"Redundant Official"

"Excessive Troops"
"Wastage"
Although there are many inputs, the national fortune is dwindling, resulting in the country's accumulation of poverty and weakness. Due to the inability to solve these three problems, it ultimately led to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. These issues would not be easy to resolve even for a great country, especially since it faces more than just these three problems.
From history, we can see many cases: people, events, families, societies, countries, etc. For thousands of years, they have been continuously repeated. Some say that history is written by the victors and is all false, but that is a big mistake. If you only look at who won, who became emperor, and who beautified history, what does that have to do with you? It cannot be denied that this possibility exists, but the true things to learn from history are not these; these are just results. You need to understand the process, what happened, how it was resolved, and why there were such results. What help does it offer you? This is the true meaning of history!
Reading history makes one wise. I still need to read more history, otherwise I might easily be brainwashed by today's self-media. Otherwise, one day I might be fooled and end up getting cut like leeks.🤣 #ReadHistory
