In the face of the national policy of changing rice to mulberry in the face of the Ming Dynasty, w

"Changing rice to farming" is a plot that originated from the TV series Ming Dynasty. This plot did not appear in the official history of China, and it can be said that this plot is fictional in TV dramas. Let me express my opinion on why the common people are not buying it.

1. Changing rice to mulberry will destroy rice seedlings

Judging from the time at that time, the national policy of changing rice to mulberry was formulated on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at that time.

It's almost the end of February. And in the TV series, Zhejiang Chun'an.

The time for planting seedlings is about the end of May, which has a certain interval, and some people persuade the people not to plant rice, but the people still plant rice seedlings.

The only way to implement this policy is to carry out a seedling treading operation and destroy all the rice seedlings planted. But in the eyes of the common people, rice means that food represents the foundation of their survival, and such direct destruction is unacceptable to them. It may have been intended to promote this policy to improve the people's economy, but in this way, good intentions do bad things, and the methods adopted have made the people's hearts even more unsettled.

Second, changing rice to mulberry is not achieved overnight

In the eyes of the common people, the grain harvested from the rice they planted can be used directly, while the silk used to grow mulberry and silkworms cannot be used as food to directly fill their stomachs, so that the common people abandon rice on a large scale and go to plant mulberry trees.

This may also be very rare. Because of the social productive forces at that time.

It is not developed, and the economy is still relatively backward, so if they give up growing food, it means that they may not have enough to eat.

Moreover, at that time, Zhejiang itself was the main grain producing area, and the common people had always made a living from farming. It is also very difficult for them to learn to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, and it is not possible to achieve it overnight, so if this national policy is to be implemented, it must be done slowly.

There are also various factors, such as land policy, public opinion, etc., which make this strategy possible to be good, but in the end it was not successful.

This basic theory of "changing rice to mulberry" is an inevitable process to be experienced in the course of urbanization, and these peasants will not be separated from agricultural production.

The land is the life of the peasants, Ma Ningyuan said that if the seedlings are destroyed, the people will definitely not want their originally peaceful life to change suddenly, this reform should not be too radical, it may be easier to implement.

Because this change is too radical to implement for Sang, let the people directly pull out the seedlings, then naturally everyone will not agree, why do you say that the seedlings I worked so hard to plant will be destroyed, without advance publicity and without considering the feelings of the people, it will naturally not be accepted.

Everything must be done step by step, and it has its own objective law of development. If food production is already highly developed, there is a surplus of food, but otherwise it is scarce. You don't have to force it, and the common people will automatically leave agriculture and invest in new industries.

But at that time, there was not enough food to eat, and what was the use of having more silk.

Because the policy of changing rice to mulberry was implemented too suddenly, and the immediate implementation did not conform to the actual situation, the common people did not buy it.

Because the fields at that time had already been planted with rice, they wanted to pull out and plant mulberry again, but the people naturally did not agree.

Because this policy was so sudden, the people could not get the benefits immediately, but also lost their own interests.

Because of this policy, the people did not know in advance, and they had already planted rice, but now they are going to pull out the mulberry.

Because changing rice to mulberry contains three contradictions: contradictions among the people, party contention, and ineffective handling of strict parties.

This change from rice to mulberry is doomed to failure, and the root cause is that the emperor is too greedy and the court is too corrupt. It's not a question of who did it and by what means. As long as Jiajing does not let go, he will definitely fail.

Because this leads to the **** of food, many people are not full, and they will not implement some things if they are not full.

It is feasible to change rice to mulberry, but because such an act will cause losses to some landlords and some capitalists, and affect their income, it will not be carried out and will be hindered a lot.

Because there were many people who obstructed such behavior at that time, and such policies would destroy the interests of many people, they could not be implemented.

Because there is no way to manage this measure well, there is no way to continue, and it is very difficult to implement.

This policy does not meet the needs of the country, and it does not put the people at the center, so it fails.

That's because if you do this, the people's lives will be more miserable, and there will be no way to eat and clothe them, so it will lead to the failure of such a policy change.

Because people need some food to eat, if you plant mulberry trees, you can't eat by yourself, so it will fail.

It was because many people did not support this activity, and many people did not dare to try planting, so it failed.

Because the local farmers have been growing rice since the older generation, no one knows whether the change from rice to mulberry will be successful, and if the farmers fail, they don't know what they will rely on to survive.

Because farmers in Zhejiang have long been accustomed to growing rice, and they also understand this technology, they are reluctant to change.

This is because ancient China was originally based on agriculture, and all the seedlings at that time had already been planted, and there were also conflicts between the common people and the peasants.

This is because it will affect economic development, do not conform to the law of economic development, and will cause damage to interests, which is also unfavorable to the peasants.

He probably thought that the yield of rice was not high, and changing rice to mulberry would allow agriculture to have a better development, and he wanted to develop agriculture first.

Mainly because at the beginning, he thought that if he did this, it might be beneficial to solve this difficulty, and he also thought that this was for the sake of the emperor, and the people would not particularly resist, so he wanted to do this, but he didn't expect that the feasibility of this plan was still relatively poor.

Because this way can make one's city develop faster, it can also improve the living standards of farmers, and it can change the thinking of farmers.

Regarding "changing rice to mulberry", specifically it is to change rice to mulberry according to Yan Shifan's method of annexing land with great power, and there were two opinions in the Ming Dynasty at that time: one is of course the Yan Party and one faction, and they are resolutely supported; The other is Hu Zongxian, Hai Jui's faction, which is resolutely opposed.

According to the country's financial resources at that time and the strict party's control of the DPRK situation, if you want to change rice to mulberry, I am afraid that there is only one kind of reform, Yan Shifan, I think that if the team is united, this change can be successful, of course, the people will suffer.

The reason for Hu and Hai's opposition was that if the powerful annexed the land, the livelihood of the people would be cut off, and the people would starve to death and cause turmoil if they had no heaven and earth. Regarding this reason, in one episode of the play, Shen Yishi refuted it in a conversation with Gao Hanwen: If a farmer loses his land, he just changes from a propertied to a proletarian, and the proletarian is equivalent to starving to death?

Haoqiang has acquired land and developed the breeding and textile industries, but also needs a large amount of labor, and it is necessary to provide employment opportunities for a large number of landless peasants, and the peasants will certainly not starve to death, and if the people are not forced to die, the possibility of the people rebelling and rebellion will not be high. If the Yan Party wanted to be more secure, let the powerful people raise the wages of migrant workers a little in the second year, so that the living conditions of the peasants would be better than in the disaster year.

Shen Yishi could see the truth, didn't Hu Zongxian see it? Or did Hu hide the real reason for his opposition in his heart, just throwing out a superficial, glossy reason? In the play, Hu said that the people in his hometown set up three archways for him, and he didn't want to be picked up by people when he came to the old age.

Could that be why he is against it? Hu and Hai are different, Hai gives people the feeling that he is simple, simply acting according to his own axioms, and his opposition is inevitable. What is the reason for Hu's opposition, I have never figured it out, and I hope that the master will give me advice.

After reading "Changing Rice to Mulberry", I specially found the British "sheep eating people" enclosure movement to compare it and found a lot of similarities. In a fantasy, hehe, if "changing rice to mulberry" is achieved, China will now be a developed capitalist country. From this point of view, has Hu Zongxian become a historical sinner?

There must be discrepancies between TV dramas and real history, my opinions are all based on TV dramas, I haven't checked the historical materials, and I hope to bear with the mistakes.
