In any era, in everything, the fundamentals are the same.

If you want to promote the development of something, then you must have the first batch of people to support you, set an example for more people, and then have a chain effect, so that more people can support you.

Naturally, what Li Hong wants to do, the first thing he needs to get support is the courtiers, and then the dragon mother, the royal family and the wealthy families in the palace, etc., and in the end, it is the people who have been talked about by the rulers, but never remembered.

In Li Hong's view, the reform of slavery is absolutely impossible to be carried out in one step, and he is not naïve to hold that hope, even if the places headed by Chang'an, Luoyang and other places can completely give land resources to the reformed slaves, it does not mean that other remote places, in the case of the imperial whip, can be as thoroughly improved as Chang'an and Luoyang.

Therefore, he expected that with the reform of slavery, from the least liberated slavery freedom and household registration, I am afraid that a group of hired peasants will emerge in the local area.

The reason for this result is nothing more than the lack of farming tools in the slavery after liberation, and the fact that there are few fields, so they have to rely on the local tyrants in order to make a living, and then work long and short.

But even if such a situation occurs, it is a meaningful step for Li Hong, at least, his original goal, so that everyone has the right to own their own lives, and this goal has been achieved.

As for the next step, it can only be taken one step at a time, and the exposure of the problem will slowly improve over time.

Li Chuyuan's matter, because of the reconciliation of the queen mother Wu Mei and the participation of Uncle Ji Wang, made Li Chuyuan depressed at the same time, but also had to accept his fate.

What's more, she doesn't care very much about the number of slaves and maids and the number of fields, but more about the family status and prestige of her county lord, how can she allow Yanbo to provoke?

But those are all family matters, Li Hong is still Wu Mei, there is no need to pay attention to it, after all, even Uncle Ji Wang heard that his daughter was dissatisfied because of something, and he ran away, and the old arms and legs were much sharper than usual.

Li Lingyue was naturally the first to know about this, after all, she was in charge of "The World", so Li Hong's meaning was the first to understand, and the most thorough understanding was also her Li Lingyue and Shangguan Wan'er.

The two difficult bones of the royal family and the courtiers, after Li Shen, the king of Ji, who has a high prestige in the royal family, clearly supports them, there is no longer any resistance.

Above the court, the officials of the three provinces and six ministries immediately began to respond positively after their superiors had unconditionally supported His Majesty's restructuring, so in Li Hong's view, these two areas were the most likely to be obstructed, but they were beyond imagination.

Even Lian Long's mother Wu Mei, after seeing that she personally got the recital of the ministers and royal relatives of her Penglai Palace, she was also satisfied with the recital, and sighed: rare, rare, rare.

"Your Majesty......." Wang Lou looked at the Tang Emperor who was talking to the Empress Dowager in awe, and after stopping talking several times, he finally spoke. 
"What? Not gone yet? Li Hong sat opposite Wu Mei, glanced at Wang Lou, who was not too afraid of himself compared to before, and asked.

"I didn't leave, now in the Xuanzheng Palace, I let out the words, and if I can't see Your Majesty, they won't leave." Wang Lou carefully considered the words and said.

"Who are you hiding from me? I also said that you have filial piety, so I accompanied the palace to sit idle in this Penglai Hall all morning. Wu Mei glanced at Wang Lou, and then said lightly.

"I'm an emperor, who else do I have to hide from in the Tang Dynasty? If you want to say that there is, it is only the queen mother. Li Hong waved his hand, let Wang Lou leave, those old guys like to sit, let them sit, it's a big deal that the court meeting won't open tomorrow.

Wang Lou was about to leave, but was retained by Wu Mei's words: "Who is waiting for him in the Xuanzheng Palace?" Because of what, you know? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's ......."

"The two old men of the Kong and Yan families, Kong Yuan and Yan Yude, it seems that there are a few old guys who are about the same age as Yan Yude, and a few old guys from Hongru Daxian, I don't know what to do with me." Li Hong rubbed his somewhat uncomfortable temples and said.

"They? That Yan Yude is not in his eighties and nineties now? Wu Mei put down the piece in her hand that Li Hong asked her to see just now, and said carefully.

"But no, you said that such a person does not live at home for a long time, and runs to the court to ......."

"Is it because of slavery? Or something else? Wu Mei interrupted Li Hong's complaint and asked.

"I don't know, but I guess slavery has both. Before coming to you, I listened to Hua Mengnian muttering a few words, what kind of Huayi distinction do you want to argue, what era is this, and I want to repeat the old tune. Li Hong shook his head, he wouldn't be stupid enough to argue with these old antiques about the rule of virtue and benevolence.

That thing has never been popular in the Tang Dynasty, and now with the stabilization of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, after the disintegration of the five surnames and seven hopes, the regional form has become a sharp contradiction, so these old antiques are not used to the orthodoxy of Chinese civilization outside the Central Plains, so they want to stick to the Central Plains.

This is completely contrary to his strategy over the years, and his expansion over the years is to put aside their Confucian Huayi distinction, and then let more people regard themselves as the Tang civilization, so as to make the Tang Dynasty more influential, and they are not all the way, so there is no need to see them.

In the pre-Qin and even Han dynasties, Huayi's distinction did promote the development and spread of Central Plains culture, but in China's modern history, it has become an obstacle to modernization.

The distinction between Huayi and barbarian is differentiated. The Chinese ethnic group lives in the Central Plains and is the center of civilization, while the surrounding areas are relatively backward, so the concept of distinguishing groups of people with civilization and etiquette as the standard has gradually emerged.

"Spring and Autumn Left Transmission of Justice, Ten Years of Dinggong": "China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua". Distinguish groups of people based on culture and civilization, not race, and those who conform to Chinese etiquette and civilization, or Xia, Huaxia, and Chinese. Those who do not agree are razed, or barbarians and outsiders.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes were hegemonic, and Confucius proposed to respect the king and carry forward the cultural righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period. If the state of Chu claims to be a barbarian, and then civilization advances, and the princes of the Central Plains will ally with it, they will no longer regard it as a barbarian. And Zheng Guo was originally a Zhuxia, and if his behavior was not in accordance with righteousness, he was also regarded as Yidi.

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong's impatience and unwelcome appearance, and after thinking about it carefully, she said, "Judging from the current form of my Datang, wouldn't this be good?" The responsibility of educating the people should have been in our Tang Dynasty, distinguishing between China and barbarians, and retaining the ...... of Chinese civilization. ”

"What's the use of that? Erchen has let Confucianism go out over the years, which is to let more people in the exotic tribes of Fanbang be plagued by Confucianism, so that such ideas are rooted in their thoughts and blood, can I, the ruler, also be fooled by them, right? Li Hong was indignant, he finally came out of the current situation, seeing that it was the harvest season, these old things hurriedly ran out, and he didn't know whether he wanted to get a piece of the pie, or felt that he had spread their Confucianism, so he ran to find himself in distress, hoping to take back his fate.

Wu Mei obviously did not know the judgment of Confucian culture in later generations like Li Hong, so in her opinion, now the four seas are leveling, even in Anxi, Andong, Annan and other places, the tribes of the foreign Fanbang are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they all respect Li Hong as the emperor.

So at this time, if you distinguish Huaxia from the barbarians in your own home, wouldn't you also be able to rule and manage better? After all, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are also considered to be the foundation of the country, so if they spread so widely, will they be used by others?

"What the sons want is integration, recognition, and real unification. Confucianism is not an encouraging spread of culture, and it cannot build a protective umbrella for them on a piece of soil, but should go out like these years, and the identity and integration of culture is the foundation of the real rule of our Tang Dynasty. Li Hong sighed helplessly, even the dragon mother can't see through this layer, the whole nation has worked hard for all these years, if it doesn't stick to it, I'm afraid it will really be hopeless.

Think about the American imperialism in the previous life, and then think about the two hundred and five virtues of Confucianism, there are completely two positive and negative.

The U.S. imperialists are willing to share their literature, culture, democracy, laws, freedoms, equality, rights, and so on with the whole world, in an attempt to conquer the whole world with their powerful economy and culture, so they don't care that these so-called cultures are learned and applied by others.

Does this seemingly generous and almost defenseless attitude really show that US imperialism is like a saint and a good man?

No, they just indoctrinate us with their culture, and they are even willing to impose it on others, but they are about absolutely safe, high-end things, why don't they take them out and share them?

On the contrary, Confucianism is unwilling to give away their books and commentaries to others, or even as treasures and not easy to show others, but for things like science and technology, in their eyes, the so-called strange skills and tricks, they are willing to give them away generously.

This kind of loser behavior is the real loser in Li Hong's view, and the reason why Li Hong disintegrated the five surnames and seven hopes and drove them out of the Central Plains is to follow the example of the American imperialists, so that the culture of the Tang Dynasty can be recognized in the surroundings, thus influencing them to think that it is their own culture.

The united front of culture is far more lethal than the iron horse and horse lance, even if the Tang Dynasty perishes in the future, presumably those foreign Fanbang tribes who have accepted the Chinese culture will also agree that their culture is Chinese culture, which is more than the concept of the country that Li Hong is willing to pursue.

(ps: It's been too long to change, it's late, and the foreshadowing is a little long, and even so, the next story won't be too strong, but it doesn't seem right to jump over without saying it.) Alas....... ）
