Chapter 161 Wang Mang's New Deal ([-])

Five years later

Yuan five years
Spring:

Since Emperor Liu Shi came to the throne
In the first year, a plague broke out and spread throughout the counties of the East of the East. Millions of people died of the plague. In order to prevent the plague from the counties of the East of the East from spreading to East Liaodong, the prefect of Liaodong, Wang Hongyin, ordered that no one should be allowed to enter or leave Liaodong. Prevent people from other counties from entering Liaodong.

In the second year, a major earthquake occurred, covering more than 20 counties in Kanto, and countless houses collapsed. Tens of thousands of people died in the earthquake, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and became refugees.

Floods occurred in the third year, and the farmlands of millions of homeowners in the Kanto counties were submerged, countless people were displaced, and hundreds of thousands of refugees appeared in the Kanto counties.

In the fourth year, there was a drought, and countless farmlands suffered from water shortages and poor harvests. Hundreds of thousands of people became refugees. There have been tragedies of cannibalism in Nanyang County and Yingchuan County.

In the fifth year, the Mausoleum Relocation System, Yantie Official Barracks, Commercial Tax, Sanfu Officials, and Taixue were abolished. Scholars all over the world praised the current emperor as the reincarnation of a sage.

In the court, the eunuch group headed by Shi Xian was fighting against the scholar group headed by Xiao Wangzhi, and finally eunuch Shi Xian won.

Emperor Liu Shi ordered disaster relief to relieve the victims, but most of the relief funds went into the pockets of local officials and powerful people, and only a very small part was actually given to the victims. Afterwards, the powerful nobles took the emperor's disaster relief funds and bought them. The fertile land in the hands of the victims.

The world's tyrants have endured for 20 years, and finally they can't hold back anymore.

Liaodong
Royal Manor
The owner Wang Hongyin just turned 55 this year, and today is his 55th birthday.

Officials from various counties in eastern Liaodong, as well as children from the four major families, all came to celebrate Wang Hongyin's birthday.

Wang Hongyin has been the governor of Liaodong for 28 years. He has always done his duty and dared not go too far. He even restrained the other three major families from annexing land temporarily during this period, so as not to attract the attention of the emperor Liu Xun. Those tenant farmers who ran out , did not catch them back, and even recorded them in the accounting books to increase the population of Liaodong.

It's not that he really wants to live in peace, it's that Liu Xun is too diligent.

"Zhang Family Zhang Huan came to celebrate his birthday!"

"The Li family, Li Qian, came to celebrate his birthday!"

"The Lu family, Lu Jin, came to celebrate his birthday!"

"Student Chen You wishes the teacher a birthday in Nanshan!"

"student……"

There are also some former students and officials who came to celebrate their birthdays. They were recommended by Wang Hongyin to serve as officials in the imperial court, so Wang Hongyin is their leader and has to bear some responsibility for them.

At this time, Wang Man came to celebrate Wang Hongyin's birthday, and the woman behind him was holding a baby.

Wang Man's great-grandfather was Wang Xin, and according to his seniority, he was Wang Hongyin's nephew.

However, Wang Xin is a surname bestowed by the Wang family, and has no direct blood relationship with the Wang family. It is just that Wang Xin's son married a woman from the Wang family, and his descendants can be regarded as having blood relationship with the Wang family.

"Nephew Wang Man, I wish the Patriarch a long and boundless life!" Wang Man said respectfully.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Hongyin stroked his beard, and then glanced at the baby in the woman's arms.

【Wang Mang

Genetics: Genius

Talent: reincarnation of a sage, master of Confucian classics]

???

Seeing this talent, Wang Hongyin was very surprised, so she asked Wang Man, "Your son?"

Seeing that the Patriarch was interested in his son, Wang Man was overjoyed, and quickly said, "Exactly."

"How old is this year?" Wang Hongyin asked again.

"I just turned one year old today." Wang Man replied.

"Same birthday as old man, interesting, haha!" Wang Hongyin stroked his beard and smiled, feeling that the Wang family had finally produced another talent.

At this time, the maids brought various fruits, especially olives and figs, to feast the guests.

They have never eaten this kind of exotic food, not to mention them, even the emperor has never eaten it.

This can be regarded as an incidental publicity for their special products by the Wang family.

Yingzhou Island is already full of olives and figs. Although the yield per unit area is very low, fortunately, the Wang family has a lot of land overseas. With the large planting area, the total output is not low.

"This wine...is so bitter." A scholar drank a glass of wine, feeling bitter in his mouth, not as sweet as the usual rice wine.

"There is rice wine (turbid wine) and wine. You can drink whatever you want." The new Jiacheng Wang Yujun smiled to the guests. She is 37 years old this year, which is exactly the age of a wolf and a tiger.

"Thank you, Young Master!" All the guests thanked Wang Yujun.

Later, they discovered that Wang Hongyin, the host of the banquet, was teasing a baby boy and asked the baby boy to catch Zhou.

"So handsome!"

"There must be something in the future!"

"This son is extraordinary!"

In order to win the favor of prefect Wang Hongyin, all the guests praised Wang Mang, who had just turned one year old.

There are many objects placed on the table, including wooden boat models, wooden swords, and bamboo slips.

They represent overseas development, military service, and economics respectively.

The guests didn't care which one Xiao Wang Mang would arrest. Their purpose was to please the prefect Wang Hongyin, and hoped that Wang Hongyin would recommend their family members to be officials through the investigation system in the future.

If Wang Mang grabs the wooden boat, they will boast that Wang Mang dares to take risks, has courage, and will definitely do something in the future.

If Wang Mang grabs the wooden sword, they will boast that Wang Mang is passionate, defending the family and the country, and will definitely do something in the future.

If Wang Mang grabs the bamboo slips, they will boast that Wang Mang has mastered the past and the present, studied the classics of sages, and will definitely make a difference in the future.

Even if Wang Mang doesn't catch anything, they can still boast that Wang Mang knows how to advance and retreat, and is not greedy for too much. With such a mind, he will definitely do something in the future.

Little Wang Mang stared at the guests with wide eyes, and then he was about to reach out to grab the wooden sword.

"Traveling the world with a sword, with a sword in your hand, sweeping away the injustices in the world, this little young gentleman, with all the people in the world in his heart, will definitely make a difference in the future!" A guest hurriedly boasted about Xiao Wang Mang, fearing that it would be too late, and he would not be able to do anything. It aroused the attention of the prefect Wang Hongyin.

However, Wang Mang's little hand reaching for the wooden sword stopped, and turned to grab the wooden boat.

"Land transportation costs a lot, while water transportation saves time and effort. Young Shaojun understood this truth at a young age. In order to save the power of the people in the world, water transportation must be developed. There is such a saint who knows how to serve the country and the people since he was a child. Good luck!" Another guest flattered.

However, Xiao Wang Mang also stopped extending his hand towards the wooden boat, and then reached out to the bamboo slips.

"I heard the Tao in the morning, and I will die in the evening! Young Master has understood this truth since he was a child. If he is so interested in the classics of saints, he will definitely become a gentleman comparable to saints in the future!" Another guest praised.

This time, Xiao Wang Mang did not choose again, but picked up the bamboo slips and looked at the densely packed words on the bamboo slips very curiously, although he had not yet started to read and could not understand what was written on them.

"Hahaha!" Wang Hongyin was very happy, and planned to focus on cultivating Wang Mang, so this talent should not be wasted.

The rest of the guests also congratulated the Wang family for having another talented child.

While everyone was laughing, a servant of the Wang family leaned over to Wang Hongyin and reported softly: "Young Master Chaoge is back."

"En." Wang Hongyin nodded.

He specially called Chaoge back from Incheon City for a purpose.

Today, the inner and outer cities of Incheon City have been built, and a tall stone statue of Confucius of benevolence and righteousness has been built in the outer city, so that people in the whole city can look up.

This stone statue of Confucius holds a torch high in his right hand and a book of Analects in his left hand, which is a cultural symbol of Incheon City.

Incheon City's own security has been guaranteed, but there are not enough people in the city, and the population needs to be relocated to Incheon City.

But the remaining population of the Wang family in Liaodong is running out, only more than 3000, so they must find a way to obtain the population.

Although there are many refugees in the Central Plains, there is a high probability that those refugees will have the plague. At present, those refugees from the Central Plains cannot be relocated, so as not to infect the tenant farmers of the Wang family.

Therefore, if you want to get the population, you can only consider the local area of ​​Liaodong, and before considering the local area of ​​Liaodong, you must first eliminate the upright governor of Youzhou.

It was not cleared before because Emperor Liu Xun was too diligent in his administration. Even if it was cleared, the Wang family would not dare to take too much action, so there was no need to clear it.

But now is the era of Emperor Liu Shi, so it is naturally different.

The gangsters fought together, and the governor died suddenly!How pleasing to the ear!
