"With the advent of economic chaos, the unemployment rate in the entire society has increased. Money cannot be used and goods cannot be sold. The poor have no choice but to revolt in order to survive. The rich also began to oppose Wang Mang in order to protect their private property."

"In addition, Wang Mang also carried out industrial and commercial reforms, changing orders day and night, which further intensified social unrest."

"In terms of foreign relations, Wang Mang always likes to make trouble."

"Emperors in ancient times wanted to dominate the world, and Wang Mang was no exception. In order to conquer the world, he recruited a total of 30 men, death row prisoners, and slaves from all over the world to use troops against the Xiongnu and established Xihai County in Qinghai."

"You must know that at that time, the Xiongnu, the countries in the Western Regions, and even Goguryeo and the southwest countries were all surrendered to the Han Dynasty, but Wang Mang was not satisfied with this. He arbitrarily demoted the leaders of these small countries from "kings" to "hous" , to demonstrate the authority of the new dynasty, not only that, he also took the initiative to stir up trouble and use troops against small countries that did not surrender."

"Wang Mang's wanton behavior caused the surrounding countries to refuse to surrender to the new dynasty. The unprovoked war trapped hundreds of thousands of troops in the border areas for a long time, and used countless human and financial resources."

"In order to enrich Xihai County, Wang Mang immigrated a large number of criminals here, laying the foundation for internal and external troubles."

"When Wang Mang first came to power, he rewarded his cronies lavishly. In order to secure his monopoly, he suppressed the Liu clan in the Western Han Dynasty and deposed dozens of princes and kings and more than a hundred princes."

"At this point, the Western Han Dynasty clan completely drew a clear line with Wang Mang, which laid the foundation for the Liu clan to rebel against Wang Mang in the future."

"The New Deal and a series of governance measures implemented by Wang Mang have angered people from all walks of life. The storm is about to come, and Wang Mang's rule is beginning to be in crisis."

"In 16 AD, Fan Chong, a native of Langya, Shandong, led an uprising. The following year, a famine occurred in Jingzhou. The hungry people gathered into several rebel armies and besieged Qingxu Prefecture."

"Wang Mang hurriedly sent General Jing Shang to suppress it. In the end, Jing Shang died in the battle. The fire of uprising quickly spread across the country, and Wang Mang felt at a loss."

"In the winter of 23 AD, the rebel army captured Chang'an City. Wang Mang ran to Jiantai and was hacked to death by businessman Du Wu."

"Du Wu didn't know at the time that he was killing Wang Mang, the emperor of the new dynasty. He handed Wang Mang's ribbon to the school captain Gongsun Bin. Gongsun Bin immediately recognized Wang Mang and took a look at Wang Mang's head."

"Others heard that this was Wang Mang's body, and they all came forward and chopped Wang Mang into pieces."

"Wang Mang's head was sent to Wancheng and presented to Emperor Gengshi. The common people played football games with Wang Mang's head. Some people even cut off Wang Mang's tongue and ate it alive in order to vent their anger."

"After Wang Mang established the new dynasty, he served as emperor for 15 years."

"In the past 15 years, he ambitiously implemented the New Deal, used troops abroad to find trouble, unscrupulously demoted the Han clan, and put down the uprising with mental and physical exhaustion."

"In addition, Wang Mang is a nationalist and idealist with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"During his 15 years in power, he proved with practical actions that nationalists and idealists with obsessive-compulsive disorder can never be emperor! It is easy to run wild on the road to death!" "October 23, 10 AD , Wang Mang was killed by the Green Forest Army at the age of 6. The angry people kicked his head like a ball, and some even ate his tongue. Wang Mang’s head was preserved for 67 years, and was eventually burned by fire in Luoyang.”

Di Renjie: Before he became emperor, Wang Mang had a reputation for being humble. After usurping the Han Dynasty, although Wang Mang realized that farmers were the backbone of the new dynasty, he also saw the social roots of land annexation and farmers becoming slaves. He also felt that This was followed by the New Deal, which was originally intended to provide farmers with the means of living and thereby consolidate the new regime. However, due to improper measures, the peasants revolted, which was unexpected!

Liu Heng: Wang Mang’s New Deal chose the wrong person to rely on. He was a representative of the landlord class, but he abandoned the landlord class. This was not feasible at the time. This should be the root of his ultimate failure!

Liu Xiu: So, Wang Mang was a failed reformer. His New Deal was too far out of touch with reality and was simply not feasible at the time.

Li Longji: It’s a bit scary. What if this is not an ideal, but a policy that has happened?Is this achievable?

Cao Cao: I am a seven-foot tall man, don’t even think about scaring me!

Qin Shihuang: There really are immortals in this world, right?Wang Mang, are you?Your identity is so questionable!

Wang Mang: How is that possible? I am just an ordinary person. You are too superstitious. Doesn’t immortality mean there is no God in the world?
“The land is returned to the state and the land equalization system is divided based on population. In this aspect, it is similar to the land reform that distributes land to each household.”

"The state monopolizes wine, salt, and iron, and relies on state means to stabilize the grain and cloth markets. This is nothing new. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had proposed it before, but it was Wang Mang who really implemented it on a large scale."

"Strictly demanding that officials make all judgments based on national laws. In order to demonstrate the authority of the law, he even forced his three sons, a grandson, and a nephew to commit suicide."

"Reducing the fineness of the currency allows the country to obtain more gold, and the higher the denomination of the currency, the lower the fineness of the currency. It is used to reduce the impact of the policy on low-income people. This is simply a modern monetary policy."

"There are also business taxes levied on craftsmen and skilled workers based on their income. If you look at the policy you implemented, it is completely inappropriate for the dynasty at that time, but this policy is true in modern times."

"There are too many historical coincidences, and the one that's a little scary is the bronze caliper."

"You invented it yourself. We only learned about this after it was unearthed. Before this thing was unearthed, we used to think that the vernier caliper was invented by Westerners. Now that we see this, there is a question mark as to who invented it. No matter what the situation , you are indeed questionable."

"All policies are too advanced, and they are completely utopian. These policies are indeed good, but they are not suitable for the dynasty at that time. Then the policies you think of will arouse doubts that they are the world you originally lived in. There are policies, but you only give orders and don't think about whether they are appropriate or not. However, these are all my conjectures. If you don't admit it, we can only think that you just don't understand the policy."

"Because of your policies, uprising armies have been set off all over the world. The gears of fate are turning. At this time, another lucky person has stepped onto the stage step by step, and the history that was led astray by Wang Mang will eventually be He pulled me back to the original track with one hand."

"He is Liu Xiu. He was born when Wang Mang returned to Beijing after he was deposed. He also had a life of cheating. The Queen also talked about it a lot in the early days."
