Chapter 82
Leeches are awesome.

After Jiao Xunze saw the leech's reply, his thoughts were instantly opened.

At the beginning, he was limited by what Wang Mang said about the prosperous age where everyone has food, everyone has clothes, and nobles and commoners are equal to each other, so he tried hard to think about how to make Wang Mang achieve such a prosperous age.

But in ancient times, unless it was a small country, it was impossible for any big country to achieve such an achievement.

Because the productivity is there, even if you try your best to achieve such a miraculous achievement in a certain year.

After more than ten years, because the stable living environment leads to a population explosion, backward productivity and limited land will inevitably lead to conflicts breaking out again.

Don't talk about pioneering or great voyages.

With the technological level and development technology of the Han Dynasty, it would probably take hundreds of years to develop all the fertile land in Jianghuai.

And during the development period, the central government must have strong determination and execution ability!

And if the central government wants to achieve this condition, it must have a government agency with a clear division of labor and a unified mind, convenient communication equipment, and transportation tools and roads that can quickly transport materials and manpower!

Therefore, after confirming that the prosperous age that Wang Mang said could not be completed, Ming Xunze focused on the reasons why Wang Mang wanted to achieve such a society.

Of course, there is a big meow's flickering.But the fundamental reason is that the Western Han Dynasty has come to the end of the year.After defeating the Xiongnu and making the world surrender, the class contradictions of the Han Dynasty without foreign enemies quickly began to emerge.

The fields of the rich are connected with fields, and the poor have no place to stand.The conflict between the rich and the poor has reached an extremely sharp point. Wang Mang, a top wealthy family, saw this and wanted to reform the entire imperial court.

Even, he is very likely to know through the big meow that without his reforms, the Western Han Dynasty would have experienced an extremely cruel internal war in order to clean up the 'excess population' and 'excessive nobles', and then realize the redistribution of wealth !

Then, what Xunze needs to teach Wang Mang is how to let the Western Han Dynasty transition to the Eastern Han Dynasty with the least cost!
How about fighting the local tyrants to divide the land?

Asking Xunze to read the relevant materials in the late Western Han Dynasty, he felt that the main conflict was concentrated in the land. If a small number of land holders could be eliminated and the land distributed, the conflict would be greatly eased. .

Then, during the period of detente, the government led the reform of production methods, the introduction of high-quality grain and vegetable seeds, and the expansion of grain production, which may prevent the occurrence of civil wars.

Jiao Xunze read a historical time travel novel some time ago.

The protagonist of the novel, a young man surnamed Yun, traveled to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and used similar methods to strengthen the national power to avoid the situation that the people in the country were overwhelmed and peasants revolted everywhere due to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's successive campaigns.

The ancient people had very low requirements for life.Basically, as long as there is food and life, they will not rebel.

As long as the people did not rebel, with Wang Mang's strength, even if there were nobles and wealthy families who opposed him, they would be suppressed.

Therefore, the reform route that Xunze designed for Wang Mang is:
Centralize power first, form a strong central government, and then kill a group of aristocratic families who are eating vegetarian meals, releasing a large amount of land to ease domestic conflicts.

Finally, concentrate on promoting production to ensure the land, and the food growth can keep up with the population growth, then at least the peace of the entire country can be guaranteed for nearly a hundred years.

As for whether the policy will change after a hundred years, and whether the nobles will counterattack, that is not something Wang Mang and Ming Xunze need to consider.

Early the next morning, Xunze was asked to prepare breakfast for the three children. Then Zhao Keer complained while eating,

"Recently, I feel that the habit of answering questions too quickly is not good. Last week, there was a history week quiz asking which dynasty Liuxiu numbers were invented in. I saw that the first answer said Han Dynasty, so I chose it, but I didn't expect Han Dynasty There is also a Western character written in parentheses at the back, and the second answer is the correct answer Eastern Han."

"What number?" Ming Xunze was a little confused when he heard Zhao Ke'er's words.

What the hell is Liu Xiu's number?

"Liu Xiu's numbers." Zhao Ke'er looked at Ming Xun Ze with a confused face, wondering why Ming Xun Ze asked such a question suddenly. "That Liu Xiu number of 012345678."

"Oh, I didn't hear clearly just now." Asked Xunze to fool Zhao Keer regardless of 21.

After Zhao Keer left, he turned on his phone and entered Liu Xiu's number to see what it was.

Liuxiu numerals are international universal numerals. They were invented and promoted by Liu Xiu around 20 A.D., and later spread to all parts of the world, becoming international universal numerals.
Wait, shouldn't this thing be called Arabic numerals?Although it was invented by Indians.

It took a long time for Xun Ze to read the introduction of Liu Xiu's numbers, and then he remembered that when he was teaching Liu Xiu's cards, he taught Liu Xiu the Arabic numbers in order to make the cards of Warring States Killing.

So after Liu Xiu went back, he made these cards with Arabic numerals in the Han Dynasty.

The impact of these figures may have been small at first, but as Liu Xiu's power rose, these figures were gradually spread.

When Liu Xiu became emperor and vigorously promoted board game cards, these numbers appeared in human history hundreds of years in advance.

Of course, these numbers have a very clear attribution this time. Unlike the numbers invented by the Indians, which are called Arabic numbers, they were called Chinese numbers at the beginning.

Then when the Han Dynasty fell, the rulers of later generations did not want these numbers to bear the name of the previous dynasty, so they changed the name of Han Numbers to Guangwu Numbers.

And with the opening of the age of great voyages, when European culture began to gradually affect the world, the European name Liuxiu number was passed back to China, and everyone began to gradually call Guangwu number Liuxiu number.

In modern times, the mythical color of imperial power was broken, and people gradually dared to call Liu Xiu's name directly, so Liu Xiu's number replaced Guangwu number and became the official name for this kind of number in China, and it also became the name of the number in the world. For the name of this number.

Well, this is really unintentional.

Jiao Xunze didn't expect Liu Xiu to promote the Arabic numerals while promoting the board game, and also became the inventor of the Arabic numerals himself.

Anyway, this number was not originally invented by the Arabs, so there is no difference between being called Arabic numerals and Liuxiu numbers.

After cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, he asked Xunze to take Liu Xiu and Wang Mang to the classroom.

"Liu Bei, what do you want to learn this week?" Ming Xun Ze looked at Liu Xiu and asked.

"Teacher, do you know how to save your life? I want to learn."

Liu Xiu took the initiative to put forward his request.
