Chapter 156 The Yuanjia Reign is Comparable to Wenjing’s Reign

The sky curtain slowly opens like a pair of ink paintings.

There are living beings in the painting.

The people in the streets were talking and laughing, and the children in the distance were riding bamboos to learn how to ride horses and fight.

An old white-haired man leaning against a big tree at the entrance of the village was telling stories about his predecessors to a group of young children sitting in a row.

In towns and cities, the sound of reading can be heard in private schools.

The appearance of all living beings turned into a mass of thick ink in a blink of an eye.

The ink color spreads out to form four large characters.

"Reign of Yuanjia"

……

["The emperor is benevolent, courteous and thrifty, diligent in government, abides by the law without being arrogant, and tolerates things without slacking off". 】

[Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty was kind and loyal, humble and frugal, obeyed the law but was not strict, and was tolerant but not indulgent. 】

[Convincing people with virtue, working hard and being simple, modest and prudent, and governing the country according to the law, he has many of these qualities that a wise king must have. 】

[Since the removal of powerful ministers and the recovery of power, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty began to work hard to govern, work diligently on political affairs, rectify the administration of officials, promote culture, clean up household registration, pay attention to agricultural production, reduce and reduce taxes, so that the people can recuperate and recuperate. 】

[A prosperous situation has been achieved in which "service is easy and work is simple, the masses are prosperous, and when there is enough food to live in the acres, every household does not sleep at night". 】

[So that "for thirty years, the gangsters have rested, and they have offered corvees, and it has stopped at the end of the year. They go out in the morning and return in the evening, just doing their own business."]

["The people are connected, and the officials are unscrupulous. The family is well-provided, and even if things are difficult, turning into ditches can be avoided in due course. Wherever there are hundreds of households in a village, there is a city, and there are people dancing and dancing, and there are groups of people everywhere. The Song Dynasty was at its peak."]

[It was hailed as the "Yuanjia Rule" by later generations. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che was stunned.

No war, no officialdom,
The people live and work in peace and contentment, recuperate and enjoy themselves.

Work at sunrise and return at sunset.

Compared with the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty who have been fighting and killing non-stop.

The people were forced to die in ravines, fleeing for food, and were in a precarious situation.

This kind of stable and calm situation is even more valuable.

"I really want to kill the entire Sima family..."

Liu Che sighed long and long.

Wei Zifu and Huo Qubing on the side were so shocked that they broke into a cold sweat.

Your Majesty is serious.

"It's a pity that the teacher came from nowhere."

Huo Qubing felt a faint gaze, but he could only pretend not to know.

Being a thief and an official at the same time, this trick is really useful.

But it can’t be used frequently!
……

[Large-scale construction of dikes and weirs such as Shaopi, Majenpi and Liumenyan. Ensure water conservancy and irrigation. 】

[Restore the land and encourage farmers to farm mulberry trees. 】

……

Eastern Jin Dynasty and Emperor Ming Dynasty
Sima Shao was confused for a moment, and then suddenly realized!

yes! And Jitian Li!

Since the Eight Kings Rebellion, few Jin emperors have done this.

They are all busy being puppets, allowing others to seize territory, fight civil wars, and defend borders.

It just so happens that now we can encourage all the people in the world to engage in farming and mulberry farming!

……

[“Anyone who wants to be a farmer but is short of food will be given additional loans.”]

["All states and counties are ordered to work diligently to make the most of the land, encourage sowing, sericulture and hemp cultivation, and do their best. They must not just follow the official document."]

[Wait, there are endless policies to benefit farmers. 】

[In 427 AD, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty "established a money agency and minted four baht coins" to eliminate the phenomenon of private minting of counterfeit money. 】

[This is why "monthly salary distribution" was created. 】

[Salaries are paid once a month, which is the earliest monthly salary system in China. 】

[Let me thank Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty here. If it hadn’t been for Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty, it’s not sure whether we would have received our salary once a year today. 】

……

Eastern Jin Dynasty and Emperor An Dynasty
Liu Yu looked at the sky in astonishment.

Is this kid so powerful?

He is good at doing internal affairs!

and many more!

Liu Yu rolled his eyes and said:

"Somebody come!"

A general from outside the palace entered the palace and bowed in salute.

"Go catch up with Wang Hong and tell him to make the champion general his deputy."

……

Liu Song Dynasty: Emperor Wen’s Period
"Hahahaha!"

Liu Yilong laughed loudly.

"It's really interesting! Did I have such a big influence later on?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"……

Ming Dynasty·Chongzhen period
A certain emperor who was extremely short of money looked at the sky with a blank expression.

Good news, the sky is talking about currency reform.

Bad news, it’s so backwards and useless!
Chongzhen sighed and continued to approve the memorial.

"If I were counting on you, all those rebels would be in front of me."

"I'd better be honest and self-reliant."

Then he opened a memorial on the imperial case.

After a while,
Keep your eyes open! Slam the table in anger!
"Traitor! How dare you dig into my Ming Dynasty ancestral grave!"

……

[At the same time, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty also attached great importance to education and created the "Four Museums"]

["Four Hall Studies" had far-reaching significance for the development of ancient school education. Many humanities and natural subjects such as law, medicine, and arithmetic set up in later government schools were influenced by this. 】

[More importantly, the establishment of the Literary Hall changed the fate of literary scholars in later generations, because the literary scholar selection in the imperial examination system was born out of this academy classification. 】

……

Northern Song Dynasty Renzong Period
Zhao Zhen sighed:

"The Jinshi subject is to select literary talents."

"As long as the poems and rhymes are good enough, you can "be happy with the spring breeze and have horse hoofs, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."

"From now on, I can change my destiny by my own ability."

Zhang Mao on the side smiled and said:
"Yes, if it were like before the four halls were divided into subjects, even if they have the talent of poetry, it would be difficult for them to have the opportunity and channels to be used by the imperial court according to their talents."

"You can only submit your name to the powerful officials in the imperial court who love literature. Only after they are appreciated and recommended can you be recruited by the imperial court."

Zhao Zhen also smiled and nodded.

"Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty worked hard to govern, and the people of Sufu were prosperous. Yuan and Jia were idle for decades, which was comparable to the literary scene of the Han Dynasty."

"It's a pity... Since he was rich and powerful, he set out to conquer the Central Plains."

"In the end, he lost his master and frowned at the country, which is called overestimating one's capabilities and being aggressive."

……

[Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty also took the lead in promoting the diversified development of disciplines. 】

[He Shangzhi established metaphysics, He Chengtian established history, Xie Yuan established literature, and Lei Cizong established Confucianism. 】

[For the first time, metaphysics, history, literature and Confucianism were juxtaposed and became specialized disciplines. 】

[The rule of Yuanjia was also a golden age that entered the Renaissance, and culture also flourished, with frequent highlights. 】

[Many well-known celebrities also came from the Yuanjia period. 】

[Xie Lingyun, Yan Yanzhi, Bao Zhao, Fan Ye, Pei Songzhi, Liu Yiqing, Zu Chongzhi...]

[If this continues, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty's "Yuanjia Reign" may really be no less than those famous great reigns in history! 】

[Unfortunately, there is no if in history. 】

[Because at this time, a hero also appeared in the north. 】

[Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao]

……

The play continues on the marquee,

Different from the black "Liu Song" in the south

The northern territory is still a mess.

"Xiliang" that occupied the Western Region and Liangzhou

"Great Xia" that occupied Youzhou and Yongzhou

The "Northern Wei" who occupied Jizhou and Bingzhou

"Northern Yan" who occupied Liaodong and Qingzhou

And "Rouran" occupies the vast grassland in the north

But the next moment, the "Northern Wei Dynasty" suddenly moved!
"Daxia", "Beiyan", "Xiliang"

The entire "Northern Wei Dynasty" was devoured!
"Rouran" also continued to retreat north.

The similarly black "Northern Wei" occupies the north south of the Yellow River!

One south and one north.

Both overlords are eyeing each other.

……

[After the rule of Yuanjia, Liu Song's national power became prosperous, which made Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yilong, want to "conquer the wolf and live in Xu". 】

[So in the autumn and July of 450 AD, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong issued an edict for the second Northern Expedition. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che tightened the smile on his lips and became expressionless again.

really……

The barbarians are also developing.

But after only thirty years of governance, you want to "enclose the wolf and live in Xu"?
You are thinking blindly!

It seems that the first Northern Expedition will definitely end in vain.

Even... came back defeated.

Liu Che had a gloomy face.

There was silence in Jiaofang Hall.

 Not sure if there will be a third update, I feel like it should be about time
