Chapter 5 Criticism and Reading
In the Han Dynasty, it was also called Shangshu, Shangshu, or Shangshu, or Songshu, and Shangshu.
Because the Han Dynasty is in the initial stage of the official document and the era is long, there are many differences in its classification among later generations, and Li Zhaoluo's "Pun Ti Wen Yuan" classifies it into five categories: strategy, performance, Chen Xie, refutation, and impeachment.
Moreover, the general processing procedure of the Han Dynasty is as follows: after the minister sends it, it will be handed over to the Yushitai for approval, so the Songshu in Wang Mang's hands is a document that the Yushitai cannot be the master, and it will be handed over and Wang Mang's approval is required.
said that it was a review and review, but in fact, it was just a passing eye, and many of them were trivial things. For example, if the presiding officer of a temple passes away, there is an auspicious omen in a certain place.
"What's going on..... The people of Yushitai couldn't do this little thing, and replied, "Wang An is a little speechless, and the co-authors of the officials play these every day?" It's completely different from what you learned in the book!
The new ancestor Wang Mang was too lazy to study, except for personally writing and criticizing several major military events in the red, the rest were written by Zhongchang and Huangmen Shilang, and copied with the imperial red pen according to the suggestions proposed by the imperial history platform.
This also led to the Han Dynasty ten permanent servants and other eunuch dictatorship, if the emperor is lazy and doesn't look at anything, the matter will naturally be handed over to the eunuchs to do, Zhu Pen, jade seal in hand, it is infinitely close to the imperial power.
Wang An looked at these notes beside the new ancestor Wang Mang, and suddenly heard the new ancestor Wang Mang ask intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that you have formed a guard of 1,500 people, what is the matter?" ”
When Wang An heard this, he seemed very indifferent, looked at his Lao Tzu, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are regurgitations everywhere now, and the emperor wants to share the worries of his father, and one day he will go into battle to kill the enemy and level the world." ”
The new ancestor Wang Mang was very surprised by Wang An's answer, and said in his heart, I, the future prince, is really a seven-trick and exquisite heart, since he got better, the whole person has changed, but it's a pity that the eldest and second are gone.
The new ancestor Wang Mang didn't think much about it, sighed, and said: "How old are you, you can't go on the expedition yet, wait for you to be older to share my worries, now, the wind and rain are drifting, and the autumn is eventful."
Hearing this, Wang An couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, and said in his heart: "You have it, if you toss it again, everyone will finish the calf." ”
Of course he didn't dare to say it, not only did he not say it, but he was still a little touched in his heart.
Regardless of whether this cheap Lao Tzu is suitable to be an emperor or not, but as a father, he is a good father, judging from the bits and pieces, the new ancestor Wang Mang is still in place for his teachings, and he is also full of ardent hopes for himself.
As for forcing his eldest brother and second brother to cut himself, as for poisoning Emperor Liu Yin of Hanping, that is, Wang An's eldest brother-in-law, this matter is completely nonsense, the new ancestor Wang Mang was at home that day, and he had never contacted anyone, how could he poison Emperor Liu of Hanping.
Judging from the bits and pieces of the past three years, the new ancestor Wang Mang proves that he is not a mad person.
Even though he was a little touched in his heart, Wang An still asked: "Your Majesty, father, how can I grow up?" ”
Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wang An to be so persistent in going on the expedition, he pondered for a while, and said: "Have your own mature thoughts, solve problems independently and effectively, learn to endure and bear pain, so that you can grow up." ”
There are still 3 months, and it will be December of the first year of the first year (January 15, 9 AD), and Wang Mang should ascend the throne and become emperor.
The fifty-four-year-old new ancestor, because of a series of chances, ascended to the dragon throne and became the helmsman of one of the shortest-lived dynasties.
At this time, internal and external troubles emerged one after another, and it was difficult to return, and the empire was in turmoil and dying.
Wang An also wanted to see what kind of prosperous era the new dynasty pushed down the new policy, at this time Liu Xiu was 13 years old, 1 year younger than him, and the 28th general of Yuntai had not followed Liu Xiu, how could Wang An give up this opportunity.
"Your Majesty, the child has grown up and wants to share your worries" Wang An said seriously, he was fighting for the opportunity to go on the expedition, otherwise how could he go to recover the 28 generals of Yuntai and go out to make money.
If you really wait for your body to grow up, the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, the new dynasty will be cold, and your end will be miserable.
Hearing this, Wang Mang smiled, not angry, and glanced at Xu Jia, who had been standing aside silently.
This Xu Jia is not an ordinary person, but a descendant of the eunuch Shi Xian, because his elders have a relationship with Wang Mang's aunt, he came to Wang Mang's hands and became a confidant.
Xu Jia understood, took a few copies from the other side, and presented them to Wang Mang.
Wang Mang didn't open it after taking it, and directly handed it to Wang An, asking him to analyze and make suggestions.
One of the notes was sent from Lu Mu in Qingzhou, and the soldiers stationed in Lu Mu mutinied because of the lack of salaries, and the hungry soldiers besieged the official office, and some people instigated the people to revolt.
The Flying Tiger led the army to suppress the Big Mac, captured 12 of the leaders, and immediately beheaded them, and the mutiny was pacified.
According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Wang Mang", the giant man "is one zhang long, ten girths, can not be carried by a car, can not win three horses, and lies on a pillow and drum, and eats with an iron chopstick".
That is to say, this benevolent brother is 232 meters tall, 6 centimeters taller than Yao Ming; The waist circumference is a full 2 meters, which is stronger than the "big shark" O'Neill. Ordinary carriages can't fit him, three fierce horses can't move him, he can only sleep on war drums, and he must use iron chopsticks to eat. Because if you use wooden chopsticks, you will directly turn into a toothpick and put it in your stomach.
It can be seen that this guy is a combination of O'Neill and Yao Ming, and the incarnation of Tyson and King Kong. According to the descriptions of various storytelling, this giant can defeat all the heroes and heroes with one enemy, and no one in the world is its opponent. This person is simply a fierce macho man!
As everyone knows, the Big Mac is not only invincible in the world, but the "beast" army he leads is even more terrifying.
There are also a few pieces of music that express similar meanings, and there are many places where *** happens, these victims have no food to eat, they can only eat tree bark, grass leaves, bark, grass leaves, and eat each other's people after eating.
Wang An read the instructions, and the new ancestor Wang Mang issued an edict of 3,000 deed knives and 500 relief to Qingzhou Lu Mu, Fan Chong, Jingzhou Nanjun,
This made him frown, six thousand deed knives and five hundred are only thirty-five thousand baht, and it is estimated that there are not a few left, which is a drop in the bucket.
Just like in the fourth year of the new dynasty, there was a famine in Qingzhou, and Wang Mang sent Zhao Yincheng, the imperial historian, to bring 125,000 baht to relieve the disaster.
As a result, when they arrived at the locality, they were exploited layer by layer, and less than one-third of them were actually used for disaster relief.
With such corruption, it is no wonder that the peasant uprisings in Qingzhou continued.
The new ancestor Wang Mang wanted Zhu Cihong to recognize the reality, so he said: "Emperor, what do you think of these songs? ”
Wang An said: "The emperor has seen these notes, and the root cause is actually a lack of money. ”
The new ancestor Wang Mang nodded, very satisfied with Wang An's ability to see the problem with a sharp point.
Seeing that the new ancestor Wang Mang agreed, Wang An continued: "The emperor believes that if the treasury wants to increase its wealth, it should be open source, such as encouraging business and collecting commercial taxes, but it cannot do things such as killing chickens and taking eggs. ”
In addition, it is possible to consider appropriately raising the status of merchants, allowing merchants to donate knights, etc., which can also increase the financial income of the national treasury.
Speaking of this, Wang An paused, glanced at the new ancestor, and continued: "The imperial court can also issue paper money and a unified currency to increase currency. ”
After listening to Wang An's words, the new ancestor Wang Mang's mouth opened slightly, and he was surprised, is this a fourteen-year-old boy able to say it? Isn't this the same thing I thought, worthy of my son?
The new patriarch Wang Mang was not until he was fifty-two years old before he could think of unifying the currency and issuing new coins to increase currency, but his son thought of it at the age of fourteen.
However, the new ancestor Wang Mang smiled and said, "Emperor, it is already extraordinary for you to have this insight at a young age, but the two points you said are really difficult to do.
The collection of commercial taxes has moved too many wealthy families, and I also intend to collect them, but those civil officials and wealthy businessmen do not agree, so I have no choice but to abolish it.
As for the issuance of banknotes you mentioned, I issued 500 deed knives, but not many people used them, and the public resentment was boiling, and now I don't know how many people are still scolding me.
"Your Majesty, the emperor has some superficial suggestions on this, paper money can not be rotten to issue, how much the issuance needs to be based on some physical objects, such as gold, silver, if too much, the country will not be able to recycle, paper money will depreciate."
Wang An saw that the new ancestor nodded a little perfunctorily, and was not very interested, so he continued helplessly: "I have expanded my territory, but in general, there are only four kinds of disasters, one is waterlogging; the second is drought; the third is natural disasters; Fourth, man-made disasters.
To put it simply, the south should clean up rivers, strengthen embankments, and reduce waterlogging; In the north, water should be diverted for irrigation and more wells should be dug; When it comes to natural disasters, we are beyond our control, but the treasury needs to be rich in money and food, and we can still do certain remedies;
Finally, when it comes to man-made disasters, that is, those officials who embezzle project funds, disaster relief funds, and arbitrarily raise taxes to force the people to rebel, there is only one way for these people, that is, kill! ”
Speaking of this, Wang An said loudly with a murderous look on his face: "If you don't kill, it's not enough for the people to be angry, if you don't kill, it's not enough to clean up the officialdom, if you don't kill, it's not enough to calm the anger of His Majesty the Emperor, if you don't kill, it's not enough to return a prosperous Yongle world!" ”
When Wang An finished saying the four words 'kill', the palace was quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.
When the new ancestor Wang Mang heard this, his heart was shocked, and he looked at Wang An in surprise.
Not only him, but even Xu Jia and several other eunuchs on duty didn't expect that a child who was only fourteen years old with the might of a king could actually say such cruel words, with such a murderous intent.
The new ancestor patted Wang An lightly and said, "I will think about these ideas of the emperor, the emperor has grown up." ”
Wang An was praised by the new ancestor Wang Mang, and Wang An felt that the new ancestor Wang Mang was not interested in his suggestion, which made him very helpless.
Now I can only do my best to obey the destiny of God, I hope there can be a change, the key is to rely on yourself.
