Chapter 4 The Causes of Climate Change
"Okay, let's inform the villagers later." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Uncle Huang is really an enlightened person, he knows the importance of learning cultural knowledge." Qin Yu sighed.

I remember that when he went to the first village to support education, many parents did everything possible to prevent their children from going to school in order not to lose a labor force at home.The village chief was also not very active in this matter, because he also felt that instead of wasting time in school learning those useless things, it would be better to let the children herd more sheep and hoe more fields.

But now, as soon as I told Uncle Huang, he immediately agreed, very straightforward.

"You must know that in the decadent Manchu Qing period, it was because of our country's backwardness in technology and culture that foreigners easily blasted the country away with strong boats and cannons. Since then, we have experienced a history of humiliation for a hundred years." Qin Yu continued, " A large area of ​​land was ceded, and all the money was used as compensation. That period of history has also become a pain that will never be erased in the hearts of my descendants."

"Being kicked out of the country by foreigners and experiencing a hundred years of humiliation?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows and said angrily, "Ceded a large area of ​​land to foreigners, and all the money was used for compensation. Is such a country still a country? The emperor at that time was simply a country. The emperor of the ages, you should be killed!"

Just a little surprised: "However, why have we never heard of this history?"

He used to ask Li Shanchang Liu Bowen to tell him about history, and he knew history very well, but even if he tried to think about it, he couldn't find that Huaxia had such an experience.

Although the Yuan Dynasty was also invaded by foreigners, the Mongols were not considered foreigners.The so-called foreigners are blond and blue-eyed, from overseas.He knew foreigners. He had received Marco Polo in the Yuan Dynasty.

"Sir, may I ask when the Qing Dynasty was the dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help asking.

"After the Ming Dynasty." Qin Yu said.

After the Ming Dynasty! ?When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, his expression froze immediately, and a terrifying murderous intent burst out of his eyes.

As the founding emperor, no matter who he is, he feels that the dynasty he created will be passed on for generations to come.However, now, Qin Yu actually stated that the dynasty would perish, and after that would be the Qing dynasty?

Both hands were tightly pressed on the sword at his waist, but he endured it and said coldly: "My Ming Dynasty will surely be passed on to all generations, how can there be a so-called decadent Qing Dynasty after that?"

"Hey, you're a little too courageous."

My Ming Dynasty?Qin Yu didn't feel his killing intent, but felt dumbfounded.The cognition of the people in this village is still in the Ming Dynasty?He actually thinks that the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished?

It really is a backward mountain village!
But fortunately, it is better than the slash-and-burn primitive people.

He didn't laugh at him at the moment, but said lightly: "Do you think the Ming Dynasty will not perish? Looking at the feudal dynasties in Chinese history, which one can last more than 300 years? The Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty...even the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty How can the Ming Dynasty escape this curse? This is the so-called general trend of the world, the long-term division will be united, and the long-term will be divided."

All the dynasties in history did not exceed 300 years?

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down immediately, and released his hands from the hilt of his sword.He began to think about the history of the previous dynasty, and after a while, he realized that what Qin Yu said was actually true!
The reason why he didn't know about this spell before was because he had never paid attention to it.

Moreover, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Song Lian and other great scholars never told him about this matter.Their level of knowledge has not yet reached the height of being able to view the history of the entire feudal dynasty in a macro perspective.

And even if some of them were able to find out, they would not dare to tell Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because once you say it, it's easy to lose your head.

"He is right. Even the Han and Tang dynasties cannot be avoided. What is so special about my Ming Dynasty that I can escape this curse?" Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help sweating and his clothes were drenched.

Suddenly, my heart moved: "Since the young man in front of me is a fairy who came down to earth and pointed out this curse to me, does he have a way to break it? Can he tell that the Ming Dynasty will be followed by the Qing Dynasty, and he can know 500 years later?"

"He was specially sent by the heavens to save me, Daming?"

After figuring this out, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had an urge to bow to him three times and nine times, asking for advice.

However, as the founding emperor, his city is very deep, and he said calmly, "Then, sir, how can Daming avoid the curse that the reign of dynasties in history can't exceed 300 years?"

"This matter is a bit complicated to talk about." Qin Yu said.

"Although it is complicated, please give me your advice." Zhu Yuanzhang said, and expressed his opinion, "As far as I know, the reason why the dynasties in history will perish and be replaced by others is because the later generations have a foolish monarch. "

"The stupidity of the last monarch is actually only one of the very small reasons." Qin Yu said, "In fact, many of the last monarchs were not really stupid. It was the environment that caused him to be stupid. After 300 years of rule, there must be a stupid king in the world? How can there be such a coincidence."

As far as he knew, Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was admired by the 'Village Chief Huang', was not at all insane.He even has the ambition to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, but the cruel reality and limited ability prevent him from saving the Ming Dynasty.

"Excuse me, sir, what do you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang cupped his hands for advice.

At this moment, his heart was shocked.

Because in his cognition, the decline of dynasties in history is all the fault of stupid kings.Not only are all history books recorded this way, but even great Confucian scholars such as Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen have this view.

But now Qin Yu actually said that he has nothing to do with Hunjun, which is an unprecedented point of view.

"There are many and complicated reasons why feudal dynasties in history could not escape the curse of no more than 300 years." Qin Yu said, "Let's start with the most superficial reasons. The first is that climate change leads to various natural disasters. Constantly."

"The climate of the earth is a cycle every 300 years, and cold air masses and warm air masses alternate." Qin Yudao, "In ancient times, the farming economy was the mainstay. In the warm period, the crop yield was high, the people had enough food and clothing, and the dynasty was prosperous. In the cold period, not only the crop yield was low, Natural disasters will continue and the dynasty will decline.”

The climate is a cycle every 300 years?I have to ask the historian to check it out when I go back!Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart.

"Crop production has been severely reduced, and natural disasters will cause a food crisis." Qin Yu continued,

"The ancients did not understand the principle of the climate cycle. They would say that the occurrence of natural disasters was a problem with the emperor's morality. So some powerful civil servants forced the emperor to issue an imperial edict in order to obtain forgiveness from heaven."

"Doing so is not only useless, but also makes the emperor lose popular support and dignity."
