Since the New Deal, there has been a thriving scene around Chang'an.

Because Chang'an is the capital of the empire and Guanzhong is the heart of the imperial court, a lot of resources have been invested here, and other counties can't afford the cost of reform.

There are many officials and strict supervision, and the imperial court's control over this place is relatively deep, so it can be said that it is deep between counties and townships, and most problems can be quickly fed back.

Coupled with Luo Qi's personal attention, he is the ruling Jinwu, who can hunt down thieves in the entire pass, investigate illegality, and directly judge, and can take down those who intend to fish in troubled waters as soon as possible.

Even if there are officials who want to deceive their superiors and subordinates, but under the supervision of the embroidered clothes all over the pass, they basically can't escape the end of being discovered.

Even if the new policy cannot be implemented exactly as expected, it is enough to release a part of the vitality to make the situation in Guanzhong better.

It can be said that the situation is very good!

In Wang Mang's mansion, the main leaders of the reform faction gathered together, their faces were full of happy smiles, Wang Mang laughed loudly: "The implementation of the new policy in Guanzhong is very smooth, continue at this rate, don't say that the rule of Emperor Xiaowen will be restored to the prosperity of Emperor Suwang, will it be far away?" ”

Everyone laughed out loud directly, but Luo Qi remained worried and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know how the counties in Kanto are implementing the new policy, it should be a little slower than Guanzhong." ”

As he spoke, a messenger rushed to the court, a rather capable man with dark skin.

The upper recital of the East comes in duplicate.

Although the supreme rulers of the Han Dynasty at present are the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

But one is the immature emperor, and the other is the queen mother who is full of thoughts and does not focus on state affairs.

It was Wang Mang who was in charge, so the chapters were handed over directly to him, and when he needed to use the seal, he contacted the queen mother, and it was usually Luo Qi who entered the palace to find the queen mother.

Zhao Hede likes to go into the palace to talk to the queen mother, the queen mother often holds banquets in the palace, Luo Qi as a husband naturally has to accompany her, and sometimes stays in the guest hall of the palace, so she is very familiar with the palace.

Wang Mang smiled and opened it to take a look, but his eyes burst out laughing wildly, and he even kept patting the seat next to him.

Seeing that Wang Mang, who had always been rude and old-fashioned, had lost his temper to this point, everyone looked at it curiously, not knowing what the letter was about.

Wang Mang waved the piece in his hand, then handed it to the others, and laughed: "Just now, Gongzi Qi was still asking about the situation in Kanto, and Cui Yi, the county guard of Donghai County, sent the results of his law change.

Look at what Cui Yi did in Donghai County, it is not worse than Guanzhong at all, and even surpasses. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly took it to watch, Wang Mang saw that everyone was surprised, and said, "What does this mean?"

It shows that the new policy can also be implemented smoothly in the Kanto region, which is in line with the general trend of the people in the world.

Those who do not do well must not do it wholeheartedly.

This Cui Yi wants to reward him for making this achievement so quickly, he is a talent, he should be used as a model for the county in the world, and those who are not good at doing things should take a good look. ”

Cui Yi's recital was passed in the hands of everyone, and the achievements he made were listed in detail on it, which amazed everyone, and no one thought that anyone would dare to deceive their group of big guys.

Moreover, it is not easy to fake this kind of thing, Wang Mang and even Luo Qi estimated that they couldn't believe that there would be a county guard of 2,000 stones who would risk the lives of the people to counterfeit.

But Luo Qi still found something abnormal in it, that is, this result is too good!

The foundation of Guanzhong is better than that of Kanto, but it can't be done to this extent, and an ordinary county in Kanto can have this achievement.

This official named Cui Yi is nearly forty years old, and in previous years, he was not particularly prominent, and he was transferred to the post of county guard two or three times, all of which were without merit and fault, and if he was talented, he should have become famous a long time ago.

But is it normal that such an achievement can be made in the face of a complex new coup d'état law this time?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Luo Qi was silent and did not speak, but she had secretly written down Cui Yi and Donghai County in her heart, and wanted to secretly check the situation of this county guard and Donghai County.

……

There is a very strong family in Tokai County.

Lanling Xiao Clan!

The Great Han Marquis!

As the Marquis of Jin Ling of Donghai County, Marquis has always been a big figure in the political arena of the East China Sea that cannot be ignored, but in fact, the people in the entire Donghai County Government, including the Thorn History of the Xuzhou Thorn History Department, have seen Marquis very few times.

These top princes have outstanding prestige, their titles have reached the top, and the royal family has no shortage of rewards every year, and they almost do not appear in front of the world except for sacrifices.

Cui Yi was full of jealousy of the Marquis Mansion, he had never set foot in Lanling County, where the Marquis State was located, and the implementation of the new policy also directly ignored the Marquis State.

The Marquis naturally heard of the affairs in Donghai County, but he is the Marquis of the Golden Order, even if he breaks the Golden Order and takes over the county, it is also military power, and the administration is not something he can manage, and Cui Yi does it carefully, and he can't find out anything if he doesn't dig deeper.

The most important thing is that the emperor is a childish boy who can't say anything, and the queen mother is a female streamer who doesn't care about anything, even if he reports it, who will he report it to?

Wang Mang?

That's impossible!

Do you think you're King Loewan?

This is the heartfelt thoughts of these top princes of Lanling Xiao, when Wang Mang wrote a letter to the princes, on the surface they reached an agreement, but in fact Wang Mang felt that these princes were waste, and the princes also felt that Wang Mang was nothing.

It can be said that the two different identities are tired of each other.

In the Marquis's Mansion, the steward reported with a gloomy face: "Junhou, the speed at which the people in the county have become displaced people has become much faster, and there are many more people who have attacked the official office, and there are even thousands of rebellions, but they have all been suppressed by Cui Yi, and these ordinary people are still too far behind the elite soldiers in the county." ”

The marquis tightly frowned, and the rebels in the county swarmed, which was a big deal.

But since the county guard suppressed it, it was not easy for him to directly take over the military affairs of the county, and breaking the Jin Decree was the supreme power, but abusing this power would cause the court officials to attack the Jin Order.

After a long time, Hou Hou slowly asked, "Is it because of the New Deal?" Isn't Cui Yi promoting Wang Mang's new deal? Go check it out and see what happened, how there were so many displaced people all of a sudden. ”

The steward took the order and turned to leave, and the hand holding the short sword was clenched tightly, Donghai County is the foundation of the Xiao clan, if this place is captured by the exiles, the Xiao clan may be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Kwantung has always been like this, and its position in the Han Empire has always been suppressed by Guanzhong, and in layman's terms, the Han Empire has not invested enough power in Kwantung.

"If the world is exhausted to this point, the destiny of the Han will not fall, right, what can be done to maintain the survival of the family?

Alas.

Chang'an is the center of the Han Dynasty, and if the imperial court is in Luoyang and there is a strong forbidden army, the pressure on the family will not be so great. ”

This is not just a problem of the marquis alone, but the problem of all the long-standing liehou families.

……

The number of displaced people is contagious, and the number of displaced people is increasing exponentially, and often when the imperial court only thinks that it is dozens or hundreds of Diao people making trouble, in fact, there are already countless potential people who are ready to die.

Cui Yi's sudden coercive change, the people didn't react at first, and they stupidly listened to the words of the government, but the people's eyes were bright when they were picking, they were not fools, and they soon discovered the conspiracy of the government.

Immediately, a large number of people rebelled against the expropriated officials.

"The princes of the court have already had countless treasures, but they still don't let go of this in our hands!

They have said all the good things, but they have done all the bad things.

The imperial court is unwilling to give us a way to live, why should such a court still be its people?

I've heard that there are natural and man-made disasters not only in Donghai County, but also in Dahan Prefecture, isn't this God guiding us?

Are we the only ones who are causing trouble here?

In other states and counties of the Han Dynasty, there must have been also uprisings of rebels!

Hanzuo will end, and the world will be opposed! ”

This was not a simple peasant uprising, there were many heroes in tandem, some heroes who failed in the struggle, and some scholars who were completely disillusioned with the Han Dynasty and tried to overthrow the Han Dynasty.

Although the powerful took this opportunity to grab the land, many of them were not of the same mind as the imperial court, because the powerful people still remembered that the new policy was hanging over their heads.

Their goal is to completely provoke the popular uprising, and then point the finger at the imperial court, dump the black pot on the new policy, and cause confrontation between the rebels and the imperial court.

Moreover, this kind of agitation is easy to succeed, because no matter what the reason for the rebels is, in the eyes of the imperial court, they are all rebels, and the rebels are also very aware of this, once they rebel, they will not care who oppresses them, and the ultimate goal is only one, that is, the imperial court!

These powerful people can enter to suppress bandits for the court and get more benefits, and they can take refuge in the new king and overthrow the decaying old dynasty, which is simply eaten at both ends.

————

In the history of the Han Dynasty, from the time of Emperor Han Er, it was always the first civil uprising in Kanto, and in the history of the Han Dynasty, the number of civil uprisings in Kanto far exceeded that in Guanzhong.

This is not because the people of Kanto prefer to challenge the order, but because Guanzhong has received more resources, and the social contradictions are much smaller than those in Kanto.

The author excerpts the approximate financial expenditure of the Han Dynasty from the historical materials, and after the rough calculation of the purchasing power of parity, the per capita resource consumption of the Han Dynasty was about three times that of Guanzhong and Guandong.

This injustice, which is almost visible to the naked eye, has led to widespread dissatisfaction and distrust in the Kanto region, from the powerful to the common people.

The Chang'an court's implementation of new policies on the basis of lack of trust and easy exploitation by careerists was one of the triggers for the chaos in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
