Thinking that according to what Lao Wu said, his own Ming Dynasty was only more than 270 years old, Lao Zhu's face turned pale.
"Fifth brother, isn't it?" After all, Prince Zhu Biao has read more books.
"In ancient times, the Xia Dynasty existed for five hundred years, the Shang Dynasty also existed for six hundred years, and the Zhou Dynasty lasted for eight hundred years."
"Let's just say that the Han Dynasty lasted for 407 years. Why are these three hundred years said to be a curse?"
"That happened in the ancient times during the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties." Zhu Su shook his head. "The king at that time was, to put it bluntly, a tribal leader. He could barely maintain his status by relying on the favor given by his subordinates. This is not the same as the current emperor.
It’s something.”
"The Zhou Dynasty has been around for eight hundred years, but during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were so many vassal states. Would they listen to the King of Zhou?"
Zhu Biaoxin said the same thing. "But the Han Dynasty..."
"The Han Dynasty was broken in the middle," Zhu Su said. "The Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty are not the same thing. To put it bluntly, it's just that the emperor of the later Han Dynasty happened to be named Liu."
There is nothing wrong with this. If you think about it this way, no dynasty can last more than three hundred years.
"Those gentry have many ways to get people to sell their land and produce."
"Could it be that this is God's will?" He asked Zhu Su. "It's God who doesn't want this world's dynasty to exceed the number of three hundred years?"
"Yes." Zhu Biao said loudly. In fact, there was no need to check it. He had already gone through it in his mind. Indeed, before the collapse of the country in each dynasty, records similar to "The rich have fields and roads, and the poor have no place to stand" can be found.
.
"Then why!" Lao Zhu gritted his teeth when he said this. "It's not those dog officials in Yuanting who are forcing us people to die!"
But no, when my family was in the Qian Yuan Dynasty, didn't they take the initiative to sell their land to landlord Liu because of natural and man-made disasters?
I even let Landlord Liu let the cow go!
Now that I think about it, aren't those landowners and tax collectors just working together? The tax collectors are forcing taxes, so the landlords can take advantage of the crisis and buy all those acres of land into their own hands at a low price!
"So from this point of view," Zhu Su continued, "the so-called reincarnation of dynasties is actually the merger and redistribution of land distribution."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu suddenly shuddered.
"What does it mean to go to heaven or not? Brother, you are thinking too much." Zhu Su waved his hand wordlessly. "This is at most a certain historical law, it is not so mysterious."
"Before, our family had some land, but it was sold to Landlord Liu and took care of it for a while..." Lao Zhu responded. "You mean...field?"
"If there is a natural or man-made disaster, free farmers cannot make ends meet, so they can only sell their land to landlords in order to survive. As a result, landlords have more land in their hands, and farmers become tenants."
Zhu Su sighed. "What else can be said, 'Nearly half of the world's household registrations have been wiped out'. Similar descriptions are not uncommon in history books."
"To put it bluntly, it is a problem of uneven land distribution." Zhu Su concluded.
"This is a slow and vicious cycle until most of the country's land is occupied by landlords. The people have no hope. At this time, someone will stand up and shout..."
"Yes." Zhu Su nodded. He turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, you just said that if you have a mouthful of food to eat, you will not put your head in your belt to conquer the world."
"We have written it down." Lao Zhu said quickly, fearing that his wife and children would see him crying and embarrassed. "Boss, go back and check the history books to see if there are any reasons for the collapse of the country in the past dynasties.
There is this one.”
"Then in the early days of the dynasty, why was the country always in peace and prosperity?" Zhu Biao asked. "There was only so much land in total, so why in the early days of the dynasty, there was only enough land to divide..."
"In later generations, it is generally believed that there are two reasons." Zhu Su held out two fingers. Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Queen Ma all looked solemn and listened seriously to the bragging of their fifth son, Boyi, who was more than ten years old.
.
"That thing is useless!" Lao Zhu waved his hands impatiently. After the military household system, he once again discovered another flaw in his system.
Lao Zhu's heart sank. According to this statement, the reason why he has been so complacent in recent years that the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful is because too many people died in the war?
But he couldn't refute it, because he knew in his heart that Lao Wu's conclusion was right.
It's just that these have never been associated with "dynasty reincarnation" before.
"Most of the peasant armies after the Ming Dynasty were also in this situation."
People's minds are settled... Although there are only a few words in the history books, what behind them is that too many people died in this land of China!
Thinking of his dead parents and brothers, Zhu Chongba, who has now become the emperor, actually feels a slight soreness in his nose...
"Isn't it the same in our Ming Dynasty now?"
"The first reason is the theory of land annexation."
"Land annexation?" Lao Zhu frowned.
"Yes!" Zhu Su nodded. "Because all the fields are in the hands of the landlords!"
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang heard the key point. "So, do you know what this rule is?"
"Looking back, we will think of a way to use the strength of two generations to completely put an end to this land annexation!"
"Then why do we have no food to eat?"
Uh, this script is not quite right. Zhu Su sweated secretly and continued to guide: "Then dad, why was it that our family was able to carry it on before, but by the time of the Great Ancestor, it was forced to be unable to carry it anymore?"
Doesn't this scene refer to the late Yuan Dynasty?
Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel horrified.
"Landlords may be exempt from taxes, or they may have the power to prevent tax collectors from imposing taxes. However, the country's grain tax can only be borne by a small number of free farmers."
The law of the demise of a dynasty! If you know this law and then extrapolate it, wouldn't it mean that as long as this law is broken, you can break out of this three-hundred-year-old curse?
"I do know a little bit. But I can only refer to the details." Zhu Su said, thinking that with the blessing of all the great gods on Zhihu Qidian, I will use the knowledge you guys poured on the Internet to deceive the famous Emperor Hongwu!
"Your great ancestor and great grandmother were forced to death by those dog officials who forced them to donate and pay taxes!"
He and Queen Ma looked at each other. The couple, who had experienced the situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
He made a sound and had already reacted.
“It’s precisely because the people have lost their fields and can’t live anymore, so they have no choice but to work hard!”
"But, dad also made a mark on the fish scale book..." Zhu Biao was still confused.
Well, in what era are there no rich people?
"...There is another reason, what is it?" Lao Zhu asked Zhu Su. "Let's talk about it together. Let's find a way to deal with it together!"
"Another reason..." Zhu Suxin said that this is much more complicated than the land annexation theory. "Another reason, Ming Dynasty will suffer from it in the future..."
"That's it,"
"Heaven! Tao! Reincarnation! Reincarnation!"
