Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 25 Heaven's Path Reincarnation
"You said it couldn't be broken?"

Thinking of what Lao Wu said, his Ming Dynasty is only 270 years old.Old Zhu's face turned pale.

"Fifth brother, isn't it?" After all, it was Prince Zhu Biao who read more books.

"In ancient times, the Xia Dynasty existed for 500 years, and the Shang Dynasty lasted for 600 years. The Zhou Dynasty lasted for 800 years."

"Let's say the Han Dynasty lasted for 300 years. Why do you say that these [-] years are a curse?"

"Xia, Shang and Zhou were ancient times." 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 face of his subordinates. It is not the same as the current emperor."

"The Zhou Dynasty has been around for 800 years, but during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were so many vassal states, did you listen to the King of Zhou?"

Zhu Biaoxin said yes. "But the Han Dynasty..."

"It was broken in the middle of the Han Dynasty." Zhu Su said. "Western Han and Eastern Han, that's not the same thing. To put it bluntly, it's just that the emperor of the later Han happened to be named Liu."

There's nothing wrong with that.Thinking about it this way, it is true that no dynasty can last more than 300 years.

Zhu Biao couldn't help being horrified.

"Could it be that this is God's will?" He asked Zhu Su. "It's heaven, don't you want the dynasties in this world to exceed these 300 years?"

"What is going to heaven or not? Brother, you think too much." Zhu Su waved his hand speechlessly. "This is at most some kind of historical law, which is so mysterious."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang understood the point. "So, do you know what the law is?"

The law of the dynasty's demise!If you know this law and then deduce it in reverse, doesn't it mean that as long as you break this law, you can get out of the curse of the 300-year cycle?
"I do know a little bit. But I can only refer to it for details." Zhu Su said, saying in his heart that all the gods of Zhihu will bless you, and I will use the knowledge you poured water on the Internet to fool the famous Emperor Hongwu!

"In later generations, it is generally believed that there are two reasons." Zhu Su stretched out two fingers.Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Empress Ma all looked solemn and listened seriously to the bragging of Boyi, the fifth son who was just over ten years old.

"The first reason is the theory of land annexation."

"Land annexation?" Old Zhu frowned.

"Yeah." Zhu Su nodded.Turning to look at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, you just said that if you have a bite to eat, you won't fight the world with your head on your trouser belt."

"Then why do we have no food to eat?"

"Then why else!" Speaking of this, Lao Zhu gritted his teeth. "It's not those dog officials in Yuanting that forced us common people to die!"

"Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother were all forced to pay taxes by those dog officials, and they were forced to death!"

Uh, this script is not quite right.Zhu Su sweated secretly, and continued to guide: "Then Dad, why did our family carry it before, but when it came to the great ancestor, we were forced to be unable to carry it?"

"Before, our family still had some land property, and we sold it to Landlord Liu for support for a while..." Old Zhu responded. "You mean...Tian?"

"Yes!" Zhu Su nodded. "Because the fields are all in the hands of the landlords!"

"It is precisely because the common people have no fields and cannot survive, so they can only work hard!"

"Most of the peasant armies in the later Ming Dynasty were like this."

"But, father also designated the fish scale book..." Zhu Biao was still dazed.

"That thing is useless!" Lao Zhu waved his hands irritably.Following the military household system, he once again discovered another flaw in his system.

"Those gentry, there are some ways to make the people sell their land and property."

No, when my family was in Qianyuan, wasn't it because of natural disasters and man-made disasters that I voluntarily sold the land to Landlord Liu as an emergency?
I even spared the cattle for Landlord Liu!
Thinking about it now, aren't those landlords and tax collectors just working together?The tax collectors forced the tax, so the landlord took advantage of the danger and bought all those acres into his own hands at a low price!
"So this point of view is considered." Zhu Su continued. "The so-called cycle of dynasties is actually a series of mergers and redistributions of land distribution."

"Landlords may be exempt from taxes, or have the power to prevent tax collectors from collecting taxes. However, the country's food tax can only be borne by a small number of free farmers."

"If there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, the free farmers will not be able to make ends meet, so they can only sell the land to the landlord in order to have a way of life. So the landlord has more land in his hands, and the peasants will become tenants."

"Such a slow vicious cycle until most of the country's land is occupied by landlords. The people have no hope. At this time, someone will climb up and shout..."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu shuddered suddenly.

Doesn't this scene refer to the end of the Yuan Dynasty?

He and Empress Ma looked at each other. The couple who had experienced the situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty couldn't help but secretly startled.

"To put it bluntly, it is the problem of uneven land distribution." Zhu Su concluded.

"In the early days of the dynasty, why was the country always prosperous and the people safe?" Zhu Biao asked. "There's only so much land in total, why was it enough at the beginning of the dynasty..."

He groaned, already reacting.

Zhu Su sighed. "Why else, 'Nearly half of the household registrations in the world are dead'. Such a description is not uncommon in history books."

"Isn't our Daming the same now?"

Lao Zhu's heart sank.According to this statement, Guotai Minan, which has been complacent in recent years, is only because too many people died because of the chaos of war?
But he couldn't refute it either.Because he knew in his heart that Lao Wu's conclusion was correct.

People's minds are fixed... Although there are only a few words in the history books, what is behind it shows that in this land of China, too many people have died!
Thinking of his dead parents and brothers, Zhu Chongba, who has become the emperor at this moment, feels his nose sour...

"Let's make a note of it." Lao Zhu said hurriedly, for fear that his wife and children would see him crying. "Boss, go back and check the history books to see if there is such a reason for the subjugation of the country in all dynasties."

"Looking back, my father and I will think of a way to use the power of two generations to completely put an end to this troublesome land annexation!"

"Yes." Zhu Biao answered yes loudly.In fact, there is no need to look it up, he has already gone through it in his mind. Indeed, before the fall of the country in all dynasties, he can find records similar to "the rich are connected with fields, and the poor have no place to stand".

It's just that these have never been linked with "Dynasty Reincarnation" before.

Rich people, what age?
"...There is another reason, what is it?" Old Zhu asked Zhu Su. "Say it together. Let's find a way to cook it together!"

"Another one..." Zhu Suxin said that this is much more complicated than the theory of land annexation. "Another reason, Daming will suffer greatly from it in the future..."

"That is,"

"Heaven! Dao! Wheel! Back!"
