Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

Moreover, in Liu Xiu's words, there is another point that stimulated Zhu Yuanzhang,

The most prosperous time of a dynasty is often when it was just established.

According to Liu Xiu's statement, substitute Daming, that means our Daming will be the most prosperous right now? !

What about after we die?

What should Daming do! ! !

Chapter 285 Dynasty Moth

What should Daming do after we die? !

Lao Zhu is getting older and older, and every time he thinks about this problem, he feels out of breath.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, thought that Ming Dynasty was the most friendly dynasty to the common people, and he also had the confidence to establish a rule of the world.

It's just that after so many years, he suddenly realized that maybe this long-cherished wish cannot be fulfilled in the hands of his generation.

Therefore, he devoted all his energy to cultivating Zhu Biao and paving the way for Zhu Biao. He hoped that Zhu Biao could inherit his will and establish a prosperous age not weaker than the rule of Wenjing!

But Liu Xiu's words made him fall into deep confusion and pain again.

Is the Daming in our hands the best Daming?

Although it is much better than at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, corrupt officials are still rampant and the people are poor...

This is really far from the prosperity in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

If this is the best era, then what will Daming be like afterward? !

Zhu Yuanzhang desperately wanted an answer from Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu nodded and continued,

"The first stage is the era when the establishment of the new dynasty thrives.

Then,

The second stage is the emergence of vested interests in the new dynasty, replacing the noble officials of the old dynasty to carry out land annexation

In other words, the second stage is the stage of land annexation!

At this stage, the class of landowners continued to emerge and emerge. They could be relatives of the emperor or later officials.

In short, they hold a large amount of means of production in their hands, and hold a large amount of power.

The two can be continuously switched. "

Liu Xiu paused and continued,

"But fortunately, at the beginning of the second dynasty, there was still a lot of land,

Therefore, even if these landlord classes try their best to annex the land, it will not have much impact on the structure of the entire dynasty.

It is even said that the large amount of land they hold can integrate agricultural resources, thereby promoting the rapid economic revival of the Qing Dynasty,

Therefore, often at this time, there will be a more prosperous scene than before,

For example, in the prosperous Kaiyuan period after the reign of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty,

But, Your Majesty, you know that the prosperity of Kaiyuan is just a false prosperity that covers up a lot of contradictions,

After the prosperity of Kaiyuan, the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty took a turn for the worse. After the annexation of the land, there was a separatist regime, and the Tang Dynasty had no prosperity since then. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded deeply and said,

"We have thought over and over again, why there are so many differences between the Tang Dynasty and the Kaiyuan period, it is like a sky and a ground,

After hearing what you said today, I suddenly realized that the contradiction existed long ago, but it just didn't show up..."

Liu Xiu nodded and said,

"After entering the late stage of the second stage, land mergers will only become more and more serious.

With the endless expansion of the landlord class, the land that was originally abundant in the new dynasty became insufficient.

And by that time, the owner-peasants have long been kicked out of the game and reduced to tenant farmers under the landlord class.

Even if they live a hard life, they can still earn a living, so they will not rebel,

And land resources are becoming more and more precious, making the remaining landlord class become enemies,

The society is becoming more and more introverted, and everyone from top to bottom is in danger.

It will inevitably lead to continuous natural and man-made disasters, and the dynasty has also begun to enter a downhill road. "

crackle!

After Liu Xiu finished speaking, the room fell into a dead silence, even the faint burning of candles seemed so piercing.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da and asked, "How much land has the Lu family copied?"

Xu Da said directly, "Thirty thousand hectares."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and the murderous intent poured out like opening the gate to release water, which made Liu Xiu feel as if the temperature in the house had dropped a few degrees.

Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly,

"It seems that we have killed lightly! We edited the fish scale atlas, and the cultivated land in the world is only 380 million hectares! His Lu family only occupies [-] hectares!"

"If there are a hundred Lu clans in the world, is there still a way for the common people to survive?! Then is there a way for our Daming to survive?!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was not loud, the words in his words were like thunder, which shocked Xu Da and Song Zan to the spot.

How could they not hear the implication of Zhu Yuanzhang's words? !

The Lu family in Anqing Mansion has fallen, but what about the court officials in Ying Tian Mansion?What about the officials under the various vassal kings?

Whichever one you want to name, doesn't it occupy at least a thousand hectares? !

Daming has so much land, is it enough for this group of people? !

Lao Zhu stroked his hands, which were covered with thick calluses and scars from years of fighting.

Could it be that the world we have single-handedly built is for these moths? !

We disagree!

Old Zhu's eyes were full of murderous intent, thinking about whether to use the Lu's case as an excuse to kill another batch of corrupt officials,

Song Zan's eyes flickered slightly, resisting the pressure and saying,

"Your Majesty, you might as well listen to Liu Xiu."

Lao Zhu closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Liu Xiu, his eyes burst out with confusion,

"Go ahead and tell us."

Liu Xiu continued, "The third stage is the stage of the dynasty's demise.

The annexation of land is getting more and more serious, as your Majesty said, the land in the world is no longer enough for this group of people,

Perhaps at the beginning of the dynasty, this group of landlords were comrades-in-arms who shared the peasants, but at the end of the dynasty, they became endless enemies.

They control politics, economics, and academics, and the family business they have accumulated through blood sucking from generation to generation makes them extremely selfish, and they will never give up any of their own interests.

Therefore, the war between the landlord class is inevitable,

And this war is the fuse, which will directly ignite all contradictions.

There is only one ending..."

Zhu Yuanzhang spit out two words coldly,

"Death."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "When it perishes, a new dynasty will appear again, and it will go round and round, and the cycle will continue. This is the law of historical cycles."

Xu Da slowly closed his eyes, but he still couldn't control the trembling of his eyelids.

On the other side, Song Zan not only trembled with his eyelids, but with his beard and hair, his whole body trembled.

They are all members of the elite class of Ming Dynasty. Although they have not completely turned to the landlord class, they naturally understand better than others.

What Liu Xiu said is true.

Even if Liu Xiu was talking about the future, it still convinced them!

Truth is truth.

Once it comes out, it may be controversial, but it cannot be argued against!

"The law of the cycle of history...the law of the cycle of history..."

Song Zan kept muttering like hysteria,

Suddenly, he thought of something, got up quickly, rummaged through the room for paper and pens,

Even if he has an excellent photographic memory and excellent memory, he still has to record what Liu Xiu said!

Chapter 286

Song Zan pulled a piece of paper to write vigorously, the only sound in the room was the friction of the brush on the rice paper,

And Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were still immersed in Liu Xiu's remarks, chewing repeatedly in their hearts,

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this remark is extremely profound.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said,

"Our Central Plains is a large area of ​​cultivated land,

Even if foreign tribes invade and establish a dynasty, they can only be naturalized by China in the end.

Those who herd sheep and ride horses eventually become farmers.

So no matter how we struggle, as long as we are on this land, everything is the same thing in the end!

Farmer's business! "

Liu Xiu nodded approvingly,

"Your Majesty, it is true!
