365、To live to the death, the size of the cycle(1/2)
"First of all, there must be a developed astronomical calendar to guide agriculture."
"Tycho, the father of astronomy that the Siro people later praised, was actually a flaw in the time of its appearance. Complete astronomy appeared in the 16th century, and before that, there was no ability to guide agricultural production."
"If anyone here understands the current calendar of the Silu people, they should understand that the Silu people's calendar error has been ten days."
"what does that mean?"
"It means that planting according to the calendar will be extremely dismal!"
"Where the land is barren and the calendar is messy, how can agriculture be developed? Without sufficiently developed agriculture, how can it pay the institutional costs of the court? How can it support manual technicians? How can it support scholars?"
"From the three generations, the earliest knowledge has been only spread in the hands of feudal aristocrats. In the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought began to spread among the schools."
"Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been families of aristocratic families, and those poor families who have achieved success in decline, still maintain their cultural heritage."
"What is more important than the evolution of the system and the change of classes until the Sui and Tang Dynasties? It is technology, productivity, and there is more agricultural surplus, which can support more scholars."
"So much so that our Ming Dynasty, now ordinary children can work hard for ten years to seek fame and fame!"
"People who have passed the exam for fame are always just a few compared to the vast reading group! Not everyone is an official! Those who have participated in all industries in society after reading and literacy are the source of technological progress!"
“This is cultural surplus!”
"The whole society is a building, and agriculture is its foundation. Without developed agriculture, nothing can be discussed. The development of science and technology and industry, in addition to the development of agriculture, also requires...unification and centralization."
"Only by unification can we ensure a vast territory, a large population, and smooth transportation, so that we can communicate with each other and trade will flourish."
"Only commerce can prosperity lead to capital concentration."
"But there is a more efficient way to concentrate capital generated by commerce, that is, centralization."
"In just over ten years of the Qin Dynasty, the Great Wall, Chidao, Lingqu, Afang Palace, and Qin Shihuang Mausoleum were built. So many large-scale projects directly drove upstream and downstream industries, causing technological explosions. This is the capital density brought by centralization!"
"The demise of the Qin Dynasty was not just because of the death of the First Emperor, but because of this kind of capital intensiveness!"
"Of course, it does not concentrate the capital of the people, but the capital of the rich. So, once Qin Shihuang dies, there will be Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising. Although it is the Chen She family, the uprising of the aristocratic families, not the uprising of the peasants, the result is the same."
"They overthrew Daqin and 'average' capital."
"I took back their capital from Qin Shihuang, and then transformed into a family of the Han Dynasty."
“They started to continue to develop science and industry.”
"But this time it's different. Qin Shihuang took away the capital of the rich, but they are different. They took away the capital of the common people. Not only did they take away the land annexation, but it also led to industrial development and industrial development promoted capital density."
"Under such a cycle, urban and rural capital began to be extremely asymmetric."
"Money is not wealth, but currency is the quantifiable power of this society. Although the centralization since Qin has led to unquantifiable wealth as the main part, the quantifiable part is enough to control the society."
“For people.”
"Food is a necessity, and its value cannot be low. However, compared with grain, which one is not higher than that of grain, a piece of porcelain, a hairpin, a piece of clothing, a bag of tea, a bottle of soy sauce, pots, pans, boats, horses, carriages, which one is not higher than that of grain?"
"In life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all aspects, with the development of technology and industry, the most important food, the price is getting lower and lower."
"So that even though food is the most important, the poorest farmer is the one who farms."
"Since ancient times, how much is it worth in a farming family that can strengthen labor farming in a year? It is not worth it, and even the main income of a family is earned by women's textiles."
"But can you simply calculate the financial accounts?"
"Did the head of the family become a woman?"
“None are not.”
"Because the poorer you are, the more you understand that food is the most important thing, and eating a full stomach is the basis of everything!"
"Grain has its own price, but as the capital in cities continues to grow and industry continues to develop, a large amount of capital is earned by industry."
"The products of the entire society are constantly serving the industry."
"Businessmen who make money with the help of industry obviously won't stop there. They will make more money, then invest in more industries, and then continue to make money."
"And under such a huge 'power distribution'."
"The more farmers produce, the more they are exploited. Thousands of words gather into one word... The grain is cheap and hurt farmers."
"They can use technology and industry to exploit it without bloodshed."
"When farmers cannot do it without hard work, because once they cannot keep up with the pace, their lives cannot continue, and they are forced to ow debts and sell their land, they can only go bankrupt, sell their children and women, and sell themselves as slaves."
"Obviously, the merchants won't be able to stop."
"The quantifiable power through currency, whether it is merchants, local gentry, or court officials, quantifiable and unquantifiable power, are all exploiting and trying to have more power."
"All the price is transferred to the land and to the farmers."
"Until... the days cannot go on."
"This is also why, since the Qin Dynasty, the peasant uprising has never ceased since the unified dynasty!"
"You want to increase capital and develop industry, and then continue to increase capital and density."
"When farmers are getting poorer and poorer until they can't live and become refugees. When there are more and more refugees, they must find a way out. They will first sell cheap labor to pray for a living."
"But when the supply of labor is in short supply, even selling yourself as a slave is a luxury."
"When you don't have food, you will also understand how valuable the food is."
"It is obvious that the rich people enjoy this state very much, so they will not stop, but will become more severe, which has also caused the result of land annexation in all dynasties."
"At this time, the point is coming."
"We in China have had the concept of the world since ancient times."
"The vast majority of intellectuals are vested interests, but there is always a part, not vested interests, but also a part of the best ones who don't care about interests, but the people in the world."
"Then, it's very simple."
"The combination of intellectuals and refugees is the beginning of the dynasty."
"And what is the first thing to do when changing dynasties?"
"Equalize the fields and don't have any taxes! Rest and recuperate!"
"The essence of the change of dynasties is the average of capital, which averages the most important capital 'land', which directly interrupts the process of capital density. Coupled with the destruction of war, the renewal of old interest groups."
"Industrialization was substantially interrupted during the process of changing dynasties."
"But, is it definitely not good to interrupt?"
“Not.”
"As far as industrialization is concerned, there is another thing, technology, technology, and technology will be stored in the form of knowledge, so every time we experience a big war and are poor and lonely, we only need twenty or thirty years to return to the prosperous era."
"The Zhenguan rule is a fact, the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty is a fact, and the prosperity of Hongwu and Yongle in the Ming Dynasty is also a fact."
"Every dynasty is a metabolic cycle."
"New technologies replace old technologies and constantly introduce new things."
"This is also why, your Mohist school has a more systematic knowledge system, education system, and scientific research system, but was overtaken by the Ming Dynasty in the prosperous era of Yongle."
"Because you lack capital, especially the state capital under centralization."
"Of course, you have money."
"But your money cannot be used openly and heavily in the Ming Dynasty, and you are unwilling to invest in this way. This means that you cannot enjoy the power distribution of the entire Ming Dynasty, cannot extract excessive agricultural surplus, and have no industrial foundation."
"So, you can only have knowledge and it is difficult to transform into technology."
"Because you don't have any demand."
"Only by understanding the relationship here can we clearly realize that since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, we have not only created a centralized bureaucratic monarchy, but also carried out industrialization for two thousand years in the form of metabolic cycles!"
"And we have not polluted the environment and changed the lifestyle of humans and nature living in harmony."
"And the way you are going is not like this."
"If you want radical industrialization, you will first ignore the capital dispersion of the rich class and concentrate them all together, and then increase capital density in a centralized way, so that the industry can develop unprecedentedly and begin to undergo extreme industrialization."
"Even if you use powerful administrative means to maintain urban-rural balance, reduce the costs borne by rural areas, and prevent farmers from going bankrupt."
“Not to mention the price of eventually moving to the environment.”
"Just talk about the first problem you are going to face... industrialization slows down."
"Yes, if you maintain the gap between the rich and the poor and stop capital density, industrialization will slow down or even stagnate. This cannot be solved by regulation, nor can it be fixed at a fixed growth rate, which can be developed slowly."
"You will find that all walks of life and all walks of life are calling for a shortage of money."
“Everywhere is needed capital.”
"And you have no capital. At this time, if you do not transfer the price to the countryside and seize capital, you can only do one thing - issuing bonds."
"Financial was born at this time."
"Borrowing future money to invest in industrial enterprises may be worried that it will be a poison to quench thirst, but the rapid development of industry will make you happy, but... what is the price?"
"Yes."
"When the cost is not transferred internally, or when the internal cannot bear sufficient cost, the cost must be transferred externally."
"What are you going to do at that time?"
To be continued...
