In the underground palace.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, also pricked up his ears.
Back then, he had arranged for the great scholar Chunyu Yue to be the teacher of the eldest son of the empire, Fu Su, because the situation was greater than reality.
To put it bluntly.
It was because Ying Zheng felt that the Confucianists had too great an influence in the Central Plains.
If the future Ying Emperor wanted to rule the Central Plains with the prefecture system, he would have to turn Confucianism into his own!
Confucianism on the outside and Legalism on the inside!
It was a national policy that Ying Zheng had personally decided!
Unfortunately…
In history, Shi Huang had overlooked one point, and that was that the Confucians were really too good at fooling people. In order to restart the enfeoffment system, they did not hesitate to fool the eldest son of the empire, Fu Su.
And the reason why the Confucians were so against the prefecture and county system.
The prefecture and county system was the cornerstone of Legalism.
This was something that some of the older generations of the scholarly faction found hard to accept.
Fortunately, the current Eldest Young Master Fu Su had met Yin Shang. Yin Shang would slowly remove all the crooked ideas instilled by the Confucians from Fu Su's mind!
……
In front of the bamboo house.
Yin Shang came to the rattan chair and lay down." The essential law of the evolution of the system can be summarized in five words. That is the increase in productivity!"”
Hearing this, Fu Su's face was filled with confusion.
Obviously, Yin Shang's advice this time had exceeded his understanding of the world.
This included the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, the High Minister Meng Yi, and the Commander of the Central Carriage Mansion, Zhao Gao.
They had never linked the evolution of the system to the increase in productivity.
However, Ying Zheng thought about it carefully and realized that Yin Shang was right.
Food was the most important thing for the people!
The so-called Heavenly Dao, righteousness, and the people's hearts were simply two words: Food!
If the common people could not eat, regardless of whether it was the enfeoffment system or the county system, they would all be overturned!
The people can carry a boat, but they can also capsize it.
Since ancient times…
"Let's go back to the ancient times.”
Since Yin Shang was talking about the fundamental law of the system, it was impossible for him to only mention the 800-year-old Zhou Dynasty.
He wanted to explain the origin of the human system and teach it to the world through this little scholar.
This was to prevent the Confucians from spreading false reasoning and bewitching the knowledge of the scholars of the Nine Provinces.
"In the beginning, we humans didn't know how to grow corn. We relied on hunting for survival to allow our race to reproduce and continue.”
"It is at this stage that humans need to capture, hunt, and collect resources like beasts!”
" And every winter, the resources collected are not enough to feed the entire tribe. The disabled and the elderly will starve to death first, followed by the children…All resources must first ensure the survival of the young and middle-aged. Only in this way can we continue hunting and collecting resources in the coming year to ensure the continuation of the tribe.”
……
In ancient times, the upper limit of resources collected determined the upper limit of a race's development.
Just like the land in the future, there was also an upper limit to how much it could bear.
This was the increase in productivity at the bottom level of logic. It first determined the fate of an entire race, and in the future, it also determined the operation and maintenance of all systems!
Fu Su thought for a moment and said,"I understand." It was precisely because in ancient times, humans needed to hunt to make a living that the tribal migration system appeared.”
"Smart."
Yin Shang felt that this little scholar in front of him had some knowledge and intelligence.
As expected of the good seedling he had taken a fancy to.
If she was too stupid, he really wouldn't have spent time to give her advice.
" Later, Emperor Yan appeared."
" Emperor Yan's greatest contribution to the people of Huaxia is that he has increased productivity and changed the production relations of the human race," Yin Shang said after a pause.”
"Emperor Yan invented the farming tool, the plough-axe, to plant grains, establishing the foundation of agriculture and agriculture, and also creating the bow and arrow!”
"At the same time, Emperor Yan opened up the market and made hemp into cloth, five-stringed zither, pottery, and so on. He taught them to the people!”
"From then on, our human race went from collecting resources to producing resources!”
……
From harvesting to production, this was a leap forward!
It allowed humans to draw a clear line between themselves and the wild beasts.
At the same time, civilization began to form.
Yin Shang organized his words and said slowly,""When we humans can produce our own resources, we no longer need to migrate according to the weather. Only then can we settle down and gradually have the concept of cities and countries!”
"The Xia Dynasty was established and began to continuously improve the corresponding system. For example, from the abdication system, it slowly transitioned to the hereditary system.”
"During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, corn cultivation rapidly spread, and the well-field system began to appear. Only then did the enfeoffment system appear, as well as the various classes of princes, officials, nobles, commoners, slaves, and so on!”
……
Yin Shang believed that the abdication system would appear in ancient times.
It was because the responsibility of a tribal leader was greater than the power in his hands.
After the country, city-state, and social class appeared.
The leader of the tribe became the monarch.
Without a doubt.
The power of a monarch was bound to far exceed the responsibilities he had to bear.
In this way.
The abdication system was destined to be replaced by the hereditary system!
