Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2244
At this moment [Wang Weiguo] suddenly stood up, and then saluted respectfully.

Then he asked a question.

He said: "Old Zurong, in this case, population is the root of everything."

"That is to say, the more people there are, the more luck we have, is that true?"

"Yes, that's right, that's right." The Holy Land Patriarch looked at him kindly.

It's like looking at your own good grandson.

In particular, the good grandson has self-castrated himself, so he doesn't have to take care of his grandson's immature son in the future, which makes him happier...

"If that's the case, then why don't civil servants or us practitioners concentrate on developing technologies that can greatly increase food production and increase population."

"Why don't we vigorously build water conservancy?"

"Why don't we make great efforts to improve better seeds and land cultivation, instead they regard it as a cheap industry. At most, we think it is very important to build water conservancy."

"But I don't think that's so good. On the contrary, it's the noble officials of the Imperial Academy that they are after?"

The Patriarch of the Holy Land smiled and said, "Hehe, good apprentice, how do you know they didn't do this?"

"They are also building various dikes and dams every year, and they also arrange amulets to protect the wind and rain."

"But," [Wang Weiguo] shook his head, "They can obviously do better."

"Now they can exert a lot of strength, but they only contribute a little."

"That is to say, they will only build some water conservancy projects and engage in water control."

"They made some agricultural tools to guide agricultural production, but they didn't really urgently regard the affairs of the common people as their own affairs."

"It can be seen from the fact that they make those artisans into pariahs."

"They divide the people of the world into scholars, peasants, businessmen, and craftsmen have never been valued, only called to come and go."

"Every time a big job is done, many craftsmen are killed or injured at every turn, and they don't care."

"It's like the imperial inner court seen by the apprentice. There are more than [-] kinds of excellent agricultural tools and more than ten kinds of excellent varieties, but no one promotes them, or even if they are promoted for a while, they are only used in a small amount."

"And those craftsmen were cruelly squeezed, and they were often called to repair their own mansions. They didn't give money, they only gave some food, and even more, they didn't give food, they were just requisitioned servants..."

"So that the artisans fled one after another, and even fled to the barbaric tribes, the barbarians valued the artisans instead, making them masters, marrying them, and giving them official positions..."

He was actually talking about the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

To a large extent, the failure of Ming Dynasty was a complete fester.

To the craftsmen is low, and the deduction of food is the same as making guns. If you are in the Ming Dynasty, you have to deduct the funds and let you pay for it yourself; but if you escape to the Qing Dynasty, you can be the master and give the servants the land and the official position.

In Daming, you, a craftsman with no reputation, want to be an official?
You have to be cunning enough and have enough money.

It is impossible to rely on technology to become an official.

This is also why Ming's firearms should be stronger than Man Qing's, but in actual combat, it was Man Qing who destroyed Ming's lineup with cannons...

Daming's firearms and artillery played a key role a few times.

Hear [Wang Weiguo]'s words.

The Holy Land Patriarch was silent.

Then he said, "Actually, I understand what you mean."

"You mean to say that everything should be centered on the people, and everything should be aimed at increasing the number of ordinary people. Is that what you mean?"

At this time [Wang Weiguo] said, "Well, that's what I mean, Patriarch, Patriarch is wise."

"Okay, you don't need to flatter. In fact, they discussed your issue earlier, and some people have deduced it later."

"Then why is it like this now? What's going on?" [Wang Weiguo] asked again in doubt.

"Do you know that if you do it according to your method, everything will be centered on the people, and the output of the people will be increased as much as possible." The ancestor of the Holy Land said slowly,
"What you call using techniques to increase the number of people."

"For example, the skills of farming, and these water control skills, such as vigorously improving the status of craftsmen, such as increasing the enthusiasm of craftsmen to create..."

"What will happen at the end?"

The Holy Land Patriarch looked at the disciples.

Some disciples were confused.

Someone suddenly.

【Wang Weiguo】belongs to the half-sudden category.

The Holy Land Patriarch smiled slightly, very relieved.

"There will be a situation where the common people don't need or rely on us practitioners."

"do you know?"

"The people have their own skills and the power to survive, so they no longer need to rely on us practitioners." The ancestor of the holy land repeated.

At first [Wang Weiguo] actually didn't fully understand what it meant, but after listening carefully, he suddenly understood what this old ancestor meant.

Suddenly realized.

The ancestor smiled slightly: "What I mean, you understand."

"Understood." [Wang Weiguo] felt very sad.

Just like modern society, all ordinary people eat fat and big ears.

Who needs some fairy to help them get fed?
Who needs some fairy to help them get by?
Do you need any more emperors?

They are not needed.

All you need is science and normal business rules, as long as you don’t make troubles, and you don’t make troubles yourself, you just need to follow normal education and normal technological development.

For the first time, the common people were safe and sound, and they could eat and clothe themselves without any worries.

Everyone praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is more about seeking peace of mind, and praying for diseases that cannot be cured by themselves.

Then it is to seek a long life.

But the problem is coming.

Do immortals give ordinary people immortality?
Impossible, they themselves still need luck to cultivate and live forever.

Who would use up luck for ordinary people to seek longevity?

In this case, that is to say, once this agricultural society and feudal society advance rapidly, it becomes an industrial society and enters the age of science and technology, of course the population can increase rapidly.

From a mere five or six billion people to more than a billion people, in fact, it has only tripled.

For example, in the agricultural society there were 5000 million people, but in the industrial society there were 14 billion people.

It has more than tripled.

And when it comes to industrial society, it starts to decline.

No one can stop it.

This is what [Wang Weiguo] saw with his own eyes.

Even the best measures are useless.

Because the labor force training cost in the industrial age is too high, mainly time cost.

And no matter how powerful the forces give ordinary people preferential treatment, it is impossible to give you precious resources of time.

For industrial people, time is the most precious thing.

The population has tripled, and luck has tripled.

But the common people's dependence on the gods has dropped to one percent of the original.

In the feudal society before, it was clearly stated that theocracy belonged to one of the three mountains.

And in the industrial society, who can theocratic power suppress?

No one can suppress it.

In fact, everyone just wanted to worship God, more for a psychological comfort.

This is different from now.

Now really, no ordinary people are allowed to go to temples to burn incense and pray for gods and immortals.

Otherwise, the gods can't remember who worshiped every day, but they can remember who didn't worship every day...

The latter is less, so it is easy to remember.

It is also easy to punish.

The gods only occasionally reward the most pious.

But for those who never pray, it is punishment.

So there is no need for rewards, as long as there is no punishment, the common people will have to worship immortals.

Those pious prayers existed in the agricultural and feudal times.

If these cultivators, let's say help the common people, they will enter the industrial society.

They must not sincerely worship Buddha and seek immortality.

Human beings are such realistic beings.

Never mind the great kindness.

As long as you are useless, there is no discussion about abandoning you.

Will it not be abandoned in a few days, or in a few years?
If you don't abandon it for a few years, how many generations can still respect you as a useless person?
Even among those devout believers in modern times, how many of them really donated their entire net worth to the gods?

But at this moment, many people really gave their wealth to the gods.

Then just be a housekeeper.

This has the advantage that it can avoid the oppression of feudal imperial power and gentry power.

At least the gods don't care about the field, they care about the incense.

You can have more children, and you can still do it under the protection of the gods.

This is mutual restraint and mutual checks and balances.

Therefore, if it comes to modern society, then these luck, a large amount of luck will not be easily harvested by this practitioner.

Nor will it be deprived in vain.

That's why they don't try their best to help the people enter the industrial age and enter the technological age.

In fact, with the experience and vision of these practitioners, they are completely able to find the opportunity.

In fact, it's just that one pass.

Because of insufficient demand, because of introversion and closure, and because there is not enough outward-looking economy, Dagan has always been a feudal society and cannot jump into an industrial country.

He completely understood.

[Wang Weiguo] Sigh.

There is a benign parasitic relationship between practitioners and ordinary people.

In other words, the parasite is a practitioner.

They are very interesting.

Unlike roundworms, they can only drill around, and they don't know that they will die if the host dies.

Practitioners know it.

They will neither let the host die, but also help the host clean up the three highs, and at the same time, they will not make the host too wise and powerful.

If it is too strong, the host will eat some insecticides to kill them if they find that they will not get fat no matter how much they eat.

Yes, the immortals, gods, and Buddhas who seem to be high above are worms!

It's a real insect, nothing else.

At this moment, Wen Rensheng's alien species suddenly became turbulent.

Wen Rensheng was overjoyed.

Yes, the chess pieces are useful.

It seems that he has found an opportunity to improve his mystery.

Sure enough, we still have to cast the net widely.

And you can't just go down by yourself.

As soon as you go by yourself, those guys will shrink back, and the real mystery will not be exposed.

[Wang Weiguo] After I understand, I am ready to sit down.

But suddenly, another classmate with a folding fan and a temperament like Wolong said
"If that's the case, then we can develop more fairy arts..."

"For example, use those techniques of cultivating immortals to make precipitation arrangements for the common people."

"Regular precipitation increases production and prevents drought and flood disasters."

"Another example is being able to check good and evil, and another example is being able to detect whether someone is saying bad things behind the scenes?"

"These celestial arts have developed, so they will be more dependent on us," said Wolong student confidently.

[Wang Weiguo] I have nothing to say.

This classmate is not a simple practitioner.

He wants to simply develop the technique of miracles.

So at this time [Wang Weiguo] just nodded and praised this classmate.

The ancestor of the Holy Land said happily: "Well, that's right, you have a very good idea, kid."

"This is exactly what our lineage of Xianshu wants to do."

"It's just that there are too many types of development."

"Basically, this is done by some old people who don't see a bright future in cultivation."

"And they have developed a lot of fairy arts before. They are all for saving the world."

Thinking of this, [Wang Weiguo] said again: "In this case, it's just the same sentence, interest entanglement."

"Yes, this involves competition with the interests of those civil servants."

"People among them basically follow the divine way and luck."

"Cultivate luck to become a god, and combine to become a god."

"It is rebirth after death, and the Yin spirit becomes a god with inspiration, response and worship of incense."

"We are walking the immortal way, that is, the main practitioner was alive."

"They practice after death, the difference between one is before life and the other is after death."

[Wang Weiguo] nodded again.

He opened his eyes.

"It turns out that these civil servants are not afraid of death. They insist on gaining fame, just to see that they can have a reputation after death. If they have a reputation, they will have incense and become gods."

"And those ordinary people are desperately trying to have babies, which is exactly what the family needs for reproduction, and it is the request of the ancestors."

[Wang Weiguo] completely stunned.

"Most middle, so all these immortal cultivation technologies we have developed cannot be used."

"On the contrary, we still have to use these fairy arts to fool the common people, just make do with the growth."

"Water conservancy is also just enough, no big troubles, no small troubles."

The crowd was silent.

Everyone has become invisible.

Because this is outrageous.

Some words can not be said.

To say it is insane.

The current [Wang Weiguo] is such an idiot.

"That's right," the ancestor of the Holy Land praised him instead, "Whether civil servants or immortals, they will find a way to treat these spells as their own, so the two sides compete with each other."

"In this day and age, civil servants and gods like to draw the ground as a prison, firmly controlling the people in their own place, and let the place worship incense for themselves."

"But the immortals hope that all the common people can give me luck, so that luck will flow automatically."

"It's up to us to divide, and then absorb and practice."

"So the yin gods and immortals are always in this kind of internal friction.

【Wang Weiguo】Nodding again.

"So, the kind of increase in food production you want to talk about is something we have been doing."

"The population of ordinary people has actually been increasing. You only know the population at the beginning of 5000 years, and the population was only 3 at the beginning."

"How many people are there now? The current population is about 180 billion."

"If it is said that we practitioners and those civil servant cultivators don't care about it, we feel that the technique is not suitable."

"If energy is not used to increase food production, and if water conservancy is not used to quell disasters, can the population still increase?"

"The population can't increase at all. The cultivators sheltered Daqian earlier, and it was the ancestor of the Mahayana period." The ancestor of the Holy Land sighed.
