Why is the historian ashamed to be with Wang Mang? Why did the common people scold him?

Let's summarize for him for several reasons.

First of all, Wang Mang did not establish the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, but only devoted himself to himself.

In other words, he performed purely for the sake of money, without regard for the feelings of the audience.

The policy of Wang Tian and slaves and maids formulated and implemented by him was to increase the revenue of the national treasury and safeguard the interests of the people

Strong landlords, in addition to paying more money to the government, just feel that they have been deceived.

This came to an end only three years after the promulgation of 9 A.D., and the tax rate was increased from "tithe" to "five taxes", and the tax rate was increased by four times

The money has increased 30 times to 3,600 wen per person per year.

Both policies were opposed by all.

If Wang Mang circled money and implemented the policy of Wang Tian and slaves and maids to "steal" through taxes, as for the "five equals" and "six pipes", they were "openly robbed".

On the surface, he said that he would strengthen the management of industry and commerce and stabilize prices, but in fact, under the banner of the state, he allowed a few powerful people to openly monopolize public resources

, wanton exploitation and looting of businessmen and consumers.

Of course, when bullying the common people, Wang Mang's methods sometimes carry his distinct hypocrite style.

Because he has been a hypocrite for a long time, has deep kung fu, and has a lot of experience, he has tasted a lot of sweetness, and he will not give up easily.

This cannot but say that his third trick of stealing the country for personal gain and looting wealth is coaxing.

Yes, it's coaxing!

For example, the reform of the currency system is his subjective desire to accumulate wealth and leave a name in history, and a frantic contest with objective laws and the interests of the people.

From the 7th year of residence to the end of the 23rd year, in the past 10 years, Wang Mang issued 4 edicts to reform the currency system, and 5 edicts to reiterate the currency system order and prohibit private affairs

The harsh punishment of coinage is supplemented by coercion, torture, and other coercion through frequent changes in the value of the currency, the use of cheap coins, and the depreciation of the currency

Duan, coaxing the wealth of the common people step by step, little by little, into his own hands.

Wang Mang has always wanted to erase the imprint of the Liu dynasty in people's minds and put the color of the new Mang dynasty in various social and political life, so as to

Leave a name in history.

At that time, the traditional character "Liu" consisted of three parts: Mao, Jin, and Knife, which actually had nothing to do with currency, but Wang Mang wanted to make a big fuss.

He believes that the currency in circulation at that time was five baht coins, deed knives, wrong knives, etc., which were often commonly referred to as golden knives, and if everyone did not use them, it would not be equal

Don't you think about the Liu Han Dynasty anymore?

He declared that gold and silver were nationalized and not exchanged; The currency of the Han Dynasty was abolished and replaced with a new currency.

This new currency has been devalued again and again and used to produce inferior coins to form a series of "5 things, 6 names and 28 products".

The so-called "five things" are five different types of coins: gold, silver, copper, tortoise shell, and shell; 6 is the name of the 6 currencies, namely gold, silver, turtle coins,

shellfish, cloth, spring; 28 is the ratio of 28 currencies.

Everyone is optimistic, this kind of monetary system is so complex and chaotic that even Wang Mang himself can't understand it, and there are only a few of his hearts that are responsible for operating this matter

The abdomen is the insider.

The new currency, which should be the same as the currencies of previous dynasties, can not only reflect the actual level of economic development, but also be convenient for the people to use, but now it is for everyone

It's dizzy to watch.

It doesn't matter, this one of mine is just to make you dizzy, just pay out of your pocket.

In this way, Wang Mang successfully turned the social economy into a pot of porridge through several tricks such as secret robbery, open robbery, and coaxing, and the wealth of himself and a very small number of powerful people

It is growing rapidly in geometric multiples.

Later, when someone ran up to the stage and hacked him to death, he rummaged through his pocket, and there were 600,000 catties of gold!

The second reason why Wang Mang was scolded was that he failed to employ people.

In order to ascend the throne and sit firmly, he used the vast majority of people who were unvirtuous and talentless.

These guys will only do two things: one is to be loyal to Wang Mang to seek a way to get ahead, and the other is to extort money to enrich themselves. And those who are virtuous and talented

Negative people (such as Liu Xiu) have no way to serve the country and have no place to use.

A great man once said that after the political line is decided, the cadres are the decisive factor.

This great man and his colleagues formulated policies to serve the people wholeheartedly, and the cadres were not selfish, so they were able to gain universal support and lead the people

Overthrow the three mountains and establish a new people's republic.

If we take a good look at history, we will find that those who want to be a brother and don't understand this truth are destined to be just passers-by.

Let's take a look at Wang Mang's way of employing people.

It is a very noteworthy historical fate that he was brought to power by the people he used and destroyed in the hands of these people.

As we said earlier, Wang Mang regarded the forged copper cabinet of the mourning chapter as a Fu Rui who was appointed to represent the Han.

In fact, he knew better than anyone else that this thing was just an ordinary object.

However, he had the determination and confidence to use this thing to deceive the cadres and masses of the whole country to the end.

According to this Fu Rui of the mourning chapter, he worshiped 11 ministers and formed the core leadership team of the new court.

That is, the "four auxiliaries": Taishi An Xingong Wang Shun, Taifu on the new fair Yan, Guoshi Jiaxin Gong Liu Xin, and the national general Meixin Gong Mourning Zhang; "Three Princesses": Dasi

Ma Chengxin Gong Zhen Han, Da Situ Zhang, Xin Gong Wang Xun, Da Sikong Long Xin Gong Wang Yi; "Four generals": Zhen Feng is the first general, Sun Jian is the founding general, and Wang Xing

is General Wei, Wang Sheng is a former general. The total is 11 males.

In this team, Wang Shun, Ping Yan, Liu Xin, Zhen Han, Wang Xun, Wang Yi, Zhen Feng, Sun Jian and other 8 people were originally members of the old team, Wang Mang

henchmen.

They had long been mentally prepared, and as soon as they saw Wang Mang's appointment, they immediately took office.

Lamentation was very excited!

He thought to himself that he was just a gangster who traveled to the capital, and yesterday he was still worried about not knowing who to fool next and where to eat the next meal.

Today, completely please, this hypocritical, murderous and shameless political ecology, relying on a little trickery on its own, has it risen to the core of the country's leadership, is it?

Didn't you pick up a big bargain out of thin air? It's rare that people can't wake up with a smile when they sleep?

There is indescribable joy in the heart of the mourning chapter: it is so simple to be an official!

He was overjoyed when he learned the news of Wang Mang's formation of a new team, afraid that Wang Mang would regret it, so he quickly made a set of official uniforms and took the initiative without waiting for the public to issue clothes

Thanksgiving to the court, immediately take office.

It's just that the names of Wang Xing and Wang Sheng were originally nonsense, and naturally no one reacted after the appointment document of the imperial court was issued.

Of course, Wai Zhang didn't dare to explain the truth, so he could only cover his mouth and snicker behind his back.

Wang Mang was anxious to be a brother, and for the sake of the "overall situation", he sent additional people to search for "Wang Xing" and "Wang Sheng" everywhere, saying that as long as the names matched, no matter what he was

What are you doing, hurry up and be a leader.

It's not that hard.

The staff searched around and soon had:

There was a gatekeeper in the capital, named Wang Xing; There was a flatbread seller named Wang Sheng.

Wang Mang was afraid that these two people would not play with him, so he hurriedly arranged for the relevant departments to send clothes to the two kings, and summoned them to the court to discuss politics and worship as generals.

The two kings were confused, and they suddenly became dignitaries in the court from Shengdou Xiaomin, and felt that this glory and wealth were too much!

The two of them were extremely popular ministers out of vacancy, afraid that they were dreaming, biting their lips and pinching their arms were very painful, knowing that this was true, they hurriedly went to the court to be officials.

More than 80 years ago, a historian couldn't help but sigh about this: the sky falls and the steamed dog creates.

At the same time, in order to better unite the people with both ability and political integrity around him and make good use of them, Wang Mang vigorously changed the organization and personnel of the former Han Dynasty

system, the establishment of a new reckless official system that allows people who lack virtue and talent to grow rapidly, so that people with both ability and political integrity have no chance.

There are two main approaches he takes:

The first is to increase new official positions, so that more people have the best opportunities, and at the same time enable the state apparatus to greatly increase operating costs and reduce operating efficiency;

The second is to change the name of the Han official, it doesn't matter if everyone is not used to it and it is inconvenient, the key is to let everyone try to forget Liu Han and remember Xinmang.

Wang Mang added a large number of new official posts from the central to the local level.

For example, 4 auxiliaries, 3 gongs, 4 generals, 9 secretaries and 6 supervisors were set up in the organs directly under the central government, and posts such as Da Sima Si Yun, Da Situ Si Zhi, and Da Sikong Si Ruo were added; earth

Fangshang is divided into 9 states, 125 counties, and 2,203 counties across the country, and a large number of deputy posts have been added.

In 12 A.D., Wang Mang vowed to seal the princes, and then announced the division of more than 2,000 people.

However, because the new organizational and personnel system is too complex and cumbersome, it is difficult to do the basic work (such as the sub-enveloped atlas) in a short period of time

In fact, there is no way to grant it to the country.

These more than 2,000 knighted people had no choice but to live in the capital temporarily, and each received a few thousand dollars a month from the treasury for expenses.

At this time, prices skyrocketed, and the thousands of dollars in the capital were simply not enough.

As a result, these people who were sealed felt that their hands were tight, so they tried to do something bad to generate income.

(All are poor, and there are mediocre authors.) ）

As mentioned earlier, Wang Mang's reused cadres will have two tricks, one is to be loyal to him, and the other is to accumulate money.

When we say this, we are not bullying the ancients, let alone sweeping many people, because this is indeed the case.

When Wang Mang performed on stage, these people could only drill around in the audience according to Wang Mang's requirements, holding knives and raising eyebrows

The crowd is out of pocket. And if they really want to go on stage to assist, they either hit the wrong gong and drum, or they can't sing the lyrics.

Therefore, Wang Mang later smashed the act, not only because of his own credit, but also because of the help of these buddies.

For example, when Wang Mang implemented the five equals and six pipes, he used Uncle Zhang, Xue Zizhong and others.

These two brothers were originally big business owners and powerful landlords, and they were all veterans of scheming and plundering.

They threw themselves under Wang Mang's command, swaggered as high-ranking cadres, and put on the coat of government officials, so it was more convenient for them to let go of their hands and feet and coax

Raising prices, hoarding, buying cheaply and selling expensively, and embezzlement.

They were filial to Wang Mang at the top, colluded with local cadres in the middle, and looted at the bottom, making a windfall.

If anyone delayed their fortune, Wang Mang used the state apparatus to severely crack down.

(Under each tube, in order to set up a department to prevent prohibition, the offender sins to death, and the people resist the guilt of the people.) ）

In this way, their pockets have burst, and Wang Mang has also made a lot of money.

In handling ethnic relations, Wang Mang's cadres fully demonstrated their ignorance and incompetence.

At the beginning of Wang Mang's ascension to the throne, he sent 12 Wuwei generals to inspect all parts of the country, especially in minority areas, and the main task was to publicize Wang Mang's importance in behalf of the Han Dynasty

To the meaning and prestige of the new Mang dynasty.

These Wuwei generals flaunted their might everywhere in the interior and wantonly extorted money. When they arrived at the border, they deliberately created trouble and showed their stupidity to the fullest.

Without any reason, they demoted the kings of more than 30 vassal states in the Western Regions to marquis.

When they arrived at the Xiongnu, they renamed the Xiongnu Shan Yu as "Surrender to Slave Yu". The name smacks a bit of an insult.

They deliberately changed the word "seal" to "chapter" in exchange for the old seal letter issued by the former Han court.

Shan Yu was very unhappy when he saw it, and insisted on returning the original old seal.

Wuwei General Chen Rao smashed the old seal on the spot.

Shan Yu was furious and immediately sent troops to invade the interior.

The leaders of the ethnic minorities of the Western Regions also issued statements one after another, announcing their separation from the new dynasty and sending troops to attack and harass the borders.

Another trick by Wang Mang to establish the Xinmang official system was to change the name of the Han officials to strengthen the identification of the majority of cadres with the Xinmang Dynasty.

For example, in the central government, he changed Dasi Nong to Xihe, and later to Nayan; Changing Dali (i.e., Tingwei) to a scholar; Changing the lieutenant to the lieutenant, and so on.

In the locality, he changed the name of Taishou to Da Yin, and it was okay to call him a pawn or even a pawn; The supreme governor of a county has three names: county magistrate, county magistrate, and county magistrate.

Everyone knows at a glance that it is really not interesting to change a name for the sake of changing a name like this.

Of course, his other name change is even more boring, that is, the local administrative division and name, and the name of the palace and city gate of the capital have also been greatly changed

Move.

For example, change Chang'an to Chang'an, change Changle Palace to Changle Palace, and so on.

The third reason why Wang Mang was scolded was that he did not and could not formulate and implement policies and measures that conformed to the laws of social development.

Wang Mang's unbelievable and self-interested governance purpose, and his cadre team with no virtue and no talent, only know how to be loyal and accumulate wealth, determined whether his dynasty was not

It may conform to the trend of historical development and lead the people to find a happy life.

For example, his "Wang Tian" policy is completely a product of the "three beats" type of governance, that is, those in power pat their heads to get ideas, and the relevant cadres pat their chests and watches

Situation, the accident is out of control, everyone pats their butts and leaves.

The land issue in our country is very complex and sensitive.

In the late Han Dynasty, private ownership of land had been practiced for hundreds of years. Although the whole world is not the king's land, there is a specific piece of land that has its own owner.

After all, land is the most basic means of production and subsistence, and it is very convenient for people to use it to exploit people or to avoid exploitation by others as much as possible.

When Wang Mang announced that the land would be nationalized, both large and small landlords and homesteaders with a few acres of thin land were strongly dissatisfied.

Under the private ownership of land, for the reasons just mentioned, landlords, yeoman farmers, and tenants all want to buy some land.

Now, your Wang Mang stipulates that land is not allowed to be bought and sold, which is actually stuck in everyone's neck.

In addition, according to the theoretical calculations of experts, if the land in the whole country was distributed evenly according to households, each household would not be more than 60 mu at that time. Considering the imperial court, the locality

The government and landlords obviously occupy more than the average amount of land, and the common people's income per household must be much less than 60 mu.

Therefore, Wang Mang's so-called granting landless peasants to each household at the rate of 100 mu was coaxing from the beginning.

In this way, the Wangtian policy was fiercely opposed by everyone, and everyone would rather commit a crime than accept it.

Since the promulgation of this Wangtian policy in 9 A.D., the cadres and masses of the whole country have resisted. Because of the violation of the relevant prohibitions, "from the princes and doctors to the common people, resist."

The number of sinners is innumerable."

Just three years later, Wang Mang had to abolish the policy.

The same is true of his slave and maid policy, currency reform, five equalization and six control measures, etc., because the law of disregard for customers and the interests of the common people are all in power

After making enough money and messing up society, the fun is over soon.

Wang Mang not only failed to bring a good life to the people, but instead tried every means to loot and harm the people, knock out the bones and suck the marrow, and peel the skin into the bones, he was cut down

And no one sympathizes either.

Finally, the fourth reason why Wang Mang was scolded was that his heart was too black and his hands were too poisonous.

We've seen that.

He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, whether it is the monarch and the people, or his closest relatives, as long as he stands in the way, or looks unpleasant, he says black

It's black.

But because his hypocrite's cultivation is too deep, everyone couldn't see his true face clearly.

Now, after he usurped the Han with fraud, he vigorously promoted a new policy of deception, and everyone finally saw it clearly:

His usurpation of the Han Dynasty only ruined the Liu family, and his new policy will destroy the people of the world!

I'm sorry Wang Mang, everyone wants to cut you!

Everyone wants to cut you so much!

Just when the angry audience was about to climb up to the stage and beat Wang Mang, the chief director of the social life drama God also took the opportunity to act at the right time

Push a young, talented actor to the center of the stage:

He is Liu Xiu.
