If you want to understand the game between dictators and bureaucracy, you can use two small examples to illustrate it.

Let me first give you the simplest real world example:

In a dictatorial country, the most basic matter of "what issues are dictators dealing with every day" will provide huge operating space for the bureaucratic group below.

After all, there are tens of thousands of big and small matters that a country produces every day, and everyone needs to make decisions.

What matter is a big deal?

What matter is a trivial matter?

What questions can be reported to the dictator?

What questions should be handed over to the dictator first?

Even if Emperor Manghuang has a big fist, it doesn't matter. He can't personally go through all the things that need to be decided in the country, and then make decisions on each issue.

In the end, he still needed the bureaucracy below to decide what needs to be decided by Emperor Manghuang, and then Emperor Manghuang made corresponding decisions on these issues selected by the bureaucrats.

Even if information technology is developed like the earth civilization in the 21st century, it is necessary to have a special agency responsible for arranging the agenda for leaders, and it is impossible for leaders to choose what kind of topics they will discuss on their own.

Under this system, do you still want to be dictatorial?

It’s good to not be fooled!

The bureaucratic system does not want dictators to know about things. Not to mention making decisions, dictators can’t even see them, and they will be kept in the dark from beginning to end.

Let me give you another interesting example that often appears in the field of science fiction:

In some well-known science fiction novels, in the face of the crisis of the demise of civilization, great and wise civilized leaders generally come up with some crazy strategies, such as making decisions such as half of the civilization's human beings in order to continue civilization.

Perhaps the author of the novel himself also knew that this approach was too unreasonable. He would usually arrange the half of the people who were sacrificed to conspire to commit a rebellion or something, and then be defeated by the wise and powerful civilized leaders. Then the remaining human beings united and overcome the crisis together.

But this is how society does not work.

When a decision made by a national leader touches the interests of the people below, there are countless ways to make the decision worse. Violent rebellion is the stupidest and least common way.

For example, when a great leader says he wants to sacrifice half of his people, the people below will definitely find ways to cheat so that the relatives will not be sacrificed.

You said that for the sake of the continuation of human civilization, we should give priority to protecting outstanding scientists?

My second uncle’s brother-in-law is an excellent scientist!

Even if academicians have related households and fakes, wouldn’t you even dream about identifying who is an excellent scientist when civilization is about to perish?

Who will identify who is an excellent scientist, who will supervise and identify the scientist who will supervise and identify the scientist who will supervise and identify the scientist who will supervise and identify the scientist who will be an excellent scientist, this problem is simply unsolvable...

You said that drawing lots will determine who can survive?

Then the people below can still cheat!

Even welfare lottery draws can cheat. What can’t be done in secret?

Any policy needs to be implemented by people.

The cheating of policy implementers, taking advantage of loopholes, making excuses, and non-violent and uncooperating tricks, is useless even if your leader is strong.

After all, the law does not blame the masses. When policies offend most people, they are destined to be resisted by the entire system. Those dictators who point to what they want and do whatever they want are like grand narratives, generally only exist in the fantasy of keyboard politicians and novelists.

The chief referee of the Eternal Kingdom, Meli, is already an omniscient and omnipotent god. This beautiful referee who is in charge of the "World Editor", not only is her personal combat power invincible in the Eternal Kingdom, but she can even make things happen like air, food and water. But even a Creator-like existence like Meli, it is not easy to control the more than 20 million people in the Eternal Kingdom.

Before the establishment of the Science Inquisition, she could describe it as exhausted to deal with all the troublemakers who wanted to "do to die" in the Eternal Kingdom. Even so, she ended up suffering such a tragic failure as "big tear".

In the end, she still needs to use the institutional power of the Science Court to cultivate a group of bureaucratic groups (scientific judges and scientific knights) that are consistent with her own interests, and intentionally support the wizard organization as the imaginary enemy of all the people, and cooperate with various crazy brainwashing methods to effectively rule the entire eternal kingdom.

Lu Yang felt that this Manghuang Martial Emperor must have made similar dictatorial attempts before.

In the end, it is probably because he really can't manage it, so he has formed the current free-range management model.

Lu Yang can also understand the practice of Emperor Manghuang. After all, being a dictator is also very tiring. Emperor Manghuang finally cultivates to the state of invincible in the world. It is always time to enjoy it. We must not expect him to devote himself to serving the people all day long and be a public servant of the people.

This kind of saint exists only in legends and in a certain specific environment of group fanaticism.

Perhaps as Guo Ning said, for Emperor Manghuang Wu, as long as the bandits don’t destroy themselves, it’s enough. Just take care of the rest of the matter, and the people below do whatever they like.

But even this sheep-style management model is definitely not what Emperor Manghuang Martial Arts slapped his head, and it has also been tested by practice.

The most obvious point is that the generals of the Army Headquarters and Emperor Manghuang Wu also made some exchanges of interests.

Compared with the completely lawless bandits in the Manghuang Realm, Emperor Manghuang Wu's world government provides the most basic security guarantees for the generals of the Army Headquarters. Although this kind of guarantee is very unreliable, it is better to have it than not.

At least if the people who kill the world government will avenge you, the world government will avenge you, which will make many potential perpetrators afraid of you.

On this basis, Emperor Manghuang had almost no restrictions on the freedom of the generals of the Army Headquarters, and only required them to regularly eliminate some geniuses with high martial arts talents and minimize the obligations of the generals of the Army Headquarters.

In addition, killing all geniuses with high martial arts talents is not only in the interests of Emperor Manghuang, but also in the interests of generals of the Army Headquarters. After all, only by killing all the tough guys in the cradle and not outstanding martial arts talents can it be easier to ride on the bandits' heads to show off their might.

In this way, a fragile alliance of interests was finally formed between Emperor Manghuang and the generals of the Army Headquarters.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang told Guo Ning that he had commented on Emperor Manghuang: "The situation in the Manhuang Realm is so complicated, and this dictator of the Manhuang Realm is indeed not easy to be. Emperor Manghuang's Martial Emperor has done a pretty good job of being able to achieve this level today!"

Seeing that the bandit king Lu Yang praised the boss of the world government for the first time, Guo Ning was obviously shocked: "When the bandits mentioned the Martial Emperor Manghuang, they gritted their teeth. I didn't expect that you would have such a high evaluation of him!"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "This is just because ordinary bandits in the Manghuang Realm do not understand management. With the objective conditions of the Manghuang Realm, if I am in the position of the Manghuang Emperor, I will not be able to do better unless I personally tiring myself up for everything. Dictatorship is also a very profound science. There are not many famous dictators in history who are not blinded by their subordinates. If you want to effectively command such a large Manghuang Realm with one person, even if this Manghuang Emperor's personal combat power is 100 times stronger."

Lu Yang pointed to the Lingjiazhai bandits who were lined up outside the window to practice the new martial arts, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Don't say that he is commanding a wild land, even a small bandit village can manage it to the point of being like an arm to use his fingers, which is not something that ordinary people can do."

"Is management science?" Guo Ning repeated the modern noun.

The word "management" should not exist in the local language of Manghuangdi, and I don't know how Chenxi translated it.

However, seeing Lieutenant General Guo Ning showed a thoughtful look, he obviously understood what Lu Yang was saying: "The King of Bidders is really unique in looking at the problem. If it were before, I wouldn't believe that anyone could manage the chaotic wilderness better. But after visiting the lifestyle of Lingjia Mountain Village in the past two days, I feel that this is not the case! The King of Bidders, you probably have found a way to make the wilderness safe for a long time!"
