After annexing most of the land and various social survival resources, when the lower-class people have no way to survive, the lower-class Li Zichengs will rise up and slaughter and purge all the vested interests and powerful people of the previous dynasty.
After the establishment of a new dynasty, the founding heroes will transform themselves into new vested interests and dignitaries, who will then redistribute and eat up the land and various social resources in the hands of the old dignitaries of the previous old dynasty.
Such as the Three Kingdoms, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the late Tang Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty, etc. Whenever a dynasty enters a transition period, the population will inevitably drop by 70% to 90%.
Because the sum of land resources and other social resources is still the same as before, the total amount remains unchanged, but after the establishment of the new dynasty
The number of new meritorious officials and dignitaries during this period was often less than 20% of that of the previous feudal dynasty.
Therefore, even if the new nobles in the new dynasty are still as greedy as the old nobles in the previous dynasty, the land resources and other social resources they have squeezed out of their teeth can still leave enough living space for the lower-class people.
Therefore, when a new dynasty is first established, the country is usually peaceful and the people are stable. In addition, the rulers at the beginning of the new dynasty are often able to work hard to govern the country. Therefore, the dynasty will quickly enter a period of rising national strength and reach a prosperous state in just a few decades or even ten or twenty years.
With the arrival of the era of prosperity, the country will be peaceful and prosperous. The speed at which the most primitive new powerful people reproduce will increase rapidly at a geometric rate, which will further lead to the new powerful people continuing to collect high-quality social resources.
In addition, in times of peace and prosperity, some people from the lower classes would strive to enter the upper class through imperial examinations or other means, leading to a further expansion of the size of the powerful class.
The resource cake in ancient times was only so big, but more and more people were eating the cake. If these latecomers wanted to eat more of the cake, they would most likely not take the risk of snatching the cake from the old dignitaries.
The safest way is to snatch the few pieces of cake from the lower class people. In the end, the lower class people will be deprived of the cake that supports their families.
The Records of the Current Officialdom states that when the lower-class people of the Qing Dynasty worked hard for a few copper coins, they still could not get enough food and had no means of living, but the high officials of the Qing Dynasty could easily make tens of thousands of taels of silver.
But when greed is still not satisfied, then the dynasty will quickly enter its end, and the social structure needs to be reshuffled. Then a powerful person will appear with a group of counselors and brave generals, gather the bottom-level refugees who have no way to survive, and purge the vested interests and old dignitaries of the old dynasty.
Then a new feudal dynasty was established, resources were redistributed, and a new dynasty cycle began.
