"In the last class, I remember that Mr. Jiang said that productivity is the ability to grow food, and I always felt that there was such a thing as a contradiction between man and land, and I still had to rely on productivity to come up with an explanation."

"I'm stupid, and I really didn't understand what the contradiction between man and land has to do with productivity, but I have a lot of time left in prison! Later, I lay down and pondered slowly, and suddenly I felt a little clearer. ”

"In fact, there is a contradiction between man and land, according to my understanding, it is not that the Ding mouth has grown too much, and the land is not enough to support people. I have walked through the north and south of the river, and I have seen with my own eyes the land that can be planted under this world, and there are many abandoned lands, the most unfortunate, there are so many ravines that can also be planted terraces. ”

"The root of the problem is not in the land, but in the food grown by the people who cultivate the land, and some of it is not in their own hands, or even does not belong to them at all, so there is a contradiction between people and land."

"When I think about it, I understand!"

Zhu Gaoxu said categorically: "The root cause of the contradiction between man and land is the contradiction between man and man, that is, the contradiction between the farmer and the landlord!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu saw Jiang Xinghuo's face showing approval, so he continued to speak boldly.

"Even if the ability to grow grain cannot be improved now, the 'production relations' mentioned by Mr. Jiang can be improved, that is, who owns all the materials for producing grain, what is the status of the people who produce grain and those who own it, and who ultimately distributes the grain."

"I think that these three aspects of the relationship of production, as long as they are properly changed according to the actual form of the Ming Dynasty, the contradiction between man and land can be alleviated."

Subsequently, Zhu Gaoxu looked apologetic.

"As for how to change it, I can't think of it."

Zhu Gaoxu's words fell, and the secret room suddenly became silent.

Zhu Gaochi was shocked for a long time, and then turned his head to Zhu Di behind him with a trembling voice and asked.

"Father, this, this, is this still the second brother?"

You must know that when my second brother went to school in the past, it was a dog that people hated and scoffed at anything that Mr. taught.

When I grow up, I only know how to dance with guns and sticks, and I am not interested in the knowledge to be learned in governing a country or a place.

Now, after only a few months in the Imperial Prison, I have been able to understand the essence of the formulation of the country's major policies from an extremely profound level, and even pointed out the direction of the reform of the land policy in a logical and orderly manner!

This is an ability that many high-ranking officials who have been in the officialdom all their lives have never had?!

Zhu Gaochi's shock was a shock from the heart, and he suddenly remembered what his father had just said to him.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi's inner doubts began to waver a little.

The second brother Zhu Gaoxu, who can only grow muscles in his brain, was trained like this within a month, and he also taught such a subtle and profound "Theory of National Fortune".

I'm afraid that this Jiang Xinghuo can really put forward a better and more perfect land system policy.

Zhu Di put his hands on the back of the chair, and his face was very calm.

After listening to Zhu Gaoxu's questions with a trilling voice, Zhu Di did not show any emotion, but explained calmly.

"That's why I attach so much importance to Jiang Xinghuo and want to personally search Nanjing City with Zhongyiwei."

"On the one hand, Jiang Xinghuo's lecture on "The Theory of National Fortune" must not be known to the world."

"On the other hand, if you can't find Jiang Xinghuo and then let you hear these things with your own ears, it will be extremely unfair to you."

Zhu Gaochi said with some trepidation for a while: "Father, the emperor ......"

Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder and said, "Needless to say, I have my own plans in my heart, so let's listen to it." ”

The conversation between the father and son was not recorded by the scribes, and Ji Gang, who was sitting on the outermost side with his buttocks diagonally, became thoughtful.

"It seems that Your Majesty also attaches great importance to His Royal Highness the Great Prince." Ji Gang thought secretly in his heart.

"Gao Yu, you answered very well, you deserve to be my student."

Jiang Xinghuo never hesitated to praise students' progress, not to mention, his answer was really good.

And Li Jinglong, who was beside the two, looked at Zhu Gaoxu's eyes at this time, as if he had seen a ghost.

Wait, is this still the peerless fierce general Zhu Gaoxu he knows?

When did the show of crepe become written?

Moreover, although some of the terms were Li Jinglong's first encounter, Li Jinglong was fascinated by them, and even pondered the meanings of such terms as "productive forces" and "production relations" in detail.

Li Jinglong is a knowledgeable person, the more he pondered, the more fascinated he felt, and after pondering for a long time, the eyes that looked at Jiang Xinghuo were different.

Li Jinglong suddenly understood why Zhu Di believed Jiang Xinghuo so much, he felt that it was completely nonsense.

If it weren't for Jiang Xinghuo's ability to tell such a subtle theory, with this as a premise to win Zhu Di's trust, if any normal person were replaced, I am afraid he would not believe Jiang Xinghuo's prediction about the future, right?

Moreover, Li Jinglong's mentality has also quietly changed.

At the beginning, Zhu Di arranged for him to enter the imperial prison as his eyes and ears, and Li Jinglong felt that Zhu Di was making a big fuss, and he was secretly poking and probing him, which was really not like a human king.

But with Zhu Gaoxu's words, Li Jinglong suddenly felt that this was a good thing for him.

Not only can he learn a new knowledge, but more importantly, he can play the role of "Cao Guogong" in front of Zhu Di, if Jiang Xinghuo is killed and killed, he will also be unlucky; But if Jiang Xinghuo's set of things is valued and applied, Li Jinglong will benefit a lot.

Therefore, Li Jinglong's spirits perked up and waited for Jiang Xinghuo's interpretation.

Zhu Gaoxu also sat very respectfully, waiting for Jiang Xinghuo's guidance.

"As you said, the so-called land system, in the final analysis, is the embodiment of the relations of production on the land."

"It's still those three sentences, that is, the three elements of production relations."

"First, who owns all the means of producing food, such as arable land, ploughing cattle, and seeds?"

"Second, what is the status of the producers and those who own the food, whether they are one and the same, or whether they are masters and slaves, or employers and tenant farmers."

"Third, who ultimately distributes the grain."

"Since the Qin Dynasty, there has been no transformative agricultural revolution, that is, there has been no dramatic change in productivity...... In all dynasties, the reform of the land system, the alleviation of the contradiction between man and land, and then the stabilization of the dynastic tax base to maintain the continuation of the life of the dynasty were all based on these three points of production relations. ”

Jiang Xinghuo paused, and seeing that the two of them were listening very seriously, he continued.

"I want to ask the two of you, according to the actual situation of Daming now, how do you understand these three points?"

"And what are the specific differences between your understanding of these three points now and these three points in the past Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties?"

"Only in this way, in turn, can you truly understand all the land system reforms from the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties to the present."
