The road was flat and smooth, and the old ox pulling the carriage swung one step at a time, walking smoothly and smoothly with almost no bumps. Putting down the rolling curtain of the carriage seemed to isolate all influences from the outside world.

At this moment, Li Yao paid no attention to what was going on outside the car, and focused entirely on the book in his hand.

The contents of this book are actually from the "Code of Time and Space", "Survival Strategy" and "Experience Memo" written by the predecessors of the time traveler.

Because the silk books are made of silk fabrics, and due to their age, these three volumes of silk books have become fragile. If you are not careful when flipping through them, they will be damaged. So Li Yao found a blank book and copied it.

All of them were transcribed.

"Code of Time and Space", "Survival Strategy", and "Experience Memo" explain in turn what people who have traveled to the past time and space can do, how to do it, and what consequences they may have. It can be said that it is progressive and the division of labor is clear.

, and the profound understandings and lessons gained by the senior time travellers throughout their lives are naturally written down in detail, making people think deeply about them.

Before the main text of the first volume of "The Code of Space and Time", the senior time traveler first narrated his main experiences after time travel.

The predecessor's name was Liu Xin, and after time travel, he became a person named Ai Zhang.

Although Liu Xin did not specify in the article which era he came from, Aizhang, who was born in the late Western Han Dynasty, has left his name in the annals of history.

It turns out that Ai Zhang was a student of Imperial College in the capital. He ranked among the best in almost every "year-old examination". It can be said that he was excellent in both character and academics, and his career as an official was just around the corner.

Before Liu Xin traveled through time, he was a student at the Polytechnic University and knew nothing about the Confucian classics of the Han Dynasty.

So, he used the profession and hobbies he learned in later generations, and with a pair of skillful hands, using crude tools and primitive materials, he made something that looked both novel and useful.

However, Xiao Ming, such as Liu Xin, who boasted that he could greatly improve social productivity, was regarded as a grotesque skill by others and was scorned by others. As a result, Aizhang was criticized by his parents for not doing his job properly.

Liu Xin also tried to concentrate on studying a subset of classics and history, but as a science student with a very poor foundation in ancient Chinese, facing the annual and approaching "yearly examination", it was obviously too late to cram for it.

If you fail the annual examination, you will be eliminated from the Imperial College.

As a time traveler, Liu Xin certainly does not want Aizhang to become an eliminated person.

He wants to do something great and is eager to leave his mark on the history of society.

Therefore, he decided to find another way and take risks.

When Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty was on the throne, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty fell away, and the prime minister Wang Mang controlled the government.

Liu Xin vaguely remembered that in his original time and space, Wang Mang later established a new dynasty, but it was very unpopular and was overthrown by a Han clan clan member named Liu Xiu within a few years.

The reason is very simple. Wang Mang initiated the ancient restructuring and reversed the course of history.

Originally, Liu Xin and Wang Mang's political ideas were completely opposite to each other, but after some investigation and research, he found a way that he believed could combine the advanced systems of later generations with Wang Mang's ancient systems, and speed up the historical development of Chinese civilization.

Road.

However, who was Wang Mang at that time? How could a little-known imperial student like Aizhang be able to get close to him?

Originally, Aizhang was not qualified, but the prophecy theory was prevalent at the time, so he quickly thought of a way.

As a result, Liu Xin, the young imperial student Aizhang, worshiped at Xuanmen in Zhongnan Tower, and in the name of practicing "Yellow and White Alchemy", he refined a medicine called "Medicine Gold" that was actually brass.

product, and used it to make two copper cabinets with combination locks.

Then, Liu Xin inscribed on one of the bronze chambers "The Red Emperor's Seal was passed to the Emperor Jin Ce Shu", and on the other he inscribed "The Heavenly Emperor's Seal and the Golden Chamber Picture". Using his limited historical knowledge, he wrote in the Jin Ce Book

It means that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, entrusted the country of Han Dynasty to Wang Mang, and the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun should respect the destiny and pass the throne to Wang Mang. By the way, it also states that after Wang Mang ascends the throne, he should be awarded the official position of Aizhang.

As a result, the two bronze chambers, whose craftsmanship was far beyond that of that era, completely disrupted Wang Mang's original step-by-step plan to become emperor.

Not long after, it is said that the imperial student who was practicing Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain and obtained the Fu Rui Medal stood out among the many people who presented the Fu Rui. He was personally received by Wang Mang and was given the opportunity to express his political opinions.

Wang Mang and Liu Xin met very late, and they hit it off immediately.

Wang Mang established the dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor ten years earlier than the original history, and announced the implementation of the New Deal. The young Aizhang also rose from an ordinary imperial student to the rank of Grand Duke, ranking among the fourth assistants of the new dynasty.

Seeing this, if you don't understand the history of the New Dynasty at all, you might think that Liu Xin will realize his ideals and ambitions, reach the pinnacle of his life, and then shine in the annals of history.

actually not.

Both Liu Xin and Wang Mang were idealists at heart. Wang Mang tried to imitate the ancient system of the Western Zhou Dynasty and began to implement the New Deal, while Liu Xin tried his best to transform and incorporate the systems of later generations into it.

Wang Mang wanted to restore the well-field system in order to crack down on the powerful, restrain mergers, and Liu Xin proposed to nationalize the land, strictly prohibit private land sales, and change the country's fields to "Wang Tian".

Wang Mang relied on Confucius's Confucian classics and hoped to achieve "the common people's happiness". Liu Xin promoted the humanistic spirit of later generations and suggested changing the status of slaves to "private property" and prohibiting the human trade.

Wang Mang wanted to revitalize the country's economy, so Liu Xin suggested that the salt, iron and wine industries should be state-run.

Wang Mang was influenced by the idea of ​​monetary kingship and determined to control the world's currency in his own hands. Liu Xin proposed to open a state-owned bank and create a "treasure currency system" that combined master and auxiliary currencies, which was the first of its kind for mankind and promoted currency reform.

Wang Mang wanted to improve social productivity, so Liu Xin proposed to formulate specific measures to encourage people to engage in creativity based on the theory that "science and technology are the primary productive forces". He also thought that "for science and technology to develop, measurement must come first" and also suggested new

Towards greater efforts to improve weights and measures.

Wang Mang intended to drive the Xiongnu out of the northern grasslands in order to avoid foreign invasion. Liu Xin suggested that he first implement the "subrogation of the king as a queen" to belittle the status and influence of the surrounding vassals. By the way, Goguryeo, which he hated, was also included in the target of diplomatic attack...

…

Wang Mang and Liu Xin worked together, eager to solve all the world's problems and create eternal peace for their descendants.

Therefore, what happened next was almost the same as the history Li Yao knew.

Under the joint efforts of Wang Mang and Liu Xin, a series of bizarre policies that ignored objective facts, violated the laws of social development, and combined retro systems and former ideas were introduced one after another, causing the economy to collapse, people's livelihood to be in decline, the world to be unstable, and rebels to rise.

, so much so that Liu Xin himself felt that it was far worse than the relevant history he knew in later generations.

History seems to have returned to its original track. Wang Mang's ending is still death, the country is destroyed, and he will laugh for thousands of years. He did not even get a historical evaluation similar to the First Emperor's "contribution lies in the ages, but the trouble lies in the present", and Liu Xin also almost died.

Among the rebellious troops.

Liu Xin, who survived the disaster, only felt that he had had a yellow beam dream, so he lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, no longer interested in world affairs. Finally, he spent the rest of his life summing up his personal gains and losses, finally realized the "mystery of heaven", and then wrote
