Chapter 776: The Ultimate Unsolvable Contradiction Since Ancient Times, The Imbalance Between Supply
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting at the back, his eyes lit up after listening to the sighs of Zhu Biao, King Zhou Zhu and others, and he almost raised the importance of the "family planning" policy to the highest level in his heart.
[Looking back, we must list "family planning" first in "The Inheritance of the Dragon-Slaying Skills of the Emperor of Heaven", so that future generations must pay attention to and grasp the growth rate of the population! 】
[When the population of the people is growing close to the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity, it is time to implement the "family planning" policy, and it is necessary to implement the "family planning" policy decisively, promptly, powerfully, and forcefully!]
[As long as the population of the people under the Ming Dynasty remains in a relatively good state and does not touch the upper limit of the population carrying capacity of the land at that time, then the Ming Dynasty will be able to be passed down for generations!]
The way for the Ming Dynasty to last forever for thousands of generations appeared before his eyes!
If it were not for the presence of his sons, grandsons and Yan Changqing, Zhu Yuanzhang would be so excited and happy that he would jump up and down on the spot!
Yan Changqing, who was on the podium, first clapped his hands and expressed approval for Prince Zhu Biao’s narration:
"His Royal Highness, if you can clearly understand this, you can already become a teacher."
Zhu Biao immediately shook his head humbly and said:
"Sir, you are overly praised. I still have a lot to learn from you!"
Faced with the modesty of Prince Zhu Biao, Yan Changqing smiled and said nothing. He turned to look at Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, Chu Wang Zhu Zhen, and Qi Wang Zhu Su on the other side [with a gentle expression:
“Did His Highness the King of Zhou, His Highness the King of Chu, and His Highness the King of Qi just say that the family planning policy can keep the Ming Dynasty alive forever?!!”
"Fifty-seven" Hearing Yan Changqing's question, King Zhu Zhu of Zhou, King Zhu Zhen of Chu, and King Zhu Su of Qi all raised their eyebrows.
Then Zhou Wang Zhu Ru was puzzled and said:
"Is not it?!!"
"Since the fundamental reason for the demise of past dynasties was that the population of the people reached the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity at that time."
"Then as long as the population is controlled and the population is not allowed to grow to the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity at that time, we should be able to continue to support the people."
"Then the common people should not be unable to provide for themselves due to insufficient land population carrying capacity, and eventually embark on the path of rebellion."
Yan Changqing smiled and gave an example:
"Theoretically, the family planning policy can indeed solve the problem of the population reaching the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity in disguised form."
"But in reality, even if the family planning policy is implemented, it will only delay the time when the population reaches the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity, and it will not really solve this problem.
"For example, let's say there are buns for a hundred people."
"Now there are ten people including the emperor's royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, landowners and gentry, and thirty common people. Each of them has eaten a portion of buns for one person, and there is still enough buns left to feed sixty people."
"Then as long as the family planning policy is implemented and the number of civilians is controlled, the subsequent increase in the population will not exceed 60 people.'
"For example, the number of newly added civilians has been maintained at around 50 people, and the total civilian population has been maintained at around 80 people."
"Theoretically, these one hundred buns are enough to feed everyone."
"However, in reality, no matter whether it is the emperor's royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, landowners and gentry, they will not be satisfied with just eating a bun."
"Even if they can't eat the second bun, they will continue to occupy the second bun, the third bun, and even the fourth bun, the fifth bun, and more buns!"
"So what actually evolved is that although there are only ten people in the emperor's royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, and landlords, they are very likely to occupy the buns for thirty people and the buns for forty people. "
"Even steamed buns for fifty people, steamed buns for sixty people, or even steamed buns for more people."
"This leads to the fact that theoretically it can support a hundred people [but in fact, it only reaches the upper limit after supporting five or sixty people]"
"So even if you implement the family planning policy based on the current upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity, the total population will be controlled at around 80 people."
"But in fact, the shares belonging to the common people were too much occupied by the emperor's royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, and landlords and gentry."
“As a result, the share that could support eighty or ninety people at most in the past is now only able to support five or sixty people at most.
"In the end, the extra twenty or thirty ordinary people will fall into the situation that His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned before."
"Because we didn't have enough to eat, we had no other options, and we couldn't survive anymore. In the end, we had no choice but to risk our lives and gather people to rebel!"
"This is why I say that the family planning policy cannot really solve the problem of the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity.
"No matter how good your family planning control is, there will always be emperors, royal families, civil and military officials, noble marquises, landlords and gentry who will seize the share that originally belongs to the people."
"Break the balance between family planning and the upper limit of land population carrying capacity, thereby lowering the overall upper limit of support."
After hearing this, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, they all understood why Yan Changqing said that the family planning policy could not truly solve the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity.
Even if they don't want to admit it, they have to admit that what Yu Changqing said is the truth!
In terms of resource allocation and occupation, the emperor's royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, landowners and gentry indeed have to occupy a much larger share than ordinary people.
However, to put it bluntly, this is indeed what it should be.
If the emperor's royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquis, and landlords and gentry do not occupy more resources, even if the emperor's royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquis, landlords and gentry are treated the same as ordinary people.
Then who is willing to work hard to govern the world, and who is willing to risk his life to make a bright future?!!
And what is the difference between these emperors, royal families, civil and military officials, noble marquises, landowners and gentry, and ordinary people?!!
Yan Changqing turned sideways and wrote the subtitles "Conflict between people and resources", "Conflict between people and land", and "Land annexation" on the blackboard, then turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc. The princes continued:
"As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said, 'The rise and fall of all dynasties is ultimately nothing more than changes in the population carrying capacity of the land.'
"To put it bluntly, this is actually the contradiction between the imbalance between supply and demand of people and resources!"
“The so-called resources include, but are not limited to, natural resources such as land, forests, grasslands, animals, and mineral deposits.”
"The contradiction between people and resources actually refers to the contradiction that limited resources [cannot support] an increasing number of people at a certain time, in a certain place, and within a certain range."
"And this contradiction can be said to be the ultimate contradiction that runs through the past, present, and future, and exists within and outside the Central Plains, among all human groups, and that cannot be truly resolved and can only be alleviated through continuous postponement!"
"And this contradiction between people and resources, from the past two thousand years to the current stage of Ming Dynasty, if it can be concreted, it specifically refers to the contradiction between people and land!"
"And the conflict between people and land can be divided into two situations."
“One is the normal contradiction between people and land, that is, because the population is not directly proportional to the agricultural land area, the population continues to increase, and the demand for food continues to increase, which leads to the phenomenon that land resources are not enough to meet the needs of the population.
"The other is the contradiction between people and place that is abnormal, but is very common in the past, present, and even the future."
"This abnormal contradiction between people and land refers to the fact that although the population is temporarily proportional to the area of agricultural land, land resources are theoretically sufficient to meet the food needs of the total population."
"But in fact, most of the land, as well as the food and other resources produced by most of the land, are in the hands of a few people, resulting in a lack of land and food for the majority of people."
"And this phenomenon is - land annexation!!!"
"The examples just cited of the emperor's royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, landlords and gentry occupying the share of buns originally belonging to the common people are also talking about land annexation!"
"It can be said that in the past two thousand years, for all the Central Plains dynasties that were not destroyed by foreign enemies, the fundamental reason for their demise was land annexation!"
“The emperor’s royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, landlords and gentry and other minority groups have controlled more and more land resources through land annexation, and have continuously compressed and reduced the land resources that the common people can control... ………
"This further greatly lowers the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity, reducing the number of people it can theoretically support, making the country's population more quickly reach the upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity!"
"Ultimately, it will make it easier for this country to turn from prosperity to decline and lead to destruction!"
"To put it simply, the more serious a country's land annexation is, the faster the country will perish!"
"This is also the reason why no dynasty has truly lasted for more than three hundred years since ancient times. This can also be said to be a "hundred-year dynasty cycle law"!"
Zhu Yuanzhang below, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes heard Yan Changqing's last words, they couldn't help but straighten up and said solemnly:
"The faster the land annexation is, the faster the dynasty will be destroyed?!!"
"No dynasty can truly last more than three hundred years?!!"
""Three Hundred Years of Dynasty Periodic Law"?!!"
...
Yan Changqing wrote the second chapter of "Dragon Slaying Skills: The Third Core of [Land]" on the blackboard - "Three Hundred Years of Dynasty Cycle Law", then nodded and affirmed:
"Yes, for example, the Qin Dynasty only lasted fifteen years after its unification."
"The Han Dynasty lasted four hundred and five years."
"The Jin Dynasty lasted one hundred and sixteen years."
"In the Sui Dynasty, Xiangguo left the treasury."
"The Tang Dynasty lasted for 274 years."
"The Song Dynasty lasted for 319 years.
"The Yuan Dynasty lasted for ninety-seven years."
"Other minor dynasties during the split period such as the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are ignored because none of them lasted more than three hundred years."
"Among the dynasties just mentioned, the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty seemed to have lasted for more than three hundred years.
"But in fact, if we really want to say that, the Han and Song dynasties did not really last more than three hundred years."
"Because the Han Dynasty was divided into two dynasties, the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty lasted for 210 years and the Eastern Han Dynasty lasted for 195 years.'
"Similarly, the Song Dynasty was also divided into two dynasties: the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty enjoyed the country for 167 years, and the Southern Song Dynasty
He lived for one hundred and fifty-two years.
"In other words, both the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were destroyed once.'
"It's just that it was revived again later and then continued to use the same country name as before."
"So in essence, the dynasty that truly lasted the longest in the past two thousand years can be said to be the Tang Dynasty!"
5.2 "But even the Tang Dynasty only lasted for 274 years and did not really break the three-hundred-year dynasty cycle law."
"In other words, for all dynasties in the past two thousand years, three hundred years is the end of a dynasty's success!"
"Even for today's Ming Dynasty, three hundred years is also very likely to be the end of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Because land annexation did not only exist in the past dynasties, but also exists in today's Ming Dynasty!"
"It's just that the Ming Dynasty has just been established, and there is strong suppression by His Majesty, so the land annexation between the royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, landowners and gentry and the common people has
It's just not obvious yet.
"But just because it's not obvious yet, doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"
"As long as the phenomenon of land annexation exists, it will further lower the theoretical upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity, making it easier and faster to increase the country's population.
The land has reached the upper limit of its population carrying capacity.
"In turn, the country began to "turn from prosperity to decline" more quickly, and then gradually turmoil began among the people at the bottom, and then developed into an irreversible and irresistible uprising among the people.
righteous. "
"In the end, the old court was completely overthrown, a new one was established, and resources such as land and acres were divided again, so that the conflict between man and land once again entered a relatively relaxed stage!"
