In the chat group, everyone was shocked, Song Dynasty's operation is so coquettish.
The ancestor of China¡ª
"Amazing, I have only fought in Central Asia now, and the navy is still in the process of building up and training. After all, the technology is there, and the resources and population cannot be improved in a short period of time."
The first emperor couldn't help admiring that the advantages of the Song Dynasty were too great
Really - starting from scratch -
"Indeed, I have enough population and the navy, but there are too many things that need to be changed. At present, places such as Malacca have just been developed."
Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked.
How did the Song Dynasty burst out with so many people and resources.
Attila and Yelu Dashi hid in the corner and shivered, these big guys were so fast
I will not change history¡ª
"Zhu Yuanzhang, aren't you in the lower reaches of Song Dynasty history?"
"It stands to reason that you should develop faster than the Song Dynasty."
Li Shimin didn't understand.
The downstream dynasties are generally stronger than the upstream dynasties, which is recognized by everyone.
? Population, national power, degree of land development, literacy level of the people under his command, etc.
Some people say that Great Qin is invincible in the world, sweeping the upper and lower reaches of history.
However, if the national strength of Great Qin is reduced to ten, then the national strength of Great Tang can reach fifty or even eighty.
After the end of the first emperor's sweep of the six kingdoms, the so-called million-strong army under his command still couldn't be fully armed with a million-strong army, or even fully armed with iron armor. He could reach about 500,000 if he died.
At that time, the population had just reached about 13 million.
In the Tang Dynasty, the population under his command reached at least 30 million, and the literacy rate reached about 20%. The imperial examination has already become partly feasible.
The army already has a complete tactical model, and it is not a problem to draw out millions of garrisons plus standing troops.
Not to mention the popularity of iron weapons, the Tang Dynasty at that time had already begun to popularize steel weapons.
Therefore, it is a wrong way to compare the Qin Dynasty with the Tang Dynasty or any two dynasties.
Generally speaking, it is no problem that the Han Dynasty surpassed the Qin Dynasty in terms of comprehensive national strength, and the Tang Dynasty surpassed the Han Dynasty.
There are many components of a country's combat effectiveness, not just military force, such as logistics supply, talent supply, land area, number of troops, number of armor popularization, food production, domestic development level, domestic conflicts and so on.
These combined are the real fighters of a dynasty.
The simplest comparison between the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty is that the two lakes and the south were not completely developed during the Qin Dynasty, while during the Tang Dynasty, because of the Jin Dynasty's clothing and clothing, the southern region experienced great development.
At the same time, during the Tang Dynasty, there were developments from the Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Sui generations. Domestic river transportation, land cultivation, and transportation have all made great progress.
The gap in overall national strength is too large.
If you popularize one million soldiers without complete armor and one million iron armor, the number of soldiers who start to use steel weapons is large, and the pressure without armor is absolutely great
This is why Li Shimin was puzzled.
According to common sense, the national power of the Ming Dynasty should be stronger than that of the Song Dynasty. Why hasn't Zhu Yuanzhang managed to break into Ah San's territory yet?
? Really - self-made -
"Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say, it's incomparable."
"The Ming Dynasty I ruled is still a bit weaker than the Song Dynasty in terms of overall national strength."
"The difference lies in cultural heritage and population quality."
"Execution is also slightly worse."
Zhu Yuanzhang admitted directly.
What can he do, he is also very wronged.
"The group of people in the Yuan Dynasty destroyed too much, and their rule over the Central Plains was destructive."
"Especially the scourge of Cheng-Zhu Confucianism has caused the quality of literati to not keep up."
"There are also some systems that I have come up with by relying on my own exploration, and now there are problems."
"In general, I am now making reforms bit by bit."
"So it's a bit slower."
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had no choice but to die
Li Shimin shut up decisively and stopped talking.
He remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang had engaged in the perpetual inheritance of titles and position inheritance, and also made various arrangements.?? Household registration, there are many messy positions, and the executive power of the Ming Dynasty is okay if he is alive, but he will definitely be unlucky when he dies.
Except for these, when Zhu Yuanzhang massacred officials before, he provoked many people. Some people have already compared his life expectancy with him. Those people are now hiding among the people.
? In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also developed the household registration and land fixed system, which is fundamental. If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to expand and recruit troops, there are many things that need to be changed.
So it's normal to take a slow shot.
¡¡¡¡
? Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Shi, and Qin Liangyu didn't speak, and all three of their dynasties took over Zhu Yuanzhang's pot.
There are indeed problems with Zhu Yuanzhang's system, and they are all Zhu Yuanzhang's own.
At the very least, the inheritance of local military household positions is enough, and there is a complementary population list. After this set, to be honest, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom.
From the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang's system was implemented enough, the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty became poorer and poorer, you can see one or two.
After the Ming Dynasty, the wealthy courts basically did not rely on population taxation to survive, and everyone was trying their best to make money.
The famous one is Zhu Di's voyage to the West, and the royal family personally smuggled it to make money.
? Mutual market carried out during the period of Ren Xuanzong.
Later Zhang Juzheng also engaged in smuggling and overseas trade.
?From Zhang Juzheng¡¯s play of using national materials to cover military expenses, we can know that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was really poor.
However, the population of the Ming Dynasty increased every year, and the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty decreased every year.
This thing is worth thinking about.
Anyway, the few Ming Dynasty bigwigs who joined the group are reforming the system.
There are indeed many problems in the fundamental systems of some countries
Empress¡ª
"What I'm curious about now is the silk trade that Li Gang and Zhao Ding play. Is this really profitable?"
"Put a single item on the national economic transaction materials."
Wu Mei doesn't care about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, she cares about silk now
"It's very profitable. Silk is something that steals money, especially in Central Asia and Europe."
"To put it simply, after the braid dynasty closed the country, there are only a few external windows left, and folk silk can earn half of the national treasury every year."
Su Xi told an amazing history.
"During the Braid Dynasty, after the Western Age of Discovery really started, there was a slave trade road that started from Europe with some cheap goods, went to Africa to obtain a whole ship of black slaves, and then sailed to America and sold them to American plantation owners. At the same time, they will load a large amount of gold here and then go to the external port at that time, exchange gold for silk here, and finally transport the silk back to Europe for sale and purchase.¡±
"I don't know the comparison between the price of the braid and the group of sailors at that time, but I know one thing, the gold paid for the subsequent treaties of the braid is a lot."
"According to the gold we produce ourselves, we can't afford that huge amount."
Su Xi couldn't help laughing.
None of them are good people.
"Europe, with a Mediterranean climate, is like spring all year round and extremely warm. Silk is comfortable to wear, breathable and smooth."
The silence in the group is incomparable. What you said is so clear that we can all guess it. That is definitely a sky-high price.
One didn't know the actual cost of silk, and the other suspected that the other party had a problem with his head, so he traded with gold.
In ancient times, silk, except for the top, was not equal to gold painting
