Liu Jingxuan shook his head in disbelief. This statement exceeded his knowledge. He said in a deep voice: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Are you saying that even the Yellow Emperor is not a person, but just a name?"
Liu Yu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, just like the emperor, emperor, and overlord, they are just titles for rulers. There are no people in the world who can live for hundreds or thousands of years. They are either gods or immortals."
Monsters, but there are dynasties that last for hundreds or thousands of years. As long as this tribe, or this tribe exists for the Lord's world, the ruler can use a name, just like our rulers now.
He uses the title of emperor, but the dynasty has changed from the Qin Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. If it were changed to ancient times, it would be almost the same as changing from Yao to Yu."
Liu Jingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "But Yu's father is not called Yu, he is Gun. These are two clear people. Moreover, ancient books say that Shun's father is clearly from Qiongchan, and it has been passed down for many generations.
As for people, we have just arrived at Shun."
Liu Yu smiled slightly and said: "At the time of Shun, because he succeeded Yu immediately, it may have become a personal name instead of a title of ruler. As for Yu, because his son Qi founded the family after the death of father and son.
The model of the world, so you also have to record the names of your father and grandfather, but even earlier, those records started by the Five Emperors are no longer testable. From the Yellow Emperor to Yao, there were only three to four generations of emperors, but there was a long gap.
Two or three thousand years, do you think this is possible?"
Liu Jingxuan scratched his head, scratched his hair, and said thoughtfully: "Listening to what you said, it really is the truth. Only descendants will record and inherit their ancestors. If they are tribesmen, they are not their biological children.
Father, there is really no need to sing praises, you only need to offer sacrifices to the gods of your own tribe. In this way, only by creating a family and a world can we have this kind of inheritance and sacrifice."
Liu Yu shook his head and said: "That's not what you say, Ah Shou. In ancient times, because there were no written words, all records could not be preserved. The legends about ancestors and heroes were conveyed to the people through sacrifices by priests.
Descendants, over time, it has become a fairy tale. Because survival is not easy, and you have to fight against wild beasts and other tribes every day just to stay alive, so you have no time to take care of the past. At most, you need to rely on the blessings of the gods and hope to get external help.
Sometimes, I will think of these ancestors.”
"But it's different now. Now we have writing and printing methods. In the future, we can copy books in large quantities and teach everyone to read and practice calligraphy. Then these ancient histories can be interpreted in a new way.
Since Xia Houqi and even Dayu can forcefully push this concept of family and world to the tribal leaders all over the world, and then make them all accept it, and then make the people of all tribes in the world believe that this kind of blood inheritance is possible.
The divine nature is ordained by God, so it can only be accepted and surrendered. In this way, the previous system of abdication for thousands of years has been changed, and it has entered the era of the family and the world, so that today, they can do this, and so can I. If
I personally admit that the emperor is not the emperor, and there is no such thing as a herdsman. Everyone in the world is equal, but the division of labor is different. So what do you think, Ah Shou?"
Liu Jingxuan laughed and said: "Honestly, people in the world will think you are a lunatic, and then those who oppose you will find a new so-called man who is ordered by heaven to replace you. If you can't get people in the world, oh,
Or what you call the support of the people, it is very likely that his reputation will be ruined like Wang Mang."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Wang Mang and I are different. He wanted to be the emperor for eternity, so before he came to power, he behaved like a saint and had no desire for power. After he came to power, he unrealistically engaged in the restoration of kingship.
, he did not really treat the people well and return power to the people, but just used these means to attack the powerful landlords and strengthen his authority. In the end, he did not have enough talents to govern the world and could not suppress the powerful landlords.
Even the most basic survival of the people cannot be guaranteed, so it will fail."
"But I am different. I sit on the throne of emperor not to let future generations become emperors, but to truly ensure the interests of the people of the world. Before I sit in this position, I must let the grassroots of the world and the rural people
, the common people can be allocated the country's land, can farm and support themselves, and can have officials who are loyal to the country to manage the rural grassroots. There will no longer be a situation where the whole world cannot run without the aristocratic families and noble families. Only the world
The people understand that they can survive by relying on these officials from civilian backgrounds in their villages and towns. It does not mean that their life and death depend entirely on the emperor. Then the truths I want to express can truly
Only when it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people can the people of the world truly believe that it is the country, not the emperor, that ensures the operation of the world and their well-being."
Liu Jingxuan opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Yu, still shaking his head: "But, in this case, what is so special about people in high positions? If you say so, can you live without anyone?"
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "People in high positions must be responsible for supervising the operation of the entire country. They must formulate laws and regulations, encourage production and farming, be responsible for training the army to defend the country, and go out to fight against those who threaten the country.
Our foreign countries, which are safe, need to store food to prepare for famines and disasters, and organize the people to build bridges and roads, or dig canals, to maintain transportation around the world."
"In addition, we need to encourage people who have the ability and methods to improve their farming capabilities, so that the yield of farmland in the world can be further increased. Only in this way can more and more people no longer be limited to the land.
You can do things other than agriculture!"
"Ah Shou, think about it, if our ancestors hadn't distinguished the grains and invented farming, how would we have entered the agricultural era of settled farming? Look at those grasslands where people have no fixed homes, and they have to fight for a piece of pasture.
The barbarian tribes fight to the death. Isn’t this the happy life that our technological progress has led to?”
Liu Jingxuan kept nodding his head and said: "Yes, there is only one Jingkou in the world that does not need to pay grain taxes. If everyone can only need half of the people to cultivate the land, which is enough for the world to eat, then the rest of the people can
You have done a lot of things. My slave, these ideas of yours are really creative. You keep saying that you are a mortal, but I think you are the real son of heaven." (End of Chapter)
