It's really time to say goodbye to Xindu, that is, excited and nervous, mixed with confusion and even a little fear, a variety of indescribable feelings have always lingered, so the night before departure, Wang Shu didn't sleep all night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It wasn't until he said goodbye to the people who saw him off that this feeling became stronger and stronger on the way to Chang'an, just like riding a bicycle alone before he had fully learned how to ride a bicycle, that he realized that he was not fully prepared for whether he could change the tragic fate of the Western Han Dynasty and Wang Mang, and even had some thoughts of escaping the upcoming facts.

It is easy to say that this sentence is easy to say, but in Wang Shu's opinion, it is difficult to go to the sky, there is no way, if the father really wants to be promoted to Taibo and Zai Heng as said in history, and then become the emperor and the emperor, it is estimated that he not only wants to be a gentleman It is difficult, but also has to die before the age of forty.

Soon after leaving the new capital, there are few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally only a few caravans can be seen, but there are many people working in the fields, but it seems that they are all slaves and maids working for the landlord's family, not to mention that these people are in rags, who has ever seen a few overseers with leather whips who are plowing their own fields and followed by a few overseers with leather whips?

Seeing this Wang Shu's mood is much better, today's society is no different from a tea case full of cups, that is, he let Wang Mang hide under the wing of Wang Zhengjun and do nothing, and the Western Han Dynasty Guozuo will not be able to do anything in the long run, rather than this, it is better to fight it yourself and see if you can change the fate of Wang Mang, the Wang family and even everyone in the Han Dynasty.

It is also said that no matter how much the historians of later dynasties smeared Wang Mang, the reality of political corruption, mediocre officials, and the dislocation of the people and the hardship of the people due to the annexation of land by the powerful landlords in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty is clearly recorded in the history books.

To say that the officials of the Western Han Dynasty are mediocre and incompetent, many people may not believe it, but the facts are written as clearly as black and white, not to mention, take Shi Dan, who was once the prince and the prince, for example, after Liu Xin succeeded to the throne, he first took charge of Shangshushi, and later replaced Wang Mang as the great Sima, and then transferred to the great Sikong.

It stands to reason that Shi Dan should be an all-round talent who understands economics, politics, and military affairs, but for Liu Xin, this product is actually a tease invited by a monkey.

Not to mention that Shi Dan asked the secretary to write the recital on his behalf, but the secretary leaked the content of the recital, the key is that Shi Dan forgot who was his leader after becoming the third duke, and he went against Liu Xin if he had nothing to do.

When Liu Xingang succeeded to the throne, someone once wrote that the common people thought it was very good to replace tortoise shells and shells as currency, but since the change to copper coins, the common people have become poor, and it is recommended that the Son of Heaven use shell coins instead. Liu Xin asked Shi Dan's opinion, but Shi Dan's brain was opened, and the answer was: It must be changed!

Of course, the Son of Heaven was very happy to hear the teacher say this, there are shells on the seaside, as long as the copper money is changed to shells, the common people will all become 10,000 households, how good is this. As a result, two words were immediately given: feasible. Then hand it over to the competent government office for implementation.

But these officials were dumbfounded when they received the task, where is this, and hurriedly wrote to the emperor to say that this thing could not be done, and then something unexpected appeared, and Shi Dan felt that the opinions of the ministers were also very right, not only echoing the opinions of the ministers, but also writing to the emperor with righteous indignation to retract the order, so that the current day was regarded as two hundred and five.

Wang Shu once discussed this matter with Wang Mang, of course, he couldn't say that Shi Dan was a tease at that time, but he just explained to his father that the currency reform must be cautious, although he didn't understand the concept of money very well, but money is a sign of the credibility of the imperial court, which still made Dad accept.

The reason why I told my father these things is because Wang Mang not only issued large-denomination bronze coins after ********, but also got out the turtle coins, shell coins, cloth coins, and spring coins that had long been eliminated, and as a result, it brought great difficulties to social and economic life and the circulation of goods.

In fact, compared to Shi Dan, many officials in the Han Dynasty are not much better, it is normal to say, now the officials in the Chang'an court rarely have local and grassroots political experience, one by one is usually high, five people and six people, but they can't recognize the people's suffering, most of the decrees can only be made according to the correspondence between various places or patting the brain, and the results can be imagined.

…………

There are two roads from Xindu to Chang'an, one is to go straight to Chang'an by taking the city, and the other is to go to Wancheng and then to Chang'an, Wang Shu and his party chose the latter road.

Of course, the detour to Wancheng was not to visit Shangguan Yufeng, since he knew the intentions of the little junior sister and the master's mother, and after carrying the letter written by the teacher to his father to agree on the marriage date between himself and Kong Yuyan, his life and death have nothing to do with Wang Shu.

The reason why he wanted to go to Wancheng before going to Chang'an was mainly because before leaving, Wang Shu suddenly remembered Li Tong, the richest man in Wancheng, and you must know that Liu Xiu changed from a grain seller to the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has a great relationship with Li Tong.

It is recorded in the history books that this Li Tong doesn't know whether there is water in his head or what, he wants to rebel and rebel, who knows that he will rely on a sentence "Liu's revival, Li is supplemented" on Liu Xiu's water, if it weren't for his persuasion, it is estimated that Liu Xiu would at most develop into the largest food supplier of the Han Dynasty instead of becoming the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Wang Shu wanted to see what the origin of this speculator who was rated by Fan Ye as "rampant and unruly, defiled his relatives", and used the opportunity of the world's **** to seek fame for himself.

When I arrived in Wancheng, I asked countless people, but no one knew that there was Li Tong, a huge rich man, and it was only then that Wang Shu realized that he was wrong again, although Li Tong's age was not recorded in the history books, but his age should be very young, otherwise Liu Xiu would not have married his sister Liu Boji, who only appeared last year and is now less than a year old.

In other words, even if he can find this Gushi Marquis recorded in history, he is just a nursing baby now, just think about it.

Who knew that when he was about to leave the city, he saw a group of people around the city gate, Liao Wenfei stepped forward to inquire and found out that it was a true disciple who claimed to be the master of physiognomy Xu Cheng who showed his magical powers on the street, and asked Wang Xu if he was interested in letting this fifth-generation successor of Xu Cheng named Cai Shaogong give him face.

You must know that this Xu Cheng was regarded as an auspicious omen by Qin Shi Huang as soon as he was born, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and was named Ming Female Pavilion Hou by Liu Bang, who once predicted that Bo Ji would be born as the Son of Heaven, Zhou Yafu would be the Marquis, and Deng Tong would be poor and starved to death.

But as soon as he heard that it was Cai Shaogong, Wang Shu lost interest at that time.

History clearly records that Cai Shaogong is a master of diagrams, when did face-to-face and diagrams become a profession?

Don't ask, it's another one who, like the gods Li and Wang in later generations, is just some charlatans.
