It's just a game, why did you dig up my grave?

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this.

He didn't expect Zhuge Liang in his shot form to think of this.

Appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He said calmly.

"The two are not in conflict."

"Do not conflict?

Why don’t enlightening people’s wisdom and ignorant people conflict? "

"Why can't you fool the people after you opened their wisdom?"

"what?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of questions.

Just listen to Chu Xuan continue to say.

"Liang, where do you think the information we come into contact with every day comes from?

It's nothing more than books, parents' teachings, teachers' teachings, hearsay, or decrees issued by the court.

This information constitutes a person's cognition.

I compare these perceptions to a circle.

Ordinary people had no access to education.

Even the only way to know the imperial decrees was through the oral accounts of local officials.

Their circles are smaller. "

Chu Xuan drew a small circle on the paper with a brush.

Then draw a larger circle outside the small circle.

Chu Xuan clicked the tail of the brush on the larger circle outside.

“The idea we want to reach their minds is very simple.

Just issue the decree and have local officials repeat it endlessly.

Plus enough scary punishment.

Over time, these ordinary people will act in accordance with the law subtly.

And channeling their emotions is even simpler.

Because there is only one channel left for ordinary people to get information, and that is hearsay.

This is best controlled.

Combining the two methods can easily achieve the purpose of influencing and controlling people's thoughts.

Ensure the stability of governance.

Just like the big circle drawn outside the small circle for the teacher.

The more ignorant the people are, the smaller the inner circle will be, and the outer circle will not need to be drawn too large.

It will save you a lot of trouble.

Make the inner circle as small as possible, which is the method of most feudal dynasties.

Let the people be uneducated and become machines that only know how to plow the fields and give birth.

While improving national strength, it can also reduce the cost of ideological control.

The more ignorant the people are, the easier it is to control.

This may not be a good idea when productivity is low. "

After saying this, Chu Xuan tore up the paper in front of him.

He took out another one and drew a larger circle.

"To develop people's wisdom is just to make the circle wider.

After all, it is still a circle.

The fundamental reason for developing wisdom for the people is to better provide nourishment for the country.

With the development of science and technology, ordinary people without any knowledge are unable to do even the most basic technical work.

You can only sell your manpower.

This is not what the Dynasty wants to see.

What a technological country needs is a literate workforce.

Kaiminzhi can classify these labor forces.

Extremely smart and talented people among the people enter the field of scientific research.

Then go down in sequence.

In addition, the channels for ordinary people to obtain information opened by Minzhi are still limited.

Although they become smarter, we can use smarter means to guide their thinking.

to serve the interests of the dynasty.

This is also a kind of stupidity.

It's just that the cost is higher.

But it is within the acceptable range given the productivity brought by high technology. "

Speaking of this, Chu Xuan didn't know what he thought of.

There was a look of memory in his eyes.

He thought for a while before continuing.

“The ignorant people after enlightenment are different from those in ancient times.

Pindao prefers to call it an ideological war.

For example, I once visited a country as a teacher.

This country takes freedom and equality as its core ideas.

Everyone in the country will shout for freedom and equality.

If there are other countries that compete with it.

The media in this country will produce a lot of news from all angles, whether true or false.

The core of these news is lack of freedom and inequality.

After seeing these news, many people in their country will believe it to be true.

Generate hostility towards this competing country.

And attack the enemy from the moral high ground.

But, if you ask people in this country, what is freedom and equality?

But few people can answer it.

They only shout for freedom, but they don’t know what true freedom is.

I think I am a noble person, but I don’t know what noble means.

You say, how ironic is this?

Speaking of wisdom, the people of this country know a lot about physics, chemistry, biology and so on.

But do you think this country is deceiving its people or enlightening its people? "
