Chapter 324 Class and Oppression

"My fists are not big enough, that's a flaw."

Zhao Si pondered:

"In this way, the heaven in the extraordinary world view has no basis for existence..."

"However, the class regime under the secular worldview does have a certain basis for existence..."

Power comes from force. The power of the extraordinary world comes from the personal force of the strong, while the power of the ordinary world comes from collective force.

The latter is specifically manifested in one group oppressing another group, that is, class oppression...

Thinking of this, Zhao Si couldn't help but look strange:
"It seems that Lin Liu can indeed create a new heavenly political system of class oppression, but if he does so, he will probably die from it..."

As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

The steamed bean curd with chicken crackling!
Class oppression will inevitably lead to class struggle... Once Lin Liu starts, his fate will be almost certain!
But if he doesn't do this, he can only follow the old path of the little black man here, either to start a rebellion, or to be forced out by the ministers and finally be removed from office.

If we practice some class oppression, we might be able to survive for hundreds or thousands of years longer!

Zhao Si had thought of other ways, such as having them work in three or five shifts, you work a few days, I work a few days...

But if you think about it carefully, these methods simply won't work, because the shift system in reality is based on wages, and wages are a basic need. Workers will starve to death without wages, so driven by interests, workers can accept shifts.

Lin Liu's side is a bunch of gods, he simply can't offer the basic salary. Not only do the officials get no benefits from going to work, but they have to spend time and energy on it. They are just paid slaves!
Could it be that such a beast of burden would feel better just because it had to work a few days less?

Obviously not. Cattle and horses are cattle and horses. Once they are cattle and horses, they will be cattle and horses for the rest of their lives. The problem has not been solved at all...

"Although it's not humane, it seems like this is the only thing we can do right now..."

Zhao Si sighed, and then input this inhuman class oppression life-extending method:

"Given the necessity of the existence of Heaven and the desire of all living beings for high welfare, if you want to continue the current prosperity as long as possible, you need class oppression..."

"The specific implementation method is to establish a ruling group of true gods with you as the core. Then the ruling group does not need to be treated like cattle and horses. It only needs to oppress other true gods who are not in the group and make them treat them like cattle and horses..."

"It doesn't matter if one person's force cannot suppress the others. All we need to do is unite the forces of the others to suppress the other faction..."

"The essence of class lies here. The rest depends entirely on your understanding..."

……

[The strategy from "your other self" emerges in your mind, and you digest it for a while...]

[You begin to sluggish...]

[You begin to hesitate...]

[You begin to grit your teeth...]

[In fact, you rejected it at first, but the more you thought about it, the more you found it very mysterious, as if there was a great truth contained in it...]

[“Done!”]

[In front of the confused Emperor of Heaven, you gritted your teeth and said, "Let's pull one faction together and fight the other!"]

[It goes without saying that the Emperor of Heaven is very smart. Just by listening to your simple description, he subconsciously made a calculation, and the result of the calculation is... yes! ]

[“Done!”]

[Two black-hearted slave owners hit it off on the issue of oppressing slaves like cattle and horses! ]

【…】

[In the first year of the new calendar, while you were establishing the new dynasty, you also enacted many welfare policies that had been cut or abandoned by the Heavenly Court.]

[Such a good policy with high welfare benefits naturally caused the whole nation to celebrate, and they shouted "The general's kindness is not over yet!"]

[However, no matter how loud they roared, they were just expressing their feelings verbally, while the officials of the Heavenly Court really wanted to repay the general's kindness...]

[If you make up your mind, just start doing it! 】

[In the second year of the Xinli calendar, you and the other eight banner masters, including Monkey, reorganized the Eight Banners and expelled all the mortals from the banners, causing the Eight Banners disciples to complain bitterly: Ever since my ancestors followed His Majesty the Holy Lord into the Pass, they have done all my work... Why should I be expelled from the banner? ! ]

[You ignored their protests and waved your iron fist, and these Eight Banners descendants who had been living off their ancestors' merits for several lifetimes were quickly kicked out! ] [This move made the other people excited and cheered: Good job! Not losing face! I have long been fed up with these parasites! ]

[You only smiled at this, and then incorporated the more than 800 True Gods under your command into the vacant Eight Banners, all led by the eight of you, the Banner Masters, forming a close-knit and powerful ruling class.]

[Afterwards, you aggressively recruited civilian monks to serve as Heavenly Officials. The civilian monks who longed for the organization and incense were overjoyed and signed up one after another. Soon, you recruited thousands of cattle and horses... no, Heavenly Officials! ]

[These ox-horse heavenly officials have no idea that they are ox-horses, and they are foolishly celebrating: Fortunately, the Holy Lord has expanded the recruitment this time, otherwise we still won’t be able to eat the emperor’s food…]

[From now on, you will be able to eat the emperor's food and have a guaranteed harvest regardless of drought or flood. Your future is bright! ]

[In this way, you and the Eight Banners will have stability and leisure. You only need to wait for the cattle and horses to become true gods, and then manage their work, and you can live freely. ]

[The monks and heavenly officials have been given positions and incense. If they work hard in the future, they will eventually become true gods. Immortality is no longer a dream! ]

[And ordinary people also got the high welfare they dreamed of...]

【Everyone has a bright future...】

……

In the general city.

Li Ziliang sat at home, listening to his great-grandson excitedly telling him about the elegant policies of the new dynasty:

"...Old Deng, your Heavenly Palace is really rich! It's nothing like our Great Xin Dynasty, where we have everything! Everything is good!"

"We have recruited several thousand celestial officials at once this time. With more manpower, our Daxin will surely prosper!"

"The general's kindness is not over yet!"

Ah!
Listening to the excited words of the younger generation, Li Ziliang curled his lips:
"It's still going strong... Just wait and see, that fellow Lin Liu will definitely kill me!"

As a former member of the Heavenly Court, Li Ziliang knew the difficulties of the Heavenly Court very well:
Doesn’t the Emperor of Heaven want to continue distributing benefits?

That’s simply because I can’t afford it!

After all, welfare is based on the heavenly officials acting like cattle and horses. The harder they work, the happier the mortals will be.

Perhaps there are really many people who are willing to serve the world for free for 120 years like Li Ziliang, just as a charity and a show of love.

However, there is no normal person in the world who is willing to generate electricity for love forever. Charity has its limits and love will also be exhausted.

Similarly, if Lin Liu wanted to use the gods as slaves, then his future fate would be almost certain...

In short: Lin Liu has already found his way to death!

"but……"

Li Ziliang hesitated again:

"He recruited several thousand people at once and left all the work to the newcomers. The 800 people in his Eight Banners headquarters seemed to have been freed..."

This operation seems strangely familiar.

Li Ziliang suddenly recalled the time when he was still the Emperor Taizu of Dashun:
Back then, it seemed that the high-ranking officials, nobles, and royal family members in the court only took benefits and did not do anything. Or if they did, they only managed the people working under them and did some undemanding management work at most.

The real governance of the localities depends on the middle and lower level officials in various places. They are the oxen and horses that run errands for the people. They just talk at the top and run their legs off at the bottom...

"Could it be..."

After all, he was once an emperor. Li Ziliang gradually began to understand what was going on. The disdain on his face gradually turned into surprise.
If he continues to do this, he only needs to maintain the relative advantage of his own strength, and then arrange the upward channels so that the slaves below can really join the exploitation group.

This completes the positive cycle... It seems that it is not impossible to maintain the rule for a long time...

It won’t really work, will it?

Li Ziliang is a little unsure...
