'Shu Xiucai' Zhu Chun said: "I'm going to refute you as an uncle." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this world has been decided, although there are occasional rebellions within the four seas, but they are all moss diseases, the next thing to do is to cultivate virtue and politics, and at the same time prevent the Northern Yuan Dynasty from coming back to life, opening up the territory and expanding the territory is very exciting, but it is easy to become a vain waste of national strength like Emperor Yang of Sui. ”

When Yun Xi arrived at this time, he was not nervous, and replied: "What Uncle Eleventh said makes sense, but I have a few questions for Uncle Eleven." ”

"What's the problem?" Zhu Chun said.

"The grain yield of one acre of land is about two stones (dan) in the north, about four stones in the south, and even less in the middle and lower fields. Although the land is not intensive enough because of the small population due to years of war, there is not much room for increasing the yield per mu. ”

"That's true."

"I don't know how many acres of cultivated land there are in the country now, but if the territory is not expanded, the total amount of cultivated land will not increase much, am I right?"

"Not bad."

"The yield per mu will not increase much, and the cultivated land will not increase much, so if the territory does not expand, the total grain output of the whole country will not change much, am I right?"

"Yes." At this time, it seems that someone has thought of something, and he is a little restless.

"And in the case of a stable country and no major wars, the total population of the world will continue to increase, then, one day, the total number of people will exceed the number of people in the country who can be fed by food, am I right?"

“…… You said, I didn't see a problem. ”

"When the population exceeds the largest number of people who can be fed by the total food production, there will be some people who will not be able to eat, and what will happen to these people who have no food? You won't be at home waiting to starve to death. ”

At this time, the whole audience was already gasping, and this theory was no longer particularly correct in later generations due to the rapid progress of science and technology that led to the rapid increase in food production (not to mention taste and nutrition), as well as the popularity of various synthetic foods; But in this era, this theory is the universal truth, and it is a truth that is more true than the universal values of later generations.

At the same time, the princes and grandsons here have not been like the late Ming Dynasty, loudly questioning the captured rebel soldiers why they did not starve to death at home like the 2B civil officials, everyone can know from their father or grandfather Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang's family history that no one will die willingly unnatural death, when everyone is not enough to eat, a flood and drought disaster will lead to a large-scale uprising, or from the perspective of the ruler, it is called a rebellion.

Even Lao Zhu was shocked, he had never thought about this question, but after Yun Xi brought it up, he couldn't refute it. Of course, there are flaws in Yun Xi's words, not everyone who is about to starve to death will revolt, and there will be situations such as Yi Zi eating and eating; Not every uprising necessarily needs to be suppressed on a large scale, and it may be that a few dozen well-fed servants can kill thousands of hungry people, and similar things were often seen in his youth. But as Zhu Yuanzhang, who wants to leave a legacy for future generations, he wants to leave a solution to the problem that may endanger the Ming Dynasty after hundreds of years. Lao Zhu looked at Yun Xi seriously this time to see if he would say a solution next.

In fact, the ancients also had similar ideas, and the Tang Dynasty had a decree to move the people from the narrow land to the wide land, but no one in ancient times had ever systematically summarized these sociological laws, and only then did they have the opportunity to pretend to be forced today. Judging from the on-site response, the effect is very good. However, Yun Xi didn't feel relaxed at all, because Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu who can be regarded as the world's number one boss now, looked at him very seriously, making Yun Xi very nervous, and the clothes on his chest and back were already wet, and he felt as if he went to Wanda to apply for a small staff and turned out to be a big boss Wan, Da Boss, Wang, Jian, and Lin came to interview in person.

But no matter how nervous you are, you have to keep talking! Yun Xi took two deep breaths and continued: "So Sun Er thinks that it is not enough to just keep it in the future, of course, it is necessary to cultivate virtue and politics internally, but it is also necessary to continue to expand the territory and get more fertile land to feed the growing population. If you don't cultivate virtue or overuse the people's power, I am afraid that you will die like the Sui Dynasty. ”

"But if you stick to the legacy of your ancestors and don't want to forge ahead, sooner or later there will be an uprising to try to overthrow my Ming dynasty. Since the Qin Dynasty created a unified dynasty, there were a total of Western Han, Eastern Han, Li Tang, Zhao Song maintained a long time, except for Zhao Song was killed by the Mongols, the other three dynasties were caused by civil uprisings: the Western Han Dynasty mourned the emperor when there were revolt people, but also set fire to Emperor Wu's Maoling, shaking the rule of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty was actually a solution for the Liu family, so that the people of the world thought that the common people could not eat all because of Wang Mang's reform, which led to the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty; Emperor Guangwu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, which lasted for 160 years, but there was already a shortage of food, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the local state was sealed, which shook the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and only then did Wei Wu Dynasty Han. Hearing this, several people noticed that Yun Xi used two words with completely different meanings, "Wang Mang usurped the Han" and "Wei Wu Dynasty Han". Yun Xi seems to have a good impression of Cao Cao. Zhu Yuanzhang thought.

"After the founding of the Tang Dynasty two hundred years later, there was the first large-scale peasant uprising, Wang Xianzhi Huangchao Uprising, but before the Tang Dynasty, there was an Anshi Rebellion, the Uighur Hu soldiers and the soldiers of the three towns poisoned the people, plundered the peasants, and the population plummeted, and it was only recovered after decades."

"Therefore, in order for the Ming Dynasty to continue, it is necessary to either have more arable land to feed more and more people, or let the increased people go to Fanguo to find food by themselves." Yun Xi explained the reasons for the demise of these dynasties and generations in a very novel way from another aspect, and it still makes sense.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke: "Do you think there is anything wrong with what Yunxi said?" He said to his sons. When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he was very serious, as if he was going to court with the ministers, Zhu Quanyun, who had never seen Zhu Yuanzhang like this, and Zhu Yunxi, the protagonist of this book, instantly felt that the sphincter was about to be unable to control the flow of fluid in the bladder (that is, he couldn't control his urine), but the only remaining reason was still making the cranial nerve convey the command of 'stick' to the sphincter.

Zhu Li, the king of Jin, said: "What Yun Xi said makes sense, but if you continue to expand the land, how can you ensure that these distant lands are always under the control of my Ming Dynasty?" The Tang Dynasty expanded westward, once crossed the Aral Sea, the poet immortal Li Bai was born in the west of the Western Regions, but later the Central Plains was chaotic, the land of the Western Regions was lost, and the expansion of the Western Regions also consumed the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. "This King Jin is also a person who has the hope of becoming a prince, so he naturally has to show more, and King Jin is indeed very smart, and when others were still thinking about Yun Xi's opinion, he raised questions.

Everyone also felt that King Jin's concerns were very reasonable, and while thinking about how to do it, they were looking at whether Yun Xi had any way, including Lao Zhu.

If there were railways and telegraphs, it would naturally be easy to control very far away. Yun Xi thought. However, there is neither a railroad nor a telegraph, and Yunxi is not sure when he will be able to develop a steam engine and a practical generator if he starts to intensify research now, so he can't say this; The whites of the Far West ensured that the colonies would not completely get out of control until the second technological revolution by allowing the colony's officials to become militarized. So there is only one way in front of Zhu Yunxi and Da Ming.

"Back to the second uncle's words, the nephew thinks about it, and the only feasible way is to divide the seal, and it is to tear the earth and seal it like King Wu of Zhou back then." As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene (well, just the Zhu family, not including the eunuchs) suddenly changed their expressions in unison. This answer is beyond their imagination, under the idea of great unification that lasted for more than a thousand years after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, everyone will not take this into account when considering the problem, this is the answer that is completely outside the scope of their thinking.

"This, this, I should be the unification of China, how can it, how can it" Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, who has been deeply educated by Confucianism for many years and really loves Confucianism, subconsciously jumped out of such a sentence, but he immediately paused, isn't the Ming Dynasty now implementing the sub-feudal system? Isn't he, Zhu Chun, a feudal town? Although it is not a real territory separation, it is almost the same now, there is an independent army, and the local government is also arbitrarily instructed not to obey, and it is similar to an independent kingdom. The other princes or princes also reacted, if it was really sealed, it would be good for them.

It was Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang who was entangled. As an emperor who can't even tolerate the division of power by the prime minister, and would rather work more than 12 hours a day, the division of the princes on the border is just because he trusts only his own sons the most, and he doesn't want his sons to stand on their own feet, as in the early Han Dynasty, and finally make a mistake to cut the uncle and nephew of the vassal (in fact, the normal emperor who does not stand on his own will also cut the vassal).

Yun Xi didn't know what Lao Zhu was thinking, but said to Uncle Shu Wang: "Uncle Eleven, my China in the Shang and Zhou dynasties is based on the Central Plains, but the feudal princes in the SDHBSXSX Huguang, South Zhili, Zhejiang North, by the time the first emperor ruled the world, the fiefs of the princes have all been my Chinese land, and the people have changed from Huayi mixed to all my Chinese people. If the feudal princes are divided, when they are carried out in remote areas that are not familiar with China, they can greatly expand our Chinese land, and even if China (referring to the traditional Han regime) declines, do the feudal states not need the people of China? Moreover, during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven declined, the princes fought in a scuffle, and finally the Qin State dominated the world; If the Qin State is a vassal state surnamed Ji and a descendant of King Wen or King Wu, then isn't it equivalent to the re-establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, just like Emperor Guangwu built the Later Han Dynasty? ”

Saying this, Yun Xi felt very thirsty and stopped to drink a large cup of tea. This tea is so delicious, I have drunk a lot of tea in modern times, I have never drunk this, it seems that this is the top tea. Having almost finished saying what he had to say, Yoon-hee, who was in a relaxed mood, thought.
