Arasaka Yorinobu watched the inevitable turmoil and the coming of troubled times, standing on the rooftop again. He couldn't change anything, not even the company, and now everything had collapsed, and countless innocent people had died. It was a pity, and they died miserably.

There was no other way out in this situation. What else could he do except jump? Even turning himself in and going to jail could not make up for it. The company had already lost, and even Cyberpunk had already lost.

The technological advantage can no longer be converted into stable status, and the products produced are not as good as the food grown.

Cyberpunk is a company that relies on its technological advantages to gain profits and maintain stability, but this is not the end of history. Because the company's raw materials and sales market are affected by various factors, it is impossible to be stable forever.

The company's earnings are not stable, but shareholders don't need to think about these things, they just need to think about making money. Moreover, many of them are landowners, so even if the company is gone, they still have the land and can still make money.

But without the protection of technological advantages, the knife of war will also fall on their heads. They know how the war started, but they don’t know how to end it. They underestimated the production capacity of others.

Ancient Athens was destroyed by Rome, and the Renaissance was destroyed by monotheism. As long as there is a foreign land, the shareholders will always be the landlords. Capital is capitalized in war and assets are capitalized in peace. Landlords believe that they will never lose.

Can't lose, not at all. Unfortunately, there is no one who always wins. When the game changes, there will always be landlords who are crushed to pieces.

Cyberpunks are still needed, and division of labor based on annual income is still feasible. We just need to wait for the opportunity.

"These bastards." Arasaka Yorinobu hated these shameless people, but what could he do? To mobilize citizens, you need to give them bread, baths, and gladiatorial fights. To mobilize free people, you need to give them citizenship. There is no better way except external expansion.

Even an old reformed region like France needs to expand. Louis XIV of France started urbanization, concentrated resources in the capital, and improved the quality of life of residents through various industries, which won support. When Louis XVI came to power, the industrial advantage was reduced, so he prepared to collect taxes from religion and citizens, and he was hacked to death.

After the death of Louis XVI, there was a fight between the nobles and the citizens, with rivers of blood flowing. Finally, Napoleon, a military leader, came to power. It can be said that "a king was killed and an emperor was ushered in." However, Napoleon did not control industries, did not develop large cities, and directly expanded outward.

Of course, Napoleon failed in the end. However, the war killed many nobles and people, and France was able to smoothly enter the modern parliament era. France's modern parliament is not an upper house for nobles and a lower house for citizens, but is divided into the left and the right, which actually leans towards the nobles and the citizens.

It can be said that the nobility has never disappeared, but has only changed its form. If you want to improve the status of citizens, you can rely on the king. The king needs to suppress the nobility, so he needs the help of citizens. The second is to expand and mobilize citizen soldiers.

The king's means include war, trade, and urbanization.

It was common for the king to control the territory by controlling the cities. In order to control the cities, the king hoped that all resources would be concentrated in a few cities. But urbanization obviously did not allow the king to sit back and relax. Whether it was the Three Families Dividing Jin or the Tian Family replacing the Jiang Family, both of them were the collapse of the king's status after urbanization.

The Three Families divided Jin, which was a result of multiple large cities that were beyond the king's control. When Tian replaced Jiang, the ministers controlled the city industry and usurped the king's position.

There was also Louis XVI, who encountered the situation of disappearing industrial advantages and finally wanted to impose taxes, but was miserably overthrown.

Citizens cannot completely replace nobles in this process, because citizens are not submissive to others, and no one wants others to be the boss and themselves to be the younger brother. We are all citizens, why should you be the boss? So they need nobles, of course, they can also use annual income as a standard, but annual income is not reliable in troubled times. Of course, another way is religion, choose pious people as leaders, and piety depends on whether they abide by the doctrine.

In the Central Plains, when the nobles died, everyone could still choose people with virtue and ability, and the standard of ability was that the world belonged to all.

If Arasaka Yorinobu could mobilize the citizens, he could attack the landlords, but mobilizing citizens either involves religion, industry, or war, and he doesn't seem to be able to do any of them.

It's really helpless. He clearly had a strong sense of mission, and he killed his father because he was dissatisfied with his father. He clearly wanted to change the world, but why was it so difficult? Why couldn't he do it? He even killed his father just to make the company better and benefit society. Why did he fail so badly and end up killing millions of people?

This is the saying "plans are made by smart people, but executed by fools". It is good to benefit society, but it is not something that he can do alone. Your Majesty governs the world with the scholars and officials, not with the people. If you want to benefit society, don't you need someone to implement it?

Who will implement it? Isn't it the shareholders and employees of the company? If it can't satisfy their interests, how can they benefit society? They spent so much on tuition fees and even took on a huge amount of student loans. If they don't consider themselves, how can they consider the people?

It's a good idea to benefit society, but neither shareholders nor employees will support it.

Is it that only Arasaka Yorinobu wants to benefit society, but Arasaka Saburo doesn't? It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't do it. It's already good enough to keep the company running. He is just the boss, not the end product, so he can't make the final decision.

"Why?" Arasaka Yorinobu felt desperate, as if everything was hopeless. His starting point was good, so why was the ending so tragic?

He couldn't explain this situation, nor could he accept it, so he wanted to jump again. He felt dazed, as if he had already jumped once before.

Duran would not save him a second time.

"Let's go, let's go." Duran said, "Just let him jump."

Denise said with emotion: "He doesn't understand how difficult it is to implement his ideas. It's not something that can be done easily. You can't create a better future by killing a demon. You have to be down-to-earth and do a lot of things to make a little change. The problem of social structure is not a problem for Saburo Arasaka. If it was just a theory, Mozi's idea of ​​universal love and non-aggression would have been proposed long ago, but it's a pity that it has never been put into practice."

It's just a theory. There are many good theories. Universal love and non-aggression are good, and equality of all beings is also good. But the question is how to achieve it? If it's just talk, then robbers and murderers can also talk about it. They can say that all beings are equal while killing and setting fires. Anyway, it's just talk.

If it depends on self-awareness, then Confucius' self-discipline and restoration of rituals, hoping that everyone would consciously abide by the Zhou rituals and consciously restrain human desires, would have succeeded and there would not have been a need to wait until now.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the reforms of past dynasties, which successful reform did not involve bloodshed? Even when Sun Wu was training his troops, he had to behead them to establish his authority. In every failed reform, it was "Your Majesty governs the world with the literati, not with the people." If you want to implement reforms, you need to get everyone to cooperate, use coercion, inducement, and all kinds of means, and you also need to train a team that can implement reforms.

These things did not fall from the sky, but were honed with blood. Arasaka Yorinobu thought that killing his father would change everything, which was really naive, and he did not consider the reality at all. It is easy to have beautiful ideas, everyone has them, but few people can implement them because it is difficult.

The bigger the idea, the harder it is to implement.

"Many people cannot get up early to exercise and sleep one hour less. If they cannot change themselves, they will not be able to change others or society. If he wants to jump off a building at every turn, he can forget about changing society." Duran said, "Let him jump. I am too lazy to save him a second time."

"If one does not recognize the difficulty of one's ideals, does not have a correct understanding, and thinks that killing one's father can solve all problems, then one is indeed an unqualified leader."

Arasaka Yorinobu was not a qualified leader. He jumped down again and felt like he was in a nightmare. Perhaps he would wake up after jumping down.

However, this time he couldn't wake up, and he fell to pieces.

Cyberpunk is about to end, and the parliament is successful again. Companies still need lobbying groups to convince parliamentarians to give policies. And parliamentarians are old gentry, all of whom are large landowners elected by local landlords and passed down from generation to generation.
