[In addition to the above-mentioned natural black soil plains, the strength of non-black soil plains is also good. ]

[For example, my country's North China Plain. ]

[The North China Plain covers an area of ​​310,000 square kilometers, second only to the Northeast Plain, ranking ninth in the world. At the same time, its grain output is also comparable to that of the Northeast Plain, with a grain output of about 151 million tons in 2020. ]

[Unlike the Northeast Plain, the temperature conditions in the North China Plain are much better, and it can achieve two crops a year or three crops in two years. ]

[The rain and heat conditions are also good, and wheat, corn and other crops are mainly planted. The provinces on the North China Plain are also major grain-producing provinces in my country. ]

……

The ancients of all dynasties are not unfamiliar with the North China Plain.

In ancient China, it was also an important grain-producing area.

So, seeing these introductions to the North China Plain on the giant screen at this time, the ancients seemed relatively calm.

……

[The Ganges Plain in South Asia is the grain production base of India. ]

[The Ganges Plain is formed by the alluvial deposits of the Ganges River system, with an area of ​​about 516,000 square kilometers, accounting for about one-third of India's grain production, thanks to good light and heat conditions and irrigation support from the Ganges. ]

[The Indus Plain next to it is mainly located in Pakistan, with an area of ​​266,000 square kilometers, relying on the water source of the Indus River for irrigation. ]

[Although the climate is mainly tropical desert, the abundant river water has enabled the grain production to exceed 40 million tons, feeding more than 200 million people in the country. For Pakistan, the contribution of the Indus Plain is crucial. ]

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the map on the giant screen in the sky and revised his plan in his mind.

The Ganges Plain in India is a treasure land for growing grain, which he had learned in the previous video.

He was determined to get this place.

Now that he knew there was another Indus Plain next to the Ganges Plain that was suitable for farming, he naturally couldn't let it go.

He decided to take it down when the Tang Dynasty sent troops in the future.

……

[Although the Turan Plain in Central Asia is huge, due to extreme drought and high temperature conditions, agricultural output is limited, and it mainly relies on water from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya for irrigation. ]

[But the amount of water is not large, and the two together are less than half of the Indus River. ]

[The lack of water has caused the agricultural output of the Turan Plain to remain low, and the population carrying capacity is also limited. To this day, the total population of the five Central Asian countries is only 73 million, less than 0.9 one-third of Pakistan. ]

……

A plain that cannot be used for farming is not a good plain.

Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties were not very interested in this Turan Plain.

……

[There is no doubt that it is a blessing to be able to get the "Chosen Plain" and win at the starting line. ]

[Therefore, for these fertileGreat plains should be cherished. 】

……

After a brief conclusion.

The video playback ends.

……

On the giant screen in the sky.

The video refreshes.

A new video appears.

[The truth of the massacre in today's world: "Rogue Army" versus "Conservative Group"! 】

……

Seeing the title of this new video, many ancient people who have been staring at the giant screen in the sky are a little confused.

What is the "Rogue Army"?

What is the "Conservative Group"?

It's foggy.

They don't quite understand.

……

[Winter is coming. Every time at this time, there will be a kind of hunger and cold hardship and negativity. 】

[The Asian high pressure originating from Siberia gives people a sense of urgency of a large army and chaos in terms of both climate and humanities. 】

【From the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to the Middle East conflict, and to other seemingly peaceful continental regions, there are turbulent things surging in the open and in the dark. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che's eyes were full of contemplation.

Although this passage is relatively obscure, combined with the title and some content seen in the previous video, he vaguely had some guesses in his mind.

It seems that the world situation in the future is not peaceful, and the conflicts between different countries and forces are intensifying.

Behind the regional conflicts, there are undercurrents.

"But what does this rogue army and conservative group mean?"

"Could it be that different countries and forces are divided into these two sides? Similar to the military alliances of World War I and World War II?"

"But this name is a bit too strange."

"And judging from the previous videos, the international situation in the future should not be so tense."

"What is the situation?"

Liu Che stared at the huge screen in the sky while thinking.

...

[Cold is never a good thing for the poor. ]

[For five thousand years of history, the highest pursuit of the lower class is a line of food and clothing. ]

[The scholar of the Yuan Dynasty still summed it up well: when the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer. ]

...

Hearing the words "when the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer", many civilians in all dynasties deeply agree.

In ancient Chinese dynasties, they always suffered the most.

……

[Because the prosperous and flourishing times in history have little to do with ordinary people. ]

[Chao Cuo, who experienced the prosperous reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, wrote in "On the Value of Grain":

"Nowadays, in a farmer's family of five, there are no less than two people serving, and they can cultivate no more than 100 mu, and the harvest of 100 mu is no more than 100 dan.

Spring plowing, summer weeding, autumn harvesting, winter storage, cutting firewood, managing government offices, and doing corvée; in spring, they cannot avoid the wind and dust, in summer, they cannot avoid the heat, in autumn, they cannot avoid the rain, and in winter, they cannot avoid the cold. In the four seasons, they rest on the dead day. They also privately send off and welcome, hang and askDisease, raising orphans and the elderly and young.

Even with such hard work, they were still hit by floods and droughts, urgent and tyrannical policies, irregular taxes, and orders that changed from morning to night. Those who had them sold them at half the price, and those who had nothing had to pay double the interest; so some sold their land and houses, and sold their children to pay off their debts. ”】

【This is the scene of a well-governed era recognized by all dynasties.】

【Poor people work hard for a year, but still have to go hungry, and may even have to sell their children to pay off their debts.】

Barrage flew out:

“To put it bluntly, the prosperity of the feudal dynasty was the prosperity of the ruling group, not the prosperity of the people.”

“With the productivity level in ancient times, it was considered a prosperous era if there was no large-scale starvation of the people.”

“Reply - Before the Industrial Revolution, the productivity level was too low, and being able to avoid starvation was already a remarkable achievement. ”

“Reply - Yes, not only China, but also other places at the same time.”

“…”

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the discussions on the giant screen and said to Zhu Biao:

“Boss, we must insist on starting the industrial revolution.”

“If we can’t do it, you can continue to do it!”

“Got it, Dad, don’t worry, I understand. ”

Zhu Biao replied solemnly.

Only by launching the industrial revolution and fundamentally improving the productivity level of the Ming Dynasty can a true prosperous era be created.

He has already had a very clear understanding of this truth through various previous videos.

[Not to mention the chaotic times, people exchanged their children for food, starved to death, and suffered disasters.]

[And the era of having enough food has only been a few decades away.]

[In ancient times, if ordinary people wanted to survive, it was best to become vested interests, that is, the bureaucracy.]

[Because only the literati had the privilege of being exempt from taxes and corvée.]

[Ordinary people could easily be torn apart by these two items.]

[The bureaucracy completed the primitive accumulation of capital with its privileges, and then engaged in large-scale land annexation.]

[And when When disaster strikes, the government will not only not lighten taxes and levies, but will also intensify them and extort money from the people. 】

……

See here.

Many people in the past dynasties have been filled with anger.

They feel it is unfair!

According to later generations, this is the exploitation of them by the landlord bureaucracy!

And why should they endure this exploitation?

People in later generations have said that all people are born equal! Workers are never lowly!

Without the need for kings and generals, workers can also build a new world with their own strength.

Of course.

These are all thoughts hidden deep in their hearts.

There is still a distance from the actual behavior of real resistance.

But in any case, the various struggle ideas spread on the high-altitude giant screen have given dynastiesMany ordinary people have planted the seeds of resistance and struggle.

Perhaps one day, these seeds will be ignited and turned into a raging anger against the powerful. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

……

[Of course, the game can't be played like this all the time, otherwise it will collapse. ]

[When the common people can't stand the oppression, they either hide in the mountains or choose to rise up. ]

[So. ]

[When we look back at world history, we find that two orders are alternating and fighting. ][]

……

"The struggle between the poor people and the landlord bureaucracy?"

Some smart ancients in the past dynasties had this idea in their minds.

……

[One is the order constructed by conservatives. 】

[They are usually vested interests, including hereditary princes, generals, wealthy merchants, senior monks, soldiers and intellectuals. 】

[Some people may ask: How can intellectuals also be conservatives? 】

[The answer is very simple. 】

[As long as you understand the division of labor in this order, you will understand. 】

[The princes, generals and ministers based on imperial power are responsible for the power structure, wealthy merchants are their white gloves for making money, and senior monks create religious beliefs to make the people content with the status quo, not resist, and strive for a good rebirth in the next life. 】

[What about intellectuals? Of course, they are engaged in ideological education, but they mainly educate the people to abide by the monarch-minister, father-son, etc., and tell everyone to submit to the existing order and not have other ideas. 】

……

“Is that so?”

Many ordinary people in all dynasties felt that they understood it.

According to their simple understanding, these groups are working together to bully and deceive ordinary people like them.

"Too much!"

Many ordinary people are even more angry.

On the other hand.

People in these groups throughout the dynasties are a little confused.

Many of them are puzzled by the new identity of "conservatives" given to them by later generations.

And they feel that they are not in the same group as others.

……

[For example, liberal intellectuals are actually conservatives in nature, hoping that people will not resist the existing neoliberal order. ]

[Representatives of the conservatives, with good reputations include Liu Xiu, Elizabeth I, Li Geng, Li Guanyao, etc. ]

[Those who do not have a bottom line are: Zeng Shaver, Franco, Chiang Kai-shek, Pol Pot and others. ]

[There are also more controversial ones, such as Pi Dashuai and Dong Wang. 】

……

Many ancient people were confused again.

How come this so-called conservative faction includes both ancient people and later generations, both Chinese people and foreigners?

"What does it mean?"

Many ancient people pondered in their hearts.

……

[Another one is**Constructed order. 】

【It should be noted that "rogue" is not a derogatory word, but a neutral word. 】

【In the oracle bone script era, "流" means flow, and "氓" means fleeing peasants, which can be roughly understood as people who have lost their livelihoods and are desperate. 】

【Representatives of this group include the starving people led by Huang Chao in 874, the citizens on the streets of Paris in 1789, the lower-class soldiers on the Eastern Front in 1918, and the people in the Yellow River flood area after the dike was dug at Huayuankou in 1938. 】

【Originally, they were a pile of scattered sand and could not achieve anything. 】

【However, because the upper class had no bottom line and treated people as non-human beings, they had to break through the bottom line and treat the nobles as non-human beings. Under the organization of outstanding leaders, they created large-scale performance art. 】

【For example, trampling the bones of nobles in the streets, and pouring sulfuric acid and gasoline on the corpses. 】

……

When it comes to "the bones of nobles are trampled on the streets of heaven", the ancients of all dynasties will understand.

Even the ancients before the end of the Tang Dynasty have seen this in previous videos.

This is what the peasants are talking about.

……

The Great Tang Taizong plane.

Li Shimin pondered in his heart.

According to his understanding of these words of later generations, the order constructed by the so-called conservatives is similar to the dynasty regime.

But what is the order constructed by the **?

Simply rebellion? Or the establishment of a new regime after the rebellion?

Li Shimin cannot find the answer to these questions for the time being.

……

[So, which of these two orders is better? ]

[This requires specific analysis of specific issues. ]

[The conservative 347 order usually has no major problems in the early stage, but it is riddled with holes in the later stage. 】

[The Zhu family wanted to give all their dogs a title. 】

[Over 200 years, the country could no longer afford to support hundreds of thousands of people. In order to set an example, Li Zicheng cooked Prince Fu alive. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"To put it bluntly, the rentier class is constantly expanding, and the people can no longer be supported even if they are squeezed dry."

"Hundreds of thousands of people? Isn't it millions?"

"..."

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little ugly.

He really didn't expect that people in later generations would suddenly mock him here.

"It's all the fault of that bastard Lao Si!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted in his heart.

He felt that Zhu Di was responsible for the expansion of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

There is nothing wrong with the system he designed. It was all Zhu Di's fault for changing it later.

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di looked calm.

He has decided to change the vassal system. This situation will definitely not happen again.

The world is so big. There are many places for vassal kings to go. It doesn't have to be in China.

……

The Ming Chongzhen plane.

The fat Prince Zhu Changxun trembled.

The intruders would cook him alive, which frightened him.

"Hold it! You must hold it!"

Now he could only pray that Li Zicheng's army could not break into the city.

But...

"The city is broken!"

Listening to the anxious shouts from outside.

Prince Zhu Changxun's face turned pale in an instant.

He was dead!

...

[The proletarian order is mostly just a melee of hooligans. Although they are unwilling to be starving, it is difficult to create a new world with a desperate effort. ]

[Because this will fall into the Hobbes jungle. 】

【This is a natural state envisioned by scientist Thomas Hobbes: no laws, no rules, no conventions, only a cold food chain, complete anarchism. 】

【This will be a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak. 】

【If you understand it in a more vivid way, it is a super-atomized society, such as the battle royale of eating chicken, either kill or be killed. 】

【The Dark Forest Law in "The Three-Body Problem" is even more cruel. It directly breaks through the Hobbes jungle and fights with civilizations as units. If you lose, a civilization will perish directly. 】

【There is no doubt that the proletarian order is very cruel. 】

【Unless you encounter extremely harsh historical opportunities, such as the train guide who took the train from Switzerland back to Tsarist Russia, used advanced ideas to transform ** into a powerful force, and finally established a brand new country in the weakest link of capitalism. 】

【And such experience was later creatively used again. 】

……

"So that's it."

In the dimension of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin now somewhat understood what people in later generations meant by the so-called **order.

In most cases, this kind of order is disorder.

If there is any order, it is the naked order of the survival of the fittest.

And in the two exceptional cases, Li Shimin also knew what they meant. .
