Chapter 514: The Fall of Western Rome(2/2)
This is a phenomenon that has never happened to the Central Plains dynasty. This strange phenomenon is a logic that the Central Plains dynasty cannot understand.
Every time the Central Plains dynasty changes, conflicts between people and land will intensify, and too much population will lead to the inability to support the land. A little bit of natural disasters and man-made disasters will arouse the people who have lost their land in several provinces and rise up.
Not wanting to be born, with a small population, and being replaced by the barbarians is a way of destruction that Hu Yi completely cannot understand.
Too weird.
Nikolaoz fell into deep thought. It was too complicated and he didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Hu Yi waited quietly. After a cup of tea, Nikolaoz finally said: "The Romans had to bear almost all taxes. Every time they had a child, they would have to pay heavy taxes. The Romans were unable to bear taxes.
Fu, so I would rather not have children, even if I give birth to children, I would drown.”
"And the barbarians do not need to pay taxes, saying that they have given birth without any burden."
Hu Yi thought about it for a long time and finally understood the strange situation of Rome, where the Romans needed to accept tuition, but the barbarians did not accept tuition.
Rome did not have mature bureaucrats. After conquering the barbarians, they could not even have a tax system. They could only abide by the barbarians not to collect taxes and maintain their rule.
Daming did not charge taxes on the Tatar tribe at present, but the Ming Dynasty created extremely terrifying inflation on the grassland. With the cooperation of Tatar inner demons, countless Tatars continued to travel to the mainland to seek the protection of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty did not collect taxes, but people were collected.
Nikolaoz looked at Hu Yi's face and knew that this Secretary of Hu had another understanding, but Secretary of Hu was always so smooth and had some understanding, but he always kept it in his heart.
Nikolaoz continued to speak: "Secondly, the Romans were responsible for military service. Every time they fought, a large number of young and middle-aged people died, but these people could not be supplemented."
"Under the parent system, the bureaucracy was not mature, which led to the opposition of the war among parents of various families, which further aggravated the growth of the barbarians."
Hu Yi can understand that this was considered to be the Xingwen and Wuwu in Rome. Parents of various families opposed the war, including the reasons for the population.
This is not a problem that can be solved by bureaucracy.
But Hu Yi could imagine what Nikolaoz didn't say. The parents of these families probably have considerable interests among the barbarians. Hu Yi could even assert that the existence of these barbarians is the power to protect the status of parents.
one.
The trick of raising enemies to respect themselves is not a unique cultural phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty.
Nikolaoz said painfully: "The third is the influence of religion. In the struggle for the theocracy of the regime, the Roman Empire finally compromised, but this compromise did not bring prosperity to the population."
"In order to restore the population, Shangshu Hu, all the emperors in Rome thought of it."
"For example, women under the age of forty are not allowed to enter the monastery to be show girls. For example, inappropriate matchmaking for young and old will be broken up by the emperor, for example, every time they have a child, they will receive a reward of three silver coins, etc., it cannot be said that there is no use."
