Jae Chun's talent seems to be obviously stronger than Shang Tai's, and being able to ask such a question shows that he has a deep understanding of the knowledge he has imparted, and he is also very attentive, Xiao Lotian is deeply grateful.

"I haven't studied Buddhism systematically, but I appreciate the relationship between cause and effect in Buddhism, and any kind of appearance has cause and effect, some are simple, some are profound......"

"Killing people to repay debts and paying back, this is a relatively simple cause and effect relationship, the wheat you planted, you try to harvest rice, of course, it is impossible, the cow herding baby who has been tired of learning since childhood dreams of the title of the gold list, which is also not displayed......"

"In fact, to analyze social problems, there is also cause and effect, but it is more complicated, often the past countless causes cause the present countless effects, cause and effect entanglement can never cut off other generalized to analyze the ......"

"I say today that bureaucracy has harmed the budding of capitalism and the process of industrialization in China, and this is only one of the many historical reasons, and there are many more reasons for today's evil results......

"Land annexation is a big problem, the arable land in the Central Plains is limited, the plains are basically annexed by the landlord class, and the destitute peasants have always been a factor of social instability, and once they encounter natural and man-made disasters, they will rise up......

"Speaking of natural and man-made disasters, I once read the notes of the southern literati of the Ming Dynasty, and I can't remember exactly who wrote them, but in the notes, he once said that the West Lake in the late Ming Dynasty was frozen almost every year, and it could be driven ...... horses."

"Look at it, at that time, the weather changes were already terrible, the continuous drought in the north, the temperature in the south is also decreasing, I call this climate the Xiaoice Sichuan period, since nature is so cruel, it will make the destitute peasants unable to live, and the great rebellion will naturally be unavoidable......"

"We can't control the weather, and we can't change the amount of land empty-handed, do you see if we have entered a dead loop?"

Although King Shangtai is the monarch of the island country, he still has a deep study of the Central Plains civilization, and he sighed: "Yes, when the Central Plains Dynasty was first established, it was after wars, the population decreased sharply, the land was large and the population was small, and the natural economy entered a period of recovery......

"But when the dynasty experienced several generations of population expansion, the land contradiction began to rise, and gradually the phenomenon of land annexation reached its peak, and the desperate poor people who could not survive had no other way but to rebel......

"War is the last resort to land annexation, ......"

Xiao Lotian smiled, the two apprentices were enlightened, and he really didn't teach in vain, "Okay, it was the dead cycle of the Middle Ages, but now we have encountered a great change that has not been seen in three thousand years, and this dead cycle is about to be broken......"

"The core of the problem lies in industrial upgrading! The so-called change is universal, and the general rule is not painful; it is clear that the land can no longer support more people, so why not consider industrial upgrading? Why lock the people into the land?"

"If there is no land to plant, why not develop industry and commerce? The output of one acre of vegetable land and orchard is far higher than that of grain, so why not let the people circulate it for long-distance trade? What kind of evil law is it that the people still have to open the way when they go out?"

"During the Ming Dynasty, there were skilled weavers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the money earned by brocade weaving in one year was enough for a family of three to live a life of abundant food and clothing.

Xiao Lotian took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "I don't know if you still remember the East Asian grain adjustment a few years ago?"

"In fact, the food in the world is enough for us to enjoy, rice in South Asia is harvested three times a year, the long coastline is full of deep-sea granaries, and the whole earth is extremely rich in products, it depends on whether we can mobilize the ......."

"Rice from Southeast Asia, Korea, Japan, the Ryukyus, and Jiangnan has been continuously delivered to the capital through the hands of merchants, and within half a month I can bring the price of rice back to the prosperous Kangqian era, what do I rely on? Not the power of the merchants......

Even those mountain people with poor land, if the trade route is opened, the herbs, game, exotic flowers and grasses, and timber in the mountains will ...... Can't countless specialties be exchanged for money? Money can't be exchanged for food......

"You see, the development of industry and commerce is a very effective way to solve the cycle of land annexation, but it is a pity that the civil government crushes the businessmen to death, and the power of industry and commerce cannot explode at all......

"Without the great development of industry and commerce, what kind of industrialization can we talk about? The essence of industrialization is to improve productivity and efficiency, make commodities cheaper, produce more, and then exchange commodities for resources needed by the country......

"That's what Britain did, when Napoleon swept through Europe, Britain and France were obviously at war, but the French army's wool was still provided by Britain, why is this......?

"Isn't it ridiculous? It's ridiculous, it's obviously the enemy, but you still have to use the enemy's goods, and you have to let the enemy make money, this is the invisible hand of the market to adjust......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Letian stood up and walked back and forth in the room, "Isn't this right? Is this wrong? Develop industry and commerce, increase productivity, improve the technological level of goods, and then use these goods to exchange for the resources we Chinese need all over the world......

"Food is a resource, gold, silver, copper, and iron are also resources, even the ratio of men and women is out of balance, and daughters-in-law of different races are resources, in short, what is lacking in our country, and we should find a way to use money to make a big purchase in the world! Isn't this a matter of course? How can it become a great rebellion in the eyes of those bureaucrats......

"Merchants want to bully and die, the sea ban must be enforced to death, watching the desperate poor people in China starve to death one by one, they don't know how to go overseas to buy food to save their lives, you must know that a box of porcelain bowls in China can be exchanged for a boatload of grain overseas, with food to save lives, why do the desperate poor people rebel?"

"If you have enough to eat, you won't rebel, and this is a truth that everyone understands! Don't those civil officials understand? Wrong, they understand, they understand very well, but they deliberately pretend not to understand for the sake of their own selfish interests......

Xiao Lotian roared angrily, he pushed open the window and startled a large number of students who listened to the wall, and the one who hit the head was actually Xiang Ying, these college students didn't even cough in the process of stealing school for two hours.

Xiao Lotian smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't expel these students, he roared in a deep voice.

"It is these bureaucrats who want in their hearts that civilian officials will always control the government, and if industry and commerce are opened, the social status of those businessmen will be improved, and if the sea ban is opened, the generals will have countless opportunities to lead troops and make meritorious contributions, and their rights will be divided......"

"They are too smart, they actually understood the importance of industry and commerce earlier than the Europeans, and Guan Zhong in the Warring States period had already explained all the truths clearly...... China's affairs are not defeated by ignorance, but by selfishness. ”

"Civil politics comes from the landlord class, that is to say, the land is the foundation of their survival, in order to maintain the unshakable status of the land, he did not hesitate to kill the industry and commerce, kill the industrialization...... Because they know that the development of industry and commerce will definitely create a new place of wealth......"

"When all the wealth in society goes to industry and commerce, will the value of the land in their hands be devalued?

"The development of industry and commerce will inevitably bring about the rise of grassroots intellectuals, and their monopoly on knowledge will inevitably be shaken, how can they let this happen?"

"Hahaha......" Xiao Letian smiled bitterly, his eyes were already moist, he looked at the college students sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said extremely sadly.

Therefore, these civil officials would rather watch King Chuang's million-strong army crisscross the Central Plains, and tens of millions of people are hungry and cold and forced to eat Yizi than care...... They can even watch the emperor trapped in the treasury of more than 100,000 taels of silver and be indifferent, anyway, the Ming Dynasty will fall and the Qing Dynasty will fall, and there will be a new dynasty after the Qing Dynasty dies......"

They just looked at it so coldly, so ruthlessly and cold-bloodedly, they knew that as long as they opened the customs and sent overseas with porcelain, silk, and tea produced in Jiangnan, they could exchange for a shipload of grain and silver...... They knew they could do that!"

"But...... But until Chongzhen hangs himself on the coal mountain, they won't do that! For the sake of their own rights, they can watch tens of millions of people starve to death and be killed, and they don't care about the life or death of an emperor......

"Damn, what the hell! As long as you open the country, you can exchange it for food and silver, as long as you open the country and activate the power of merchants, the Ming Dynasty will not lose the country." But no one does it, and if you do it, they will do everything they can to kill you, this is the bureaucracy, an unstoppable nightmare in China for thousands of years!"

The tragic situation before the demise of the late Ming Dynasty made the study dead silent inside and outside, and finally Xiang Ying gritted his back molars and said, "Kill!

Everyone present, including the little emperor, clenched their fists and shouted, "Kill, kill, sinners through the ages......"

Xiao Letian raised his head and sighed, tears rolling down, "Do you know that when a kind person accepts the values of the bureaucrats, he is not a person...... I once had a horrible dream in which a group of bureaucrats could even set fire to innocent people in order to snatch a tiled house, they gathered around to drink and celebrate, they hugged beautiful women and were uninhibited, watching the living turn to ashes before their eyes, and they were indifferent......"

"When bureaucrats see money, they will become madmen and beasts, they will lose the last shred of conscience as human beings, and they will not only kill the people, but they will also kill the country......"

"The most terrible thing is that they will not admit their guilt until they die, and they will control public opinion to make themselves stand on the moral high ground and accuse others......"

"How can China's thousands of years of culture raise such a demonic freak!"

Note: This chapter is very depressing, written a bit of a side, everyone knows it, in fact, countless chaos in society has not been cut off from ancient times to the present, it's just a change of skin, and the culture in the bones is the same.

In fact, corrupt officials also have their own culture, African barbarian tribes also have culture, and the bureaucracy also has its own culture.

That is a kind of thought, a kind of thought that supports them to carry out that kind of behavior, and corrupt officials must have their own set of thoughts and values in their hearts, and there is no doubt about it.

All cultures have a historical heritage, as long as you study carefully, you can find the ghost under all the painted skins.
