After giving Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, a moment to understand, digest and absorb the meaning of [class solidification].
Yan Changqing just continued:
“After understanding the meaning of [class solidification], let’s continue to understand the reasons for [class solidification].”
"First of all, the first thing we need to know is that within a specific time period, the resources in society, or the resources in this world, are limited!!!
"For example, the total number of civil and military officials in the central court of the Ming Dynasty and the subordinates of local officials is about 70,000.
"The number of these 70,000 officials and subordinates should remain unchanged in the future unless His Majesty does not significantly increase the number of subordinates.
"And this is the limited resources of officials and subordinates!"
Yan Changqing then drew a semicircle on the blank blackboard, and wrote the words "seventy thousand officials and subordinates" inside the semicircle, which represented the limited resources of "four, four, three" officials and subordinates.
Below, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, listened to Yan Changqing's narration and looked at Yan Changqing's writing on the blackboard.
From time to time, little thoughts flashed through their minds.
However, I am limited by my own knowledge, vision and other factors, and I am unable to grasp that little idea.
This feeling of having only a half-knowledge and being only one step away from the answer, or even half a step away.
Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, couldn't help but be more eager to know what was going to be said next.
And Yan Changqing did not suspend their curiosity and continued to tell:
"Then the second point we need to know is that it is human nature to pursue a better life and future!"
"Normal people will long for a better life and future, and they will also long for their own small shop owners to have a better life and future!"
"The pursuit of a better life and future mentioned here refers to the fact that you were originally a beggar and homeless person who could not afford to eat three meals a day and had no stable place to live."
"Then becoming an ordinary citizen who can have three meals a day and have his own thatched hut is the better life and future you are pursuing."
"For another example, if you are just an ordinary person who can have three meals to eat and has your own thatched hut."
"Then the life of a wealthy family with a luxurious house and delicious food is the better future you are pursuing."
"And if you are already a wealthy family with a luxury home and delicious food from the mountains and seas."
"Then becoming an official of the Ming Dynasty's ninth rank or junior rank, with some power and status, is the better life and future you are pursuing.
"Similarly, if you are already a ninth-grade official or a minor ninth-grade official."
"Then continue along the nine-level and eighteen-level Ming official ranks, work hard to be promoted step by step, and obtain greater authority, higher status, and more noble status. This is the better life and future you are pursuing."
"And other things like that, and so on."
"To put it simply and popularly, that is, if you are not full, you will want to eat enough; after you are full, you will want to eat well; after you can eat better, you will start from the pursuit of good food and clothing. Begins to pursue the pursuit of identity, status, and power.”
"And not only pursue it for yourself, but also pursue it for your descendants!'
"This is the indelible nature of normal people's pursuit of a better life in the future!!!"
Yan Changqing drew two large circles under the semicircle that said "Seventy thousand officials and subordinates".
In the big circle on the left are written the four characters "Material Enjoyment", and below "Material Enjoyment" are written several sub-categories of "Not enough to eat", "Three meals to feed and clothe", and "Fine clothes and good food", and these are Each sub-category is linked by arrows.
On the left, the big circle with "Material Enjoyment" points to the big garden with "Spiritual Enjoyment" written on the right with an arrow.
Under the four words [Spiritual Enjoyment] in the big circle on the right, there are also small categories such as [Identity], [Power], and [Status].
Under these small categories, there are further small categories such as [from ninth grade], [positive ninth grade], [from eighth grade]... [from first grade], [positive first grade], and these Small categories are also linked by arrows.
Finally, the big circle on the right [Spiritual Enjoyment] is also linked by an arrow to the semicircle with [Seventy Thousand Officials and Subordinates] written on it!
These circular classification diagrams linked by arrows clearly and straightforwardly display the specific process of pursuing a better life and the future.
Looking at the two large circles on the blackboard, and then at the semicircle above the two large circles, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all looked thoughtful.
[Limited resources?!! The pursuit of a better life and the future?!!]
[Does it mean that out of the common people’s natural pursuit of a better life and future, too many people will fight for the limited resources?!!]
[When there are too many people fighting for limited resources, it will eventually lead to insufficient distribution of resources. At that time, some people will inevitably obtain the limited resources, while more people will not be able to obtain the limited resources!!!]
【But if this is just the case, will it lead to a solidification of the hierarchy?!!】
[No! It shouldn’t be right!! From the insufficient allocation of limited resources to the final solidification of the class, there should be other factors affecting the trouble!!!]
[So there should be a third factor that leads to the solidification of classes!!!]
[It’s just this third factor, what is it?!!]
After thinking hard for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang, who could not think of the answer on his own, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes looked at him with even more thirsty eyes.
Staring at Yan Changqing passionately………………
Feeling the thirst for knowledge from Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, Yan Changqing was even more motivated to talk.
"The third factor that leads to [class solidification] is that it is human nature to prioritize one's own survival!"
"And in order to prioritize your own survival, you will even deprive others of the chance to survive!!!"
“The survival mentioned here does not only refer to the life and death of life, old age, illness and death, but also includes other aspects of ‘survival’.
"For example, ensuring that you do not fall from the status of ordinary people with three meals and enough food to the status of beggars and refugees with no food to eat is also a kind of 'survival!"
"Another example is maintaining one's wealthy life with fine clothing and fine food, and preventing oneself from being reduced to the status of ordinary people who can only ensure three meals of food and clothing. This is also a kind of 'survival'!
"For another example, preventing yourself from being kicked out of the 70,000 Ming Dynasty officials and subordinates by 0.1 and being reduced to an ordinary wealthy household without official status is still a kind of 'survival'!"
"In other words, the so-called "survival" actually means preventing one's food, clothing, housing, transportation, identity, status, power, etc. from the current state to be reduced to a second-class or even the lowest state!"
"And this is the first nature of human beings - the nature of giving priority to ensuring one's own survival!!!"
As the last sentence fell, Yan Changqing also wrote down the three factors leading to "Strongening of Classes" under the heading "Strongening of Classes" at the top:
First, limited resources!
Second, the instinct to pursue a better life and future!!
Third, it is your first instinct to prioritize your own survival!!!
