However, with the development of the situation, the situation gradually became clear. Zhu Yuanzhang developed slowly with the opportunity and strength, defeated other rebel leaders, dominated the world and became the founding leader. Is Zhu Yuanzhang a good emperor? There is no denying that he is an emperor who is very kind to the people, and he has no mercy on corrupt officials. However, as a result, we also know that when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, corruption wave after wave, and it intensified after Zhu Yuanzhang. Finally, the Ming Dynasty repeated history and was destroyed by rebels in Li Zicheng.
This illustrates several problems. First, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, but his successor was not. Zhu Yuanzhang sympathized with the people, but his successor would forget their origins. Moreover, once they became the ruling class, even if they rebelled for the common people, they now actually became no different from the previous government. In the final analysis, the country is still ruled by the bureaucracy, but there is a new emperor and some officials.
Does Zhu Yuanzhang want to maintain political power for a long time? I thought about it. Therefore, he first abolished the prime minister system and took power, then learned the lessons of the previous dynasty, cracked down on corruption, benefited the people and prohibited eunuchs from taking power. He believes that this will ensure the durability of the system. However, he lost cleanly, and he can use his power to achieve everything he wants. But he forgot that it was his privilege that made the bureaucrats unscrupulous, officials unsupervised, the rights and interests of ordinary people not guaranteed, and natural contradictions would intensify more and more until the reshuffle.
How can we jump out of this strange circle? Dynasty-corruption-uprising-dynasty-corruption-uprising. This strange circle has been circulating. It was not until modern times that this problem was gradually solved. That is, through democratic means, the whole bureaucratic class is placed under the supervision of ordinary people. The power in the hands of officials is not given by the emperor or the leaders, but by citizens, who can have the right to take it back.
However, it is true, but the power of autocracy is too tempting, making people lose their nature and become shameless. Recently, I heard a person who is an official, an expert and a member of the National Development and Reform Commission say in the media: "There is no need to worry about raising prices by a few points. If China wants to become a strong country, it must have three highs: high prices, high people prices and high money prices. " A few days later, he said, "I can't do it unless the price goes up." Even if they go up for 40 years, we can't keep up with American prices. There is no inflation in China at present.
That's quite a level. It makes sense to lie with your eyes open The fact is that the average wage of workers in China is only 4% of the average wage of workers in the United States, but it has to bear the same price as that of the United States, even higher than that of the United States. There is no inflation in China. Go to the supermarket to see if the same money can buy as many things as before. Prices are soaring, but wages are far behind. Is it normal for house prices and prices to weigh heavily on ordinary people?
Official experts estimate that the government bought everything and sent it to his home. He only flatters the government, but never thinks about the people. Having said that, there is no need to say anything more. There is also the Li Gang incident. It seems that Li Gang won, but the government lost the popular support and resented it for a long time. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen?
