Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Silence once again spread in the Canopy Hall.

Even if you don’t understand the language of productivity changes or feudal countries.

Even if you don’t understand what a government-run economy is and what economic nationalization is.

But 40 million guan compared to 2 million guan, almost 8 million guan compared to 50,000 guan, these simple numerical comparisons are really hard not to raise eyebrows.

Especially those who can stand here are all familiar with the history of Song Dynasty.

Who doesn't know that Song Shenzong fought many battles with Xixia during his reign, and also suffered major defeats in Lingzhou and Yongle City?

Looking horizontally and vertically, whether it is territory, national strength, or even stability, the Song Dynasty was far inferior to the Ming Dynasty.

But as a result, in terms of commercial taxes, the tax revenue of the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty by dozens of times, and the difference in wine taxes was even a hundred times higher.

This contrast is so cruel that Mingzi, who just now said with great interest that Jia Sidao's methods had lost importance, has become silent now.

Zhu Di looked at his eldest brother, who was also silent, and then at his eldest father, whose eyebrows were already entangled, and hesitated and said:

"Dad, otherwise the business tax..."

The young man named Wen Mang's voice sounded similar to his, but he could only understand the words, let alone half-understanding of what he said.

However, Zhu Di could understand the meaning. This was a quite straightforward statement about his father's political failures.

And this matter is related to wealth, wealth is related to military expenditure, and the amount of military expenditure is related to the safety of Beiping. However, he originally planned to wait until after the Chinese New Year to conquer Beiping, so it is no wonder that Zhu Di took the cake.

But based on past experience, telling dad about such things often has only one result.

"You know what the heck, we just said that the Ming Dynasty must be based on agriculture!"

He lowered his head to be scolded and saw Zhu Zhen baring his teeth in a silly manner at him. Zhu Di couldn't help but roll his eyes, he knew it.

Then he heard his elder brother's voice:

"Dad, other things can be discussed later. This wine tax might as well be implemented on a trial basis."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in approval:

"Grain is needed to make wine, and increasing the wine tax is in line with agriculture. Biao'er has really considered it thoroughly."

Zhu Di suddenly felt a bit toothache.

Having said this for now, Tomorrow Zi also brought up another matter:

"Then who is this great saint, Emperor Xuande?"

Although he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes could not help but move to the happy Zhu Xiongying who was whispering to Zhu Bai.

Isn't Xiongying his great grandson?

From looking at the dragon slip before, I knew that Zhu Bai was forced to death by his nephew in the 32nd year of Hongwu.

Zhu Bai's posthumous name was given by his son Zhu Biao.

Do you think we followed the example of Hongwu in his later years and trained Biao'er, so that Xiongying also got involved in political affairs, which resulted in trouble, which was not rectified until Biao'er ascended the throne?

If the hero can be called a saint-grandson, which is full of praise, then it may be because the hero has learned from it and reflected on himself.

In this way, isn't our Emperor Hongwu... a Three Sage Emperor?

Da Mingzi's heart skipped a beat. Seeing how harmonious he was with Zhu Bai, Da Sun's eyes became softer and softer, and he told his son:

"We talk to you a lot about government affairs on weekdays. If Biao'er learns anything, you might as well talk to Xiongying."

Although the good saint has made mistakes, if he is trained in advance, he may not be able to break through the established barriers through this light curtain!

…

In Guangzheng Hall, Master Kong Jiong almost wanted to shed two tears.

He couldn't even remember the last time he heard this junior address Taizong's temple name so seriously.

Put down the rosary in your hand for the time being, and straighten your chest and head slightly.

Isn't this matter of business taxation the saving grace of Song Taizong?

There is no extravagant desire to be restored to the title of King of the Jin Dynasty, but is the status of a monk negotiable?

He could hardly remember the delicious taste of the many delicious meats in Bianliang.

As a result, when I looked up, I saw the eldest brother looking at me unkindly:

"If there is no incident on the Gaoliang River, if you can understand half of the war, if you can rely on the forbidden army that I have trained, you will slowly plan for the Yanyun Land."

"Why do you need Emperor Hongwu to clean up your mess?"

"If the emperor who unifies China and promotes commerce to rejuvenate the country can really build a foundation like that of Taizong in the Tang Dynasty, how can I say anything against you? Why will future generations never forget it?"

As a result, Master Kongjiong's shoulders that had just been straightened up began to collapse a little bit.

Shaking his head, Zhao Kuangyin stopped looking and turned to ask Qian Chu:

“What is economic nationalization?”

Qian Chu hesitated again and again, but finally shook his head:

"I don't know, I still need to think about it some more."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded in understanding, but Li Yu was a little dissatisfied:

"Why don't the officials ask me?"

After looking Li Yu up and down, Zhao Kuangyin shook his head:

"If you care about business, why do you meet like this?"

Jinling's business is indeed prosperous, but Li Yu obviously doesn't understand this prosperity.

The leader of the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan was speechless, and Qianchu in Qiantang laughed loudly.

[Some people say that Jia Sidao's planning method and public land law led to the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although the planning law is suspected of being a party-to-party anti-corruption measure, it is essentially an anti-corruption measure for the military.

If anti-corruption can lead to the collapse and demise of a regime, it would be better to say that the regime is already dying.

The meaning of the Public Land Law is much more complicated. It can even be said that the process from implementation to completion of this decree is an excellent model for studying traditional landowners in ancient China.

In ancient times, feudal landowners did not interfere with the production process. Their main economic function was to possess land rent. For landlords, land rent was the means of their daily consumption.

Therefore, the more land one has, the higher the living standard will be, and the stronger the desire for material life will be, which will prompt the landlords to find ways to occupy more land, so as to satisfy more material desires.

This simple cycle is the nature of the landlord class.

The public land law not only restricts the landlords' possession of land by class, but also reduces the land area owned by the landlords by forced purchase of land, which directly leads to a decline in living standards, which is naturally very difficult for the landlords to tolerate.

For the people oppressed by the landlords, the public land law did not ease the class contradictions, it only changed the exploitation of the masters.

The situation of the common people did not improve, but became more miserable because of the fierce conflict, so the common people were naturally hostile to the public land law.

Of course, the most important thing is that in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the regime of the Southern Song Dynasty had undergone a subtle shift.

Because of the unprecedented annexation of land, the landlord land ownership occupied a dominant position in all land relations.

The interests of the landlords and the interests of the Southern Song regime overlapped, and the landlord class had become the actual master of the Southern Song regime.

We have said before that the essence of the public land law is to replace the landlord land ownership with the feudal land state ownership, which is essentially to kill the local rich.

It can be said that the problem faced by Jia Sidao is essentially the same as the previous reforms in the Northern Song Dynasty. They all want to complete political reforms without bloodshed and are full of compromise.

But little do people know that revolution is never a dinner party. 】
