Qingzhou Imperial Capital Yuancheng!

Since Wang Mang returned to the imperial capital and led the court politics, the leaders of the major families gathered together under the leadership of Wang Mang to carry out disaster relief matters in an orderly manner.

His more than 8 million denier hoards of grain and countless emergency herbs were distributed throughout Kyushu, and countless soldiers went into battle shirtless, struggling to open the main transportation routes and clear the rescue routes.

At the same time, in order to show his determination to provide disaster relief, he ordered that all civil and military officials in the imperial court should not be extravagant and wasteful, and those who violated the order would be severely punished.

The Huo family had talked with Wang Mang before, and the two sides reached many unknown agreements. Now every time Wang Mang gives an order, the Huo family takes the lead in supporting it and resolutely implements it to the end, all of which are followed.

Although the Wei family had never talked to Wang Mang in secret, they had a good understanding with Wang Mang, and they also reached an agreement subconsciously, and they cooperated with Wang Mang's decree very much.

After Wang Mang's frugal instructions were conveyed, everyone in the Wuhou General's Mansion represented by him set an example and only served two meals a day, morning and evening.

Of course, although Wang Mang has absolute authority at the moment, most people dare not oppose it, but there are always exceptions.

In addition to Huo Wei's two families in the imperial capital, there are other noble families, and these families have some arrogance, yin and yang disobey Wang Mang's orders, and refuse to accept Wang Mang's frugal will.

These families who dared to disobey Wang Mang's orders had some proud capital, and they had enough food to cope with the difficulties.

Their hoarding of food was not of much use in the previous days, but at this juncture of natural disasters, they played a major role, and they could be proud of the crowd and bewitch the hearts of the army.

These families are still the same as they were at the beginning, with more than 100 kinds of delicacies for each meal, and they are extravagant and wasteful, and their extravagant style has not changed.

These people thought that what I ate was my own family anyway, and no matter how powerful Wang Mang was, he couldn't control me. They all thought that Wang Mang would not dare to do this to himself.

For this kind of thing, Wang Mang changed his previous benevolent style, no longer soft-hearted, and directly ordered the extermination of three of the most arrogant families. In order to kill chickens and monkeys, deter other families, and show determination.

Troubled times use heavy codes.

The royal road is the main thing, and the domineering is supplemented!

This was originally Shangguan Ningxuan's first instilled in Wang Mang's idea of governance, and at this moment, Wang Mang fully brought this thought into play.

When Wang Mang wiped out hundreds of people from the three major families in full view, the other families finally knew that they were powerful and did not dare to disobey Wang Mang's will again.

In addition to vigorously promoting thrift to fight natural disasters, Wang Mang also called on wealthy families to donate waste clothes and fabrics to the affected people.

This time, natural disasters befell Kyushu, not only earthquakes, floods, droughts and other disasters, but also extremely cold weather.

I don't know how many times more severe this severe cold weather is than in previous years, and the lowest temperature has reached more than minus 30 degrees, making it almost difficult for people to survive.

The people affected by the disaster in the severe cold areas did not have sufficient clothing to withstand the cold, and many of them froze to death during the day and night.

Wang Mang thought that although those rich and noble families did not have enough food, they had a lot of clothes, and these clothes were of good texture and could fully resist the cold.

Wang Mang thought that instead of hiding these clothes in the wardrobes of the rich and noble, it was better to use them and distribute them to the people.

Of course, the thrifty government ordered him to forcibly promote it, but he couldn't forcibly promote the donation of clothes, so he could only donate spontaneously.

Wang Jingyan and Shangguan Ningxuan traveled to the rich and noble houses in the imperial capital for this matter, and communicated with those rich ladies and ladies. At the same time, the two daughters also set an example by donating most of their clothes, wearing only old clothes that have been sewn for many years.

Once, when a powerful person from outside Qingzhou came to Beijing to see Wang Mang, this magnate saw that Wang Jingyan was dressed plainly and dressed like a people's girl, and at first he thought that Wang Jingyan was a certain maid in the Wuhou General's Mansion, not the hostess of the General's Mansion.

There is a shortage of food and cloth materials, and Wang Mang is constantly looking for other ways in the face of these difficulties.

Based on his memories from later generations, he called on the people to go to the wild mountains and forests to find edible things to cope with the food shortage.

Regarding the shortage of cloth materials, he also took a different approach, calling for clothing reform.

Now Kyushu is full of natural disasters, extreme weather is divided, hot places are hot, and cold places are bitingly cold. Faced with this situation, Wang Mang carried out another sweeping clothing reform.

The clothing reform he promoted was also an experience in his later memory, in which he changed the original clothing style of long shirts and long skirts to short shirts and short skirts.

He then transported the cloth and clothing saved from the clothing reform to the bitter cold regions for those who really needed clothing to tide over the bitter cold.

For example, the long gown worn by men has been changed to a modern version of the shirt, and the long skirt worn by women has been changed to a short skirt.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the reform of men's clothing, but the reform of women's clothing has caused quite a stir when it is promoted.

Because in that era, women's reputation for chastity was particularly important, and ordinary women wore short skirts that showed their legs, even if they went out a few more times, they would be gossiped about and thought that it was detrimental to Joan of Arc.

Now the short skirt reform promoted by Wang Mang has conflicted with the people's thinking, causing many contradictions.

For this contradiction, Wang Mang couldn't forcibly reverse the people's views, he just put on the revised short skirt and let Wang Jingyan wear the cigarette head one by one, and then led Wang Jingyan in a short skirt to walk around the street hand in hand, so as to promote it and dispel the concerns of the people.

Wang Jingyan is everyone's best girl, and she has always abided by the three obedience and four virtues. Now Wang Mang asked her to wear a short skirt that showed her legs, and she had to wear it on the street. At first, Wang Jingyan naturally refused to Wang Mang's request, thinking that Wang Mang's approach was very inappropriate.

But after Wang Mang's continuous persuasion and continuous indoctrination of all kinds of strange thoughts, she finally couldn't continue to insist on her own views and obeyed Wang Mang's arrangement.

Of course, it's special to experiment with this vocabulary.

Since Wang Jingyan tried to wear a short skirt, she found that the short skirt was actually more comfortable to wear than the long skirt, and the overall aesthetic effect was better.

With Wang Jingyan's personal experiment and promotion of clothing reform, the top magnates in the imperial capital have slowly changed their attitudes and are trying.

Especially those ladies and ladies, they all agreed that the short skirt worn by Wang Jingyan was indeed good-looking, very attractive, and could greatly increase personal charm.

They were moved and eager to try, so these rich ladies tried to wear short skirts in a small area and tried to promote it.

Things have always changed from small to big, and their small-scale promotion has suddenly expanded countless times under Wang Mang's management.

In the end, it became almost fashionable for women to wear short skirts, a symbol of aristocratic status.

When promoting, Wang Mang did not forget to encourage him spiritually. He called on women to observe the three virtues and the four virtues should be carried out from the heart, not from the outside.

Reform, reform, reform.

In order to cope with natural disasters and help the people better survive difficult times, Wang Mang promoted one reform after another.

In this process of reform, Wang Jingyan and Shi Xiuying almost became victims and became the first experimental objects of reform. And Shangguan Ningxuan, Han Fei'er, Yin Rong and other women have become the first controllers behind the scenes.
