() However, the wheel of history cannot be stopped in this way (Tan Shou). During the Anshi Rebellion, many chambers of commerce that secretly obeyed Shangyang imposed an embargo on goods against the Anshi rebels according to Shangyang's instructions. Defeat, among them also a part of the credit is the many chambers of commerce.

Afterwards, Xuanzong rewarded these many chambers of commerce, and the many chambers of commerce that had contributed to the country and the dynasty were no longer something bureaucrats could suppress at will, but could only be restricted. However, the huge profits brought by commerce and manufacturing and the cheap Commodities are slowly and profoundly changing the ancient Middle-earth Kyushu from bottom to top.

The expansion of the Tang Empire in Gaotianyuan brought new business routes and markets to commerce. Huge commercial tax revenues began to increase year by year, and commerce was increasingly valued by the ruling class. Although the landlords still had a huge political advantage, almost Millennia-old traditional structures are not so easily changed.

However, compared with the meager income from agriculture, the huge interests of commerce have led more and more scholar-official landlords to start manufacturing industries on their own land. Shangyang also instructed the chamber of commerce to transfer some technology to the scholar-official landlords, so as to taste the sweetness. The literati and landlords were also inevitably transformed from landlords to big businessmen.

Compared with human beings, Shangyang has a huge advantage, that is, he doesn't need to care about time at all. Shangyang used these simple social laws to cultivate the bourgeoisie of the Central Plains in 150 years, and then slowly push them, start changing the world.

Over the past 150 years, the merchants in China have grown and grown into an indispensable driving force for this country. On this world line, the great feat of forcing the Arab Empire to withdraw from Central Asia during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty was facilitated by the capital class of the Central Plains.

The influence of the Arab Empire in Central Asia made the merchants of Middle Earth pay high taxes when they entered the territory of the Abbas Dynasty of the Arab Empire, and the huge profits generated by the huge market in Central Asia also shrunk greatly. Asian business taxes were also reduced to a level that the middle-earth sages and bureaucrats could not tolerate. Therefore, the decision to force the Arab Empire to withdraw from Central Asia through military force and politics was passed.

This incident shows that the merchants in Middle Earth already have the power to influence the decision-making of Gao Tianyuan Tang Empire.Of course, the landlords of Middle-earth also discovered one thing in the trend of more and more people turning to manufacturing and commerce.

That is, serfs are much more cost-effective than hiring people to farm.

During the Yuanhe period of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, the Gaotianyuan Tang Empire repeatedly used troops against the grasslands, Tubo, and the Western Regions, degrading a large number of captives to slaves and becoming serfs of the middle land owners. Through this incident, it can be clearly understood that many All the use of troops this time was the result of the scholar-bureaucrats and landlords prompting the ruling class to use troops.

The self-cultivators who lost the land brought about by the land annexation were absorbed by commerce and manufacturing, and the large amount of land held by the landlords that was not cultivated was cultivated by the landlords by buying a large number of slaves. The consequences of these two actions are , although the land annexation is serious, the stamina of the Gaotianyuan Tang Empire is extremely sufficient.

Shangyang did not change China, Shangyang only used 150 years of time to cultivate and strengthen the capitalist class in the Central Plains, and then the capitalist class in the Central Plains cooperated with the landlords and scholar-officials to change the ancient China, making Datang a country beyond the rise and fall of dynasties The world's first empire.

This is what Shang Yang wants to see, the balance between the two instruments.

Not only using the ability of Liangyi, Shangyang also freely applied the thought of "Liangyi" to his own layout. From this point of view, Shangyang not only has an extremely deep understanding of "Liangyi", but also , He has also mastered the method of long-lived species using a long time to slowly achieve their goals.

This is different from the layout ability of human beings. Because of the short lifespan of human beings, the layout needs to pay attention to timeliness.But Shang Yang, who has a long life, doesn't really need this kind of timeliness. He only needs to use the laws of history properly, grasp the key nodes, and then wait for the long river to help him complete everything.

But after all, it is a human society, and a long-term state is unlikely to exist. The state of cooperation and opposition between the Central Plains bourgeoisie and the scholar-bureaucrat and landlord class led by Shangyang is also unlikely to exist for a particularly long time.

After the death of Tang Xianzong, the sage of Zhongtu, the political talents of Tang Muzong and Tang Jingzong who came to the throne were mediocre, and the two generations of saints reigned for only six years, and Tang Wenzong who came to the throne afterwards was also a wise monarch like Emperor Jing of Han. Wuzong and Tang Xuanzong were even better, but it is strange that the national power of Gaotianyuan Tang Empire, which was lucky to be succeeded by three outstanding saints in succession, increased and decreased suddenly under the rule of these saints.

The fact is also very simple. Under the rule of the three saints Tang Dezong, Tang Shunzong, and Tang Xianzong, the middle-earth merchants who had accumulated huge power, at the end of Tang Xianzong's rule, according to historical laws, naturally reached out to the power of Gao Tianyuan Tang Empire .The bureaucrats supported by the capitalist class in the Central Plains began to fight with the bureaucrats representing the literati and landlords in the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace in Chang'an, the political center of the empire.

The Tang Empire in Gaotianyuan finally encountered a problem that could lead to the demise of the dynasty.

Although the previous two saints, Tang Muzong and Tang Jingzong, were in power for less than six years, it was during these six years that because of the mediocre political methods of these two saints, it was enough to balance the imperial power of the two factions. It didn't work at all in six years. When Tang Wenzong came to the throne, the struggle between the two factions had already become fierce.

During the period of Tang Wenzong, Tang Wuzong and Tang Xuanzong's rule of the country, the main energy of the three saints was placed on mediating the contradictions between the two factions, so that the Gaotianyuan Tang Empire, which was actively expanding outwards, experienced a long period of "conservative expansion" , and the struggle between the two factions is not only about the power of the Tang Empire, but also involves all aspects of the Tang Empire, which has also had a considerable impact on the lives of the people.

Even, the struggle between the two factions caused a rebellion to break out in the former land of Silla, which was conquered during the Yuanhe period of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty. Quite a sign of instability.

What's worse is that after Tang Xuanzong, the sage of Middle Earth known as the "Little Taizong", died, Tang Yizong who came to the throne was incompetent, and Tang Xizong was absurd.During the 29 years when these two generations of saints ruled the country, the politics was dark, the two factions fought constantly, the government orders were chaotic, and even rebellions occurred in the hinterland of the empire.

In 889 A.D., Li Ye, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty came to the throne and changed it to Yuan Longji. 889 A.D. was the first year of Emperor Zhaozong Longji of Tang Dynasty.

Before the 21-year-old young sage of Middle-earth, there is an unprecedented empire that is on the verge of being torn apart due to two major class struggles.

Shangyang is looking forward to his choice, and now he has only three choices. The first is to use extraordinary means to ease the contradictions between the two factions, and then slowly let the already powerful Central Plains capitalists take over the empire smoothly. Most of the bureaucratic system; second: it is firmly on the side of the bourgeoisie in the Central Plains, and the bureaucrats representing the traditional landlord and scholar-bureaucrat class in the bureaucratic system will be wiped out by thunderous means. However, the landlords will face him. Crazy counterattacks by literati and bureaucrats, large and small rebellions are completely predictable; third: they stand on the side of the traditional landlord and literati class and suppress the capitalist class in the Central Plains. Choosing to destroy the entire Gaotianyuan Tang Empire from the outside, and the extremely weak scholar-bureaucrats and landlords will not last long. In the end, the spokesperson of the Central Plains capitalist class will establish a new dynasty on the ruins of the Gaotianyuan Tang Empire.

China has a long history of thousands of years. The Central Plains capitalist class born in it will not choose to change the dynasty until the last moment. This is not only because the members of the Central Plains capitalist class are also educated by Confucianism , but also because once the war breaks out, business will be greatly impacted.

And even if the spokesperson of the capitalist class in the Central Plains finally establishes a new dynasty, this dynasty is not a constitutional monarchy, but a feudal dynasty with a strong capital color and suitable for businessmen. Thousands of years of tradition determine that all this must be the case.

However, no matter whether it is a matter of course or a change of dynasty, no matter what method is used to obtain the ruling power of Central China, it is known that on this land of tens of millions of square kilometers, the struggle between the capitalist class of the Central Plains and the landlords will be extremely long. Yes, or even hundreds of years or even thousands of years.

Well, but Shang Yang has no idea about this part of the development. Killing An Lushan, who is a foreign race, and helping Xuanzong quell the Anshi Rebellion is not only for Shang Yang's plan in Dongying Dahe, but also because Shang Yang is a descendant of Yanhuang Miao. Erlang's heart is devoted to the Tang Dynasty, which represents one of the pinnacles of florists.But for the ancient Huaxia, the hometown of all the Han people, to inject the power enough to change the nightmare of the rise and fall of the dynasty, it is Shang Yang who is repaying his gratitude to the flower growers who raised him for decades, and to the Han civilization that taught him Han thinking. .

Beiming is deep, and it has a wide range of things to see; Ming water is soup, destiny is boundless; the present is not happy, the dead will die; separation and reunion, who will explain the details; will be in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the beauty will be splendid; Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty; the son of the Han family guarded the hometown with blood; the two capitals were majestic and turned into grass; the three officials were separated from each other for a thousand years; Rise and fall; the six sages govern the world and are unparalleled in the world; the tripod revolution is approaching, where will it go; Kyushu, the hometown of China for a thousand years;

May my Middle Earth live endlessly and prosper; may my Middle Earth be peaceful and peaceful forever.

ps: At this point, there has been nothing in the first eighty chapters, and the role of the unparalleled Gao Tianyuan Tang Empire is over. How much Ning Chu hopes, our world line, Datang, and even China , It’s as smooth as Ning Chu imagined, but the fact is that on our world line, the Great Tang Empire has declined at its peak, and the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties has gone away.Even though he was melancholy, disappointed, and knew it was impossible, Ning Chu hoped even more that from now on, the flower growers who had endured 5000 years of suffering would be prosperous forever, peaceful and peaceful forever.
