Chapter 145: Gossip Stories from History

Third, according to historical records, Wang Mang issued a shocking order during his reign: dissecting human bodies! His purpose was to allow doctors at the Imperial Hospital and officials in charge of the pharmacy to delve deeply into the mysteries of the human body, particularly the functions of the internal organs and blood vessels.

Wang Mang declared that through such research, we can better overcome disease problems and benefit the people.

In ancient times, people were deeply bound by the traditional concept that "the body and hair are inherited from parents and should not be damaged." Even in the face of death, the body should be kept as intact as possible to show respect and filial piety to parents.

Therefore, under such ingrained ideas, Wang Mang dared to become the first person to conduct human dissection experiments. This behavior was quite bold and advanced at the time, and was equivalent to being unrighteous and immoral.

Fourth, even more shockingly, Wang Mang also set about establishing state-owned enterprises and implementing planned economic policies in an attempt to completely eliminate the existence of private ownership.

"Five Equalities Market Envoys" were set up in six major cities to specifically supervise and assess market prices, and the government carried out unified macro-control to ensure stable and reasonable prices.

Its core goal is to prevent businessmen from manipulating the market by leveraging their own advantages and over-concentrating wealth and power, thereby effectively narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor and achieving equality for all.

[Once, Wang Mang's second son killed a family slave. You know, this kind of thing was not a earth-shattering event in that era. After all, in the feudal society, slaves were not treated as human beings at all.

Normally, when encountering such a thing, the host would at most pay some money as compensation and let the matter go. At worst, he would just scold his son severely.

But who could have imagined that Wang Mang's actions would be so shocking! He actually ordered his own son to commit suicide to atone for his crime without hesitation, insisting on using one life to pay for another.

Fifth, let's talk about Wang Mang, a man of noble birth, a true descendant of the aristocracy. However, no matter how high his official position, he always remained extremely frugal, even to the point of spending all his wealth to help the poor.

He also hated capitalists, abolished slavery, nationalized all land resources, and then distributed the land equally to the common people for cultivation. He also explicitly prohibited the sale and mortgage of land.

The sixth point, and also the most amazing one, is that after Wang Mang completely took control of the court power, he seemed to be able to predict the future and sent his men early to hunt down Liu Xiu, who would overthrow the rule of the Xin Dynasty in the future.

Moreover, he issued an order to hunt down all people named Liu Xiu throughout the country, and to ruthlessly kill all those who were found and called Liu Xiu.

But what is even more unexpected is that Liu Xiu, who eventually succeeded in establishing the Eastern Han regime, was actually 40 years younger than Wang Mang! He was lucky enough to escape the pursuit.

During the famous Battle of Kunyang, there's a mysterious legend about a meteorite landing. It's said that the night before the fierce battle, the Xin Dynasty's army was struck by a meteorite in their camp. This sudden natural disaster severely damaged the Xin Dynasty's forces, leaving them severely weakened. Ultimately, Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang's 2 troops with only 42 men.

"Wife, don't you think this is the legendary story of how Wang Mang, who seemed to have traveled through time, ultimately failed to defeat Liu Xiu, known as the 'Son of the Planes'?" After the story was finished, Wang Yiming still looked excited.

"What is it? This statement has no theoretical basis at all." Lu Wanwan denied the story of another time traveler in front of a time traveler.

"That's true. History itself is a mystery and difficult to grasp."

Lu Wanwan nodded slightly in agreement, "Well, you are also a mystery."

"No, I'm just a nobody in front of you." Xiao Ming is very self-aware and he can't help but expose himself.

"In fact, the ancients were much smarter than us!" Lu Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, revealing a hint of admiration.

Wang Yiming, standing nearby, quickly agreed, "That's right! I once saw a photo of the Ming Dynasty's top-ranking exam paper. It was terrifying. Not to mention the content, just the handwriting alone – there wasn't even a single typo or erasure in the entire paper. It was simply perfect! With the advancement of technology, we don't have to memorize or remember many things anymore, so our brains are starting to degenerate."

"Every gain has its own trade-off, but in comparison, there is more time and space to learn and develop other abilities." Lu Wanwan seemed thoughtful.

Suddenly, Wang Yiming changed the subject, "Yes, just like in the book Journey to the West, we are thinking about why it was Sun Wukong who went to obtain Buddhist scriptures instead of Nezha."

Hearing this, Lu Wanwan immediately became interested. She sat up straight and approached Wang Yiming with curiosity.

"Why? Tell me."

However, Wang Yiming smiled slyly, deliberately keeping Lu Wanwan in suspense, and said, "My battery is exhausted and I need to replenish my energy. If you kiss me, I will tell you."

Lu Wanwan blushed slightly. "I don't want to hear it anymore. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Get out of here. I want to sleep."

After saying that, she quickly turned around, covered her head with the quilt, pretended to be angry and ignored Wang Yiming.

Wang Yiming quickly reached out and gently patted Lu Wanwan's shoulder, "Dinner is almost time, you can't sleep."

Lu Wanwan didn't appreciate it at all and responded sullenly, "I'm not eating anymore. I'm trying to lose weight."

...Wang Yiming quickly admitted his mistake,

"My dear wife, I was wrong. Why are you still angry?"

Pregnancy is not a good time to be teased. Lu Wanwan also knew that she and Wang Yiming had been having more quarrels recently, but the two of them were willing to fight and be beaten, and they were both quite happy.

Faced with the apology, Lu Wanwan remained unmoved, "You're right, I just want to sleep."

"Wrong, wrong, I'll tell you right away."

Wang Yiming stopped "holding on", and Lu Wanwan got angry and said, "I don't want to listen anymore, you can talk about it or not."

What to do? Hurry up and talk to yourself!
