"Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Yuan was very keenly aware of the changes in his wife, so he asked.
This gentle and intimate voice quickly woke up the possessed Yan Jiaoran.
So what about dragon slaying skills?
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female!
Wouldn't it be okay if we just recruit this bastard into the palace?
After all, if he wants to slay the dragon, he will only be slaying himself.
How can he continue to slaughter people like this?
Yan Jiaoran couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.
Figured out this joint.
Yan Jiaoran smiled sweetly, like a flower blooming softly in the night, "Husband, I'm fine."
"I was just shocked by what just happened."
Qin Yuan stroked his wife's smooth back with his fingertips and said softly:
"My lady, please don't get stuck in a dead end!"
"Listen to me again and summarize it from beginning to end, and you will suddenly understand."
"The core of the dynastic cycle is the irreconcilable contradiction between land annexation and population growth."
"In other words, it's a contradiction between people and land."
"When some people are hungry and can't get enough to eat, they will rebel, and that will cause unrest in the country."
"When the country is in turmoil, the dynasty will naturally change."
"It is precisely because of this realization that wise men in every dynasty have been trying to find ways to solve the problem of land annexation and slow down the pace of land annexation in order to prolong the life of the dynasty."
"Thus, a phenomenon emerged: the land systems in the early, middle, and late stages of a dynasty were mostly different, even diametrically opposed!"
"So, my lady, if you want to extend the life of the Great Zhou, what do you think you should do?"
"How can we curb land annexation and alleviate this increasingly intense conflict between people and land over time?"
Qin Yuan originally thought that his wife's thoughts had reached a dead end.
The answer would be: "How does she know so and so?"
Then he looked at himself proudly and forced himself to give the answer.
But I didn't expect it.
His wife actually used her brain to think, which was rare, and answered his question seriously.
Although it is a bit bumpy, the logic is very clear.
"My husband, you've said so much, but the most fundamental issue is actually the population and food production."
"Therefore, to resolve the contradiction between people and land, we must increase food production."
"As long as we can increase food production as much as possible, we can naturally feed more people."
"The conflict between people and land will be alleviated."
"There's plenty of arable land in the world, and there's plenty of abandoned land. If all else fails, we can still farm in the mountains."
"That is to say, there will definitely be no shortage of land."
"It seems that the main reason for the conflict is that people have less food to eat."
Yan Jiaoran occasionally raised her eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of Qin Yuan's expression of approval. She became excited all of a sudden and continued speaking more boldly.
"It's actually very difficult to increase per-acre yield by improving agricultural technology. Few people have ever achieved it since ancient times."
"Therefore, I thought this path would definitely be difficult and impractical."
"But, my husband, you said before that 'production relations' can be improved!"
"That is, who owns all the means of producing food; what is the relative status of those who produce food and those who own food; and who ultimately distributes the food."
“So, as long as it revolves around these three aspects of ‘production relations’.”
"If we make some changes based on the realities of the Great Zhou, we will surely be able to alleviate the contradictions between people and land!"
Hearing this, Qin Yuan was very satisfied.
Although my wife pretended to be stupid when I talked about this last time, it was obvious that she had worked hard behind the scenes.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to have such clear logic and layer-by-layer analysis to point out the direction of land policy reform!
Qin Yuan nodded and praised: "Yes, my lady, you are right. It is true that when a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes!"
Yan Jiaoran pursed her red water lily lips and smiled faintly.
She was very satisfied with this compliment!
Sure enough, all the suffering and pain these days were not in vain!
This bastard finally praised himself!
Finally I don’t have to listen to this bastard’s trash talk anymore!
However.
Soon, Yan Jiaoran's smile froze.
Qin Yuan just smiled and asked, "Madam, how do you think we should change it?"
He had been preparing for this moment all night!
Yan Jiaoran's face fell, and she said helplessly: "As for how to change it, I don't have any good ideas for the time being..."
It’s okay to have no idea!
Qin Yuan said proudly: "My lady, look at this——"
"In fact, you have hit the nail on the head."
“Land policy, in the final analysis, is the system of production relations on land.”
“Therefore, the key points are still those three sentences.”
“Therefore, the key points remain those three sentences, namely the three elements of production relations.”
"First, who owns all the materials needed to produce food, such as arable land, oxen, and seeds?"
"Second, what is the relative status of those who produce and own food? Are they one and the same, or are they masters and slaves, or are they employers and tenants?"
"Third, who will ultimately distribute the food?"
"Since the Qin Dynasty, there has been no fundamental reform in agricultural technology, and grain production has not increased."
"As a result, the only three options left for successive dynasties to reform the land system, alleviate the conflict between population and land, and prolong the life of the dynasty are those three."
