"Yes, but this is not the main reason. There has been an old saying since ancient times, natural disasters and man-made disasters. What is truly terrible are not natural disasters, but man-made disasters that are more terrible than natural disasters."
"Abnormal monsoons are common. Why do natural disasters often become fatal factors when a dynasty is about to perish? But when a dynasty is prosperous, even if there are natural disasters, they will soon subside."
"Remember, man can conquer nature. Natural disasters are not terrible, but man-made disasters are terrible."
Liu Jin looked at Huang Jinquan and nodded, then thought about it and said.
The middle-aged man on the side kept recalling the history books he had read after Huang Jinquan told the cause of the demise of the past dynasties. He had been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, so history was a must.
As the saying goes, taking history as a mirror can help us know the ups and downs. After his busy life every day, he would take some time to read history and sum up his gains and losses.
Now that I heard that the rise and fall of this dynasty was closely related to this strong wind, I immediately became very energetic. When I thought about it carefully, what was really going on? It seemed that every change of dynasty happened in the year of famine in the north.
, the peasants who could no longer survive launched a massive peasant uprising.
Most of these peasant uprisings ended in failure, but as the fuse, the peasant uprisings gradually led to the change of dynasties.
Ultimately, it was the peasant uprising that overthrew the old dynasty.
Just as he was deep in thought, Liu Jin's words rang out and struck in his mind like a bell or drum.
"Yes, this kind of natural disaster happens all the time. When it happens in the prosperous times, there won't be any problems or problems at all. But if it happens at the end of a dynasty, it will definitely be the trigger for the dynasty's demise."
"The ultimate problem still arises from the human problem."
He seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes began to shine, and he began to think deeply.
"So what's wrong with this guy?"
"Why is it that nothing happens at the beginning of a dynasty, but problems occur at the end of a dynasty?"
Soon, he frowned again and kept thinking about this problem in his mind. However, this problem has been pondered by countless people since ancient times, and it is also a problem that no one has been able to figure out.
Even if someone figured this problem out, they ultimately failed in the face of reality and could not change anything.
"What a saying, man can conquer heaven!"
Huang Jinquan thought about Liu Jin's words carefully, and then couldn't help shouting.
"I'm just picking up people's wisdom, it's nothing."
"This world is very big and wonderful, and we, the Ming Dynasty, are just a very small part of it."
Liu Jin smiled and shook his head and said.
In my heart, I hope that what I said today can create some ripples in this era. Even if some people believe what I say and can open their eyes to see the world and understand the world beyond the Ming Dynasty, then it will not be wasted in vain.
Why are you drooling so much?
"Ding dong, complete the hidden mission and attract the attention of Emperor Hongzhi. The reward points will be 3,000 points."
At this moment, the system's voice came to mind again in Liu Jin's mind.
"Haha, I finally have points. I didn't expect how lucky I was. I met Emperor Hongzhi when I went out for a meal. That boy should be Zhu Houzhao, the future Ming Wuzong. But this Zhu Houzhao should not be more than 9 years old now.
Yes, judging from this development, he is almost more than ten years old."
Seeing the 3,000 points arriving in his account, Liu Jin became very happy.
In fact, when Emperor Hongzhi and others came upstairs, the system released a new task. Originally, Liu Jin was still thinking about how to attract his attention to complete the task and gain points.
Huang Jinquan, Tong Yuan, and Lin Shuhong just gave Liu Jin the opportunity, so Liu Jin simply took this opportunity to give a good lecture on geography.
Many of these things are exaggerated. For example, the Golden Continent is full of gold, and cities built with gold are obviously impossible. This Golden Continent is naturally the America of later generations. Although there is indeed a lot of gold in the Americas, it has definitely not arrived.
There are golden spots everywhere.
All of this is to attract the attention of Emperor Hongzhi, and to gain points for completing tasks. There is no other way. With points, you can use the golden finger and many other functions, and only then can you make a comeback.
Huang Jinquan looked at Tong Yuan and Lin Shuhong, the three of them nodded lightly to each other, then stood up together, came to Liu Jin's side very respectfully, knelt down in unison, and said: "My teacher is above,
Please bow to me as a student!"
This bow immediately diverted Liu Jin's attention.
"Get up, get up, we are just joking with each other, we can't take it seriously."
Liu Jin quickly helped the three of them up, and the three of them knelt down to worship their master, obviously admitting defeat.
However, Liu Jin didn't want to accept a few disciples who were about the same age as himself, not to mention that he was just relying on some knowledge he had learned in later generations, and compared what he was good at with what they were not good at.
If he were to compete with them on the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry pairs, eight-part essays, etc., Liu Jin would definitely lose miserably, and even make a fool of himself.
"Teacher, the three of us sincerely want to become our disciples, not because we lost a bet."
Huang Jinquan did not stand up, but said very seriously.
"Yes, we are convinced that we have lost. Our teacher indeed knows more than us and is more knowledgeable. We also ask our teacher to accept us as a disciple. We must work hard to study and live up to the name of our teacher."
Lin Shuhong, who likes geography, is completely convinced by Liu Jin. This is the first time he has systematically understood the world he lives in. It is as if he has opened a window or a door. The world outside is full of countless unknown mysteries waiting for him.
Go explore.
He has also talked with many people who claim to be knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. Everyone seems to be mysterious and mysterious, and what they say is also unpredictable. They often talk about secrets that cannot be revealed.
People can't understand what they say, and they can't deeply study the truth behind it. But Liu Jin is different. Liu Jin's words are easy to understand, and he introduces the world simply and clearly.
It is both a globe and a map. Even people who have not read books can understand it and clearly know what the world they live in is like.
Just for this point, Lin Shuhong admired Liu Jin very much, and even felt as if he had met Liu Jin too late. He was determined to worship Liu Jin as his teacher and learn more knowledge.
As for Tong Yuan, the same is true. Now he doesn't just want to become a disciple after losing a bet, but he wants to become Liu Jin's disciple from the bottom of his heart.
