Chapter 15: Wang Mang of the Too Young, Too Simple Tucson (Part II)

I don't know if Wang Mang knows what Wang Shu said, at this time, Wang Shu heard an angry shout in his ear: "Shut up, you have never taken care of the family business, and you have not served in the court, you don't know that the situation is difficult, but today you dare to teach the old man a lesson?" Okay, okay, then let me tell you, the collapse of etiquette caused the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, you just read a Analects, and you talked about "Zhou Guan", do you know how many acres of land are occupied by wealthy families in various places now, and how many people have become unemployed vagrants, and it is not uncommon to sell wives and children, and there are even rioters and troublemakers. In addition, the merchants monopolized the salt and tea trade, and there were not a few people who took advantage of the loans, if I restored the "Zhou Guan" etiquette system, released the slaves and maids, recovered the surplus land of the wealthy families, restored the well fields, and severely punished the merchants, I could naturally give the people wealth! ”

Although Wang Shu can see a lot of people wandering on the streets of Xindu every day, for him from later generations, he has always thought that this is normal, but it will be strange if there are fewer people on the street one day, as for commodity monopoly and private usury, it is naturally not new, as for the peasants to go bankrupt, and finally sell their sons and daughters in the future will not be in the future. However www.biquge.info I thought that this was the Western Han Dynasty, where industry and commerce were extremely underdeveloped, and once the peasants lost their land and had no other way to live, it was inevitable that they would become robbers. I just didn't think that my father would come up with such a bad idea from "Zhou Li", no wonder later generations said that Wang Mang's reform was to offend everyone in the world, including slaves, peasants, merchants, wealthy families and officials, and his father's idea said that the implicit point was too young, too simple Tucson broken, and it was not good to say, not just two hundred and five.

Today's Wang Shu completely understands that Wang Mang is a traverser like himself, and Liu Xiu is the son of the plane who has opened the hanging, all of them are bullshit! If a person offends everyone in the world, not only will no one be conscientious, but they will also betray their relatives like Yuan Shikai in later generations, and the end will naturally be very miserable, even if he becomes the emperor Laozi, the result will be difficult to escape. Now that he already knows what is going on with his father Wang Mang, he naturally won't let him go all the way to the dark.

So Wang Shu said to Wang Mang: "Father, please let the son verify his father's statement, if it is correct, let the father punish him, if it is not correct, the son is willing to ask the father to think twice." "Actually, what Wang Shu doesn't know is that if Wang Mang's temper is followed, it's good not to order someone to beat him out, but now Wang Shu has given him a lot of face no matter what, so that's why I told him so much. Hearing that Wang Shu still wants to verify it, Wang Mang is really angry and happy, this kid really doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he still verifies it? These things can only be carried out if he returns to the court, but seeing his son's stubborn temper, he imagined it very much, and thought of the eight filial piety plans he made, and inevitably had the feeling of licking the calf, so he said to him: "How do you want to verify, although the father is still the new marquis, but he can't leave the house, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Shu said: "Father, the son compares the Hou Mansion to my big man, and the father asks everyone in the family to gather in one place, and the son first verifies what the father said about the release of slaves and maids, the recovery of surplus land, the restoration of the well fields, and the crackdown on the merchants. Wang Mang was also surprised when he heard his son say this, so he ordered Wang Xing to gather the old lady, the queen mother, the concubine Huineng, his three sons and all the slaves and maids in the family. Wang Mang briefly told the old lady, the queen mother and Huai Neng about what happened, and as for the slaves and maids, they didn't know what was going on, and they were very nervous for a while.

When everyone arrived, Wang Shu cleared his throat and said: "The new capital marquis mansion is temporarily under my control, and I will do a few things after consulting my father today, first, only thirty slaves and maids will be kept in the family, and the rest will be released as people; 2. The Marquis of Xindu took out 1,000 households of food estates, which were cultivated by slaves and maids from outside, and this field was not allowed to be resold or subleased; 3. All members of the family, including grandmothers, will be halved every month; Fourth, Cang San opened a business with Huang Guang and Lai Wu, and from today onwards, the profits will be handed over to the Hou Mansion. Do you have any comments? ”

Hearing Wang Shu say this, he blew up on the spot, not only did the slaves and maids at the bottom kneel down a large area, but even the old lady, the queen mother and others were stunned when they heard Wang Shu say this, as for Wang Yu's brother, if Wang Mang was not still present, it is estimated that the fist would have greeted Wang Shou's face a long time ago, just like that, the fourth brother Wang Lin still snuggled in his mother's arms, pointed at Wang Shu and said: "Bad brother, deduct my monthly money, mother, don't let him deduct it well." Wang Shu didn't care about this, pointed to Cangsan, Cangba, Chunxing, and Chuxia and said: "You have been following me for a while, and you know my temperament, and it is for your good to let you out, what are you kneeling for, get up, take your things and go." ”

Hearing Wang Shu say this, these slaves and maids cried at that time: "Young master, where do you let us go, what can we do when we go out?" Don't you hate us anymore, then we can't change it, but don't drive us away, if we go out, it's a dead end! Hearing Cang San's crying, most of the slaves and maids present at that time cried bitterly, begging Wang Mang not to let the second young master drive him away, even Huai Neng knelt down at Wang Mang, although he didn't speak, his eyes were already red. As soon as Wang Shu saw that there was a door, he said: "This is the grace of our new capital marquis mansion to you, go out and have land to plant, why are you still crying here, what is it for?" ”

Cang San has been with Wang for a long time, and his courage is naturally a year older, so he opened his mouth first: "Young master, although we are slaves, but the Hou Mansion has never been harsh on us, we have no worries about food and clothing, if we go out, first, we can't plant this land, and second, we can farm, but we don't have extra money to buy farm tools and seeds, isn't it a death to go out?" When Wang Shu heard Cang San say this, he asked who else said the same thing as Cang San, and it turned out that sixty or seventy percent of the slaves and maids meant the same thing. Wang Shu said, "You all get up first, and I will discuss this matter with my father." Hearing Wang Shu say this, all the slaves and maids felt that things could still change, and naturally expressed their gratitude.

Wang Shu said to Lai Wu again: "Lai Wu, your business profits will be handed over to the Hou Mansion fifty percent from today, are you willing?" Lai Wu didn't know what Wang Shu thought, but he was naturally the weaker party in partnership with Wang Shu in business, so he said: "The second young master has orders, and he obeys all orders." Wang Shu said: "I still have a request, your business must open another one in Wancheng within a year, can you do it?" Lai Wu had no choice, and said hesitantly: "Second Young Master, in this way, I'm afraid that Senior Brother Huang and I won't be able to do it day and night." Seeing Lai Wu say this, Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said loudly to everyone: "I asked my father for the housekeeper's errand, and my father was not at ease, so he asked me to practice first, but it seems that everyone is not satisfied, so I should not find out about this matter, why should everyone go." Hearing Wang Shou say this, countless praises such as "Hou Ye is wise" and "Hou Ye is mighty" flew to Wang Mang, making Wang Mang blush.

Wang Shu turned to Wang Mang and said, "Father, the verification has been completed, and the son will explain in detail to his father later." "Wang Mang so far, although Shicheng understands two or three percent, but more joints are not clear, so let Huai Neng get up from the ground, wave his sleeves and turn around to go to the study, Wang Shu naturally followed behind like a fart. Although everyone present didn't know what was going on, since they didn't have to be released, and there was no need to reduce the monthly case, they naturally left happily.

After entering the study, without waiting for Wang Mang to say anything, Wang Shu struck while the iron was hot and explained: "Father also saw that sixty or seventy percent of the slaves and maids in our family are willing to stay in the house because they can't farm, and as for the other slaves and maids, even if they go out, they are facing a situation where they have no money to use; is to become a peasant, because the land is not allowed to be resold or subleased, and it will be difficult to live, so the article that my father said about releasing slaves and maids is really not advisable; Also, if the crackdown on merchants is too harsh, it can only cut off the trade routes; I also regarded my grandmother, mother, aunt and brothers as officials and wealthy families, and used the moon reduction example to represent the recovery of farm property, but my father also saw that this is still our family, if it is extended to the whole world, not only will it make the livelihood of slaves, farmers, and businessmen difficult, not to mention, the key is that it will also offend all the officials and wealthy families in the world, so this fact cannot be done. ”

Wang Mang pondered for a long time, then slowly got up, walked to the bookcase where "Zhou Li" was placed, put his hand on the bookcase, and sighed: "Alas, could it be that "Zhou Guan" will also be wrong? Then my big man is in danger, and my big man is in danger! Wang Shu saw that Wang Mang was hit by his denial of "Zhou Li", and decided to encourage his father, so he said: "Father, there is nothing wrong with "Zhou Guan", what is wrong is the person who reads "Zhou Guan", it is better to believe in books than no books, you must know that "Zhou Guan" was made by Zhou Gong a thousand years ago, although the spirit in it is still desirable, but there are inevitably mistakes in it, please think about it, King Fa Xian and Fa Hou Wang are two completely different thoughts, but what they say makes sense, Therefore, the son thinks that he should take the essence of any book and discard the dross, which is also the greatest feeling of the son when he reads the Analects. ”

In order not to let him be disheartened because of the denial of "Zhou Li", Wang Shu tried his best at this time, but it was not until the evening that with Wang Shu's persuasion, Wang Mang finally regained his spirits. Holding Han Dynasty Exchange Group: 577833544, welcome to join.
