What kind of social structure is the most stable?
No one knows the answer to this question.
But practice has proven that the olive-shaped social structure is much more stable than the pyramid-shaped social structure. At the end of the dynasty, there is usually an extreme pyramid shape, so the ultimate destruction is brewing in it, and then destroys everything, overthrows everything, and becomes extinct. everything.
Start all over again, over and over again.
Everyone in the room slowly looked through the information in their hands. Some people had smiles on their faces, some people frowned tightly, some people looked more worried, and some people had murderous intent in their eyes, as if they were about to unsheath their swords and kill people in the next moment. .
"On the surface, scholars seemed to have great respect for their families, but in fact they began to cling to each other and become a family."
An old man said in a deep voice with a hint of worry: "These families are breaking through the academic barriers established by the family and mastering secondary interpretation rights.
In the past, when his elder brother Gongzi Jing was in the reign of Emperor Wen, he discovered vague signs of this matter. During the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, the army was greatly prosperous. These people did not show it on the surface, but in fact they had developed very strong. "
There was silence in the room.
During the Zhou Dynasty, there was a saying that the world's most talented people are worth one stone, the Luo Academy alone has eight fights, and the world's most talented people come from the Luo Academy.
But in the Han Dynasty, when the world was unified, Luoling knew that this would not work, so when the Han Dynasty wanted to establish the Taixue Palace, Luo actively supported the establishment of the Taixue Palace, because the world needed such a palace to gather talents. At the same time, it was also to sell the political doctrines Luo needed, such as the resurgence of Mencius.
But in this world, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. The establishment of Taixue Palace will definitely affect the status of Luo Academy.
But the impact before was still limited. After all, the Luo Academy was the place for enlightenment and sanctification, while the Taixue Palace was more like a place where people were gilded for the purpose of becoming an official.
However, the classics and the family were integrated together, and gradually formed a scholarly family similar to Luo's. This was a development direction that Luo had not expected before.
This trend was first discovered by Luo Jing during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen. After so many years, Luo has not been able to find a solution.
Because you can't stop parents from spreading knowledge to their children. The Luo family themselves spread family knowledge among the clan, otherwise it would be impossible for so many talents to emerge.
The gradual closure of Zhaocheng made this tendency more obvious.
To change this situation, the Luo Academy in Zhaocheng will be reopened, directly defeating the imperial court's official Imperial College, attracting students from all over the world again, and turning Imperial College into a place purely for political status.
"But these Confucian families are supporters of the family. They treat the family with respect and are beneficial to the world. The people of these Confucian families are talented and surpass those princes in governing the country.
And most of these people are admired by the world because of their outstanding talents and noble moral character. Although we know that these things will be lost sooner or later, we cannot kill our base now just because of things that may happen in the future. There is no such thing in this world reason. "
Any emerging class, when it first appeared, was full of vitality and justice, at least compared to the justice of the old world. The same was true for the Confucian family. Most of their rise was caused by a person who was extremely talented in Confucianism. , became a famous scholar in a short period of time, impressed countless scholars, and then through a series of propaganda that reflected his moral character, he accepted disciples, became an official, and passed on his legacy.
This way of rising through hard study and ensuring good moral character is at least much better than the nobles who rely purely on blood to become prominent.
It is a habit for a Confucian family from hundreds of families to respect Luo Shi, and it is impossible for Luo Shi to attack those who support him.
Luo Sheng frowned when he heard this and said: "But the Confucian classics family with a powerful background has fallen too fast!"
The origins of Confucian classics families are very mixed. They were founded directly by scholars from hundreds of schools of thought. The most common ones are Confucianists who focus on family traditions. For example, Confucius's Kong family and Mencius' Meng family are entrenched in Yingchuan County. The descendants of Xunzi include princes and vassal kings who were on the verge of losing their country. These people had fewer and fewer kingdoms and could not find opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so they transformed.
But the ones with the largest number and the biggest problems are the powerful people from all over the world. This group of people is a great danger in Luo's eyes. The powerful people are falling faster than imagined.
"The powerful are the most hostile to the family and the most powerful class. The most important thing is that they cannot be eliminated. Whether the family will fall into a war with the powerful and continue to consume them requires the collective decision of the family."
As soon as Luo Sheng said these words, everyone in the room began to think. Simply being strong is actually not bad. The key is to be powerful, just like leeks. Once you cut one crop, there will be another crop.
As long as there is rule, the emergence of powerful powers is inevitable. Don't say that the country's administrative capabilities are sufficient and that imperial power can be sent to the countryside to avoid this situation.
Innocent!
Anyone who has learned about organizational construction and organizational operation would not think so. The rulers at the top are not mentally retarded. With the emperor's greed for power, how could he give up power at the county and township levels?
Every emperor is thinking about increasing his power all the time. He doesn't do it because he can't do it and can't manage it. There is no vacuum in power, so powerful people appear.
As long as a powerful person appears, he will instinctively start to devour his surroundings and start to strengthen himself. In the process of strengthening himself, it is said that a horse will not grow fat without night grass, a person will not be rich without windfall, and the growth of any family will not be clean.
Even the growth of the Luo family, viewed from a higher level, is still the blood and tears of countless slaves, which is nothing to hide.
Strengthening oneself is to resist risks.
Who brings the risk?
The emperor, political opponents, other local powerful people, and rebellious people.
In this world, there are also Rocks.
The Luo family rose up with the rise of the Xia. More than a thousand years ago, they took advantage of the Xia and Yi divisions to complete a thorough accumulation. Over countless years, they completely put away their fangs and became a benchmark of morality.
But these newly established families do not have such a blessing, especially most of the powerful ones. There are no foreigners for them to squeeze. If they want to rise, they can only squeeze the common people of the Han Dynasty, but this is not allowed by the Luo family.
In the extremely backward era of Bangzhou, the Luo family never oppressed the Zhou people!
This is what gives Luo Shi the confidence to face everything calmly. It is normal for Luo Shi to become a thorn in his side by destroying people's wealth and killing his parents.
Everything will eventually fall on the powerful. The small powerful now, the big powerful in the future, the princes, princes, kings, and emperors are all powerful.
Everyone in the room thought of this, and inexplicable expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
"No compromise!"
A Luo woman said softly. Her face was very soft and she looked about thirty years old, but her figure was still slim. Her movements were full of intellectual beauty, but her words sounded firm.
"No compromise!"
Another Luo son said in a deep voice, "Chongzhi is Chongzhi, and the family has nothing to fear."
Luo Wuji lay on the bed and asked with a smile: "Now you are a powerful man, and in the future you may be a prince, a king or even an emperor. Are you unwilling to compromise?"
Following Luo Wuji's words, everyone seemed to see a lonely man in this world, but the powerful people in the world supported him, and countless people lived in blood and tears.
"I don't want to!"
Everyone looked at Luo Wuji and said in unison.
"Wouldn't the world understand that at the end of our upholding justice, we are lonely, hateful, confused, and have no regrets?"
The cold breath passed by, and everyone seemed to see the incomprehension of everyone in the world. They didn't understand why Luo Shi did this, it must be very lonely.
"No regrets!"
The crowd's voices became somewhat louder.
"People will die."
Luo Wuji didn't say that his direct descendants would die, but that ordinary clan members would die.
Everyone was silent now, and the Luo woman from before said in a low voice: "King Su will grant them eternal life. If not, I will die."
"good!"
Luo Wuji clapped his hands and laughed, and the atmosphere in the room became lively.
"O great and supreme King Su, will you be proud of the choice of your descendants?"
Luo Wuji looked at the void above the nine heavens and couldn't help but think.
Then a melodious voice came, and Ji Zhao's voice resounded in everyone's mind. This was the first time that he appeared in the minds of all the direct descendants of the entire family.
"Go ahead and do what you want."
Everyone in the room knelt down, and everyone was shaking with excitement.
In the void world, Ji Zhao looked at his descendants and could not help but admire again. He, a common man, had such a group of descendants. Sometimes looking at the pure souls and noble moral character of this group of people, he felt that he was really unworthy to stand. At the end of the family line.
This is not a difference in strength, but a difference in thinking.
What Ji Zhao can do is probably to study how to get more luck points and how to get more props. It is too difficult for his descendants to survive in that filthy world. As an ancestor, he must protect these children.
The further the world develops, the greater the restrictions in this world will become. This is not intentionally aimed at Luo Shi, but because Luo Shi has his own method, Luo Shi is the only one affected.
Ji Zhao understands that unless he becomes a god and replaces the heart of heaven with his own heart, he cannot change this trend, but there is a way to survive under restrictions.
Ji Zhao has decided to take the time to strip out the Purple Qi of Destiny from the heavenly artifact, the Heavenly Book, hoping to create several more useful artifacts for the family.
After all, the current earth-level artifacts are too auxiliary, and all of them are big fortune-hungry players, which is a bit bad.
