Chapter 238 Different Civilizations

Seljuk Empire.

In other words, all Western countries are completely different from Chinese culture.

This point, in fact, has been different since the initial stage of civilization.

In China, as long as someone has learned the thousand-character prose, even if he (she) is a child of seven or eight years old, most of them can tell the allusion that the world is for the public and Yao and Shun surrendered.

Even if you haven't learned it, you've probably heard of it.

And what is the origin of this allusion?
Very simple.

In ancient times, people's livelihood was poor, and being a leader, that is, being close to the emperor, was not a good thing.

Unlike the later emperors who ate, drank and had fun, those leaders in ancient times were basically impossible to enjoy.

The leader is not a beautiful job, but a position with considerable responsibilities.

Compared with later emperors, many people at that time were not so enthusiastic about the highest position.

why?

Yes, it's easy.

Think about how Dayu became the leader, and you can understand it.

He was elected as the leader because of his meritorious service in water control, and he made great contributions without entering the house three times.

From this point of view, China's democracy should be earlier, and even more democratic than what some countries later promoted.

And those stories from the ancient times... that is, the drama of abdication, is the beginning of Chinese civilization.

Therefore, many people subconsciously believe that the government should make decisions for itself, and the emperor should seek development for the entire ethnic group.

This is the thinking of almost everyone in China, and it is also the usual practice of people in high positions.

If they don't do this, the metropolis will feel awkward, like a glow on their backs...

but.

Countries in the West and elsewhere have different beginnings of civilization.

And it's very different.

At the very least, other civilizations have not experienced a series of plots such as the first year of the Republic, the riots of the Chinese people, and the relationship between princes and generals.

In addition, among Chinese idioms, there are also many allusions that can be used as representatives.

For example, rest and recuperate, build water conservancy, build hometown, set up education, educate one side...etc.

These idioms are very representative.

Therefore, there may have been some emperors with bad brains, some vulgar ones, and some even dull and irritable ones...

However, they usually do some great things that benefit the country and the people.

For example, Emperor Hui of Jin's why not eat minced meat.

This sentence can be said to be silly and naive, it can also be said to be a cognitive error, or it can be said to be a bad brain, but whoever wants to say that his mind is impure, it is very wrong.

Emperor Jin Hui ate meat since he was a child, and minced meat is relatively the cheapest thing.

When the people of the country were suffering from hunger and cold, Emperor Hui of Jin subconsciously thought that he only needed to eat some minced meat to survive.

Is this wrong?

Obviously, this is just a cognitive error of Emperor Jin Hui. Maybe he can be said to be stupid, but it cannot be said that his starting point is wrong.

There are many more similar things.

This is because people in China generally believe that if those in power do not do something that benefits the country and the people, it is a violation of the destiny and cannot last long.

For example, the Mongolian Yuan Empire that has not yet appeared, but will rise soon.

Are they brutal enough?

Anyone who is higher than the wheel will die.

No matter how you look at it, it belongs to the behavior of animals.

and then?
After they entered the Central Plains, wouldn't they still have to do things like dredging the Yellow River, controlling floods, building water conservancy, and helping victims of disasters?

What you need to know is that the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties are not a branch. It is only the Great Khanate (Yuan Empire) that entered the Central Plains, and there are three other Khanates that are not weak.

Here comes the question, have the other three done something similar?
What a ghost they did!

After they took control of various places, what they did was very simple. They just asked some dog legs to help them collect taxes, while they themselves rode horses to hunt and kill people every day for fun.

If it really counts, the Grand Duchy of Moscow later gradually accumulated its reputation precisely because it collected taxes for the Khanate as a dog's leg, and this was the way to build an independent country when the Mongolian Yuan gradually declined.

Therefore, after careful investigation and comparison, Lin Dong soon stopped being angry.

He even felt that there was no need for him to be angry with this kind of guy who didn't even have a character name because his name was too long.

Too lost.

As the saying goes, if one rule works, then one hundred methods will work. After Lin Dong figured it out, he stopped being obsessed with the "tyranny" of the seventh prince.

After all, if you really want to compare, many of his brothers are worse than him.

At the very least, the Seventh Prince still has great popularity among Damascus and several surrounding cities.

And his other brothers...

Forget it!
The reason why the Eastern Expeditionary Army was able to take Nicaea so quickly, apart from having two or five youngsters leading the way, another very important reason was that the local people could no longer survive.

Some people may say that if you can't survive, you will rebel.

If you can break through the palace, then you can eat whatever you want?
Even if it failed, at least it didn't starve to death.

The problem is that differences in civilizations have led to serious ideological divisions.

In Huaxia, when it is impossible to survive, some desperadoes will choose to rise up.

But here, people will subconsciously think that they will never be able to defeat those high-ranking nobles.

It's not that they haven't thought of rebelling, but the problem is that they have almost never succeeded since history began.

The reason for almost is because there are still a few who almost succeeded, but they still failed in the end.

For example.

This is like the Three Kingdoms period that many people like.

if, just if...

If during the Three Kingdoms period, Uncle Liu Huang really stepped on the right historical node step by step, and finally won the world.

Then in the next many years, I am afraid that there will be no so-called rebels.

After all, the Han Empire was divided into east and west.

The beginning is the Western Han Dynasty created by Liu Bang, and then the Eastern Han Dynasty restored by Liu Xiu. If Liu Bei succeeds again, no matter whether he is called Nanhan or Jihan, in the eyes of the common people in history, I am afraid that the big Han will be invincible .

Fortunately, Huaxia has always had a successful history.

The Chinese riots in the Western Zhou Dynasty were successful.

The people at that time almost took Huaxia to another road.

This road will probably be full of resistance and riots.

At the end of this road, there may be another First Emperor, who will once again unify the world and centralize power.

Of course, maybe the people at that time would lead this civilization to a completely unknown path.

Afterwards, Chinese civilization also gave birth to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Although they lost their hearts in the end, Liu Bang, who won in the end, is still a model of success.

He even named Chen Sheng the king of Yin.

And after that, many people have succeeded.

For example, Cao Cao, the founder of Cao Wei.

Regardless of the record, the founders of Sun Wu, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan, are also in this category.

The subsequent Sui Kaihuang was also in this category.

After the world was in chaos, there was also the appearance of Li Tang.

……

This kind of thing has been repeated on the land of Huaxia.

Therefore, no matter how brutal those in power are, they will still appease the people who have suffered disasters.

In other civilizations, this set obviously did not catch on.

Lin Dong felt angry before, and it was completely unfounded.

After he figured it out, he stopped being angry, and at the same time, he was making the most of the system...checking in at every place in Damascus.
