Why did farmers in Qin dare not take Shang Yang in?

There are many people in the history of China, which can be summarized as "serving the country, not the body". They tried their best to be brave and diligent for the country, but did not consider their own retreat, and finally lost their lives, just like Shang Yang. Shang Yang deserves sympathy, but it is even more thought-provoking: political reform needs not only courage, but also wisdom.

Shang Yang was originally a patriotic person, who devoted himself to governing the country on the basis of "users" and made corresponding changes to society. Qin was not chosen at the beginning, but worked under Wei Xianggong's uncle CuO. Uncle CuO has a deeper understanding of Shang Yang's talent. When he was seriously ill, he recommended Shang Yang to Wei Huiwang to continue as the prime minister. Wei Huiwang thought the wrong uncle was confused and ignored it.

Later, Shang Yang moved to Qin, which coincided with Qin Xiaogong's hope to become a powerful country through political reform, but he was worried about the rebound of domestic nobles, so he pushed Shang Yang to the front desk. Shang Yang lived up to his great trust and began to promote political reform from all levels of society. There were two political reforms before and after, the main contents of which included abolishing Shi Qing's official system and conferring knighthood according to merit; Emphasizing agriculture and restraining business, taking agriculture as a business; Abolish the well field system, implement private ownership of land and allow free trading; Move the capital to Xianyang and build a palace; Meanwhile, people are encouraged to tell stories. If he is found outside the law and does not report it, he will be cut in half and so on.

The role of these policies is very obvious, which not only greatly enriched the grain strategic reserve of Qin State, but also made social activities orderly and enhanced cohesion. More importantly, conferring a title on the basis of military achievements gave ordinary foot soldiers the courage to struggle, which also promoted Qin Jun's combat effectiveness to an unprecedented height. The Emperor of Zhou was even more respectful to Qin Xiaogong, not to mention a vassal. Shang Yang also led troops to fight his old club Wei, which was awesome to the extreme!

The benefits were Qin's, but the hatred brought by the political reform was concentrated on Shang Yang alone. The nobles who were originally knighted are now desperate on the battlefield; A large amount of land originally acquired by virtue of birth has now become a commodity that can be traded freely. The old aristocrats hated Shang Yang and were bent on getting rid of it.

With Qin Xiaogong as the background, Shang Yang has nothing to worry about, but after all, Qin Xiaogong is dead and the end of Shang Yang is coming. In 338 BC, the monkey ascended the throne and became King Hui of Qin. The nobles felt that it was time for liquidation, so they reported Shang Yang to rebel. Seeing that the situation was not good, the merchants drove them away, hoping to sneak into the Wei border.

Shang Yang, who had been on the run, was hungry and tired, so he found an express hotel and wanted to rest for one night before continuing to escape. As a result, he didn't bring his ID card, and the owner refused to let him stay in the hotel after he was killed. He also told him: Lord Shang Yang made a law, and it is fatal for me to take in a guest like you without identification. Shang Yang tied himself in a cocoon and could only sigh: Shit, the law I made poisoned myself!

Shang Yang fled to Wei, but wei ren dared not take him in because he ruled Qin too much. Wei ren worried that after taking him in, the Qin people would send troops for revenge. In this way, in desperation, Shang Yang sneaked back to the State of Qin, and finally mobilized some of his troops in Shang Yang (Shang Yang's fief) to attack Zheng, hoping to have a chance to live. As a result, Qin Jun chased Shang Yang and brought his body back to the State of Qin, where he was dismembered!

The State of Qin killed Shang Yang, but almost all the systems of political reform remained, which shows that this is a typical "kick down the ladder".
