readx;??? In this changed world, Ma Yuan became the successor of the Zhan Lu Sword. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Zhang Jiashi obtained the Zhanlu Sword from Fusu, Zhang Jiashi had already gathered a number of pre-Qin famous swords and the Dingqin Sword as a symbol of the Great Qin Empire.
Among them, Lu Lu Jian and Ding Qin Jian were taken away by the white wolf and the red cloud at the funeral after Zhang Jiashi died of illness. And the remaining several famous swords are the inheritors who have obtained them one after another.
The Zhan Lu sword is a benevolent sword, and before Zhang Jiashi died of illness, the Zhan Lu sword became Zhang Ying's sword, such a situation can be said to be unexpected by Zhang Jiashi. But after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that Zhan Lu Jian had become Zhang Ying as its new master, mainly because of the "nonsense" of this sword. On the contrary, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that with the style of his eldest son, he had some similarities with the long-dead son Fusu.
Zhang Jiashi, who thought of such a little, was a little abrupt.
The two swords of the Ganjiang Sword and the Mo Evil Sword were used as the swords of Zhang Jiashi and Yu Ji, and half a year after Zhang Jiashi's death, after Yu Ji died without illness, the two swords were placed in the coffins of Zhang Jiashi and Yu Ji respectively as burial goods.
According to Yu Ji's thoughts, these two swords don't need to be used as burial objects, but after thinking that Zhang Jiashi was not accompanied by famous swords, Yu Ji sighed, and could only let the Ganjiang Sword and Mo Xie Sword be used as funeral objects.
In history, although there is news that Zhang Jiashi's mausoleum was stolen and excavated from time to time, it was found in archaeology many years later that although Zhang Jiashi's mausoleum was damaged by tomb robbers many times, there is no doubt that the two swords of the Ganjiang Sword and the Mo Evil Sword were not stolen, and the many coffins of Zhang Jiashi and his wife and concubine were also not destroyed.
Perhaps these rumors are more than fake news spread by the royal family of the Great Qin Empire in order to protect Zhang Jiashi's mausoleum.
After all, in Zhang Jiashi's mausoleum, the most valuable ones may be the Ganjiang Sword and the Mo Evil Sword.
The Tai'a sword that Zhang Jiashi obtained from Hu Hai became the sword of Emperor Wen Yingxun, and then became a symbol of the emperors of the Great Qin Empire.
Perhaps in the Great Qin Empire, the most noble sword of the Great Qin Empire is the Dingqin Sword that was taken away, but in terms of influence, it is led by the Tai'a Sword who has served as a sword by dozens of monarchs of the Great Qin Empire.
Among the famous swords obtained in Zhang Jiashi's hands, only the Zhan Lu sword was circulated.
And after Zhang Ying's death, the Zhan Lu sword was sealed by Zhang Xiu as the sword of the temple guard. And more than a hundred years later, because of a coincidence, Ma Yuan became the new owner of Zhan Lu Jian.
......
As a benevolent sword, whether Zhan Lu Jian's hands have been stained with blood or not, few people know this. But Ma Yuan knew very well in his heart that although the Zhan Lu Sword was called the sword of mercy, the name of its benevolence was not the sword itself, but the character of the user. It can be said that the reason why the Zhan Lu sword has the name of benevolence is that the benevolence of the wearer of the Zhan Lu sword is praised by many people.
Although he is not a benevolent person, he is not a cruel and murderous person. Of course, in Ma Yuan's heart, he also has his own point of view, that is, to punish sin even if it is to praise good.
So after knowing Zhang Yuan's arrangement for him, Ma Yuan didn't think much about it, but hoped that this world could increase the opportunities for goodness in disguise because of the reduction of some evils.
If Zhang Jiashi knew Ma Yuan's thoughts, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
After all, at this time, Ma Yuan's way of thinking is like Buddhist common sense, if Zhang Jiashi knew about this, he might spit out: "Are you also a traverser?"
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
In order to complete this arrangement, Zhang Yuan and the patriarchs of several other families mobilized a lot of resources for Ma Yuan. These even include some heavy siege equipment.
These materials are naturally forbidden to circulate in the Great Qin Empire, but for the Xianyang Zhang family and other families, it is not a big problem to get these materials in some aspects.
Of course, these materials were mainly allocated by Yingxiu in private under the orders of the corresponding personnel. If Zhang Yuan and the others are asked to take out these instruments, not to mention whether they can "take" them or not, just in the case of Yingxiu, this is not necessarily a thing that can be shown.
Therefore, these heavy equipment are mainly transferred from Jinnan County and Jinbei County.
And in Jinnan County and Jinbei County, the distance to the cottage where Ma Yuan is located is not too close, and because there are many bandits in Taihang Mountain, so in order to avoid some accidents, these heavy equipment mainly rely on a transport team of about 100 people for corresponding transportation.
Perhaps, these convoys can put an end to the "undivided thoughts" of some small bandits, but there is no doubt that the appearance of this convoy has also made some forces aware of some situations.
After all, although these forces are not the protagonists of this "stage", it is still impossible for them to be indifferent in this regard.
So on this road, this convoy is relatively safe. But more than that, the items transported by this convoy have become a semi-open secret.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Mang and his henchmen were ignored by Wang Mang, who seemed to be at a loss due to some unexpected circumstances, I am afraid that Ma Yuan would need to face a dock fort that was prepared and strengthened in many aspects.
And if you want to capture the foundation of the Wang family at that time, then you will inevitably need to pay a heavier price for horse aid and even the Great Qin Empire.
......
On September 26, 28 A.D., within the harem of Afang Palace, there was a celebratory atmosphere. Because on this day, Yingxiu will marry Guo Shengtong as her first concubine.
But Wang Mang and his henchmen Zhen Feng and others are not in such a good mood as Yingxiu.
Because during this period of time, they and the other henchmen of the Wang family, who felt that the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse, had an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Wang Mang naturally didn't think that such a situation was groundless for him. But in the absence of conclusive evidence that Yingxiu was ready to take action against him and the Wang family, Wang Mang believed that his rash decision would make the situation worse.
And everyone, including his son Wang Kuang, thinks that he can only give it a go at the moment, but Wang Mang thinks that in the face of rash action, facing several big families including the Xianyang Zhang family and even the Great Qin royal family, he knows what the end will be with his knees.
Wang Mang didn't think that he was afraid of these inherently powerful forces, but the background and even the strength on the surface of these forces made Wang Mang have to be in a state of mind.
After all, the current strength of the Wang family can be said to be different from what it used to be, after being cheated by Yingxiu twice, although the current Wang family still seems to have quite strong strength, but he understands very well that such a power is no longer a threat in front of many families, but a temptation.
Wang Mang knew that as long as he made a wrong move on the premise of wrong judgment, then what awaited him and the Wang family would inevitably be a very miserable end.
Wang Mang is not unwilling to take a risk, but under the premise that he understands that he can no longer gamble unscrupulously in this situation, he can only watch one step at a time.
At the very least, Wang Mang didn't think that these days would be the time for Yingxiu to deal with them personally. After all, although Yingxiu is the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, compared to the Guanzhong region, many Kanto families do not obey Yingxiu's orders too much. It can even be regarded as a fact that many families have seen that the emperor of the Great Qin Empire is at a disadvantage, and many people have some policies that are contrary to the yang and the yin.
This situation did not arise only after Yingxiu ascended the throne as emperor. On the contrary, the current decline of the central authority of the Great Qin Empire is not Yingxiu's responsibility. At the very least, Wang Mang himself thinks that if it weren't for Yingkang's actions back then, I'm afraid that the current situation faced by Yingxiu would be much better.
After all, it was also because of Yingkang's misjudgment that the Wang family was able to grow to this point.
If the rise of a family can only rise with the support of the emperor, then the current Yingxiu and Wang families are obviously an existence that is engaged in a strong confrontation with each other.
In other words, the current Yingxiu already has a further plan of action and is waiting for the corresponding opportunity.
......
The Great Qin Empire established a centralized system with the emperor as the main body, which was set during the reign of the First Emperor.
At that time, after the reign of King Yingzheng unified the whole country, he thought that he was a virtuous and superior to the three emperors, and the title of the king could no longer show his supreme power and status, so he changed his name and combined the titles of the three emperors and the five emperors in ancient legends into one, known as "emperor". From then on, the emperor became the title of the supreme ruler of the feudal state.
In addition, it is also stipulated that the emperor calls himself "I", the order is called "system", the order is called "edict", and the seal is called "seal". Abolish the "law" of the son discussing the father and the minister discussing the king, and stipulate that the emperor is arranged according to the generations, the first generation is called the first emperor, and the later generations are counted as the second and third generations, so that "the inheritance is endless". These provisions all indicate the divine status and supremacy of the emperor. It also enabled the emperor to control the judicial, legislative, executive, and military powers of the country in the hands of a single person.
At the same time, Qin Shi Huang recognized the decree of legalization of private ownership of land. The name of Qianshou was widely used during the Warring States period, and its meaning was the same as the common "people" and "common people" at that time. In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang (221 BC), he ordered to "change the name of the people to Qianshou" ("Historical Records: Qin Shi Huang Benji"). This is one of the contents of the naming system after the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty.
Qian, black, "Shuowen Jiezi? Heibu": "Qian, Li Ye." From the dark to the sound. Qin said that the people were the head of Qian, and they were also black. ”
In the 31st year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang (216 BC), he ordered the landlords and yeoman farmers who occupied the land to report to the feudal government according to the amount of land actually occupied at that time. The government recognizes the legitimacy of private land and levies land rents accordingly.
In the civil strife and war after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne as emperor, Zhang Jiashi's efforts to turn the tide have also strengthened the centralized system of the Great Qin Empire.
At the same time, in order to alleviate the harm caused by land annexation in the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi modified the land use rights of the Great Qin Empire, so that the land use rights of the Great Qin Empire were nationalized and the people had temporary land use rights.
Although Zhang Jiashi did not expect that when the land was redistributed for the first time, a large-scale uprising would break out again in the Jiangdong region, but it was for this reason that the land annexation phenomenon of the Great Qin Empire was not too serious so far.
This can also be regarded as a contradictory phenomenon.
The legalization of private ownership of land promoted the development of large land ownership and the feudal landlord economy. At the same time, it also made it legal for the landlord class to exploit the people by using the land, and the land rent, taxes, and various kinds of forced labor on the peasants became heavier and heavier.
Zhang Jiashi's decision to nationalize the land undoubtedly touched the fundamental interests of the original vested interests. Zhang Jiashi, on the other hand, had such a background and strength, ignoring the weak threat of these vested interests who had suffered heavy losses in the war, and formalized the policy of nationalizing the land.
Although in the subsequent history, even when Yingxiu was in power, the land annexation phenomenon of the Great Qin Empire gradually got out of control, there is no doubt that once a monarch has the ability to resolutely support the national policy formulated by Zhang Jiashi, as long as the situation is not too complicated, it is not easy for the land annexation phenomenon faced by the Great Qin Empire to deteriorate.
This has evolved into a contrast between the strength and weakness of the centralized system and the local system.
After all, since ancient times, as long as the state exists, there will be the problem of the distribution of power between the local and central governments. As for how to make the country stable and promote social development at the same time, distribution has always been a problem that politics has always had to solve, and it is not easy to solve it at every time. So far, there is no universal model for this issue, and each country will adopt different political systems according to different national conditions to promote the development of its own country. Generally speaking, if the power of the central government is too centralized, local development will lose its vitality, and if the local government only obeys the orders of the central government and does not have much autonomy, local development will not take the initiative, and if there is no local initiative to develop and only rely on one central government, the development of the whole country will certainly be restricted. However, if the local power is too great and the central government cannot control the local government, the decentralization of local power will cause imbalance in regional development, which in turn will affect the development of the country.
And just as the centralization of land is very good and has solid support, the local signs of land annexation will naturally not deteriorate.
