Let me ask you, when Wang Mang's economic policy was announced.
Will those nobles and local tyrants, as well as the five equal officials set up by Wang Mang, abide by Wang Mang's policy?
Wang Mang asked them to buy grain at a high price and then sell it at a fair price. What if these people don't listen?
What if they have to operate in reverse?
Wang Mang wants to collect taxes, so what if these people pass all the taxes on to the farmers?
Don't tell me that these nobles and local tyrants don't even understand this? "
…………
Even Chongzhen nodded at this moment.
Self-hanging southeast branch:
"All fools know that they can make huge profits by buying grain at a low price during a good harvest and selling it at a high price during a famine."
"The imperial court has also issued repeated orders, prohibiting these grain merchants to stir up grain prices."
"But who can stop it?"
"Does Wang Mang have this strength?"
"Didn't he want to practice kingship and rule the country? Didn't he want to follow Confucianism and rule?"
"Why can he stop nobles and local tyrants from doing this?"
………………
Liu Bang bared his teeth and smiled, looking at Wang Mang with disdain.
Just look at your bad behavior, you have usurped the country of our old Liu family, and you still want to use our old Liu family's policies.
Did you roll over in the end?
Not everyone who kills the white snake is Xu Xian (Sage Monarch of Deception):
"Big boa constrictor, what do you think?"
"Stop beeping this time!"
"Just how do you solve this practical problem?"
"You won't tell me that these great nobles and local tyrants are all as noble as Confucius!"
………………
Wang Mang wanted to say that at first, but Liu Bang directly let the words go back to his stomach.
If he really said that, he would probably be called a dog.
But Wang Mang was very unwilling.
First traverser:
"What if the character of these nobles and local tyrants is not credible?"
"Then how did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ensure the implementation of the policy?"
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented this economic policy. Could it be said that those nobles and local tyrants would allow him to do so?"
"During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did these people listen to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty like this?"
"If it was possible in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I think the nobles and local tyrants could also do it in the period of Wang Mang!"
………………
Zhu Di's face darkened, he was playing shameless.
Wang Mang didn't respond positively, didn't prove that he could do it, but instead dragged Emperor Wu of Han into the water, this is a sign of incompetence!
But Zhu Di had no way to refute Wang Mang's words at this moment.
For a while, I scratched my ears and scratched my cheeks anxiously.
………………
Li Shimin also frowned in thought, what Wang Mang said made sense.
Economic policy will not cause nobles and local tyrants to adopt different attitudes just because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the rule of legalism, while Wang Mang implemented the rule of Confucianism.
After all, the greed of human nature is exactly the same at any time.
Qiangu Li Er (the hero and the sinner):
"That's really a problem."
"I don't believe how high the consciousness of these nobles and tyrants could be during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"If there is a problem with Wang Mang's policy, how can there be no problem with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"
…………
The corner of Chen Tong's mouth curled up, waiting for you to ask.
Chen Tong:
"That's the crux of the matter.
When implementing this economic strategy, you must also have a supplementary system.
And this supplementary system is the most critical link, it can ensure that the economic system of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be perfectly implemented.
And this system was criticized by Confucianism.
That is a system that every talented emperor must adopt, and it is called: cruel official system!
Do you understand now? "
………………
Li Shimin's pupils shrank suddenly.
He understood now.
It turns out that the cruel official system is for this kind of thing.
At this moment, he finally understood how big the gap was between himself and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Without cruel officials, it would be impossible for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to issue policies from the central government to the local governments.
Without cruel officials, it would be impossible for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to cut flesh from those nobles and local tyrants one after another.
………………
At this moment, Zhu Di's eyes were full of excitement, he seemed to understand a lot of things, and connected some things that originally existed in his mind together.
Execute Your Ten Clans (Hero Lord of the Prosperous Age):
"There was a system of cruel officials during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!"
"There was a system of cruel officials during Wu Zetian's time!"
"Emperor Hongwu brought the cruel official system to its peak."
"Why do Confucians hate this system so much?"
"That's because this cruel official system is mainly aimed at the dignitaries of the entire dynasty."
"Only these dignitaries dare to use their power to deceive the superior and the inferior."
"I understand it all now."
"If you don't implement the cruel official system, then don't let your policies reach the localities. In the end, all policies can only become dead letters."
"Even being manipulated by those nobles and tyrants who have become anti-routines."
........................
At this moment, Wu Zetian's beautiful eyes were full of pride.
Heart of the Illusory Sea (Eternal Emperor, World Overlord):
"When those Confucianists criticize the emperor, they always say that the emperor adopted cruel officials."
"But these people will never mention, what is the role of cruel officials?"
"During the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the cruel officials mainly did three things: check the assets of all dignitaries and collect property taxes!"
"Crack down on price gouging, hoarding, and ensure the implementation of economic policies."
"The last task is to crack down on local tyrants annexing land and not allowing them to transfer taxes to the bottom."
"Which one is not beneficial to the country and the people?"
"But why does Confucianism criticize so much? Whenever cruel officials are mentioned, they say that the emperor is cruel and heartless."
"Isn't it because the cruel officials mainly target this group of scholars?"
"With the existence of cruel officials, can these scholars form cliques for personal gain?"
"With the existence of cruel officials, can these scholars rely on their power to annex the land?"
"With the existence of cruel officials, how can these scholars still hoard and drive up prices?"
"Those industrial chains behind them will be shattered by the cruel official system, and they will be left impoverished in the end!"
"That's why Confucianism hates cruel officials so much."
"But if there are no cruel officials, who can guarantee that the officials will not form cliques for personal gain? Who can guarantee that the emperor's policies will reach the localities?"
"Who can guarantee the interests of the people at the bottom?"
"The history books only record how ruthless the cruel officials killed people!"
"But why didn't it record: When the cruel officials killed these corrupt officials and local tyrants, how did the common people applaud?"
"Do you know how many people will cry with joy to eradicate a local bully?"
…………
At this moment, Chongzhen felt as if his head had been kicked by a donkey. He felt that he was so stupid!
Because he was fooled by Wen Chen, he actually wanted to disband Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory.
Chongzhen knelt on the ground with a thud, and then directly slapped his face from left to right, and slapped him more than a dozen times.
