"Your Majesty, I'll take out a number first, you can know by looking at this!" Jingwen said.

Jingwen then said: "Since the development of China, the so-called prosperous era has been called the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors has been called the strongest time, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Let's draw a map of that time, and then the emperor will be able to see it. ”

Jingwen asked the court historians to draw a map of the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and the earliest Three Emperors and Five Emperors were only limited to the Yellow River Valley. Later, they grew larger and larger, until the Xia and Shang periods really determined the future territory. And Li Shimin also understands that this is actually a land problem. During the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, they were able to continue to "expand their territory", and finally let the new population have land for planting, and there were no landlords and other privileged classes at that time, so the people naturally lived and worked in peace and contentment. And this process, and the wisdom of the three emperors and five emperors, it is all fart. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors just stepped on dog shit, and they were able to continue to expand the land and make the people stable, and it became a prosperous era, and as a result, it continued to be passed on to future generations.

"Your Majesty, you can see that during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the territory of my China continued to expand. From the beginning of the Yellow River generation, to the last Xia Yu Dingding Kyushu, laid the foundation of our current territory. And this territory, there is not much change in the future. ”

"And the three emperors and five emperors, the reason why they can do this is because they can continue to give land to the newly increased population, and then everyone has land, and they can live and work in peace and contentment, without any rebellious thoughts. As for the so-called equalization system in our Tang Dynasty, it is actually the granting of ownerless land to the new population. However, the number of new people is always increasing. In the end, there is no land to grant. They are getting poorer and poorer, and the land is becoming more and more concentrated. And the so-called prosperity of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, that is, they continued to expand the land, so they were able to achieve such a reputation. ”

"Damn, that's what history is all about!" Li Shimin burst into a foul mouth in his heart.

When Li Shimin was studying historical classics, those historical gentlemen kept bragging about the wisdom of the ancient emperors. Especially the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, they have been boasted of becoming a model for countless Ming monarchs. Moreover, even the Confucian sage Confucius is touting it vigorously, saying that after the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. It's all a time when etiquette collapsed. But. Now Li Shimin has discovered that in fact, history is just like that. After Jingwen's analysis of these economic figures, Li Shimin obviously found that the so-called Ming Jun was caused by land. During the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the land continued to expand. And the people will not have any pressure on the land. As a result, they were all happy. And after being happy. They didn't know any economic theories, and they all praised it as the emperor's kindness.

But, at the same time. If the land is too concentrated, and then they have no place to stand, they will not understand any economic reasons, they will all scold the emperor for being mediocre. But this emperor is too aggrieved, not because he is mediocre, but because the land is concentrated. But the people don't understand, they are all artificial, and they are all caused by the emperor's mediocrity. As a result, Dong Zhongshu came up with some theory of heaven and man induction, saying that all disasters are warnings from heaven and the responsibility of the emperor. Well, the emperor obviously didn't make a mistake, but this celestial induction caused the yellow mud to fall off the crotch of his pants - not but is.

As for those emperors who joined the new dynasty as officials, in order to praise the current emperors, they naturally attacked those emperors who died in the country, as if they had to touch any poop on it. The result of this is that a monarch who has obviously not done anything, and can even be said to be working hard to save the country, has been slandered by these guys and become a faint monarch, such as the king of Shang back then. This theory of success and defeat is that you can write a book about how the faint king is refined.

And those Ming monarchs, although they may have the ability one by one, but the main reason for creating a prosperous era is not how much ability they have, but the proportion of land and population in the world, as well as the way land assets are distributed. There are more capable monarchs, but why have some become faint monarchs of the dead country, while some have become prosperous monarchs. It turns out that the root is in the land, and the land is the basis for a person to become a bright or faint king. Now Li Shimin understands that the so-called history is just a reincarnation. If Datang goes on like this, it will still enter such a cycle.

And Li Shimin also saw that history is so cruel, and the so-called history is just a reincarnation. However, none of the emperors and ministers of the dynasty were able to see this historical truth. And the truth is so cruel.

Jingwen saw Li Shimin's expression, and knew that Li Shimin had seen through the historical truth this time. Jingwen remembered that there was a foreign scholar in later generations who said that China has no history, only monotonous repetition. This has aroused the refutation of many Chinese scholars, and Jingwen has also paid attention to it. Jingwen thinks that this is actually from the in-depth process of looking at the problem. If we look at it from an absolute perspective, then in fact, Chinese history is a monotonous repetition, and there is nothing wrong with this question. But this is at an absolute height, which is like being outside the solar system, watching the awakening of the solar system revolve around the sun. In fact, there is no real in-depth understanding of history, so I have this kind of thinking.

And that foreign scholar is looking at the problem from a too high angle, too high. However, from this point of view, Chinese history is such a simple repetition, and it is also the same from the highest end. From this, it can be inferred that the dynasties of Chinese history are also repeating the past. This may be because the ancient ideological system is not perfect, and it is also the imperfection of various disciplines in ancient times, which makes China constantly repeat itself in an agricultural society. This is mainly an ideological problem, and the symptoms of ideological problems are presented in history. From the perspective of later generations, it is easy to see that ancient Chinese history is also like this.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen that if we want to obtain a prosperous era, we must have a sufficient proportion of land and population. If Datang wants to continue to continue, it must have more land and resources to feed more people. You say, do we have enough land in Guanzhong? Is there enough land in our north? Obviously, our land is clearly not enough to feed a growing population. (To be continued......)
