"Can you speculate on the cause of the civil strife?" Gan Yaduo paused for a while, looking at Zhang Yuan leisurely.

It has seen part of the development of human beings, and the number of wars has been far more than that of the Gliese. The complexity of history is also much more complicated than that of the Gliese.

Zhang Yuan pondered and calculated carefully, and tasted the historical inevitability of it.

He said: "I think there are many reasons, but the main reason is that the management system, ideology, and especially the distribution system cannot keep up with the sudden productivity."

"Yes, that's right."

Initial electrification means that nuclear energy can be used to generate electricity and various substances can be produced, but it does not mean that resources have been produced. This is the Stone Age. In such a poor and empty situation, there are too many things to be produced.

There is a problem of who gets rich first and who gets rich later.

No matter how powerful the universal factory is, there are only 13 units. As a powerful 3D printer, even if the production capacity is very strong, it is definitely not cost-effective to directly produce daily necessities.

The best way is to use a universal factory to produce various machines to cooperate with the expansion of production, so that the productivity can be greatly increased.

Therefore, it is impossible for it to produce the material resources that all Gliese people need at once, and it is impossible for the whole people to realize affluent modern life all at once.

However, under some personal selfishness, not all of the productivity of the universal factory was used to produce production materials, and some high-ranking officials and nobles had already taken the lead in enjoying life in the age of electricity.

So there is a huge contrast.

You know... It was the Stone Age back then, and many Gliese people were still grazing in the fields!

It used to be that poverty was widespread and productivity was low, and no matter how rich the rich were, that was the only thing they could do. And under the social public support system, wealth is accumulated in clans as a unit, which is equivalent to an alternative collective economy. Once an individual dies in old age, this part of wealth will be released to society or his own clan, so individuals and The gap between rich and poor individuals is not particularly large.

Rich people can only secretly raise a few illegitimate children and pass on their small amount of wealth. The members of the clan turned a blind eye to this phenomenon, who gave them the ability to make money?

As for entertainment methods, people with high IQs play mathematics and other elegant things, and ordinary people engage in sculpture, painting, singing and singing... Anyway, everyone plays their own things and does not interfere with each other.

But now it's different...

The gap between the Stone Age and the Electricity Age is so big that it is a bit outrageous, and it is not too much to describe it as earth-shaking. New lifestyle, entertainment, new food, clothing, place of residence, basic necessities of life have all undergone brand-new changes!

Such a change also means that the previously tolerable gap between the rich and the poor has suddenly undergone drastic changes!

These new material resources must be enjoyed by only a small number of people at the beginning, and there is no way to fully popularize them. Therefore, those people with low social status suddenly developed an extremely unbalanced mentality.

Zhang Yuan tapped his fingers lightly: "I understand, it's because the huge wealth gap brought about by the universal factory has accumulated energy for civil strife. Well, the gap between the rich and the poor in the stone age and the electricity age is also a bit big Too much."

There is a gap between rich and poor within a civilization, which is very normal in itself, because there is a gap in the ability of individuals and individuals, and there is no way to live worse than others.

But a society with a greater gap between the rich and the poor is more prone to turmoil.

Because of the emergence of the universal factory, in just two or three years, the "Gini index" of Gliese civilization suddenly soared to the sky, which is naturally not something the people at the bottom can tolerate.

Although the Gliese people are idle and free, it does not mean that they have no desires. Under the impact of massive material resources, everyone starts to want to move. No one wants to continue the life of the primitive era, even if it is a day later...

Under the circumstances that the people's hearts are about to move, the government departments that were not very strong before have greatly reduced their ability to control, and their binding force on the citizens has become less and less. Even the managers themselves are helpless under such a huge impact, and the internal chaos status.

In addition to the gap between the rich and the poor, there is a second internal cause. The original economic system dominated by handicrafts has begun to appear extremely outdated, and various economic policies and cultures have caused a lot of confusion.

To give a simple example, the original commodities on the market were limited to primary commodities such as grain, bone tools, and handicrafts, with relatively low added value. Many ordinary people rely on manual production of these goods to live, and after tens of thousands of years, they have become very stable.

And the goods produced from the universal factory have higher added value. In this stone age, the added value of a car should even be so high that no one can afford it!

The impact of a large number of new products has led everyone to want to buy the latest products.

The prices of the original commodities fell sharply, and low-value commodities could not be sold at all. The confusion of monetary policy soon led to deflation, and the economy was completely paralyzed.

The collapse of the economy caused some handicraft merchants to lose money and began to be unable to support themselves.

With the development of science and technology, there are people who can't support themselves. This phenomenon is unimaginable but natural. After all, the quality and working ability of the vast majority of ordinary people are still in the stone age, and there is no way to keep up with the trend of the times. They can only do a little handicraft work, and now the handicraft industry is suddenly worthless, and they are immediately unemployed.

The government at that time did not have enough experience and organizational capacity to deal with this kind of economic crisis, and the response was always slow, which caused the entire crisis to become bigger and bigger.

These managers simply don't have this kind of economics in their minds, and don't know why more and more people are poor.

This group of poor people who have lost their jobs will either leave the city and continue to live the life of primitive people...

Or... through violence, to realize your demands!

"These two reasons are like two springs. The tighter they are pressed, the greater the power they will explode." Zhang Yuanchang sighed, looked at the white ceiling, pondered, pondered...

It's a pity that the interstellar civilization only taught them some scientific knowledge, but no knowledge about the system at all... No matter how smart the Gliese people are, they can't know about this aspect without experience, let alone Impossible to react.

The development of civilization has never been achieved overnight. With the development of science and technology, only the external strength has been improved by leaps and bounds. Without the support of internal strength, it is equivalent to just a hollow tree. down.
