Rebirth in the Late Northern Wei Dynasty

Gao Cheng was born in Huaishuo Town (now Guyang County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region). He was extremely intelligent, strict and strategic, and had political talent. He was deeply loved by Gao Huan. After the establishment of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he successively held the posts of Shangshu Ling, Daxingtai, Bingzhou Governor, Gyeonggi Governor, and Staff Minister. In the third year of Tianping (536), he entered the court to assist in the administration, worshiped as a general, and was later named King of Bohai. By reforming the official election system, punishing corruption and bribery, rectifying officialdom, and formulating laws, authority was quickly established. After his father Gao Huan passed away, Gao Cheng succeeded him as prime minister and governor of the Chinese and foreign military affairs, and was based in Jinyang. He defeated the rebel general Hou Jing, rebelled against Liang, expanded the Huaihe River and Henan, effectively united the ruling class, and controlled the power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. He greatly contributed to the consolidation of the Gao family's position and the transition of power between the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi. His historical status can be compared with Sima Shi, Emperor Jing of the Jin Dynasty. In the seventh year of Wuding (549), Gao Cheng completed the preparations for seizing the throne of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. He was assassinated by Shannu on the eve of his acceptance of Zen at the age of twenty-nine. After his brother Gao Yang established the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was posthumously named emperor, with the posthumous title Wenxiang and the temple name Shizong.

In ancient times, attaching importance to business was a dead end. The professional characteristic of a businessman is freedom and he is anti-royal. Businessmen cannot be controlled under a centralized system. You can't compare Europe's business development with China's. The two systems are completely different. Under the feudal system, the royal power and even the religious power had limited cooperation with the merchants, while under the centralized system, the imperial power and the merchants were in opposition. Also, don't use Song Dynasty business to apply to modern business? Business in the Song Dynasty was a franchise system, and only officials and their relatives could do business. In the gentry society during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, if the development of business was encouraged, the power of the clan would be greatly increased. The clans have power, production sources, channels, and relevant talents, and the dividends from business development will fall into their hands. There is also the poll tax. In ancient times, 90% of people could not leave any descendants. The poll tax will make the population join the family. In the Han Dynasty, the clans relied on poll taxes to gather a large number of people to form manors. It can be said that commerce + poll tax will definitely increase the power of clans. At this time, if the dynasty's policy does not favor them, such as canceling the imperial examination. Then just wait for the world to be in chaos.

Chapter 425 is really disgusting and has no lower limit. The author is still enjoying himself and decisively abandons the trap and reports it.

After reading about ten chapters, the plot is unremarkable.

Same as above,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, why QQ reading is not updated, the starting point is still being updated

It's nonsense. You're so stupid in the first chapter. How can you make us readers feel so embarrassed...

It's charming to read and the writing is humorous.

Seeing that merchants and peasants were jointly promoted in Chapter 200, let's take a closer look at why the emphasis was on agriculture and suppressed business. It's really outrageous to give status back to business. The rules left by our ancestors are that businessmen cannot interfere in politics. You really might as well just copy Yuan Gaocheng's work to avoid risks. If a modern official said this, he would be investigated for three generations.

Every time I see the protagonist Gao Cheng being beaten by his father Gao Huan, I can't help but laugh! Back to the topic, this book is really good and highly recommended (I hope this book won't be a eunuch)

Author, in fact, just copy the history of Gao Cheng. Don't be so harsh on the personal. If you engage in mercantile business, you will die. Ancient productivity does not support it.
