The plot has entered a deep water zone. I have been thinking about it for several hours tonight and haven’t started writing it yet. I still need to think about it. I can’t guarantee that it will be updated tomorrow. Here I will share some of my thoughts that I have been thinking about for several hours.
It is good for readers to blindly guess the subsequent plot, but this book only guarantees that the logic can withstand scrutiny, and the humanities and social science knowledge in the book can withstand scrutiny, but it may be written the other way around!
The fact that thunder cannot explode, at least does not exist in my book.
The protagonist is not someone who can become invincible and kill everyone by relying on some small tricks. For example, the two-tax law is so awesome that I could write hundreds of thousands of words of reform plot in a single book. I didn’t even mention it when I took it out, and there wasn’t even a splash.
To put it simply, this thing was useless during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty! I went straight to bed.
There is no need to make "sure-win" guesses about these little tricks. This book only ensures that there are no problems with the operation logic. It is normal to write them back as bombs. If you see a gun on the wall, the protagonist will definitely hit someone with the gun. This is not absolute, and this book does not follow this routine.
I have a lot of useful information in my stomach, and there is a lot of useful information that can be written in this book. I will not engage in those mysterious plots and make a very childish thing look high-end. If you read slowly, this book must have more than four million words.
Recently, I have written about the land issue and the development of market economy during the Tang and Song Dynasties, which are very profound and difficult to understand. This line is the main trend in history after the disillusionment of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. I spent a lot of time researching it carefully.
What are the advantages of the Two Taxes Law and why can it be promoted? Why was the three provinces and six ministries system later substantially disintegrated? Why were the land conflicts in the vassal era eased? What were the advantages of the commodity economy compared to the small peasant economy? How did the regime change after the decline of the Tang Dynasty? The feudal town model is solved.
The real answers to these questions are very complicated, and even completely opposite to what ordinary people think. It is naive to use some very simple and inherent impressions to set up the plot.
What most people pursue is social stability and prosperity, but whose society is this society? Who does stability satisfy to the greatest extent? Who needs to abide by the rules of the game, and who is the one who makes the rules of the game.
These are the premise of many questions and the precursor questions of those questions. If the answers to the preceding questions are different, then the conclusions of the subsequent questions and the path the protagonist will take are also completely different and completely opposite.
Again, there is no need to use inherently vulgar plots to cover things that I have spent a lot of time researching and thinking about.
The best example of the answer to this prerequisite question is Brother Ji.
If the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is the prosperity of Brother Ji, and the stability is the stability of Brother Ji, and the needs of Brother Ji are met to the greatest extent, or is Brother Ji setting the rules of the game at will, will you be satisfied?
The answer is obvious.
Why do some historical books have the protagonist look like a schizophrenic person? That’s because those books cannot answer or deliberately do not answer the questions I just mentioned:
Let me ask who owns the world today!
So by extension, it’s easy to follow the plot:
What does the existence and disillusionment of the prosperous Tang Dynasty really mean?
Should this unbreakable alliance be thrown into the trash heap, live in a dream, or become a footnote to the story?
The title of this book is "Elegy of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty".
