Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "Because of population?"
Qin Xu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, population, after two or three hundred dynasties, with the long period of peace, the population will explode. If we don't open up, the problem of overpopulation will not be solved at all."
Hearing this, Qin Wei asked unconvinced: "Can it be solved by opening up? Even if we open up a county, it is impossible for the entire dynasty to accommodate many people."
Qin Xu looked at Qin Wei with admiration and said: "Xiaowei, you really hit the point. Then tell me, if that's the case, why does the dynasty still insist on the development plan?"
Qin Wei didn't expect that what he blurted out was actually correct and he was praised by his uncle.
Qin Wei scratched his head and chuckled twice. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. He simply spread his hands and said directly: "I can't figure it out."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Qin Xu's eyes, and he turned around helplessly and asked Qin Yi: "Xiao Yi, do you know?"
Qin Yi said in a serious tone: "It should be to... consume the population."
Qin Xu first nodded appreciatively, and then said in the same serious tone: "Yes, it is for this reason that foreign expansion is very dangerous. In any expansion, millions of people will die, and whether these people are soldiers
, or the corvee conscription, they are all young and middle-aged people, their death can greatly alleviate the growing population problem."
After hearing this, Qin Wei understood what he was saying, and he cursed angrily: "It's so abominable, how could you do such a thing? What do the people in the court do for a living, and how dare you implement such a plan?
They all deserve to die!"
"Then do you have a better way?" Qin Xu asked.
Qin Wei's words stopped abruptly, but he still twisted his neck and said: "Anyway, this is wrong, you can't do this!"
Qin Xu shook his head and said: "Who can stand in the court, who is a fool, who is willing to do this? It's just that there is no better way. If you don't do this, the consequences will be more serious, which is unprecedented in history
There are lessons learned from the past.”
Qin Yi asked in a serious tone: "If the contradiction between population and land is not resolved, will there be a change of dynasty?"
In his previous life, as a liberal arts student who had just taken the college entrance examination and had good history scores, Qin Yi remembered the reasons for the change of dynasties very clearly.
Qin Xu glanced at Qin Yi in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Xiao Yi, why do you have such a strange idea? How can the people without power decide the replacement of the dynasty?"
Only then did Qin Yi come back to his senses.
What's worse, he made the error of empiricism again and used the knowledge of past lives as the basis for judging this life.
This is no longer the world without extraordinary power in the previous life.
There are warriors in this world.
The royal family and aristocratic families control the inheritance of martial arts. They have the absolute power to suppress everything. How could their rule be overthrown because of the common people without extraordinary power?
Obviously he had already realized this, and tried his best to abandon the experience of his previous life and start everything from the past. Why did he make this mistake again?
"I'm sorry, sir, I, I was so angry just now that I got sidetracked."
Qin Xu looked at Qin Yi who was behaving at a loss and shook his head and smiled: "It's rare that Xiao Yi still gets the wrong answer sometimes."
Qin Wei sat aside and laughed, patting Qin Yi's shoulder and comforting him in a senior tone: "Xiao Yi, you don't have to worry, even if you get the answer wrong, we won't laugh at you, haha..."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes at Qin Wei.
It seems that the person here who is least qualified to say this is him.
"Sir, what is the real reason for the change of dynasties? Why are there so few dynasties in history books that last more than three hundred years?"
If it were not a matter of population, then why would dynasties of all dynasties change every three hundred years or so?
Qin Yi was very confused about this.
Qin Xu hesitated for a moment, but still did not answer directly, and asked: "Xiaoyi, what do you think the reason is?"
Qin Yi thought for a while and replied: "There are two types of internal and external causes. In terms of internal causes, there was an irreconcilable conflict between the aristocratic family and the royal family, so civil war broke out and dynasties changed. In terms of external causes, it is written in the almanac,
Every time at the end of the dynasty, the Southern Barbarians, Western Tibet and Beidi would invade the Central Plains... In terms of internal factors, it cannot be so regular. Therefore, I am more inclined to external causes. There may be some natural laws, such as climate, that have to let the Southern Barbarians and Western Tibetan invade.
He and Beidi invaded the Central Plains every three hundred years."
Qin Xu glanced at Qin Yi in surprise, then thought of something, pointed at Qin Yi, laughed and said: "Xiao Yi, do you still remember what you said to Xiao Wei before? Jinxin Shu
It's better to have no books! How come you have made the same mistake yourself? You actually believe in history books so much? Haha...ahem..."
"Sir (uncle), are you okay?"
Qin Xu covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed a few times, regained his breath, shook his head and said, "It's an old problem, it's okay."
Then Qin Xu continued: "No matter the internal or external causes, it is wrong. Although the records in the history books are as true as possible, they are not complete. There are many things that cannot be made public. However, Xiao
Next, your idea of finding the answer from history books is correct. Keep up the good work."
"True, but incomplete?" After hearing this, Qin Yi murmured to himself, and said thoughtfully: "True, it shows that the history books record the events in the last years of the dynasty when aristocratic families fought for hegemony over the world and foreign tribes invaded the Central Plains.
It really happened.”
"It really happened, but it was not the 'cause' of the dynasty change. It could only be the 'effect'. It was the imperial court that 'collapsed' first, and then there were aristocratic families fighting for hegemony and foreign invasions."
"'Incomplete', that is to say, there are deeper things that cannot be disclosed to the world and are not recorded in the history books? Could it be that..."
Qin Yi suddenly thought of something, stared into Qin Xu's eyes excitedly, and asked: "The real reason is what the young master told Zhou Boyuan before, the truth of the world, the higher-level battlefield?"
Qin Xu glanced at Qin Yi in surprise. He didn't expect that he just said it casually, but Qin Yi took it to heart.
Qin Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Now that you have entered the realm of transformation and begun to understand the way of swordsmanship, Xiaowei is about to achieve acquired perfection and will soon be innate. There are some things that I can let you know."
Qin Xu raised his head, glanced at Qin Yi and Qin Wei, and said with a serious face: "From the Qin Dynasty to the previous dynasty, there has been only one reason for the change of dynasties for thousands of years, and that is...
