"You know, in this world, there is labor, there will be output."

"Therefore it may be said that all the goods come from the people."

"Do you know what the total output of the people of Datang is in a year?"

Li Chengqian definitely didn't know.

Li Chong said, "To be honest, I don't know."

"However, it is often this ignorance that makes the rulers think that the output of the people in a year is unlimited."

"Do you know how much the Tang Dynasty spends on officials in a year? You should know that, right?"

Li Chengqian still shook his head.

Li Chong: "Chang'an, you can check it, but it's not easy to check the locality."

"The output of the people and the consumption of the officials are like two different curves."

"The output of the people can be regarded as almost constant for a certain period of time."

"And what about the consumption of officials? You go and check again, from the beginning of Zhenguan to the present, how many more officials have been in Datang, and how much more expenditure has been made."

"And whether this increase can keep up with the output of the people."

"There must be no problem with Datang now."

"The officials of Chang'an combined, there may be only one or two thousand people at most. It shouldn't be a big problem to raise another 10,000 officials."

"But if you follow this trend, it won't be long before the average output of the people per official will become smaller and smaller."

"Mathematics is actually a very good tool, which can predict how many years later, Datang will have problems through a top model."

"But if it's just like this, then Datang estimates that it won't be a problem to live for another three or five hundred years."

"The problem is, there are some things that can't be calculated simply by math."

"For example, you can investigate the amount of land in the pass occupied by each official from the beginning of Zhenguan to the present, and the number of slaves cultivated for it."

"Many officials should have more land than they did at the beginning."

"And...... Unless some officials commit crimes, it is almost impossible to reduce it."

"The number of acres of land in the world itself is limited, and when there are more officials, there will be fewer people."

"The general trend of officials to satisfy their own luxuries is definitely to keep buying up the land of the common people."

"If the people have no land, they will starve, and they will develop into rebel armies, which will lead to turmoil in the world."

"And officials, when they know that it is profitable to buy land, will buy more and more in order to satisfy their own luxury."

"So...... From the beginning of the establishment of a state, the general trend is that the emperor has the whole world, and he gives all the land in his hands to the people and officials."

"However, the general trend is that the emperor must have less and less land, the officials have more and more land, and the people have less and less land."

"When the time comes, the people are dissatisfied with the emperor, and the officials or nobles of the family can stir up the dissatisfied people, so as to change the world."

"Of course, it doesn't mean that this emperor is innocent."

"There are a lot of kings who have died in the country, and you should be able to see it in the process of reading." ….

"More or less, they will have all kinds of problems."

"That's why the people are dissatisfied with the emperor."

"For example, conniving at officials and eunuchs to oppress the people, such as increasing forced labor for the people."

"When a dynasty reaches the middle of its development, the land that can be developed has basically been developed, the output of the people is basically constant, and officials, eunuchs, etc., in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, begin to constantly exploit the people."

"This is already the foundation, and this dynasty is about to decline."

"At that time, corrupt officials were everywhere, no one would do business, the rules were broken, and officials colluded with officials to form a solid network of interests, even enough to fight against the imperial power."

"Moreover, there will be constant party strife between the DPRK and China."

"If you have to use poetry to describe the gap between the lives of this aristocratic family and the common people."

"Then at this moment, there is the gap between "Spring Day in the Forbidden Court" and "Guanjiamai"."

Subsequently......

Li Chong gave it to him, and Li Chengqian wrote down these two poems silently.

and wrote an additional silent song "Silkworm Woman".

Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders.

He continued: "In the beginning, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the emperor had the most wealth in the world, and land and population were all his wealth."

"Then in the middle of the period, the emperor still enjoyed the best and richest life, but the wealth was not as much as at the beginning of the founding of the country.

"In the later period, the emperor's land and population no longer grew, and the rats also ate up the rice barn, and even turned into a giant rat the size of a man."

"Final...... One night, while the emperor was still asleep, the emperor was finally bitten to death by a rat."

"So, why should an emperor love his people? Because to love one's people is to stabilize one's rule. Stabilize your throne."

"And those nobles are actually rats. Moreover, the emperor takes turns to sit and come to my house next year. Some of them don't care who the emperor is."

"Or, you can compare the emperor to the leader of a steppe tribe, the leader raises a lot of sheep, that is, the people, and the leader invites some people to herd sheep for him, and these are the officials."

"One day, when the sheep were lost, you asked the officer who was tending the sheep how many he had lost, and he replied, "Twenty," but in reality, only ten were lost, and ten of them were secretly hidden in the cave by him, and became the other party's sheep."

"And according to the agreement, thou shalt pay him ten sheep a year."

"In this way, this official is greedy for ten inks, and that official is greedy for five, even if the emperor has ten thousand sheep, he can't bear them being so greedy."

"If you want to be a good emperor and govern a country, you must have a long-term vision and know how to scientifically distribute benefits to all strata."

"Moreover, we must know how to formulate a certain system to curb the greed of these corrupt officials."

"And yet...... Officials are often participants in the formulation of the system, and even the implementers of the implementation of the system.

"Are there more officials who want to get status and power, or are there more officials who want the people of the world to live better?"

"You can ask the second generation of the founding heroes, why did they become officials?"

"Perhaps, you will be able to get an answer."

"If you ask the third generation, it may be even more obvious."

"The next four or five generations, there is no need to say more."

"Even ...... Now you go and ask Li Xiang and Li Tian if they have considered the people of the world, and they may not be able to think about anything. Their eyes only see themselves, and they are on the same level as them."

After a moment of silence, Li Chengqian asked, "Then why didn't you teach them, teacher?"

Li Chong: "I'll leave it to you to teach later."
