Chapter 83: Too Big a Step
Everyone has their own dreams.
Some people's dreams are ordinary, while some people's dreams are unthinkable.
Wang Mang's dream is very unusual: he wants everyone in the country to have enough to eat and wear clothes. This was unthinkable in ancient times.
In particular, when Wang Mang was born, the Western Han Dynasty had entered the last years.
Although there were no strong foreign enemies, because the whole country had been peaceful for too long, the aristocratic landlords wantonly embezzled the land, constantly squeezed the living space of ordinary civilians, and made the social contradictions expand unprecedentedly.
In this regard, no one has a say more than Wang Mang. Because Wang Mang's family, the Wang family, is one of the most noble families in the Han Dynasty.
When Wang Mang was sensible, the Wang family was already in power: nine people were made marquises, five people served as the Great Sima, and many generals in the clan were waiting, and everyone lived a life of lustful dogs and horses.
It can be said that as long as you are born in such a family, even if you are an idiot, you can live a comfortable life.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Mang can deeply understand what kind of gap there is between nobles and commoners, and how the country has become terminally ill.
Therefore, Wang Mang has become a freak in everyone's eyes.
When his brothers were sensible, he kept pure. At a time when his brothers were extravagant, he lived simply. When his brothers only knew to lie on the family merit book and wait for death, he was diligent and studious.
No one can understand why Wang Mang is so strict with himself, only Wang Mang himself knows that he has betrayed his class and devoted himself to the greatest cause in the world, to build the Han into a socialist country.
"I didn't expect to fail. Wang Mang looked at the historical record handed to him by Xun Ze with frustration.
"On the one hand, it is because your opponent Liu Xiu's luck is really against the sky, and on the other hand, it is also because the series of reforms you have made not only failed to alleviate the contradictions of various classes, but have detonated these contradictions in advance, and concentrated the source of the contradictions on yourself. ”
Called Xun Ze to explain to Wang Mang,
"The biggest contradiction in China since ancient times is actually the land contradiction. If the landlords and nobles wanted to make themselves richer and richer, they could only let themselves own more land.
And if the common people want to have enough to eat, they must also have enough land for cultivation.
Although China was vast, most of the land could not be cultivated during the Han Dynasty, and pioneering was not something that could be done in one or two generations.
Even Jianghuai and other places with good land conditions have become rich after the efforts of several dynasties.
Therefore, if you rush into economic reform without fundamentally resolving the land contradiction, you will only stand on the opposite side of everyone. ”
"What should I do then, teacher?" asked Wang Mang, sitting on his chair decadently.
Where do I know what to do?
Called Xun Ze was actually very worried in his heart. Anyone can point out problems, but not everyone can solve problems.
Most of the world's problems have been solved because of the development of technology. Until productivity reaches that level, the society that Wang Mang hopes for will never be reached.
However, as a teacher, of course Xun Ze would not say such discouraged words in front of Wang Mang. He patted Wang Mang on the shoulder and said,
"Mang, isn't the reason you're here to learn how to solve problems? So don't worry just yet, a month is enough time for you to find the answers you want here. ”
"Thank you, teacher. When Wang Mang heard the words of Xun Ze, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
asked Xun Ze to estimate that Liu Xiu and Zhao Ke'er were almost communicating at this time, so he asked Wang Mang to follow him in the direction of the bedroom.
"You've learned to order your own takeout?"
Called Xunze to take Wang Mang to the bedroom, and found that Zhao Keer had already ordered a table of takeout waiting for them.
"The money paid by Liu Bei's junior brother, the takeaway I ordered. ”
Zhao Keer sat at the dinner table and didn't greet Wang Mang when she saw him coming in.
Called Xunze didn't ask Liu Xiu where he got the money, for a European emperor, probably money is the easiest thing to obtain.
"This is your new junior brother, called Wang Mang, you say hello. Asked Xun Ze to point at Wang Mang and said to Zhao Ke'er.
"Oh, hello. Zhao Ke'er nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a greeting.
How did Liu Xiu, this kid, explain to Zhao Keer, why is Zhao Keer almost writing the words 'I hate you' on his face now?
"Hello senior sister. Wang Mang is really a good boy, although he also noticed that Zhao Ke'er's attitude towards him was not good, but he still respectfully greeted this senior sister who was much younger than him.
After dinner, it was not early, and after asking Xun Ze to prepare a separate room for Wang Mang to live in, it was time for Zhao Ke'er to go to bed.
Called Xun Ze did not ask Liu Xiu how to explain to Zhao Keer the reason for his name change, so he supervised the three students to sleep in turn, and then returned to the bedroom by himself, turned on the computer, and began to find a way to teach Wang Mang.
This kind of thing is obviously impossible with the wisdom of one person alone. Called Xun Ze to the Stanley Forum, which has not been used for a long time, and posted a post "If your student is twenty-year-old Wang Mang, how should you teach him".
"Oh, Xunze, why are you posting such meaningless posts again. ”
Xiao Suo, a more active user in the forum, was the first to reply called Xunze,
"The post you posted last time Li Bai made Xucang and Yuanyuan tear up for almost a week. The tearing has led to the withdrawal of the virtual position from the forum.,You still send it.。 ”
What, the virtual position has withdrawn from the forum?
Seeing Xiao Suo's reply, Xun Ze hurriedly clicked on his friend list and found out the account of the virtual warehouse forum, and then found that the virtual warehouse really posted a topic of permanently withdrawing from the Stanley forum.
Before he could see it, the message bar in the upper left corner of the forum showed that someone had replied to his post, and he asked Xun Ze to click on it and take a look, it was a steady reply.
"Xiao Suo, don't wronged me, Xucang obviously has a new job recently, and he is temporarily out of the water forum. Also, we're not tearing, we're talking about it normally!"
"I'm the only one who thinks this post is more interesting than the last one. Leech, a user with a wide range of knowledge in the forum, replied, "You must know that Wang Mang is a historical figure who is suspected of being a traverser." If he can really travel back in time, how can he be taught to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past? ”
"It's not easy. Yuan Yuan replied simply and rudely. "Kill Liu Xiu!"
"Even without Liu Xiu, Wang Mang's defeat is only a matter of time. He took too big a step. The leech replied, "Ten steps ahead is a ghost, and a hundred steps ahead is a psychopath." Wang Mang said that the reform carried out was essentially socialism in ancient society, and this would certainly fail.
Because regardless of productivity, the level of cultural popularization is not up to the mark. So if Xun Ze is really Wang Mang's teacher, the first thing to do is to make him not so radical and follow the objective law of historical development. ”
