Why did Zhou Wuwang "destroy the country of mankind without stopping worshipping it" in order to save labor?

Because killing people is simple, but it takes too much effort. It is better to save this time to do other things, as long as the people who destroy the country are not out of line, why should these ordinary people be buried with them? It's totally unnecessary.

I think you may have a misunderstanding about this constant sacrifice. Sacrifice refers to the ancestral temple sacrifice, not the so-called "don't kill people since you have destroyed their country."

Therefore, what Zhou Wuwang did has nothing to do with protecting the labor force. There must be a more obvious purpose for Zhou Wuwang to do this, that is, to make those who ruined the country not hold grudges. Because people at that time attached great importance to ancestral halls, which were their souls and beliefs. If this is destroyed, it will be a mess.

Smart people will definitely let them do what they have been able to do after the country is destroyed, which is more conducive to the stability of the country.

But now we can't find the specific reason in any historical records. It is too old to be preserved, so all the above are speculations of our descendants. After all, we can't fully understand the things of that era, and we can only learn from some unearthed cultural relics.

We can only speculate out of thin air that if people of that era are not allowed to have their own sacrifices, it may be tantamount to killing them, so the Zhou Dynasty may face the disaster brought by fugitives.

As for labor, there was no shortage of labor in ancient times. What is lacking is mature technology and crops that can make people full.

However, I really don't know why the Mikan Association got such treatment. It can only be said that Mi Kanggong is just a sad little person, and he has no ability to control the overall situation. Therefore, for a person as weak as an ant, he can only drift with the wind in that very strict era, leaving no trace.
