官员还是那样的官员,百姓大概不是原来的百姓了
(评显微镜下的大明)
对历史中人物的兴趣,追溯过往,始自初中时看过一本穿越小说,《新宋》。新宋里面对历史人物的描述,并不弱智,更难得是作者还颇讲究史学溯源,某些细节上,让人能感受到千年前市井生活的风貌。
长久以来,我一直有一个疑问,一个典型意义上的老百姓,在唐宋元明清到底是怎么生活的。有传说中国的看门老头过的日子都比欧洲的领主好,可我看到那些清末以来的一些老照片,以此情境前推千年,普通百姓的日子是什么光景,实在让人无法乐观。
后来又看到有研究,千年来,我们这篇土地上个,劳动生产率就没发生什么变化,反倒是人口越多,土地负担越大,人均生活水平越差。因此打的康乾盛世的外来作物,比如玉米甘薯之类的,反倒是使得普通意义上的老百姓日子过得更惨。这样想来,唐宋的老百姓过的日子比满清的还好些,穿越回去倒也没有太惨。
这本书,着眼点就在于明朝普通老百姓的一点事情,老百姓和政府的联系,也就在田赋徭役,也是整本书的主要内容。书翻过一遍,能看到的是普通百姓被层层累加,逐步把整个王朝压垮,而在此过程中,能看出的是几乎是无人能扭转这个体系的崩坍的趋势。
以古观今,大概官员还是那个官员,但是百姓恐怕就不是明朝的百姓了。
