"Don't make such a fuss. In fact, my father and my mother are well-matched. My father's family and my mother's family both come from scholarly families," Zhou Jinyu said.
After hearing Zhou Jinyu's words, Zhao Yi fell silent. This phenomenon was also very common in later generations, especially the wealthy families, who were more interested in being well-matched. The common people did not have much property or status, but they would try their best to find and match each other. Marriage between people with similar family backgrounds can be considered a "match".
Maybe this is a gene rooted in culture. Their ideas have been formed before, causing this way of thinking to be passed on to their descendants, so this cultural gene cannot disappear.
In fact, this phenomenon exists not only in China, but also in foreign countries, no matter what country they are. It’s just that people in Western countries are relatively independent. Some will not consider their parents’ opinions and only pursue their true love. Some are influenced by their parents. The influence is even greater, and they will look for the right person based on their parents’ opinions.
In fact, this method is a kind of subconscious stabilization of class self-stabilization. If two rich families get married, their wealth can continue to be continued. If a rich family gets married with a poor family, then the wealth of one party will inevitably be lost. If the spouse transfers to the other party, even if there is a divorce, half of the property still needs to be divided.
Political marriage is also easy to understand. People with high status need to help people with low status to some extent, but doing so will not bring benefits to people with high status, and may even endanger their own status. This kind of gain outweighs the loss. As long as a person with normal thinking will make a choice that is beneficial to him or her.
What Zhao Yi is thinking about now is, what class does he belong to now? According to the thinking of my previous life, I was considered a D-girl, and I still retained the way of thinking that belonged to the people at the bottom. Now, according to my wealth, I am also from a wealthy family, but I do not value this wealth very much, nor do I regard this wealth as my own. The foundation of settling down the people.
From this point of view, Zhao Yi should be a person who has no class concept and is not very interested in being well-matched, because he does not need to use this method to maintain his wealth and status, nor does he use this method to achieve any purpose.
At present, he is a quite simple person. He only wants to make the country prosperous and let the people live a good life in his own lifetime, and his life in this world is not in vain.
Because of their low status, some people will desperately grasp at straws once they have the opportunity to escape from this class predicament, even at any cost, while some people, because of their low status, understand the difficulty of the bottom, which in turn arouses more sympathy. , with universal values, hopes that through hard work, it can change the plight of all lower classes and let them live with more dignity.
In other words, selfish people only think about themselves. When they are promoted to a higher class, they will disdain people in their original class, and even suppress them desperately to protect the benefits they have finally obtained. , and people with a broad mind want to help their original class obtain more benefits.
It is undeniable that no matter what era it is, classes have always existed, but some class conflicts are very intense, while others are very relaxed. It all depends on the degree of oppression between classes. When the lower class falls into a difficult situation of survival, there are no opportunities for class conflicts. To avoid intensification, it is inevitable to use violent means to fight.
Our countless dynasty changes all illustrate this problem, and the chaos in the United States in its previous life was also due to this.
In fact, in the final analysis, the interests are not divided enough. When the cake is not big enough, the upper class wants to eat more, so they use means to snatch the cake belonging to the bottom class. The bottom class is inherently weak and cannot grab the cake of the upper class, and will eventually fall into survival difficulties.
When most of the lower-class people are like this, a force will spontaneously form, and this force will form a volcano, which will eventually explode.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi felt a little melancholy.
Why did the old man propose reform and opening up? When the People's Republic was founded, he promised to let everyone live a good life. However, after waiting and waiting for twenty or thirty years, the people are still very poor. In the long run, they will have doubts about the social system.
This is the right time to propose reform and opening up to develop the economy and improve people's livelihood. If the previous situation continues, I really don't know what problems will arise later.
Now the domestic economy is in a stage of sustained development, the cake is getting bigger, and the whole country can get its own piece of the cake. The contradiction has been temporarily resolved. But when this development speed stagnates, what should we do next
Like the United States in the previous life, it seemed that the domestic economic growth was okay, but it was a false prosperity. The financial industry and the high-tech industry benefited, and most people at the bottom were unable to share these benefits at all. Entering the void, resulting in large-scale unemployment, the bottom has begun to accumulate strength, but it has not yet reached the critical point.
Even global hegemons like the United States have such problems, so other countries have this problem to a greater or lesser extent. Of course, they can also adopt strong regulation, but there is no guarantee that it will not cause dissatisfaction within the upper class.
When most people within a class are dissatisfied, either they must revolutionize themselves from within the upper class, or they may introduce this power to the lower class.
Of course, class conflicts can also be led outside, but this requires a prerequisite, that is, it can obtain sufficient benefits from the outside. If it does not obtain benefits from the outside, but loses its own internal interests, it is estimated that it will fall apart quickly.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because the original class oppression was overthrown and egalitarianism was introduced later, there was indeed no oppression from outside the class at this stage. However, poverty will also lead to the involution of conflicts within the class. This phenomenon will lead to two results, either To be content with the status quo will either create class divisions.
If we are content with the status quo, there will be a lack of willingness to produce, which will make everyone's quality of life even worse, and in the end it will be unsustainable. And class differentiation will still return to the original path. As time goes by, there will still be As a result, class oppression becomes stronger and stronger, and ultimately there will be no good results.
This seems to have become a dead end, as if it will not follow people's wishes and will eventually lead to the same end.
As communism preaches, when productivity develops to the highest stage, everyone can live a carefree life, and can obtain enough resources even without labor. To be honest, this phenomenon is not impossible, but it will There will not be enough time to reach this stage, which is a key issue.
Often, before reaching that stage, the conflict has deteriorated beyond control, and finally a cycle will begin again. If the cycle continues like this, it will never reach that stage, and that stage will eventually become a legend, and in the end people will no longer believe it. , which in turn will return to the original starting point, and it will start over and over again, endlessly.
Now the variable Zhao Yi has appeared. Not only does he have enough wealth, he also has the will to reduce the self-destruction caused by this class collision, and he also has enough technology to speed up the improvement of productivity.
Resources are not a difficult thing in the vast universe. It depends on whether you have enough technology to obtain them.
After analyzing this, Zhao Yi also realized how crucial he is now. If used well, these unchangeable tragic endings are not unsolvable.
It's just that this society is not linear. He is not very confident about whether he will not be affected in the future and whether he can maintain a certain influence.
When the tide of the times sweeps by, a person's power is also very small, not to mention the need to ride this wave well, and even more cautiously.
This needs to test Zhao Yi's own control ability. Like some characters in other novels, with the help of cheats, they can defeat the sky and the earth. The idea that the whole world is no match for him seems so ridiculous to Zhao Yi. , So many talented people in the long history of mankind will eventually disappear as long as they fail to adapt to the times.
What Zhao Yi needs is to ensure that he will not be swept away by the wave. Especially in the face of major changes in the world, various interests are crisscrossed, and his influence will become greater and greater, so he is likely to be regarded as the primary target. to target.
Now the only thing Zhao Yi can rely on is technology, and his own force cannot suppress Gaishi. Although his intelligence has been greatly improved, whether he can solve the problems he faces cannot be solved by relying solely on intelligence.
As he thought about it, Zhao Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and the delicious beef on the plate no longer tasted good. He wished he could discuss countermeasures with Zhou Ling now, hoping that Zhou Ling could help him get rid of this kind of problem he might face.
Zhou Jinyu saw Zhao Yi start to stop talking because of his words. He was obviously lost in thought. He came over, pushed Zhao Yi and asked, "What are you thinking about? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Zhao Yi's thoughts were interrupted by Zhou Jinyu, and he quickly put the beef on the plate into his mouth to relieve the embarrassment just now, and said with a smile: "No, I just didn't expect that Uncle Zhou and Aunt Wang were also combined in this way. I They look very affectionate."
"That's true, my father and my mother have never quarreled." Zhou Jinyu said proudly.
Zhao Yi ignored Zhou Jinyu's proud expression, looked at Zhou Jinjue, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"There is nothing I can do for the time being. Although there is no problem with our relationship, we cannot let her have conflicts with her family because of me. This is a selfish act." Zhou Jinjue said.
"Your family can be considered a scholarly family. As long as you make some achievements on your own in the future, you should be able to solve the current predicament. It just needs your girlfriend to delay it. You are not too old anyway." Zhao Yi suggested.
"That's all I can do now. It's just that it will take me two years to graduate from graduate school and I still need to make some achievements after I start working. I'm afraid she won't be able to wait any longer," Zhou Jinjue said.
"There is no other way around this. Just think of it as a test of your relationship. If you can get through it, you will be lovers. If you can't get through, it means you are destined to be together." Zhao Yi said.
Zhao Yi really has no solution to this problem. Emotions are the most fickle things. It is not uncommon for future generations to swear to each other one moment and treat them as enemies the next. (End of chapter)
