Yang Yun stepped onto the podium and began to say: "Today's preaching is the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, before that, I want to ask everyone, who can know how many years of national fortune of the past dynasties?" ”

The classroom was full of Ming princes and ministers, and naturally there were many knowledgeable Confucian students.

Someone immediately stood up and said: "470 years of the Xia Dynasty, 554 years of the Shang Dynasty, and 210 years of the Western Zhou Dynasty...... 152 years in the Southern Song Dynasty and 92 years in the Yuan Dynasty! ”

For someone who can answer accurately, Yang Yun just thinks that the teacher from the town teaches all year round, and he is probably also familiar with history.

Yang Yun continued to ask: "From the Qin Dynasty to unify the six kingdoms and change the feudal system to the county system, which dynasty has more than three hundred years behind?" ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Those princes and ministers also secretly calculated, and after a while, they were all surprised.

There is no dynasty that lasts more than 300 years.

Zhu Biao said: "Mr. Yang, there is no one. ”

Yang Yun nodded and asked, "Who can say why no dynasty in the past has a national fortune of more than three hundred years?" ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the great Confucian Song Lian consciously read history and was also proficient in Confucianism, so he stood up and talked eloquently.

"As the saying goes: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, in the later stages of the dynasties, the emperor is mediocre and incompetent, the traitorous ministers are in charge, the officials are corrupt, and the people are not able to make a living, so naturally countless peasants have risen up, aren't these truths obvious?"

These words are obviously a bit mocking Yang Yun, and I don't understand this reason.

In fact, although they were a little surprised by Yang Yun's opinion, such a young descendant actually dared to talk about the way of rise and fall in front of the military generals of Wenchen, which was a bit of a big sword in front of Guan Gong.

The others also nodded, obviously agreeing with Song Lian's argument.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the reasons for the rise and fall of the dynasty were not complicated, and they were basically the same as the main points summarized by Song Lian.

But Yang Yun smiled faintly and said, "Really? Why is 300 years an insurmountable hurdle? ”

"Could it be that every dynasty must be incompetent when it reaches three hundred years, and there will be great traitors at that time? Won't it show up at other times? ”

As soon as these words came out!

Everyone was taken aback and talked about it, but no one could answer.

Now the question is, why 300 years?

When the dynasty reaches three hundred years, must the emperor be incompetent?

In fact, many of them are great Confucians, and naturally they have read countless literary and historical classics, and they also know that the last dynasty may not be the emperor mediocre, but just powerless.

They were also discredited by later generations of dynasties.

Moreover, traitors do not have to wait until the last years of the dynasty to appear, there have always been.

Even if it was the founding emperor, there were some traitors around.

As for the people's lack of livelihood, in fact, every time there is a drought or flood, there will be countless displaced people, and they may not all rise up.

Even if they do resist, there is not much support.

Why did the peasants become unstoppable when the dynasty ran for 300 years?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were bright, this question was indeed too quintessential, as an emperor, no one paid more attention to this issue than him.

yes, why 300 years?

Isn't it 200 years, or 500 years?

Since it is a law that cannot be escaped, there are naturally reasons behind it that are powerless to reverse.

He looked at Yang Yun closely to see how he would explain the problem next.

He vaguely felt that Yang Yun's next remarks would become words that shook the past and the present.

Sure enough, after a long while, there was still no sound below.

Yang Yun then continued.

"The fundamental reason why each dynasty cannot exceed three hundred years is not that the emperor is mediocre and traitorous ministers are in power, these are only secondary reasons."

"And the most fundamental reason is that after only three hundred years of dynasties, the land was almost completely annexed by the landlords and nobles, and the peasants at the bottom had almost no place to stand."

"Without the most core means of production such as land, they have no ability to resist risks, and in the event of a famine, they can only rebel."

As soon as these remarks came out, the ministers of civil and military affairs and others present were all dumbfounded.

Many of them claim to have read countless texts, but they have never heard such arguments.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, he lived completely at the bottom of the society when he was a child, and witnessed how difficult the life of the peasants at the bottom was.

Many villagers starved to death, and when their parents died, they didn't even have a place to bury, and there was no place to stand.

His own experience is exactly what Yang Yun said.

Even Liu Bowen, who has always been calm, couldn't sit still at the moment, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yang, according to what you say, the fundamental reason for the rise and fall of the dynasty is caused by land annexation, so if you want the dynasty to last for a long time, you must prevent land annexation?" ”

Yang Yun nodded.

"So how do you prevent land annexation?" Liu Bowen continued to ask.

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Yun.

The change of dynasty is such a major issue, Yang Yun can break it in one word, which is simply shocking.
