Chapter 91: The Reason for the Fall of the Dynasty!
"Xiaoyou, how do you say you can be called a good emperor?"
After taking a sip of tea, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and suddenly spoke.
Li Anyi was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What are you asking for?" Could it be that you are the emperor? ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then took another sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's not, the contemptible person is just an ordinary person who does nothing, but he suddenly has a feeling."
It's not the emperor, Li Anyi believes it, after all, the emperor is really above the tens of thousands of people, and it should be in the vast palace of the capital, and it is impossible to appear in Huai'an Mansion, nor in Jingwangfu, let alone in front of his eyes, sitting with him drinking tea and chatting.
However, the ordinary people who do nothing are 10,000 unbelievers, and by looking at his temperament, you know that they are not ordinary people, let alone ordinary people can appear here? Can you feel about what it takes to be a good emperor?
This middle-aged man is undoubtedly an important minister and official in the court!
What does it take to be a good emperor?
Li Anyi thought about it, I don't know if it was because the middle-aged man had a different temperament, or because the middle-aged man left him to drink tea when he was lost, or because he was idle anyway, in short, Li Anyi was inexplicably interested in this topic at the moment.
"Ahem, before I say something, you have to promise me one thing," Li Anyi said.
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man was suddenly a little curious: "You say."
Seeing this, Li Anyi continued: "No matter if what I say is right or not, you can't be angry, let alone be bold and ruo, come and drag me out and behead me, etc., can you do it?" I can't do it, I'll turn around and leave. ”
In costume dramas, there is often such a scene, a high-spirited scholar and an official are chatting freely, and the official suddenly became angry while talking, and asked someone to drag the scholar out and behead him, the reason is because the scholar said a certain sentence wrong or the scholar's words are different from the official's true thoughts, and Li Anyi, who chases many serials, is naturally poisoned by it.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned, it was the first time he heard such words, he suddenly found that the scholar in front of him seemed to be very different from the scholar he had seen, but this did not make him disgusted and hated, but the mood was inexplicably relaxed.
So, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"You swear," Li Anyi added.
"Bold!"
The old man behind the middle-aged man was furious when he saw Li Anyi like this.
Li Anyi spread his hands and said, "Then I still won't say it."
"Cao Teng!"
The middle-aged man frowned and shouted, "Don't speak without my permission."
"Yes", the old man suddenly panicked.
Then, the middle-aged man half-raised his hand and swore: "I swear, no matter what you say well or not, whether it is right or wrong, I promise that I will never be angry."
"Well, can you talk about it now?"
The middle-aged man looked at Li Anyi and smiled, smiling, like a spring breeze.
Li Anyi nodded, pondered for a moment, and after organizing the language, he said: "During the reign, the world was peaceful, and the country and the people were a good emperor."
The middle-aged man suddenly showed a look of disappointment, he originally thought that this different scholar would have any different opinions, but he didn't expect that it was also this set of general statements, which made no difference between saying and not saying.
Shaking his head, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, what's wrong with him? The scholar in front of him is just a young young student, I am afraid that he has never even gone out to Huai'an Mansion, how much knowledge can he have, he can say that the world is peaceful, and the country and the people are already good.
When the middle-aged man shook his head, he saw Li Anyi's words suddenly turn: "However, this is easy to say, but I'm afraid it's not easy to do, whether you can be called a good emperor or not, in the final analysis, lies in the people."
People?
The middle-aged man pondered, this statement was a little novel, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and asked, "Oh? Why? ”
"Water is like the people, the boat is like the court, the water can carry the boat, and it can also ......"
When he said this, Li Anyi paused and made a boat capsizing motion.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
Seeing this, Li Anyi continued: "Looking at the previous dynasties, you will find such a phenomenon, each dynasty basically does not exceed three hundred years, this is like a curse, and at the end of each dynasty, large-scale peasant uprisings will break out, which indirectly or directly leads to the collapse of the dynasty, with few exceptions."
The middle-aged man nodded, because it was true that as the young scholar had said, no dynasty could last more than three hundred years, and at the end of each dynasty there would be large-scale peasant uprisings, and the cycle would repeat itself, like a cycle.
"Why is that? Is it really a curse? The middle-aged man asked subconsciously.
"Of course it's not a spell."
Li Anyi shook his head and continued: "This is the result of land annexation and wealth concentration."
"Land annexation? Concentration of wealth? ”
For these two unfamiliar words, the middle-aged man said that he couldn't understand them at all, and his eyes were full of confusion and confusion.
"That's right, the main reason why the dynasty can't escape the three-hundred-year cycle rate is that land is annexed and wealth is concentrated."
"What is land annexation, concentration of wealth? In fact, it is very easy to understand, let me tell you this, at the beginning of the dynasty, the population was relatively small, almost every household was allocated fertile land, and the whole dynasty showed a thriving phenomenon, until the founding of the dynasty about 70 to 100 years, the national strength of the dynasty will reach its peak, and then it will flourish and decline, until there is a large-scale peasant uprising, the dynasty suddenly collapsed, and gradually went to extinction. ”
"Why is that? This is because the population has reached the population pressure that the dynasty can bear, once it exceeds it, it will crush this string, as the population grows, the land resources are not enough, and during this period, coupled with disasters and so on, the land will be more and more concentrated on the rich, and the poor will have less and less land in their hands, until there is none, this is the so-called land annexation. ”
"If a poor person has no land, he can't support himself, he can't support his family, and he can only become a homeless person in the end, and as more and more poor people lose land, more and more people are homeless. If there are too many outcasts, you know what will happen next, and in order to survive, they will start rioting until they cover the entire dynasty, and at that time, the dynasty will fall! ”
"This is the main reason why the previous dynasties could not escape the three-hundred-year cycle rate!"
After finishing speaking, Li Anyi picked up the teacup and drank it all, he hadn't said so many words at one time for a long time, and his mouth was dry.
The middle-aged man stared at Li Anyi, who was drinking tea, with a flat expression, but his heart was shocking!
Who is this young man?
was able to directly point out the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasties! This is the first time he has heard of the fall of a dynasty!
He is not a simple person, he can't bluff him with a few words, Li Anyi's words, although he is not very sure whether it is true or not, but looking at the previous dynasties, it is not difficult to find that what this young man said is traceable, not nonsense.
took a deep breath, and quickly suppressed the huge waves in his heart, and regained his calm look.
"If that's the case, how is this game resolved?" , The middle-aged man looked serious.
Originally, he was just irritable because of something, but when Li Anyi appeared, he asked him to sit down, talk a few times along the way, complain and so on, it was as simple as that, he didn't think about anything at all, but he never expected to hear such an earth-shattering exclamation from the mouth of this young scholar.
Once these words spread, he was sure that and he was sure that it would cause an uproar!
