In the following years, the relationship between Confucianism and the other hundred schools of thought was not very harmonious, and there were many fights between them, and the relationship between Gu Liang and the Ram within Confucianism became worse and worse.

Originally, Confucianism is the absolute advantage of the ram line, if Dong Zhongshu can really succeed back then, then the ram line will completely become the main line of Confucianism, because Dong Zhongshu is the heir of the ram Spring and Autumn Period, if he can successfully let Confucianism reach the top, the ram Spring and Autumn period he represents will naturally become the highest classic commentary of Confucianism.

Unfortunately, he failed.

His defeat undoubtedly brought a respite to the representatives of Gu Liang's Spring and Autumn lineage, and Gu Liang began to rise gradually, and then grew rapidly in the years when Dong Zhongshu was suppressed.

Gradually became the leader of Confucianism.

And advocate reconciliation with the rest of the hundred schools.

However, at this time, the rest of the hundred schools have already learned to be obedient, and they don't eat them at all, everyone knows very well that the difference between the ram and Gu Liang is nothing more than that one is a radical, and the other is a moderate.

Just hanging on to the sidelines.

waited until Dong Zhongshu failed, and then jumped out and said that everyone should be gentle and reconcile peacefully.

Only fools believe their nonsense.

As a result, the relationship between Confucianism and the rest of the hundred schools of thought has not eased in the past few years, but has become more and more difficult to integrate, not only in the court, but also in private, and even more so in terms of scholarship and scholarship.

Of course, this refers to the Hundred Schools of Thought.

There was an endless fight between the hundred schools, but Qiao Mu and Liu Che did not fight, at least on the surface, there was no fight between the two, and Qiao Mu never took the initiative to trouble Liu Che, and both of them have always maintained a state where well water does not interfere with river water.

Since the last meeting at Changle Palace.

In addition to occasionally learning about the political situation of the dynasty, the rest of the time was basically spent on reusing the children of the Mo family to carry out various reforms and creations that were beneficial to the people's livelihood, such as quyuan plows, hulling machines, waterwheels, water conservancy mills, wool looms, fruit tree grafting, knitting sweaters, cultivation of improved seeds, the construction of Mengxue Academy, and the establishment of the Jici Institute for raising orphans.

Every change reform.

All of these things are very beneficial to the people.

It can be said that in the past five years, Liu Che has done a lot of things in the court, and the overall influence caused by it is far less than the impact caused by any of these reforms and creations of Qiao Mu.

Nowadays, even if you go to the most remote place to ask the people over there, or even go to the Xiongnu to ask the Huns, then everyone may not know Liu Che, but they definitely know the Empress Dowager Dou.

Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager Dou is a good person.

He's a capable person.

He is a capable person who is more powerful than contemporary Shennong.

In addition, the business territory of Arbor has also been greatly expanded in the past five years.

From the very beginning of the oil and soap business.

Up to now, there are few industries in the country that do not see arbors in all aspects.

From coinage, salt making and salt sellers, to sweaters, sweaters, pants and toothbrushes, there is no industry in which arbor does not participate, anyway, as long as she can think of something, it can bring some convenience to the people's lives and make a small profit at the same time, she has made it out, and even if some of them are not made, it has also given some inspiration to the children of the Mo family, so that they have also made some similar related products.

Among them, after five years of development, the salt industry has successfully monopolized ninety percent of the salt supply in Dahan, and has also reduced the price of salt to an extremely low price, so that all the people in the world can afford to eat edible salt.

Of course, the corresponding thing is that the major salt merchants are almost bankrupt, and countless salt merchants who bought a large number of salt merchants at the beginning of the low price and lower cost than them are almost crying to death.

However, even if the salt produced by the arbor salt field has been sold to the Han Dynasty, this industry is not the most profitable industry for arbor.

The most lucrative industry is still the minting industry.

Industries that make money can make money again.

How can it be fast to make money directly?

Qiao Mu not only knows the location of the major copper mines, but also has more advanced wet copper smelting technology, coupled with the Mojia technique, forging 20 pounds of copper coins is not a matter of minutes.

Because the copper coins forged by the arbor are not only of better quality than other copper coins, but also better in weight and purity than others, therefore, but in less than three years, the emperor's money forged by the arbor has been smoothly circulated throughout the country, and even in some of the surrounding vassal countries, and even among the Xiongnu, in the market, only those pre-Qin ancient coins can still resist one or two, and the batch of copper coins issued by Liu Che at the beginning have basically been excluded from the market.

As for the reason.

At that time, half a tael was equal to about twelve baht.

In the pre-Qin period, half a tael was still a full catty tael, but after Liu Che took the throne, the first batch of copper coins he issued was only three baht, and the value was still half a tael, but the weight was less than three-quarters.

Soon, the batch of half taels issued by Liu Che was jokingly called three baht coins, and the value was only a quarter of the emperor money issued by Qiao Mu, and even so, some stores were reluctant to accept it.

Five years have passed since the Changle Palace talks.

In addition to cultivating a private army of thousands of people who absolutely obey his orders, Liu Che's only gain is probably to replace the ministers in the court with cronies who obey his orders.

And arbor does not nominate hope.

Not to mention the degree of expansion of the firearms army.

The money earned alone has far exceeded the national treasury, and most of the country's economic lifeline is also in her hands, as long as she gives an order, she can even make everyone in Chang'an City starve to death.

It is conceivable how huge and terrifying the commercial power of Qiao Mu has expanded.

Fortunately, Qiao Mu has hidden all the other industries except for a few industries that are really difficult to hide, and his life is quite low-key, otherwise, I am afraid that Liu Che will not be able to sleep well at night, worried about his throne.

……

Changle Palace, Ci'an Palace

Qiao Mu looked at Liu Xuan's mother and daughter helplessly:

"What's the matter with you two this time?

Gillian, you're nearly thirty years old, can't you find someone to give birth to, although I said at the beginning that even if you find a few faces, it doesn't matter.

But you can't mess around with those noodles all day long, you might as well have a baby.

Don't perfunctory me with physical problems.

Your body, I have already sent the imperial doctor to see it, it is very good, there is neither poisoning nor palace cold, it is better to have a child as soon as possible.

Wait until you're older.

I can't give birth if I want to. ”
