Looking at Jiang Xinghuo's gaze, Zhu Gaoxu scratched his beard and replied: "The dynasty, one family and one surname in the world, to control the people, to fool the people." ”

"Yes and no." Jiang Xinghuo smiled.

Hearing this, Zhu Di next door turned his head and asked, "Master, what does the history book say about the dynasty?" ”

Dao Yancai learned to refute the miscellaneous and was omniscient, and told the reasons for the allusions like a humanoid library.

"Literally, the dynasty was originally the meaning of the Son of Heaven's view of the dynasty. "Zhou Li, Diguan, Shishi" records: Ju Humen left, Si Dynasty. Eastern Han Dynasty Confucian Zheng Xuan's note: Wang Ri looked at the court outside the road dormitory gate...... If there is a good way to do it, then the king will be edicted. ”

Dao Yan looked at the wall and said, "Of course, what Jiang Xinghuo wants to talk about is definitely not what he means. ”

Zhu Di nodded, indeed.

Based on his current understanding of Jiang Xinghuo, what he wants to talk about is definitely not just literal, it must be some more subtle and profound mysteries.

Jiang Xinghuo said slowly: "The so-called dynasty, the earliest record in the history books is the Xia Dynasty, after Yu ruled the water, he passed the throne to his son Qi, and since then for thousands of years, most of the time the power of the dynasty is passed on from father to son, which is the so-called 'family world'." ”

After speaking this paragraph, Jiang Xinghuo asked a question: "So, why was there no dynasty before Xia, only the leaders of the tribes in ancient times?" ”

After thinking about it for a short time, Zhu Gaoxu obviously did not immediately come up with an answer to this question that he had never thought about.

Jiang Xinghuo's question, I didn't expect him to give any answer at all, it was just a habit left over from being a teacher before.

"In ancient times, the population of China was not so large, and the tribes were relatively independent, owning their own land and not interfering with each other. And with the development of agricultural planting technology, the population began to explode...... Pay attention to this, and as we will talk about later, every advance in agricultural cultivation technology will have a direct impact on the social formation. ”

"We went on to say that after the population exploded, the tribes began to develop more land in order to support more and more people, and with the development of land, the tribes began to contact with the tribe's territory, and finally united into a tribal alliance with different positions driven by interests, which also led to the 'Zhuolu War' between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou."

Hearing this, Dao Yan couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

The battle of Zhuolu is fundamentally because of the progress of planting technology?

Dao Yan's sitting posture began to relax casually, and unconsciously became a little straighter.

And Zhu Di couldn't help but smile when he watched the change in Dao Yan's sitting posture.

Zhu Di thought of the scene when he listened to Jiang Xinghuo's lecture for the first time, and it seemed that he had never sat casually with disdain, and became attracted by the words to sit upright.

Jiang Xinghuo seems to have a magical power.

On this side of the wall, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but interject and said, "Mr. Jiang, I seem to understand that it is inevitable to go from a tribal alliance to a dynasty. ”

"Yes, you're smart."

After Jiang Xinghuo bowed his head slightly and praised the students, he continued: "After the Battle of Zhuolu, as time passed, the original tribal alliance did not adapt to the development of productive forces and began to organize into a more complex social structure, so a dynasty appeared. ”

"Then may I ask Mr. Jiang, since the tribal alliance formed a dynasty, why was the first dynasty established by Yu, who had a meritorious service in controlling the water, instead of the Yellow Emperor, who won the Battle of Zhuolu?"

"In fact, the reason is very simple, it is the development of the 'productive forces' that I just mentioned."

Afraid that the other party would not understand, Jiang Xinghuo further explained: "You can understand 'productivity' as 'the ability to grow food', because in this period of time before and after the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the level of productivity at that time reached a level that could support a large number of rentier classes that were not engaged in production. ”

Dao Yan muttered to himself: "Productivity, is the ability to grow food? ”

From the bottom of his heart, Dao Yan, who thinks that he is proud of his knowledge of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, will not bow to anyone in terms of wisdom and talent.

No matter what kind of genius the other party is, a grandmaster in the literary world, and a generation of great Confucians...... was not taken into account by Dao Yan.

This is the pride of Daoyan, and it has never been broken for decades.

However, Jiang Xinghuo's simple words today made Dao Yan have a trace of doubt about himself.

If Jiang Xinghuo's previous plans for things such as cutting the feudal domain only made Dao Yan think that he was slightly inferior in a specific plan, and other aspects were comprehensively crushed.

So the current sentence "productivity is the ability to grow food" made Daoyan really, for the first time in his heart, regard Jiang Xinghuo as a resourceful person who can be compared with himself.

There is no other reason, this sentence is only a wise person who has reached the level of Dao Yan can appreciate how subtle it is!

Whispers!

On the other side of the wall, Jiang Xinghuo's lecture continued: "The rentier class, that is, the aristocracy, the army, the wizards, etc., these people are the first class in society to separate large-scale people who are not directly engaged in food production and gathering, and they are also the strata that inevitably appear as a social division of labor, some are responsible for rule, some are responsible for protection, and some are responsible for faith, so the original dynasty was formed." ”

"Of course, the dynasty did not start with the inheritance system of brother to brother and father to son, and before the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the ancestors also tried the Zen concession system."

"As for why the inheritance system replaced the Zen concession system, and the inheritance was made into the family of the later dynasty, it is better to understand, who sits in the position of emperor, and will willingly think that his son will not inherit the throne and go home to farm?"

"Or in other words, who sees that his father is the emperor, and he is willing to go home to farm, and he doesn't want to be the emperor himself?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, who were separated by a wall, were silent.

Dao Yan, who came to the secret room for the first time to eavesdrop, was very amused by this one-way transparent interaction, and he asked with a smile, "Is Your Majesty willing?" ”

Zhu Di shook his head and smiled, and only said, "Naturally, I don't want to." ”

Not to mention that the throne is passed on to people who are not related by blood, even to his brothers and nephews, Zhu Di is unwilling.

He worked hard to parallel the capital to the north to fight against Emperor Jianwen's million-strong southern army, and only after nine deaths did he ascend to the throne, why did he pass it on to "outsiders"?

Dao Yan stroked his palms and laughed, but he was also silent, thinking of the just-concluded battle of Jingjing in order to compete for the throne.

So many people died and so much blood was shed, in the final analysis, isn't it just four words?

- Strive to be the emperor.

As for Zhu Gaoxu's psychology outside the wall, it is even simpler.

I helped the old man fight down this world with a knife and a shot, it should be me who inherited the throne, and I was not allowed to inherit it, why?

Whoever doesn't let me inherit the throne is my enemy, and Zhu Gaoxu has only one way to treat the enemy, hacking him to death.

"Surely no one wants to." Zhu Gaoxu replied directly.

"So the dynasty of inheritance was born."

"That's what I'm talking about, 'What is a dynasty.'"

Jiang Xinghuo opened the folding fan that Zhu Gaoxu gave him with a "snap", and leaned on the trunk of the tree to fan himself.

"And the 'essence of the dynasty' that will be talked about next can really answer the questions raised before."

Hearing this, several people inside and outside the wall all turned upright.

Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his rough hands excitedly and inexplicably, waiting for Jiang Xinghuo to explain.

Zhu Gaoxu's excitement was justified, because since he said that the excerpt was written by himself and was fully adopted by his father at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, his third brother Zhu Gaosui was shocked fiercely, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at him.

This kind of shock is like the first to last in the class, and suddenly I found that the second to last person who used to play blindly with me suddenly came out on top in this exam.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu was looking forward to learning something new, so that his ignorant third brother would be shocked.
