Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 171 The Essence of Feudal Society, Exploitation!

Su Jing chose wood as the material for the mirror frame, because it happened to have complete tools for making pulleys.

Holding the things, Su Jing came to the yard.

"Come on, Lao Liu, let me measure the distance between the eye sockets."

Su Jing took the ruler and gestured directly in front of Liu Bowen's eyes.

Liu Bowen is also quite cooperative:
"Please, Mr. Su."

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's just a small matter, it's just a coincidence, anyway, I have nothing to do."

In this way, Su Jing was making the frame, while Liu Bowen was listening to Zhu Biao explaining the propagation of light.

"The Spread of Light"

Zhu Biao was a little excited to give Liu Bowen a lecture, after all Liu Bowen was his teacher before.

But when he started talking, the tension disappeared.

Liu Bowen listened very seriously, and didn't have any contempt in his heart.

As an all-rounder who is proficient in astronomy, geography and arithmetic, Liu Bowen is always willing to accept new knowledge.

When Zhu Biao explained, he also used a few small experiments that Su Jing had done for him before.

An hour later, a polished spectacle frame was completed.

The appearance is very simple and simple, the eyes, the function is the main thing.

Su Jing pressed the lens on, and carefully checked it several times to make sure that the lens would not fall off easily, so she was relieved.

"Probably this is the principle. This is why the glasses can allow you to see clearly again, Master Liu."

Zhu Biao let out a sigh of relief, and finally finished the explanation.

Liu Bowen nodded, his heart was shaken, and he cupped his hands towards Zhu Biao and said, "Thank you, young master, for clearing my confusion."

Zhu Biao immediately said: "Master Su taught me these things."

"Old Liu, come and have a try, are these glasses suitable?"

Su Jing handed over the finished glasses to Liu Bowen.

"it is good."

Liu Bowen took the glasses and took a look, then he understood how to wear them.

This image is relatively easy to understand.

"very suitable!"

As soon as Liu Bowen arrived, he found that his eyes suddenly opened up, and all the previous vagueness disappeared.

It was like opening up a whole new world.

Liu Bowen was a little excited. He couldn't remember how many years it had been.

When did I start to lose sight of things.

In the early years, it was commonplace to study at night for the imperial examination.

According to Zhu Biao's explanation, it should be that the eyes were overused at that time, which led to irreversible changes in the eyes.

Unexpectedly, at this age, there will be such a day.

In Liu Bowen's heart, he was extremely excited.

He looked at Su Jing, bowed to Su Jing and said: "Young Master Su is a great favor, I can't repay you."

The eyes are the windows to know the world, so its importance can be imagined.

Su Jing said with a straight face: "Old Liu, what are you doing, there is no need to do this, it's just making a gadget."

"Usually pay attention to eye protection, I will teach you an eye exercise after I bring it back."

Su Jing has always been very generous to those who have an appetite.

He didn't take this kind of thing as a favor either.

Looking at Su Jing, Liu Bowen felt even more guilty in his heart, that he had harmed Su Jing!
The two returned to the living room. After all, Zhu Biao and Zhu Wei still had to study in the yard, and chatting next to them would easily disturb them.

"Come on, Lao Liu, I'll teach you eye exercises."

Su Jing has already started to demonstrate to Liu Bowen.

"In the first section, rub the Tianying acupoint..."

"Second section, squeeze the Jingming acupoint..."

"In the third section, massage Sibai acupoint..."

"In the fourth quarter, massage the temples, scrape the eye sockets..."

Watching Su Jing's demonstration and explanation, Liu Bowen also quickly learned this set of eye exercises.

"Remember to use it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Eye protection is not something that can be achieved overnight, so you have to persevere."

Su Jing asked Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen nodded: "I see, thank you Mr. Su for giving me glasses and teaching me this set of eye exercises."

Whether it was glasses or eye exercises, Liu Bowen felt Su Jing's sincerity.

At this moment, Liu Bowen didn't even dare to look at Su Jing.

"Old Liu, you, you, I let you order as you like, why can't you let go?"

Su Jing said helplessly.

Since Liu Bowen came here, his body has not been completely relaxed, and he has been in a tense state.

It can only be said that Liu Bowen has always had something in his heart.

Liu Bowen paused for a moment, then said, "Young Master Su, I still have some questions I want to ask you, but I don't know if I can answer them."

This time, Liu Bowen came here for the purpose of asking for advice, so naturally he would not let this opportunity pass.

"Of course, but my knowledge may not be as strong as you think, and you may be disappointed."

Su Jing said lightly.

Being in Daming, the more Su Jing understood, the less he felt superior as a modern person.

The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

Liu Bowen didn't take it seriously, he only thought that Su Jing was being modest.

He hesitated for a while, and said: "Master Su, when I was at the master's house, I read Mr. Su's remarks about the fate of the feudal dynasty, and I have been immersed in it since then, unable to extricate myself."

"Mr. Su once said that the feudal society will eventually perish. After the feudal society, what will the world be like?"

What Liu Bowen is most curious about is what kind of new era will usher in after the reincarnation of the feudal dynasty is shattered.

Maybe he will never be able to see it, but at least he wants to know what kind of world it is.

Su Jing was also taken aback when she heard this.

Has everything I talked about with Zhu Biao reached Lao Liu's ears?
Is Zhu Yuanzhang a bit too bold?

Su Jing was not surprised that what he had said to Zhu Biao was known to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, they are also father and son, and the relationship must be closer than their master and apprentice.

But the old Liu in front of him, isn't that a servant of his apprentice's family?

Although the status is relatively high, it is definitely not the apprentice's family.

Su Jing still knows a little bit about the nature of what he is talking about.

The feudal dynasty is bound to perish, doesn't that mean that the Ming Dynasty will perish.

If this gets out, it will be a great crime against the Jiu Clan!
However, I am alone here, and there are no nine clans to kill.

Although Lao Liu had heard some disrespectful content before, it still surprised Su Shi now.

This.
Obviously, Su Jing was really surprised.

"Old Liu, do you have such a good relationship with your master?"

Su Jing didn't answer Liu Bowen's question, but asked rhetorically.

Ordinary masters and servants should not be able to achieve this level.

Otherwise, this is the handle.

If Liu Bowen came to a dead end and spread the news, Zhu Yuanzhang would be the unlucky one.

Of course, Su Jing didn't know their identities, so it was normal to have doubts.

Hearing Su Jing's question, Liu Bowen's expression was slightly strange.

Is your relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang good?
Is it good or bad?
If before the Ming Dynasty was established, Liu Bowen could confidently say that his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang was that of Liu Bang and Zhang Liang.

Incredibly good.

But now, in my heart, I still want to continue to serve Daming and Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, only one ended up under house arrest.

"It's okay."

Liu Bowen replied.

Ok?
It's ok?

Su Jing frowned, not believing Liu Bowen's words.

This is not an ordinary relationship. Can you talk about such things as the demise of the feudal dynasty?
"Master Su, everything I said is true, there is absolutely no deception."

Feeling Su Jing's gaze, Liu Bowen said immediately.

Apart from having to conceal his identity, Liu Bowen didn't intend to deceive Su Shi about anything.

"Forget it, I don't think about it anymore, anyway, this is your business, and you know that's one more thing."

Su Jing shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your understanding."

Liu Bowen said.

He was really worried that Su Jing would get to the bottom of it, and he would not be able to get past his conscience if he continued to hide it.

But it doesn't work if you don't hide it.

Su Jing paused and said: "You are asking what kind of social form will be entered after the end of the feudal society, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Su, please clarify."

Liu Bowen replied seriously.

Liu Bowen has a high IQ, deep knowledge, and broad vision, so he can understand more things from Su Jing's remarks than others.

Liu Bowen really wants to know about the changes in social forms and what the future will look like.

Su Jing also felt Liu Bowen's emotions, he straightened his body, frantically recalling relevant knowledge in his mind.

The old Liu in front of him is not Zhu Biao, he is sincerely seeking knowledge, pure knowledge.

"Old Liu, I don't know much about some things, so all I can tell you is what I know and what I understand, not necessarily right."

Su Jing laid the groundwork first.

After all, you can't do things that mislead your children.

Liu Bowen nodded and said, "Young Master Su, just say, I understand."

Su Jing's eyes moved slightly, and he tapped his right hand on the table with his index finger, and then said:
"If you want to know the social form after the feudal society, you must understand the previous social form."

"Through the changes in history, find the changes and laws in it, and then it is possible to understand the future situation."

It would be too fake to directly talk to Liu Bowen about the future.

Su Jing still thinks that it is better to proceed step by step.

"What Mr. Su said is true, but I don't know what the social form was like before?"

Liu Bowen nodded in agreement.

He was not in a hurry, but wanted to patiently listen to the ins and outs.

It took him a long time to understand the word feudal society before he realized it a little bit.

Su Jing looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Let's start with the current social system. I call the current social form a feudal society."

"The social form in which feudal land ownership is dominant and the landlord class rules other classes is the essence of feudal society."

"It's not just our Ming Dynasty, it's the same in other distant countries."

"By mastering the means of production, the land, the landlord class exploits other classes by extorting land rent and usury from the peasants who use the land."

"At the same time, the forms of feudal land ownership are also different. They are realized through contractual lease, payment of land rent, and employment of tenants, etc., but its essence is still a relationship between exploitation and exploitation, which will not change the nature of feudal society as a class society. Nature."

"Then, Lao Liu, from what angle do you think the term feudalism should be understood?"

Su Jing raised a question, and at the same time he was organizing his thoughts in his mind.

To talk about the theory of feudal society, Su Jing still learned from Marxist historiography.

In fact, it is mainly applicable to Europe. For China, Su Jing needs to add his own understanding.

This is also an important reason why Su Jing deliberately told Liu Bowen that these are just his personal understandings before the lecture, and they may not be all correct.

China cannot be explained completely with this set of theories.

Liu Bowen frowned, thinking seriously about Su Jing's question.

After a while, he replied: "I thought that feudalism should refer to the land enfeoffment system."

really.

Su Jing was not surprised by Liu Bowen's answer. After all, feudalism existed in ancient China, so it is normal to understand it this way.

"What about the Qin Dynasty, Lao Liu, do you think the Qin Dynasty is a feudal society?"

Su Jing asked Liu Bowen back.

Qin Dynasty?

Liu Bowen was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered what Su Jing had said: After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, it was the beginning of a feudal society.

However, the Qin Dynasty did not implement the system of enfeoffment, but the system of prefectures and counties.

"Then how should we understand feudalism?"

Liu Bowen said humbly.

He has discovered his fallacy, and this understanding is problematic.

Su Jing replied: "From another perspective, how about understanding from the direction of production relations?"

"The relations of production between the landlord class and the common people."

Relations of production?

Liu Bowen was taken aback for a moment, and thought carefully for a while.

The essence of feudal society should actually be understood from the perspective of production relations.

"Mr. Su, do you mean that the exploitation of the common people by the landlord class constitutes a feudal society?"

Liu Bowen asked Su Jing.

Great!

Although what he said was very vague, what Liu Bowen said had already surprised Su Jing.

Old Liu has never studied Marxism, so he can understand this.

Pretty good.

Su Jing nodded and said: "Old Liu, although your understanding is not completely accurate, it is already pretty close."

"Our feudal society has four basic characteristics."

"First, economically, private land ownership dominates. Second, politically and culturally, a highly centralized autocratic system is implemented."

"Third, in terms of culture, Confucianism is the core. Fourth, in terms of social structure, it is a patriarchal hierarchy that combines clan power and political power."

"Economic, political, cultural and social structures, which are also the basic elements that make up a society."

Liu Bowen savored what Su Jing said carefully, and kept reflecting in his mind.

Su Jing was not in a hurry, just sat like this, letting Liu Bowen think patiently.

These are not things that can be understood just by listening, but also comprehended!
Fortunately, Liu Bowen is not a fool, he quickly matched what he saw and heard with these four characteristics.

"Master Su, I have understood a little bit."

After about a stick of incense, Liu Bowen looked at Su Jing and said.

His eyes were full of longing. What Su Jing said was enlightening to him.

In his view, Su Jing is like an existence above the vast river of history, and he can explain the world he lives in with just a few words.

Su Jing, really extraordinary!
