This Han Dynasty was a very obvious family rule, because the Han Dynasty allowed the privatization of that land, so at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there were very serious annexations on the land of this world.
Under such an annexation situation, there are a lot of refugees and people, and there is no land to grow.
Therefore, in order for these refugees to survive, all they can do is to sell themselves to the nobles as tenant farmers. Only in this case can they guarantee that they will not starve to death.
Even under such circumstances, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the loss of household registration in the whole country directly exceeded half.
As for why there was such a loss at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was such a decrease in population?
It should be said that the Western Han Dynasty did not have any large-scale epidemics or wars, and it belonged to a relatively stable era.
However, in such an era, the number of people has dropped by half. This situation is nothing more than that in order to maximize their own interests, those aristocrats directly concealed a lot of land and population. .
In doing so, they hurt the interests of the entire country. Under such circumstances, the treasury is empty and cannot afford any action at all.
Under such circumstances, Wang Mang stepped onto the stage.
Wang Mang also knew very well in his heart that the current problem was right here, on the body of this clan, so he wanted to measure the land.
In the process of this reform, there are two very important situations.
The first article, Wang Mang stipulated that all the land in the world belongs to the state, belongs to the king, and the land owned by individuals cannot exceed [-] mu, and those lands that exceed [-] mu must be handed over to the state!
The second article, Wang Mang directly ordered the abolition of serfdom, and did not allow those nobles to have a large number of tenant farmers. Under such circumstances, they would not control too much labor and productivity.
After all, this mastery of too much labor force and productivity can directly endanger the national interest.
Under such circumstances, Wang Mang also understands where the problems in the country are now, and this situation is also a very correct reform.
However, Wang Mang's reform method is a bit too simple and rude.
First of all, although Wang Mang understood what the problem was, he really overestimated his own strength.
Compared with those gentry families, Wang Mang's strength is impossible to shake their interests. In the end, the forced reform will suffer, and only Wang Mang will be hurt. This is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg!
This Wang Mang directly touched the core interests of those noble families. Under such circumstances, Wang Mang, who touched the interests of their nobles, would naturally suffer backlash.
Also, when Wang Mang carried out reforms, he didn't consider the actual situation at all.
Wang Mang wholeheartedly wanted to abolish the serfdom. Such a situation seemed to be a good choice for Wang Mang, but such a situation was bad news for those serfs.
In itself, these serfs are a group of people who can't eat enough, which is equivalent to finding a job. Whether it's good or bad, they can't starve to death anyway.
Under such circumstances, if someone wants to ban you from your job, isn't that equivalent to smashing the jobs of those serfs?
The serfs who obtained food by selling their labor power and the conditions to support their families were naturally very opposed to this flying out of serfdom, and they would not be grateful to Wang Mang at all.
For such a situation, Wang Mang didn't think about it at all, and he didn't proceed from reality.
He tried to change the very serious problem of land privatization, but his approach directly offended the powerful and elites across the country.
Wang Mang also wanted to abolish the serfdom. Under such circumstances, he once again offended many farmers who relied on selling labor for a living and directly became refugees. This situation naturally caused social turmoil.
Under such circumstances, those aristocrats and poor people were very angry and resisted Wang Mang's actions.
Then there was a backlash from all classes.
Under such circumstances, if Wang Mang had strength, then he would not be in vain, but he himself did not have any tyrannical confidence at all, let alone any tyrannical strength,
In Wang Mang's hands, they don't even have strong military power. Under such circumstances, how could they succeed?
Such a huge reform, in such a stable day, it is impossible for the reform to be successful, because people are content with the status quo and do not want to change.
If you want such a situation to succeed, what you need is to launch a very thorough revolution from the bottom up, and it will be possible to succeed!
Under such circumstances, it is very normal for Wang Mang to lose his reputation and fall from the altar.
Even, the reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty had the same problem, and the reason why it was very weak, was because Liu Xiu didn't solve the fundamental problems existing in this society at all.
The fundamental problem of this society was not solved by Liu Xiu, and then the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties all left very serious family politics, and their influence on the dynasty was also very far-reaching.
In the long river of history, even under the current situation, Cao Cao is the only one who wants to break this situation, this status quo.
Chapter 646 Ascaris in the Stomach
The reason why Cao Cao implemented those eclectic standards for degrading talents is actually to challenge those elites. Although such strength is not enough, it can be seen that Cao Cao has worked hard in such aspects .
However, Cao Cao has no choice.
Most of the talented people in the world come from aristocratic families.
Because those who are among the powerful can receive education and have the time and energy to receive a good education.
Under such circumstances, it is very normal for talents to appear among those elites.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Cao Cao's shaking of these aristocratic systems is not very serious.
Wei Wendi Cao Pi's prestige and the courage to do things are simply not eye-catching compared with that of Cao Cao, so when he is in power, he can only launch the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System.
This kind of situation is a kind of compromise for the elites of the gentry, and the ranks of the talents are determined by the high and low of their births.
Was Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty really a henpecked person?
Actually not.
This Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was a very powerful emperor, so he was not afraid of his wife.
The reason why Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was afraid of his wife was because those powerful groups stood behind her wife.
Under such circumstances, how could Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty dare to offend the queen?
In the Tang Dynasty, because the printing technique was very mature, coupled with the promulgation of the imperial examination system, the demand for culture was very easy, but under such circumstances, there was still no way to get rid of the kidnapping of the powerful group.
After the promulgation of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty, those elected officials actually accounted for only 20.00% of the officials in the DPRK and China.
Under such circumstances, most of the imperial court were the children of some noble families.
Under such circumstances, the Tang Dynasty did not escape such a law in the end.
However, what happened in other dynasties will not happen to Cao Ang.
No matter it is the Han Dynasty, Wei Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty or Tang Dynasty, the most important reason why these dynasties have not been able to get rid of the control of the official career by the gentry family is that the power of the family is too strong up.
Under such circumstances, those in power have no way to compete with those gentry families, so it is impossible to succeed if they want to reform under such circumstances.
The current Great Wei Empire is still in a period of implementation, and the education in the Great Wei has not kept up, so under such circumstances, it is impossible to get rid of the dependence on the noble family.
Moreover, although the resistance of these gentry families is very high, not all of these gentry families are bad people, and there are still quite a few good people.
