Chapter 27: The dowry that shook the government and the opposition!
Luo Qi understood what he said, and the scholars in the world did not agree.
Wang Mang himself is also involuntarily, he must make unprecedented reforms to appease the hearts of the people in the world, he has prospered with the help of the powerful power of Confucianism, and now he must bear these backlashes.
Countless people pushed him down there, just like a campaign promise, what was said at the beginning, if you don't do it after you take office, then you can try.
But what Luo Qi said just now with worry, Wang Mang thought about it again.
Luo Qi's influence on Wang Mang is still extremely strong, and in Wang Mang's plan, Luo Qi is his first ally, because Luo Qi is both moral and capable, and he is a person he can fully trust.
Wang Mang pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "But what you just said Wen Qi is very reasonable.
If you can't make a noticeable change for a long time, you will feel cheating.
The most crucial thing in our restructuring is the change of the land system, which is the most difficult thing to achieve.
The world should be allowed to see the new world with immediate results, and calling on the ministers and officials to advocate simplicity and abolish slaves and maids is perhaps the easiest of them to do.
In the past, Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaowen were frugal, so the world was straightforward, and in today's world, extravagance and indulgence among nobles are commonplace, and a day's food actually costs a year for the small people's house.
Money and goods are like this in the world, if the powerful have more, the small people will have less, and the powerful will swallow all of them, and the small people will die of hunger.
King Su said, "People don't suffer from poverty and inequality."
The people work all day but live in hardship, and the dogs of the powerful families eat meat every day.
I used to read history books, and I often lamented that the king of Luoguo was rich all over the world but did not have a palace or a fancy dress, and there has been no change for thousands of years, isn't this the reason for the harmony between Luoguo and the people of Zhaocheng?
Abolish the system of slaves and maids, so that everyone is placed under the government, and the people of Zhuxia, whatever may happen in the future, cannot be deprived of everything by birth. β
In Wang Mang's moral outlook, as long as the ruler is an example, the world will follow, and he has come this way, and he can be in a high position or even rule the world without an inch of merit, because of his high morality.
It sounds incredible, but it's very much in line with the human psyche.
Although there are always people who say that as long as you can do something, a little mistake is nothing.
But if you really put a simple official and an official who lives a luxurious life in front of you, 90 percent of the people will choose the official who lives a simple life.
A morally perfect person may not be a good official, but he is not bad.
Although Lowe's disagrees with average, because average is inherently unfair, it also disagrees with the large gap.
Even though Emperor Xiaowen was as simple, in fact, there was never a shortage of meat, wine, etc., which was already very good, but some powerful people were so extravagant that it was unimaginable, how could people believe what such a ruler said?
The complete abolition of slavery and the call for frugality, while equally difficult, are at least much easier than what has been proposed.
Calling on the aristocracy to be thrifty Luo Qi thought it was impossible to do it, and it was impossible to have money and not let it be spent.
Besides, even if it is really done, it is not necessarily a good thing, if the nobles are not allowed to spend money, won't the money in the hands of the nobles become more and more?
However, to completely abolish the slave system, Luo Qi feels that it is feasible, and can use this policy to disintegrate Haoqiang.
Luo's doesn't care about this article, because Luo's itself has no slaves and maids, and those female officials are relatives, and ordinary people can't come.
Especially the female officers around Luo's son, it is really a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, because the data shows that Luo's wife is basically a female officer around him.
Even if they don't marry Luo's son, these female officials have great power and play the role of big stewards, which can make their small family more status, no less than daring warriors!
As for the complete abolition, Luo Qi still finds it difficult, because the existence of the slave system is not only a matter of laws, not a simple edict, and the magnates will do it in accordance with the edict.
There were countless struggles, and even Rocky could guess now that some of the slaves themselves would oppose the decree.
Luo Qi is now extremely glad that after receiving Wang Mang's letter, he came to Chang'an decisively, otherwise these people are now, and they are just tossing around, it is really better not to change than to reform.
It's too idealistic.
Want to solve the problem?
Think.
Do you know what the problem is?
Know.
How to solve it?
issued an edict calling on the powerful and powerful to give benefits to the people.
Two words, outrageous.
Wang Mang's life was a little too smooth, and the ups and downs in the past couldn't even be called ups and downs, because he didn't have any losses.
Wang Mang felt that since he was young, he said that if he wanted to clear the acres of land in the world, he would be thrifty, he would treat slaves and maids equally, and he would say that he would ensure that the prices in the world were consistent, and almost everything he wanted to do was clearly stated.
In the case that everyone in the world knows his thoughts, countless people have pushed him to this position, then they must support him, since they all support him, then now that I am implementing the law, why don't they support me?
If those powerful people who supported Wang Mang knew what Wang Mang was thinking, they would definitely vomit blood in anger.
Who would dare not support you?
If you don't support you, those scholars can eat us alive, will the Empress Dowager let us go?
Moreover, he only said that he would clear the acres of land in the world, but did not say that all the land should be confiscated and then redistributed!
You only said that you want to stabilize prices, but you don't say that you want the government to monopolize all industries and then set your own prices!
You are thrifty, you treat slaves and maids equally, we admire your character, but it does not mean that we want to be thrifty, it does not mean that we do not want to use slaves and maids!
We're just talking about it helplessly, why are you still here to be real?
Wang Mang has always reached the pinnacle of his life by virtue of morality, so he really feels that this is the elixir of governing the world.
Luo Qi left Wang Mang's mansion worriedly, he definitely didn't want Wang Mang to fall into defeat.
Morality plays a role in the aggregation of a society no less than law.
Wang Mang is a benchmark, he represents a trend of thought, if Wang Mang fails, the spiritual blow to the people of the world will be great, and he may even fall into confusion.
β¦β¦
Zhao Hede entered Chang'an City, and then went straight to live in the palace to accompany his sister who was at the peak of power.
Luo Qi didn't see her fiancΓ©e, but the people who heard it said that it was carved out of the same mold as the queen mother, and even exceeded.
Since the Empress Dowager was unwilling to let herself see Zhao Hede directly, Luo Qi also let go of the curiosity in her heart and began to think about the next strategy for abolishing slavery, which was the easiest thing Luo Qi thought.
He wants to use this matter to pry open the impermeable fortress of the world's powerful and powerful, and then behead those powerful and powerful under the horse.
In Chang'an City, and the world are waiting for the first decree after General Sima takes over, Taixue and all the scholars in the world are staring at Wang Mang and this saint in the eyes of countless people.
There are countless expectations, with infinite longing, as if today's chaos is about to disappear.
Dahan will return to the era of national peace and security, warehouse enrichment, and Siyi guest service.
In this atmosphere, the marriage proposal mission of Zhaocheng entered Chang'an City, and Luo's delegation never engaged in flowers, a simple Luo character and the Phoenix King Flag were enough.
The costumes of the daring warriors are also extremely obvious, and the crotch is the sweaty and bloody BMW transported back from Wusun and Dawan in the Western Regions, each of which is worth a thousand gold.
After receiving Zhao Feiyan's message, the courtship delegation carried the gifts into the palace.
In Zhao Feiyan's bedroom, there are people from the Zhao family, the Zhao family is now quite noble with the rise of Zhao Feiyan, and it is the highest family in addition to the Wang family, only the princes have three people, and there are high-ranking officials like Da Sima.
However, there is no arrogance in the face of Luo's, and he is even a little complacent, and he will be Luo's relative in the future.
Luo's envoy carried a whole few large boxes into the hall, everyone in the hall turned their heads and ears, the world's curiosity about Luo's is completely unstoppable, although they know that Luo's has always been thrifty, but they still guess what gifts they have.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the head of the family has asked the foreign minister to bring you a message, the two surnames are married, and it is a good family to get married, this is a great joy, may King Su be with you."
"May King Su be with you!"
More than a dozen people from the Luo clan in the hall knelt on one knee together, raised their crossed hands above their heads, and said in a solemn voice.
The Zhao family in the hall was stunned when they saw this, and instantly recalled the etiquette they had learned, and knelt on one knee on the ground one after another, and said in unison: "The gods of King Su are in the sky, and they will be glorious and famous for thousands of years!" β
Zhao Feiyan only felt comfortable, how could she have thought that one day, she would be able to get such a blessing from the head of the Luo family?
"King Su is above, all peace and blessings!
Thanks to Zhao Gong for the blessing he brought, and he treated Su Wang Emperor Tian respectfully, far beyond the sky, which is probably the reason why Zhao Gong can get the blessing today. β
The Luo envoy stood up from the ground and said deeply: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, this is a gift prepared by the family for Gongzi Qi to ask for relatives and respect for the noble daughter of the family.
Dawan sweats and blood ten horses.
Liaodong Shenyi Haidongqing three.
100 pieces of high-grade jade in the Western Regions.
Kangju fetish.
β¦β¦
A set of polar west glazed cups. β
At the beginning, these are extremely precious things, and many of them are difficult to obtain, especially Hai Dongqing, if it is not for Luo's, it is really not easy to capture, and the lowest value in this may be a hundred pieces of high-grade jade.
But Luo's is a good jade, and there is jade in all the gift lists, which is a well-known thing in the world, and it belongs to Tiantou.
From the specifications of these gifts, you can see how sincere Luo's is, after all, she is marrying the queen mother's sister, and it is not good to have too few things.
The Luo envoy didn't care about the expressions of everyone in the hall, and continued: "The bronze treasure of the Shang Dynasty is used by the Shang King to sacrifice to the sky.
Zhou Tianzi gave a set of wine lords and bamboo slips.
A set of chimes given by Qi Huan Gong has an inscription to record the source.
A volume of Spring and Autumn Interpretations written by Confucius himself. β
Rumble!
These four things shocked everyone in the hall at once, and even Zhao Feiyan, a woman who likes flashiness, stood up a little excitedly.
Each of these things is unique except for Lowe!
Each piece can be passed down as a family heirloom, as the noble heritage of the family, to add luster to the family, especially the Zhao family, which suddenly emerged, most needs this kind of object with historical heritage, to get rid of the name of nouveau riche.
Zhao Feiyan was even a little jealous of her sister at this moment, she was not only a good man, but also married into such a high family, and instantly felt that the position of the queen mother was a little unfragrant.
The Zhao family was pleasantly surprised, and then began to worry, Luo's dowry was a bit too heavy, what should be done with the dowry at that time?
It is impossible to make up this kind of gift even if the Zhao family is turned over, and Zhao Feiyan knows that he can only turn things over from the treasure house of the palace.
There are definitely no treasures in Shang and Zhou, but there are still some more precious things in the treasury of the palace, and Zhao Feiyan can reward them to the Zhao family first, and then let the Zhao family bring them to the Luo family as a dowry.
Zhao Hede, who was hiding behind the curtain, heard the gift list, and had a deeper understanding of the Luo family he married, and muttered softly, "This is the unique Gaomen that my sister said." β
I can't help but be a little curious about my future husband, I only heard people say that he is handsome, but he doesn't know how handsome he is, and he recalled the thoughtful words that his sister said to him between the curtains, and his face was a little blushing, "It must be very handsome, very handsome." β
Luo's gift list was quickly passed out by Zhao Feiyan, and Luo's threw out such a generous gift list, which fully illustrates the importance of this marriage.
In the eyes of many people, this can be regarded as a statement, Luo's hopes that the position of the queen mother will be stable, which is to hope that the royal family will survive, and hope that the society of the Han Dynasty can survive.
ββββ
The ancient tomb excavated this time, the definition of the owner of the tomb, originally there were different opinions, the only thing that can be determined is that this should be a nobleman of the Han Dynasty.
However, among the cultural relics unearthed the day before yesterday, there is a set of bells from the Zhou Dynasty, and we can see from the inscription that this is a gift from the Spring and Autumn Overlord Qi Huan to the monarch of Luo.
Presumably everyone has guessed that there was a luxurious dowry in history, which appeared in various Western Han Dynasty scripts, that is, the set of bells when Luo Qi married Zhao Hede.
The identity of this Han Dynasty nobleman can be known from this, it should be a marquis of the Zhao family, and the most likely is Zhao Feiyan's younger brother, the Great Sima Shenlu Marquis. - "Statement on the Identity of the Owner of the Tomb"
