Ju Zizhou patted Ying Zheng’s head: “The construction of production relations is based on the “recognition” of people. If you want to be the King of Qin, this needs to be remembered firmly!”

Ying Zheng took back his mind, thought for a moment, and nodded: "In other words, my father was the crown prince of Qin because of the Qin people's recognition. Since the Qin people admitted that he was the crown prince, then they also admitted that he could be the King of Qin in the future!"

"It's roughly correct, but it's also a bit incorrect!" Ju Zizhou smiled: "Your father is the prince of Qin not because of the recognition of the "Qin people", but because of the recognition of the "Qin Queen"!"

"queen?"

"Mrs. Huayang of An Guojun!" Ju Zizhou said: "She is the wife whom An Guojun favored, and she is also the "mother" in the name of your father."

"Why..." Ying Zheng was a little confused: "Didn't the Qin people need to admit it? Why does my father just need the Queen of Huayang to admit it?"

"You're wrong!" Ju Zizhou said: "The existence of the position of King Qin requires the recognition of the Qin people, but who is in the position of King Qin does not need their recognition. It's enough to recognize the real powers in the court!"

"What!?" Ying Zheng was extremely shocked: "So that's the case?"

"In a relationship, there is always one party who has the initiative, while the other party is passive in this relationship, just like the father-son relationship between you and your father... It is useless to admit it, and it is useful to ask your father to admit it!"

"So that's it!" Ying Zheng nodded: "In other words, the superiors can unilaterally decide whether the relationship exists or not!"

"No..." Ju Zizhou hesitated for a moment: "Actually, those who are inferior can do it too..."

"The lower-ranking person can do it too?" Ying Zheng was puzzled.

Ju Zizhou's mouth twitched.

Ying Zheng’s thinking is hard to control... He is worthy of being a top emperor who has been famous throughout the ages.

After thinking about it, Ju Zizhou said: "This is not important. What is important is that there are two most fundamental ways to make others recognize the existence of "relationships".

"Which two?" Ying Zheng's attention was indeed diverted.

"Interests and violence!" Ju Zizhou said: "Form an interest relationship or use violence as a threat is the most direct and fundamental means. Money and force are the externalization of interests and violence."

"Externalization?" Ying Zheng couldn't understand the word.

"It's the appearance!" Ju Zizhou said: "Money and force are not the essence."

"What is the essence?" Ying Zheng couldn't understand: "Isn't profits money? Why is it said that money is not the essence?"

"Money is used to spend it, and it is used to exchange it for other practical material things. It can be anything - the money in the Shang Dynasty was shell coins, and the money in the current states is copper coins. The money in the State of Zhao, Qin and Qi is also different. Maybe even toilet chips can be money in the future."

"It's unlikely to have toilet chops..." Ying Zheng frowned.

"Who knows?" Ju Zizhou smiled: "The important thing is that the government declares it to be money, and then it is money. People admit that it has purchasing power, so it has purchasing power!"

"Its essence is the trust of the people in the country!"

Ying Zheng was a little puzzled, but he nodded: "So that's the case?"

"It is still quite possible that you want to be the King of Qin!" Ju Zizhou said: "Your father only has two sons, one is you, and the other is Cheng Cang who grew up in Qin."

"If there is no major change, the next King of Qin after your father will be chosen between you and Cheng Cang."

"Cheng Chuang grew up in Qin State. He was more familiar with the nobles of Qin State. They had a better relationship. It is natural that he had a greater possibility of becoming the King of Qin than you..." Ju Zizhou said: "So after you return to Qin State..."

"I have to act better than him to be qualified to compete with him?" Ying Zheng suddenly realized: "I want to bring more benefits to the nobles of Qin State than Cheng Ke, and have stronger violence as a threat to make them support me!"

"Not bad!" Ju Zizhou nodded: "More interests, more violence!"

"But what should I do?" Ying Zheng asked: "I don't have money and I don't have higher force."

"Then you can't win over the nobles to stand on your side!" Ju Zizhou smiled.

Ying Zheng was stunned: "Then how do I become the King of Qin?"

"You can't win over the nobles of Qin, but it doesn't mean you can't win over some other people!"

"Who?" Ying Zheng asked hurriedly.

"You will know after reading this book!" Ju Zizhou took out three silk books from the package.

Ying Zheng hurriedly opened: "Handan Investigation"

"What is this?" Ying Zheng asked in disappointment.

"This is something that can help you make the King of Qin!" Ju Zizhou smiled, with white teeth: "It can explain why you were hunted by the ranger, it can also tell you who you can win over, who can't win over, and it can also guide you who will be your friend and who may be your enemy!"

"Is that amazing?" Ying Zheng quickly unfolded the silk book and looked at it in the dim light.

"You see first, I'll sleep for a while." Ju Zizhou said.

As he said that, he lay on the couch and narrowed his eyes.

Very good, the purpose of the first phase has been achieved!

The modified theory of production relations has been instilled in him.

The following is to slowly move Marx apart and teach him little by little.

Ju Zizhou believed that with Marx's superiority in actual production and life, Ying Zheng would choose to believe it!

As for the investigation in Handan...

It was just a social investigation done by the Dragon Slaying Master's investigation report, but even the beggar's version was enough to give Ying Zheng a glimpse of the social landscape of Zhao State and the terrible power hidden under the feet of the nobles.

Thinking of this, Ju Zizhou glanced at Ying Zheng who was studying hard and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Ying Zheng didn't know why the lives of so many civilians were recorded in the "Handan Investigation".

What does it have to do with the lower-level ranger who can’t afford to eat every day?

How long does it take for people to cultivate a mu of land? What does it have to do with me how much millet can be produced by a mu of land?

What do you do when writing so much business?

Where is the power?

No force!

Where are the benefits?

The more Ying Zheng looked at him, the more anxious he became, and the more impatient he became.

After a long time, he was very upset after browsing these three silk books.

Looking at the sleeping Ju Zizhou, Ying Zheng frowned.

It's not clear at all, so okay?

Ying Zheng suspected that Ju Zizhou was lying to himself.

But when he thought of the two methods of "production relations" mentioned earlier and establishing relationships, he felt that it was extremely correct.

There is probably no more correct thing in the world!

Although Ying Zheng has not read many books, he is not stupid. When the theory is in front of him, he can still tell that this theory is more correct than what he has learned in Zhao State in the past...

But why can't I see the power he said?

And... Ying Zheng looked at Ju Zizhou: Is this guy really just an ordinary Taoist apprentice?

Was he really saved himself from being poor and had no money to eat?

What is my "relationship" with him?
