Those with vested interests in Luoyang City are eager to kill this Liao Li who jumped out without permission to make trouble. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zhao Yun's terrifying ability was displayed, Zhao Meng, who was still smiling, couldn't help but shudder.

No one could have imagined how long the Zhao family had only been in sight, and when they had jumped to such a high level unconsciously.

What I regret even more is Liu Biao, when I went out to flee, I met this posterity, and I often saw him fighting with his tongue, and I didn't know what was going on, so I took him back to the capital.

This incident can be big or small As for the Zhao family, I believe it will not be pursued again. As the saying goes: Killing people is not too much, and depriving people of their vitality is worse than killing people.

When the Han Dynasty was founded, various systems were a little chaotic, and Liu Bang was not a learned person.

An army depends on how its first general develops the corresponding temperament, but a country does not, and the emperor needs to constantly listen to the opinions of all strata of society, which are essentially wealthy families, to govern the country.

The Qin Dynasty took advantage of the Legalist system and died, so naturally the Han Dynasty could not follow.

Somehow, a group of people in the early Han Dynasty proposed to recuperate, and they actually believed in Huang Lao's technique, and the Daomen raised their heads.

Later, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began, Dong Zhongshu began to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism, and the law was chaotic.

Walking on the road, Zhao Yun was very dazed, he didn't know what to do in the future if he obtained the right to rule this country, maybe he was cautious before, and with the deepening of his skills, he acted a little freewheeling.

At this moment, Zhao Yun had ambition in his heart. Seeing the very mediocre Emperor Han Ling, he was very disgusted and wanted to replace him, but he also understood that the road had to be taken step by step.

As for Liao Li, he has long been left behind, a trivial matter, he is just showing his strength.

In any case, even if the emperor of a country wants to kill a person, he has to follow the law.

In the previous life, even if there were some official positions, the law was much more sound than in this era.

The country is in shambles, and all the systems have become a dead letter under the power.

Somehow, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered Wang Mang's restructuring.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the power of the clan was suppressed, and after his death, various control policies were relaxed, and the successive emperors were weak.

The economic closure of the Shizu clique has seriously hindered the flow of commodities, made it impossible to unleash the productive forces, posed a political threat to the centralized power, and could breed the power to subvert the regime at any time.

Wang Mang's change of law claims to be a reform of the ancient system - the Chinese have always believed that the present is not as good as the ancient, and the predecessors are smarter than the present.

However, from a policy point of view, he did not want to change back to the distant Zhou Dynasty, and the goal of the reform was actually the Han Wudi-Sang Hongyang model.

His reforms were largely centered around the three core issues that affected the macroeconomy: finance, money, and land.

In the second year of Wang Mang's accession to the throne, he launched five equals and six baskets.

The so-called Wujun is to set up Wujun officials in the six major cities of Chang'an, Luoyang, Handan, Linzi, Wan, and Chengdu.

Their work, first, is to adjust and level prices on a regular basis, which is called market level.

The second is to control the supply of the market, when the market goods are unsalable, they will be purchased at a low price, and when the price of goods rises, they will be sold at a high price.

The third is to apply for credit loans, and issue interest-free loans or low-interest loans according to specific circumstances.

Fourth, the tax of mountains and other miscellaneous taxes will be levied. The so-called six rafts refer to the government's control of six economic undertakings, that is, the state monopolizes salt, iron, and wine, specializes in minting money, collects mountain production tax, and handles five equal loans.

In short, the five equals and six bales are the full restoration of the monopoly of salt and iron and the two laws of equal loss and leveling.

Judging from the edict issued by Wang Mang for Wujun Liuzhen, his understanding of the monopoly policy is very good.

He believes that what the government wants to control are the daily necessities of the people, that is, the goods that are very expensive and the people will definitely buy, that is, the key industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

After the nationalization of these industries, the goal of unifying the crowd and suppressing mergers can be achieved.

Before Wang Mang, those who advocated economic regulation, such as Guan Zhong and Sang Hongyang, did not have as thoroughly the necessity of control policies as Wang Mang had said.

However, in Zhao Yun's view, all those who promote the planned economy have the slogan of equalizing the rich and the poor and achieving social justice, but in fact they are all aimed at strengthening the centralization of power and expanding fiscal revenue.

Compared with the nationalization policy during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's policy was too intensive, and the plan was even more colorful. For example, in the control of retail prices, it has reached the point where everything is very small.

The government classifies and prices all kinds of commodities at a specified time, and the same commodity is divided into upper, middle, and lower grades according to their different qualities, and only then allows merchants to sell them in the market, which is tantamount to completely replacing the function of the market with the hand of planning.

If Wang Mang was a complete emulator of Emperor Wu of Han in fiscal and industrial policy, he was much more radical in monetary and land reform.

The first time he changed the currency system was in May of the 7th year before his accession to the throne, and he used the Zhou money as a model to add money, and the new coins were divided into three types, each worth 5,000 yuan, 500 yuan, and 50 yuan, which was a large coin.

At that time, there were already signs of inflation in the country, and the nominal value of the new currency was much higher than the old five-baht coin, so the trend of private minting was great, and Wang Mang ordered to prohibit the private collection of gold by the princes.

In 8 A.D., the new dynasty was founded, and he changed a small baht in the name of Fengtian Carrier, and it was rumored that the five baht and the big money would be abolished, and the market was suddenly in chaos.

On the one hand, Wang Mang arrested those involved in rumors and spread rumors and exiled them to the frontier, and on the other hand, he minted a large amount of small money.

In 10 A.D., he suddenly announced a change in the currency system, and the general name of the currency was treasure, which was divided into six types: gold, silver, turtle, shell, money, and cloth, and the six currencies were subdivided into 28 varieties.

Due to the wide variety and unreasonable conversion ratio, the people's understanding of confusion is easily affected - the people are confused, and their goods are not good.

Four years later, Wang Mang was forced to change the currency system for the fourth time, and he ordered the abolition of big money and small money, and the issuance of two currencies, cloth and goods.

In just seven years, Wang Mang carried out four currency reforms.

In terms of land reform, Wang Mang's reform plan was the most decisive - to restore the full state ownership of land, and then distribute it equally to the peasants for cultivation.

This was the first regime to re-nationalize land since the Shang Dynasty abandoned the well fields.

Land is the foundation for the survival and reproduction of the clans, and many people have put forward various ideas to curb the situation of land annexation.

For example, Dong Zhongshu suggested restricting farmland, knowing that it was not feasible to revert to the well-field system, but that excessive mergers could be prevented by setting a ceiling on the amount of land owned by each household.

This idea of equal land rights on the basis of affirming private ownership of land was the mainstream in later history.

Wang Mang's implementation of the Wang Tian system was a revolution in the nature of the land.

At the same time as the nationalization of land, he declared that the trade of slaves and maids was not allowed on the grounds that it was contrary to the righteousness of the saints who valued the nature of heaven and earth.

Judging from the classics, Wang Mang seems to have always had a sympathetic attitude towards slaves and maids, and when he was not yet emperor, his second son killed a maidservant, and Wang Mang forced him to commit suicide.

Therefore, many historians have a high opinion of his policy of prohibiting the trade in slaves and maids, believing that it was a humanitarian initiative.

However, from an economic point of view alone, Wang Mang's thinking may not be as good as this, and restricting land annexation and restricting population annexation is a supporting policy to combat the power of the clan lords.

Wang Mang's reform of the law not only offended the clan and the propertied people, but also did not get the support of the proletarians, and the central government did not increase its income, so it can be said that the world is tired and has nothing to gain.

In the 14th year of reform, it was impossible to make progress, and in 22 AD, Wang Mang had to issue an edict to abolish all the reform policies since his accession to the throne.

However, the world can no longer do anything, in October of the following year, the rebels attacked Chang'an City, Wang Mang fled to Weiyang Palace's gradual platform, and was cut off by someone.

Will I be the second Wang Mang? Zhao Yun was confused for a while.

In any case, to replace the emperor of the Liu family as the master of this country, ideas are growing like weeds. He didn't know how long this process would take, and he had already made up his mind not to form a situation where the princes would be divided. How to deal with the Yellow Turban Uprising?
