No matter how good the policy is, if the timing is not appropriate, or if it is too hasty, it will not achieve good results, and it will even achieve the opposite effect.

For example, Wang Mang's New Deal.

Wang Mang's evaluation in ancient history is very low, but in modern times, Wang Mang's new policy has merit in many places.

Even in modern times, more than 2,000 years later, some of the policies of Wang Mang's New Deal have been used, or are still being used.

First, the collection of income tax, all industry and commerce, including fishing and hunting, divination, doctors. Hotels, silkworm weaving, and so on, are all subject to one-tenth of the income tax.

Second, the implementation of a planned economy, in which the government controls prices and prevents businessmen from manipulating the market, so as to eliminate the inequality between the rich and the poor.

Thirdly, to freeze the system of slavery and to prohibit the continued sale of all slave girls, so as to limit the scope and number of efforts from expanding, with the ultimate aim of their extinction.

Fourth, land was nationalized, and private individuals were not allowed to buy or sell.

You can take a look, are Wang Mang's new policies bad?

But why did it end up failing?

The reason is nothing more than unrealistic, hasty work, improper use of personnel, aggravation of social contradictions, and so on.

That's what it means to be wise to read history.

With Wang Mang's experience, when Lu Bu was in power, he did not dare to open and close in one step, but to be down-to-earth and step by step.

For example, in Dahua, the nationalization of land and the collection of income tax were successful.

It is because of the materials accumulated by Dahua and the gross domestic product that can support him to implement these systems.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Chinese State, or before the founding of the country, it did not rely on the power of the family, but constantly suppressed and eliminated the family.

It is precisely because of these foundations that Dahua has been able to implement these systems so smoothly.

And these are only the foundation and beginning of subsequent reforms.

Lu Bu's follow-up reform must still be carried out in a down-to-earth manner and step by step.

And if you want to do all this, the biggest resistance does not come from the people, but from the scholars, from the court, and from those conservative scholars!

The ruling class of the Great China Kingdom was composed of scholars and scholars.

If all the scholars and scholars are against it, then this new deal will definitely end in nothing!

And if Lu Bu even wants his concubine to be a teacher, he will be forced into the palace by the ministers, and he will have to do what the ministers want.

Then all his subsequent reforms will not have to be done.

Because all subsequent reforms will only be more radical and sharp than this, and it is even less likely to be approved by the scholars and those scholars.

This is the first battlefield between monarchs and ministers without gunsmoke, and this war, Lu Bu must win!

……

But things are getting more and more intense, and the entire court is almost all opposed.

There were very few voices in favor of Lu Bu's approach, and they soon disappeared into a wave of opposition.

Once again, after discussing state affairs, Lu Bu asked with a gloomy face: "Ladies and gentlemen, what else do you have to play?" ”

At this time, I saw a royal historian standing out of the main hall, and said loudly: "The minister has something to play!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Song Aiqing, what's the matter?" ”

Song Yushi couldn't help but say: "For the sake of the country, the minister implores the emperor to order the imperial concubines to stop teaching, revoke the women's college, and from now on, women are not allowed to study!" ”

After Song Yushi finished speaking, several more Yushi stood up and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Then more and more ministers stood up and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

In the end, only a few cabinet elders and Cai Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not open their mouths to second.

But Song Yushi didn't plan to let go of these people, and couldn't help but ask a few people: "I don't know how many pavilion elders and Cai Shangshu want?" ”

was commanded by Song Yushi, Xun Yu reluctantly stood up and said: "Minister, second!" ”

In fact, Xun Yu himself didn't agree with this matter, but Xun Yu didn't want to go against the emperor in this matter.

But now that he has been named, Xun Yu has to second.

If he doesn't second, he won't have to mix in the civil service group in the future.

After Xun Yu, several cabinet elders chose to second.

The last to stand up was Cai Yong, he didn't dare to look at Lu Bu's face at all, bowed his head and said, "Minister, second!" ”

I've got a big groove!

In the end, even my father-in-law betrayed me?

In this matter, I am really a betrayal!

At this moment, Lu Bu couldn't wait to order the guards to drag Cai Yong out and cut him down.

Unexpectedly, all the civil officials were closely united and resisted the emperor together.

Seeing this scene, Song Yushi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said loudly: "Please ask the emperor to conform to the will of the people!" ”

The others also shouted: "Please the emperor obeys the will of the people!" ”

Listening to the voice of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Lu Bu felt particularly harsh, and for a while he only felt upset and angry.

I can't wait to pull these people down and cut them down.

Is it really that hard to carry out reforms in this day and age?

It's like dropping a drop of water into the Sahara Desert and it doesn't change anything at all.

At this moment, Lu Bu even had a feeling of despair.

"Please ask the emperor to conform to the will of the people!"

Well?

It's endless, isn't it?

Just when Lu Bu was about to get angry, he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Lu Bu couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "Conform to the will of the people, conform to the will of the people, just rely on you, can you represent the will of the people?" ”

Song Yushi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the duty of our imperial history is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people!" We, naturally, can represent the hearts of the people! ”

Huo, are you using my words to provoke me?

If you say so, I'll take you to the army!

"Well, since you say that I want to conform to the will of the people, then I will listen to you! But you can't represent the people's hearts, right? Since we want to conform to the will of the people, let all the people of Dahua participate! ”

"From today onwards, a public opinion poll will be conducted in the entire Dahua, and if more than half of the people agree, then women can become teachers and go to school in the future! If less than half, the system will be abolished! I will comply with the will of the people. ”

"In this investigation, all magistrates fully cooperated, and it was strictly forbidden to falsify! I will send someone to oversee it, and if anyone dares to deceive, I will be killed! No matter who is involved, there will be no forgiveness! ”

Listening to Lu Bu's words, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but look at each other, and they were speechless for a while.

Is that what it means to conform to the will of the people?

Something seems to be wrong.

But they couldn't refute it.

You say that it conforms to the will of the people, and now that I have let the people of the whole country participate, do you dare to say that it is not conforming to the will of the people?

And once the whole country is involved, will the final result be the same as they expected?

All the civil officials have a faint feeling of being bad.

Their civilian-official clique united to force the emperor, but now the emperor is uniting the people of the whole country and is ready to crush them!
