Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 357 Today's world is not the world of the world's people
[Current historical influence rating: high. 】

[Issuing phased rewards: [-] stone sweet potatoes. 】

Zhu Di was in a trance for a while, and then returned to reality.

He asked suspiciously: "What is this sweet potato?"

[Sweet potato is a crop with strong vitality. Whether it is hills or sandy soil, regardless of rich or poor, sweet potato can grow tenaciously.Except for a few areas with particularly high altitudes, most areas are good places to produce sweet potatoes. 】

Zhu Di touched his chin: "I don't know, whether this thing is good or bad."

If he remembers correctly, after more than 100 years, Daming will fall into a continuous crisis of natural disasters.And the original Ming Dynasty's subjugation was also affected by this.

Zhu Di is no longer the original Zhu Di. He now sees things with a very long-term perspective.

"According to the system, sweet potatoes should be a kind of food that is suitable for planting and can be produced on a large scale."

Zhu Di pondered, "The development of agricultural production can increase the population. The increase in population means that the demand for food will increase. Once there is a natural disaster in the original history, agricultural production will not be able to support the population demand, which means that Ming will fall into a crisis. During the food crisis."

This is a very magical logic: because agriculture has developed, so agriculture has fallen behind.

But Zhu Di also realized that he seemed to have overlooked a more important question: "Wait a minute, according to the original history, the time period for the outbreak of natural disasters should be 200 years later..."

"At that time, if there was a food crisis in Da Ming, the whole world would donate blood to Da Ming."

That's the key!

With Xiaosi's speed of expanding the territory after he ascended the throne, how can he wait until 200 years later, and he will almost turn the earth into a bright ball in 20 years.

At that time, the Central Plains will fall into a food crisis, and the dozens of provinces in the west will not be able to obediently supply blood?

"Forget it, wait for Xiao Si to come back from the south and let him decide."

After Zhu Di returned to the real world, he lay flat again, without the spirit of pointing the sky in the fantasy world.

If you have any questions, just ask Xiaosi, and Xiaosi says whatever you want.

……

Yangzhou, the scenery is just right at this time, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, the breeze is warm, and under the bright and rising sun, put a small table and set up fragrant tea for drinking.

Opposite Zhu Gaoxuan was Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black. This senior monk was over 50 years old. In the Ming Dynasty, when the average life expectancy was about 80 years old, it was quite rare for a long-lived old man to be over [-] years old.

"In my life, I have done countless karma, and I don't know how many people died because of me. After I die, I should fall into the [-]th level of hell and suffer endless suffering."

Yao Guangxiao may have known that his death was approaching, but his voice was still calm, "I'm afraid too, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the endless suffering. Therefore, I want to do some good deeds before I die, to eliminate some of my karma, When you go to hell, you can suffer less."

Zhu Gaoyi chuckled and said: "A good person has done good things all his life, but he only needs to do one bad thing before he dies, then he is a hypocrite. But a wicked person has done evil things all his life, and he only needs to do one good thing, then he can put down the butcher knife Instantly become a Buddha."

"There are so many likes and dislikes in this world, it's just my own questioning."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't hear what you said. Because I believe that there is a god in this world, but you don't believe it. Not only you, but also your father and your grandfather, they don't believe in this world. There is God."

"Your grandfather once became a monk in the past and worshiped temples. Your father also made great efforts to build Buddhist gates. They call themselves the sons of heaven, but whether it is your father, your grandfather, or yourself, you don't believe in God. .”

"In your hearts, there is only one god in this world, and that is you."

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled and didn't answer, as if he had acquiesced to what the old monk said.

The three generations of their old Zhu family were all atheists.

Rather than expecting the blessings of the gods, they are more willing to use their own hands to achieve themselves.

Zhu Gaoxuan asked: "Old monk, what do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao felt a little confused, so he asked, "What are you asking?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said: "How do you see the situation of the world, the people of the world, how do you see the connection between man and God?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled lightly and shook his head, avoiding answering.

Zhu Gaoxuan asked: "I have already answered your question, so why don't you say a word?"

Helpless, Yao Guangxiao could only say: "Today's world is not the world of the Zhu family, nor the world of the people in the world. I used to think that if King Yan and I brought the world down, the world would be ours, but I was wrong. , The world we conquered is not the real world.”

Zhu Gaoxuan frowned slightly: "Why does the young master express such emotion?"

Yao Guangxiao said slowly: "The authority of the Son of Heaven can be ruled by princes or generals. But for the localities, they recognize the authority of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is considered the Son of Heaven."

The place does not refer to the people, but refers to the family that is entrenched in the place.

The intertwining of generations from generation to generation has formed a complex chain of interests. When all the chains of interests intersect, it is clearly a structure built on the common people. The blood and sweat of the common people is used to divide the interests, but the interests are at the table. There is no place for the people.

The emperor is nothing more than a diner sitting at this benefit table.

"This is the case in any country. When the dynasty was first established, there was still room for the bottom to rise. But as the structure and rules of the dynasty gradually improved, this channel that allowed the bottom to reach the top was completely cut off."

Zhu Gaoxuan said calmly, "My grandfather was a poor monk at the beginning. General Chang Yuchun was a bandit who followed the Green Forest Bandit to rob houses. General Xu Da and my grandfather grew up herding cattle. General Mu Ying Both parents died at the age of seven and wandered and begged in Haozhou. Song Lian, the head of the founding civil servants, was born in a poor family and couldn't even afford books when he was young..."

"But if you look at it now, how many people in this dynasty are the sons of farmers?"

"Everyone has been labeled with ranks and ranks since birth. No one can bridge this class gap. The sons of princes are alternate princes, and the sons of generals are hereditary generals. Although civil servants do not There is no succession, but in a family of one generation and a hundred generations, which one of the sons of the Shangshu will grow sorghum rice?"

"Let's take the two brothers Su Wen and Su Wu as an example. They were beggars picked up alone on the street, but if it weren't for the fact that they were born in Fujian, and they were taught by famous teachers since they were young, would they have achieved today's achievements?"

"It's true that what Su Wen and Su Wu can really make Gu value is their talent. Su Wen can draw inferences from one example at a glance at the art of war, and Su Wu can deduce the finances of a province just by flipping through two or three volumes of financial books. But if it wasn't because of their childhood How can this talent be brought into play even though it has received a first-class education?"

"The children from ordinary tenants can't read a single word. No matter how talented they are, they don't have the opportunity to display their talents."

"What really destroys the foundation of a country is the monopoly on the education of children in ordinary people's homes."

What Zhu Gaoxuan said made Yao Guangxiao fall into deep thought.

It was a question he had never imagined.

The examination system in the Han Dynasty used filial piety as the main subject for selecting talents to serve.The main feature is that the local governor inspects at any time within the jurisdiction, selects talents and recommends them to the superior or the central government, and then appoints officials after a trial assessment.

However, under this system, the aristocratic families worked together to block the channels for the poor families to rise.There are no poor families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class, which is the most realistic situation in the Han Dynasty.

The introduction of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties opened a door to the highest power for the poor.

The rise of the imperial examination system ensured that the selection of officials in the dynasty would not be absolutely selected from the powerful and noble families, so the powerful and noble families could not monopolize political resources.

Even so, the system is dead, but people are alive, and the aristocratic family has ten thousand ways to block the channel for the poor family to rise.

Zhu Gaoxuan asked: "Master, do you know when the absolute monopoly of the aristocratic family's upper-level channels began to break away from their control?"

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Huang Chao is making trouble?"

The time when Wu Huan Hua was in chaos was the golden period for the development of aristocratic families.Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families have all had Wubao, land, dependent farmers, books, and fame. The Hu people are more likely to destroy civilians or powerful industries. Hundreds of years of accumulation until the Sui and Tang Dynasties gave birth to monsters like the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

The invasion of foreigners in the north was just to make them soft, and the family had almost ended as early as the Anshi Rebellion.From the beginning of Zhenguan to the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, the family was in decline, and during Wu Zetian's reign, the family was even disabled.

Huang Chao's rebellion was not for the people, nor for the poor.He himself was not considered a poor man, he was very rich because of smuggling, the reason why he failed the imperial examination was obviously because his own level was too poor, and he didn't even have the qualifications to operate in the dark.

As long as Huang Chao is a little level, he is not at all level.

This guy belongs to the bandit class, and belongs to the bottom of the class contempt chain. He didn't start the uprising for the so-called equalization of the rich and the poor, the equalization of land, let alone for the interests of the people, it was purely for himself.

But Huang Chao still did some personnel affairs, for example, he stabbed the throat of a family member.

For Huang Chao, the family class is not important to him, and the poor family class is not important to him, but the money of the family is very important to him.

This guy directly burned, killed and plundered all the way, relying on his unscrupulous martial arts, he robbed the family that was maimed by the Tang royal family into paupers.

However, Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head: "Emperor Tang? Huang Chao?"

"No, they just crippled the aristocratic family. The Tang Dynasty crippled the aristocratic family, and Huang Chao killed the aristocratic family. The troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms completely wiped out the remnants of the old aristocrats."

"But after the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms came to an end, aristocratic families have sprung up again. Only with the establishment of a new dynasty, there will be the existence of aristocratic families."

"However, do you know why the Northern and Southern Songs, and even the Ming Dynasty, were far less powerful than the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs in the early Tang Dynasty, so that the imperial court bowed their heads?"
