Dayun City

A luxurious carriage passed by, and an old lady with white hair was sitting in the carriage.

Although the old lady has white hair, she looks very energetic. She is wearing a fine attire and is waving to the people on both sides of the road in the city with an amiable smile on her face.

This old lady is Mahan prefect Wang Yan, the seventh generation descendant of the Wang family. She has three daughters, but no son. 25 years old.

Wang Wei has an eight-year-old daughter named Wang Bian. (The ninth generation is next to the wooden characters)
Ma Han prefect Wang Yan is now 55 years old. When she first took office as Ma Han prefect, she was only a 16-year-old girl.

In a blink of an eye, she has been fighting in the Mahan area for 39 years, and this year is the 40th year of her conquest in Mahan.

Although the life of the people in the Central Plains is difficult, the common people under the rule of the royal family are very happy.

They all have land, and the Wang family only increased the rent from [-]% to [-]%, not as unscrupulous as the Central Plains tycoons to [-]% or even [-]%.

And because the Wang family invested a lot of wealth in large-scale construction projects and land reclamation projects in Sanhan, commoners under the Wang family's rule could go to work as temporary laborers after finishing their farm work, and earn some hard money by doing temporary labor.

After all, the Mahan people are not leeks in the field, and they cannot grow quickly. As more and more Mahan people die, the slaves will become less and less enough. Therefore, many projects need to be hired by the Wang family. Han Chinese civilians work.

At the same time, for the common people under the rule of the royal family, their per capita farmland has reached 35 mu, which is higher than that of the people in the Central Plains.

The people in the Central Plains originally allocated 50 mu of land to each of them, which was enough to feed themselves and still have a large surplus. However, with the continuous land mergers for more than 100 years, their per capita land holding has changed from 50 mu to 20 mu. It has been reduced to [-] mu, and now it is very difficult to just support myself.

In addition, the Wang family continued to build various water conservancy facilities, built composting plants, and Mahan slaves did a lot of labor.

For all the above reasons, although the standard of living of the people under the rule of the Wang family is far inferior to that of the self-cultivating farmers in the Central Plains during Emperor Xuan's period, it is far better than that of the current self-cultivating farmers in the Central Plains. Period of the Central Plains farmers.

Because the standard of living was much higher than that of the present Central Plains, none of the tenant farmers under the rule of the royal family escaped famine, and even many self-cultivating farmers in Liaodong area begged to become tenant farmers of the royal family.

But most of them were rejected by the Wang family.

Only self-cultivators in the Pingxiang area are allowed to sell their fields to become tenant farmers of the Wang family, because Pingxiang is too close to the Wang family manor, and the Wang family must be merged to expand their own living space. How can they allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

As for the Xida area, it was completely annexed by the Wang family as early as the end of the Han Dynasty. In the entire Ta Township (the original Dashi County), now only those hills in Beida still belong to the imperial court, and those hills have not reclaimed fields, but there are many The common people planted hemp and kudzu, and sold them to the Wang family to earn a little hard money.

As for those areas that are farther away, they are either in the sphere of influence of the other three major families, and the Wang family cannot affect the interests of the three allies, or they belong to enclaves, and it is difficult to manage them if they are merged.

The reforms of Wang Mang's new dynasty failed so much that the living standards of the self-cultivating farmers were so miserable that they would rather be tenant farmers for the Wang family than continue to be self-cultivating farmers for the court.

Although the other three major families in Liaodong have increased the rent to [-]%, even so, the living standard of the tenant farmers under their rule is still slightly higher than that of the owner farmers of the Wang Mang court, so from time to time, some imperial owner farmers request to become tenant farmers of the three major families .

"People of Dashun City, I wish you happiness and well-being!" Ma Han Taishou Wang Yanchao waved and shouted to all the subjects under the rule of the royal family.

"Prefect Wannian!"

"Long live the Wang family!"

"Willing to give my heart to Mrs. Wang!"

The people sincerely supported Wang Yan, cheered enthusiastically, and even shouted "Wan Nian" presumptuously.

They don't care what kind of person Wang Zhang is, they don't care whether Wang Zhang is a saint or a despicable person, they don't care how many innocent Mahan people Wang has killed, and they don't care whether Wang Zhang's stories are fabricated or true.

They only know one thing.

This thing is.

Under the rule of Mahan prefect Wang Yan, they lived a happy life with enough food and clothing. Some even married wives and had children, and some even saved some spare money to buy Mahan girls as concubines.

Concubine!

In the Central Plains, it was something that only the powerful nobles could have, but in Sanhan, ordinary people like them, as long as they worked hard and saved some money, they would have the opportunity to take concubines!
In the past, when they were in the Central Plains, they were suffering from hunger and cold every day, and they were robbed by refugees from time to time. To the extent that the surplus grain became rented tenants.

What sage Wang Mang?What Central Plains emperor?What is the way of Confucius and Mencius?What Chinese orthodoxy?
These are all bullshit!
They only know that they had a difficult time in the Central Plains, but after being moved to Sanhan by the Wang family, they have become happier and happier.

As for their happiness, the reason for their happiness is actually that the Wang family crazily sucked blood from the Sanhan people and embezzled the imperial treasury, which led to exhausting the people of the world and enriching the people of the Wang family.

But what does it matter to them?They only know that their living standards have been greatly improved under the rule of the royal family compared to when they were in the Central Plains.

At this moment, the king who made up false stories, slaughtered the city, lived a luxurious life, and even had a male pet, without the slightest bit of saintliness, is the real saint in the hearts of the people, a great man who leads them to happiness and well-being. people.

Did the teachings of Confucius and Mencius allow them to live a good life?Did the imperial court let them live a good life?Did educated gentry such as Wang Mang let them live a good life?
nothing!
If they don't, they're all bastards!

Wang Yan made them live a good life, so Wang Yan is the real saint in their hearts!
