Upon hearing this, Lin Hai's first reaction was that the information had been leaked.

The second reaction was who knew this information and who was the traitor.

My third reaction was that Wang Zuo really needed a good lesson as he had been becoming less and less reliable recently.

Finally I remembered that this might also be part of the information disturbance.

After a series of facial expressions changing, and Wang Zuo unknowingly escaping the spikes of the mace once again, Lin Hai finally asked, "So this is related to what you said?"

Xin Yueping said: "Yes, it is related."

If freedom, development and the future are too far away for the people of this world, then the regular and quantitative clearance of excess population is a nightmare that no one can escape.

When Lin Hai first came to this world, he discovered that at every point, the rulers of this world would inexplicably fall into madness. Although it can be seen that these rulers are trying their best to resist the crazy thoughts in their hearts, as time goes by, their rationality will drift further and further away from them, and the state of madness will occupy their bodies more and more.

The outward manifestation of this madness is: starting a war.

Yes, start a war.

There is no reason to start a war.

Regardless of the current state of the country.

Regardless of whether there is enough food in the warehouse to survive the winter.

It doesn't matter whether the country has enough reserve supplies to equip every soldier with weapons and armor.

It doesn't matter whether the country opposite is an enemy or a brother ally.

They don't even think about where to attack.

As long as the war is started.

Of course, as a well-structured feudal empire, if the emperor insisted on launching a war, he would often not succeed. Ministers who were capable, farsighted, and most importantly, responsible would refute the emperor's edict, and the prime ministers would not pass any irrational decree.

However, this kind of madness is not exclusive to the royal family.

Basically, senior officials at the core of the empire will gradually fall into madness along with the emperor, but the lower their rank, the lower the degree of madness.

Of course, there are ways to prevent war from breaking out.

For example, when the emperor felt that he was about to fall into madness, he would simply claim to be ill and no longer attend to his duties. He could even issue an edict in advance, saying that his future orders would be "disorderly" and no one had to obey them.

Senior officials of the empire could also "happen" to fall ill at the same time, and at least in the short term, it would not affect the operation of the entire empire.

After all, as a feudal empire, small peasant economy and self-sufficiency accounted for more than 80% of their economic activities. In the absence of foreign invasion, the "silence" of the royal family and the imperial center for a period of time did not actually affect the overall situation.

You won’t believe it, but there are people who have actually done this, and even more than once.

For the first time, there were three countries in the world, one of which took such action, and then in a short period of time, the other two crazy monarchs led their armies into their territory and successfully destroyed the country, and by the way, used their population to complete the cleanup task.

For a long time after that, no one dared to use such a method.

Although it seems that if all the monarchs and senior officials in the world adopt this approach, war will definitely not break out.

But who can really trust each other?

Who doesn’t have a desire to unify the world?

Let the other party tie you up and make you pose, and then you take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. Just thinking about this plot makes your blood boil.

Don't worry, this actually happened.

That was after Lin Hai’s fifth coming.

There are only two countries left in the world.

It just so happens that they are relatives, and it has to be said that marriages between royal families played a huge role at this time.

When the symptoms of madness were just detected, the emperors of the two countries met at the border. It is not known what they talked about specifically, but in short, they achieved a rare, even incredible mutual trust.

The emperor, the crown prince, and subsequent heirs, as well as senior officials from both countries, took the initiative to lock themselves in a fortress on the border. Inside, both sides ate and lived together, while outside, the armies of the two countries conducted cross-patrols to ensure that no one could sneak back to issue orders.

Thus, at any time and in any space, the prisoner's dilemma is solved.

The method to crack it is actually "absolute trust" that everyone knows, but no one is willing to believe.

In any case, everyone seems to have found a way to crack the "madness".

Although later on, the people in the fortress had completely lost control of themselves, and the roars and shouts of killing could even be transmitted through the thick city walls to the military camp outside, and a large number of "imperial edicts" and "decrees" were constantly thrown out from the fortress in various ways, the defenders outside the city firmly performed their duties. They did not even open them to take a look, but took these orders to the kitchen to cook, of course, as fuel.

For safety reasons, even the people who picked up the imperial edicts and lit the fire were illiterate.

It seems the problem is solved.

When he said this, Xin Yueping's face showed a rare expression of fear.

Half a year from that day.

At first, it was just an unknown small river that flooded due to rain and submerged a small village with dozens of people.

No one cares.

Later, an earthquake struck a small, remote town on the border, killing and injuring hundreds of people. Well, that's just what happens in a country, and who cares about a small town on the border?
