Vol 3 Chapter 1544: Wang Mang's ideal turned into empty

Although Liu Yu has been involved in history books under the influence of Liu Muzhi in recent years, after all, the foundation is too poor. Many things are just a rough idea, and they have not been studied in depth. He is more interested in the transition of the two Hans. The deeds and the miraculous battles like the Battle of Kunyang, instead of Wang Mang ’s various governance methods, in his impression, this is a hypocrisy, a hypocrite who reversed his actions, pretended to be like a saint before he came to power, and even lost his hand The son who killed a domestic slave committed suicide to repay his life, but after he became the emperor, he caused chaos in the world. The rebels started up and eventually missed the life of Qing Qing. Whether it is in a storytelling or a history book, this is useless and sinful. The character of, even people do not want to understand his cases, as long as he knows that this is an ancient villain.
But to Zhi Miaoyin, Liu Yu was a little confused, yeah, what kind of tyrant can make the world go into chaos, and attack it in groups, is it like Qin II, Shang Qiu King so endlessly levied Is the use of civilian power to make people heartbroken? But Wang Mang's new dynasty didn't seem to repair the Great Wall or Zheng Siyi, how could it make the world chaotic? Liu Yu suddenly had a trace of curiosity in his heart.
Zhi Miaoyin saw that Liu Yu's eyes changed again and again, and knew that he had moved himself, smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that Brother Yu doesn't understand this story, so would you like to hear Miaoyin talk about this? How did Emperor Xinmang change from a sage to a man? "
Liu Yu was undecided, a beautiful voice gently opened her lips, and the graceful voice matched her silver bell-like voice, swaying Liu Yu's ear, just like a natural sound: "Actually, Wang Mang became the emperor, and like you, there is a He is full of blood and ideals, and wants to return to a world of Qingping. He was not an emperor like the last tyrants of the previous dynasty, indulging in sensuality, just for enjoyment, but with ambition, he wanted to do something. He relied on ancient restructuring and wanted Imitating the ancient king, realizing equality for all, cultivators have their own fields, and the ideal country of self-reliance, so he issued a decree to restore the Zhou Dynasty ’s well-field system, nationalize the fields that originally belonged to the powerful landlords, and then divide them Farming for ordinary people, Brother Yu, are you excited about hearing this? Do you think that your ideals can be realized by someone? "
Liu Yu opened his mouth and was surprised. "This is a good thing. Why didn't it come true in the end? Could it be that there was an organization like the Mafia in the last years of the Han Dynasty, and it was bad for him?"
Zhi Miaoyin sighed: "Although the ideal is good, it can be too far away from reality. Since the ancient kings, there have been princes, high and low, and for thousands of years, the world has its own set of orders and rules, The landlords are powerful and occupy land, while the tenant tenants have no land and can only rely on these landlords and powerful people to become their servants, tenants, and even seeds and agricultural tools, often given by these owners. "
"They are used to working for their masters all their lives, and do not expect to have their own land. Even under the refuge of these powerful landlords, all taxes and labor levied by the state can be paid by the masters. All you have to do is pay the food according to the tax rate set by the owner. In this way, although you will live a long life, you will be able to make a living. If you are lucky, if you encounter a war in the country, you will be rewarded after the military is awarded. You can buy land and land to discuss a house wife and pass on the lineage. "
"However, Wang Mang wished to regain the land of the landlord and gave it to tenants, and then levied various taxes on them to allow them to perform various military and labor services. The guests stopped, they did n’t think it was a good thing to own the land, but because they had the land, they had to pay much heavier taxes than before, and they were not free. Even the landlords no longer provided agricultural tools and seeds. Taking advantage of the opportunity to drive up the prices of these means of production led to the rapid bankruptcy of these self-cultivators, which could only change the seller's property and even imagine selling them as slaves as before. You know, selling slaves at this time is no longer a matter of considering personal freedom. It ’s only that you can live only as a slave. Only by relying on these powerful landlords can you have a life. "
Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, Miaoyin said that was the situation at that time, but Wang Mang forbids slaves in the country, and even this way of selling as a slave is forbidden. The world's powerful landlord is so willing to give up. The land is often blamed on the ground, while returning the land to the people, and in the name of the court, levying various kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes that ordinary people cannot afford, so that they ca n’t live, so in a few years, the world is in chaos, and the refugees are all around. Chimei is a standard army of refugees. They started to seek a way of life. Later, the Liu family of the world also joined in. Finally, the green forest Chimei army first entered the gate and smashed Wang Mang, and Liu Xiu followed. Destroy the various militia forces and local powerful forces, unify the world, and establish the Han Dynasty. "
Liu Yu's brow furrowed: "In this way, Wang Mang is still an ideal, and wants to make people all over the world free ~ EbookFREE.me ~ A good emperor who is self-reliant? But why did things happen like this? Isn't he powerful? Officials, do you implement these policies for him? Why ca n’t the people survive without the landlords?

Zhi Miaoyin sighed quietly: "Because farming involves all aspects, it can't be completed by a single household. The fields need irrigation, seeds need to be stored, fertilizer needs to be supplied, and finally harvesting, storage, and sales all require cooperation. Yes Hundreds of households and thousands of households need to be concentrated to achieve greater grain production. If it is only one household, it must be self-sufficient. At least 100 acres of land is required. The efficiency of farming is very low. Brother, you have been engaged in farming, and you should know this better than me. "
Liu Yu scratched his head embarrassedly: "Well, I used to be afraid that it was too troublesome to grow the land, so I didn't want to grow the land. Instead of hunting for firewood or fish, I would rather go hunting. My whole life is also in these fishing and hunting In the practice, you say this, it is true that although our farmers in Jingkou do not belong to any family, but when they are in spring cultivation, summer floods, and autumn harvests, they all help each other in the village. Otherwise, no one wants to have a good harvest, so the villagers and villagers rely on this relationship to maintain. Correspondingly, between villages and villages, between villages and townships, they often fight for irrigation of a river It's a bloodshed, and our annual fight in Jingkou evolved from this. "
