"We really don't know about this phenomenon." Zhu Yuanzhang said embarrassedly. In the past, when Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang told us about history, they didn't talk about this at all.

Even Sima Qian and Sima Guang did not seriously analyze this phenomenon in their writings.

"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang humbly asked Qin Yu for advice.

"Because they are all installed in the court by feudal nobles, they are all sons and nephews of feudal nobles." Qin Yu said, "When their son grows up, they will naturally do everything possible to find a good errand for him." ”

"It's time for my nephew to come out and do things when he is an adult, for the sake of the face of his loved ones, they can't do nothing, right?"

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang condensed and said, "Most of these people don't learn and don't know how to do it—if they have the ability, they will come up by themselves." When they arrived at the position, they were given a vegetarian meal and did not work for anything. ”

"In fact, there are a lot of such things, children of a few years old become officials, and the dead occupy positions to eat empty salaries."

"Such people must be suppressed, because they are all aristocratic forces. Once there are more such people, that force will become bigger and bigger, and more and more people will deal with it. Qin Yu said.

"The feudal aristocracy is their roots, and if you dig out their roots and cut off one of them, the other head will emerge from another place."

"In this way, there are more people who do not work hard, and the pressure on the bottom foundation will increase."

"Exactly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "So how to rectify it?" ”

"Weaken the power of the nobility, but they can't afford to arrange their own relatives." Qin Yu said, "Let the power of those county orders, prefects, and political envoys not much greater than that of the people,"

"Then the people will be happy."

"The purpose of doing this is to minimize the pressure on the foundation."

"Their power has been greatly diminished, and will anyone still want to join the ranks?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Are you still worried that no one wants to be a county magistrate, prefect?" Qin Yu smiled, "To be honest, even if you don't give them any money, if you don't give them any private rights, there are countless people rushing to do it." ”

"Not bad!" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded again and again.

We won't give you privileges, we won't give you high salaries, and if you don't want to go down, naturally some people will rush to get a position.

After talking about the pyramid structure, Qin Yu directly pushed it to.

Another egg was pinched with mud.

"It's olives...... Egg-shaped social structure. Qin Yu said, "In this structure, the people at the top and bottom account for the minority, and the middle income accounts for the vast majority. ”

"In the egg-shaped structure, the bottom people are in the minority, can the dynasty stand firm?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.

"This kind of structure can only be realized when the social productive forces have developed to a certain extent." Qin Yu said, "At that time, only a few people will need to farm and farm the land to feed the whole society." ”

"So the middle class, including the craftsmen and farmers, is the homeless, the lazy, and so on."

"A few people can farm and farm to feed the majority!?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this, such a thing was unimaginable in ancient times. Because in ancient times,

Peasants, who account for 70 to 80 percent of the population, cannot support everyone when they farm.

Grain production is too low, and productivity is highly backward.

There is no good seed for the crops.

"When hybrid rice is cultivated and high-yield wheat is cultivated, this egg-shaped society is the most suitable." Qin Yu said, "It is also the current status quo in many Western countries. ”

"That is, the pyramid is the first stage in the structure of human society." 、

"Fit in an era when productivity is low and most people depend on agriculture for their livelihood."

"Egg shape is the second stage."

"It is suitable for the stage of further development of the productive forces, the era of relying on handicrafts and manufacturing to feed on."

"The egg-shaped society, the middle-class enterprises, and the large-scale concentration of agriculture are the backbone, they are the foundation. Once there is an economic crisis, it is dangerous. ”

"However, the current Ming Dynasty has not yet reached this level, and you can't understand it."

"Then sir, what is the shape of the kingdom based on Taoism?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked. He really can't understand the egg-shaped society, which is the era of capital.

"Building a nation with the Tao is the third stage and the ultimate stage." Qin Yu said, "He is like the natural world, there is no shape visible, but he is everywhere. ”

"All levels form a natural ecology."

"The relationship between the artisans, the farmer and the industrial food chain formed by them above them is equivalent to the food chain in nature. The bottom of the food chain provides nourishment to the upper layer, and when the upper layer dies, the corpse becomes the bottom nourishment. ”

"The biggest difference between the social food chain and the natural food chain is that there is no one in the natural food chain who does not get anything for nothing. All kinds of competition are free competition without the intervention of external forces. ”

"Sir, do you want us to learn animals?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Man, in the final analysis, is a part of nature, a kind of living being." Qin Yu said, "Don't think that the social structure of human beings is better than that of wolves and monkeys. ”

"In fact, the structure of wolves is a hundred times better than that of humans."

"Have you ever seen one of the wolves get it for nothing?"

"Doing nothing can take up the vast majority of resources?"

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"It is a natural ecology to build a country with Taoism. And the natural ecology, from the moment life was born, has not died out until now. Only the various creatures continue to evolve, and finally form a world of various forms. Qin Yu said, "Whether this kind of ecological society encounters a storm or a foreign enemy, it will always be able to withstand it with its strong vitality." ”

"In other words, the lifespan of the dynasty established by the Tao will be as long as the lifespan of nature."

"The Ming Dynasty established the country with Taoism, so the Ming Dynasty will last for tens of thousands of years, or even billions of years, and it will be as eternal as !! nature."

"Establishing a country with Taoism can make the Ming Dynasty as eternal as nature???" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was almost speechless with excitement, unprecedented excitement.

His body trembled, and his voice trembled.

He has never been so excited as he is today, even when he defeated Chen Youliang and ascended the throne of the emperor, he was not as excited as today.

When many emperors founded their dynasties, the founding emperors hoped that their dynasties could be passed on for thousands of generations.

However, this idea is just a good wish.

In fact, they know very well in their hearts that it is impossible for any dynasty to last so long. The continuation of the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years is already the limit.

However, today, Qin Yu gave Emperor Zhu a plan that would allow the Ming Dynasty to last for thousands of generations.

I have to say that this big cake made Emperor Zhu salivate.
