"And the most troublesome thing is that now Duan Ye's reputation has been beaten, since everyone knows that he is capable, they all think that he can solve problems, this is his Duan Ye's biggest talisman, because in the past, there has never been such a person, and as soon as such a person is caught, he will be highly recognized, so if anyone moves him, he will have to bear a lot of unexpected consequences." Wei Bin said. 【n Look】

"That's what the gentleman said." Fu Hong thought for a while, "But is it difficult, we won't move him?" Just let him go? "Not really, and not really!" Wei Bin said, "This time, it is a rare opportunity, and it is also the last chance!" We must curb Duan Ye! "So what does Sir think should be done?" Fu Hongdao. "There are two ways." Wei Bin said, "One is naturally trying to get rid of him, but in fact, there is another way." "How?" "Reclaim him!" Wei Bin said. "This ...... Is it possible? Fu Hong was a little afraid to think about it. Why is it impossible? Wei Bin said, "Think about it, Duan Ye is making trouble now, for what?" "He wants the world." "It's not just that." Wei Bin said, "I think he is more like he wants to realize his ideals." "How?" "Lao Yu once went to Liangzhou and had face-to-face communication with that period of industry, in my opinion, that period of industry is indeed the one who seeks it, but it is more like a means for him to achieve his ideals, rather than an end." "Rich in the world, Ze will be the future generations, doesn't he want to?" "Your Majesty, now in the world, how many people are richer than Duan Ye?" Wei Bin asked rhetorically.

Fu Hong had nothing to say about this.

Indeed, Duan Ye's current business is really all over the world, and there is his business everywhere, so naturally it is where the money is earned.

"If you want to be prosperous and rich, he already has it, if you want to be hereditary, it is estimated that no one can take away his strength in Liangzhou. And as long as he keeps to himself, no matter who sits in the country, he will not go to Liangzhou, what is the difference between him and the Emperor Tu? ”

Fu Hong was silent, because he had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense.

"The point is to say that Duan Ye level once said something to me, he said, all brothers in the four seas, all life is equal! The old man thought that this was his ideal. Wei Bin said slowly.

"How is this possible?" Fu Hong said, "We and ordinary people, this ...... How can this be equal? is what equality there is between him Duan Ye and the people of Liangzhou? ”

"Yes, not now." Wei Bin said, "But if he becomes the lord of the world, he may have!" Because, he has the power to change. ”

"He doesn't have it!" Fu Hong's voice raised, "Wang Mang, Uncle Wang Mang, remember!" This guy, he has also become the lord of the world, and he also wants to change the world according to his ideals, what is the result? As a result, the world rebelled, everyone opposed him, and as a result, the Green Forest Army and the Red Eyebrow Army were raging, and the people were struggling to make a living. ”

Wei Bin was also silent, this Wang Mang, how could he not know.

During the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was an important member of the Wang family, a relative of the family, who was humble and frugal, a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and was known as a prestige in the court and the opposition. At the end of the dynasty, the social contradictions were unprecedentedly intensified, and it was time to destroy the country, and at this critical moment, Wang Mang was regarded by the government and the opposition as the best candidate to save the situation, and was regarded as the Duke of Zhou alive.

Wang Mang is a person with excellent moral cultivation, not greedy for money and not lustful, courteous and virtuous, and kind to him, all in all, any good adjective you can think of is always right to use on Wang Mang.

Later, Wang Mang took over the power of the world from the Han Emperor as a matter of course and began to reform vigorously.

As soon as his reform measures were introduced, not only his enemies were dumbfounded, but the people of the world were dumbfounded, and even his core supporters were all dumbfounded, and they didn't know what you wanted to do.

Wang Mang's policies are probably as follows. The first one is enough to shock everyone, that is, the land is state-owned, the dead are not allowed to buy and sell, and the ancient well field system that was abolished 1,200 years ago is restored. For a family of less than eight people, the cultivated land shall not exceed 900 mu, and the excess land shall be confiscated or directly distributed by the landlord to his neighbors or family members. Then, on this basis, the arable land was redistributed: tenant farmers who had no land were given land by the government. Based on the principle of 100 mu for a couple, if it is less than 100 mu, the government shall make up for it.

And when everyone was still dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, Wang Mang was not finished, he not only wanted to move the land system, but also wanted to move bigger.

Wang Mang publicly issued an edict announcing the freezing of the slavery system, mainly because the opposition was too strong and was not abolished immediately, but Wang Mang still announced that it would be frozen within 20 years and that all slaves and maids would be prohibited from continuing to buy and sell, so as to limit the scope and number of slaves from expanding, so that when this batch of slaves gradually died, the slavery system would have no basis for existence, so that it could finally be eliminated naturally.

In addition, Wang Mang's important measures are also the forced labor system, that is, all unemployed vagrants, if they do not do things all the time, each person will be fined one horse of cloth per year, and those who are unable to pay will be forced to work by the government, and during the labor period, the government will provide food and clothing. The monopoly system, the monopoly of wine, salt, and ironware, the imperial court issued currency uniformly, and in the past, any rich man could make silver money, but Wang Mang announced that he would withdraw this authorization. Moreover, in the future, the natural resources of the mountain water will be owned by the state and exploited by the government.

The most criticized is the loan system that Wang Mang strongly advocated, it turned out that at that time, there were often people who were short of money, Wang Mang saw this, and announced that the people could borrow money from the government for sacrificial or funeral needs, without interest. However, if a loan is taken for the purpose of running an agribusiness business, the government collects one-tenth of the principal and interest of the net profit.

In addition, Wang Mang hated merchants for hoarding and manipulating prices, so Wang Mang simply announced that from now on, the government would control prices and prevent merchants from manipulating the market, so as to eliminate the inequality between the rich and the poor. When there is an oversupply of daily necessities such as food, cloth, and silk, the government will buy them according to the cost. When demand exceeds supply, the government sells to stop prices from rising.

Since the proclamation of the order, all industry and commerce, including fishing and hunting, divination, doctors, hotels, and women's families raising silkworms and weaving cloth, used to operate freely, and now the government levies income tax on one-tenth of the net profits.

Of course, the government collects this money, and it is also earmarked, because it has to use this income as a loan or to stabilize prices. In his tax reform, in addition to expanding the scope of industrial and commercial tax to levy lazy contributions, Wang Mang also put forward the taxation principle of "in addition to the capital, counting the profits, and eleventh", in fact, in Duan Ye's view, this is the pioneer of income tax.

"Wang Mang, this person looks very smart, but he is actually very stupid!" Fu Hong finally said, "He has the best conditions and the most support, but in the end he did that thing and finally collapsed the country, I really don't want Duan Ye to be like this!" If it is really such a person and such an ideal, then for the sake of the livelihood of the world, I must also get rid of him! ”

Wei Bin pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Fu Hong was also a little excited, and said, "Uncle, I have decided!" We have to prepare for the worst! ”

Wei Bin nodded and said, "I always support you, but you've been hanging him out for a few days, so it's almost over." ”

"Then we will summon him?" Fu Hong said.

"That's not necessary." Wei Bin said, "He'll come to the door." ”

……

"Wang Mang, sometimes I really wonder if he is not a person of this era at all." Duan Ye gently stroked a copy of Wang Mang's biography and said.

Cui Hao smiled at this time, "My lord, I won't tell you anything, many of your statements and measures before also made Xiao Ke startled. ”

"Oh?" Duan Ye said, "You also think I'm Wang Mang?" ”

"Well, a little." Cui Hao said honestly, "My lord's goal at that time was also extremely ambitious, but ...... With all due respect, the space and pattern of adults at that time were not so big, and Xiao Ke was also worried about whether adults were a little ambitious and unrealistic at that time. ”

"And now?"

"Now that the adults have proved in practice that you are a pragmatic and cautious person, you are a small concern." Cui Hao said. "But I don't think Wang Mang is too ambitious." Duan Ye Dao. "I want to hear about it." "In fact, many of Wang Mang's policies are not as unrealistic as you think, I can only say that Wang Mang's resistance is too great, many things, his intentions are good, and the details have been taken into account, but the people below him, for their own interests, deliberately messed things up, and as a result, good things have become bad things, such as the slave thing you said, Xiao Cui, let me ask you, do you also think, should there be slaves in this world?" Cui Hao hesitated and said: "Actually, Xiao Ke never felt that there was anything wrong in the past, because since he was a child, there were slaves in the family, but now, Xiao Ke thinks that people really shouldn't be goods that can be bought and sold." ”

"That's right." Duan Ye said, "But you and I think so, and there are probably many people in Liangzhou who can think so, but what about those who have slaves at home?" What about those who bought and sold slaves? They don't think so, if Wang Mang does this, it will cut off their financial route, that is, they will want their lives. But although they can't resist openly, but they make a trick and make a stumbling block, isn't there a lot of way? Wang Mang can't do anything, then naturally his prestige will decline, the people don't trust, the officials don't respect, and there are so many other things in the future, isn't it fate. ”
