After using the meal, Hao Fenglou set off and returned directly to the royal palace.

When these dusty people appeared at the gate of the palace, when the glamorous guards outside the palace saw these dust-faced people appear, they were all shocked.

Soon someone recognized Hao Fenglou and immediately entered and reported.

Immediately afterwards, Hao Zheng rushed out quickly.

When the father and son meet, there is no need to say a thousand words, just a smile and eyes are intertwined. Then Hao Zheng intimately hammered Hao Fenglou's chest and said, "It's not bad, and it's strong. Since I'm back, why don't you ask anyone to inform me in advance?"

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "My son doesn't like everything, but the Godfather is worried."

"I'm worried," Hao Zheng laughed and said, "I don't care about my son. I already know about you in Jinling. I did a good job and made great achievements in the military. Now this situation is very beneficial to the Hao family. At present, I don't feel at ease with anything, but I feel at ease with you. Come in and talk."

After entering the palace hall, I didn't have time to tell my personal relationship, so I went straight to the topic.

Hao Zheng said: "Now my father has ordered Mu Sheng to enter Sichuan and let Chen Feng enter Guizhou. Wang Zhi led his troops to Fujian and sent a navy to Quanzhou. As for the original officials, they can be allowed to stay in office for the time being. They are willing to leave, so they can also let them. However, the most important thing is to stabilize the hearts of the people. This time, the court has cut off Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan provinces. These six provinces Guangdong, Guangxi are the most stable. After all, they have been taken down by us and have maintained them well in the past or two years. The officials and merchants and people below can also be regarded as the same as us. As for Yunnan, the Mu family has been operating there for many years, and the chieftains there only recognize the Mu family but not the court. The Mu family rebels. As long as the Mu family has no unfair intentions towards us, I don't think so.

What big problem is there? In fact, Chen Xue has penetrated the two places in Fujian and Guizhou. Now that the army is invading, there will be obstacles, but it will not be hindered. The most important thing is now. Sichuan, Sichuan is vast and has a large population. The most important thing is to capture the hearts of the people. In addition to Mu Sheng bringing 30,000 elite troops into Sichuan, I also plan to station a new army in, with the number of people remaining at least 50,000. In addition, Chen Xue has been mobilized. I discussed with some great scholars of Chen Xue. Let them organize a team of thousands of people to go there immediately. In addition, most of the gentry of Sichuan people are hostile to us. I want to send someone to contact them and have a good talk..."

Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "Father, don't talk."

Hao Zheng said with a serious expression: "Why is this?"

Hao Fenglou sneered: "The landlords and gentry are incompatible with us. Even if they see that we have great power and power, they will tolerate it for the time being. But it does not mean that they are really willing to provide for our mission. Once something happens, they are the root of the chaos. If that is the case, why should we stabilize them? The enemy is the enemy, and the friend is the friend. The Hao family's foundation depends on wherever it comes from. As for others, they do not need to pay attention to it. Instead, they must completely resolve it."

Seeing that Hao Feng was murderous intent on the floor, Hao Zheng knew what to do.

Hao Zheng said: "What my father is worried about now is that once this happens, it will cause uneasiness. Moreover, the gentry in the court is afraid that they will be more hostile to us."

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "In the past, our Hao family was only a small corner of the land and only had 100,000 soldiers. At that time, we had to give some compromises, and even tried our best not to offend some gentry. But now it is very different. Now the offensive and defensive momentum is different. First of all, we must understand who is our friend and who is our enemy. If we can't even tell the difference between this and just compromise will not only hinder our friends from getting rich, but also allow our enemies to breathe. These landlords and gentry have a lot of

The land, with countless tenant farmers and farmers under his command, and they have many inexplicable relationships with the government. They have always regarded us as bandits. Even if the court cut off Sichuan and other places, they may obey on the surface and dare not resist blatantly, but they inevitably make many small moves behind their backs and even wait for the opportunity. If we have a smooth flow, they will fight back without hesitation. Keeping them will be a disaster. Instead of pleasing them, it is better to bring more people to our side."

Hao Zheng frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "Actually, my son thinks that many of the laws Wang Mang reorganized are quite good."

Hao Zheng was stunned.

Wang Mang was a very famous figure. This kind of gentleman was unprecedented. He usurped the Han Dynasty and then started Wang Mang's new policy. As a result, it turned out that the world was rebelled because of his restructuring. Wang Mang's new dynasty died in just a few years.

Speaking of which, Wang Mang, his reforms alone, were really eye-catching things for Hao Fenglou in later generations, such as the nationalization of salt, iron, wine, currency, mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, redistributed arbitration of the slavery system, and established a five-even credit loan and six-digit policy, and carried out large-scale reforms in the Zhou ritual model that returned to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The most interesting thing about it is land reform, such as changing the name of Tianxiatian fields and "Wangtian", and slaves said "private families", and they are not allowed to buy and sell. The man's mouth is not eight, and the fields pass through a well are divided into remaining fields for nine tribes and neighbors of the neighbors, so there is no land. Now those who should receive land are in the system, and those who dare not have the sage system of the well fields and cannot confuse the public, will be surrendered to the four descendants to protect the demons.

This means that the private ownership of land is abolished and the state-owned land is implemented, and private individuals are not allowed to buy or sell it; a family with eight males can receive a well of land, that is, nine hundred acres; a family with less than eight males and more than nine hundred acres of land must be distributed to the clan neighbors; those who originally had no land shall receive land according to the above system. Second, slaves are renamed "private relatives" and cannot be bought or sold.

In this way, it was equivalent to a great restriction of the landlords and gentry. At that time, the Xin Dynasty was full of powerful people, with most wealthy families occupying tens of thousands of acres of land and crowded slaves. On the other hand, ordinary people had no place to stand. Theoretically, Wang Mang's reform and the land reforms of various countries in later generations had many similarities.

But Wang Mang failed, not only failed, but also suffered a very bad defeat. If we really find out the reason, Hao Fenglou had only one conclusion, that is, Wang Mang wanted to suppress a group of vested interests, but did not create a group of new interest groups.

In later generations, there were always people criticizing the interest groups, but they did not know that in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, any country had a stable interest group. Because this political system was beneficial to interest groups, these people became the stabilizers of the country. For example, Rome used citizens to "a certain degree of aristocrats" to check and balance slaves and Manchus. The Zhou Dynasty used "princes" and "nationals" (equivalent to citizens) to control savages (equivalent to slaves) and foreign races. After the Han Dynasty, aristocrats and literati (landlords) to control the world. After the Industrial Revolution, emerging merchant interest groups appeared, but were dissatisfied with the old gentry and aristocrats, so they started a struggle. In the end, the merchant group won and seized the dominance of the country.

The stupidity of Wang Mang is that he used the reform to defeat the old interest groups, but did not create the interest groups. Therefore, officials disobeyed the reform because these officials were members of the old interest groups, and local tyrants rose up one after another because Wang Mang touched their interests. The crux of the problem was here. When Wang Mang wanted to carry out land reform, it might be based on the concept of harmony in the world or for the need for stable rule, but all resources in the world were concentrated.

In the era of powerful people, offending powerful people is undoubtedly seeking death. As for the ordinary people who may benefit from the reform, most of them are ignorant and ignorant, and their ancestors have rented land for powerful people for generations, and their descendants are dependent on the powerful people. They have no knowledge. All their knowledge comes from the "education" of powerful people. To put it bluntly, they cannot tell the difference between good and bad. Only when the powerful people say good will they instill in them, they will applaud, and only after the powerful people say bad will they instill in them will they feel bad.

The most important thing is that because there are no new interest groups, Wang Mang's restructuring is just a piece of paper, because no one helps Wang Mang to implement his new policy. Often, the laws of the new policy are beyond recognition when they arrive at the local level, and instead become a tool for the powerful to use this to exploit the people.

Of course, no one can deny Wang Mang's reform and theoretically advanced nature.

It’s just that anything is too advanced and surpasses the situation of its era. To talk about advanced things is a matter of seeking fish from a tree.

However, Hao Fenglou believed that now... the time has come for this new era he created.

Hao Fenglou already has an emerging interest group. He no longer needs the support of the gentry. He has enough personnel to implement his ideas. Most importantly, this old group has now been abandoned by their court and has become a bargaining chip for the court to make peace with Lang San, which means that he can let go.
