Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Nine hundred and seventy-four Huayi’s distinction
In any era and doing anything, the basic principles are the same.
If you want to promote the development of something, you must have the first group of people who support you, set an example for more people, and then have a knock-on effect, so that more people can support yourself .
Naturally, what Li Hong wanted to do was the court officials who needed support for the first time, and then the dragon mothers, royal family members, and wealthy families in the imperial palace. In the end, It is the people who have been talked about by the rulers but never remembered it.
In Li Hong’s view, the reform of slavery is absolutely impossible to achieve in one step, and he did not naively hold that hope, even in places headed by Chang'an, Luoyang, etc., it can completely save land resources Giving the restructured slaves does not mean that other remote places can be completely improved like Chang'an and Luoyang when the imperial court is beyond the reach.
So, in his expectation, with the reform of slavery, after the liberation of slavery freedom and household registration at the very least, there will probably be batches of farm laborers in the localities.
The reason for this result is nothing more than the lack of farming tools in the slavery after liberation, and because of the lack of land, it has to rely on local tycoons for a living, and then work long and short-term jobs. .
But even if such a situation arises, it is a meaningful step for Li Hong. At the very least, his original goal is to let everyone have the right to their own lives. This goal will be achieved.
As for the next step, we can only take one step at a time. Over time, the exposure of the problem will gradually improve.
Li Chuyuan's affairs, because of the reconciliation of the mother's queen Wu Mei and the participation of Lao Ji Wang Shu, Li Chuyuan was depressed and had to admit her fate.
What's more, she doesn't care much about the number of slaves and the number of fields. She cares more about the family status and prestige of her county owner. How can she allow Yan Bo to provoke her?
But those are all housework. Li Hong or Wu Mei didn’t need to bother about it. After all, even Uncle Ji, after hearing his daughter’s dissatisfaction, swished and ran away. Yes, the old arms and legs are much cleaner than usual.
Li Lingyue was naturally the first to know about this. After all, she was in charge, so Li Hong's meaning was the first to understand and the most thorough understanding was her, Li Lingyue and Shangguan Wan'er.
The two difficult bones of the royal family and the court officials were clearly supported by the king of Ji, Li Shen, who has a high prestige in the royal family, and there is no longer any resistance.
Above the court, officials from the three provinces and six ministries, after their superiors had unconditionally supported His Majesty’s restructuring, immediately began to actively respond. Therefore, in Li Hong’s view, these two areas are the most likely to be obstructed, but It is smooth beyond imagination.
Even Lian Longma Wu Mei, after seeing that she personally obtained the memorials between the ministers of her Penglai Temple and the royal clan members, she was satisfied with the memorials and sighed: rare, rare, rare.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Lou looked at the Emperor Datang who was talking to the Empress Dowager in awe, and after he had stopped talking several times, he finally spoke. "What? Haven't left yet?" Li Hong asked Wang Lou, who was not too afraid of himself compared to before, sitting opposite Wu Mei.
"Did not leave, now in the Palace of Xuanzheng, a word came out. If they don't see your majesty, they won't leave." Wang Lou carefully considered the words.
"Who are you hiding? You came to me? I still say that you have filial piety, so I spent the whole morning sitting idly in this Penglai Hall with this palace." Wu Mei glanced at Wang Lou , And then said lightly.
"I am a dignified emperor, who do I have to hide from in Datang? If you want to say yes, only you will be the mother and queen." Li Hong waved and let Wang Lou leave. Those old guys love to sit. So let them sit down, the big deal is that tomorrow's meeting will not be held.
Wang Lou wanted to leave, but was held back by Wu Mei's words: "Who is waiting for him in Xuanzheng Hall? Because of what happened, do you know?"
"Return to the Queen Mother, it's..."
"The two old men of Kongyan's family, Kong Yuan and Yan Yude, seem to have a few others about the same age as Yan Yude, some old men of Hongru Daxian, don't know what to do with me." Li Hong He rubbed his uncomfortable temple and said.
"They? That Yan Yude is now in her eighties and nineties?" Wu Mei put down the memorial that Li Hong asked her to read, and said carefully.
"No, you said that such people don't support their lives at home, and run to the court..."
"Is it because of slavery? Or something else?" Wu Mei interrupted Li Hong's complaint and asked.
"I don’t know, but I guess slavery is the same as the other two. Before I came to you, I heard Hua Meng say a few words, I want to argue about the distinction between Chinese and barbarians, what era is this, and I want Replaying the old tune." Li Hong shook his head, so he wouldn't be foolishly arguing with these old antiques about the rule of virtue and benevolent governance.
That gadget has never been popular in the Tang Dynasty. Now that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is stable and vast, after the five surnames and seven hopes dissolve, the geographical form has become a sharp contradiction, so these old antiques , I don’t understand that outside the Central Plains claim to be the orthodox Chinese civilization, so I want to stick to the Central Plains.
This is completely contrary to my own strategy over the years. I have expanded over the years in order to abandon their Confucian distinction between Hua and Yi, and then let more people claim to be the Tang Dynasty civilization, thus letting Tang influence The strength has become greater, and they are not the same, so there is no need to see them.
In the pre-Qin and even the Han dynasty, it did promote the development and dissemination of the Central Plains culture, but in modern Chinese history, it became an obstacle to modernization. Otherwise, the dynasties who closed the country and watched the sky followed People, how can ignorant give birth to an inexplicable sense of superiority.
The distinction between Chinese and barbarians is to distinguish between Chinese and barbarians. The Huaxia ethnic group lives in the Central Plains and is the center of civilization, while the surrounding areas are relatively backward. Therefore, the concept of distinguishing people based on civilized etiquette and justice has gradually emerged.
: "China has the great etiquette, so it is called Xia; there is the beauty of clothing, it is called Hua". People are distinguished by culture and civilization level, not race. Those who fit in with Chinese etiquette and civilization are called Hua, or Xia, Huaxia, and Chinese. Those who disagree are barbarians, or barbarians or aliens.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes dominated the hegemony, and Confucius proposed to respect the king and fight against the barbarians, and to carry forward the culture. For example, the State of Chu claimed to be barbarians, and later civilization progressed and the princes of the Central Plains met with them, so they no longer regarded them as barbarians. However, Zheng Guo was originally a Zhu Xia, and if his behavior was not righteous, he was also regarded as Yi Di.
Wu Mei looked at Li Hong's impatient and unwelcome look, and after careful consideration, she said, "Isn’t this good in the current form of my Datang? Isn’t this good? The responsibility of enlightening the people, It should have been in my Datang, distinguishing Chinese and barbarians, and keeping my Chinese civilization..."
"What's the use of that stuff? The sons and ministers allowed Confucianism to go out these years, so that more people's exotic Fanbang tribes were harmed by Confucianism, so that such ideas were rooted in their thoughts and bloodlines. , Can’t I, the ruler, have been fooled by them?” Li Hong was indignant, and he finally managed to figure out the current situation. Seeing that the harvest season was approaching, these old things rushed out and didn’t know. I wanted to share a piece of the pie, or felt that I had spread their Confucianism, so I ran over to find myself in distress, hoping to take it back and die.
Wu Mei obviously did not know the judgment of Confucian culture by later generations like Li Hong, so in her opinion, now the world is rising, even in Anxi, Andong, Annan and other places, the tribes of the foreign Fanbang are big The people of Tang Dynasty respected Li Hong as the emperor.
So at this time, if China and the barbarians are separated in their own homes, wouldn't they be able to rule and manage better? After all, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can also be regarded as the foundation of the country. Will it be used by others if it spreads so wildly?
"What the children want is integration and identification, and what they want is true unification. Confucianism is not an encouragement to spread culture. You can't build an umbrella for them on a piece of soil~IndoMTL.com~, but should Going out like these years, cultural identity and integration is the foundation of my true rule of the Tang Dynasty." Li Hong sighed helplessly. If even Long Ma couldn’t see through this layer, the whole nation had gone through these years. If you don’t stick to it, I’m afraid it’s really hopeless.
Think about the American emperor in the last life, and then think about the two hundred and five virtues of Confucianism. There are two pros and cons.
The American emperor is willing to share their literature, culture, democracy, law, freedom, equality, rights, etc. in the world, trying to conquer the world with their powerful economy and culture, so he doesn’t care about these so-called Culture is applied by others.
Does this seemingly generous and almost undefended attitude really show that the American emperor is like a saint and a good person?
No, they just instill their culture in us, and they are even willing to impose on others, but they are about absolute safety and high-end things, why don't they share it?
The opposite is Confucianism. They don’t want to send their books and notes to others, and they don’t show it easily as if they are treasures, but they are so-called savvy things like science and technology in their eyes. Coincidentally, it is willing to give away generously.
This kind of prodigal behavior is the real prodigal in Li Hong’s eyes. The reason why Li Hong disintegrated the five surnames and seven hopes, and expelled the Central Plains from the Central Plains, was to imitate the American emperor and let the great Tang's culture was recognized in the surrounding area, which influenced them to consider themselves as their own culture.
The cultural united front is far more lethal than the iron cavalry and the horse, even if the Tang Dynasty is destroyed in the future, presumably those foreign tribes that have accepted the Chinese culture will also agree that their culture is the Chinese culture. This makes Li Hong more willing to pursue it than the concept of country.
