There are not many cultural relics about Chen Sheng.

This Chen Shengjian is also the only thing that Chen Sheng has left in this world that belongs to him.

As for Chen Sheng's tomb.

Yes, yes.

But Chen Sheng's tomb was stolen many years ago.

And the legend is that it was stolen by Cao Cao.

As for why Cao Cao stole it?

Very simple.

I just want to rob the gold and silver antiques in the tomb in exchange for food.

"Let's look at the second artifact."

After explaining Chen Sheng, Chen Fan came to the side and prepared to talk about the second cultural relic.

"This is a silver box belonging to the Western Han Dynasty, the silver box is 12 centimeters high, weighs 576 grams, and when it was unearthed, it contained ten boxes of pills. If you look at the shape of this silver box, his pattern, his pattern, he is not the same as our Middle-earth style, he looks very exotic. In fact, this silver box was not made in the Han Dynasty, but came from Persia, and the pills inside came from Arabia. It is interesting to find this silver box, he is not in Xi'an, nor in Luoyang, but in Yueguo. ”

"Yue Guo?"

Quite a few people were a little surprised: "Found in other countries? ”

However, Chen Fan shook his head: "Maybe the current Yue Kingdom belongs to other countries, but in the Western Han Dynasty, the Yue Kingdom, or rather, a considerable part of the Yue Kingdom, still belongs to the Western Han Dynasty." ”

"Huh?"

"Don't be surprised, let's take our time about South Vietnam. Before the pre-Qin period, Nanyue was led by the Baiyue people, until the Qin Dynasty, when the Qin Dynasty sent the general Zhao Tuo to attack Nanyue, and then divided the entire Lingnan into the territory of the Qin Dynasty. It's just that it didn't take long for the Qin Dynasty to be overthrown by the Han Dynasty. However, at that time, Zhao Tuo did not lead the soldiers to King Qin. In order to protect his own vitality, Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue State in the local area and proclaimed himself king. ”

Speaking of which.

Chen Fan couldn't help but talk about the battle of Qin and Han again.

At that time, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed so quickly, and it was also related to the fact that many main forces were assigned to the South Vietnamese side.

According to historical records, Zhao Tuo led 300,000 soldiers to attack South Vietnam.

If Zhao Tuo at that time had returned from Nanyue to save the Lord, although the Qin Dynasty might also have perished, history might have gone in another direction.

Of course.

History does not repeat itself.

When the world was in turmoil, Zhao Tuo seized the opportunity, so there was the Nanyue Kingdom.

However, although Zhao Tuo established a state in South Vietnam, he knew that his strength could not be compared with that of the Central Plains Dynasty, so he built a lot of defenses. Until Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, established the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang did not recognize the status of the Nanyue State. Immediately, under the persuasion of Han Chen, Zhao Tuo accepted the seal of the king of Nanyue given to him by the Han Dynasty and submitted to the Han Dynasty. ”

But a few years later, Zhao Tuo repented and became emperor in South Vietnam. After Liu Bang's death, Empress Lü was in power, and she sent a large army to South Vietnam. However, the terrain of South Vietnam is more complicated, and there are more mountainous areas there, and the transportation is inconvenient, so the Han army does not have much chance of winning. After Empress Lü's death, the offensive was stopped. But despite this, the strength of the Han army still made Zhao Tuo very worried. During the reign of Emperor Wen, Zhao Tuo once again accepted the persuasion of the Han Dynasty to surrender, removed his imperial title, and returned to the Han Dynasty again. It's just that despite this, Zhao Tuo was a vassal to the Han Dynasty externally, but internally he still regarded himself as the emperor. Then Zhao Tuo died, and his descendants ascended the throne, which was passed down for several generations...... Until the period of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a large army to attack Nanyue, which lasted a year and captured the Nanyue Kingdom. At this point, the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed, and the entire Yue Kingdom was also included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”

The history of the South Vietnamese Kingdom is not very long, only five generations in total, only more than 90 years.

But it's not long, though.

The Nanyue Kingdom established by Zhao Tuo became the first dynasty in the history of the Yue Kingdom.

It is also because of the special relationship between South Vietnam and China. Therefore, in Yue Guo, we can see such a silver box. ”

Such a cultural relic is actually another cultural relic that proves that South Vietnam has been a Chinese territory since ancient times.

It's just a pity.

Later, in 1802, the Yue Kingdom officially broke away from Chinese control.

"I have long heard that the country of Yue has always belonged to our China in the past, but I have never been very clear about this period of history, but today I understand it."

"I didn't expect that the first dynasty of the Yue Kingdom was actually founded by Zhao Tuo, a general during our Qin Dynasty."

"That's what I said, but the Yue side won't admit it."

"Hmm. Not only will they not admit it, but they will even say that in fact, many territories in the south belong to them. ”

A group of fans said excitedly.

……

"Let's take a look at the third artifact ......"

The matter in South Vietnam is actually more complicated.

But in the end, now Yue Guo does not belong to China, so Chen Fan will not say more.

Then, Chen Fan led everyone to the first cultural relic.

Compared to the first and second artifacts, the third artifact is quite shocking.

Imprinted in front of everyone's eyes is a vernier caliper made of bronze.

But the year mark written on it is from the New Dynasty.

The new dynasty is not very clear, Chen Fan explained: "The new dynasty is actually the dynasty established by Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. ”

However, although Chen Fan explained, everyone was still too shocked by this bronze vernier card style.

"Is this really a cultural relic from the end of the Western Han Dynasty?"

"It can't be a fake."

"Brother, this is a museum, do you think museums will deceive people?"

"This ......"

Of course.

In fact, not all of the museum's collections are genuine.

No, now is not the time to discuss this.

This bronze vernier card type is indeed from the Wang Mang period.

It's just that for Wang Mang, the world doesn't have much research on him.

Many historians generally believe that he was a relative of the usurper, so they do not recognize the new dynasty he founded.

Therefore, on the whole, the historiographical circles are critical of Wang Mang.

But.

For Wang Mang's evaluation, an interesting change has occurred in his previous life.

In the past and modern times, many people in the historical circles have held a positive attitude towards Wang Mang.

Although Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne is true, Wang Mang himself is still a very capable and vengeful monarch.

Meantime.

Compared to other emperors, Wang Mang may not be below them.

"Don't be surprised, this is indeed a caliper unearthed during the Wang Mang period of the New Dynasty, and he is more than 1,000 years earlier than the vernier caliper we use now. Many people may ask, how did he make such an advanced thing in that dynasty at that time? Here, I would like to briefly introduce Wang Mang to you. ”

"Wang Mang, he is the founding emperor of the new dynasty. However, before that, he was the nephew of Wang Zhengjun, the empress of the Han Yuan Emperor. After Han Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty experienced many people. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing of Han, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zhao of Han, Emperor Xuan of Han...... But after Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was very ordinary. And Emperor Han Cheng, the son of Emperor Han Yuan, not only has average ability, but also indulges in wine, and the entire regime has been controlled by a relative, that is, by Wang Zhengjun, the wife of Emperor Yuan of Han. ”

In fact, the Western Han Dynasty has always had the dictatorship of foreign relatives.

However, the previous emperors were quite wise, and some of the relatives they met were also more awesome and even more loyal.

For example, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, Huo Guang...... Wait a minute.

But it's not like a relative doesn't have any bad intentions.

Perhaps Emperor Yuan's wife, Wang Zhengjun, was still looking for the Han Dynasty, but her good nephew Wang Mang, he usurped the throne when Emperor Ping of Han was 3 years old and established a new dynasty.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, this Wang Mang doesn't seem to have a high evaluation in the history books."

"Wang Mang, the emperor, came from some incorrect ways, and was criticized by many people."

briefly introduced the situation in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, and many fans discussed it for a while.

Chen Fan didn't have much to say about this.

Regarding Wang Mang, everyone has a different opinion.

But Chen Fan mentioned Wang Mang, that is, Wang Mang is a person, and there are actually many bright spots.

Indeed, Wang Mang's throne is not in the right way, although he said that Emperor Ping Chan is located in him, but it has never been recognized by historians. Many historians believe that Emperor Ping of Han should have been poisoned by Wang Mang. I won't comment here for the time being, Wang Mang, who founded the new dynasty, wanted to show his ambitions. At the same time, after many years as an official, he learned that there would be no social contradictions. At that time, the taxation and labor of the imperial court became increasingly serious, the ruling class had "many animals and slaves, and unlimited farms and houses", and extravagance and profligacy, which made the people poor and the country was poor, and the number of land annexation and slaves and maids and displaced people was viciously inflated, which became a serious social problem at that time, and the class contradictions and internal contradictions of the ruling class became increasingly acute, and there were continuous uprisings in various places. ”

It was precisely because of these phenomena and contradictions that Wang Mang, who founded the new dynasty, began to restructure. In the ninth year of A.D., the new dynasty issued the first Zhao Decree and changed its name to Tianxia Tian as Wang Tian. ”

"What does it mean that Tianxia Tian is Wang Tian?"

Many people are puzzled.

Chen Fan said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, the original land was privately owned, and when it becomes Wang Tian, it is state-owned." ”

"State-owned, I ...... No, this thought, this is too far ahead of its time. ”

Everyone was stunned.

They didn't expect that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty in the year 2000, someone would propose public ownership of land?

To know.

Public ownership of land has only become popular in modern times.

"Not only is it publicly owned, but also the imperial court has determined that a family of eight men can receive a well in the field, that is, 900 acres; If a family has less than eight males 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. ”

I have to say.

As soon as this system of public ownership of land came out, it instantly dazzled the entire live broadcast room and all the audience.

"I'm suddenly very interested in Wang Mang now."

"Me too, this person's thinking is too advanced, isn't this everyone having a field to plant, and everyone to eat?"

Of course.

Wang Mang's restructuring is not only that, Chen Fan continued: "In addition to the public ownership of land, Wang Mang also abolished slavery. Wang Mang believed that slaves were private and could not be bought and sold. ”

From this point, Wang Mang's reform has been endorsed by many people.

At least.

Many ordinary people agree.

And this really solved the contradictions in the society at that time.

To know.

Although there were many famous kings in the Han Dynasty before, the strength of the entire Han Dynasty was also very strong.

But this is very strong, it does not mean that the common people are doing well.

Under the continuous advancement of the feudal dynasty, the land was also constantly annexed. Many poor peasants, because of problems in their lives, eventually changed from having land to being landless. For example, there are some ordinary people who originally had a hard life, but they can survive by having land. However, all of a sudden, I got a serious illness, and my family spent a lot of money, in order to save people, what should I do? They had to sell their fields to other landlords and nobles.

So, this slowly, dozens or hundreds of years passed. These common people have changed from having land to not having land.

But that's not the end of it.

Because there is no land, life is even more miserable.

In order to make a living, they also have to sell themselves to some dignitaries.

The abolition of private ownership, the conversion of land into public ownership, and the prohibition of the slave trade gave many ordinary people great hopes.

This allowed them to regain their land, and they were not restricted in their freedom to become dependents of the nobility.

In addition to declaring public ownership of land and abolishing slavery, the new dynasty also established a payment system. The new dynasty stipulated that people could borrow money from the government for funeral or sacrificial needs, and only need to return the principal without interest. If a person borrows money from the government for engaging in agriculture or commercial production, the government charges one-tenth of the net profit as interest. ”

This restructuring can also be called subversive.

It is also to solve the needs of ordinary people.

Once they encountered any difficulties, they did not need to sell their fields to the nobles, they only needed to borrow money from the imperial court.

Although there is interest, but the interest of one-tenth is much better than other usury.

However, Wang Mang's restructuring is not yet over, and he still allows policies to intervene in the economy. Prices are controlled by the government to prevent businessmen from manipulating the market. When there is an oversupply, the government buys daily necessities at cost, and vice versa, the government sells them to prevent prices from rising.

And hear this.

All the audience was completely stunned at this point.

"So, after we learn about Wang Mang's new policy, let's take a look at this bronze vernier caliper, is there any accident with him?"

Chen Fan smiled.

Fans in the live broadcast room typed one after another: "No surprise, no surprise at all." ”

"Compared to public ownership, compared to others, what is this vernier caliper?"

Yes.

Public ownership, state loans, abolition of slaves, interference in the economy by the imperial court...... And so on, these policies that have lasted more than 2,000 years have come out.

Not to mention this vernier caliper.

……

It's just a pity.

Although Wang Mang's reform looked good, it was met with resistance from the traditional old aristocracy.

Why resist.

Very simple.

Wang Mang has Tian Gong, what do some of the original landlords rely on to live?

Wang Mang abolished slavery again, so what did some nobles rely on to enslave the people?

Maybe Wang Mang's restructuring is very good, or maybe the people also agree.

But in the environment at that time, the strength of the common people was too weak and too weak.

The strength of the whole country is still in the hands of the traditional landlords and nobles.

Immediately, Wang Mang's new dynasty suffered uprisings from all sides. Of course, these uprisings were just that. Although Wang Mang is on the throne, his ability is still very strong. After the outbreak of rebels in various places, Wang Mang sent a large army to suppress it. However, Wang Mang's restructuring is too advanced, and many of the reforms seem to be good, but they may not have achieved such an effect when implemented. In the end, Wang Mang's restructuring not only did not solve the social contradictions at that time, but made the whole society more turbulent. Under the rebellion of various armies and other princes, the new dynasty was only established for about ten years before it was overthrown. ”

That's all about Wang Mang.

But.

After Chen Fan finished talking about a series of new policies launched by Wang Mang and his new dynasty, a group of fans were still amazed.

"Public ownership?"

"Abolish slavery?"

"Government loans?"

"State intervention in the economy?"

"Isn't the idea too far ahead?"

"It's not just ahead of its time, it's 2,000 years ahead."

"I'm wondering, who is Wang Mang?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"He's not going to be a traverser!!"
