The only way out is to go to the north and free up the little space in the south for the devout.
This method is undoubtedly very bold, and it wants to break the centuries-old ban of the Gaia Holy See, but the Gaia Holy See has given tacit approval to this.
After all, although today's organizational power is quite tragic, there are still many people within the Holy See who are very clear-headed and know that in the face of today's surging social crisis, even the old rules must try to break through.
In this way, with the cooperation and acquiescence of many forces, Princess Jingyao successfully launched her own plan to allow mankind to return to the Northland, which had been abandoned for hundreds of years.
Those colonists who were forced to go north naturally did not include nobles and powerful businessmen, or even people who lived relatively well-off lives.
The colonists were mainly composed of the dregs of society such as beggars, vagrants, disabled people, mentally ill people, and criminals. They obviously did not go to the North voluntarily.
Most of these people are from the crisis brought about by the continuous development of society over the past hundreds of years. After all, the land carrying capacity in the south is gradually approaching its limit.
What's more, some nobles are like dogs, enclosing large areas of wasteland as their own hunting grounds, and are determined not to let the landless people cultivate it.
The Holy See of Gaia has no good solution for this. After all, they are no longer the Holy See in the apocalyptic era. They have a lot of shit on their butts, and they can't be too harsh on this matter, so in the end they can only suffer the people.
In the original work "Wind Fantasy", humans' return to the Northland was described in a very Japanese-comic-like way, saying that it was in pursuit of a better life.
In the changed "Red and Blue Star", there is actually not much difference in the core, but there are some differences in the process.
