In the feudal centralized era, the quality of an emperor was directly related to the rise and fall of the country. This was impossible unless this feudal system was overturned.

But how could the feudal system that lasted for thousands of years be overthrown? It is said that Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty once tried it, but died miserably.

For example, judging from the policy of Wang Mang's rule, he is really like a selfless socialist, promoting social reforms that seek benefits for the hard-working masses and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. What he does is not like what he could have thought of in that era more than two thousand years ago.

Wang Mang is a very controversial figure in history, and even some good people say that he is an absolute time traveler. However, he is probably the most failed time traveler.

Wang Mang attaches great importance to new technology. Wang Mang is obsessed with many new things that Confucianism regards as strange skills and tricks. It is said that he once dissected the human body by himself. At that time, some people in the people wanted to invent the flying instrument Wang Mang personally met the man and gave money to fund it. This shows that Wang Mang's "decisive role of technology on productivity."

Another thing is that land is nationalized and private transactions are prohibited. The land is reshuffled, and farmers without land will be divided into 100 acres of land. Wang Mang mandated that if the land is per capita, the families who occupy more land will be either rich, powerful or ordinary people, must immediately hand over the land unconditionally. They must be distributed to the poor, and the land is not allowed to be traded and mortgaged. Isn’t this the product of socialist thinking?

That's right, Zhu Cixuan once implemented this system. However, he is not as stupid as Wang Mang. Wang Mang did this directly touch the interests of those big landlord groups, so he would naturally not give up with him.

Zhu Cilang is different. The Ming Dynasty has been reshuffled after several rampages and destruction by the Qing Dynasty and bandits. At this time, land redistribution will make the contradiction less acute.

At that time, it was a feudal system, and it was the landlords. Wang Mang's land policy was not actually beneficial. Instead, the dominant landlords offended him, so many people said that he was a time traveler.

Just these? No, of course it's more than that.

Wang Mang hated the slave system very much and prohibited the sale of slaves. The sale of slaves was truly realized after the liberation of New China. Wang Mang also seemed to have the glorious idea of ​​"people are born equal" in modern people. Human life is the most precious thing in the world, which was once the slogan proposed by Wang Mang. The sale of people is a sinful act of "reverse to the heart of heaven and against human ethics", and must be stopped immediately.

Wine, iron and salt are collected as a national monopoly. The imperial court controlled prices and cracked down on merchants' squatting of goods. Merchants' goods were sold at will below the court's price. The prices were higher than the city level. The Si Municipal Official sold them according to the city level. If the goods were lower than the city level, they would be followed by the people's business. When daily necessities such as Bubo were unsold, the Si Municipal Official bought them at the main price.

Those who operate business and rural businesses can borrow money from the court, and the court collects one-tenth of the profit. If a loan is made for sacrifices or funerals, the court can borrow money without interest.

Balance taxes, craftsmen, or other trading houses collect income taxes to calm prices and loan expenses.

Chang'an City once invested and built five miles, with a total of 200 residential communities with low-rent housing, for the poor to rent cheaply.

All of these are showing Wang Mang's forward consciousness.

In particular, the unearthed vernier caliper from the Wang Mang period is simply a product of modern technology. This is really amazing if simply described by the wisdom of the ancients.

Ganquan Town, Hanjiang District, Yangzhou City, cleaned a brick chamber tomb from the early Eastern Han Dynasty, and a copper caliper was unearthed from the tomb. This copper caliper is composed of parts such as fixed rulers and movable rulers. A guide groove is opened in the middle, and a guide pin that can be rotated and adjusted is built into the groove, which moves left and right along the guide groove. There is an indirect ring handle between the movable rulers and movable claws, which is convenient for tethers or grasping. When the two claws are combined, the fixed ruler and movable ruler are equal in length. When using it, hold the fish-shaped handle with the left hand, and pull the ring handle with the right hand, and pull it left and right to measure the workpiece.

This measuring tool can not only measure the diameter of the object, but also measure its depth, length, width and thickness, which are convenient and accurate than the ruler. Unfortunately, due to the age of time, the measurement scales and chronological inscriptions on the fixed ruler and movable ruler have been rusted and difficult to identify. Compared with modern vernier calipers, the two have surprising similarities.

Modern vernier calipers are mainly composed of main ruler, fixed jaw, vernier frame, movable jaw, vernier ruler, 100-minute screw, slider, etc., while copper calipers are composed of fixed ruler, fixed jaw, fish-shaped handle, guide groove, guide pin, combined sleeve, movable ruler, movable claw, handle, etc. From the main components, the fixed ruler and movable ruler of copper calipers are the main ruler and secondary ruler of modern vernier calipers; the combination sleeve, guide groove and guide pin of copper calipers are the vernier frames.

The reason why Wang Mang failed was that he was too quick and too fast, and he was prone to taking some excessive policy measures to harm the interests of most people and lead to reforming the social foundation of the landless. This was like Chongzhen, so he was too hurrying.

Of course, Zhu Cilang was not so stupid. The feudal era could only follow the development laws of the feudal era. Otherwise, all unrealistic reforms would eventually be to dig their own graves for themselves.

Therefore, even if you ascend the throne to the emperor in the future, you will definitely not be able to use the method of using factory guards to cure greed.

Only by introducing a complete government system can corruption be eliminated from the root.

Since Chongzhen figured it out, he wanted to give way. Then Zhu Cixuan felt that he had no reason to refuse.

"Father, you have to think clearly. This is abdication." Zhu Cixuan asked again.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "You are my flesh and blood. Isn't it the same thing that is handed over to you in my hands? Don't worry and do it boldly, I'm waiting for your good news in the capital."

The palace people outside the Qianqing Palace only saw the emperor and the prince talking about the night of the candle. The people outside the window were silly, and the emperor and the prince had no idea what they had talked about. Anyway, the two had been chatting for a long time.

Then, Zhu Cilang took charge and went to the battle.

That's right, it's that simple. Since the supply of food, grass and military pay has come, the Hu Ben Army naturally took the brunt of the vanguard, and in addition it is Shenji Camp.

At this time, the Shenji Camp had already replaced the bird guns and cannons, all of which were replaced with flintlock guns. This army seemed to be completely separated from the shadow of the Cold Weapon Age.

Zhu Cixuan asked the Hu Ben Army camp to conduct some modern and modern war training early in the morning. This made the 80,000 Qing army that went on this expedition almost have the strategies and tactics of hot weapons in modern and modern wars.

Especially the improved flintlock rifle, its ammunition loading speed and shooting accuracy have been greatly improved. Zhu Cixuan also has reason to believe that once the Qing Dynasty fights with him, he will know what the mighty Ming Dynasty is.
