"Does Mr. Fan hate Wang Mang so much?"

After the "Wang Mang head" was taken down to spread it to the three armies, the real Wang Mang finally recovered and asked Fan Chong a question.

"Of course I hate it!"

Fan Chong's answer was natural. He was a grand duke and had no etiquette. He still crossed his legs on the couch. When he was still a tenant farmer in Ju, the local new official made a name and used the five equal and six-mand promulgated by Wang Mang to nationalize the mountains, rivers and forests, so that they even had to pay taxes to chop firewood up the mountain, and the woodcutter was unemployed on the spot.

"It is clearly a land of Haidai, but the salt in the government is extremely expensive. We are suffering so we simply become thieves. We should chop wood and sell private salt."

Wang Mang was a little ashamed, but this was not his original intention! The five equal and six controls were to curb the powerful and control the mountains and forests, and the government would lend the poor to the poor so as not to fall into the debt trap of the powerful and become slaves and tenants.

So in the final analysis, it was the fault of Liu and Haoyou!

Wang Mang also learned his lessons, and there is no need to do such complex things as five equal and six controls and reforming the currency system for the time being.

He then offered Fan Chong a second strategy, about land.

"In ancient times, every eight households set up a well field, and a husband and a woman ploughed a hundred acres of land, and taxed tithes. In this way, the country would praise the people and make praises. This was the way of the Tang and Yu, and the rule of the three generations."

Wang Mang still blamed the Qin Dynasty: "However, the tyrant Qin was unjust, destroyed the sage system, and abandoned the well fields, resulting in land annexation, and greedy and despicable people. The powerful households owned thousands of hectares of good land, and the poor and weak people did not establish a land. The Han Dynasty inherited its ills, and the rich people invaded the tombs and divided the land and robbed the fake. The father and son of the common people all year round, and the income was not enough to save themselves. The rich people would eat dogs and horses and eat people, and be arrogant and evil. This is everything that Mr. Fan and the Red Eyebrow experienced. Although Wang Mang was responsible, the root lies in the land!"

When Wang Mang became emperor, he realized this problem and issued the Wangtian Order, nationalizing the land of the world and eliminating the way of buying, selling and annexing. This knife directly hit the wealthy families who supported him and announced that they had broken down with the class relationship in the past few decades.

As a result, it can be imagined that the law ended in a dusty manner after only three years of implementation. Even a person as persistent as Wang Mang gave in. He did not force the powerful to restore the well fields, but only bit the land ban and refused to trade. At least it stopped the wind of mergers and was at least from Guanzhong.

Now that the new dynasty has been destroyed, annexation has become popular again. Especially in Nanyang, Haoyou and Green Forest merged into official positions, holding soldiers, and became unscrupulous.

Before Wang Mang was captured by the Green Forest, he heard refugees say that even those who participated in the Green Forest Army might not be able to save their land after returning home.

Since this is the case, the red eyebrows must show the difference from the green forest. This knife must be cut!

He took a step forward and threw out his old prescription.

"Take a strong medicine to treat Ji Shi!"

"Die Hao right, divide the land!"

...

"Mi Haoyou, I'm good at this."

After hearing Wang Mang put forward these six words, Fan Chong immediately became energetic.

From Mount Tai to Nanyang, Chimei did this all the way. They were destined to live with all the nobles and Qi Haoyou. Fan Chong never thought of compromising and living together. He just went around and fought, leaving after eating, and leaving the land, and wanted whoever he loved.

"Since you have to take root, you can't do that now."

Wang Mang said: "The Red Eyebrow has captured Wancheng, and other counties in Nanyang will be able to be captured sooner or later. Each county will send a battalion of ten thousand people to station. No matter how big the local tyrants are, can every family gather thousands of disciples to accompany them? Either escape or surrender."

"After all counties are taken down, no matter how big or small, it is not allowed to be forgiven! Especially the Liu family of Chongling, Li family of Wancheng, Yin family of Xinye, Deng family, Lai family of Huyang, Fan family of all of them are the wealthy families in Nanyang, with hundreds or even thousands of hectares of land. The wealthy princes and princes should not keep their family and eliminate them!"

This is also considered as avenging private revenge. The powerful Nanyang support the Green Forest and rebel against the new house. Wang Mang was determined to destroy his clan at the beginning, but he did not expect that it was done by the fake Red Eyebrow.

Wang Mang said: "After the destruction of the powerful family, their vast land was divided into the Red Eyebrow warriors to plow them, and the excess was used to resettle locals, and each household was divided into 100 acres."

Wang Mang did not want to admit that the idea of ​​forcing the equalization of fields by force was derived from the practice of the Fifth Reunion in Wei. When he met Ahlen for the last time, Wang Mang wanted to wipe out the green forest, so he piloted it in Nanyang. Unfortunately, he was immediately stabbed by the Fifth Reunion and his dream turned into nothingness.

Fan Chong agreed with this plan, but he also had concerns: "Wen Tian wanted to divide everyone, regardless of their identity, into 100 acres?"

Wang Mang said: "That's right, Mr. Fan and his lords must do this too! I think it is an example, and there is a poem that harms the superiors and the inferiors. People's opinions have no boundaries. From the superiors and the inferiors, the great light of the way..."

"I can't understand the poems when you don't recite Tian Weng."

Fan Chong had a headache and was not interested in Wang Mang's difficulty in finding evidence of wealth and poverty in the classics. He then said: "For me, I am naturally willing to be equal with my brothers and sisters, and I believe the rest of my lords are the same..."

Having said that, Fan Chong was still a little worried: "But according to Tian Weng's division, there is no distinction between the Red Eyebrow soldiers and the locals in Nanyang, and each person is divided into 100 acres?"

"It must be!"

Wang Mang insisted: "The fields are all public land, and they cannot be bought or sold, and there must be no tenant farmers. We should not worry about scarcity and unevenness. Only in this way can the farmer have the land!"

During the year when Wang Mang was in exile, he occasionally heard news from the Wei State. He thought that the equality of the fifth relationship was not even equal!

First of all, the internal imbalance of the army. According to military merits, the land obtained ranges from dozens of acres to hundreds of acres. Secondly, outsiders cannot get the land, and the people of Guanzhong can only be tenants to replace the land of the fifth family. This is the evil and tyrannical system of land and houses in the early Qin and Han dynasties! How could Wang Mang follow his example?

He wants to take the opposite path, an absolutely equal well-field system!

For example, every eight households have a well, and the center is 100 acres of public land. The eight households usually have to work in the public land and hand over one-tenth of the harvest at the same time.

Wang Mang had already figured out the method of implementation: "After the autumn harvest is over, the land of the powerful counties will be concentrated, and the land will be owned by Chi and Dagong shogunate, and then the fields will be collected. After the measurement is completed, they will be divided into well fields one by one, so that they can be planted in spring."

Fan Chong felt that this move might make the poor in Nanyang support Chimei, and he agreed to give it a try near Wancheng now, but he encountered another problem.

"Wen Tian, ​​among the red eyebrows, I'm afraid that there are so many people who know each other, and they can't measure the land. The land deeds you mentioned are not enough for people to write..."

Red Eyebrows have a bad reputation in the middle class. All the scholars in Wancheng have run away. How can they find so many writers?

Wang Mang had a clever plan: "There is a group of people in the Fan Gong army who can do things to measure and record."

He refers to the Liu family, who had already left their slaves in the prison camp, who were actually still slaves. People like the Liu Penzi brothers, had more than 100 people, and most of them were well-educated. After following the Red Eyebrows for thousands of miles, the sons of the daughters were diligent and had known the five grains. It was too wasteful to use them only for herding cattle.

"How many people are sent to each county? Why are you worried about the lack of officials?"

Fan Chong was stunned and then laughed: "Okay, this strategy is very good!"

"Use the former powerful Liu family to save Tian Juntian. Tian Weng, Tian Weng, you are such a talent!"

...

Fan Chong, who also dreamed of equalizing the wealth and poverty, basically agreed to Wang Mang's proposal. When he left the county government, Wang Mang saw the "Wang Mang's head" circulating in the Red Eyebrow Army. A group of young Red Eyebrow soldiers humiliated the old man's head like kicking Cuju, and let it roll around on the ground.

But when Wang Mang bowed his head and passed by them, everyone respectfully saluted the "old priest".

Wang Mang's eyes met with the empty eye sockets of the "Wang Mang Head" on the ground. His stomach churned for a moment, and he couldn't help but run to the ditch and vomited.

Ju Wuba's big palm gently patted the old madman's back. After Wang Mang gasped, he said secretly:

"I was born with virtue, so I suffered all betrayal and hardship without dying."

"King Wen was imprisoned and performed Zhou Yi, and Zhongni was miserable and performed Spring and Autumn. If I don't die, it will be that God will give me a great responsibility!"

Wang Mang's heart was once dead and now he has recovered again, but he must find reasons for God to let himself live, such as doing a noble and great cause so that he can move himself more than self-doubt.

Then what is he doing after so many years, even killing his fallen descendants in four or five?

Wang Mang remembered that when he was young, he was an alternative to the Wang family. He was neglected by the Five Marquises and lived a period of lonely and poor life. Therefore, he became frugal and frugal. He saw the darkness of the late Han Dynasty in poverty and resentment. He wanted to change the world!

He was a great scholar and was diligent in learning from the Five Classics, but he was mainly engaged in the "Li Jing", which had a great influence on him.

Confucius said that none of the six sages, Xia Yu, Shang Tang, Zhou Wen, Wu, Cheng Wang, and Zhou Gong, did not treat etiquette as a magic weapon, used etiquette to commend justice, examine integrity, point out mistakes, follow benevolence, pay attention to courtesy, and show the people that everything has rules to follow.

However, in that era, it can only be called "well-off", the emperor and princes, the father passed on to the son, the brother passed on to the younger brother, the family and the world were private. People loved their parents, and their property was afraid that they would not belong to them, and they were intrigue and fight each other and fought each other. Even if many sages emerged, they would sooner or later go to the collapse of etiquette and music.

But Confucius said again that before this "well-off life", there was still a period of time, and that was the era when the great way still existed.

The great way is not only the way of the previous kings, but also the law of the movement of heaven and earth and all things. It is in harmony with the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and the order of the four seasons.

In the Tang and Yu era, the monarch abdicated, the officials chose the wise and capable, and the world was the world of the people!

Men and women have different paths, and each person has their own part; the people have no selfish intentions and are happy to help others. At that time, there was no intrigue and conspiracy and tricks. No one has no selfish intentions, so they will not steal, so they will not pick up their own relics on the road and do not close their doors at night. This era is called "Datong"!

In Confucius' era, rituals had collapsed and music was broken, and it was difficult to return to the Datong period of Tang and Yu, so he could only seek second best, and he was determined to restore the Zhou rituals and return to a well-off society first.

Wang Mang once wanted to make such a plan, but before he could implement the great way he wanted to practice, he was destroyed by the selfishness of the people of the world, the fifth relationship, and the ambitious people of the Liu family.

In the past, Wang Mang thought that he had too high requirements, but now it seems...

It's because he's asking too low!

"Take it from the top and get it from the inside; take it from the inside and get it from the bottom; take it from the bottom, then you will have nothing to gain."

Since that's the case, it's better to take another step in one breath and go back to "Datong" directly!

In Wang Mang's view, Red Eyebrow not only has amazing combat power, but also has this potential as the "people of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors".

Chimei was lucky enough to meet a leader like Fan Chong, who had the dream of being equal to the rich and poor. Therefore, after several years of rebellion, there was still no obvious internal division. There was no official title, but only the three elders were engaged in it. The soldiers called each other giants and believed that everyone in the Red Eyebrow army was equal, besides Fan Chong, there was another Wang Mang.

Because I have always been in exile, it is naturally difficult to divide the rich and the poor. Among the Red Eyebrows, I really feel like "there are brothers in the world".

For example, the scene Wang Mang saw when he vomited at the edge of the ditch:

A Red Eyebrow soldier was trying hard to carry a bag of food and sent it into the portal of an old man who was unable to leave Wancheng because he was old. Red Eyebrow saluted the old man with a smile on his face. Before leaving, he touched his children. After Wang Mang asked someone to inquire, he realized that they were not their father or son.

When asked again if there was any hidden information, the family quickly shook their heads, saying that the Red Eyebrow Warrior took the initiative to give food.

This moved Wang Mang: "It is not only filial to his parents, not only love his children, but also to respect the elderly and the elderly of others, and to the young of others. Even widows, widows, orphans, alone, or disabled, and sick people can be taken care of. If you hate them and abandon them on the ground, you don't have to hide them in yourself, and if you hate them, you don't have to do it for yourself. This is the case in a great harmony!"

This lonely example made Wang Mang's confidence multiply. He believed that he would definitely help Fan Chong find the great way and reach Datong with the red eyebrows. Then he would destroy all the ambitious people in this world who were inconsistent with the Datong way, regardless of the Han and Wei dynasties!

"This time, I will completely abandon my selfishness! Just for the whole world!"

However, in a place where Wang Mang could not hear or see, the Red Eyebrow Warrior who "selflessly raised others and was lonely and widowed" only breathed a sigh of relief after Wang Mang and others left, and he thought it was dangerous and scolded Weng Tian for meddling in other people's business. He was also glad that the miserable man knew each other.

He glanced at the house, and there was a figure in the window. The woman was wearing only silently clothes, crying for her fate in the future, but she was a little secretly grateful. After all, the king paid the money, the green forest was robbed in vain, and the red eyebrows gave her some food.

The robes surrounded him and joked: "Giant, this female prostitute needs to sleep with a bucket of food. What does it look like?"

Another person smiled familiarly and said, "It's not as good as a girl from the wilderness outside the city. A bucket of grain can be exchanged ten times."

The Red Eyebrow soldier spat: "I bought a bucket of grain! If they dare to repent and complain, I will throw her father out of the city to feed the dogs and kill her!"

"Aren't you not allowed to accumulate slaves?"

"Barring nonsense, this is not a slave to buy."

The Red Eyebrow Warrior laughed: "This is the 'housewife' of Sister Qin Ruo!"

...

On the other side, when Xie Lu learned that Fan Chong had agreed to the proposal of "equal land", he was furious.

"Mr. Fan is getting more and more confused!"

Their original intention was to respect Fan Chong as the emperor, but Fan Chong did not want to, so the rest were not qualified.
Chapter completed!
