After the big fool gets married

Wu Xuan thought for a while and said, "Go."

He can't become able to read and write all at once, the transformation needs a process, and going to school is a very good choice.

He can show a strong learning ability in the school, and when his reputation spreads, no one will doubt him no matter how fast he learns and how much he knows.After all, the sudden improvement of the fool is destined to happen that day.

Doudou took out two copper lampstands from the box and placed them on the desk.There is a hollow lampshade on the lamp stand, which looks very delicate.But if it's an oil lamp, it's more troublesome to always remove the cover, but they don't have such worries when they put luminous stones.

"Okay, let's go find Wang Xiucai tomorrow." Doudou paused at this point, considering whether to tell Wu Xuan that Wang Xiucai went to his home to hire him.

"Well, it's all up to you." Wu Xuan replied casually, opened the box of "Xinxiu Shiji" and looked through it. He found volume No.11, with "Lanshi" printed on the cover.

Open the book, "In the first year of Zhenwu, Tai-zu succeeded to the throne, and the name of the country is Lan--" The traditional regular script used for writing is effortless for Wu Xuan, an ancient prose lover who has been practicing brush calligraphy all the year round.

He must finish reading this book today to see which fellow from the same town transformed Dalan Country!

Seeing Wu Xuan's deafness to other things, and only reading history books, Doudou swallowed the words again.Forget it, anyway, Wang Xiucai is not an important person, so I won't disturb Brother Xuan's study by speaking out.

When Wu Xuan read a book, he was easily immersed in it and lost track of time. When he finally finished reading "Lanshi", the lamp in his hand had already begun to emit a faint white light, and when he looked out the window, it was already mostly dark.

Doudou was sitting on a small bench soaking her feet, with a book in her hand reading with gusto.

There is a huge contrast between the magnificence of history and the tranquility and beauty of the present world.Wu Xuan sighed, filled with emotion.

The founding emperor of Dalan Kingdom was indeed a fellow villager, but the experience of this fellow villager...was...too miserable.

According to historical records, Emperor Zhenwu was frail when he was young. Fortunately, he was born in a duke's family. After careful maintenance, he finally got married and had a son and won the first prize in the examination.

As a result, when Dama Youjie was in full swing, he fell off his horse.

When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly became a different person. Instead of loving poetry, he fell in love with martial arts, but he was born weak and could only play boxing techniques he created in the yard.

When the body is a little better, and a large number of servants are recruited to train and fight every day.But he often fainted on the school grounds due to lack of physical strength.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan began to sympathize with this fellow. He should be a very martial-loving person, but he came across such a weak body when he crossed over.

Later, the emperor of the previous dynasty died violently in the harem because of licentiousness and excessive drinking. Only the seven-year-old last emperor of the previous dynasty succeeded to the throne.

Because the previous dynasty implemented the enfeoffment system, the vassal kings of the feudal country had absolute real power in the fiefdom.The vassal kings were dissatisfied with their little nephew's ascendancy, and they proclaimed themselves kings in their fiefdoms one after another.

At that time, the folks were still a family system with distinct classes, nobles, commoners, and slaves, and the boundaries between the three were clear.Commoners and slaves have long been dissatisfied with the oppression of the noble children, and they have risen up one after another.Many slave rebellions occurred in various places, many nobles were killed by their servants, and their wealth was looted.

The world is in chaos, and times create heroes. There is no doubt that this is the era of Emperor Zhenwu.

He immediately united the aristocratic families in the capital who were willing to reform, and took down the power of the imperial guards in the capital, rushed into the palace and took control of the last emperor of the previous dynasty.

The last emperor of the previous dynasty took the Zen position, and Emperor Zhenwu succeeded to the throne, changed the name of the country to "Lan", made the main wife he married when he was young the queen, and the only son of the main wife was the prince.

It took less than a month for Emperor Zhenwu to ascend the throne and become emperor in this vigorous change of dynasty.It is almost written into the history books, and future generations will yell "ridiculous".

But history is often so unexpected.

After Emperor Zhenwu ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the new dynasty, he dragged his sickly body to march in person.It took him three years to completely wipe out the remnants of the previous dynasty and firmly grasp the country in the palm of his hand.

Then, he enacted the New Deal, which began with sweeping reforms.Slavery was abolished and replaced by indentured employment.Renovate official channels and redistribute land.Improve the household registration system, open women's schools, build government-run banks, promulgate agricultural and commercial tax laws... and the same-sex marriage law.

The last one is the most inexplicable, but also the most vigorously implemented new policy, and Emperor Zhenwu himself is directly responsible.

The law stipulates that a same-sex marriage contract is equivalent to a heterosexual marriage contract, and can be naturalized and entered into the family tree after marriage.Due to Emperor Zhenwu's decisive attitude and tough methods, this policy did not involve disputes over class interests, so it was implemented at the fastest speed and fell into practice.

As for the other new policies, after the promulgation of Emperor Zhenwu, they were handed over to different courtiers.Due to the different persons in charge, the breadth and intensity of implementation of various policies also vary greatly.

Especially two years later, Emperor Zhenwu died suddenly on New Year's Eve.The implementation of the New Deal suddenly lost its most powerful backing.

Some courtiers began to oppose the new deal and demanded the restoration of the old system.Some courtiers did not dare to oppose it openly, but the implementation of the New Deal has also slowed down.Of course, there are also courtiers who are completely loyal to Emperor Zhenwu and resolutely follow the instructions left by him.

For example, Mr. Yuan Ge, who was only the left servant of the household department at that time, was in charge of the government-run bank.Mr. Yuan Ge went through two dynasties of Zhenwu and Chongwen. He became an official as a Jinshi.

It took him 20 years to finally implement Emperor Zhenwu's ideas about government-run banks one by one, and they have been used to this day.

As for other New Deals, most of them failed halfway.

For example, the abolition of slavery as a contract can only sustain the Zhenwu dynasty.During the reign of Chongwen, the duration of the employment contract was gradually lengthened, until it reached 60 years.In the Jingyuan Dynasty, there was an outrageous 300-year contract. After the death, the next generation would continue to fulfill the employment contract.It is no different from the generations of slaves in the previous dynasty.

There is also a women's school, which has almost become a training class for women's virtues.

After Emperor Zhenwu left, Emperor Chongwen, who was only 15 years old, succeeded to the throne.

Although Emperor Chongwen did not have his father's wisdom, strategy and thunderous means, he was a qualified ruler with a gentle and honest personality.Coupled with the full support of Yuan Ge and other veteran officials, Emperor Chongwen sat on the throne smoothly.

Since then, the Chongwen Dynasty began.

The reformist faction headed by Mr. Yuan Ge and the conservative faction composed of former aristocratic courtiers also started a tug-of-war for the New Deal for nearly 20 years.

Because Emperor Chongwen himself tended to be a reformist, most of the new policies could still be implemented.Although due to the obstruction of the old school, the implementation effect varies from place to place, but the overall development is still in a positive direction.If he is given another 20 years, the New Deal may really succeed.

However, Emperor Chongwen and his father Emperor Zhenwu have a common shortcoming-congenital frailty.

Just over 30 years old, his body was too weak to go to court, and he managed to support himself for another two years with his will.In the winter of the 18th year of Chongwen, the emperor died.

At this time, the prince was not yet ten years old.

Two consecutive generations of emperors passed away at a young age, and the only prince inherited the physique of his father and grandfather, who was weak and sick since childhood.This is undoubtedly a big blow to a dynasty that has only a history of more than [-] years.

The remnants of the former dynasty showed faint signs of recovery, and some powerful families gradually showed disobedience.

Internal and external troubles coexist, and the situation has become extremely severe.

The ministers of the reformist and conservative factions finally reached a reconciliation for the first time, and chose to unite to support Emperor Jing Yuan's succession.

"Lanshi" ends here.

History is always inseparable from Spring and Autumn brushwork, especially where such brush strokes often hide a very tragic reality.Wu Xuan did not believe that the two forces that had been fighting for nearly 20 years would unconditionally reconcile without any grievances. It must be because one of them paid something.

From a rational point of view, it must be the reformers who make concessions.These people are the direct descendants of Emperor Zhenwu, and they must most want to keep the only blood of Emperor Zhenwu.

And what Wu Xuan saw in the county seat also confirmed this point.Today he visited almost all the shops on the main street of the county seat, but he only saw two New Deal-related banks and libraries. The library was not government-run, but was founded by the local aristocratic Gu family.

This certainly cannot be the case if the reformists are in power.

Wu Xuan found "Lanshi" from the box, opened it, and sure enough——

In the second year of Jingyuan, three elders, Yan Fengdu, joined the cabinet, all of whom were conservatives.

Yuan Gelao, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, "died of illness".

Wu Xuan threw the book on the table and stood up abruptly.

Those who do their best for the country and the people end up miserable, while those who fight for power and profit selfishly can hold great power, sad, lamentable!

"Brother Xuan, what's the matter with you?" Doudou asked with concern.He put down the book in his hand, wiped his feet with a cloth towel and put on his shoes.

Wu Xuan sighed, "The vicissitudes of the world are volatile, and it is beyond human capabilities." After all, there is a limit to what an individual can do. When a person is engulfed in the long river of history, he seems so insignificant.

"Then let's do what we can!" Doudou said.

"Within one's ability?" Wu Xuan repeated.

Doudou nodded, picked up the basin on the ground, and planned to pour water outside.

"Wait a minute!" Wu Xuan shouted.

Doudou looked back puzzled.

Wu Xuan snatched the footbath from Doudou's hand, and said, "It's cold, and it's easy to catch cold when you go out with your trousers on. I'll pour it for you." Pouring the footbath is something he can do.

At this stage, let alone change history, he is not even qualified to participate in history.The ordinary life in front of him is his reality.

"Hey, Brother Xuan, you don't need it." Doudou chased after her.After running for two steps, thinking of Wu Xuan's instruction just now, he bent down and put down his trousers again.Only then did he chase after him again: "Brother Xuan, I left some rice for you, warming it in the pot."
