Chapter 1002: The Past and Present Life of Wang Mang of the Traveler (Part I)

Some people are born to be the protagonist, Wang Mang thinks that he is such a person, after all, he was even bumped into such a thing as crossing, isn't this a proper protagonist template?

Wang Mang is a red third generation, born and raised under the red flag in 70 years, he has excellent grades in all subjects in school, but he especially hates history.

In the college entrance examination, Wang Mang only scored more than 20 points in history, so he only went to one or two universities, but Wang Mang didn't care, after all, with his family background, it doesn't matter whether he goes to college or not.

In a sophomore year, Wang Mang, who was called a dead fat house at that time, fell off the cliff because of an accidental stumble, but when he woke up, he found that he had traveled to the end of the Western Han Dynasty and became a member of the Wang family.

Even if Wang Mang is a novice in history, he still knows the Han Dynasty, but he has almost no understanding of the period in which he lived.

Before the crossing, Wang Mang didn't look at the crossing, but after the real crossing, he regretted why he didn't learn history well, so that now his eyes are black, and he doesn't even know what contemporary historical celebrities there are.

Wang Mang's knowledge of the era he was in was almost zero, and in his eyes, there was not much difference between this place and the other world, but Wang Mang didn't care, after all, he was a traverser.

But any traverser must be the protagonist, so even if he doesn't know anything, the whole world will still revolve around him.

Although Wang Mang thought so in his heart, but the identity of the traverser did not make him swell, and under the step-by-step and careful calculation, he finally reached the peak of power, and was ready to use his 'advanced' ideas to completely reform this decadent country.

Although Wang Mang's history is not good, he remembers what Grandpa Mao said, that is: the power of the people is the strongest.

Grandpa Mao relied on farmers to fight the world, and as a traverser, why can't I, Wang Mang?

As a third-generation Red Generation, Wang Mang was too heavily influenced by Red Thought, so in his own New Deal, he also referred to many policies in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

As for whether it will change history, Wang Mang doesn't care at all, he thinks that since he came to this era, history has been completely changed.

Wang Mang directly implemented the government's control of prices, forbade businessmen to hoard goods and speculate, and businessmen bought and sold goods at will, and when the supply exceeded the demand, the government bought them according to the capital, and when the demand was greater than the supply, the government sold them at ordinary prices, so as to eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor.

Wang Mang also implemented a low-rent housing policy, and invested in the construction of 5 miles in Chang'an City for the poor to live in.

Income tax is levied on artisans, or commercial activities involved in buying and selling, to stabilize prices and loan expenses.

Wang Mang attaches great importance to the development of science and technology, and also participated in the dissection of the human body with his own hands, and also invented calipers, which are relatively sophisticated instruments.

Wang Mang aimed at his idol Grandpa Mao, spared no stone to please the people of this era, and used all available methods to improve their lives.

But then Wang Mang found that no matter how hard he worked for the welfare of the people, the people of this era didn't seem to appreciate it.

The strength of the people is not as strong as imagined, and it is even far inferior to those big families, not only did it not help them, but they also added to the chaos.

It is the people who exalt themselves to heaven, and it is the people who rebel against the revolution and betray them with the rebels......

All this made Wang Mang a little confused.

He reformed for the people, and even did not hesitate to offend the world's families, but the people who could profit not only did not appreciate it, but also supported the family to rebel against themselves.

So what's the point of all this I do?

Wang Mang, who felt betrayed, gave up the goal of fighting for the people, and everything he did in the future was only for himself.

Of course, Wang Mang also knows how much impact his thoughts have on this era, so he still collected some points in the early days of the New Deal.

After giving up the goal of serving the people, Wang Mang began to completely let himself go, and even moved out of the land reform.

Wang Mang directly ordered the nationalization of land and the prohibition of private sales, so that landless peasants could be allocated a certain amount of land, and the state would compensate for the shortfall.

Wang Mang also stipulated that 100 mu of land per capita, and that those who occupied more land, whether they were rich or ordinary people, should immediately hand over their land unconditionally and distribute it to the poor, and the land was not allowed to be bought or sold as a mortgage.

In addition, Wang Mang also stipulated that the state's policy of monopolizing state-owned enterprises should all implement state-owned enterprises.

The state issued coins uniformly, abolished private money, and forbade the nobility from minting private money.

All natural resources, such as mining, are nationalized, and private miners are taxed and have to register for business licenses......

Wang Mang is working hard to change this decaying country according to his own ideas, he is not for fame or profit, just to create his own ideal 'new dynasty', as for the throne, power or something, it is just a secondary attribute of his ideals.

Counting the emergence of new ideas in the history of the world, they are all related to the development of social production at that time, and of course there are also ideas that are ahead of their time, but there has never been an idea that is nearly 2,000 years ahead like Wang Mang.

Wang Mang's policy of restructuring was completely a copy of China's planned economy in the 70s, and it was seriously out of touch with the social productive forces and the level of development at that time.

He wanted to solve the social problem of land and land, but he violated the interests of some people who owned a lot of land, and the interests of the big families.

It was even more difficult to prohibit the sale of land because these were inherent ills of the society as a whole at the time.

In addition, there is a lack of strong enforcement agencies, which makes it difficult to verify and implement.

In the end, Wang Mang's restructuring ended in failure, and Wang Mang also played himself to death.

Of course, Wang Mang didn't think that he had failed, and even if he failed, it was not a problem in policy, but that he met the son of luck in this era and his old enemy, Liu Xiu.

Wang Mang's initial impression of Liu Xiu was only three words, that is: good luck.

But gradually, Wang Mang also noticed that something was wrong, the luck of this product is not only good, it is simply good against the sky, no matter how you kill it, you can't kill it, and every time you can be killed, you can get rid of it, it's a living protagonist template!

Wang Mang felt that his position as the protagonist had been challenged, and he was even more jealous of Liu Xiu in his heart, so he mobilized more than 400,000 troops to quell the rebellion, wanting to nip Liu Xiu's threat in the bud.

But who knew that Liu Xiu's goods were like opening a hanging, no, this goods was opened, and it was even bigger than Wang Mang's plug-in for the traverser, and even meteorites could be summoned.

In the battle of Kunyang, more than 400,000 Wang Mang's army was defeated by Liu Xiujun, who was less than 20,000, due to a meteorite falling from the sky.

In the fourth year of the new Mangdi Emperor, the first army invaded Chang'an, and Wang Mang died in the chaos.
