"Actually, I have already told you about the two parts of the dynastic periodic law before and today."

"Oh?"

Zhu Gaoxu scratched his beard, a little puzzled, although he listened to the lecture very carefully, but he could also be sure that he didn't remember hearing the relevant content before and today.

"Chessboard stacking, I talked about the number of clans before, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, he was very impressed by this matter, and he didn't understand it for several hours.

"It's the same in terms of the number of people in the dynasty."

Jiang Xinghuo sighed and said, "I didn't continue to talk about the Qin Dynasty just now, so I'll tell you about it briefly." ”

"In fact, since the Qin Dynasty, because of the progress of productive forces, the existing dynasty does not adapt to the production relations, and eventually leads to the change of dynasty, this phenomenon has been very rare."

"The vast majority of dynastic changes are because they are trapped in the dynastic cyclical law."

Yes?

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di next door was directly stunned.

Before co-authoring, Jiang Xinghuo said that the life span of the Ming dynasty may not be able to support the progress of agricultural technology, there is a precedent for this kind of thing, and it seems that there are still a lot.

In other words, the dynasties after the Qin Dynasty could not get out of this so-called "dynastic cycle law".

Dao Yan was on the side, and he nervously pinched the rosary, waiting for Jiang Xinghuo's answer.

Zhu Gaoxu was also puzzled and asked, "Mr. Jiang, what is the dynastic periodic law?" You've mentioned this word many times. ”

"The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, must be united, and for a long time, it must be divided. Since the Great Qin unified the world, in the long feudal imperial system, there is indeed a mysterious force dominating, that is, the cyclical law of the rise and fall of dynasties and the alternation of social chaos. ”

Jiang Xinghuo first explained the literal meaning, and then gave a philosophical definition.

"From the point of view of the root, it is that the development of things is destined for the rise and fall of dynasties. When the relatively new things are no longer suitable for society and cannot solve the main contradictions of the society, there are new things in time to replace the 'relatively new affairs' that are already old things. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand this sentence, the specific performance of the dynastic cycle law in history is not so abstract, in fact, it is four words to put it bluntly."

"-Contradiction between man and earth!"

Jiang Xinghuo said slowly: "The population is like a chessboard and the rice is generally increased according to the geometric progression, and the survival resources required by the entire population are only increased according to the arithmetic progression, and the additional population must always be eliminated in some way, and the population cannot exceed the corresponding level of agricultural development." ”

"If you go to check the history books, you can clearly see that almost all the dynasties of the non-Chan Dynasty experienced war and a sharp decline in population when the country was founded, and they were in a state of ruin."

"And the founding monarch at that time, who was able to lay down the country, was destined to be a generation of heroes, and it was bound to live with the people, and the population began to recover gradually, and the recovery of two or three generations reached its peak, which was the so-called 'prosperous era', and the so-called prosperity was also vigorous."

"After a long period of merger, 'the rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand', when the total population reaches a level that the overall resources cannot bear, and usually social contradictions have accumulated to a great extent, the society will inevitably break out into a frenzy of repartition."

"Famines, uprisings, rebellions, nomadic invasions, etc., overthrow the existing dynasty, and the population is once again sharply reduced, and the so-called demise must also be sudden."

Shock!

Shocking!

Zhu Di has not been long since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he has directly seen the scene of the Ming Dynasty's demise!

Zhu Di seems to have seen the ragged and skinny hungry people wandering in the land of the Ming Dynasty, as if he had seen the scene of the Ming Dynasty being overthrown and overthrown again!

It's a terrible feeling!

He doesn't want to see, and he will never allow his family or future generations, to come to such an end.

This result is absolutely undesirable for him.

But...... What can he do?

He is powerless to reverse!

Can't think of any way!

Zhu Di almost stood up in despair, he looked at Dao Yan with disbelief, only to feel a chill surging from the bottom of his heart.

This chill penetrated his heart, making Zhu Di shiver involuntarily.

This is simply a shock that shatters his worldview!

It was much more shocking than when I heard those two questions before!

Because, Zhu Di has already understood why these two problems are bound to happen!

Why is his own Ming bound to perish!

"Master, what did Jiang Xinghuo say?" Zhu Di still has a glimmer of hope, maybe what Jiang Xinghuo said is false.

Dao Yan was also a little distracted, but he pursed his pale lips and nodded silently.

Zhu Di's last glimmer of hope was shattered.

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the population of the war decreased sharply, and after four generations of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the 'rule of Wenjing' was realized, and the Red Eyebrows of the Green Forest were revolted in the last years; after Emperor Guangwu, three generations were passed, and the 'rule of Mingzhang' was realized, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion was revolted in the last year; after two generations of Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, the 'rule of Zhenguan' was realized, and the Huangchao Rebellion was revolted in the last year...... Daoyan no longer needed to be recited.

"Your Majesty?"

Zhu Di woke up suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, and cold sweat soaked his clothes.

Zhu Di suddenly asked: "If I choose Chi'er, who is more suitable for governing the country, as the crown prince, and Zhan Ji as the grandson, will there be a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty named after their temple numbers in the future?" ”

Dao Yan nodded, and even deduced it seriously: "The eldest prince is benevolent and generous, he can be called Renzong, Zhanji has the heroic spirit of His Majesty, and he will not be stable and stable, and he is about to go around in Xianzong, Xuanzong, and Jingzong." ”

The rule of benevolence? The rule of Renxuan? The rule of Renjing?

A sense of powerlessness rose from Zhu Di's heart.

Zhu Di saw the future of the Ming Dynasty under the guidance of Jiang Xinghuo, and the Ming Dynasty would reach its peak after him, and then gradually decline, and finally die in the country.

Sadly, Zhu Di, as a "ancestor" who is consciously wise and martial, is powerless.

Zhu Di was stunned for a long time, and Dao Yan also didn't make any sound.

And Zhu Di glanced at it inadvertently, but saw that Dao Yan was already holding the rosary until his fingers turned purple.

"Master, you?" Zhu Di saw the almost hideous look on Dao Yan's face.

"Why is no one free? Why?! ”

Dao Yan questioned sharply, but it was facing the air in front of him.

Dao Yan, who has always been regarded as a think tank by Zhu Di and has always had no waves in ancient wells, has fallen into a state of mental exhaustion at this time.

Zhu Di got up and walked forward, holding Dao Yan's hand with his hand.

"Smack!"

The rosary in Dao Yan's hand, which had been cultivated for many years, suddenly shattered from the thread, and the rosary rolled down to the ground.

Zhu Di was stunned, why can he make the calm and unhurried Dao Yan lose his temper to such a point?

"Your Majesty." Dao Yan stared at Zhu Di with a pair of bloodshot eyes, "Your Majesty was thinking about Da Ming just now, but what Lao Wei wants to know is, why can no one be free?" ”

"This is the core secret of 'luck'."

"This is, dragon slayer!"

Next door, Zhu Gaoxu, who didn't know anything about the other side, stood up, his eyes lit up and he asked seriously: "Mr. Jiang, in the previous dynasties, no emperor could break this law and get out of this law?" ”

"It's not that no smart person has seen it." Jiang Xinghuo paused and continued: "But every emperor after Qin Shi Huang ended in failure. Far from it, let's take the Song Dynasty as an example, Wang Anshi changed the law to suppress land annexation, what was the final result? ”

Zhu Gaoxu still had an inexplicable dissatisfaction, and he asked the same question as Dao Yan.

"Why can't anyone break it?"

Jiang Xinghuo explained seriously.

"It can be said that since Qin Shi Huang established a unified imperial autocratic empire, none of the successive dynasties has been able to jump out of this historical cycle, because the feudal empire established by Qin Shi Huang was built on the basis of autocratic will."

"In order to maintain this autocratic royal power, the ruler designed a layered structure within and outside the system, and through the size of the power within the system, the size of the division of interests was determined, and finally the supremacy ......of the imperial power was realized."

"This is determined by the system of the emperor's autocratic empire, and no dynasty can escape the laws of history."

"Because, the emperor himself is the biggest landlord!"

Next door, Zhu Di was shocked and let go of the hand holding Dao Yan.

Zhu Di staggered back half a step and looked at Dao Yan in disbelief.

Because Zhu Di saw very clearly that when Dao Yan raised his head, he inadvertently revealed the killing intent in his eyes!

Dao Yan was unconscious, he licked the corners of his chapped mouth and muttered to himself.

“...... Dragon slaying, it turned out that the slaughter was the imperial system, this dragon. ”
