subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Li Xuan changed the new year to the first year of Guangming, wanting to have a better start.But he doesn't know how to change the general trend of the world by changing the yuan?

The imperial treasury was empty, so Li Xuan thought of Gao Pian, the newly appointed Jiangnan salt and iron envoy, and issued an edict to Gao Pian to ask Gao Pian to borrow money from the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, first lending half of his property for military supplies.Gao Pian is not a fool, of course he knows that the so-called borrowing by the court is expropriation, how can there be a day of repayment?

Gao Pian immediately pushed back. Gao Pian's meaning is very obvious, that is to say, it is the poor people who rebelled all over the world, and now only those rich businessmen have not rebelled. You let them accumulate their hard work like this. Taking out half of the property of several lifetimes, isn't it obvious that they are going to force them to rebel?

Emperor Li Xuan received Gao Pian's memorandum, and cursed inwardly: "This world belongs to my Li family, so where is it your turn, Gao Pian, to teach me a lesson?" Parallel conviction.

Li Yan didn't understand the truth, the old and sophisticated guys in the court knew the importance of Gao Pian, and hurriedly advised the emperor not to worry, everything was negotiable, at worst, it would not be too late to settle accounts with Gao Pian after he wiped out Huang Chao.Li Xuan just gave up.

At this time, Zhu Wen followed Huang Chao to fight in the south of the Yangtze River. Of course, Huang Ying was also in the army and often fought side by side with Zhu Wen. The two developed a deeper relationship during the war. people get married.Huang Ying secretly delighted after hearing this, but Zhu Wen just smiled and didn't answer, the two of them were tacit understanding.

Ever since Shang Rang met Liu Jinzhi, he couldn't get rid of the coquettish shadow in his mind, so he often walked around Zhu Wen's place with his old face, just wanting to see Liu Jinzhi more often.

Of course Liu Jinzhi is not a fool. As a woman, her natural intuition told herself that the old man Shang Rang must have taken a fancy to her.Liu Jinzhi also knew that Shang Rang's prestige in the rebel army was beyond Zhu Wen's. It can be said that Shang Rang was only under Huang Chao in the rebel army.She also thought about whether she could marry him. Although Rang was older, he was powerful and powerful after all.

The wishful man in a woman's heart is nothing more than young, rich, powerful and powerful. Although Shang Rang is no longer young, other conditions are still fully in line with the requirements of a woman.

Shang Rang came more often, Zhu Wen naturally felt it, and couldn't help cursing Shang Rang secretly: "Old pervert!"

However, Zhu Wen is from the 21st century after all. He feels that although Shang Rang is older, after all, he belongs to free love, Shang Rang is widowed, and Liu Jinzhi is abandoned by her husband. She didn't sell her status as a nanny to herself, so she certainly had no right to interfere.Coupled with the open social atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty, free love is not uncommon, so Zhu Wen let them develop.

Of course, Huang Ying is also a frequent visitor to Zhu Wen's place. Regarding Shang Rang's actions, Huang Ying can only sigh: "It seems that Uncle Shang wants to be an old cow to eat young grass. He is so old that he doesn't lose years. It seems that I still Underestimate him."

Zhu Wen, who was drinking tea, heard Huang Ying's words, spit out all the water in his mouth with a "pop", and said with a smile: "How can you talk like that? People are so old-hearted, you don't know about Dusk Love ah?"

Huang Ying's eyes widened and she asked in confusion, "What is Twilight Love?" Huang Ying really didn't understand this term.

Zhu Wen explained: "Twilight Love is when old people talk about love, which is what is usually called talking about marriage."

Huang Ying said with a "puchi" smile: "It's really you, you can come up with such a creative word as 'Twilight Love'."

Zhu Wen's heart burst into sweat. I didn't come up with this word. Everyone knew it in our era. I didn't expect it to become a new term here.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in mid-February, Huang Chao caused ups and downs in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one could stop him. The Western Observation Envoy and other yamen can only protect themselves, how can they have the ability to check and balance Huang Chao?

This gave Huang Chao an opportunity to take advantage of Jiangnan, including Xiarao (now Boyang, Jiangxi), Xin (Shangrao), Chi (now Guichi, Anhui), She (Shexian), Wu (now Jinhua, Zhejiang), Mu ( Today's Jiande) and other states have gained momentum.

Zhu Wen once again proposed the idea of ​​letting Huang Chao take root in the south of the Yangtze River as a foundation. Zhu Wen said: "Nowadays, the rebel army is flourishing. If it continues to fight as before, it will not be conducive to the development and growth of the rebel army. If there is no stable base, the army's food, grass, The preparation of reserve materials cannot be carried out efficiently, and relying on war alone to support war is not the answer after all."

Huang Chao had also thought about this problem, but he was unable to settle down because of the situation.

At this time, there was an opportunity to establish a foundation in the affluent land in the south of the Yangtze River. Huang Chao was also willing to do so. The two masters and apprentices hit it off, and found Zhang Yan, who had a set of laws, production, water, etc., and the three discussed together. The strategy of taking root in Jiangnan!

Huang Chao handed over the affairs of foreign wars to his two younger brothers, Meng Kai, Shang Rang, Ge Congzhou, Hu Zhen and others. Zhu Wenwen and Zhang Yan were responsible for the implementation of internal affairs.

Zhu Wen suddenly became a busy man again, busy revising laws and planning land reform. This is a very bold move. In this feudal era, it is difficult for Zhu Wen to determine whether it can be successfully implemented.He wouldn't really think that a person in those time-traveling novels could establish a powerful legal society after traveling to ancient times and copying the modern system. That's just a dream.

After all, the establishment of a complete legal system was not a matter of overnight. Under the social conditions at that time, it was even less likely that the government's decrees would undergo major changes. Once radical political measures appeared, it would definitely cause an uproar.

It can be said that it is impossible to establish a civilized society ruled by law in the Tang Dynasty, when the feudal system was deeply rooted.

Every change in government order will involve the interests of tens of thousands or even tens of millions of people, and if every link is not handled properly, it will cause unexpected consequences.After all, governing a country is not a child's play, how can it be as simple as child's play as some time-travel novels say?

The drafting of the decree and the specific implementation step by step must first be tried at a certain point, and then gradually promoted, which will take time.It needs to be tested step by step, and each step cannot be accomplished overnight, and the whole process cannot be completed in a matter of years or decades.

The first thing Zhu Wen faced was the administration of officials. If the administration of officials was corrupt and the officials were mixed, no matter how good the policy was, it would be impossible to implement it.This kind of situation is not uncommon even in the relatively civilized and open 21st century, let alone in that era of extremely backward transportation and communication?

Once a local official serves as a local official in a certain place, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, as if he has become the local emperor, controlling the life and death of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. s consequence?

Thinking of these things, Zhu Wen couldn't help but feel his head was as big as a bucket.

I found Zhang Yan to discuss it for a long time, but I was at a loss. Administration of officials was not Zhang Yan's strong point. Zhang Yan's strong point was drafting laws and implementing specific policies on agriculture and water conservancy.The two looked at each other and smiled wryly together.

If the administration of officials is not good enough, all other policies are nonsense. No matter how enlightened your imperial government's decrees are, how can the officials below collude and conceal each other, how can they be truly implemented?

Most of the states and counties occupied by the rebel army are directly managed by the occupied army, and most of the generals are from poor people. How can they know how to govern the country?And how can they really respect the decrees made by Zhu Wen and the others?

All of this troubled Zhu Wen, and he didn't know what to do.
