Chapter: 48

Zhu Di's joy was almost impossible to hide, he already liked this dick that resembled himself even more.

It's just that Zhu Gaoxu was extremely resistant to reading in the past, but now he has opened up his mind here with Jiang Xinghuo, and he can go on the road of both civil and military skills in the future.

But when Zhu Di turned his head, he saw Dao Yan's serious face, which was unusual for Dao Yan, who was always resourceful.

"Master?" Zhu Di asked tentatively.

Dao Yan didn't answer, but signaled Ji Gang and the two civil servants to leave.

After the three of them left the secret room, Dao Yan organized his language before speaking slowly.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that what Jiang Xinghuo is talking about is... Dragon Slaying Technique!"

"What?"

Zhu Di was slightly taken aback, then frowned and thought for a moment.

"I have heard about the dragon-slaying technique." Zhu Di raised his head and asked, "The master who assisted me to ascend to the throne, didn't he use the dragon-slaying technique?"

"What I learned is still the Dragon Supporting Technique handed down from the Grand Master Liu Bingzhong of the Yuan Dynasty. It can only help people with dragon aura to ascend to high positions, and it does not have the ability to truly change the world like the Dragon Slaying Technique."

Before he knew it, Dao Yan's self-proclaiming became extremely solemn.

Zhu Di couldn't help but said, "Then what does the master think? Is Jiang Xinghuo's "National Fortune Theory" the legendary dragon-slaying technique?"

"I think it looks a bit like it, but it doesn't look like it." Dao Yan's answer was very contradictory.

In fact, Dao Yan is not ignorant of Dragon Slaying Technique.

Although the dragon-slaying technique has been lost, it has the same origin as the dragon-supporting technique.

Legend has it that the science of dragon slaying can change dynasties, and even establish a new system.

It's like the dragon slayer learned by the Legalists who assisted Qin Shihuang to rule the world and set all kinds of new rules for the world.

However, the dragon slaying technique has been lost for too long now.

Dao Yan simply didn't believe that there were still people who would master this knowledge.

"Your Majesty, please continue to listen."

Zhu Di looked solemn, and he and Dao Yan continued to listen.

"Your answer is very correct. Next, I will talk about another truth that is closely related to it."

"Let's continue talking along the timeline of the turn of Shang and Zhou Dynasties." Jiang Xinghuo said slowly, "Due to the advancement of farming technology, productivity has been greatly developed, and the population has begun to show explosive growth. It cannot adapt to the new demands of governance."

"At the same time, Zhou was a small state while Shang was a large state. After the allied forces destroyed Shang, Zhou was unable to rule the entire region, so he had to "feud the state and establish a state" and chose to transition from a slavery dynasty to a feudal dynasty."

"Since the feudal system has been adopted, it is necessary to resolve the disputes between the princes by clarifying the ranks, so that there is a distinction between the noble and the humble, and the difference between the senior and the young. So Zhou Gong formulated the "Zhou Rituals" and implemented the patriarchal system. Chinese history has entered the Spring and Autumn Period."

"This is called—the economic base determines the superstructure."

"Productivity determines the relationship of production, and the economic base determines the superstructure. Both history and future development follow these two sentences. As long as you apply what you have learned, you can see through the fog, see the truth, and even see the future."

Zhu Gaoxu probably understands it, but he still doesn't believe it, or the ultimate secret is too easy to say, so he can't believe it.

"Such an important secret is hidden in these two sentences...Mr. Jiang, I didn't mean to find fault. I just want to ask, is this true?"
