Spring of the fourth year of Yangshuo, the first lunar month.

According to the practice of previous years, the first month of the year is also the beginning of the year.

The emperor is going to release the Central Document No. 1 within this month.

In order to celebrate the issuance of Document No. 1, the emperor also held a solemn meeting to celebrate with the three ministers, nine ministers, princes, clansmen, and nobles in Chang'an City.

Since we want to have fun together, a large reward must be an indispensable part of this grand gathering.

Liu Ao was sitting in the main hall of the front hall of Weiyang Palace. All the officials, led by Grand Sima Wang Yin, were all in order, dressed in grand court clothes, and happily paid homage to Liu Ao in the main hall of the front hall to congratulate him.< /p>

Liu Ao looked down at the officials and sat on the royal couch, showing the majesty of the emperor. His voice was like the sound of a jade chime, "At the beginning of the new year, I am enjoying myself with all the officials. Today I convene the dynasty, and I will reward all officials as usual." I wish you and your family a happy new year, and work together with me to respect heaven and love the people, and to jointly support the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty."

Wang Yin and others bowed again and said: "I will obey your Majesty's will."

Wang Mang is also in the main hall at this moment, but because of his inconspicuous status, Wang Mang's position in the hall seems very inconspicuous.

But Wang Mang doesn't care about this. Standing far away now does not mean that he will stand far away in the future.

Therefore, Wang Mang's mood at this moment is naturally not as heartbreaking as what he sang in "Exaggerated".

He just stood quietly in the corner and followed the crowd to praise Liu Ao.

Because of the compilation of the Grand Ceremony, Liu Xin and Yang Xiong were promoted to chief editors with a rank of two thousand stones, so they were fortunate to stand in the hall this time.

Liu Xin and Yang Xiong were much more excited than Wang Mang. This was the first time that the two of them stood seriously in the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

This feeling is very different from the feeling they usually had when they were transferred to the palace when they were Huangmenlang.

Although Huang Menlang is also qualified to enter the palace, not every Huang Menlang is qualified. Moreover, even if he is lucky enough to be arranged to enter the palace, the work he will do after entering the palace is actually similar to that of a waiter, and he will not be taken seriously by others. .

However, things are different now. Now there is a sequence for entering the palace. This is definitely a qualitative leap for Liu Xin and Yang Xiong.

After a lengthy ceremony, the New Year's Eve party has finally entered the reward time that everyone loves to see.

During the Han Dynasty, the rewards given by the emperors can be described as exaggerated compared to later generations.

According to the "Han Guan Yi" records, every spring gift, wax gift, ranking general or three male, will be rewarded with 200,000 yuan, 200 kilograms of beef, and 200 dendrobium of japonica rice;

Special advance: 150,000 for marquis; 100,000 for ministers, 50,000 for captains; 30,000 for ministers; 20,000 for ministers, generals, and officials; 7,000 for each of thousand and six hundred stones; 3,000 for Hu Ben Lang and Yu Lin Lang.

As a school captain, Wang Mang was naturally indispensable for a huge reward of 50,000 yuan. Faced with such a huge reward, Wang Mang naturally burst into laughter.

Of course, this kind of huge wealth was not worth mentioning in the upper class society of the Han Dynasty.

As far as the situation of Ban Kuang, the father of Ban Shu, is concerned, the Ban Kuang family is definitely not worth mentioning compared to most Chang'an aristocratic families.

But such a small family that was "not worth mentioning" had already accumulated tens of millions of assets in Ban Kuang's generation. Therefore, when Liu Ao dismissed Yanling and built Changling, the Ban family was moved

Changling, later because Changling could not be built, it was returned to Chang'an.

It can be seen that although the emperor's rewards during the Han Dynasty were generous, they were still dwarfed and not worth mentioning compared with other ways of making money for these aristocratic families.

Therefore, Wang Mang was happy, but he really didn't take the 50,000 yuan seriously.

If Wang Mang really valued the 50,000 yuan so much, how could he use his money-spending ability to make friends?

The reward session came to an end under the praise of all the officials.

Now that all officials of the government and the public have been rewarded, as the top priority of this court meeting, the No. 1 document of the Han New Year has naturally begun to be put on the agenda.

The No. 1 Document of the Han Dynasty is very similar to the No. 1 Document of later generations. They are both commonplace issues of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers".

And the reason why this issue is discussed endlessly and clichéd again and again. The essential reason is that whether it was the Han Dynasty or the subsequent dynasty governments of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, they all had a traditional agriculture with a huge agricultural foundation.

country.

Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of the regime and ensure the agricultural income of the grassroots people, Liu Ao, as the chairman of the Han Dynasty, must personally issue this year's No. 1 central document to show his attention.

The edict said: "The eight political affairs of "Hong Fan" are headed by food, and the Sicheng family gave the root of the punishment. The former emperor Shao Nong, despised his tax, favored his strength, and ordered him to study in the same discipline as his filial brother. In the meantime, the people became lazy.

There are few people who are native to the countryside, and there are many people who are on the decline. How can we correct it? When Fang Dong was doing this, he ordered two thousand stones to encourage farmers and mulberry trees to go in and out of the streets, so that they could work hard. Doesn't the "Book" say this? "Submit the power of the field."

Being stingy means there is also autumn. 'It's such a shame!"

This first edict of the New Year quotes scriptures. It first uses "Shang Shu·Hong Fan" to explain the importance of food, and then extends to the late emperor's emphasis on agricultural production.

Then he criticized the social atmosphere in recent years from a physiocratic perspective, saying that farmers are becoming more and more lazy, with fewer people focusing on farming and more engaged in business. How can this situation be corrected?

Finally, a solution was given, requiring officials with two thousand stones to go deep into the fields during spring plowing, exhorting farmers and mulberry trees, and encouraging people to cultivate the land well. At the same time, it summarized the saying in "Shang Shu" that "whatever you put in, you will gain".

The truth. I would like to advise everyone to work hard like this!

After listening to this edict, all the officials bowed and said: "I will obey the holy order."

At this point, this grand court meeting is over.

After the court meeting ended, Wang Mang naturally had nothing to do.

As a result, Wang Mang went to Yulin Camp to distribute New Year benefits to his subordinates.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Wang Mang's way of distributing welfare was very direct. Wang Mang directly took the 50,000 yuan reward he just received to Yulin Camp.

Then he ordered Ma Zhong to summon all the four captains of Yulin, Tunqi, Huben, and Yueqi to gather at the school field in Yulin camp.

After hearing Wang Mang's military order, the soldiers of the fourth battalion did not dare to delay for a moment. They immediately prepared and set off, gathering as quickly as possible at the school field in Yulin Camp.

Wang Mang stood on the high platform in the school grounds, looking at the four battalions of Yulin, Tunqi, Huben, and Yueqi with 2,800 people, feeling very proud in his heart.

These two thousand and eight hundred people are already Wang Mang’s hardcore team.

Wang Mang stood on the stage, and the soldiers of the four battalions stood below the stage. They all looked at Wang Mang with burning eyes.

Ever since Wang Mang led Yan You, Wen Qi and others to annihilate the Shentu Sheng Rebellion in Yingchuan, Wang Mang's reputation among the four camps has risen to a higher level.

At this moment, Wang Mang has evolved from an iron-faced general to a victorious general.

After the soldiers of the four battalions were assembled, they, led by the Sima of their respective battalions, saluted Wang Mang with extremely loud voices.

"Meet the general!"

When these four words were shouted out from 2,800 people, they immediately became so angry that they surged into the sky.

Wang Mang stood majestically on the high platform and shouted back: "The Han army is mighty!"

Wang Mang's response also excited the soldiers of the fourth battalion.

After completing this question-and-answer military salute, Wang Mang began to say: "At the beginning of the new year, I came to the camp to celebrate the New Year with all the soldiers. I know that many of the soldiers in the fourth camp are far away from home.

Enlisted in the army in Chang'an."

"Since I am your captain, I should prepare New Year's gifts for you, so as to ease the pain of missing your parents' homeland away from your parents."

"Today I will bring 50,000 coins, a hundred sheep, and a thousand jugs of wine into the camp to have fun with all the soldiers. Except for the soldiers who have the responsibility of guarding the camp, I will not return unless I am drunk today!"

After hearing Wang Mang's words, the soldiers of the fourth battalion were ecstatic and screamed excitedly. The shouts of the general's power shook the sky.

Wang Mang was in an extremely good mood when he saw the excited soldiers of the fourth battalion.

After all, in order to reward the soldiers of the four battalions, Wang Mang also spent a lot of money. Not only did he contribute the 50,000 yuan he just received, but he also gave them a hundred sheep and a thousand jugs of wine.

Such a generous gesture can naturally win the support of the soldiers of the fourth battalion like a mountain.

While everyone was happy, Wang Mang said directly: "Come here, kill the sheep and warm the wine. After you have eaten and drank enough, I will personally reward you!"

After hearing Wang Mang's order, the leading soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately went outside the camp and drove in the hundreds of sheep that Wang Mang had prepared. Then they entered with several carts of wine.

The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion standing on the school field were even more shocked when they saw this scene. This was the first time they had encountered such a generous boss in so many years of service.

Wang Mang looked at the soldiers of the four battalions and naturally couldn't let them just wait and relax.

So, Wang Mang stood on the high platform again and said: "Today, I will set up another lucky draw."

After saying that, Wang Mang took out the sword from his waist, threw it in the air, and with a clang, the tip of the sword stabbed steadily into the wooden board on the high platform, making a buzzing sound.

Wang Mang added: "I heard that there are people in the four camps who are good at sibling drama. Today I will reward you with this sword. I will summon the good actors from the four camps to fight. The winner will get this sword!"

The sibling play that Wang Mang mentioned is the Cuju play that is often referred to in later generations.

Cuju play has a long history. It is said that it started when the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou. Later, after the continuous evolution of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the play was gradually absorbed into the military camps and became one of the daily training subjects for the Han army soldiers.

1.

There is also such a description in Liu Xiang's "Bielu": "Taju means military strength, so when practicing warriors, they know they have talents, and they are all taught and practiced because of play."

It can be seen that almost all soldiers in the Han Dynasty could play football.

Although the rules at this time were very different from those of later generations, after all, this movement was a positive and intense confrontational movement. It was still very useful in uniting the military's morale, exercising their will, and improving the cooperation ability of the soldiers.

Therefore, Wang Mang wanted to take this opportunity to see how football was played in the Han Dynasty.

After hearing Wang Mang's words, the soldiers of the fourth battalion shouted excitedly again. They were all extremely confident about the sibling drama.

Therefore, when Wang Mang said that he would summon four battalions of good actors to fight, everyone became excited.

They were all gearing up to express themselves in front of Wang Mang.

Unfortunately, asking everyone to perform is obviously a bit unrealistic.
