One of the eunuchs was guarding the corridor of the main palace. When he saw the emperor walking out, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. The chief eunuch said: "Your Majesty, the sun is shining, is it spreading the canopy?"
"No, I just had a sudden feeling and came out to relax." The emperor simply said, looked around, then raised his face to look at the bright sky, a little confused: "I want to take a few steps, don't take a ride, don't have many people following me
, just a few people.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Several guards followed. At noon, there was no sound, making the palace seem quiet. The emperor had long been accustomed to this. He walked steadily for a long time, and suddenly stopped and said: "
On a whim today, I want to offer incense to our ancestors in the Fengxian Hall, please go and prepare."
After saying that, he walked forward again, and the chief eunuch said hurriedly: "Yes, Your Majesty... Your filial piety can really move the world..."
"I can only do this. Not to mention becoming an ancestor, even compared with the late emperor, I am far behind..." The emperor paced and said to himself with a bitter smile: "The government and the public say that I am a mediocre and blessed emperor who enjoys peace.
Hey, what don’t I understand?”
"I am the emperor and am rich all over the world. I have enjoyed all this wealth. I am afraid that the late emperor will not be as good as me. I just don't know how to reply to the late emperor after he has gone underground." After saying this, he sighed in despair.
The steward and the bodyguards followed closely behind the emperor, listening quietly. No one dared to speak on this topic, but walked away slowly.
Not far away, Ye Qing appeared, and a layer of purple mist suddenly came over him. Joy enveloped his spirit body. He looked at the emperor and smiled.
"The Doctrine of the Mean is a virtue, and when it reaches its end, it will last for a long time for the people."
"Although you are not harmonizing with the destiny and subtlety to make the country moderate, but it is your mediocre talent that makes the country gradually become moderate."
After saying this, Ye Qing smiled again. This was considered his grandson. Although he was an emperor, he still had a certain authority that was not as good as his own - the only Immortal King in the history of thousands of years of evolution in the lower earth.
It has been seventy years since the founding of the new Han Dynasty. It has been twenty years since the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong of the Han Dynasty has been in power for thirty years. Now it is the thirtieth year of the third generation of the new emperor. His lifespan is so long that it is close to the earth.
This is naturally due to the manifestation of Taoism and the extension of life span.
Because the emperor was still alive, he was not entitled to a temple title or a posthumous title, but the new emperor's talent was ordinary, but this made him a stable ruler and did not change his father's ways for three years. This actually encouraged the growth of the emerging Taoist industrial class, and the whole atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was affected by it.
A new one.
Recently, the Han Dynasty has abolished the curfew, and the prosperous urban economy has attracted the rural population. The younger generation of landowners have left their ancestral Wubao and moved to live in towns. Various industrial products and Taoist products have made life more convenient, which is great for young people.
An irresistible temptation.
When one culture defeats another, it is often not suppression, but a contest spanning generations. The old economic system shrinks, a generation of the old culture dies, a new economy becomes mainstream, and a generation grows up under the influence of the new culture. Everything changes.
Change in a subtle way.
The Central Plains followed the fashionable life, and the grasslands, Western Regions, Liaodong and other frontiers even admired the Chinese culture, and it prospered for a while.
It has been the custom since the founding of the Yingwu Dynasty that each generation of new monarchs will conduct a census when they take office. By the time the new monarch takes office, the third national census has been completed. With the contribution of population reproduction, Hanization of foreign races, and the return of exiles, the population has increased sharply to,
Far superior to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In Ye Qing's eyes, the field of vision quickly occupied the entire sky, invisible to people. A broad torrent gathered from various states and arrived in Luoyang.
Its dazzling flow is no longer as bright as blood, but mainly yellow with a hint of bright red. This is the dragon vein - the dragon vein of the Han Dynasty.
"This is a system, and it must be higher than Qi."
"The Qing system here is almost complete."
What this means is that, except for special circumstances, the system is generally more powerful than half a layer of dragon energy. The Huoling steam engine, railway, Taoist communication, etc., have gradually come into play and even become popular after seventy years.
After the abolition of the slave system, after several censuses, more people were actually registered in the imperial household registration, and the Chinese language and customs were more accommodating of the luck of the Five Hus in the past.
Interestingly, due to the assimilation of various tribes of Hu people with "Taoism, economics, and Confucian brainwashing", the new generation of nobles regard themselves as Han people, and their roots can be traced back to the ancient Han and Qiang people. They have strongly protested against the discrimination in the mainland. It is no longer popular in newspapers now.
The Hu people taught the Dharma and renamed it Han vassal, which means vassal in Han Dynasty. Everyone admired Han Dao.
In Ye Qing's view, this is essentially technology...well, it should be said that it is the result of the combination of Taoism, system, and culture.
"However, I'm afraid it's close to the limit."
Ye Qing's bottomless black eyes stared at the palace quietly. The palace is the center. According to the law of dragon energy, if the general flow of dragon energy is yellow energy, the center is one level higher. Now the palace is covered with light green.
The atmosphere is full of coldness and pressure.
In the year when Ye Qing ascended the throne, the Dragon Qi of the Han Dynasty was overall light yellow and red. In 40 years, the Dragon Qi gradually became red and yellow. This actually reached Da Cai's current level. Now in 70 years, it is close to complete yellow.
"With the light blue system, the limit of dragon energy is gold, which is probably the highest limit in this world."
"However, this is more than enough."
The torrent of heaven is only blue, how can humanity exceed the limit?
Regardless of Immortal Dao's intention to suppress this factor, the technology alone has indeed reached the upper limit - if it goes any higher, it will become a locust flow, exceeding the upper limit allowed by the world.
"In the real world, Earth may be able to develop other planets by then. Where can we colonize this world?"
"However, when we reach this point, the core of the entire Qingde has been formed. From now on, as expected, the world will be dominated by the three virtues of green, yellow and red."
"What will Lord Sandao think of this?"
"That might upset the balance a little bit."
Under the noon sun, Ye Qing, shrouded in lavender aura, was deep in thought. He walked through the peach garden and swam familiarly through the Han Palace. Due to the blessing of the dragon aura of the founding emperor, no one could see him except the emperor in the palace just now.
Standing up in shock, he went to offer incense and worship on a whim...
The peach grove under the wall was bright and charming, its branches swaying in the wind, and a strong fragrance passed through. Ye Qing looked outside the city and suddenly laughed: "Are you arguing? It's really interesting.

At this time, praises came out: "A wise king like your Majesty must live a long life."
A mediocre king is what scholars say, but the common people don't care about it. These words obviously did not consider the prince's feelings, but they were sincere and in line with the mood of seeking stability in the peaceful and prosperous times. The nearby drinkers nodded: "It should be so, it should be so. It's a pity that he became the ancestor.
The emperor has become an immortal. He wants to conquer the world and cannot stay for long."
"He must still be protecting us," someone said with a smile. Seventy years later, there are still many families enshrining Emperor Yingwu's tablets, especially those families who were saved in troubled times.
"Speaking of which, His Majesty doesn't seem to be too keen on foreign conquests today. The biggest change that has occurred in the thirty years since he took the throne is the abolition of the slave system..."
In fact, at this time, a series of national policy changes such as the abolition of servitude, the establishment of household registration linkage between urban and rural areas, the popularization of compulsory education in the mainland, forcing foreigners to wear Hanfu to learn Chinese, and encouraging overseas colonization in border areas were all complementary measures.
But the most conspicuous thing in the eyes of the people is the abolition of slaves. In the past, runaways were attached to their masters' families. After selling themselves as slaves, they could not participate in industrial production. The emerging workshop owners could not bear it for a long time. They were naturally happy to see the new law promulgated, and even they were the ones who
Behind the scenes, everyone who spoke about this matter lobbied the Queen Mother.
However, with the newly developed plantations in the south taking the lead, the interests of a large number of land-farming tycoons and powerful families were harmed. When the new law was released to test public opinion, a public opinion began to emerge between the government and the public: "If Wang Mang's new law is followed today, the reform will definitely fail.
"
"These traitors know how to seduce Your Majesty." A young man dressed in simple clothes said bitterly: "I have a sister who was bought by a wealthy family in the county when she was a child. She was beaten and scolded as she pleased. If she hadn't been
I was admitted to Imperial College, but I can’t even redeem my redemption.”
"Is this a talented person from the Imperial College? I'm sorry, I'm disrespectful..."
The drinkers around were surprised and admired them. Their generation had gone through three years of compulsory education, which had popularized writing and mathematics, and prepared them for workshops, ships, soldiers, etc.
But most of them have not received six years of vocational training, let alone the Imperial Academy, which trains elites - they are passed through the imperial examinations at all levels in each state.
Nowadays, the state governor has no real power. In addition to the tasks of the supervision and inspection team, he only oversees the annual examination centers.
But Taixue is very large, with tens of thousands of students. There were many people in the restaurant during the holiday today. Soon another young man slapped the table and praised: "Well said."
"However, there must be resistance to reform, not just one or two traitors, but a group of interest groups... Huh, if you dare to criticize Wang Mang's new law, you should be punished."
This refers to the short-term rule between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty when Wang Mang usurped the name of the Han Dynasty and carried out social reforms under the pretense of restoring the weekly system.
The system of small farmers since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been destroyed by land annexation. Wang Mang simply re-divided the land and restored the official well-field system, established an official loan system to break up the powerful loan sharks, officially controlled prices, and liberated slaves and slaves... It was said to be an improvement, but it did not have enough power.
Implement.
Slavery has been abolished since the Western Zhou Dynasty, but in fact, China has implemented a two-system integration throughout its history. On the one hand, the main body of agriculture is the owner-cultivator, who has political rights and legal protection. On the other hand, the service industry is a slave, and the body is limited to the aristocracy.
Internally, even if you are beaten to death, it is a low life. This is a historical problem that is difficult to solve in the tradition of agricultural empires.
However, after sixty years of cultivation by the two late emperors, the world's new Taoist industry has grown and expanded. The new emperor felt that there was little room for external territorial expansion to consolidate his power, so he shifted his focus to domestic affairs.
Wherever there are old groups, there are relatively new groups - the emerging bourgeoisie based on Huoling workshop owners, mining owners, and railway owners, consciously began to suppress this "reactionary" and "inhumane" conservative trend of thought.
This sparked debates in newspapers across the country. The emperor himself and the cabinet ministers did not come forward. Imperial students who considered themselves disciples of the emperor jumped out to refute Wang Mang's theory of ulterior motives.
"It feels a bit like the American Civil War, but this is not the United States after all. The rule of the Han Empire was far beyond the control of the United States at that time. This war could not be fought more than ten years ago, and it is even less likely to be fought now." Ye Qing just looked at it.
With just one scan, you can get a lot of information, which makes you think deeply.
