Chapter 624: Cycle Rate and the Butterfly Effect

If there is a problem, then find a way to solve it.

Zhu Jianji knew that a strong empire had the possibility of lasting forever, but a feudal empire was difficult because it was limited by many factors such as politics, military system, and information transmission.

Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the world must be divided for a long time.

In later generations, there was a proper term: cyclical rate.

If you want to continue the Ming Empire you have built for a long time and break the cycle rate, the key is to transform the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way.

And this transformation is not a matter of three or five policies.

It is necessary to cover the entire political and military system in an all-round way.

And there is a difficulty:

The feudal system cannot be overthrown all at once!

Only on the basis of the feudal system, the Ming Dynasty can be transformed.

It's not that Zhu Jianji doesn't want to overthrow the feudal system, but the development of the times has not yet reached that time, and if the feudal system is forcibly overthrown now, it will be the same ending as Wang Mang's new dynasty.

It's really a loft in the sky.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jianji said to Zhu Qiyu: "Father, how to make the Ming Kingdom, which has multiplied its territory, continue for a long time, you and I, father and son, I am afraid that we will not be able to discuss it today."

This is a historical conundrum.

It is difficult to formulate a few corresponding policies to delay the emergence of the cyclical rate without a bunch of think tanks, let alone discuss solutions, and as the king of the Ming Dynasty, what he can do at present is to stabilize the territory and properly govern the new territory.

Zhu Qiyu said, "It's difficult."

He saw it through.

He couldn't solve it.

Maybe his son Zhu Jianji can't solve it, and even his grandson Zhu Youzhen ...... The kings after the old Zhu family are likely to be unable to solve it, no matter how strong the Ming Dynasty is now, it will always come to the day of the dynasty's death.

This is the law of history and is unstoppable.

Zhu Jianji was silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed, "But actually...... There is no need to care about the historical cage of this periodic rate, my son even thinks that this periodic rate is the most needed law for me and China in the next few hundred years!"

Zhu Qiyu asked, "What cycle rate?"

Zhu Jianji said: "Cyclical rate ...... To put it simply, it is actually a non-Confucian saying that "the general trend of the world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time".

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a while, and then immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Jianji's words, and said angrily: "Rabbit cub, what do you mean, anyway, my Ming Guozuo is going to be finished? And my Daming Kingdom is finished, it's still a good thing for this Shenzhou?!"

It's nonsense!

If it weren't for the fact that his temperament had been better over the years, Zhu Qiyu would have beaten Zhu Jianji to the point of crying father and mother as soon as he took off his shoes back then.

Zhu Jianji said: "Old Zhu, don't get excited, I didn't say that my Ming Dynasty will be finished, what I mean is that when the times develop to a certain point, the political system of the Ming Dynasty will change, so that China will enter a political system that adapts to the new era, of course, I am not sure if it will happen, because I am not sure that the long river of history we are in is the river that flows through the real world."

Zhu Jianji was indeed a little skeptical.

He thinks that he has not traveled to the Ming Dynasty in history, but a Ming in a parallel time and space.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

He came to Daming as a latecomer, and what he is doing now has already embarked on the road of industrialization in Daming, and many things have been changed after eight years from Jingtai.

And according to the butterfly effect, what changes in the present will affect future generations.

So in other words, on this historical line, maybe there will be no one like yourself in the future generations...... In other words, one day eight years after Jingtai, Zhu Jianji, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, should "disappear".

But in fact, nothing has changed in himself.

In other words, it is very likely that he appeared in another parallel space-time, so no matter what he does, it will not affect the follow-up of this space-time, so

Zhu Jianji is becoming more and more bold to promote industry.

Anyway, it's not a plane and plane, just do it!

Of course, this is just his idea, about the paradox of time and space traveled, it is not so simple to say clearly, but one thing Zhu Jianji is sure of: he has the opportunity to build the strongest Ming Dynasty in this era.

Zhu Qiyu was confused when he heard it.

I don't understand at all.

In fact, Zhu Jianji didn't understand it very well, so he quickly perfunctory and said: "What I mean, the impact of this cycle rate on my Ming Dynasty is just an opportunity to promote my Ming Dynasty into a new era, when the prosperous Ming Dynasty I created is in decline, and there are all kinds of drawbacks, the descendants of my old Zhu family formulate policies according to these conditions to eradicate the drawbacks, but it is possible to break the cycle rate and let China enter a new era that I have spent my whole life trying to advance the Ming Dynasty!"

The industrial age.

As for how to change the political system at that time, it is not difficult, but it is just the decentralization of the Son of Heaven, but the status and identity of the Son of Heaven are still there, and to be honest, if the Ming Dynasty really entered the industrial society in advance, dominated the world, and used the Ming treasure money to suck blood in the world, it would be difficult for the Ming Empire to decline again.

It is only necessary to grasp one core point: to ensure the prosperity of the Chinese.

As long as this basic plate is grasped, and the Ming Dynasty has always maintained its leading position in the military, science and technology, economy, education, and medical care of other countries in the world at the national level, the cyclical rate will have no impact on the Ming Dynasty.

In the current situation, as long as the Ming Dynasty continues to develop steel warships and firearms, it is possible to do it.

Zhu Qiyu was still confused.

I just didn't think about it.

Said: "Actually, I've always been curious, see Ji, you have been promoting reforms in industry, agriculture, firearms, etc., on the one hand, to strengthen the country's military strength, and on the other hand, to improve the living conditions of the people, but what is that...... Well, education reform is not a good thing for our imperial rule."

The enlightenment of the whole people, will it backfire on the imperial power in the end?

Quite possibly.

Zhu Jianji was silent for a while, "Old Zhu, do you know what kind of Ming I want to create? On that day, the official roads of the four vertical and four horizontal and the official roads of the state capitals linked to each other will spread all over the country like spider webs, and the situation of "not being populated with Qinsai" will be gone forever; On that day, every night fell, the city that never sleeped in my Ming Dynasty was not only Gyeonggi, but all the state capitals in the country, and the stars were as bright as day; On that day, millions of heroes in my Ming Dynasty were equipped with Dongfeng firearms, and my Ming heroes could crush any enemy army in the world; On that day, the steel warships of the two fleets of the South China Sea and the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty will gallop and cruise in every corner of the world, and the flag of the Ming Emperor stands in every inch of the sunrise; On that day, every child in my Ming Dynasty will be able to study and serve his family and country when he grows up......."

It's a bit far.

Sighing slightly, "In such a beautiful era, I can't do it alone, and it takes thousands of Chinese to work together, so education reform is imperative."

After a pause, "In a word, when I, Zhu Jianji, live, I must see that my Daming becomes the empire that dominates the world, and I want the Chinese to stand on the top of the world forever, so that I Zhu Jianji will come to Daming for a while!"

"So go to his cycle rate, as long as I can see that the Ming Dynasty is invincible to Zhouyu, I will be content, and the rest of the things will be left to future generations, so don't worry so much, do what we can do well at the moment, do our best to do it!"

Zhu Qiyu: "......"
