After Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other princes had digested what he just said, Yan Changqing continued:
"At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Chu and Han Dynasties were fighting for supremacy. The world was tired of military revolution and labor, and the people lived in poverty."
"After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, rule by inaction was implemented. Within a few decades, the "Government of Wen and Jing" by Emperors Wen and Jing of the Han Dynasty appeared. Social wealth was accumulated in large quantities, and the ropes used to thread the copper coins were rotten. "
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relied on the huge wealth accumulated during the Wenjing period to conquer all directions, and the Western Han Dynasty ushered in a prosperous period."
"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's restructuring led to people all over the world being in dire straits. Refugees rose up everywhere to resist Wang Mang's rule. Chimei and Lulin competed for power in Chang'an. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, settled in Hebei and swept the world, ending the turmoil that lasted for more than ten years."
"After Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, what followed was the rule of Mingzhang." The economy that had experienced the war was waiting for prosperity. It only took more than thirty years for the social population and wealth to increase rapidly, and the officials governed the Qingming Dynasty. , cultural prosperity. "
"After that, Sima usurped the Wei Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty was established. Then there were events such as Empress Jia's chaos, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Wuhu chaos in China, and the Yi Guan's southern migration. In the end, the Jin Dynasty did not usher in a period of great governance.
"After that, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian unified the sixteen kingdoms, reunified the world, and created the 'Kaihuang Rule'."
"During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, heroes appeared all over the world, and the people were also tired of hard work. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin reigned for more than 20 years and also initiated the 'Government of Zhenguan'.
"After that, Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, continued the legacy of Zhenguan, kept Li Shimin's will and instructions in mind, and continued to implement the political and economic system formulated during the period of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, develop the economy, promote culture and education, the people were prosperous and the borders were stable, and the world was governed, which is known in history as ' The rule of Yonghui'.
“At the end of the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, heroes from all over the country proclaimed themselves emperors, civil strife in the north, foreign invasions, and natural and man-made disasters, which caused a large number of people to move southward and the countryside to be desolate [it became a period of great division in history.”
"When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he still faced threats from the northern border."
"However, more than thirty years later, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne, fought against corruption, promoted integrity, and attached great importance to agricultural development. The technology, culture, and commercial trade of the Song Dynasty developed rapidly, the economy prospered, and the national power became abundant. It is known in history as the 'Government of Xianping'."
"Looking back to the Yuan Dynasty, in the first thirty years, Kublai Khan conquered east and west, and in the middle thirty years, the Mongolian princes attacked and killed each other. In the last thirty years, under Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, officials were corrupt, the government was corrupt, taxes were serious, and the people They were miserable and started to resist."
"In the end, His Majesty started from a slight cold, conquered the south and conquered the north, conquered the world, and established the Ming Dynasty."
"Today's world, if placed in the history books of future generations, is also a prosperous age worthy of praise."
"Looking at the past dynasties, we can find that except for the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, every time there is chaos, there will always be a peaceful world immediately after."
“Is there any pattern to follow in this situation of chaos and chaos?!!”
"After troubled times, usually within a few decades, there will be a state of chaos. Is this a law of historical development?!!"
"If so, what is this rule?!!"
"If we find and master this law, can we make all the rulers of the dynasty prosperous?!!"
After hearing what Yan Changqing said, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes also discovered that it seemed like this was true.
Except for the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, other dynasties in the past seemed to have basically ushered in one or several consecutive eras of great rule within the first few decades of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
This phenomenon does indeed seem to follow some kind of pattern.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then said:
"In the past dynasties, except for the Jin Dynasty, which came from Wei, most of the other founding kings immediately conquered the world. Compared with the emperor who was raised in a deep palace in the later period, "naturally the founding kings were more wise and powerful. Able to experience.”
“Coupled with the hard work of the founder of the country, a prosperous era of great governance was quickly ushered in in the first few decades of the founding of the country.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if there was really a pattern in this, then the pattern would be that the founding kings were more capable.
After all, if you don’t have the ability, how can you end the troubled times and become the Ninth Five-Year Master?!!
He would have died in the chaos a long time ago!!!
And it is normal (bhbh) for a capable founder to create a prosperous era.
Yan Changqing looked at the other princes noncommittally and asked:
"Does anyone else have a different opinion?!!"
King Qin Zhu Xi frowned for a moment, then relaxed his brows again and said:
"In addition to what my father said about the ability of the founding king to be more outstanding, there should also be reasons for the people's concerns.
"After the common people have experienced more than ten or even decades of military service, corvee labor, and war, everyone hopes to live a peaceful and stable life.
"Coupled with the founding king's diligent governance, the combination of the two resulted in a prosperous era of great governance within just a few decades after the founding of the country."
After King Zhu Di of Qin finished speaking, King Zhu Fan of Jin also expressed his different opinions:
"The founder of the country can review the gains and losses of the previous dynasty, and draw on the experience of the previous dynasty's demise to formulate policies and systems that are more in line with the development needs of the current dynasty and the needs of the people.
"Following the will of the people and the will of the court, that's why we were able to create a prosperous era of great governance in less than a few decades after the founding of the country!"
After Yan Wang Zhu Di thought for a moment, he also expressed his thoughts:
"Every dynasty changes, wars are endless, soldiers suffer in the army, people suffer from labor, fields are barren, people die of hunger for thousands of miles, Yizi eats each other, people invade each other, the world is exhausted, it is the autumn of troubled times!"
"After the end of the troubled times, the founders of the new dynasty faced the dilapidated land of the Central Plains. How to rest with the people and restore people's production as soon as possible is a top priority."
"Therefore, the founders of dynasties often adopted policies of light corvee and low taxes, and resting with the people."
"It was like this in the early Western Han Dynasty, it was like this in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, it was like this in the early Sui Dynasty, it was like this in the early Tang Dynasty, it was like this in the early Song Dynasty!"
"As long as the founding king and the succeeding kings adopt the policy of light corvee and low taxes and resting with the people, they will basically be able to usher in a prosperous era of great rule!"
"However, neither the Jin Dynasty nor the Yuan Dynasty implemented the policy of light corvee and low taxes and resting with the people at the beginning of the founding of the country, and they also did not usher in the great prosperity of the country after the founding of the country.
"So I think the key reason why we were able to create a prosperous era in just a few decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China lies in the policy of 'light corvee, low tax and rest with the people'!"
After King Zhu Di of Yan finished speaking, King Zhu Ji of Zhou said perfunctorily:
"What my father and brothers said is right, and I think so too.
Later, Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Su also expressed slightly different opinions.
Finally, Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Prince Zhu Biao, who had not spoken since just now, just staring at the blackboard with a thoughtful look, and asked in a gentle tone:
"I wonder if your Royal Highness has other ideas?!!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Qin Wang Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes also focused their attention on Prince Zhu Biao.
Upon hearing Yan Changqing's inquiry, Prince Zhu Biao replied uncertainly:
"I think it has something to do with the 'land population carrying capacity' that Mr. Yan just said, so I have just been thinking about the number of Miao people in the past dynasties."
"However, I have not carefully learned about the population of common people in past dynasties. I only roughly know the peak population of common people in the Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Han Dynasty from Mr. Yan's mouth. It is difficult to connect them to get an answer."
Zhu Biao felt that Yan Changqing would not talk about another part of the content without any reason. There should be a certain connection between what Yan Changqing said before and after.
Therefore, Zhu Biao believes that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the answer to great rule will basically come, or that the historical law should be hidden in the "land population carrying capacity" that Yan Changqing mentioned before.
But it is a pity that although he thought of where the answer might be hidden, he was limited by his insufficient understanding of the population of people in various dynasties in the past, and was unable to go further to find out the specific answer hidden in it, or in other words, historical laws.
After hearing Prince Zhu Biao's answer, Yan Changqing, who had always had a calm and gentle expression, revealed a faint smile and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not carefully understood the population of common people in past dynasties. It just so happened that I went to find out about it before."
"His Royal Highness, you may wish to take a look at it first, and then think about what I just said about the population carrying capacity of the land."
After saying that, Yan Changqing turned around and wrote a set of population data of the past dynasties and different periods on the blackboard while reading:
"In the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Emperor's reign, when Qin Shihuang unified the country, the population of the Qin Dynasty was about 30 million."
"But after the wars in the late Qin Dynasty, the population of the common people in the early Western Han Dynasty was only about 15 million to 10 to 8 million people."
"Then from the early Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the population increased again to about 60 million people."
"Then from the Wang Mang period to the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the total population of the common people dropped to about 35 million. It was not until three years after Yongshou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty that the number of common people exceeded 60 million again."
"Afterwards, from the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the formation of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu, the loss of the common people's population was estimated to be about 60%. At that time, the number of common people was only about 23 million."
"From the Three Kingdoms to the Western Jin Dynasty, the population at that time was about 35 million."
"After that, the north and the south were divided, and the north entered the Sixteen Kingdoms era, and the population experienced significant declines many times. It was not until the fifth year of Daye [after the reunification of the Sui Dynasty] that the population of the common people recovered to about 60 million."
"The wars in the late Sui Dynasty caused the population to drop by more than 50%. By the early Tang Dynasty, there were only about 25 million people."
“On the eve of the An-Shi Rebellion, the number of people increased to over 80 million, reaching a new peak.
"Then the wars in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties led to a sharp decline in population. By the early Song Dynasty, the population was estimated to be only about 40 million, and there were only about 30 million people in its territory."
"The population continued to grow during the Northern Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Daguan, the population of the Song Dynasty exceeded 100 million, and the total population of the Liao (Jin), Xixia, and Dali regimes was also more than 10 million."
"The wars between the two Song dynasties caused a significant decline in population, but the population of the Southern Song and Jin Dynasties increased thereafter. At that time, the total population of the Song, Jin, Xixia, Dali and other countries exceeded 120 million."
"Afterwards, Mongolia destroyed the Jin Dynasty and Xixia caused unprecedented catastrophe. When the Yuan Dynasty was unified, the actual number of common people was only about 70 million. By the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the number of common people increased to about 85 million. "
"The chaos that followed at the end of the Yuan Dynasty caused a sharp decline in the population of the common people. By the time of the unification of the Ming Dynasty, the number of common people was only about 60 million.
People around.
After writing down the population of the common people in the early Ming Dynasty, Yan Changqing turned around and looked at Prince Zhu Biao and said with a smile:
"Has your Highness the Crown Prince thought of anything?!!"
Looking at the population data of the past dynasties listed by Yan Changqing on the blackboard, matching it with the rise and fall of each dynasty in the past, and finally combining it with the Yan Changqing
The "land population carrying capacity" mentioned by Chang Qing before.
The answer that was originally as vague as the moon in a flower in the mirror, or the historical pattern that often ushered in great prosperity in the decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, gradually emerged clearly.
In the mind of Prince Zhu Biao.
In the end, a look of enlightenment flashed in the eyes of Prince Zhu Biao, and he took a deep breath. His eyes were excited and complicated as he looked at Yan Changqing and at the words "Land" on the blackboard.
The words "Population Carrying Capacity" came with a deep sigh:
"It turns out that the rise and fall of all dynasties is ultimately just a change in the population carrying capacity of the land!"
"Changes in the land's population carrying capacity are the fundamental factors that determine the rise and fall of a dynasty!!"
"The upper limit of the land's population carrying capacity determines the length of a dynasty's prosperity!!!"
