After eating, Hao Fenglou set off and returned directly to the palace.

When these dusty people appeared at the gate of the palace, and when the glamorous guards outside the palace saw these gray-faced people appear, they were all surprised.

Soon, someone recognized Hao Fenglou and immediately rushed in to report.

And immediately after, Hao Zheng rushed out quickly.

When father and son met, they didn't have to say a thousand words, just a smile, their eyes intertwined, and then Hao Zheng affectionately hammered Hao Fenglou's chest and said: "Yes, it's strong again." Since you have returned, why didn't you call someone to report it in advance? ”

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said: "My son doesn't like everything like this, but Godfather Wang is worried." ”

"Worried about." Hao Zheng laughed and said: "My son doesn't care about the heavens and the earth, I already know what you are doing in Jinling, you have done a good job, and you have made great achievements, and now this situation is extremely beneficial to the Hao family, right now, I am not at ease about anything, but I am very relieved about you, quickly, go in and talk." ”

When I entered the palace hall, I didn't have time to say anything about my personal affairs, so I went straight to the topic.

Hao Zhengdao: "Now that my father has ordered Mu Sheng to enter Sichuan, let Chen Feng enter the noble, Wang Zhi led the troops into Fujian, and sent the water division into Quanzhou, as for those original officials, they can be allowed to stay for the time being, they are willing to hang the crown and go, then it is up to them, but the most important thing is to stabilize the hearts of the people, this time the court cut the two Guangzhou, Fujian, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan provinces, these six provinces and two Guangxi are the most stable, after all, we have already taken it, and the past two years have been maintained quite well, the officials inside. There are also businessmen and people below, who can be regarded as having the same heart as us. As for Yunnan. The Mu family has been operating there for many years, and the toast there only recognizes the Mu family and does not recognize the imperial court. The Mu family rebelled, as long as the Mu family had no disagreement with us, there would be no big problem in the future. Fujian and Guizhou, in fact, Chen Xue has also infiltrated into the two places, and now the soldiers are going, although there will be obstacles, but the slow operation, it is not hindered, and now the problem is the most critical. On the contrary, it is Sichuan, Sichuan is vast and there are many people, the most important thing is to capture the hearts of the people, this time in addition to Mu Sheng brought 30,000 elite soldiers into Sichuan, this king also plans to station a new army into it, the number of people is at least 50,000, in addition, Chen Xue's side has been mobilized, I discussed it with some of Chen Xue's great Confucians. Let them organize a contingent of 1,000 people to go there at once, and besides, the gentry of the Sichuan people are mostly hostile to us. For the Father, I want to send someone to contact them and have a good conversation......"

Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "Father, there is no need to talk about it. ”

Hao Zheng said with a solemn face: "Why is this? ”

Hao Fenglou sneered: "The landlords and gentry are incompatible with us. Even if they see that we are powerful and powerful, they will tolerate it for the time being. But it doesn't mean that they are really willing to be sent by us, once something happens. They are the source of the trouble, in this case, why stabilize them, enemies are enemies, friends are friends, the foundation of the Hao family depends on whatever comes from, as for others, don't pay attention to it, not only can you not pay attention to it, but you must completely solve it. ”

Hao Zheng saw that Hao Feng was murderous, so he knew what to do.

Hao Zhengdao: "What my father is worried about now is that once this happens, I am afraid that it will cause unease, and the gentry of the court are afraid that they will be even more hostile to us." ”

Hao Fenglou said: "In the past, our Hao family was just a corner of the place, and the soldiers were only 100,000, so we had to give some compromises at that time, and even tried our best not to offend some gentry, but now it is very different, and now it is a difference in attack and defense, first of all, we must understand that who is our friend and who is our enemy, if we can't even tell the difference, blindly compromise, not only hinders our friends from getting rich, but also allows our enemies to breathe." These landlords and gentry have a large amount of land in their hands, and there are countless tenant farmers and villagers, and there are many inexplicable relationships with the government, they have always regarded us as forgiving thieves, even if the imperial court cut Sichuan and other places, they may be obedient on the surface, and dare not resist blatantly, but behind the scenes, they will inevitably make a lot of small moves, and even wait for the opportunity, if we go with the flow, but once something goes wrong, they will not hesitate to fight back, keep them, after all, it is a disaster, rather than to please them, It's better to bring more people to our side. ”

Hao Zheng frowned and said, "What do you want to do." ”

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly: "Actually, my son thinks that many of Wang Mang's reformed laws are quite good. ”

Hao Zheng was stunned.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Wang Mang is a very famous figure, this benevolent brother, it is also unprecedented, usurped the Han family, and then began Wang Mang's new policy, but because of his restructuring but chaos, so the world is opposed, Wang Mang's new dynasty died in just a few years.

Speaking of which, Wang Mang doesn't care about anything else, just talking about his reform, for Hao Fenglou in later generations, it is really eye-catching things, such as the nationalization of salt, iron, wine, currency, mountains, forests and rivers, the redistribution of cultivated land, and the abolition of the slavery system, the establishment of the five-average credit and six-pronged policies, and the large-scale reform of the Zhou rite model that returned to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

And the most interesting thing is the land reform, such as changing the name of Tianxia Tian to 'Wang Tian', and slaves and maids to say 'private property', all of which are not allowed to be bought and sold. Its male mouth is not full of eight, and the field over a well, the rest of the field to the nine ethnic neighborhood and township party, so there is no field, now should receive the field, such as the system, dare to have a non-well field holy system, can not confuse the public, cast the four descendants, in order to resist the charm.

This means that private ownership of land should be abolished, and the state ownership of land should be implemented, and private individuals should not buy or sell; A family of eight men can receive a well, that is, 900 acres; If there are less than eight men in a family and the land exceeds 900 acres, the excess must be distributed to the clan neighbors; Those who did not have land in the past shall receive land according to the above system. The second is to change the name of slaves and maids to "private belongings" and not to buy and sell.

In this way, it is equivalent to greatly restricting the landlords and gentry, and the new dynasty at that time was full of heroes, the vast majority of wealthy families occupied tens of thousands of acres of land, and there were groups of slaves, on the other hand, ordinary people, but there was no place to stand, theoretically speaking, Wang Mang's restructuring and the land reform of later countries have many similarities.

It's just that Wang Mang failed, not only failed, but also failed very badly, if you really want to investigate the reason, Hao Fenglou has only one conclusion, that is, Wang Mang wants to suppress a group of vested interests, but he has not created a new group of interest groups.

In later generations, there are always people who criticize how interest groups are, but they don't know that in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, any country has a stable interest group, and it is precisely because of this political system that it is beneficial to interest groups, so these people have become the country's stable weapon, for example, Rome used citizens 'some kind of aristocrats' to balance slaves and Manchus, the Zhou Dynasty used 'princes' and 'countrymen' (equivalent to citizens) to control savages (equivalent to slaves) and aliens, and after the Han Dynasty, it was used to control the gate valve, After the Industrial Revolution, new merchant interest groups emerged, but they were dissatisfied with the old gentry and aristocracy, so they started a struggle, and finally the merchant group won and seized the dominance of the country.

Wang Mang's stupidity lies in the fact that he used the restructuring to overthrow the old interest groups, but did not create the zào interest groups, so the officials were against the reform, because these officials were a member of the old interest groups, and the local heroes rose up one after another, because Wang Mang touched their interests, and the crux of the problem was here. But in that era when all the resources in the world were concentrated on Haoqiang, offending Haoqiang was undoubtedly looking for death. As for the ordinary people who may benefit from the restructuring, the vast majority of them are ignorant and illiterate, their ancestors have rented the land of Haoqiang for generations, and their children and grandchildren are attached to Haoqiang, they do not have any knowledge, and all knowledge comes from Haoqiang's 'education'.

And most importantly, because there is no new interest group, Wang Mang's restructuring is just a dead letter, because there is no one to help Wang Mang implement his new policy, and often the decrees of the new policy are unrecognizable when they reach the localities, but have become a tool for the powerful to oppress the people.

Of course, no one can deny that Wang Mang's restructuring is theoretically advanced.

It's just that anything is too advanced, beyond the situation of its time, and extravagantly advanced, it is inevitably a fate to seek fish.

But Hao Fenglou thinks that now ...... For this new era of self-creation, the time has come.

Hao Fenglou already has a new interest group, he no longer needs the support of the gentry, he has enough manpower to implement his ideas, and most importantly, this old group has now been abandoned by their court and has become a bargaining chip for the court to make peace with Lang Shan, which means that he can let it go.
