Guo Pu, who was lying in the attic drinking, could see the stars in the sky when he looked up, and he also saw the stars in the night sky, and after drinking a glass, he muttered: "The prosperous era is coming, ......"

The people showed the strongest resilience in the face of suffering, and in just half a year, they forgot the pain caused by the flood in the first half of the year.

In their words, as long as you can live, you must always live with a smile, crying is a day, laughing is also a day, why not laugh?

His Majesty has been helping them, and they can see hope.

So when the autumn harvest was over, they paid their taxes and found that there was still food left in their homes, so they became happy and were willing to give some food to treat their families.

The former is to sign up for labor service, and you can get food or money for disaster relief, which is actually wages, but in the name of disaster relief;

The latter are mostly organized by the village chief or the village chief, and the main repairs are the roads and ditches in the village.

In addition, in some counties and counties, engineering teams have also emerged, that is, one person recruits fellow villagers or young laborers to take orders from some wealthy households to help them build houses, dig ditches, dig ponds, and so on.

Even the county government will pay to hire them.

Taking advantage of the slack farming, many people have made money.

However, it can only be until the end of the year, because the weather is getting colder and colder, and the places north of the Central Plains are no longer suitable for travel, let alone labor.

This year's snow is very thick, Guo Pu has predicted in advance, all localities have done a good job of cold prevention and disaster relief, the house is reinforced before the heavy snowfall, and a large amount of firewood and charcoal have been prepared at home, although the snow is heavy, but it has not caused a major disaster.

Zhao Hanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he was in the mood to say: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, next year will be a bumper harvest year." ”

Guo Pu glanced at her in surprise and praised: "Your Majesty is amazing, I just calculated that the rainfall next year is generally good, although there will be small floods and droughts in some places, but the problem is not big, and the whole country is still considered to be smooth and rainy." ”

Zhao Hanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and shared the good news with the ministers the next day, and advised: "After the beginning of spring, we must do a good job of persuading farmers to teach mulberry." ”

As soon as the spirits of the hundred officials are lifted, all should be down, is a stable situation coming?

Years of rushing and hitting not only made them physically tired, but also tired in their hearts, and hundreds of officials were in tears, looking forward to the arrival of the prosperous era.

As soon as the New Year passed, Zhao Hanzhang officially changed the yuan, and this year was the first year of Yuanzhen, and at the same time, the new laws and new government that were added and revised were also announced to the whole country one by one.

The first item is that Zhao Hanzhang abolished the burial system of living people and strictly prohibited the burial of living people. As long as someone is found to be buried as a living person, regardless of the identity of the martyr or the identity of the owner, it will be punished as the crime of murdering good people, and the three generations of them shall not be examined for the rank......

The first regulation makes people feel Zhao Hanzhang's strength and firmness.

Zhao Hu's heart in the capital was beating violently, and he suspected that Zhao Hanzhang's method was specifically aimed at him.

"Could it be that she still remembers the hatred of the year?" Zhao Hu was a little dissatisfied, "Uncle Cheng and I are reconciled as before, what else does she care?" ”

Five silver belly, you are the master, and Uncle Cheng will not dare not reconcile with you.

He hurriedly said: "It's definitely not aimed at Master Lang, the slave heard that many places will use living people for burial, not to mention it, Runan Chen's family, the old lady of their family passed away the year before last, didn't the people who served him follow him?" ”

Zhao Hu's heart eased a little, and then looked at Wuyin with regret: "Alas, I originally thought that I would let you also receive the incense of my Zhao family's descendants in the future, but now it seems that it can't be done." ”

Wuyin burst into tears: "It's a slave who has no blessing, and can only serve the master more when he is alive." ”

He decided to secretly go to the Taoist temple outside the city tomorrow to set up an immortal tablet for His Majesty.

The second statute was to abolish the death contract system for slaves, leaving only the living contract, and to make a detailed division of the rights and responsibilities of both the master and the servant.

Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, and the first sentence was, "I don't believe it, do you want to change Uncle Cheng and Qinggu from a dead contract to a living contract?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang really turned Cheng Bo and Qinggu into a living deed, and the Wang family still wanted to cancel the living deed and directly let them return it.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Auntie, they have to sign a deed if they stay with you, this is a living deed, they are already good names, and now we have an employment contract?" ”

Wang was puzzled: "What is it?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you know that they are already good people." ”

Zhao Hanzhang did not specifically explain that the slave status was abolished, but he did legally give the workers who lived the deed the status of good status.

Most of the officials didn't react, let alone the people.

However, there are also people who are particularly keen, and when the servants come to the door to make statistics, they pay attention to it, and find that the slaves have automatically obtained good records after changing from a death contract to a living contract.

This means that one day the slave will no longer want to work, and when the work deed is up, he can leave and go to the yamen with his household registration, and with the household registration that has not been assigned, he can be assigned to the fields to cultivate, and he does not have to rely on the master's family at all.

Even, it is easier to redeem the slave of the living deed.

In the long run, if they want to hire slaves, they will have to increase their monthly salary, at least not as before, a hundred monthly dollars can be used for one subordinate.

Naturally, they can no longer kill their subordinates at will, now that they are good people, killing slaves is equivalent to killing good.

Most of the subordinates reacted faster than their masters, after all, the books were delivered directly to them, and they could see more intuitively that they had become good people.

Thinking about it a lot, the insightful subordinates fell into tears violently, took the book back to the room and put it down in the direction of the capital, and then knelt down and kowtowed.

He is a little more powerful, he is a steward, and he can get a monthly salary of 600 Wen a month, and then his master hopes that he can exchange his life for this 600 Wen, including his son, daughter, future grandson, granddaughter, and all have to work hard for it.

What is the difference between this and the modern society where you have to stick a knife in the ribs of the boss with 3,000 yuan and then send the heart?

The third is the female household,

The imperial court did not restrict female households, and the rights and responsibilities enjoyed by female households were the same as those of male households.

There are many new laws and regulations, but at the beginning of the discussion, these three articles were the most questioned, and until the imperial court passed and issued them, there were still many opposing views in the DPRK and China.

It's just because Zhao Hanzhang is strong and advocates change, and the main minister agrees, so it has to be passed.

However, the courtiers still can't help but worry, Ji Yuan is especially worried, he and Zhao Hanzhang said: "In the past few years, Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs and rarely reads. ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Mr. wants to remind me not to follow in the footsteps of the new reckless?" ”

Ji Yuan sighed and said: "Wang Mang's new reform failed, and then the world was in chaos, and Your Majesty is walking too quickly today. ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "I also had this concern, so when I was not on the throne, I tried step by step, from when I was the regent, to my wedding, and then to King An's abdication, I see that the tolerance of the court officials, the world's scholars, and the people is still very high. ”

Ji Yuan: ......

Zhao Hanzhang: "Why do you think Wang Mang failed?" ”

Of course, Ji Yuan will not say anything about his cruelty, unkindness, hypocrisy and other historical conclusions, but said directly: "He snatched food from the tiger's mouth and seized benefits from the world's powerful and wealthy families, so he failed." ”

"He was defeated because he couldn't insist, he was defeated in the change of the imperial order, and the politics and law were chaotic," Zhao Hanzhang said: "If he is not so virtuous, he will retreat when others mention objections, but be a little more domineering and push the new policy away, even if there are shortcomings, there will not be many complaints." ”

"But even if his new policy fails and the people are disappointed in him, when he is alive, most of the people still support him, the common people, the Hanmen clan, they all choose to support Wang Mang, why?"

Ji Yuan didn't speak.

Ming Yu came out from behind and said: "Because only Wang Mang can lead them to break the restrictions of the powerful and wealthy families at that time, they only see hope in Wang Mang." ”

The corners of Zhao Hanzhang's mouth curled up and said: "Yes, and today, they can only see hope in me, the world is still dominated by commoners, Hanmen, and slaves, and half of the women in the world, Mr. Ji, how many people are against me, and how many people will support me?" ”

"Even if they are dissatisfied, they must surrender in front of the will of the people and the court, and what we have to do is not to step into the footsteps of Wang Mang's reform when the dynasty changed and was eager to make political achievements."

Ming pre rushed in front of Ji Yuan and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Even Zhao Ming said: "If you don't do it, if you don't do it, you have already made a move, and there is no way to retreat and repent, otherwise it will be a catastrophe." ”

Zu Ti is even more supportive, and took the initiative to Jizhou first, the new policy is rolled out in Jizhou first, and other states and counties can be slowly pushed, and then Jizhou is the experience.

Zhao Hanzhang was overjoyed and said: "Then focus on Sizhou and Jizhou first, and implement it slowly in other states and counties." ”

As long as Sizhou and Jizhou succeed, other states and counties will immediately speed up.

Zu Ti immediately asked for his life to return to Jizhou.

He is the secretary of the military department and the history of Jizhou, but at this time there are not many things in the military department, and now there is a radio, urgent matters can be communicated with the radio, and letters are sent to Jizhou if they are not urgent, and they have time to deal with them.

Zhao Hanzhang allowed it.

After some discussion, Zhao Hanzhang selected Ming Pre, Zhao Ming and Chen Siniang as the leaders of the reform, and ordered them to take charge of the reform policy, while Zu Ti, Fan Ying and others assisted.

They were all staunch reformers.

As soon as Zu Li left, Zhao Hanzhang transferred Liu Kun to Beijing, ordered Dai Yuan to be the assassin of Xuzhou, Zhao Shen to replace him as the assassin of Guangzhou, and ordered Zhao Yong and Shi Le to return to Beijing to report on their work.

Dai Yuan, who had been nesting in Guangzhou, received the order and was moved to tears, and immediately stuffed a big red envelope into the angel who came to announce the decree.

The angel's eyes narrowed with laughter, and he quickly put the red envelope into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "General, Your Majesty values the general, and allows you to select 2,000 people from your command to go to Xuzhou together, and also sent a radio station to the general." ”

Dai Yuan's eyes lit up, the radio, he had long been greedy, he had seen it when the two armies were fighting the year before last, but he never had a chance to get it.

Obviously, Yangzhou got one, but Guangzhou didn't, and Dai Yuan has always been a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Now that he finally has it, it means that he can talk to the emperor instantly?

Dai Yuan asked: "Will I go to work immediately, or will I go back to Beijing to report on my work first?" ”

The angel said: "Your Majesty means that you will pass through Xuzhou from Guangzhou to the north, and since the general has a radio station, he can directly rely on this to report to His Majesty, take over Xuzhou first, and then return to Beijing to report after the autumn harvest." ”

Dai Yuan understood, "The last general will leave for Xuzhou immediately, but I don't know when I can contact Your Majesty, how to use this radio station?" ”

This was about to be handed over to the telegraph officer, and the angel handed a secret letter to Dai Yuan, "This is a secret letter from His Majesty to the general." ”

Dai Yuan took it, and contacted Zhao Hanzhang that night, he sent all the people around him back, leaving only the telegraph personnel, and talked secretly with Zhao Hanzhang through the radio for half an hour, except for each other's telegraph personnel, no one knew what they talked about.

Dai Yuan read the translated telegram one last time, and after remembering it all, he threw it into the fire and burned it all.

After receiving the telegram, Zhao Yong, who knew that he could finally return to Beijing to report on his work, was very excited, and ran back to the city from the barracks to find Xie in a hurry, "Sir, sir, I am going back to Beijing!" ”

Xie Shi said: "I know. ”

Zhao Erlang: "Mr. is so pitiful, Sister asked you to guard Chang'an." ”

Xie Shi: "This is the duty of the lower officials, and my wife and children have taken it over, what is there to be pitiful?" ”

Zhao Erlang thought for a while and said, "Mr. can't see me, isn't it pitiful?" ”

Xie Shi choked, to be honest, he was not pitiful at all.

Although Zhao Erlang can now be on his own, as his teacher, Xie Shi still tirelessly taught him the art of war and strategy, as well as various subsets of scripture and history.

Of course, it is impossible for him to read and understand by himself, it was Xie Shi who broke it to explain to him, and the little guy around him had to read to him every day, and by now, Zhao Erlang's knowledge has accumulated a lot.

But, it's really tiring to teach him.

Obviously, he only has one person, but teaching him is as difficult as teaching a hundred students, so when he learned that Zhao Erlang was going back to Beijing to report on his work, Xie Shi was not reluctant, he only felt relieved, and he was happier than taking a half-month long vacation.

He said gently: "Walk slowly on the Erlang Road, don't worry, it's cold in the first month, and there is snow on the road, so pay attention to safety." ”

"No, there is a time requirement for debriefing, and I have to return to Luoyang in three days." Zhao Erlang looked distressed.

Xie Shi: "That's three days." ”

Zhao Erlang: "But I think I can get there in two days, and Luoyang is not very far, I think my sister and my aunt." ”

Xie Shi was speechless, and simply cut off his words, "You don't plan to go back to Beijing, what are you doing when you come to me?" ”

"Come and say goodbye to Mr., they are packing their luggage, they don't need me, I will return to Beijing to report at least half a month, I don't see Mr. for half a month, I will miss Mr."

Xie Shi: ......

Xie Shi's rare heart swelled with reluctance, and there was a faint sadness.

He shook his head violently, feeling that he was really crazy, how could he be reluctant, it was only half a month, not half a year.

But he still told Zhao Erlang many things, such as, "Listen to Your Majesty's words, whatever Your Majesty asks you to do, you will do it, less contact with the children of the people in Beijing, especially avoid the children of the Wang family and the Sima family, no matter what outsiders say, you must remember that your goal in the future is to be a general and gallop the territory for Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very tired and brain-consuming to be the emperor, let's not cause trouble for her." ”

Zhao Erlang nodded again and again and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xie Shi sighed and said, "No, you pay attention to safety on the road." ”

Zhao Erlang got up in a hurry, "Sir, don't you have Tuyi for me to take back to Sister?" ”

Xie Shi: ......

Xie Shi called Zhao Erlang's entourage, and when he asked, he learned that Zhao Erlang had spent all his money again, and the holy decree came suddenly, and he had no money to bring gifts to his mother and sister.

Xie Shi resigned himself to preparing Tuyi for him, stuffed Tuyi into the carriage for him, and said: "When you return to the capital, let Your Majesty find you a daughter-in-law, single people can't save money, you have to get married." ”
