Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 68 is released on Children’s Day
This book will be on the shelves on June [-]st.

The grades aren’t great, but they’re pretty good, and the proportion of people pursuing them is pretty good. I should be able to make a little money, so I definitely won’t cut it. After it’s put on the shelves, there should be no problem with six or seven thousand updates every day, and the chapters will be It will become longer, and it will be more popular on the day it is released, but I don’t know how much it will be. After all, I don’t have much manuscripts for this book, so I just write as much as I can.

I am very grateful to every friend who has followed the reading. I am very grateful, because there are very few people writing about this period of history in the early Song Dynasty, and there are also very few people who are interested. To put it bluntly, this is not a mainstream article, it can be regarded as a niche article. There is no other way, so the effect of smart recommendations is not very good. Sometimes I even wonder if I am the only one writing about this era, haha.

Niche texts need more care from everyone. I hope everyone can read the genuine ones. To be honest, for those popular works, if there are many readers, a small number of people can make money by reading the genuine ones. Only those who read niche texts will Less, every subscription counts, please.I heard people say that the subscription rate of those niche readers who like to read Red Mansion articles is very high.

Thank you readers and dads, the author also has to support his family, woo woo woo.

Finally, let’s talk about history. To be honest, when I wrote this book, my editor didn’t approve of it. He said that this kind of writing should be set in the prosperous age, and there must be good emperors, such as Li Er and Zhu Fourth, the Song Dynasty is garbage. If you write about it, you are seeking death. No one will read it.

I am really speechless. There are only other emperors of the Song Dynasty. Song Taizu, in the eyes of the ancients, Tang Zong and Song Zu have always been mentioned together. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, these two people have always been models of emperors. How did they get there? In the eyes of modern people, even Zhao Kuangyin is not considered a wise king?Zhao Kuangyin can hardly find any faults, whether internally or externally. My editor said that he knows, but the current atmosphere among readers is that Zhao Kuangyin's evaluation is lower than that of Cao Cao. This book will definitely be replaced by Li Er and Zhu Si. The results will be better, especially for Zhu Si, the results will definitely be better.

This time I didn’t listen to the editor and still wrote and sent it because I really wanted to write it. To be honest, among all the historical dynasties, the Song Dynasty is the one I regret the most, especially the early Song Dynasty because of the social progress of the Song Dynasty. It is indeed the best in all dynasties, and the germination of capitalism is also the most promising since the Song Dynasty. No matter from the political, economic, cultural, or humanistic perspective, the Song Dynasty is definitely the pinnacle of the feudal dynasty, but its military is really rubbish. .

In the later Ming and Qing Dynasties, in order to maintain the country's dominance, society actually degenerated from a civil society to a landlord economy. From the perspective of productivity, it was definitely a degradation, and the taxation and economic policies of the Ming and Qing dynasties... were actually It’s hard to describe in words. Every time I think about this, I feel a little pity. I don’t even know what the economic policies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were. A group of Hanlin prime ministers don’t understand anything else.

By the way, there are two biggest rumors about the Song Dynasty. One is that the Song Dynasty’s GDP accounted for 80% of the world’s GDP. This is too ridiculous. However, it is certain that the people in the Song Dynasty were prosperous. According to my personal purchasing power conversion results, people’s living standards should be the closest to modern times. It is close, roughly equivalent to the level at which an ordinary person can earn 2000 yuan a month under current prices. However, there is a big disadvantage: the per capita housing area is the lowest in history, urban housing prices remain high, and the living environment of the vast majority of ordinary people is similar to that of today. Hong Kong Island.

The second marketing account rumored that the Song Dynasty had the most peasant uprisings in all dynasties. This is also the most important basis used by many friends to deny the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty. However, this is completely nonsense, not to mention how many of these rebellions were for the sake of recruiting peace. Four hundred rebellions is not a large number in itself. The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all far exceeded this number. The reason why there were more rebellions in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties is because papermaking and printing advanced and developed after the Song Dynasty, and a lot of historical materials have been left. Moreover, there was a record-keeping system after the mid-Tang Dynasty, which meant that records should be kept of all major events.

So the further back, the richer the historical data, the more things are recorded, and the more the number of rebellions, so this number really doesn't mean anything. If you calculate it this way, the people's livelihood of the Qin Dynasty is actually the best, because There was only one peasant uprising recorded in the Qin Dynasty, but before Qin it was zero.

In short, let's be a little willful. I hope all readers and fathers will support the genuine version and help me support my family. Thank you.
