After a while, Li Yao shook his head and said, "I''m afraid we can''t make such a simple analogy. Even if an ordinary person''s strength is very weak, he is a" bony monkey ", but after all, the number of ordinary people is the largest. It''s not that he has the greatest squeezing value to gather sand into a tower and add up a little into a lot?"


    "It''s true in theory, but you''ve overlooked that there are costs in" squeezing. "


    Li Linghai said, "when the management cost greatly exceeds the value that can be squeezed out, this kind of squeezing is not cost-effective. It''s just like human beings can indeed use many secret methods to turn skinny monkeys into ferocious and strong biochemical war animals, but in fact no mine or army will do so. The cost is not cost-effective."


    Li Yaodao said: "human beings are not monkeys after all. The gap between the so-called" original people "and" real people "is smaller than imagined. I know that the Empire has countless cruel and extreme secret methods, which turn human beings into various deformed and ugly shapes, and even remove human organs and replace them with artificial limbs, just to make ordinary people more suitable for squeezing, Does her royal highness want to deny that? "


    Li Linghai said faintly: "do you think this is the so-called" squeeze "


    Li Yao said, "isn''t it?"


    Li Linghai said: "even if it is, it''s for the good of the original people. You should know that the industry of psionic puppets in the empire is highly developed now, and they can produce various kinds of puppets with low cost in large quantities. If the original people can''t catch up and don''t turn themselves into various deformed and ugly forms that can work efficiently, they will only lose in the cruel competition, To the end of starvation - not only themselves, but also their families.


    "In the history of the Empire, there are many such examples. Some mine owners were kind-hearted and didn''t strengthen and transform the original miners in time. As a result, the mining cost remained high and could not adapt to the fierce commercial competition. Finally, they went bankrupt and were swallowed up by others as a whole.


    "After others annex such mines, they often transport a large number of psionic puppets to replace human miners. Guess what happens to these human miners who are replaced by machines?


    "Therefore, it is for the sake of the survival of these primitive people at the bottom that the experts and scholars of the Empire racked their brains to develop all kinds of human body strengthening and mechanical transformation technologies, so that the primitive people have the ability to compete with the psionic puppets, and even have special abilities that the psionic puppets do not have. Up to now, they have saved most of the primitive people''s jobs and made them survive.


    "Most of the time, we can''t solve any practical problems just by virtue and kindness. Regardless of the actual situation, rashly raising the minimum wage standard and working environment will lead to the further deterioration of the living conditions of the people at the bottom. I don''t believe that as a God, you can''t understand such a simple truth."


    "Of course I understand."


    Li Yao gritted his teeth and said, "but this is not the reason why you can transform a living person into a steel spider. Everything has a degree. Your imperial authorities are totally irresponsible and push the people at the bottom into cruel competition. It''s too much!"


    The Queen''s eyes flashed, and she even stepped back: "maybe you are right. The Empire really has a great responsibility for the lowest class people, but the premise is that first of all, there must be a strong central government, which has the ability to directly control the policies of every great world, every resource planet, every family and sect. If the" government order does not produce the "Celestial Star", then it will be OK, It''s useless to talk about any spirit or idea.


    "In a word, this is not the focus of our discussion today. The point is that compared with the lower level practitioners, primitive people are bony monkeys. Those high-level practitioners, that is, the powerful and powerful people, are not very interested in directly oppressing the primitive people at the bottom.


    "On the other hand, the human Empire has ruled the Xinghai sea for thousands of years. For thousands of years, Xiuxian Avenue has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even the original people deeply believe in the theory of" the law of the jungle "and regard Xiuxian Avenue as the principle of nature.


    "In this state of existence, the original people will not complain too much about their own fate. Who calls them too weak? Accustomed to their own weak, there will not be too much hope, the vast majority of the original people all accept life.


    "Most of the time, human happiness does not depend on material, but on mentality. Believe it or not, there are mature and stable social operation rules in many highly developed countries in the Empire. A sample survey of the original people there shows that their happiness index is not low.


    "Most of the original people feel that life is just like this, and they should be satisfied. Compared with the war years, the ancient Xiu era, the 30000 year dark age ruled by the demon clan, or the miserable life under the rule of the covenant alliance, their fate is much better now - therefore, the starlight organization has been struggling for hundreds of years, and has not caused much trouble.


    "Of course, you can think that this is the result of the long-term brainwashing of the Empire. I don''t want to argue with you. I just want to tell you a fact.


    "The fact is that the original people are not the class who are most dissatisfied with the status quo and want to change their fate in the Empire - they are really under the deepest oppression and are most aware of the fact that they are" oppressed ". Those who have enough wisdom, courage and even fighting power to change the status quo are the middle and low-level immortals in the period of gas refining, foundation building and even a part of jiedan!


    "Isn''t that hard to understand?


    "If you are an Aboriginal miner, the most serious" squeeze "you encounter is nothing more than working all your life in a dark mine. Unless you encounter an accident such as a mine explosion, you can always save your life. If you don''t have to, you won''t be asked to go to the battlefield. Just these" bony monkeys "are cumbersome when you go to the battlefield.


    "What''s more, you don''t have the chance to receive enough education to make you realize your destiny and pain. Many times, if you don''t realize the pain, there will be no pain, right?


    "But the bottom cultivators are different.


    "The" squeeze "they have to bear is most likely to be a fight between them in a fragmented world and monsters that will not appear in nightmares. Every minute, they may be swallowed by monsters. For a year and a half, they will be slowly melted by the acid in the digestive tract of monsters, and they will not die until the last month.


    "Yes, there are many irregular small mining sites in the remote world of the Empire. Work safety is a problem, and mining accidents are frequent - but the death rate of miners is no higher than that of those who cultivate immortals on the ground floor on the battlefield.


    "On the other hand, even those who have just awakened to Linggen and are at the bottom of the first level of Qi refining have enough wisdom to think about their own society, their own future and the whole world!


    "You know, in the traditional education of the Empire, the" cultivators "were regarded as the supreme masters of the country and civilization. All the middle and low-level cultivators had high expectations of themselves. They were all full of blood, ambition and ambition. When such cultivators realized that they were just tools to be squeezed, Can you expect them to be as cool as they are? "


    Li Yao was deeply attracted by what Li Linghai said.


    In the past, he regarded the cultivators as a piece of iron and treated them as the same interest group, but he never tried to consider the problem from such an angle.


    After careful consideration for a moment, he slowly shook his head and said, "no, the original miners worked to death in the dark mines, and there was no hope at all. But the Empire did not have a very advanced" contribution point "system, which was known as" regardless of origin, the strong are respected ", to ensure the smooth passage of the ascent?


    "Every immortal who fights with fierce beasts in the fragmented world has a chance to get a lot of" contribution points ". After exchanging the contribution points, he will gradually upgrade, and he will always have a chance to become a super strong man. As for those who die on the way, according to your theory, they can only admit their bad luck, but they can''t blame others."


    Li Linghai laughed: "the contribution point system, which is known as absolute fairness, is an unimpeded upward channel? I don''t even believe this slogan. Do you believe it? "


    Li Yaofei blinked: "I don''t believe it, but... Please explain it in detail."


    "In the final analysis, it''s still the problem of cake making and cake sharing. When it''s on the rise, the bigger the cake is, the more you can divide it naturally. But once the cake reaches its limit, or even slowly shrinks, the more you can divide it evenly."


    Li Linghai sighed, "the millennium development history of Human Empire can actually be divided into two 500 years.


    "In the first five hundred years, the Empire occupied the center of Xinghai and rapidly expanded in all directions. Almost every year, it found a new world, won battles every year, increased new territory, new population and various resources every year, and constantly formed new crystal armor regiments and Xinghai fleets. Naturally, these territories, regiments and fleets were accompanied by a large number of official positions and opportunities.


    "At that time, the ascent channel of the middle and low-level practitioners was really smooth. As long as they dare to fight and have a little luck, the unknown people of yesterday''s birthplace will have the chance to become famous and powerful people. With the accumulation of countless resources, they will become powerful people


    "It was a golden age when the Empire was vigorous, enterprising, and thriving. Interest groups had not yet solidified, and class mobility was very strong. Indeed, as you said, the middle and low-level cultivators were very keen to participate in various wars and earn contributions. Even if they died in the most painful way, they could only blame themselves for their poor academic skills and would never blame others, I don''t blame those high-level practitioners for "oppressing" them.


    "But


    "Almost five hundred years ago, the territory of the human Empire has expanded to more than 90% of today''s, reaching the limit of" cake "expansion. After that, the situation will be very different."
