Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 22 Daming, will it perish eventually?
Outside Lishui County.

Under the tree at the edge of the field.

Su Jing and Zhu Biao sat cross-legged on the ground, not far away were farmers working in the fields.

Although Zhu Biao was sitting, he was very cautious, or serious.

Because Su Jing may speak casually, but if he accidentally misses something, he will not understand.

"Upper decision decided by the economic background."

Su Jing said lightly: "If you want to understand this sentence, you must first understand what is the economic base and what is the superstructure."

"The so-called economic base refers to the sum of the production relations determined by the productive forces at a certain stage of social development, which constitutes the basis of a certain society."

"The superstructure is the ideology based on the economic foundation and the corresponding systems, organizations and facilities. In class society, it mainly refers to the political and legal systems and facilities."

"The two are causal, the economic base is the cause, and the superstructure is the effect."

"At the heart of it all is the relationship of production."

"Relationships of production refer to the social relations formed by material materials in the production process, and are the social forms of the mode of production, including the form of ownership of the means of production, the status and mutual relationship of people in production, the form of product distribution, and so on."

"The most important of these is the form of ownership of the means of production."

"Okay, Niu Yi, first understand these definitions and digest them, and then I will continue."

Zhu Biao nodded, closed his eyes and carefully recalled what Su Shi said just now.

It's a mouthful, and it's novel.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao's memory is good, and after about half a stick of incense, Zhu Biao opened his eyes and said, "Master Su, I'm healed."

"it is good."

Su Jing said unhurriedly: "Then I will ask you a question. What do you think is the most important means of production in the Ming Dynasty?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Biao replied: "Land."

Su Jing nodded and said: "Yes, in an agricultural society, land is the most important means of production, and the land ownership system of the Ming Dynasty is land private ownership, not only the Ming Dynasty, since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the feudal private ownership of land has continued until now. .”

"Therefore, feudal private ownership of land was the main economic foundation of feudal society."

"Since it is feudal private ownership of land, the ruler must firmly control the land rights in his hands."

"So since the Qin Dynasty, there has been a centralized autocratic system with a high degree of political concentration, until the Ming Dynasty today."

"And the centralized feudal autocratic system is a manifestation of the superstructure."

"This is the embodiment of the economic base determining the superstructure in the Ming Dynasty."

Su Jing tried to make everything as simple as possible, because Zhu Biao is not a modern person, and he may not be able to understand many things.

At this moment, Zhu Biao only hated that he didn't bring a pen and paper, and kept memorizing everything Su Shi said in his heart, for fear that he would miss a word.

Pedantic heaven and man!

These things are things that Zhu Biao could not learn from all his teachers, including his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

"If you have any doubts, you can ask now."

Su Jing looked at the farmers not far away, and said lightly.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Master Su, you said that feudal land ownership and feudal autocracy were formed only from the Qin Dynasty, but before that, what was the situation in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties? At that time, the most important means of production was not land. Is it? The land should not have changed.”

Su Jing turned to look at Zhu Biao, this student made him more and more satisfied.

He smiled and said, "That's a good question. The land has indeed not changed, but during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, production tools were backward, and collective labor was more efficient."

"At that time, the most important means of production will no longer be land, but people."

"So, the society at that time, I call it a slavery society."

"Because the main means of production have become people, their land system is also correspondingly different. The well field system is a product of slavery society."

"The economic base is people, and the superstructure is the field system. This is the economic base at that time determines the superstructure."

Zhu Biao listened carefully, and he was also carefully demonstrating the correctness in his heart.

Su Jing was still very calm, without any worries at all.

The economic foundation in Ma Zhezhong determines the superstructure, but the classic theory has been demonstrated and praised by countless bigwigs in later generations.

It is impossible for a mere ancient boy to find any loopholes.

"Mr. Su, the students have been educated. The economic base determines the superstructure. It is indeed a wise saying."

Zhu Biao bowed his hands towards Su Jing and said seriously.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Niu Yi, it's pretty good to be able to understand these things, but these are just the manifestations of theory, and its core is far more profound than what you hear."

"However, those things are not suitable for you."

Zhu Biao immediately bent down towards Su Jing, and said very earnestly: "Please enlighten me, Master Su!"

"You really want to know?"

Su Jing asked back.

Zhu Biao raised his head, looked at Su Jing solemnly and said, "The Dao is ahead, and I hope that Master Su will satisfy the students' wishes."

Su Jing waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let me tell you, anyway, you are just a child, just listen to it."

"Thank you, Master Su."

Zhu Biao saluted Su Jing again.

Su Jing continued: "As I said just now, Xia, Shang and Zhou belonged to a slavery society, but since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, it has become a feudal society."

"Do you know what was the root cause of this shift?"

Zhu Biao briefly recalled it, and replied: "It is the change of the economic base. Master Su said just now that during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the production tools were backward, so the main means of production was people. From the Qin Dynasty onwards, the main means of production was land. .”

"Just, why did the Qin Dynasty start?"

With that said, Zhu Biao fell into doubts.

Su Jing nodded and said: "Good question, why did the Qin Dynasty start?"

"Because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ironware appeared, and a new production method appeared, ironware ox farming."

"People at that time discovered that the efficiency of iron ox farming was far greater than that of pure labor, and the productivity was greatly improved, so it began to be popularized."

"The well field system of collective labor has been strongly impacted and began to disintegrate continuously."

"Afterwards, the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, redistributed production relations, and the well field system completely disappeared on the stage of history."

"Iron ox farming led to the improvement of the economic base, which allowed the slavery society to enter the feudal society."

"And when a new productivity tool that changes the production method appears next time, the economic base will change again, and the superstructure will also change accordingly, and the feudal society will also disappear!"

"This is the trend of history and an eternal truth."

Feudal society will disappear!

Zhu Biao was directly shocked by these words.

Doesn't the disappearance of feudal society mean the subjugation of Ming Dynasty!
Before Mingming, Master Su raised Daming's problem, and also gave a solution.

In this way, is it impossible to prevent the fate of Ming Dynasty's subjugation?

Daming, will eventually perish?
