Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 484 Another Traveler (Subscribe)
"Clang, clang. clang.!"

In the early morning, the bronze bell of Dunhuafang rang. When the bell rang, it meant that it was time for breakfast. At this time, the cafeteria prepared a steaming breakfast for everyone. If you need it, you can take your own brand to get it. .

After the fight, go home and eat with your family, and the little bachelors without family will eat by themselves.

Of course, you don’t have to call it, so you can save a little money, and then do it yourself at home, but the second time the bronze bell rings after this time, it’s time to go to work.

15 minutes after the second bronze bell, it is official work. Don’t be late. If you are late, you must have a reason. If you overslept, you will have to deduct money.

"Get up!!"

Li Heng and Li Mingda are hugging and sleeping very sweetly at this time, and there is a laptop beside them. You don't need to guess. The two must have stayed up late last night. The laptop should be out of power. Come to recharge.

"What time is it?" Li Mingda asked without opening his eyes.

"It's almost seven o'clock, and Li Heng is going to class." Li You replied.

"What does that have to do with me, fifth brother, you take Heng'er out, I'm sleepy!" After finishing speaking, Li Mingda pouted impatiently, and ruthlessly asked his fifth brother to take his eldest niece away. Give it a hug.

"Cut!" Li You hugged Li Heng speechlessly, then directly squeezed Li Mingda's small face, and then left Li Mingda's room.

"Father, I don't want to go to school." Leaning in Li You's ear, Li Heng said sleepily.

Hehe Li You laughed helplessly. Seriously, Li You really wanted to give Li Heng a happy childhood. In Li You's view, Li Heng really didn't need to study when he was five years old, he just had to play happily. up.

Of course, Li Heng also thinks the same way. You must know that Li Heng grew up playing in the mountains, and now you suddenly let her learn. To be honest, she is also resistant.

It's just that it doesn't matter what Li You said. Now that Li Heng's education is being taught at home, Quan Zhixi and a group of women have already voted for Li You.

Girls have to be educated from an early age, what is a lady, what is knowledge, that is to learn, to play?Don't be kidding, how can a girl have time to play, although there is also a girl who stands by Li You, that is Xiao Yan.

She also thinks that playing is actually very important, but it is a pity that she does not have much ownership of Li Heng. Shao Yiyi is Li Heng's mother in name, and Quan Zhixi is Li Heng's eldest mother. , There is no room for others to dictate.

"Come to grandma and come to Heng'er, and see what grandma brought you?" Chun Niang took out a chocolate in her hand and smiled, "Heng'er, go to school obediently, and when you come back from school, grandma will give Heng'er Eat this chocolate."

"Thank you, grandma." Li Heng threw himself into Chunniang's arms.

Then Chunniang smiled and said to Li You: "Master, Yueying is waiting for you to wash up, please wash up first, I will take Heng'er with you."

"Then there will be mother-in-law."

After Li You gave Li Heng to Chun Niang, he went to the bathroom. At this time, Yueying was already waiting there. Seeing Li You coming, she immediately went up to wash Li You, dipping her fingers in a little salt.

Yue Ying carefully wiped the teeth in Li You's mouth, asked Li You to rinse his mouth, and then washed Li You's face. All of these did not require Li You's hands, and Yue Ying did it all by himself.

Some people will definitely say that Li You has degenerated. Indeed, Li You has degenerated, but this degeneration is not what Li You wants, because Li You is actually helpless, and this is what exists in this era.

The so-called existence is reasonable, if Li You is unwilling to let Yueying do this, it will hurt Yueying's heart.

Just like if Li You and Quan Zhixi were talking about monogamy, Quan Zhixi would ask Li You, do you think I am a jealous person?
That’s it, the thinking is different. Li You once read some novels, saying that in ancient times, a democratic system was created and a parliament was established. It can be possible, but it must go through the guidance of many generations of culture, and it cannot be established suddenly by you. .

Because people's thinking is very stubborn, let me give you an example. Who.?

Everyone knows Wang Mang. It is said that Wang Mang is a time traveler. Why do people in later generations believe that Wang Mang is a time traveler? The main reason is that some of his behaviors are too similar to some modern measures.

Moreover, Wang Mang's speech, behavior and way of thinking are not at all like the ancients 2000 years ago. On the contrary, he is particularly like the young people who were influenced by the new school movement when New China was first established.

Imagine that your uncles are all Da Sima (commander-in-chief of the national military), the queen mother is your aunt, nine of your relatives are enshrined as marquises, and your cousins ​​are all domineering and extravagant. Growing up in this environment, what would you do? To use Li Yunlong's classic lines, that is: study? Learn a fart!
But do you know what Wang Mang is doing? Living a simple life, being respectful, diligent and studious, taking care of his mother and sister-in-law, raising his brother’s bereaved son, respecting the corporal externally, and being filial to his uncle internally, he can almost be awarded the “National Moral Model” right?

Later, when he started to be an official, all the famous ministers in the court actively recommended Wang Mang, and said good things about Wang Mang in the ears of Emperor Han Cheng every day. Emperor Han Cheng saw that Wang Mang was indeed perfect, so he named him a marquis and made him Guanglu The doctor's servant (the emperor's bodyguard), the average person will probably start to drift a little bit when they get to this point, but what about Wang Mang? He has become more thrifty, and even distributed his salary to the diners and commoners, and sold his carriage to help The poor, so that the common people saw him as if they were seeing a living Bodhisattva.

A few years later, Wang Mang's uncle, Wang Gen, was in poor health, so he recommended Wang Mang to succeed Sima. In his 30s, he has become the commander-in-chief of the national military. He has great power and a very strong background. At this moment, should he put on some official airs and enjoy his life? But what is the actual situation? The more Wang Mang becomes an official, his life will be reversed. The more frugal he was, he used all his salary and bonuses to entertain celebrities, and he lived a very simple life.

Wang Mang is very simple, and more importantly, he is not only simple himself, he also asked his aunt, the Queen Mother, to take the lead in simplicity. He used all his money and land to help the common people, so that all officials were kidnapped by morality , forced to follow suit and donate.

There was a flood in Hebei, Wang Mang said it was his fault, he only ate vegetarian food, not wine and meat, and there was a drought in the south, Wang Mang said that he was not devout enough, so he took the lead in bathing and changing clothes.In order to resettle the victims, he not only revoked the royal Huchi Garden, but also built more than 1000 houses in Chang'an City for the victims to live in. All of a sudden, everyone said that Wang Mang was the reincarnation of a saint, and public opinion completely turned to Wang Mang.

Many people will definitely think that Wang Mang is pretending, and I thought so at first, but then another thing happened.Wang Mang’s second son killed a house slave. How would this kind of thing be resolved? In most cases, the house slave was buried and compensated, as if nothing had happened; Maybe it will be like Cao Cao's "cutting hair and replacing the head" to go through the motions and beat his son up, but do you know what Wang Mang did? He directly let his son commit suicide.You say this is fake? Then the cost is too high.

What's even more frightening is that after Wang Mang became emperor, what he did further confirmed his identity as a time traveler.

In the first step, he nationalized the land and distributed it equally, renamed Tianxiatian as 'Wangtian', and restored the well field system under the name of Wangtian system.

In the second step, he abolished slavery, and slaves were renamed 'private property', which could not be bought or sold like land.

In the third step, he controlled prices, effectively prevented merchants from speculating, and allowed some farmers to apply for loans from the state, and they could also apply for interest-free loans when they encountered funerals and sacrifices.

In the fourth step, he took all wine, salt, and iron as state-owned, and some forests and mines were all state-owned, and private mining must obtain the consent of the state.

In the fifth step, he forced those unemployed vagrants to participate in labor, and those who did not participate in labor would be fined and labored for a small amount, resulting in a sudden improvement in law and order.

In the sixth step, he strongly encouraged the development of science and technology.

Everyone will definitely say, wow. After that, the people will live a comfortable life, but on the contrary, these policies of Wang Mang are actually seriously out of touch with the national conditions at that time.

Although these policies are good, they violate objective laws.Such as the "Wang Tian System", the national land is nationalized and redistributed according to the well field system.Here Wang Mang intended to immediately eliminate land annexation, and his intentions were not good at the beginning, but this policy violated the law of development of feudal private ownership of land at that time, which was doomed to failure.

Some people will definitely say that it is always right to abolish slavery.

The fact is that Wang Mang changed slaves to "private" and prohibited the trading of slaves. His original intention was to stop the expansion of the number of slaves and solve the increasingly serious problem of slaves in society.

However, this measure was also opposed by the slave-holding families and the landless people, because the prohibition of the slave trade not only violated the interests of the bureaucrats and the rich, but also cut off the road for the peasants who had lost their land and had nowhere to go. A way to survive by selling oneself into slavery.

Having said so much, I want to warn the later travelers of the inevitability of history. If the reform does not conform to the historical trend, does not conform to the development of productive forces at that time, and does not conform to the interests of the people, it will inevitably fail.

The establishment of a parliament and a democratic system are all possible and feasible, but the Tang Dynasty cannot realize it. It requires the efforts of several generations or even a dozen generations. Li You is now a member of the Tang Dynasty, and he will moderately change some bad things. places, but most of Li You cannot be changed, the emperor must have it, and the generals and princes must also exist.

Li You will not deliberately change, nor can he forcefully change, many things must conform to the current trend, just like clear tea, the modern taste is first-class, but it just can't sell the current popular boiled tea in Datang.
