"You look at what we do, everything is up to you." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Even we have to listen to Mr." ”

"The students obeyed." The four princes then said.

This village chief Huang usually has a very strict family education, and his son is more afraid of him in addition to respect! Seeing the performance of the four big boys, Qin Yu immediately made a judgment.

"Mr. Qin, we brought four sons to teach you at one time, you won't be too troublesome, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"How so? The more students I teach, the better, and I thought three of them were too shabby. Qin Yu said, "In the past, the classes I led were basically seventy or eighty students. ”

"Teaching seventy or eighty students at a time?" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised, "Mr. is really capable and hardworking!" Pointing to the ten bags of rice and forty lines of bacon piled outside, "Mr. Qin, this is the bundle we gave you, please be sure to accept it." ”

Bunching refers to ten pieces of bacon, and four students should give forty pieces of bacon.

Uncle Huang, now it is a nine-year compulsory education, and there is no tuition fee...... Qin Yu originally wanted to say. But as soon as his mind turned, Lujiacun was so poor, how could he come up with so much tuition?

Could it be that he is suspected of corruption?

Looking at Village Chief Huang with puzzled eyes, Heavenly Court had a full round face and a dignified appearance, as if he was not a person who could be corrupted.

What a contradiction!

and his four sons, although they are also dressed in tattered clothes, they are all full of energy, and they don't look like they can't eat enough at all. It seems that Village Chief Huang should be regarded as the richest man in Lujia Village.

Forget it, how did he get his wealth, and it has nothing to do with his own volunteer teacher.

If he really embezzled the public funds in the village, naturally the township cadres would deal with him.

"It seems that I still have to accept these tuition, and the other villagers in the village are almost out of food, so it is good to improve their lives after accepting them. It's like fighting local tyrants. ”

"And although it is now a nine-year compulsory education, it can also be used in special circumstances and can be adapted in due course. I came to Lujia Village to teach, but I didn't have any teaching support, or even no news. If I don't charge tuition, I'm afraid I'll starve to death. ”

A decision was made on the spot: after school in the morning, let the three village children go back with a bag of rice and a hung of bacon.

nodded: "Okay, I'll charge your tuition." ”

"Biao'er, take your younger brothers and move the things to Mr. Qin's house." Seeing that Qin Yu accepted it, Zhu Yuanzhang instructed his sons. When the four princes heard this, they started doing manual work, and Xu Da stepped forward to help when he saw this.

……

"Mr. Qin......" Zhu Yuanzhang came to Qin Yu's side to make carbon sticks with him, and grinded the burned wooden sticks on the ground, "I said last time that there was another reason for the demise of the dynasty, that is, low social productivity, limited land, and unable to feed so many people. Even if there is no clan family to divide up the centralized power of the imperial court, the dynasty will decline sooner or later, right? ”

"yes." Qin Yu said, "What's the matter, Uncle Huang's old mistake of liking to explore history has been made again?" ”

"Hehe, we like to get to the bottom of whatever we encounter." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled awkwardly and said, "Then may I ask sir, how to solve the problem of insufficient food produced by the land?" ”

"The first way is to let cultivated land greatly increase grain output and rapidly develop social productive forces." Qin Yu said, "But this is basically difficult to do, after all, high-yield crops like hybrid rice cannot be cultivated in a while." The Industrial Revolution also required the creation of a steam engine instead of a machine. ”

Hybrid rice? Industrial Revolution?

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand it again, it was like listening to a book from heaven. "What about the second way?" he asked. ”

"The second method is relatively simple, and it is also a common method used by ancient monarchs, which is to expand the territory. The more land there is, the more food production will naturally go up, and more people will naturally be able to be fed. Qin Yu said.

"If the domestic contradictions cannot be resolved, they will take the initiative to launch a war to divert the domestic contradictions. Why do you think the Xiongnu frequently invaded the Central Plains in ancient times? Isn't it because the land of the Xiongnu is too barren and the people can't have enough to eat? If the Xiongnu nobles had not launched foreign aggression, they would have been overthrown by the people long ago. All wars arise out of interests, not because the Huns are born to fight. ”

"What does Mr. Qin mean is that the Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains because they didn't have enough food to eat?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "But historians and Confucians of all dynasties believe that it is because they are fierce by nature, cruel and murderous." ”

"If the people were well fed, warmly clothed, and happy, who would want to fight? Fighting is a death. Just imagine, if a man goes to war for a completely unnecessary war, it is possible for others to marry his daughter-in-law, take his property and beat his baby, are you willing to do it? Qin Yu said.

"Mr. Qin, what you said makes so much sense!" Zhu Yuanzhang said heavily, "Those so-called historians, Confucians, are all short-sighted people and can't see the essence of war. They are still respected by later generations, and they are really famous. ”

"It's no wonder that they are, after all, historians and scholars of every era have the limitations of their time." Qin Yu said.

"Mr. Qin, you said that the land can't feed so many people, so you have to expand the territory and ease the domestic pressure." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "But as far as we know, the land of China is the richest place in the world, and the land is vast and rich. Therefore, it is useless for the dynasty on the land of China to expand its territory, right? It is not cost-effective to start a war with the people and money, but in exchange for a barren land! ”

"China is the richest in the world?" Qin Yu sighed when he heard this, "It is this conceited thought in his bones that has harmed the feudal dynasties in China for thousands of years, causing them to never expand outward. ”

"Why, isn't it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Absolutely not! That's all the idea of a frog at the bottom of a well. Qin Yu said, "The feudal dynasty on the land of China lacks a world map. They don't know that there is a Mekong River in the southwest of China, and as long as they cross the Mekong River, a beautiful and rich land will appear. The land there is rich in nutritious rice, which can produce three crops a year! ”

"Three seasons a year?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, "Isn't that richer than Jiangnan in the land of fish and rice!?" ”

"yes." Qin Yu said, "There is also a Yalu River in the northeast, which crosses that river and King Kong Mountain, and there is a rich plain, which is enough to feed tens of millions of people. Across another sea area, there will be an island country, which is rich in aquatic products and has a developed fishery...... And to the northeast across the Changbai Mountains is the vast Siberian Plain, which is suitable for growing potatoes...... The Yuan Dynasty hit the Danube, and the place was not bad. And the United States, which I mentioned earlier, is basically plain......"
