In the 12 years of Qianning, the reform of the law was steadily promoted. Luoyang, Anyi, Jinling, Huai'an, Huiji and other counties are progressing much more smoothly.

After all, these places are the places where the Wang clan has the most branches, and they are also the places where the Wang family has been operating for the longest time. The edicts of the imperial court were naturally to be carried out.

The imperial court issued an edict to treat the people of the world well, to promote a Datong society, and to let the destiny of the great cadres be passed on forever. Calling on nobles and officials to promote benevolent governance, local tyrants and powerful people should be in harmony with the locality, and the people should know the policies of the imperial court, understand and support the imperial court.

Officials all over the world must act in accordance with the edict, change the law and reform the system, and let the great cadres continue to be brilliant.

One by one, the Confucian scholars shouted that they should inherit the will of their ancestors, create a prosperous era of great cadres, and establish a great society.

Luo Mang knew in his heart that there would always be some people who would be reluctant to give wealth and unwilling to divide the benefits among the lower-class people. Therefore, in addition to sending officials, he also sent a large number of embroidered envoys.

In his opinion, as long as enough embroiderers were dispatched, those officials would have to do what the court ordered. With the presence of embroidered clothes, these laws can be carried out.

Moreover, he felt in his heart that with the previous counties as examples, through the successful experience of these counties, the people of the world would understand the benefits of the reform of the law. He has thousands of scholars as the forerunner, the support of the royal family, and the hearts of the people in the world, how can the change not succeed?

Luo Mang didn't think that this change would fail, and his reform policy could be said to be giving benefits to the people and winning the hearts of the people all over the world. King Wen once said: The community is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat.

Mencius also once said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

It can be seen that the people's will in the world is the strongest, and with the people's will in the world, how can the law change not be successful?

If Luo Mang can really integrate the hearts of the people in the world, then his changes are indeed invincible, and no one can stop him.

But is the hearts of the people in the world so easy to integrate? Not to mention this era, even after thousands of years of real history, it is difficult to integrate the people's hearts in the era of advanced information.

In the era when people's wisdom has been opened and information transmission is convenient and fast, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, not to mention this era of backward communication!

Unless you have a completely unreasonable Mandate Artifact in your hand, don't even think about it.

Luo Mang remembered that those who won the hearts of the people won the world, but he forgot that King Wen also had a saying, called the Son of Heaven, and those who were strong in soldiers and horses did it.

Luo Mang's reform and reform have been promoted throughout the country, and the scholars all over the world are excited about it, and those enthusiastic scholars are willing to work hard for this ideal.

But there are also a large number of nobles, heroes, and eunuchs who are unwilling to accept it. The scholars of the world, the crowd is surging, and the powerful, noble, and official families from all over the country dare not oppose directly, but secretly they are constantly making small moves.

In the past, the new law of the imperial court was able to implement the four counties, but it was because there was a large army of the imperial court outside, and hundreds of scholars were personally officials and officials inside, and those people did not dare to act rashly.

But when it comes to the whole country, the situation is different.

Although there were thousands of officials of the Fa faction in the imperial court, they were evenly distributed among the counties, and each county had no more than ten people. There are at least five or six counties under a county, and even if there are these law-changing officials, they will not be able to control the county seat below.

In the states and counties where the royal family has strong control, the implementation of the law change is relatively smooth, and even if some powerful and noble rebels, the imperial court can be quickly pacified.

But in some areas where the roads are difficult to travel and the power of the royal family is weakened, what the changes will eventually become, the Yanyan princes in the court can't imagine at all.

There were many counties in Daqian, and because each county sent officials from the reform faction to carry out the reform, these counties also began to reform the law under the impetus of these officials.

These officials of the Fa-Reform faction did not have much power at their disposal, but they had to face the counterattack of the local heroes, nobles, and eunuchs.

These people are very smart, and they don't have a hard top with these law-changing officials. Because they know that no matter how well the decrees of the imperial court are formulated, they still need to implement them.

If Shangguan wants to release the slaves and maids, then they will release the slaves and maids. As for how much to release, it's entirely up to them to decide.

The county commanders, county lieutenants, and county officials are officials appointed by the imperial court, but the scribes and servants below are all locals, and most of these people are inextricably linked with the local heroes, nobles, and official eunuchs, or they are directly their people.

Now that you want to change the law and rely on these people to implement those laws that are not conducive to the powerful, noble, and official families, what do you think they will do?

Capable officials can rely on the support of the imperial court to honestly obey the servants and scribes below, but how many capable officials are there?

Even though these officials have been training in the previous counties for several years, it is still not easy to subdue these people.

In Yuan County, Zhang Shu gathered hundreds of people such as county officials, county lieutenants, as well as scribes and errand officers, and began to issue orders.

"The imperial court decreed to implement the law change, and this official and the county magistrate and the county lieutenant came here to implement the new law!"

"Pass the order, let the people below act in accordance with the new law, do not slack off, do not distort the decree, and earnestly implement the new law!"

"The imperial court has inspected the acres of land, the land of the whole county and the hidden fields, in addition to the land rewarded by the imperial court, including the land of the heroes, the people, the nobles, the peasants and soldiers, and the official eunuchs!"

"After the amount of land is sorted out, it will be redistributed!"

"The imperial court prohibits merchants from buying and selling, seeking huge profits, and exploiting the people, so all commodities in the county must be bought and sold according to the imperial court price, and those who dare to violate it will directly confiscate the goods!"

"All the land and property must be recorded, and all the goods and goods and the freed slaves and maids must be recorded in the register, and the official and the county governor will verify it when the time comes."

After the order was issued, Zhang Shu and the three did not relax, but led some people to carry it out.

But how big is a county? It's just up to the three of them to do it all.

The idea of checking the land, checking the hidden fields, and then redistributing them is very good, but the acres in the hands of many powerful people have not been checked at all, but the acres of those people have been checked, even if the county order goes in person, but only part of them can be checked.

As for those hidden fields, it is even more difficult to check them. The powerful and noble people directly added all their tenants and hidden people to the distribution list, and crossed out some people's names in order to obtain more land.

At the same time, the lower field was changed to the upper field and distributed to the people, and then the people's upper field was changed to the lower field and distributed to Haoqiang.

With the cooperation of the officials, messengers, and scribes below, the land of the entire county was occupied by the powerful and noble, and the official eunuch families occupied eighty percent, and the rest belonged to the people.

The goods of those merchants who are supported by the powerful and noble are even simpler, and the price set by the government is too low, so these people directly stop selling them and directly inform them that they are out of stock.

And for those merchants who don't have a back-office, they are directly forced to sell at a low price, and then they directly pay for it. If they dare to oppose it, they will be confiscated in the name of resisting the new law.

There was no goods to sell, the whole county could not buy any goods, and the people could not buy goods even if they had money, and the people who were working the fields were soon informed by the servants that their fields were now divided among the others.

And the common people either had no land, or were given some barren land. The vast majority of counties in the world have become like this.
