Chapter 222 The Reign of the Emperor, Yang Jian! (The second update, ask for subscription)
After a while, Xiang Yu walked out of the hall in embarrassment.
There are blood marks on his head and his clothes are untidy, but Xiang Yu has no regrets.
Being Wei Zheng has to pay a price.
But Xiang Yu is still like this.
Because he found that Yang Jian, who was later known as Ming Jun and created the rule of the emperor, was not wise, but also had his mediocre side.
Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed Buddhism and suppressed Buddhism; But after Yang Jian ascended to the throne, he continued to build temples and open Buddhist associations, which led to the growth of Buddhism and the endangerment of society.
Today's main contradiction is the contradiction between Hu and Han, the contradiction between the family and the Hanmen, but after Yang Jian took the throne, the power of the family was not suppressed, but strengthened.
On the surface, the rule of Kaihuang led to an increase in population, food production, social stability, prosperity of the people, a high level of education, and unprecedented prosperity of society.
But Xiang Yu seems to be simply blowing nonsense.
A society that has not solved the problem of food and clothing is not qualified to be called a prosperous era at all.
Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it took 30 years to solve the problem of food and clothing by developing chemical fertilizers, building canals, developing industrial machinery, and hybrid rice.
As for India, in the 21st century, there is no solution to the problem of food and clothing,
The so-called rule of Kaihuang has only developed for 20 years, as long as a few areas solve the problem of food and clothing, most areas are still semi-regions, and there may be a natural disaster, that is, the family is ruined, and children are sold.
Even in the prosperous Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, many people starve to death every winter.
What qualifications does such a society have to be called prosperous?
The so-called rule of the emperor is nothing more than that.
What is there to float.
Moreover, in the early days of Yang Jian's succession, the treasury was empty, there was less money and food, there were fewer land annexations, the gap between the rich and the poor was reduced, and the society was relatively stable;
But 20 years later, the state treasury has more grain money and more grain, but the land annexation has intensified, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened, and it seems that it has entered a prosperous era, but the people's living standards have declined, but on the contrary, the happiness index has declined.
This is also the law of many dynasties, in the early days of the founding of the country, the quality of life was higher, and the happiness index was the highest; However, the economy has developed and entered a prosperous era, the country's GDP has increased, but the quality of life of the people has declined, the happiness index has declined, and social dissatisfaction has increased.
If a king sees only the prosperity of the country, the increase of money and food, the presence of money in the treasury, and does not see the crisis in these dark places, it is very dangerous, very dangerous.
According to the class composition of the great men, they were hired peasants, poor peasants, middle peasants, rich peasants, small landlords, large landlords, etc.
For the emperor, hired peasants, poor peasants were dangerous, because they were in a state of half-food and clothing, or starvation, and could lose their land at any time, and they were potential thieves.
As for the big landlords, it is also very dangerous, because the gap between the rich and the poor has widened, and social contradictions have expanded.
Only the middle peasants, kulaks, small landlords, etc., were potential supporters.
If society wants to be stable, it must expand the number of middle peasants, rich peasants, and small landlords, and reduce the number of hired peasants, poor peasants, and big landlords.
How to eliminate the big landlords, one is to kill the heroes and directly destroy the body; One is to emigrate to the capital, which directly causes the big landlords to retreat into small landlords and rich peasants.
how to eliminate hired peasants, poor peasants, and directly emigrate to places with small populations, and if they die on the way with fewer people, they will be directly physically wiped out; If you go to the relocation area, you will be allocated land seeds, and you will directly become middle peasants, rich peasants.
The Northern Wei Dynasty, why did it implement the equalization system, which essentially expanded the number of middle peasants.
The military household system of the Ming Dynasty was essentially to expand the number of middle peasants.
The successive changes of dynasties were essentially the large-scale and large-scale elimination of large landlords, poor peasants, and hired peasants through wars and turmoil, and at the same time cultivating a large number of middle peasants, rich peasants, and small landlords with military exploits.
If the big landlords don't die too much, the hired peasants, the poor peasants don't die enough.
Inevitably, the world is unstable, and the second may die.
For example, the short life of the Western Jin Dynasty and the death of the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty appeared to be a mediocre emperor on the surface, but in fact it was a war of unification, the intensity of the war was not strong enough, there were too few big landlords who died, and too few hired peasants and poor peasants died.
The reason why the Tang Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years was because of the war of unification, and too many people died.
Therefore, for the sake of the stability of the country, it is necessary to increase the intensity of the war...... The more people die, the more stable the country becomes. Wait a minute, in history, why did Emperor Yang of Sui conquer Goryeo three times, is it also to kill too many people, so as to consume the power of the family (big landlords) and also consume a large number of people (poor peasants and hired peasants)! ”
The more Xiang Yu pondered, the more he felt that it made sense.
In fact, three expeditions to Goryeo were failures.
Hundreds of people were mobilized to fight Goryeo, and the labor and money were injured, and the effect was not good. The best way is to send 350,000 troops to constantly harass Goryeo and destroy the livelihood of the people in Goryeo, and finally make a decision.
Obviously, Yang Guang smashed it.
There was also the time when Li Shimin was in power, he did not recuperate, but continued to fight wars, big wars and small wars, just to use the war to consume the poor peasants and hired peasants, and cultivate middle peasants, rich peasants, and small landlords.
If you are on the battlefield, you will starve to death, or you will be killed, and you will be physically destroyed.
However, if you make military achievements on the battlefield, you may change from poor peasants, hired peasants, to middle peasants, rich peasants, and even small landlords.
is also a constant war, Li Shimin is much smarter than Yang Guang.
Thinking of this, thinking of Mao Xuan, Xiang Yu sighed in his heart.
Great man, really great.
This kind of dragon slaying technique, in all dynasties, is a secret that is not passed on, and the founding emperor will only teach it to the crown prince. But the great man directly promulgated books and directly wrote dragon slaying techniques in them, so that the whole world knew about them, and even encouraged rebellion.
If the court is not good, the people are qualified to be Li Zicheng.
Restraining his distracting thoughts, Xiang Yu thought of his father Yang Jian in this life again.
As for Yang Jian, he has the strategy of a prime minister, but he lacks the vision of an emperor.
In Yang Jian's eyes, it may be that the country has money and food, and the population increases, which means that the country is rich and the people are strong; However, it corroded the contradictions of all strata and ignored the lives of the people at the bottom.
All of this is because of Yang Jian's status.
Grandfather Yang Zhong was born as a middle peasant, but Yang Jian was born in the second generation of the rich, and he didn't know the hardships of the people, but he was a little stronger than the one who didn't eat minced meat.
This rich second-generation boss may lead the company to great development, improve performance and efficiency, but it is easy to ignore the welfare of employees at the bottom.
As for Yang Jian's diligence and thrift, this is just the thrift of the rich second generation.
A rich second generation said, I have no money, I want to save, so I can't afford to buy a sports car of 50 million, so I can only buy a sports car of 30 million.
In this regard, Yang Jian is very similar to Sima Yan.
The difference is that Sima Yan's harem is tens of thousands, but he can sit every day to inspect the car, patrol the harem, and don't know how to spend the night there.
But Yang Jian has a wife who is strict, and his wife beat the concubine to death, so angry that he slapped his horse and ran away, but he ran halfway, cried aggrievedly, and came back to apologize to his wife and continue to be the emperor.
At this point, Yang Jian and Li Shimin are extremely similar and extremely tolerant.
