Chapter 224 has clear rewards and punishments, and continues to open up the territory

"This is a spell, Chen Lang, no one can break this spell!" Li Xiuning has now finally figured out the real core of the problem. The so-called prosperous era is just a period when the number of people and the bearing capacity of the land are balanced, and it has nothing to do with whether the king is virtuous or not.

As long as the population does not grow faster than the limits of the land's capacity, even a pig can create a prosperous dynasty. It's like Sima Yan, is he wise? Is he holy? He is not wise, because a bald tree with a bald hair department of only 30,000 dingkou has been wreaking havoc in Qin Liang for more than ten years, killing four generals and two assassins in the imperial court in a row, and formulating a series of stupid national policies, which have brought Huaxia into the abyss. However, it is still called "the rule of Taikang" in the history books, which is really a big joke in the world.

Conversely, once the population exceeds the limit of the land's bearing capacity, and the limited land can no longer support so many people, there will be a man-made mass extinction, forcibly reducing the population to a relatively low level, which is equivalent to clearing the system and starting over. For thousands of years, the whole world has been repeating this process, the difference is that we can always rule after the chaos, and in some places, the chaos is followed by endless chaos, which lasts for thousands of years.

Under Chen Ying's reminder, Li Xiuning finally penetrated the layers of fog and saw through the essence of the matter. She panicked, she was scared, and her voice trembled unconsciously: "Chen Lang, it's really a spell, Qiang Qin is like this, Qiang Han is the same, and Qiang Sui is the same!" ”

Some people may wonder why Li Xiuning said this. Because the fundamental core of the Qin State is in Guanzhong, lies in the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, as the Qin army swept through the six countries of Shandong, there were countless soldiers who were knighted for their military merits in the Qin State. During the sweep of the Six Kingdoms, there were as many doctors as there were doctors in the Great Qin Army, and they traveled everywhere. However, the land in Guanzhong is limited, a public ride is 20 tilts of 2,000 acres, plus 95 tilts of the Hou of Guannei, this is 9,500 acres, the land in Guanzhong is not enough, and the soldiers did not get rewards after their meritorious service, and the Qin Dynasty military lord system collapsed, not to mention that Qin II is not good, even if he has the ability of Qin Shi Huang, he also rests, because the foundation of Great Qin is millions of Qin soldiers.

The princes of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, such as Ding Yuan, Gongsun Zan, and Dong Zhuo, all of them could be in a corner of the land and press Zhu Hu, but the Han Dynasty still collapsed, because of land annexation, so that the soldiers did not agree with the court, and the people did not agree with the court.

Chen Ying swore and said: "No, I can, this spell can be broken!" ”

"How can you break it, the land is limited, and the population will only grow more and more until the empire is crushed!" Li Xiuning seemed to have blood and fire in front of him, and the most tragic thing in every dynasty that died was actually the royal family. Yang Guang's eldest grandson, Yan Wang Yang Qi, was killed by Yu Wenhua in the Jiangdu Rebellion at the age of fifteen. The second grandson Yang Tong was killed by Wang Shichong at the age of fifteen, and the acting king Yang Yu died violently at the age of fourteen. The worst was Yang Guang's youngest son, Yang Gao, who was only twelve years old when he died. Yang Guang's two daughters, except for Princess Nanyang, who married Yu Wenshi first, and the second daughter Yang Xi was forcibly accepted as a concubine by Li Shimin, who was only thirteen years old at the time.

Li Xiuning naturally knew that Yang Xi would definitely not be willing to commit herself to Li Shimin, but in the face of the general trend, she was a woman and had no other way but to accept her fate. Li Xiuning seemed to see that a few years later, the Tang Empire also collapsed, and the men of the Li Tang clan were cut off like chickens, and the women were pressed under them, moaning in pain......

It's a spell,

This is also fate.

This is glory,

It is also sad......

Li Xiuning's eyes were full of mist.

Chen Ying gently held Li Xiuning in his arms, his hand gently stroked Li Xiuning's back, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is mine!" ”

Li Xiuning shook his head and said, "I'm really afraid, and I don't know if it's right or wrong for my father to do this......"

Chen Yingdao: "It is really not difficult to solve this problem, there are many ways. ”

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying in surprise, this almost unsolvable problem, she didn't think of it even if she wanted to break her head, but Chen Ying actually said that he had many ways, which made Li Xiuning feel a little unbelievable.

Chen Ying said noncommittally: "Whether the empire is prosperous or the last days, the root of the problem is in the land!" If we can increase crop yields and feed more people with less land; For example, one acre of land in Datang can produce ten or twenty stone of grain. ”

"How is this possible......" Li Xiuning had just finished speaking, and suddenly remembered the disgusting thing she had seen in the Qinglin outside Chang'an City before, which was said to be the so-called chemical fertilizer? Li Xiuning asked, "Is it chemical fertilizer?" ”

If Chen Ying said that Li Xiuning decided to go back immediately, he would let Li Yuan fully promote the use of that kind of chemical fertilizer no matter what.

"Yes!" Chen Yingdao: "Chemical fertilizer can increase the yield of crops, it can increase the yield by five times, or ten times, but it can never increase the yield by 20 times, which requires re-cultivation of seeds." ”

Li Xiuning said suspiciously: "Do the seeds still need to be cultivated?" ”

Chen Ying smiled slightly: "Seeds are actually the same as people, they have genes. For example, people often say that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of mice are born to make holes, which is the truth, even if it is an ugly monster, if it is combined with a superb beauty, the child born will have half a chance of becoming beautiful. It's the same with seeds, nature is very cruel, under the survival of the fittest, the good seeds will only get better and better, and the bad seeds will get smaller and smaller. ”

Li Xiuning seemed to understand and said: "I see, that is to say, the output of our fields per mu is ten times that of the original, which is equivalent to ten times more of our fields?" ”

"Yes, increasing the output per acre of land is only one of the ways!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "In fact, I still have many ways to solve this problem, for example, let the family and the gate valve pay taxes the same as ordinary people, and even let the rich bear more taxes, and when inheriting the inheritance, the imperial court can collect one or three cents of the inheritance tax, so that the imperial court can delay this problem!" ”

Li Xiuning heard the meaning of Chen Ying's words: "This can only be delayed, not avoided." ”

"Yes, paying taxes for the whole people and increasing the yield per mu can only treat the symptoms and delay the pressure brought by the increase in population, but it cannot fundamentally solve this problem!" Chen Yingdao: "Don't worry, if you want to solve this problem fundamentally, if you can keep opening up the territory, let the land grow with the growth of the population, ensure that the cultivators have their fields, every household has surplus grain, and there is meat to eat, then, this spell will be invalid, and the damn troubled times will never come!" ”

Li Xiuning's mood finally brightened up like a cloud.

Li Xiuning said: "No, I must go to my father immediately, this matter must be prepared for a rainy day and laid out in advance." ”

Li Xiuning couldn't even take care of eating, so she hurriedly returned to the tent and asked He Yue'er to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Spreading out the paper, Li Xiuning picked up the pen and wrote, this letter written in the form of a family letter, the beginning is that Li Xiuning will talk with Chen Ying, especially Chen Ying's detailed explanation of the troubled times and prosperous times. And Li Xiuning unceremoniously pointed out: "In the land of Xuan, the East China Sea on the left, the quicksand on the right, the front Jiaozhi, the back of the secluded capital, the division from Rongguan, to Pushui Shi more than 100 million, but they all shot backwards and fought with halberds." King Wu manipulated Huang Yue on his left, and Bai Xuan on his right, then disintegrated and left, and then collapsed. However, Erchen did not agree with this reasoning.

Erchen believed that land annexation was the root cause of the collapse of an empire. The lessons of the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo, they failed again and again, and countless elite soldiers were buried in that black land. This is not the most deadly, the most fatal thing is that Yang Guang's prestige has been lost, and some stubborn and incompetent figures have occupied the center, who have turned a blind eye to such a dangerous situation, and only care about using the power in their hands to exclude dissidents, frantically grabbing profits, and not caring about the lives of the common people.

Many of Yang Guangdi's decrees could not be implemented at all, except for tax increases. Yang Guangwei exterminated the traitors, and demanded that the people pay an extra ten cents of taxes each to exterminate the thieves, and this group of shameless officials could be added to the same or even more silver, and the most shameful thing is that those who own thousands of acres, tens of thousands of acres, or even hundreds of thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, do not pay a penny of taxes, and are proud of tax evasion, ashamed of paying taxes, and such heavy taxes have all fallen on the common people.

Most of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty had been forced to ruin their families, and naturally lost their loyalty to the imperial court, and hundreds of thousands of Yang Guang's best-equipped and best-trained Xiaoguo army unceremoniously rebelled against Yang Guang and stood on the opposite side of Yang Guang. Finally, they pushed Yang Guang to the abyss of hell, and many people of insight were lamenting that the country was running out.

The father and the son thought about it and found that this was a curse that was difficult to get rid of in all dynasties, and a reincarnation of fate that was difficult to jump out of in all dynasties......

When Li Yuan, who was in Chang'an, saw this letter, he was instantly shocked into a cold sweat.

As the founder of the country, he is not blind to these problems, but the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Because Li Yuan has already entered the game, it is impossible to see this at all. However, Chen Ying could, because he was not in the game.

Any dynasty will fall apart when it comes to this point, Liu Han is finished like this, natural and man-made disasters, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes rose together, and finally the four hundred years of strong Han and the princely state collapsed.

The Jin Dynasty also ended up like this, Sima Yan chose an idiot to be the emperor, so the rebellion of the Eight Kings fought for more than ten years, exhausted the last vitality of the Western Jin Dynasty, and finally the Xiongnu, Qian, Xianbei, Di, Qiang, Ding Ling, Tiefo, Gaoche, Lu Shuihu, Heishui Hu, Zhaowu Jiuhu, Zhuhu rose together, and entered the Central Plains.

The sweat on Li Yuan's forehead was already dense, the sweat behind him wet his clothes, a drop of sweat rolled from Li Yuan's face and fell to the ground, the bead of sweat fell to pieces, and Li Yuan's heart was also like this bead of sweat, a heartbreak.

At this moment, Li Yuan's gaze fell on Li Xiuning's letterhead: "This is a spell, this is the reincarnation of fate." General Chen said that if this curse is broken, the only way to do it is to rule the government clearly, reward and punish fairly, pay taxes for the whole people, increase the yield per mu, and continue to open up the territory......"

When Li Yuan saw this, he yelled at Chen Qi, the regular attendant outside the hall: "Quick, go and invite Pei Xiangguo, Chen Xiangguo, Xiao Xiangguo and other Beijing officials above the fifth rank to come to the Taiji Hall to discuss matters." ”

PS: What, eat first. Wait! Thank you very much Ran Xi for the 1000 points of reward, thank you very much for the 100 points of my name.
