Looking at Jiang Xinghuo's eyes, Zhu Gaoxu scratched his beard and replied: "A dynasty, one family and one surname governs the world. They control the people and fool them."

"That's right, and that's not right either." Jiang Xinghuo smiled.

Hearing this, Zhu Di next door turned and asked: "Master, what do the history books say about the dynasty?"

Dao Yan's knowledge is mixed and comprehensive, and he tells the reasons for the allusions like a humanoid library.

"Literally speaking, dynasty means that the emperor views the dynasty. "Zhou Li·Di Guan·Shi Shi" records: Si Dynasty lives on the left side of Humen. Zheng Xuan, a great scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, noted: The king inspected the dynasty outside his bedroom on the road.

I will look at the court, and if there is a good way that can be done, I will issue an edict to the king."

Dao Yan looked at the wall and said, "Of course, that's not what Jiang Xinghuo wants to say."

Zhu Di nodded, that was indeed the case.

Based on his current understanding of Jiang Xinghuo, what a great talent like Jiang Xinghuo wants to talk about must not only be literal, but must be some more subtle and profound mysteries.

Jiang Xinghuo spoke slowly: "The so-called dynasty, the earliest record in history books is the Xia Dynasty. After Dayu controlled the floods, he passed the throne to his son Qi. From then on for thousands of years, most of the time, the power of the dynasty was passed down from father to son, that is,

The so-called 'family world'."

After telling this paragraph, Jiang Xinghuo asked a question: "So, why before Xia, there were no dynasties, only tribal leaders from ancient times?"

I helped the old man bring down this world with one knife and one shot. I should inherit the throne. Why not let me inherit?

Anyone who does not allow me to inherit the throne is my enemy. Zhu Gaoxu has only one way to deal with his enemies, which is to hack him to death.

Jiang Xinghuo seems to have a magical power.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, who were separated by a wall, fell silent.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the folding fan given to him by Zhu Gaoxu with a "pop" sound, leaned against the tree trunk and fanned himself.

"The 'nature of dynasty' discussed next can truly answer the question raised before."

After Jiang Xinghuo nodded slightly and praised the students, he continued: "After the Battle of Zhuolu, as time went by, the original tribal alliance could not adapt to the development of productivity and began to organize into a more complex social structure. As a result, the dynasty emerged.

.”

Hearing this, Daoyan couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Or in other words, who sees his father become the emperor and is willing to go home and farm instead of becoming the emperor himself?"

From the bottom of my heart, I thought that Daoyan, who prided himself on being knowledgeable about Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, would not bow to anyone in terms of intelligence and talent.

When Jiang Xinghuo asked the question, he didn't expect any answers at all. It was just a habit left over from his previous job as a teacher.

The Battle of Zhuolu was actually caused by the advancement of planting technology?

If Jiang Xinghuo's previous plans for cutting down the vassal clan and other matters only made Dao Yan think that he was slightly inferior in a specific plan, but he was completely crushed in other aspects.

Zhu Di was not willing to pass the throne to anyone who had no blood relationship, not to mention passing it to a blood brother or nephew.

On the other side of the wall, Jiang Xinghuo's lecture continued: "The rentier class, that is, the nobility, the army, wizards, etc., these people are the first time that society has separated large-scale people who are not directly engaged in food production and collection.

Classes are also classes that inevitably arise as a result of the division of labor in society. Some are responsible for ruling, some are responsible for defending, and some are responsible for belief. This is how the original dynasty was formed."

I worked so hard to fight against Emperor Jianwen's millions of Confederate troops in the northern parallel capital, and narrowly escaped death before ascending to the throne. Why should I pass it on to "outsiders"?

Dao Yan clasped his hands and laughed, but remained silent. He was probably thinking of the just-concluded battle for the throne.

Hearing this, several people inside and outside the wall all became serious in unison.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. It is the development of the 'productivity' I just mentioned."

"Of course, the dynasty did not start with the inheritance system of brother to brother and son to father after death. Before the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the ancestors also tried the abdication system."

As for Zhu Gaoxu's psychology outside the wall, it is even simpler.

Zhu Di thought of the first time he listened to Jiang Xinghuo's lecture. It seemed that he had gone from sitting casually with disdain to being attracted by the words to sitting upright.

Zhu Di shook his head and laughed, saying: "Of course I don't want to."

On this side of the wall, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Mr. Jiang, I seem to understand that it is inevitable to move from a tribal alliance to a dynasty."

So many people died and so much blood was shed. In the final analysis, doesn’t it just come down to four words?

——Striving to be the emperor.

Dao Yan's sitting posture began to change from casual to relaxed, and unconsciously became a little straighter.

"In ancient times, the population on the land of China was not that large. The tribes were relatively independent and had their own land without interfering with each other. With the development of agricultural planting technology, the population began to increase dramatically. Pay attention to this. I will also talk about agriculture in the future.

Every advancement in planting technology will have a direct impact on social form."

After thinking for a short time, Zhu Gaoxu obviously did not immediately come up with an answer to this question that he had never thought about before.

This is Daoyan's pride, and it has never been broken for decades.

"Then I would like to ask Mr. Jiang, since the tribal alliance formed a dynasty, why was the first dynasty established by Yu, who had great achievements in controlling floods, and not by Huang Di, who won the Battle of Zhuolu?"

So the current sentence "Productivity is the ability to grow food" made Daoyan truly, for the first time, regard Jiang Xinghuo as a resourceful person who could be compared with himself.

Even if the other party is a contemporary genius, a literary master, or a great Confucian, he will not be taken seriously by Dao Yan.

Afraid that the other party would not understand, Jiang Xinghuo further explained: "You can temporarily understand 'productivity' as 'the ability to grow food' because during the period before and after the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the productivity level at that time reached a level that could

A level that supports a large number of rentier classes who do not engage in production.”

Daoyan, who came to the secret room for the first time to eavesdrop, found this one-way and transparent interaction very interesting. He smiled and asked: "Is your Majesty willing?"

"As for why the inheritance system replaced the abdication system, and the family world of later dynasties was formed from inheritance, it is easier to understand. Who, sitting in the position of emperor, would be willing to think that his son would not inherit the throne and go home to farm?

?”

There is no other reason. Only a wise man who has reached the level of Dao Yan can realize how subtle it is!

"Surely no one is willing." Zhu Gaoxu replied directly.

"This is what I'm talking about, 'What is a dynasty?'"

"So the inheritance dynasty came into being."

Small words mean great things!

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile when he saw the change in Dao Yan's sitting posture.

Dao Yan murmured to himself: "Productivity, temporarily understood as 'the ability to grow food'?"

"Yes, you are very smart."

However, Jiang Xinghuo's simple words today made Daoyan have a little doubt about himself.

"Let's go on to say that after the population exploded, each tribe began to open up more land in order to support the growing population. As the land was opened up, tribes began to come into contact with each other's territories, and finally joined forces driven by interests.

It became a tribal alliance with different positions, which led to the 'Battle of Zhuolu' between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You."

Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his rough hands in excitement and waited for Jiang Xinghuo to explain.

Zhu Gaojiu's excitement was justified, because ever since he said that the excerpt was written by himself and was fully adopted by his father at the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, his third brother Zhu Gaosui was severely shocked and looked at his

His eyes were full of admiration.

This kind of shock is like being the last one in the class and suddenly discovering that the second last person who was fooling around with me suddenly came out on top in this exam.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu was looking forward to learning something new and shocking his ignorant third brother.
