Li Shimin did not think that Tubo could pose a huge threat to him, so he hoped that Jing Wen could talk about his judgment. Although Li Shimin did not look down on Tubo very much, he was cautious, so he had to listen carefully. Jing Wen naturally had to start explaining.

"Emperor, do you think there is any difference between our China from the period of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, to the later Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then to the period of the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world?" Jing Wen asked.

Li Shimin frowned, obviously not knowing what Jingwen means. According to ancient people's cognition, these are just several dynasties and there is no difference. However, Jingwen actually said that these dynasties are different, and Li Shimin didn't know where the specific differences are. At most, Li Shimin thought that the families of the rulers were different, so what else could there be? Li Shimin spread his hands and asked Jingwen to continue to explain, what are the differences between these dynasties? Li Shimin also wanted to hear Jingwen's statement.

"Emperor, if we start with the two emperors of Yan and Huang, that is, the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. In that era, all kinds of disasters occurred frequently, and the food in the land was not enough to be produced. When humans were in danger, they would join forces to fight against disasters. This was not only humans, but also animals. When they joined together, they would become one by one, and they would become one by one, and they would spend together. Everything was a common society. The leader was not a fixed family, and we now call it abdication system. In this period, it was actually what we called the primitive society. Before the appearance of Zampo, the primitive society was the primitive society, which was equivalent to the period of the two emperors of Yan and Huang. When they spent this primitive society, they heard about the thirty-two generations from their Zampo."

"Primitive society?" Li Shimin agreed a little.

Jing Wen continued to explain, saying: "Then the next, the Xia Dynasty is another stage. You should know that before the Xia Dynasty, the tribal leaders were abdicated, which means that one family did not completely monopolize the position of the leader. And now..."

Jing Wen looked at Li Shimin's reaction, and Li Shimin seemed to have no reaction because he, the emperor, was the representative of the family and the world. Li Shimin obviously knew all of these, but he knew the reason for these historical stages, but he was still waiting for Jing Wen to explain.

When Jing Wen saw that Li Shimin had no special reaction, he could only continue to explain: "Emperor, the Xia Dynasty is also a historical junction. He obtained power from Xia Qi, and later consolidated his power through various wars, successfully allowing his family to be a long-lasting hereditary leader. And this era was the Xia Dynasty. And the emperor. Do you know why Xia Qi could successfully turn a public world into a family world? Can he gain the support of the vast majority of people in this process?"

Li Shimin twitched his lips, obviously he didn't understand at all. But Li Shimin could not show his ignorance in front of his ministers, so Li Shimin smiled and said nothing.

"In fact, the establishment of the Xia Dynasty represents the beginning of another era, that is, the era of slaves." Jing Wen introduced.

"In the Xia Dynasty, in fact, the pressure on human life is not that great. With the application of metal tools and the progress of agricultural production, more and more food is increasing. With sufficient food and surplus, some people can be separated from production and are responsible for managing the people. These people are the beginning of officials."

Li Shimin's mouth twitched again, because he, the emperor, wasn't the number one guy who got nothing for nothing? But he still didn't say anything. He just asked Jing Wen to continue talking.

"When wealth is surplus, these properties become the private ownership of some people. This leads to private ownership, which changes the public ownership of the past when everyone lives and consumes together. In the case of private ownership, slavery will inevitably follow. In the end, the entire country becomes private. This is an irreversible trend, not something that a single person can change. Therefore, the public world becomes the family world, and this is impossible to reverse. Unless someone is willing to return to that era where starvation is possible at any time."

"Slavery began in the Xia Dynasty, and began to collapse during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. From Shang Yang's reforms, it means that slavery was basically extinct from then on. The people actually obtained private property, and everyone worked hard for their own private property, and they also worked hard to become court officials and even get titles. This is called the feudal era. In the feudal era, the kings first divided the vassal states, and the princes took the food other than the food rations of the people by letting the people work. Later, the feudal system was disintegrated and became a gentry who owned the land. The gentry now replaced the lords of the past and became the essential fiefdom owners, and made a living by collecting the surplus food produced by the farmers. However, our Tang Dynasty is still in the feudal era."

Li Shimin finally asked: "Is it interesting to talk about these to me? What I want to hear is why you regard Tubo as your biggest enemy, not others. Others are actually much stronger than Tubo, why do you keep staring at Tubo? You have been talking for so long and have not had any key things in contact with Tubo. What do you want to say?"

Jing Wen immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what I mean is, don't you think Tubo is very similar to our Chinese history?"

Li Shimin frowned, obviously not knowing where the same thing Jing Wen said was. Li Shimin actually did not really understand what Jing Wen said just now, because this kind of thing was too profound and complex, so how could Li Shimin, an ancient person, understand it casually? Therefore, Li Shimin obviously didn't know the difference here.
