.Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Chapter 581 "The old man's account is really settled!" Lin Haifeng, who was interested in listening, exclaimed repeatedly.

Yuan said the topic. Of course, I have to say one thing. The emperors in the Kanggan prosperous era were indeed "very diligent." This is not enough. Taking the Kangxi Dynasty, Wu Sangui, who was "crawling rabbits and dead dogs", pulled the flag, and Galdan rebelled in order to strive for "self-worth". In addition, the Tsarist Russia in the north was ready to move. Secondly, the civil and military officials in the court were working together to fill their own pockets. In addition, the emperors must open their eyes at any time while enjoying themselves.

They are not afraid of all officials.

As the saying goes, "Filling and lustfulness." If all the officials harvested granaries and stocked up in their pockets, they would be full of money left in their pockets, and they would wholeheartedly seek happiness for their individuals. That was a good thing that the emperors wanted. After all, the wool came from the sheep. Even if the officials could catch them, they would never put their dirty and greedy hands into the pockets of the emperors. The Emperors of the Qing Dynasty who were used to nomadic people were very clear about this principle. In fact, what they really had to be guarded against were those very few people who were very slid and even wanted to swallow the dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the end.

But in addition, they are all in their only "free" time. What else can they be busy with? Let's take a look at their great creations of the wise.

They stipulate that economic crops in the cotton and mulberry industry are only allowed to be planted in places where grains cannot be grown. This is OK? Some people must have expressed surprise when they heard this. In fact, this is not surprising. Although they were the emperors who were born in the extreme north, they were now clothes that did not need to wear cotton. They were used to more expensive warm objects with skins. But even if they were the emperors, they were difficult to be in the class of gods and immortals. They still could not live without grains. Therefore, grains are the most important.

Since even crops other than grain are banned, let alone industry and commerce. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty believed that there was one more worker in the market. Then there was a farmer among the fields. In other words, if the people were all stuck in the market, where would the emperors still need? Can things like hoes and weights also add to the emperors' stomachs? Jane is a joke. The emperors of the wise generally have the superhuman ability to prevent problems before they happen. Therefore, such as "investing and opening factories... is not feasible". "There is no discussion except for the strict prohibition of mines." Naturally, one after another...

After talking about this, Wei Yuan told Lin Haifeng that he lived in Xinghua and was trapped in Hangzhou. He was idle and had nothing to do. In order to eliminate loneliness, he once carefully calculated the accounts for Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasty.

Because under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the only hard currency that can measure the good fortune of China's economy at that time was the same as grain. Let's start with food.

By the 45th year of the Kangxi reign, the Qing regime had entered a stage of comprehensive stability in China. The total number of cultivated people in the country was more than 50,000 mu. According to the average average grain yield per mu was about 360. At that time, the total grain output in the country was roughly about 20 million jin, while the total population in the country was estimated to be less than 90 million. In this way, in the 45th year of the Kangxi reign, the per capita grain volume in the country was about 2,200 jin.

By the time of the 49th year of Qianlong, although the total number of the country increased and reached tens of millions of acres, the population at this time had already reached 300 million. According to the previous calculation, the total grain output in the 49th year of Qianlong was no more than 26 million kilograms. In other words, the per capita grain volume in the country was only less than 900 kilograms.

Nine hundred kilograms! Haha, it seems that that is not too much. If the people who are not in the tent heard this, they will probably beat them up. They are tall and their thumbs up, and they shouted several times. Of course, nine hundred kilograms of food. If they can actually fall into the grain stockpile of ordinary people, it will obviously be rich. Unfortunately, you can't get nine hundred kilograms, because you are just "average".

Let’s not talk about the rich men who hold a lot of land in their hands, nor about the greedy and insatiable officials. Let’s just talk about Mr. Qianlong. This romantic Mr. Qianlong only needs to have the next time in Jiangnan. How much food does he have to satisfy his luxury?

"The old man's account is really settled!" Lin Haifeng, who was relishing, exclaimed repeatedly.

Wei Yuan's interest in "calculating accounts" became even stronger with Lin Haifeng's admiration.

Without comparison, it is difficult to show the authenticity. Wei Yuan told Lin Haifeng again. He studied the economy of the Ming Dynasty. He used the Wanli period in the late Ming Dynasty as an example to illustrate his above argument. It is absolutely correct.

During the Wanli period, one tael of silver could buy rice of two stones (in the weights and measures of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the weight of one stone was equal to about 94.4 kilograms we are now). But in the Qing Dynasty, it was miserable. Whether it was Kangxi or the most normal price during the Qianlong period, a stone of rice could be sold for at least two taels of silver. Tsk tsk... How could the old surnames who lived in the "Kangxi and Qianlong era" have the only real purchasing power to be less than 2% of the down-and-out Ming Dynasty.

"I was puzzled. The wise emperors repeatedly warned the vast world that the farmland was so important. But how could the number of farming grows? Is it impossible to keep up with the ascension of the population? Is it not that "the prosperous era is "in the birth era. If everyone does not feed their children to the death, they will not be able to get the two ancestors of Kang and Qianlong?"

Lin Haifeng was stunned for a moment... and laughed.

"Don't laugh." Wei Yuan's face was very solemn. "I just heard someone use this to prove that the "prosperity" of Kangxi and Qianlong is true. Their reason is very sufficient. Without a "prosperity", where can we live and work in peace? Since there is no living and work in peace, how can we talk about the great plan for the future of birth?"

"This is actually a fallacy." Lin Haifeng held back his smile. "Birth and fertility are human instincts. Regardless of whether the world is prosperous, fertility and reproduction must continue. You are right. Kangxi is very lucky. Qianlong is the same. The sharp increase in population has nothing to do with "prosperity" or "prosperity". It just depends on whether there are large-scale destructive wars at home and abroad."

"Well. I really said the point."

Wei Yuan nodded. Then | he became a little depressed. He pondered for a while and took it back to restore his physical strength and energy. Then he said again. "The people who are low-priced and wealthy live and work in peace and contentment. They have a large number of tolerant, enlightened, and well-educated images of the monarch, ministers, and officials who are relaxed, free, equal and active political atmosphere. That is..."

Wei Yuan looked at Lin Haifeng and suppressed the words he wanted to say. He changed it to "That was a great era when society was full of turmoil and changes. During the Wanli period, Fang Yizhi (named Mizhi, nicknamed Mangong, and also called Luqi Fushan Yuzhe, and other alias. He was an outstanding thinker, philosopher and scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Fang Yizhi was born in Tongcheng District, Fengyili, Fucheng County, Anqing. He has been studying family since childhood and received Confucian education. Zeng's father traveled. He went to Jiading, Fujian, Funing, Hebei, and the capital. He saw famous mountains and rivers. He has experienced the Western books. He has learned a lot. After becoming an adult, he traveled to Huai, Wu and Yue. He visited the book collectors.

Read a book and became a member of the society. He once joined Chen Zhenhui, Wu Yinghou Fangyu and other leaders to reunite the society. He was discretionary and satirized the court. He was known as the "Four Young Masters". He was known as the "Four Young Masters". He was famous for his reputation in the world. In the 13th year of Chongzhen, Fang Yizhi became a Jinshi and served as a Hanlin Academy for review. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's peasant army invaded Beijing. Emperor Chongzhen cried bitterly in front of Chongzhen spirit. He was captured by the peasant army and tried to escape and fled back to Nanjing. At this time, his enemy Ruan Dacheng had already controlled the government of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty and was persecuted for wisdom. In desperation, he disguised himself as a fleeing Nanjing. He was stranded in the area of ​​Guangdong and Guangxi, Lingnan and sold medicine for a living. When the Qing army went south, he contacted the southeast anti-Qing forces to resist.

Later, the Qing army captured Pingle, Guangxi. Fang Yizhi was arrested. Faced with the violent invaders, he was steadfast and unyielding. Even the Qing generals were moved by justice. In the end, they refused to let him become a monk. After being released, Fang Yizhi was Yifu became a monk. He changed his name to Hongzhi. His name was Wuke. Fushan Yuzhe, who was alias Dazhiyao, settled in Qingyuan Mountain, Ling, Jiangxi in his later years and claimed to be an old man Jiwan. In the winter of the tenth year of Kangxi, Fang Yizhi was implicated in other matters and was arrested by the Qing court. He was then sent to Guangdong. When he passed by Wan'an, Jiangxi, he died in a boat. Fang Yizhi loved natural science knowledge and read Yu since he was a child. He loved physics. He once said, "I am not filial and have wisdom. He has the essence of the truth." During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Western learning spread to the east. Fang Yizhi followed his family education and passed on the "Yi" learning.

He also had extensive contact with priests and studied Western learning. After tireless efforts, he finally made great achievements in both philosophy and science. He reached a considerable height and was knowledgeable. Even the biography of the "Qing Dynasty History Drafts" said that "there are different stories with wisdom and knowledge. He was able to recite the history of 15 groups of classics and 15 years and can recite them in a wide range of knowledge. He was able to study the origin and analyze his interests from the rituals, music, sounds, calligraphy, painting, medicine, and courage. He can all examine their origins and analyze their purpose."). There are also the five giants of Li Shizhen, Xu Guangqi, Xu Xiake and Song Yingxing, as well as many people familiar with science, such as Zhu Zai and Li Zhizao and Wang Zheng. This is very rare. The Chinese scientific and technological civilization once again stood at the peak of the world. It was a political community that emerged. The school was extremely prosperous. The most beneficial to the biography |-New ideas and new cultures. 1."

"Yes!" Lin Haifeng echoed with emotion. "The "Wanli era" was also a period of complete defeat of Japan, the slaves in the east. China held its head high and raised its head in the east for the last time. Of course, it was also an era when the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. The world began to degenerate and the thoughts became more diversified. Crisis and challenges coexisted."

"No matter what, according to the saying, the vitality and vitality of this "Wanli era" are far more than the so-called "Kangxi and Qianlong Prosperity Era" that was so dead."

Wei Yuan said and sighed.

"Mr. Wei. I have a question to ask you." Seeing Wei Yuan a little unhappy, Lin Haifeng quickly found another topic. "Some people say that since the war, Zhong| has actually disappeared. Although the Ming Dynasty restored the Han Dynasty's territory a hundred years later, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty turned aside history and ignored the value of people's lives. Not only did they kill famous ministers, scepters and officials in court, but they often barred the nine tribes. There was no longer the good style of freedom of speech in the Song Dynasty that respected the value of human life and respected people'|. What do you think about this issue?"

The Yashan Battle that Lin Haifeng mentioned was launched in February 1279 AD. The remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian and Yuan army heading south with the great victory. They launched a more than 20 days and more than 20 days in the Yamen Sea of ​​Xinhui (now Jiangmen City, Eastern Province). The two sides invested hundreds of thousands of troops in total. The use of warships was a super-large-scale maritime battle of more than 2,000 ships. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in to many chapters. Support the author.
