Liu Xin is an ambitious person, he was a smart child when he was young, and now he is favored by chance, becoming an emperor, and has a world to display his ambitions.

His first step was to take charge of his own affairs.

His predecessor, Emperor Cheng, was a typical example of lazy government, with beautiful women and wine, he could basically ignore political affairs, and as a result, he single-handedly created the most powerful family of relatives.

Fortunately, there are a group of good old courtiers to help from the side, and the situation in the country is relatively stable, and there is no major chaos.

The fundamental reason for Liu Xin's foothold is to drive out the influence of the Wang family, which he has done with the help of his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Fu, but in its place, the relatives of the Ding Fu family, who are more under his control.

Liu Xin's second step was the New Deal

Liu Xin, with the help of the former Grand Sima Shidan, Prime Minister Kong Guang and others, issued a new policy.

The content of the new policy included the abolition of Yuefu, the restriction of slaves, the restriction of fields, and the abolition of the system of appointments.

In order to have fun, Emperor Cheng left a huge Yuefu, which became a huge expense in the palace, and Liu Xin laid off 414 people as soon as he came up.

He advocated frugality in the palace and opposed the sacrifice of rare birds and beasts by the county.

The restriction of slaves and fields was proposed by Shi Dan and other old courtiers, and after the civil and military discussions of the Manchu Dynasty, an extremely important decree was issued, which stipulated: princes, princes, princesses, and historians shall not occupy more than 30 hectares of land; The slaves and maids of the princes and kings are limited to 200 people, 100 princes and princesses, and 30 officials; Merchants were not allowed to occupy land and were not allowed to be officials. If the amount exceeds the upper limit, the slaves and maids in the fields will not be paid to the officials.

The original intention of this policy was very good, since the old Wang family came to power, the extravagance of the princes and nobles has become more and more intense, and there has even been a matter of Wang Li selling public land, while the treasury is becoming more and more tight year by year.

Liu Xin and others hope that through such a strategy, the state treasury will be increased and social contradictions will be eased.

Another of Liu Xin's major policies was the selection of officials, and he abolished the long-standing system of appointments. The so-called appointment system is actually that the father is an official, and the son can take the job, regardless of his character and stupidity.

In addition, a series of other new policies have been issued.

This edict is indeed very inspiring, and it gives a glimmer of hope to the increasingly difficult people.

If, I mean, if, if these policies can be implemented to the letter, it will be difficult for the old Liu family to think about it in the world.

Speaking of Liu Xin's character, he is more like a person hundreds of years ago, Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo is a rhetorical person, he has a head full of ideas, but the implementation is out of reality.

Liu Xin is similar to him, but different from him.

Liu Xinkong has the ambition to govern the country, but he has no choice but to govern the country.

Either of the policies he promulgated was to cut off the flesh of many people.

It can be expected that the difficulty of implementation can be imagined.

Therefore, it is impossible to succeed without a strong will and a masterful art of power.

Liu Xin obviously did not anticipate these difficulties, in his opinion, he only needs to formulate these policies and ask the subordinates to implement them, and he will sit firmly in the Weiyang Palace, and wait until the coming year to comfort the ancestors and ancestors.

He was wrong, the new deal was new, and the opponents came from their own homes.

The Fu family and the Ding family reacted the strongest, they gained the greatest benefits in the process of Liu Xin's ascension to the throne, and now they have just tasted a little sweetness, and they are going to cut the meat, which is tantamount to pumping their backbones.

Therefore, as soon as the order to restrict land and slaves was issued, Liu Xin's Weiyang Palace was like a bazaar, and the seven aunts and eight aunts walked one by one, making Liu Xin dizzy.

"Your Majesty, there is such a big family in the courtier's family, and there is no one to serve, so the chickens and dogs will jump."

"Your Majesty, the courtiers don't have much land, you limit the fields, and you won't even be able to eat enough when the time comes."

"Your Majesty, what kind of bird policy is this, it must not be what you meant, right?"

In the end, even his biological mother and grandmother came to oppose the New Deal.

"This, this, this... I will, think carefully..."

Liu Xin was really shaken.

As a result, the New Deal came to an abrupt end half a year later.

In addition to the abolition of Yuefu and the cleaning up of some palace maids, the rest of the so-called new policies became decorations, and even his teacher Shi Dan was later driven out of the imperial court.

How did you live in the past, and how do you live now?

The disappointment of the common people is self-evident, but the failure of the New Deal is seen in the eyes of Wang Mang, who is far away in the new capital, which causes him to think, and he closes his door, trying to find a way from the ancient books to reshape the glorious era. He believes that he will not be trapped in Xindu for the rest of his life. Power, one day, will still return to their own hands.
