Chapter 776 Capital is nothing in front of imperial power
Chapter 776 Capital is nothing in front of imperial power
"You should be more aware of Daqin's situation than I am now. Daqin's existence is something I dare not even dream of, but you have made it a reality, it's just..."
After a little hesitation, Emperor Shihuang told Ying Yu that Daqin was able to have the scale it is today, and he was naturally very happy to see it.
But behind this prosperity, there may be huge problems.
The more prosperous it is, the greater the danger behind this may be.
What the First Emperor is worried about at this moment is the entire economic system of Daqin today.
After the agricultural planting became easier, basically most ordinary people have other ways to live besides agricultural production activities.
This also laid the foundation for Daqin's current prosperity.
Now it seems that the entire social economy of Daqin is diversified, but in the final analysis, these diversifications are only superficial manifestations.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is just different ways to make money.
This is indeed the case, as long as the people of Daqin are down-to-earth and willing to work, they will not worry about making money.
This is a good thing for the common people, but the first emperor saw the danger hidden in it.
Nowadays, almost all people in Daqin can earn money in different ways. With the slow development of society, it has only been a few years, and now the whole atmosphere of Daqin is completely different from before.
Nowadays, the people of Daqin have begun to gradually lose all their ideas in their minds. The only value they agree with is what can make more money?
No matter what kind of activity, as long as it can make money, people will definitely flock to it and do it at any cost.
However, the consequences of doing so have made many traditional and old industries almost uninterested.
Because these industries require a lot of time and effort to operate and learn.
Only when you have a certain degree of fire can you bring benefits.
In this era, such an industry has slowly been unable to keep up with the speed of progress.
So these industries are slowly being eliminated, but among these industries, many of them are very important.
For ordinary people, perhaps these industries are dispensable.
In the past, for people in these industries, they were just a means of making a living.
But if you have reached the height of the first emperor, you can look at these industries from this height.
That is completely different. These ancient industries with various complex traditions are precisely the media for the spread of Daqin culture.
Now these media are slowly fading and disappearing.
Because those who are still sticking to these industries can no longer keep up with the development of this era, and the speed of making money is too slow.
Among the people of Daqin, impetuousness has gradually been highlighted.
All people just want to get money quickly, and when they get enough wealth, they can enjoy their lives.
Few people have joined an industry since childhood, worshiped a master, and learned these skills from him attentively.
After he finished his studies, he used this ability to live, took in apprentices, and passed on this ability.
Although most of the young people in the new era still want to study and become officials in the court.
But in fact, apart from this, they already have many other options.
Daqin is very rich in various professions. As long as a person wants to do something, there must be something within his ability to do.
And these things can also bring him good income.
At least it guarantees that as long as a person is not very lazy, he will never worry about food and clothing.
These are the huge improvements that social development has brought to the lives of ordinary people.
But on the other hand, because there are too many choices, young people who have not experienced storms are already fascinated.
For these young people, no matter what they do, they can get a bite to eat,
Then why spend too much time and energy on learning skills that are difficult and not profitable.
The value orientation of the entire society has undergone some slight distortions.
Such a distortion may not be seen by ordinary people.
But the first emperor discovered the clues, and now the development of Daqin is moving in an impossible direction.
Although the first emperor had already noticed these problems, he couldn't tell how they were formed.
But when he said this, Ying Yu already understood.
In fact, the problems mentioned by the first emperor are indeed happening.
And before Ying Yu crossed over, he had really experienced these things.
This is an inevitable result of social development.
The forces behind the operations that Emperor Shihuang was worried about were actually the forces of capitalism.
Today's Great Qin is slowly developing towards such a society, where everything is controlled through the operation of capital.
The entire market seems to be multifarious, with various industries.
In fact, behind it is the operation of capital. If it goes on for a long time, the entire market society of Daqin will inevitably be controlled by those capital giants.
This is the inevitable result of uncontrolled development.
After all, the first emperor was a person of this era. Although he could sense something was wrong, he didn't know these things after all.
But Ying Yu was different, these were history for him, something he had already been familiar with.
So he already had countermeasures to deal with such a result.
In fact, when Ying Yu decided to let Daqin embark on the path of high-speed development, he was already ready.
Daqin has developed rapidly, but it is still the era of imperial power, and the emperor can change everything with one hand.
This is completely different from modern society.
In modern society, when capital develops to a certain level, even the state cannot forcibly reverse everything.
But in Daqin, it is completely different.
In Daqin, no matter how much wealth you have and how much money you control, it will not help at all.
As long as Ying Yu is willing, he can make you lose everything overnight.
This is imperial power.
This is also the root of Ying Yu's self-confidence and ability to control such a social form.
Even if it has developed to the point of complete collapse, Ying Yu can still use the power in his hands to maneuver against the current and set everything right.
The worst result is nothing more than overthrowing everything and trying to use a new system.
Such an operation is absolutely impossible in modern society.
However, it was impossible for Ying Yu to say these things.
Even if he said it, no one could understand it.
However, after thinking for a while, Ying Yu still didn't know what language to use in order to translate the modern society and tell the first emperor.
In the end, he still decided that it was really hard to say, so he will not say it for the time being.
So he adopted the old method to reassure Shi Huangdi that everything was under his control.
Emperor Shihuang just shook his head in slight embarrassment, "I really don't know where your self-confidence comes from!"
Ying Yu also gave a sneaky smile, "This will be kept secret for the time being."
