Shi Bufan looked at these three-piece suits that must be had through the Tang Dynasty back then. Gunpowder glass sweet potato, gunpowder Shi Bufan thought that it was not a big problem to get it out, as long as he found someone to spend more money to test it, it could also be tested, because he already knew the three materials that made up gunpowder. But Shi Bufan couldn't get the glass out, and Shi Bufan couldn't fly to the Americas to get this sweet potato. However, Shi Bufan really scoffed at the idea of holding sweet potatoes to cross, as if sweet potatoes could make this feudal dynasty continue forever. Because the high yield of sweet potatoes is one thing, but it is obviously impossible to save the feudal dynasty. The higher the grain output of a feudal dynasty, the greater the lifeline of the feudal dynasty.

Maybe ordinary people don't understand, but for those who think that taking sweet potatoes to cross, they can completely become the elixir of the feudal dynasty, and can make a feudal dynasty continue forever, this is actually very ridiculous. Shi Bufan is sure that he came to the feudal era with sweet potatoes, not only is it not continuing the feudal dynasty, but it is making a talisman for the feudal dynasty, making the feudal dynasty shorter.

Some people pat their heads and think that more food means happiness, but they seriously ignore that human desires are infinite. When you have enough food, when you can eat your stomach, you need more things, such as all kinds of wealth, as well as spiritual enjoyment, and even power, beautiful women, and so on.

Once sweet potatoes were flooded in the Tang Dynasty, it would not take ten years, and once sweet potatoes were widely planted throughout the country, it would inevitably cause a sharp increase in grain production, and then cause a serious situation of grain cheapness and injury to farmers. Once there is a situation where grain is cheap and hurts farmers, the peasants' desire to grow grain will be reduced countless times. Grain production will inevitably decrease, this is a very simple law of economics. Once there is more of a certain product, the price falls, a large number of bankruptcies, and finally the production is cut. Once sweet potatoes cause the consequences of grain cheapness and injury to farmers, the people's desire to grow grain will be reduced to the lowest point.

The invisible hand of the market will naturally cause a large number of farmers to cut their own output, and a large amount of grain will force a large number of yeoman farmers to go bankrupt. Once the yeoman farmers went bankrupt, a large number of people lost their jobs. When agri-food is secured, people will inevitably need more daily necessities. At this time, the production of daily necessities will be greatly improved, and the industry will be gradually developed. Only after the development of industry will it be able to absorb the work needs of a large number of bankrupt peasants, and finally the bourgeoisie will increase in large numbers and enter the stage of history.

Once the bourgeoisie has stepped onto the stage of history, they will naturally not be willing to be exploited by the old big landlords and feudal aristocrats, and they will certainly fight for their own interests. As soon as they began to fight for their own interests, the struggle for power and dominance between the bourgeoisie and the feudal aristocracy would reach a fever pitch. This so-called "revolution" will also break out, and after the outbreak of this revolution, the advanced productive forces will inevitably replace the backward productive forces, and the bourgeoisie will inevitably replace the feudal aristocracy as the new ruling class.

At that time, the so-called feudal dynasty had only one way to perish. Although there may be a constitutional monarchy in England, no one will recognize Britain as a feudal dynasty, because their ruling class is no longer a feudal aristocracy or feudal landlord. And the king has lost power, what is the difference between such an empire and perishing?

When Shi Bufan saw those who thought that with sweet potatoes he could continue a feudal dynasty forever, he just made an evaluation.

"Isn't it like this to die, and isn't it dying to use more advanced productive forces to maintain a more rotten social system? If the feudal productive forces were adopted, the dynastic lifespan might be more than 200 years, but if the productive forces of a more advanced era were used, it might not be 150 years. "Shi Bufan's idea is really stupid and naïve for those who think that crossing with sweet potatoes can perpetuate a feudal dynasty forever.

They don't really understand that the driving force behind historical progress is actually the productive forces, and that he is using more powerful productive forces to maintain a more corrupt political system.

As for those who thought that the use of food could ensure that the people would not rebel, this Shi Bufan once again scoffed at their "childish" ideas. In the Tang Dynasty, there were poets who said that there were frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, which illustrated the uneven distribution of social wealth.

Shi Bufan is a study of macroeconomics, and of course he knows very well that this world is not short of food materials, in fact, food materials are enough for human consumption all over the world. But the most important thing is the uneven distribution of food and materials, those developed countries occupy a large amount of material, while the backward countries do not have enough at all.

But if you ask the developed countries to give their food to the backward countries for free, do you say they are willing? This can be seen from the fact that the European capitalists preferred to destroy materials to maintain high profits rather than use them to distribute them to the distressed people free of charge, and the ruling class is very ruthless, they only care about their own interests, and let them sacrifice their own interests to help the people, which is simply impossible.

Countless examples have also proved that it is impossible for the ruling class to sacrifice its own interests to help the people, just during the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, but the grain in the major granaries was firmly locked in the warehouses by the Sui Dynasty nobles, unwilling to take it out to help the people. At this time, it is conceivable that when the Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty, the grain in the granaries of the Sui Dynasty was actually used at the end of Zhenguan, which is really very funny.

It is conceivable that the ruling class would rather pay these material losses to the people, because they want to maintain their high profits. Although they may not understand economics, it is certain that this superficial market demand determines the price. So they would rather starve the people and destroy the food themselves than give it to the people to fill their stomachs. Because the destruction of materials is only the loss of materials, but if the people are relieved of their food needs, then the market price of their other materials will definitely be damaged.

This is also the ruthlessness of the ruling class, and it is really a bad idea to expect them to open warehouses and release grain. Even if there are sweet potatoes, the feudal landlords will definitely intensify their exploitation of the people, and will not show mercy to the people because of this.

Although the emperor is high above and seems to have a lot of power. But the emperor is just the highest spokesman of a class, even if the emperor adds the imperial family, how many people can there be? Even if he wants to open a warehouse and release grain, but those scholars and various local rulers who hold the power of local rule, won't they go against the sun? Don't think that the whole country should listen to the emperor's order, this kind of central policy has gone out of shape in the local area, and it is even worse in ancient times. Therefore, when the emperor orders the release of grain, the magistrates can completely ignore it, can your emperor still cut off the heads of all the officials?

"Sure enough, it is prosperous, and the people are suffering. Death, the people suffer. This idea of pinning one's life and death on the mercy of the ruler is really stupid and naïve! Sweet potatoes can't save the feudal dynasty, and using sweet potatoes to save the feudal dynasty is just a birthday boy hanging himself - I'm impatient! Sweet potatoes must be the lifeline of the feudal dynasty, without sweet potatoes may be able to last for more than two hundred years, but with sweet potatoes may not be able to maintain for one hundred and fifty years, or even a hundred years. To promote history, it is inevitable that the productive forces will progress, and if the productive forces progress, the social system will inevitably progress. The economic base determines the superstructure, and this is also the unchanging truth. From the first division of labor among human beings, agriculture and animal husbandry were born, and the subsequent division of labor was the concept of productive forces. China's Zen concession system of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, to the later slavery system, and even the feudal system, are all driven by the productive forces. It is an inevitable trend for advanced productive forces to replace backward productive forces, and it is absolutely impossible for some people to use more advanced productive forces to maintain a more decadent system. As for pinning one's fate on the mercy of the ruler, hey—" Shi Bufan finally sighed at this statistic.

Shi Bufan looked at the data and began to wonder how his brain could improve agricultural productivity. He knew that since he was in charge of agriculture, he would inevitably increase grain output if he wanted to make a performance, but it was so easy to increase grain output. Shi Bufan is not a student of agriculture or biology, so naturally he cannot make any high-yield food.

"Really, I didn't have sweet potatoes to cross together, play with a fart! If I had sweet potatoes, I would grow a miracle directly, and then those ancient economic idiots would be enough to fool them. At that time, their feudal bureaucrats and aristocrats didn't know that this sweet potato would be their talisman, and at that time they were stupid to think that grain production would increase, and that was the world's auspiciousness! When the time comes, I will be promoted, and I will be promoted, and I will sit and watch the fall of the feudal era. At that time, I asked my son and grandson to lead the revolution, and at that time when your uncle was a great man, I also asked my son or grandson to be a great revolutionary man! It's a pity.,The same people don't have the same fate.,It's all traversers.,Your uncle's sweet potatoes are here.,I don't have sweet potatoes.,It's too difficult! How to play this script, it's difficult! Shi Bufan scratched his head and thought.

There is no sweet potato, how to increase grain production, this is too difficult. Sweet potatoes are simple and rude to play, and it is enough to bury the feudal dynasty more than a thousand years in advance, but unfortunately Shi Bufan just doesn't have this thing!

Shi Bufan regretted once again that he was actually a liberal arts student, although he knew some not too in-depth mathematics and a little bit of junior high school science knowledge. But he found that he really didn't have enough! He couldn't invent this invention or that, he was just a theoretical giant, but in practice he was an out-and-out idiot. Even if he studied economics, it was macroeconomics, not microeconomics.

"How to play this next plot and how to increase food production, it really depends on the real ability! There's no way to cheat with sweet potatoes, so let's see how the real thing works! Shi Bufan thought.

"Zhang County Order, I plan to go to the countryside and do an investigation!" Shi Bufan said.

"Oh? What are you going to do in the countryside? Zhang Hong, the county magistrate, asked.

Shi Bufan replied: "Since Zhang County Decree asked me to be in charge of farming, then I naturally have to go down to see how the people farm, so that I can better help the people increase production and income." I admit that I am not from a farming background, but I must also really understand the people's farming, so that I can truly know the people's sufferings and know what the real people need. ”

"No investigation without a voice? What is there to investigate, the people are not all like that. Let them plant it themselves, so why bother? The county magistrate Zhang Hong said lazily.

When Shi Bufan looked at it, he knew that Zhang Hong, the county commander, was probably too lazy to go down to the grassroots level to see what the people really needed. This guy just wants to live in Chang'an City, this Wannian County is a county attached to Guo, and the county government is actually in Chang'an City. Chang'an City is very wealthy, in a sentence of later generations, it is "bright lights", and few people who stay here for a long time are willing to go down to the grassroots level.

Therefore, this Zhang Hong, an official in his fifties, obviously did not want to leave here to suffer, but he was also persuading Shi Bufan to live in this Chang'an City. Anyway, for Zhang Hong, the county commander, agriculture is a very basic thing, and the foundation is too simple, so let the people be responsible for it directly, and the government doesn't have to take care of it. Anyway, agriculture is like this year after year, and there is no change for the people and even officials, and the speed of change is very slow. In ancient times, the knowledge update system was too slow, and the knowledge system was often updated only once every hundred years, so many people could not really experience the changes caused by the upgrading of the knowledge system in their lifetime.

In this case, many people are very lazy, and since they can't see the effect, they don't bother to do it anyway.

"I think I can increase food production, I think there will be a way!" Shi Bufan said.

"Okay, just go if you go, don't blame me for not reminding you as a senior in officialdom when the time comes!" Zhang Hong said.

Shi Bufan left the county government of Wannian County, but Zhang Hong secretly scolded: "What a fool, it's not good to enjoy happiness in the city, and you still have to go outside to suffer hardships?" Do you really think you're something? What a stunned young man, how did this kind of idiot participate in the Xuanwumen Change? ”

Obviously, in this Zhang Hong's eyes, Shi Bufan is a fool. However, Zhang Hong didn't know what Shi Bufan said about him when he left the county office.

"Bureaucracy, the ambition of the bird!" Shi Bufan also made a disdainful evaluation of this Zhang Hong, obviously he has nothing to respect for his boss, just an old bureaucrat, his whole body is the ancient kind of stale bureaucracy, lifeless, and there is no vitality at all.
