Leeches are awesome.
After Ming Xunze saw Leech's reply, his whole mind was opened up instantly.
At first, his thinking was limited by what Wang Mang said about a prosperous age where everyone had food to eat, everyone had clothes to wear, and nobles and commoners were equal to each other, so he tried hard to think about how to help 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, you can achieve such a miraculous achievement in a certain year.
In more than ten years, the stable living environment will lead to a population explosion, backward productivity and limited land, which will inevitably lead to conflicts erupting again.
Let alone 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 the Jianghuai River.
Moreover, during the development period, the central government must have strong determination and execution capabilities.
If the central government wants to achieve this condition, it must have government agencies with clear division of labor and unified thinking, convenient communication equipment, and transportation and roads that can quickly transport materials and manpower.
Therefore, after confirming that the prosperous age mentioned by Wang Mang could not be achieved, Ming Xunze focused on the reasons why Wang Mang wanted to achieve such a society.
Of course there is Da Meow's deception in this.
But the fundamental reason is that the Western Han Dynasty has reached its end.
After defeating the Xiongnu and making the world surrender, the class contradictions of the Han Dynasty quickly began to emerge without foreign enemies.
The rich have endless fields, but the poor have no place to stand.
The contradiction between the rich and the poor has reached an extremely acute point.
As a member of a top wealthy family, Wang Mang saw this and wanted to reform the entire court.
It is even possible that he knew through Da Miao that without his reforms, the Western Han Dynasty would have gone through an extremely cruel internal war in order to clear out the excess population and excessive nobles, and then realize the redistribution of wealth.
So, what Xunze needs to teach Wang Mang is how to transition the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty at the least cost.
How about dividing the land among local tycoons?
Ming Xunze read relevant information about the late Western Han Dynasty and felt that the main contradiction was still concentrated on land.
If a small number of land holders could be eliminated and the land distributed, then the contradiction could be greatly alleviated. .
Then during the détente period, the government will lead the reform of production methods, introduce high-quality grain and vegetable seeds, and expand grain production, which may prevent the occurrence of civil war.
My name is Xunze, who read a historical time-travel novel some time ago.
The protagonist of the novel, a young man surnamed Yun, used similar methods to strengthen the country's power when he traveled to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to avoid the situation where the people in the country were overwhelmed and peasants revolted due to Emperor Wu's consecutive wars.
People in ancient times had very low requirements for life.
Basically, as long as there is food and life, there will be no rebellion.
As long as the people do not rebel, then with Wang Mang's strength, even if there are nobles and wealthy families who oppose him, they will be suppressed.
Therefore, the reform route designed by Xunze for Wang Mang is: First centralize power and form a strong central government, and then kill a group of aristocrats and wealthy families who have just left their jobs, releasing a large amount of land to ease domestic conflicts.
Finally, concentrate on promoting production to ensure land, and the growth of food can keep up with the growth of population.
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, "I recently feel that I have a bad habit of answering questions too fast.
Last week, there was a history week test that asked which dynasty Liu Xiu's numbers were invented.
I saw that the first answer said Han Dynasty, so I chose it, but I didn't expect Han Dynasty There is also the word "东" written in parentheses at the end, and the second answer is the correct answer: "Western Han Dynasty."
"What number?"
Xunze was a little confused when he heard Zhao Keer's words.
What the hell is Liu Xiu’s number?
"Liu Xiu's number."
Zhao Ke'er looked at Xunze with a confused face, wondering why Xunze suddenly asked this.
"That Liu Xiu number of 012345678."
"Oh, I didn't hear clearly just now."
He asked Xunze to fool Zhao Keer first.
After Zhao Keer left, he turned on his phone and entered Liu Xiu's number to see what it was.

Liu Xiu numerals are now internationally accepted numerals.
They were invented and popularized by Liu Xiu around 20 AD, and were later spread around the world and became internationally accepted numerals.
Wait, shouldn't this thing be called Arabic numerals?
Although it was invented by Indians.
Xunze read the introduction to Liu Xiu's numbers for a long time and then remembered that when he was teaching Liu Xiu cards, he also taught Liu Xiu the Arabic numerals in order to make playing cards for the Warring States Period.
So after Liu Xiu returned, he made these cards with Arabic numerals in the Han Dynasty.
The impact of these numbers may have been small at first, but as Liu Xiu's power grew, these numbers gradually became more widespread.
When Liu Xiu became emperor and vigorously promoted board game cards, these numbers appeared in human history hundreds of years in advance.
Of course, this time these numbers have a very clear attribution.
It is not like the numbers invented by Indians are called Arabic numerals, but they were called Chinese numerals from the beginning.
Then when the Han Dynasty fell, later rulers did not want these numbers to bear the names of the previous dynasty, so they changed the Han numbers to Guangwu numbers.
As the Age of Discovery began and European culture began to gradually influence the world, the European name Liu Xiu Numbers spread back to China, and people gradually began to call Guangwu Numbers Liu Xiu Numbers.
In modern times, the myth of imperial power was broken, and people gradually dared to call Liu Xiu by his name.
Therefore, Liu Xiu's number replaced Guangwu's number and officially became the name for this kind of number in China.
It also became the name of the number all over the world.
What to call this number.
Okay, this was really unintentional.
Ming Xunze did not expect that Liu Xiu would also promote Arabic numerals while promoting board games, and he would also become the inventor of Arabic numerals.
Anyway, this number was not originally invented by the Arabs, so there is no difference between calling it Arabic numerals and Liu Xiu numerals.
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?"
Jing Xunze looked at Liu Xiu and asked.
"Teacher, do you know any life-saving skills?
I want to learn them."
Liu Xiu made his request very proactively
