After playing an epilogue.

The video ends.

New video appears on high-altitude giant screen

【Dynasty Cycle Rate - Why did the people of ancient China choose to rebel? 】

Seeing this line of eye-catching characters, emperors of all dynasties felt their heads buzzing.

What is the situation with this giant high-altitude screen?

The previous videos frequently promoted the idea that"princes, generals, and prime ministers should have their own kind", and now they directly talk about the rebellion of the Chinese people.

Is this because they are afraid that they will be too comfortable?

Can't you tell me some useful information like where are the gold mines and where are the silver mines?

If that doesn't work, it would be good to have some knowledge about how to make firearms and how to make cannons.

Why do we have to talk about these uncomfortable topics?

Complaints are complaints, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.

You have to see what you should see.

The emperors cast their sights on the giant screen high in the sky

……

【Today I want to talk to you about the periodicity of ancient Chinese dynasties】

【The issue of dynastic periodic law was first raised by the Chinese educator Mr. Huang.】

【When talking about historical issues with his teachers, he said:"I can't tell you what I have heard in my more than sixty years of life, but what I have seen with my own eyes can be said to be as prosperous as it is to be destroyed. A person, a family, a group of people , a place or even a country, many units have failed to escape the dominance of this periodic law"】

【He asked the teacher, is there any way to break out of the historical cycle of the rise and fall of chaos?】

【The teacher also responded to this】

【Let’s not talk about the answer given by the teacher for now. Let’s first take a look at what is the dynastic periodic law?】

【The so-called dynasty cycle law, also called the three-hundred-year cycle, means that the rule of each dynasty in China cannot exceed 300 years.】

【Within 300 years, it will be destroyed】

……

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were shocked

"Boss, is that so? Zhu

Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao thought for a moment and replied in surprise:

"indeed"

"The Qin Dynasty enjoyed the Kingdom for 14 years, the Western Han Dynasty enjoyed the Kingdom for 210 years, the Eastern Han Dynasty enjoyed the Kingdom for 195 years, the Sui Dynasty enjoyed the Kingdom for 38 years, the Tang Dynasty enjoyed the Kingdom for 289 years, the Northern Song Dynasty enjoyed the Kingdom for 167 years, and the Yuan Dynasty enjoyed the Kingdom for 98 years."

"Our Ming Dynasty……"

Zhu Biao recalled the time when the Ming Dynasty fell, and then said:

"276 years of enjoying the country"

"Indeed none of them are more than 300 years old"

"Why is this? Is it really an unchangeable dynastic periodic law?"

Zhu Biao was shocked.

This question is very important.

If this is really an iron rule, does it mean that even if they know the reason for the demise of Ming Dynasty from the giant screen in the sky, even if they make remedies, they cannot change the fate of Ming Dynasty in three hundred years. The reason for their demise within 300 years?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other.

They suddenly felt panicked. 207 At the same time, in other dynasty planes, many emperors were worried about the cyclical rate of dynasty that would be destroyed within 300 years. And extremely shocked

……

【Looking at the reasons for the demise of various dynasties in ancient China, there are many different opinions. There are harems that interfere with politics, relatives who have exclusive power, eunuchs who disrupt the government, powerful ministers who force the palace, generals who rebel, and emperors who are mentally retarded.……】

【These views from the perspective of elites are just proven again and again. The affairs of princes are all recorded in books, while the history of history does not record the affairs of ordinary people.】

【In the eyes of the elite, the most important component of a country: the people, are insignificant, like cattle and horses that are kept in captivity and guided.】

【This ideological limitation led to the continuous changes of dynasties in ancient China. No matter what patches the subsequent dynasties made on the basis of the previous dynasty, they could not escape the lifespan of the dynasty cycle. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Hey, the heroic view of history"

"The dynasty periodic law is an objective law and cannot be changed."

……

"Is it really impossible to escape?"

The emperors of all dynasties became even more panicked.

"Also, what does this limitation of thought mean? Don’t pay attention to the people?"

Many emperors kept thinking in their minds.

This is a major matter related to the survival of the country.

At the same time, they looked at the giant screen in the sky more intently, wanting to know more about the cyclical law of the dynasty.

……

【At the beginning of the dynasty, the population suffered a serious decline after years of melee, and the country was in ruins.】

【In the process of industrial recovery, the population and economy will develop greatly, and the dynasty will also begin to enter a period of rise.】

【During the reconstruction process, because all walks of life need manpower, the demand for manpower is very huge】

【Therefore, it is not a problem for people to make a living and have enough food and clothing.】

【When society stabilized, the dynasty also ushered in its heyday. At this stage, population and economic development tended to be stable.】

【During the period of economic stability, the imperial court accumulated a large number of talents】

【In order to give their children a good future, the private sector attaches great importance to their children's education, which makes the private talent pool very large.】

【Therefore, at this time, the dynasty’s national power was unprecedentedly strong】

【However, the crisis was also laid at this moment】

……

The emperors looked sternly.

Let’s talk about what they care about most

……

【No matter how huge a country's industry is or how many jobs it can provide, it cannot satisfy human greed.】

【As the dynasty's national power reached its peak, the dynasty's class was also completely solidified.】

【Changes of power only occur when partisan struggles fail】

【Ordinary people have no way to rise. (abah)】

【The huge rentier class must find a good job for their children. Just like the offspring of tigers are born at the top of the food chain, the descendants of the rentier class must be born into the rentier class.】

【Parents will do whatever it takes to pave the way. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Real, too real"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is called family responsibility. (dog head)"

"The solidification of classes will lock the upward path of ordinary people, and society will have problems sooner or later."

"……"

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the four words"class solidification" and pondered in his heart.

He understood the meaning and knew the problems.

The purpose of vigorously promoting the imperial examination system is to provide students from poor families with a way to rise.

But the effect is good.

Li Shimin thought of the previous video about the imperial examination.

Most of the candidates in the Tang Dynasty were from noble families.

"How to change this situation?"

Li Shimin thought about it in his heart.

……

【After all, good jobs are limited. At this time, the rentiers at the top will start to plunder downwards.】

【Pressure is passed down layer by layer until it reaches the people at the bottom】

【With the development of time, the number of rentier class has become larger and larger.】

【As for the monsters among the people, the court must and can only absorb them and make them become the rentier class.】

【Therefore, the pressure on the people at the bottom is increasing, and they can only struggle to survive on the food and clothing line despite trying their best.】

【As long as there is some natural or man-made disaster at this time, the dynasty will inevitably decline.】

……

Emperors of all dynasties were horrified.

They realize that the harm of class solidification may be more serious than they imagined.

How to solve this problem?

They looked at the giant screen high in the sky, hoping to get answers from the giant screen

……

【The impact of natural disasters on history is unpredictable, so man-made disasters are the main theme of dynastic turmoil.】

【We all know that one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver are worth the money of a Qing magistrate.】

【In ancient dynasties, if you wanted to climb up the ranks as an official, it was impossible to establish connections without spending money.】

【And the so-called opening up a relationship is just a bribe.】

【The amount of official bribes is a cost to officials】

【How should officials recoup these costs? Naturally, the people are governed by exploitation】

【The magistrates and county magistrates below naturally did not dare to take the dirty money gained from the people. They needed to find a protective umbrella, that is, to find a high-ranking court minister.】

【We all know there are people up there who are easy to do.】

【Therefore, in order to protect one's corruption gains, the money given to the protective umbrella must not be saved.】

【The officials above do not need to be punished personally. They can still be satisfied just by relying on the filial piety of the officials under their protection.】

……

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly:

"Corrupt officials should all die!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As the most famous anti-corruption fighter in ancient China, he hated corruption the most in his life.

When he killed corrupt officials, he showed no mercy and used all kinds of tricks.

But even if he killed ten There are tens of thousands of corrupt officials, and corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty still exist.

In this regard,

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude is to keep killing.

Just like when he executed the consort Ouyang Lun, his daughter asked him,"In the world, who is not corrupt, but my father can Can you finish the killing?"Answer:

"How do you know that you can't finish the killing?"

……

【If merchants want to do business well, they must pay filial piety to officials.】

【If you are filial, your business will at least be able to continue. If you are not filial, if you set any standards, they will not be able to meet them.】

【Under layers of exploitation, these costs will ultimately be borne by the people, and the pressure on people's lives will increase day by day.】

【What should people do if their lives are too stressful?】

【The first is to sell off the property】

【The most important real estate in ancient times was land.】

【Compared with selling off land, the ancients gave priority to selling sons and daughters. Normal people would only consider selling land when there was really no other way.】

【During the rise of the dynasty, land annexation never disappeared.】

【When the dynasty fell into trouble, land annexation became more serious. 】

The barrage flew out:

"I think this is the core reason why the dynasty periodic law cannot be avoided."

"The rich have endless fields, while the poor have no place to stand. The landless peasants cannot survive, and in the end they have no choice but to rebel."

"All feudal dynasties in ancient China could not avoid the phenomenon of land annexation in the end, and could not escape the law of dynasty cycle."

"Reply - I'm curious. There were many wise kings in ancient dynasties. Didn't they know the seriousness of this problem? Have you ever thought about solving it?"

"Reply - I've definitely thought about it, but no matter how wise you are, you can only control it while you're in power, and you can't completely solve it."

"Reply - Yes, to completely solve this problem, we must implement land reform and completely eliminate the landlord class just like our country! is it possible? Of course it's impossible! Because in ancient times, the emperor or the royal family was the largest landowner. The nobles and gentry could only be regarded as small landowners in front of the emperor."

"Reply - Indeed, if in ancient times, like us, private ownership of land was abolished and changed to collective ownership, land annexation should be able to be eliminated."

"Reply – Didn’t some people in ancient times engage in state-owned land?"

"Reply - Wang Mang, right? Then he subjugated the country, and if it was state-owned under the ancient feudal monarchy, wouldn't it all belong to the emperor? (happy)"

"Reply - We are collectively owned, which is not the same as state owned. I won’t explain the details. In short, it ensures that there is land for the tiller."

"Reply - In fact, the current situation is that there are fields, but no one wants to plant them."

"……"[]

The common people of all dynasties were shocked when they saw the narration subtitles and numerous barrages on the giant screen.

"In later generations, the Dragon Kingdom completely eliminated the landlords?"

"Land to the tiller?"

"There is land and no one wants to plant it?"

Looking at this information, many people in ancient times simply couldn't believe it.

They were too envious. They were envious of having land and not having to endure the oppression of landlords...

On the other side, many emperors in the past dynasties were silent.

They were all people who read history books. They are not unaware of the harm of land annexation.

They are also trying to solve it.

But it is naturally impossible to carry out land reform and completely eliminate the landlord class like the Dragon Kingdom in later generations.

So they can only think of other ways.

……

【Without the help of natural disasters, man-made disasters such as converting rice into mulberry and destroying embankments and flooding fields can be caused. When there is a natural disaster and help, the local tyrants and gentry will not be able to say how happy they are.】

【This has not taken into account economic factors.】

【If low grain prices hurt farmersIn good years, farmers have a bumper harvest. There is too much grain on the market and cannot be sold at a high price. Ordinary farmers have no means of storing grain and can only sell it at low prices.】

【The situation in the coming year will be bad and there will be no harvest. If you want to buy back the food you sold before, the money you have to spend will not be the same.】

【Affected by various natural and man-made disasters, a large number of people have no way to survive and can only become refugees begging for food.】

【When these people become refugees, the taxes they originally had to pay will need to be borne by those who did not run away.】

【The pressure on those who did not run suddenly increased, and soon someone would have to run away again.】

【As the number of refugees increases, the court's tax revenue will also be affected. 】

The barrage flew out:

"As the tax base becomes smaller, the country will collect less tax."

"This is a vicious cycle!"

"……"

Many refugees from the plane at the end of the dynasty looked at the giant screen in the sky and sighed in their hearts.

It’s not that they want to be refugees.

It's because they have no choice but to become refugees.

……

【Because the people under the rule ran away one after another, the local officials who stayed behind could only intensify their exploitation methods in order to make enough money.】

【When the people's lives are unsustainable and the refugees and disaster victims can't even survive begging for food, they can only choose to give the court a little surprise.】

【That is: rebellion! 】

The barrage flew out:

"You call this a little surprise? It's a surprise, right?"

"No one can live anymore, so the only option is to rebel and try, and maybe stand up and become the emperor."

"Reply – What a guy! Zhu Yuanzhang directly called the expert"

"Reply - This probability is too small"

"Reply - Believe in this probability, it is better to buy lottery tickets"

"In fact, the Chinese people have very strong endurance. They will not rebel unless they have no way out."

"……"

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed:

"If they really can't live, who would be willing to rebel with their heads up?"

"So, boss, please remember that ensuring that the people have enough food and clothing is a king’s top priority."

"If the people have food to eat, they will not rebel."

Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Biao seriously.

"I remember. Zhu

Biao replied solemnly

……

【Although the court has disaster relief methods to delay the arrival of small surprises, this method is still an indicator but not a cure.】

【After all, the emperor can say today that the money and grain will be returned to the disaster area, but tomorrow the officials will dare to sell the court's grain to the victims at a high price.】

【It’s impossible for the emperor to stare there every day】

【The situation in the disaster area depends entirely on what officials say.】

【Even if a small surprise comes, it will be given to the emperor first. If the sky falls, there will be a high top.】

【The level of disaster relief depends entirely on the conscience of officials and inspectors】

【If there are no officials with a bad conscience, they will have no fear of committing evil acts. They are afraid that if they don't commit less evil acts, the emperor will not receive any small surprises.】

……

Many emperors in the past dynasties were deeply touched by the situation mentioned in the giant screen.

Whenever there is something like disaster relief, there will always be corrupt officials.

Moreover, as emperors, they could not leave the palace, and they could only rely on reports from their officials to grasp information.

Collusion among officials to protect each other is also a problem.

Thinking of this, many emperors thought of the magical mobile phone of the Dragon Kingdom in later generations.

They couldn't help but think that if their dynasty had mobile phones, disaster relief officials could report the situation at any time through mobile phone videos.

In this way, there is no need to worry about officials failing to provide disaster relief.

Regarding their idea, it can only be said that they don't know that there is something called staged photography in the world..
