If the Qing Dynasty is a rich country, some people may say, you, you don't look at the current European countries, many places are very rich, turn the history back to the Qing Dynasty period, many European countries are not as good.
Of course, you refer to the Qing Dynasty being poor, only the period of disintegration, but also the late Qing Dynasty, and the Great War of the Peaceful Heavenly Kingdom, heavy losses, some netizens may say, according to what you say, the Qing Dynasty is so rich, why are there still people who oppose.
The reasons are inseparable from several problems, the economic allocation management reasons, the real reasons for the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
Let's go through the history and do some statistical analysis.
To talk about the Qing Dynasty, I have to say that the Eight Flags disciples, who are the Eight Flags disciples! They are the main force that laid down the Qing Dynasty, they are an army that cannot be underestimated, the Great Qing Dynasty is based on them to fight down, so their status in the Great Qing Dynasty is quite high, and their descendants can enjoy the court in the Qing Dynasty.
These stupid children do not have to work at all, they can all get glory and wealth, enjoy endlessly in their lives, men smoke opium, play with birds, play with tickets.
And now the rich second generation of special image, not the right business, there is also endless money, all day long to eat and drink fun, the magnate in hand, easy to get money, to put it bluntly, they have endless money, life is like the rich man now, every day to drive a sports car to hang out, sister, bubble nightclub.
What about the people? Miserable, poor food can not afford to eat, the Qing Dynasty, is the classic country rich people poor, why is this so? The problem of power and government, because the privileges given to the people by the Qing Dynasty were very low, made the ability to allocate wealth poor.
In this case, the people are getting poorer and the country is getting richer, just like their own homes are very luxurious, and they go out to the streets full of beggars, because they put economic privileges in the hands of the nobility.
In this way, the economic mobility is poor, it is difficult for the people to turn over, and these powerful people, who mainly rely on their rights to exploit the people, there were many people who spent money to buy officials.
These circumstances complicated the official system of the Qing Dynasty, which also means that as long as you spend money, you can become an official, whether you have the ability or not, and your heart is not right, which leads to chaos in the official system.
If you think about it, this kind of official position trading will only bring about greed and corruption, and why most people buy official positions is very simple, when officials get rich.
They buy official positions to be privileged, so it is good to fish for gold, just like the current celebrities, as long as people are famous, money will come quickly, so many people began to speculate, the purpose is to cut leeks for good, a live broadcast is not millions or tens of millions, this situation who does not want to be famous for gold.
Since the Kangxi Dynasty, officials like to borrow gifts and bribes to seek improper benefits, this trading model, like a tumor in the body, spread everywhere, very active period, the power system became a channel for the transmission of interests, this bureaucratic body in the process of operation, became the lubricating oil of power, ushered in the reincarnation.
This kind of economic allocation difference, the people's strength is even weaker, that is, when the officials are rich and the people are poor, they constantly exploit the people's strength, but it is quite difficult to ask for money to pass through the hands of the people, and the whole official system is to raise fish, but do not feed, let them drink water to grow.
By the late Qing Dynasty, there were many groups of corruption, one imitation after another, and the official system was complex, at this time the Qing Dynasty already knew that at this time there was a crisis, and the tumor had spread uncontrollably.
What to do? Hurry up to rectify, in fact, it has reached the outbreak of cancer, even if it is to be cured, the Qing Dynasty vigorously cured corruption, the most ridiculous result is that it is difficult for officials to be alone, catch one in a row, catch ten even a hundred.
It's hard! The big guys, even the corrupt officials of the Jiaqing Emperor were numb, was it not clear to the emperor in his heart, at this time he was very clear, if he ruled again, I am afraid that the officials of the Qing Dynasty would be wiped out, because they would stop doing it.
The emperor is tired and indispensable, but the virus is still spreading, he has no way, he can only look forward to his grandson, hope to produce a capable person, handle this matter well, but a generation is not as good as a generation.
Corruption and aristocracy are everywhere, the people can't open the pot bitterly, and the children of the magnates go around the kilns and use their privileges to earn gold.
By the time Empress Dowager Cixi was in charge, the tumor was already in its advanced stages. In the late Qing Dynasty, officials and gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty did not have to pay taxes, and most of the land in the Qing Dynasty was in the hands of these people, and if the people wanted to cultivate land, they had to be tenants.
Although there are regulations on the standards for the court to pay rent to them, with Daoguang, Xianfeng, and the Qing Dynasty's treasury already empty and corrupt, all kinds of miscellaneous taxes are increasing, resulting in a great loss of popularity and boiling public resentment.
In the late Qing Dynasty, in the year of Gengzi, reparations, foreign affairs, the New Deal, local officials exploited the people, there were many taxes and miscellaneous, ridiculously, meat donations, wine donations, wood donations, pig donations.
In fact, donate a fart, can not see the people have two cents in their pockets, you have wood to donate, you have pigs to donate pigs, to put it bluntly is extortion, at that time the late Qing Treasury was empty, looking for various reasons to fish oil and water from the people.
Although it was very rich during the Qing Dynasty, these wealth were controlled by the powerful, and those silver and eight banner children could use it, officials could use it, and rich wives could use it, that is, ordinary people could not use it.
So these wealth is not worth the people's hands, the Qing Dynasty is very harsh on the distribution of the people's wealth, as long as you have two cents in your hand, they will not let you go, but for those nobles, they can be rich, the common people want to be rich, in addition to having nobility, or you desperately make money, in vain.
The demise of the Qing Dynasty is the poor ability to distribute wealth, not the Qing Dynasty is poor, the nobility has endless money, the people have problems with eating, and with the advancement of time, the country has lost to these nobles.
When the Qing Dynasty treasury was empty, they more severely forced the people to pay taxes and donate goods, the original people were already bitter, during this period, many people had nothing to donate, and their only way was to resist.
At this time, Hong Xiuquan appeared, he called for tax resistance, to overthrow corrupt officials and corrupt officials, under the call of Hong Xiuquan, it was very popular with the people, the reason was that the poor could not open the pot, plus Hong Xiuquan recruited troops to buy horses, gathered righteousness and rose up, in this land, and showed a fierce war, Hong Xiuquan led the poor to attack the Qing soldiers.
Moreover, these poor people, all of whom did not have enough to eat, lived with their pants and belts, they could not see hope, they could only kill a new road, one by one, as fierce as hungry wolves, a drum beat to break the Qing Dynasty, plus the Qing Dynasty's original treasury was empty, the pressure was high, the Qing soldiers had enjoyed the kiln for many years, smoked a lot.
Walking is unstable, full of oil and water, vulnerable, at this time the Qing Dynasty cancer has reached the advanced stage, Hong Xiuquan has been fighting for several years, the Qing Dynasty is even poorer, can sell the land, people's hearts are lost.
In fact, the early Qing Dynasty was richer than Europe, and this land of China was historically a place where dragons were hidden, whether rich or wise, since ancient times, few other countries can be rivaled, no matter which dynasty, it is a crowd of heroes.
The distance of wealth caused the Qing Dynasty to perish, and it could not get the balance of wealth, sooner or later it would disintegrate, when the Qing Dynasty's official power was rich all over the world, the people were poor and could not open the pot, the distance between the two was too far, in fact, the wisdom of governing the country was to balance the distribution of wealth, and once it was unbalanced, contradictions would come.
Only when the government and the people are balanced, will there be no discrimination between the two, in fact, the officials need the people, the people need the officials, it is mutual coexistence, common profit, not the power of the lord, just like the relationship between the boss and the employee, the relationship between the two is good, the enterprise is good, the relationship between the two is poor, the enterprise is down, the manager gives advice, the laborer contributes to do things, the two cannot discriminate against anyone, can not look down on anyone, only in this way can we be a common body and achieve a great cause.
