Although Wang Mang has exhausted his skills in governing the country and suppressing uprisings, he is a highest-level hypocrite after all

Yuren still has a few tricks.

Although he had just become a groom, his joy and good fortune did not follow: more and more people starved to death, and more and more people shouted and scolded to beat

Many.

So, he could only struggle desperately and resorted to the last 3 tricks: making a show, closing the stall, and throwing a knife.

In fact, these 3 moves are nothing new, he has also played them for everyone in the past, but he concentrated on playing these few times in a short time before he died, and moved individually

It has been modified to make it more harmful.

Besides, his sinful life is about to come to an end, and how he dies is the last highlight of his performance.

For the record, we have no intention of being spectators of any tragedy.

However, the disasters that Wang Mang has brought to the common people are too serious, and the poison he has brought to China's political culture is too deep, and each of us must and has the right to admit it

True observation, in-depth analysis, and thorough liquidation.

We should do the same to all those who harm the common people! Our aim is to try to avoid a repeat of the tragedy.

Wang Mang's first trick is to make a show, which has been used repeatedly in the past, and it is already very old-fashioned, and now he has added new elements:

In the past, the main purpose of doing this was to deceive people, but this time I plan to directly kill a group of people at the same time as deceiving people.

In the face of the unprecedented famine and war famine throughout the country, except for those who rebelled and starved to death, most of the common people were skinny and golden-eyed, and in some places there were still occurrences

The tragedy of people eating people, or changing children to eat.

In order to add a peaceful atmosphere to his newlywed, Wang Mang advertised the world, saying that plants and trees contain a lot of nutrients, and they can be eaten directly or boiled to drink.

He sent a working group to teach the common people to cook soup from plants and trees.

In fact, since Wang Mang came to power, the common people have long been accustomed to eating tree bark and weeds, where to teach those bastards!

At this time, grain was as expensive as gold, and the price of grain soared, Wang Mang and his henchmen did not understand economics at all, so they taught people to build a big barn, which was empty, and sent martial arts

Pretending to be a soldier guarding it, saying that it contained food.

He thought that this would bring down the price of food, but in fact, even the ghost couldn't stop it.

Ordinary people who had not yet starved to death and did not want to fight poured into the capital of Chang'an from all directions, hoping in despair that a miracle would happen: to see if they could survive in the capital

Go down.

At this time, Wang Mang symbolically took out a little relief grain from the treasury and set up a special position "support officer" to help the hungry.

Because Wang Mang's regime simply cannot tolerate good officials, and its employment mechanism cannot produce officials who can take out their hands, all of these "support officials".

He is an expert in sucking people's fat and ointment.

They also symbolically took out a little bit of this already small amount of relief food, and the rest was filled with their own pockets.

As a result, seven or eight out of ten hungry people who came to the capital to try their luck starved to death.

This further shows that the common people died from corrupt officials and corrupt officials, or in other words, it was the dirty politics of corrupt officials and corrupt officials with Wang Mang as a typical representative that led to the common people

Hunger was everywhere, and bones were in disarray.

We have previously summarized the reasons for the failure of Wang Mang's new policy of bullying the people, one of which is the failure of employing people.

He started by engaging in intrigue and trickery, and in order to ascend the throne and sit firmly, he can only use those who have no virtue and no talent. And these people can only do two things

son, one is loyal to Wang Mang in order to seek the step of advancement; The second is to pervert the law for bribes in order to enrich one's own pockets.

Of course, qualities or skills such as hypocrisy, fraud, cheating, unscrupulousness, and brazenness are also necessary for them.

One day, Wang Mang heard that the streets of Chang'an were full of hunger, so he took time out of his busy honeymoon life and asked Wang Ye what was going on.

Wang Ye was in charge of the Zhonghuangmen market transactions in the capital at that time, which was equivalent to the director of the industrial and commercial bureau in the capital, and was personally appointed by Wang Mang.

As soon as he took office, he colluded with high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and used his power to buy and sell disaster relief materials cheaply

Make a windfall.

This time, Wang Mang helped the victims, which also brought Wang Ye a new opportunity to make a fortune.

Historically, whenever the government has public works and funds and materials to benefit the people, it is a good opportunity for Qing officials to serve the people; For dirty officials,

It is the grasp of power and self-fertilization.

Wang Ye is an ugly example.

As soon as he saw his master asking, Wang Ye was prepared, so he replied: "The dead are all homeless people. ”

As he spoke, he brought bread and meat soup and reported to Wang Mang: "Now the people in Chang'an City eat this. ”

I don't know if I believe it when my head is in water, or if I am too busy on my honeymoon to take care of it so much, Wang Mang didn't ask again.

Wang Mang's second move is to close the stall.

It should be said that a series of measures taken by Wang Mang to bully the people were gradually released, and they were also bankrupt one by one.

Let's use an analogy, he is like a black-hearted peddler who sells counterfeit and shoddy goods that pit people, stopping passers-by and forcibly selling them, and getting into trouble every time he makes it

The passers-by were so angry that some of them even beat him.

He had no choice but to put his things away.

When all his things are thrown to the ground because of the trap and even the killing of people, and the people who are not killed come around and want to flatten him, he does not take the stall at all

No way.

That's it for now.

Wang Mang saw that his political prestige had been discredited, his economy had collapsed, and he had suffered successive defeats militarily, and no matter how thick his skin and scalp were, he couldn't hold on

A working group was dispatched to announce the repeal of the "New Deal" measures.

Since there is no one around him who can do the slightly technical work, he himself does not know how many policies have been issued and which ones should be abolished, so he simply announces them;

Since his accession to the throne, all decrees that are unfavorable to the people have been withdrawn.

He frequently issued notices, saying that everyone should disband and go home, and they will not blame the past, and everyone will stop beating me in the future, and I will not trouble everyone.

Whoever continues to make trouble, I will send a million army to fight him!

However, it was too late.

These decrees and measures have caused the destruction of lives and the paralysis of the regime, and people no longer dare to believe him, and it is too late for him to close his stalls.

Just like the black-hearted peddler I just said, he killed so many people that he wanted to run, but there was no way!

Therefore, the trick of closing the stall has no effect at all.

Wang Mang's third and final move is to throw a knife.

For him, soft knives, hard knives, visible and invisible knives, anything that can destroy people, he often uses and uses it repeatedly.

However, that was basically him holding and stabbing people with his hands. This time he threw the knife, his action was throwing, it was a desperate and desperate fight.
