Daqin: The First Emperor glimpsed the secrets of heaven, my son is a cultivator of immortality

Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, by the end of Hongwu, the population of the Ming Dynasty was more than 58 million.

Because the emperor at that time was Zhu Yuanzhang, under the condition that everyone in the world knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was a ruthless person, those landlords did not dare to be too arrogant even if they wanted to hide the population.

So this data, theoretically speaking, should be relatively correct.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di and Zhu Yunjiang's uncle and nephew fought the Battle of Jingjian for four years, and although the Yongle Dynasty was powerful, it fought frequently with foreign countries, so the population of the Ming Dynasty dropped to more than 53 million during the Yongle period, which is basically reasonable.

But since then, the population of Ming has been in big trouble.

From after Yongle to the Apocalypse and Chongzhen periods, the population of the Ming Dynasty basically did not grow, and at most it was more than 60 million, and sometimes "seven nine zero" was not even as much as the Yongle Dynasty.

You know, the many years of rule on both sides of the Ming Dynasty, on the whole, the society is still very peaceful.

And it is well known that in peacetime, population booming is inevitable.

It is as if in the early years of the Han Dynasty, the population was not yet 20 million, but in the middle and late Han Dynasty, it was close to more than 60 million.

The same was true of the Tang Dynasty, which had a population of nearly 80 million on the eve of the Anshi Rebellion.

However, under the condition that the Ming Dynasty has maintained basic peace for more than two hundred years, the population has been stable below 60 million for a long time, which is obviously very unreasonable!

In fact, by the Chongzhen period, the population on the hukou was about 51 million, but in fact, the population of the entire late Ming Dynasty was likely to exceed 100 million.

Some people even say that it may reach 150 million, because at the peak of the Song Dynasty, our population exceeded 100 million for the first time.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the population of the Qing Dynasty to reach 300 million people in a hundred years from Kangxi to Qianlong.

And this is to be able to see very clearly, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the hidden households of the world have reached what extent.

Therefore, it shows that the Donglin Party and the landlord at the end should be killed for this reason.

On the one hand, the household registration is concealed and the household registration tax is not paid, and on the other hand, is there a refusal to allow the collection of commercial taxes, and the purpose of cooperating with one purpose is not to allow the imperial court to collect taxes?

As a result, the Ming Dynasty was directly killed by the Manchus with a population of more than 100 million and a population of less than 1 million.

So why many people in later generations said that the Donglin Party was the culprit that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty, now there is a reason.

The words were taken back.

Through the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to draw a conclusion.

When the authority of a dynasty is very strong and the control of the place is very strict, it is very difficult to hide the hukou.

And when the authority of a dynasty is absent and the control of the local area has been completely unbalanced, the situation of concealing the hukou becomes very serious.

Obviously, the more than three million people who were fried by Huan Ziye from Han, Zhao, and Wei this time were undoubtedly because the place was not under the control of Daqin.

The officials in these places and the local aristocrats used the family to deceive and conceal the population, that is, they did not pay taxes to the Great Qin court, and to some extent, this method was extremely effective.

In fact, from the thirty-second year of the first emperor two years later, Daqin's finances completely collapsed.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the emperor who was a victorious government, the prestige was too strong, and I was afraid that Daqin would follow in the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty.

And in history, if it is really Fusu who ascends to the throne, then the biggest possibility is that Daqin finally retreats to Guanzhong, throwing out the six countries that Ying Zheng fought down with his life.

However, if Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were strong enough, they were afraid that they would eventually form a situation in which the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Chu would prevail, and this would undoubtedly be a huge impact on the newly established unification.

So to some extent, the heavens let the two bastards Hu Hai and Zhao Gao directly retreat, pushing the already unstable Daqin into the abyss, although it was an extreme pain for Ying Zheng and Daqin.

But for the continuation of the entire nation, it may be a good thing for the great unification to truly penetrate the hearts of the people.

This is exactly the unkindness of heaven and earth, and all things are used as dogs!

Or maybe there is a permanence in heaven, not for Yao survival, not for death.

History is so cruel and rational.

......

Huanzi Yeyuan is ready to deal with the hidden problem in Han, Zhao, and Wei in the next step0...

But if you think about it, Huan Ziye knows that it is not yet the time to sort out these hidden people.

Just because of this, the number of students who graduated from Chenxing Academy and were then distributed to various places was only a thousand.

The filling of these thousands of people, coupled with the more than 200,000 Qin troops stationed in Han, Zhao, and Wei at this time, although it allowed Daqin to officially rule the region, it could not delegate imperial power below the county level.

Undoubtedly, here, Huan Ziye encountered another problem that all the great unified dynasties needed to face.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

That is to say, in the feudal imperial era, almost most of the time, the authority of the imperial court or the emperor could only reach the county level, and the township and village levels were basically the autonomy of the township.

As a result, local clans and squires emerged, who once had independent governance and even judicial power at the township and village levels.

So we can often see on TV dramas that the patriarch of the ancient clan can sink the adulterer and adulteress into the pond or beat them to death with an order.

This situation was even maintained until the fifties and sixties of the last century.

So why Mr. Lu Xun or feudal rites cannibalism, and the first shot of the modern new culture movement was hit on the head of Confucianism, this is why.

Because Confucianism had been completely reduced to the doctrine of 0.2 landlord interests by the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was no longer the slightest progress.

The three principles and five constants imprison not only people's thoughts, but also our bloody nature buried in our bones!

And the strict order of etiquette is like a net, fixing everyone in an inevitable position, which cannot be changed in his life.

How different is this from the caste system of Ah San?

It's a pity that the strength in the hands of the current Huan Ziye is still insufficient, and there are only more than a thousand Chenxing trainees who have successfully graduated, not 100,000 or even a million.

When the number of Chenxing students who have successfully graduated exceeds one million, that is when Huan Ziye can completely reverse the changes in the entire world.

In fact, not only the situation creates heroes, but those top heroes can create the situation in turn!
