Di Feiwen smiled slightly and said: "Rather than saying that the empire is a piece of scattered sand, it is better to say that the sea of stars is too vast and boundless.
In terms of the current technology of mankind, it is far beyond the limit that a unified government can effectively rule.
"My king, you should know that the reason why human civilization can be distributed in the three thousand worlds is not entirely due to our own conquests, but also the 'sowing' of Pangu civilization and Nuwa civilization.
In other words, we did not 'naturally' expand to Three Thousand Worlds was 'released' in a very short time with their help.
"Then, after the collapse of the Pangu and Nuwa civilizations and the destruction of all the communications and transportation they left behind, being 'disorganized and isolated' should be the norm, and any unified government or dynasty should be an exception.
"In fact, with the current level of technological and social development of human civilization, the limit is the limit for a central government to effectively rule a dozen or twenty worlds at most.
Speaker Ding must be deeply aware of this."
"That's right."
Ding Lingdang seemed to have thought of some troublesome problem, and frowned, "As far as our federation is concerned, even with advanced star sea jumping technology and ultra-long-distance communication capabilities, both jumping and communication consume a lot of resources.
Every day An astronomical number of crystals have been sent to various star ports and ultra-long-distance communication base stations, and then wasted in the ripples of psychic energy.
"Even so, the Federation is still beyond the reach of resource planets in remote star regions, and it is extremely difficult to implement effective rule.
Many times, it has to rely on local sects to maintain basic order.
Although such a sectarian management system is working well now, in time, when these sects, With entangled local connections and deep-rooted interests, who knows what will happen?
"Another one, the vastness of the universe and the power of human beings have caused the environment of habitable planets to be ever-changing, and even the subspecies of humans are ever-changing.
For example, there are quasi-primitive worlds like the Sea of Trees world, and heavily polluted worlds like the Netherworld.
In the wasteland world, management methods cannot be exactly the same.
Considering the different customs and customs, it is extremely difficult to achieve unified laws.
“Therefore, the current federation actually has a strong sense of regional autonomy.
"Even if more and more worlds join the Federation in the future, like the Ancient Holy World, because they are further away from the core area of the Federation, their environments and races are more complex, and it is basically difficult for them to be directly governed by the central government, there is still the possibility of regional autonomy. relatively high.”
When Ding Lingdang took over the "Patriot Organization" from Lu Zui, he was a staunch regional autonomist.
He believed that it was impossible for the federation to rely on a powerful army to rule the star sea, and could only spread the concept of cultivators throughout the universe.
Her views coincide with Di Feiwen's.
Di Feiwen nodded and said: "President Ding is right.
The problems you encounter are also the problems the empire encounters.
Although the empire is much stronger than the federation in terms of comprehensive national strength, it is not as advanced in terms of star sea jumping and ultra-long-distance communication technology.
There is no essential difference.
"If the federation can effectively rule ten worlds, then the empire's most powerful interest group, with the most advanced technology, can effectively rule twenty worlds.
Any more will be indigestible.
"Even the strongest and most ferocious dinosaurs continued to grow throughout their lives, and their size had limits.
An overly large empire would need to be ruled by an ever-expanding bureaucracy and army, but the expansion of the bureaucracy and the army would in turn The empire is sucked dry and crushed.
This is the case with the Star Sea Empire, so why not be the same with the Real Human Empire?”
Li Yao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Then use ideas to inspire you.
Don't the immortal cultivators in the empire also have the lofty idea of 'everything is for human civilization'?"
Di Feiwen also laughed: "The so-called 'noble ideas' are extremely rare luxuries found throughout the universe.
In this regard, everyone is half-hearted, so it is like 'the elder brother does not laugh at the second brother'!
"Just like in the Federation of Stars, although the propaganda calls cultivators as the 'swordsmen of human civilization' who fight to 'protect ordinary people', they can truly be unselfish, dedicated to benefiting others, and risk their lives." , selfless dedication How many cultivators are there?
My king, even you or Speaker Ding, do you really have no selfish desires at all?
If your Yaoshi Group is to be nationalized now, you will be indifferent and have no complaints at all. "?"
Li Yao and Ding Lingdang looked at each other and smiled: "There is no need to use big words to force us.
Of course we are not that noble.
Except for those puppets of the Holy Alliance, looking at the entire universe, who can have no selfish desires at all?"
"That's it."
Di Feiwen said, "In an ideal state, the war between the Federation and the Empire is a battle of ideas, a battle between good and evil, and a battle between 100% immortal cultivators.
But in fact, the two sides are There is a common enemy, not the Holy Alliance, but 'humanity'.
“Cultivation people have humanity, and immortality cultivators also have humanity.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This is the biggest difference between us and the Holy Alliance people.
"The first element of human nature is selfishness.
Genes are selfish and must be passed on at all costs.
This 'selfish gene' conflicts with the 'lofty ideals' of the cultivators, and the result is destined to be 'ideas'."
'A complete failure.
Li Yao asked with great interest: "How do you say it?"
"Theoretically speaking, there is no problem with the immortal cultivator's concept of 'survival of the fittest, the weak and the strong'.
As long as we can truly treat everyone equally and ensure the smoothness of the upward path and the harshness of the elimination mechanism, then it is fair.
But in real life, this is It’s simply impossible.”
Di Feiwen said, "Everyone is selfish, regardless of cultivators or immortal cultivators.
Even though immortal cultivators keep saying that 'any weak person who cannot awaken their spiritual roots, even their own heirs, will be mercilessly eliminated', but How many people can really do it with a heart of stone?
"What's more, in a world where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong, everyone is likely to betray you at any moment.
Those who are truly more loyal are your relatives and heirs.
Even the 'original people' who cannot awaken their spiritual roots can still Arranging some secret work and 'eliminating' one's own people in vain is not weakening oneself and taking advantage of others?
"Rules are set by people, and there are always loopholes that can be exploited.
Perhaps at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, this system was strictly implemented, but as time goes by, all the wealthy families have expanded rapidly, and they have become inexorably large.
It is simply a fool's errand to simply rely on the words "the weak and the strong" to achieve efficient allocation and utilization of resources. " Li Yao said: "Where is the emperor?
Doesn't the emperor have any objection to this situation where the nobles are self-reliant and the warlords are separatist?"
"Don't overestimate the emperor's power.
Not every emperor is the 'Black Star Emperor' of the past."
Di Feiwen said, "Even the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi still has to rely on many wealthy families that have been entrenched since the era of the Star Sea Republic to seize the hegemony of the universe.
"In the depths of the empire, there is even a very secret theory that the original Black Star Emperor was just a 'spokesperson' promoted by the old wealthy families of the Star Sea Republic.
In order to completely consolidate their illegal plundering interests, they created a The 'Emperor' came out, but this Emperor's ambition and power were far beyond their expectations, and he was a little out of control.
"Although the Black Star Emperor is out of control, his heirs are not so strong.
For thousands of years, these imperial giants have used various means to sow discord and create conflicts within the royal family.
They used the 'emperor' as bait to trigger internal strife among the Wuying clan. , taking the opportunity to consolidate his power and empty the entire 'Ji Tian Realm and Tian Ji Star'.
"Up to now, the four most powerful families have even been awarded the title of 'Emperor-Elect'.
Think about it, if even the emperor has to be selected by them, how can they be restrained?"
Li Yao sighed: "This seems to be different from the situation in the empire that Su Changfa told me in the past."
"Su Changfa is an academic.
He is a professor at the 'Imperial Colonization University'.
He was nurtured in the ivory tower.
Naturally, he fully accepted the empire's propaganda."
Di Feiwen lowered his head deeply and said, "My subordinate is a small businessman who worked hard at the bottom of the empire.
I don't know how it should be 'theoretically'.
I just take everything I see as it is."
Speak up.
"In short, when the Black Wind Fleet left the empire a hundred years ago, the situation in the empire was like this.
The dozen or twenty great worlds adjacent to the 'Ji Tianjie and Tianji Star' were nominally under the direct control of His Majesty the Emperor, and were directly dispatched by bureaucrats from the imperial court.
Of course, the intervention of the four major 'electorate' families is indispensable for the organization to govern it.
"The thirty or forty outer worlds are the hereditary territories of the four electorate families, and there are also some fiefdoms of royal families.
On average, each family rules at least seven or eight worlds.
Depending on the strength of their power, they only have to pay taxes to the court. and the obligation to send troops, it was difficult for the court to interfere in their internal affairs.
"The hundreds of great worlds on the outside are divided into even smaller pieces.
Basically, each great world has a ruler.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If some great worlds even have two or three habitable planets, each planet will have a ruler. , these people are either hereditary nobles or emerging warlords, Either they were the old rulers who voluntarily surrendered on the way to the Empire's conquest of the universe.
For example, when the Black Wind Fleet attacked, if the Federation chose to surrender, it is likely that several world leaders would be elected to maintain local autonomy.
This is not the Empire.
Being kind-hearted is simply what Chairman Ding said just now, and it is beyond the reach of the whip.
"The ruling methods of these peripheral worlds are ever-changing and you can do whatever you want.
They may not always be harshly suppressed.
There are also some worlds that will adopt tolerant policies and relatively mild ruling methods; but if they are cruel and unkind, their rule will be far more cruel.
It is better than those worlds under the direct control of emperors and the rule of elected emperors.”
