another three years later
The emperor Wang Mang deposed the crown prince Liu Ying, and held a ceremony to enshrine the Han Dynasty, announcing that he would inherit the Han Dynasty and become the real emperor, and changed the name of the country to Xin (Xinduhou).
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
At this moment, the subjects of the great man have no memory of the great man. They are looking forward to the ruin of the extremely corrupt man day and night.
Today, the big man finally perished!
It's a great day to celebrate!
"Wang Mang is here! There will be a blue sky, and the world will be saved!"
"Wang Mang is here! There will be a blue sky, and the world will be saved!"
"Wang Mang is here! There will be a blue sky, and the world will be saved!"
On the streets of Chang'an, the people are looking forward to a better life in the future. They believe that the sage Wang Mang, who has been praised by the world for more than ten years, will surely lead them out of the current dire situation and lead them into the well-off Datong society that Confucius said.
When the people in the Kanto counties heard that Wang Mang finally usurped the throne, they all burst into tears. The big man who exploited them finally perished, and the sage Wang Mang finally became the emperor. The hard days are finally coming to an end, and the good days must be coming soon!
"The beautiful days of Emperor Xuan's time will definitely come back!" An old man who lived in his 60s looked forward to it. He believed that the sage Wang Mang would definitely lead them into Datong society.
During Emperor Xuan's time, he was only a teenager. He had no worries about food and clothing every day. The food was very cheap, no one was hungry, and the clothes were also very cheap. Everyone had clothes to wear. The tenancy of the tyrants was also very low, only the fourth floor , and some even only accept three floors, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.
But later, I don’t know why, the living standard is getting worse and worse, clothes are gradually becoming unaffordable, and food is gradually not enough to eat, so I can only drink porridge. Now I don’t even have to drink porridge, I can only drink tree Skin porridge, there are refugees everywhere. Every day, he is worried that the refugees will go to his home to rob. The imperial court issued an edict every year to provide disaster relief, but he has never seen the relief food. Occasionally, he saw it a few times, but found that it was full of sand. There is no food at all, and those officials talk about Confucius and Mencius every day, talk about the principles of Confucius and Mencius, and talk about benevolent government and love for the people, but they all eat fat heads and pig brains, and they talk about the principles of saints, but they are more ruthless than anyone else in making money. Even Haoqiang took the opportunity to increase the rent, and now the rent has changed back to the seventh floor.
People all over the world spontaneously hung red cloth strips at the door to celebrate Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne.
The great Han has exhausted their wealth for decades, which made them hate the Han Dynasty to the extreme. They applauded the destruction of the Great Han.
Poems praising Wang Mang spread all over the world, and people praising Wang Mang are everywhere. The existence of the big man is so disgusting that when it is destroyed, the people are very happy.
one year later
The second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China
With the expectation of all people, the democratically elected emperor Wang Mang started his second reform. This time the reform was more in-depth, which can be described as drastic.
Issue more types of currency and carry out currency reform.
Exempt from taxation of the five major surnames, namely Wang, Tian, Chen, Wei, and Yao. People with these five surnames do not have to pay taxes, because these five surnames are the surnames of the ancient sage king and his surname Wang Mang.
Change the private ownership of land to the well field system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, prohibit the sale of land, and prohibit the sale of slaves and maidservants.
Restore the prefectural pastor abolished by Emperor Liu Xin.
Continue to change more place names, all place names that only appeared in the Qin and Han Dynasties have been changed to Western Zhou style place names.
The names of all the official positions were also changed to those of the Western Zhou Dynasty, for example, the prefect was changed to Zuzheng.
Abolish the laws of the Han Dynasty, and rule the world with the rituals of Zhou.
The surrounding vassal states are not allowed to be called kings, and they are all downgraded to marquis, because this does not conform to the Zhou rituals. In the Zhou rituals, only the emperor can be called king.
These reforms by Wang Mang were all in the form, and did not change the substance. On the contrary, because of the random name change, people could not remember the new name and increased administrative costs.
Moreover, people with the five surnames do not have to pay taxes, causing people with other surnames to bear even greater tax pressure.
The only correction is to prohibit the sale of land and slaves.

"Please, sell me some grain." A starving man in the famine came to Wang's rice shop, hoping that Wang's family could sell him some grain at a low price.
"One thousand dollars and one stone!" The housekeeper of Mipu said indifferently.
"Ah?" The hungry people didn't expect that food is so expensive now. In the past, it only cost five yuan and one stone during Emperor Xuan's time, but now it costs one thousand yuan and one stone. The price of food has increased by two hundred times. Coins), said to the servants of the Wang family: "Is this okay? Just buy a little."
The servants of the Wang family took the dozen or so Wang Mang's new money, and then returned the Wang Mang's new money to the hungry people in disdain, and said to them: "Sorry, we only accept five baht, and we don't accept new money from the court."
"But this is the money that the court forcibly exchanged for me. My family originally had some five baht coins, but the court said that five baht coins did not conform to Zhou etiquette. Hiding five baht coins privately is a violation of Zhou etiquette. We will be sentenced to death. Let us people take away the five baht coins at home. The five baht money went to the government to be exchanged for new money, and we have no more five baht money now." The hungry man explained in despair.
"Then I don't care. Anyway, our Wang family's rice shop only charges five baht. You are so old, take the new money from the court to find other houses to buy grain, please don't delay our business here." The servant of the Wang family shook his head and told the hungry people Leave quickly, don't block the door and hinder him from doing business.
The hungry people had no choice but to take back the dozen or so new money and went to other rice shops run by powerful and wealthy merchants to buy grain.
Since the commercial tax was abolished in the Central Plains, the Wang family reopened rice shops, cloth shops, wine shops, etc. in Xu Township.
At this time, another middle class came to Wang's rice shop, and he took out a jade bracelet heirloom to buy grain.
"I'm here to buy some food. I don't have any money. Use jade bracelets. A jade bracelet is cheap and you can count two thousand yuan." The middle class said, he has been hungry for many days, and today he finally couldn't help but use the last bit of money to buy some rice Give it to your mother, don't let her starve to death.
"Food is one thousand yuan and one stone, and the jade bracelet can only be counted as five hundred yuan for you." The servant of the Wang family said.
"Isn't it still seven hundred yuan a stone last year?" The middle class was shocked: "And is jade so worthless now?"
"You also said that it was last year, now it is this year, this year is the same as last year, can it be the same?" the servant of the Wang family explained.
"Oh... let's buy a bucket of rice." The middle class had no choice but to reluctantly buy a bucket of rice.
Afterwards, the servants of the Wang family took out a lot of Wang Mang's new money, handed the Wang Mang's new money to the middle-class commoner and said with a smile, "This is your change."
"Can't you give me five baht in change?" The middle class didn't want Wang Mang's new money from the Daxin court, he wanted five baht.
However, at this time, the servants of the royal family actually began to abide by the law. He said seriously: "The court stipulates that the five baht coin is not in line with Zhou etiquette, so it is not allowed to be used. We have no choice, right? You can understand more, okay?" eh?"
"Okay, okay." The middle-class commoner had no choice but to take the new money Wang Mang gave him from the Wang Family Rice Shop and leave with the bucket of rice.
