"In the Han Dynasty, it was called Dasi Nong."

"In the early years of this dynasty, it was renamed Xihe."

"And then it was changed to Nayan, what's the point?"

Every time he came to Nayan Mansion, Wu Lun couldn't help but want to complain, in the new dynasty, how to make everyone from the officials to the people feel unbelievable and inconvenient?

The answer is to change the name, and if you can't, then change it twice.

Pain and troubles belong to the people, and happiness belongs only to the emperor Wang Mang.

Although the name has been changed twice, the nature of the work of Nayan Mansion has not changed, and it is all about managing Qian Valley.

There were three main sources of imperial finance: rent, tax, and tax. Rent refers to the rent of the field, the collection of grain and manuscripts, the previous dynasty is thirty rents, the current dynasty is eleven rents. Fu refers to all endowments, levied on a person-by-person or household-by-person basis, in the form of currency, and the people of Liewei County who were forced to sell grain a few days ago were calculated and paid.

Fifth Lun came to Chang'an this time, which was to carry the county's rent and pay two cases.

The "Nayanshi" who was responsible for receiving him was precisely an old friend who had been a Lang official together, Geng Chun, a giant deer man.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Boyu."

Geng Chun was very happy to see the fifth Lun, and after he kicked the official out, he didn't look at the plan he handed over, and sat down at the same table first, chatting and gossiping.

"The day before yesterday, Jing Sun Qing sent a letter."

"I also received one." Wu Lun said with a smile: "He has done a good job as the Marquis of Gude in Shuoqiao County (Shanggu County), and he has been praised many times. And thanks to Boshan, what does it have to do with this? Tell me about it. ”

When there were no outsiders, Geng Chun didn't have an official appearance, so he sat on his feet and said, "Didn't I tell Bo Yu before?" The Maoling Geng clan is a relative of mine. ”

"When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty, a branch from the Julu Geng clan migrated to Maoling, and it has been more than 100 years.

"I went to the letter to recommend Sun Qing to the sect brother, he is already talented, naturally stands out, and gets respected, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be promoted to the post of Gude Marquis."

Fifth Lun said with a smile: "The Taishi Xi Zhong Jingshang and Sun Qing are brothers of the same clan, but they are unwilling to help him, thanks to the help of Boshan. As a poem, although there are brothers, it is better to be friends. ”

Geng Chun didn't take it to heart, and only said: "I also have a nephew named Geng 弇 (yǎn), who is only sixteen years old, and he is also a young talent. It's a pity that he is in Shuoqiao County with his father, if he returns to Guanzhong, he must be introduced to meet Boyu! ”

After talking about the recent situation of his friend, Wu Lun urged Geng Chun to quickly collect his upper plan, and at the same time asked with concern: "Boshan, quickly penetrate the wind with me, should there be any more endowments in Nayan Mansion this year?" ”

Theoretically, the capitation and oral contributions are only paid once a year, but there are exceptions. Just because the main purpose of the money is to be used for military expenses, the expenses for the supply of armoured soldiers and chariots and horses will often increase if the state is insufficient in the number of military formations.

Most of the time the increase is "more endowment", that is, the adult men who do not serve the border war pay the service fee, to the end of the Han Dynasty, the treasury is becoming more and more empty, even if there is no war, the levy of more taxes has been a regular system, even the "seizure" of this disabled person can not be spared.

Even more ruthless is the "levy of levies with 訾 (zī)", according to the legal decree "Jin Bu Lingjia", when there is a war in a border county, the imperial court can order the whole world to pay for it. Generally, a certain percentage of the endowment will be levied according to the total amount of family property, and it is not required to be money, and it can be paid with grain.

There is a reason for Wu Lun's concern: "I heard that in the third year of Tianfeng (16 AD), the Pingman general struck the town country (the junction of Yunnan and Guangxi), and the imperial court increased the revenue of the Yizhou Thorn History Department, and collected five out of 100 people's wealth. ”

As a result, the war was not won, because it was the middle of summer, and the soldiers died from the plague.

"So in the following year, the Son of Heaven sent Lian Dan, the first general, to levy the Longyou cavalry, 100,000 Ding Zhuang in the counties of Bashu as soldiers, plus 100,000 people who were responsible for the transportation of grain, and the second expedition to Ju Town."

"Although there were small victories at the beginning, the war was protracted, the military rations were not in touch, and the soldiers were hungry. The first general asked the court for grain, so he increased the endowment again, and this time directly requisitioned four-tenths of the wealth of the people in the counties of Yizhou! ”

This is too ruthless, nearly half of the family property is used for military spending, making the people of Yizhou poor.

Fifth Lun secretly guessed that those forcible and robbed endowments were not all used for military spending, but also into the pockets of officials of all sizes. Now that this battle has been going on for two years, I don't know how it will be won.

Yizhou is tired, and there is no longer a trace of oil and water, and if you want to maintain the war, the imperial court has to increase the amount from Guanzhong. This is a knife to cut meat, Wu Lun himself is distressed, not to mention the poor peasants who have been struggling to survive because of the calculation of the endowment, the small peasant economy is too fragile, and any tyranny will force them into bankruptcy.

Geng Chun's face was strange, and he didn't answer, he only got up and closed the door tightly, and then whispered to Fifth Lun: "Bo Yu is rightly worried, there is a rumor from the south, I will tell you about it." ”

Fifth Lun immediately cheered up, but when he finished listening to Geng Chun's speech, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"It is rumored that because of the long-term invincibility of the first general, Lian Dan was afraid of the blame of the Son of Heaven, and instead wanted to kill the nearby Yiren and lie about his military exploits. As a result, it triggered a rebellion against the silkworms and Ruodou in Xinjun (Yizhou County), captured the county town, and killed the county Yin. And in the north, Jishan County (Yueshan County) Yi Damu was unbearable to be recruited, and he killed the officials, and it was also reversed! ”

This is not only the country of the town, but also the two counties and three departments, and the entire Nanzhong region is eroded.

Fifth Lun seems to be able to see that the spark in Kanto has not yet risen, but the side plug has already smoked!

"Now it is said that General Genshi has been transferred back, and the Son of Heaven has sent Guo Xing, the Great Sima Protector, to quell the rebellion."

"This battle in Nanzhong will continue?"

"Still fighting!"

Geng Chun also couldn't understand why the emperor was so paranoid, originally the year before last, he wrote to advise the capital (Guanghan) Dayin, thinking that the southwest Yi had been in rebellion for ten years, the Nanzhong road was blocked, and the miasma was dense, no matter how many people were thrown in, there would be heavy losses, even if the town country was defeated, it would not be worth the loss. It should be changed from suppression to pacification, summoning and luring the chieftains, and ending the war.

But Wang Mang didn't listen, thinking that this was weakness and appeasement, so he dismissed his officials, and the result was today's disaster.

With the dignified Central Celestial Empire unable to subdue a small tribe, Wang Mang's face was probably very unbearable, so this battle, in the case of changing the generals, became "Sanzheng Ju Town".

After learning about this, Wu Lun suddenly realized: "It is precisely because of this that this year, the five junguan will still lower the price of grain to buy grain in Guanzhong under the situation of the disaster in Kanto!" Could it be to prepare for the Battle of the Three Expeditions? ”

"Yes, yes." Geng Chundao: "Now that Yizhou's wealth is exhausted, the counties are barbarian and restless, and the people are also quite unconvinced. ”

"The court is obsessed and still wants to fight again, but I am afraid that it will really have to increase the endowment in Guanzhong, so it is better for Boyu to make plans early, and keep more money and valley at home for backup."

Fifth, this is also the reason why as soon as he earns money, he immediately changes it to food, and then invests it in Yicang and improving production tools.

In Xin Mang, any attempt to accumulate wealth and savings is to make a wedding dress for the imperial court. Once wars are frequent, paying military contributions according to family wealth is enough to make all your profits for ten years.

Fifth Lun can be regarded as having understood, in this magical age, the heart of the void is more reliable than the real money.

The money and grain will be forcibly seized by the Xinmang court at any time, and half of the complaints can't be made, but the favor gained by accumulating good and accumulating virtue is not easy to be snatched away.

When he said goodbye to Geng Chun and left Nayan Mansion, Wu Lun digested what he had seen and heard today, and only sighed in his heart: "Later generations mentioned Wang Mang and said that he usurped the Han, but now it seems that Wang Mang is the most hardcore 'imperial Han'!" ”

The sense of superiority as a Chinese nobleman and the heartfelt contempt for Siyi can be seen from Wang Mang's best name change.

For example, Tianshui County, Longyou, was renamed Zhurong by Wang Mang.

This is understandable, and there are precedents to follow, but he can't stand his old man being too diligent, and he actually changed the border around the counties.

Youzhou Jixian County was renamed Varong, Beidi County was renamed Weirong, and Longxi County was changed to Rongrong County. There is a Di Dao under Longxi County, which has been changed to "".

Rong was scolded for being bloody, and Di didn't escape. Yanmen County, renamed Fill Di; Northland County, renamed Disgusted; There is also a small place called White Wolf, renamed Qiu Di, which shows Wang Mang's deep hatred for Beidi.

The character Hu was not spared, and Wuyao County in Bingzhou was changed to Disgusted Hu, and Pingyi was changed to Pinghu.

The east and west are barbaric and the north are barbarian, and the Hu, Di, and Rong in the northwest have been scolded so much that they can't raise their heads, and the southeast will not stop. Langxie County, located in Qidi, was changed to "fill in the land" by Wang Mang. Changsha changed the "barbarian land", the southeast and northwest, in the inner summer and the outer Yidi, no one is missing.

This is not a spiritual victory method that changes the name and gives up, Wang Mang practiced it personally, strictly followed the Zhou etiquette, and demoted all the foreign vassal kings of the Han Dynasty to marquis, and the results are known.

And for these chieftains who did not accept the new dynasty, Wang Mang's measures were one word: "War!" Those who clearly offend my great newcomer will be punished even if they are far away! ”

As a result, there are provocations everywhere, which is equivalent to fighting four wars at the same time.

If it can win, it will really be an emperor through the ages, but the embarrassing thing is that the new army is like the national football team, no matter who it faces, it has been defeated repeatedly, and the tradition of one Han enemy and Wuhu is gone.

lost the Western Regions and rotted Nanzhong, and the Western Qiang was in danger, so Yan Youna beat Goguryeo all the way to the next Guryo and won.

Wu Lun also discussed this matter with Yang Xiong, but Yang Ziyun thought that this was not a matter, and the former Han Dynasty had also provoked Siyi, and finally ploughed the court and swept the holes, so that there was no rival around.

Sure enough, provoking a side provocation is not a sin, but a dish is the original sin.

Only the Xiongnu are a special case.

Yang Xiong also said in his "Shangshu Admonition Not to Allow Shan Yu Dynasty": "Only Beidi is otherwise, the real enemy of China is also, the three vertical ratios are hanging, and the previous life is very heavy, and it is not easy to light!" ”

Yang Xiong thought that the Han Dynasty fought for 40 years, but still failed to destroy the Xiongnu, until the time of Han Xuan, he found the best way: the Xiongnu surrendered to the Han, restrained, and kept peace between the north and the south, which was the most cost-effective way to get along.

According to Yangxiong and Yan You's views, as long as Wang Mang is not confused enough to start another war with the Xiongnu, the rest of the places will be small troubles, and with the size of the Central Plains, it will be solved sooner or later.

Now that the Xiongnu Lao Shan is dead, perhaps the new Dan Yu sent the envoy and Wang Zhaojun's son-in-law, the right bone of the Marquis Xubudang, and can reach a peace agreement with the emperor.

When the fifth Lun was thinking about it, he saw that at the gate of the Nayan Mansion, there was a small yellow door from the palace galloping, and as soon as he entered the door, he raised the edict in his hand and read it out loud.

"Edict of the Son of Heaven!"

"Since the second year of Tianfeng, Yu left a single in Jinzhen, because the edict said that it changed its name, the Huns said 'Gong Nu', and Shan Yu said 'good at', but Zuo Xian Wang Kou was the same."

"Today, Wu is good at death, the younger brother Zuoxian Wang Yuli, Yu Xian often enters the north for Kou, the border is killed, and it is very Minzhi, so Yu should not be good at it."

"The right bone of the Huns is the Hou Xubu, the son-in-law of the Ning Hu clan, and he returns to righteousness, with a sincere heart, and surrenders with courtesy. Today, in addition to it, he is good at it, and he is given a seal ribbon, and a large army is sent to assist it. ”

"Poetry is not cloudy? thin-felling玁狁 (xiǎnyǔn), as for the Great Plains. Wenwu Jifu, all countries are constitutional! Yu dang sent the great Sima You, the first general Dan general to the millions of soldiers, the Fuxi River, the great curtain, the broken face, the royal court, the poor, chasing the north, ploughing its court to sweep its holes, and punishing the good public opinion and standing up contemporary. Then divide Gongnu into fifteen countries, Yun Che swept, and there will be no aftermath! ”

is really worthy of Brother Mangzi, this operation made all the officials in the Nayan Mansion from Nayan Lu Kuang to Geng Chun stunned.

Even the fifth Lun stopped on the steps and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

This edict is summed up in one sentence: "I declare war on the Huns!" ”
