Why did Mencius say, "If Wang knew this, people would be more hopeless than their neighbors"?

This conversation was caused by Liang Dui's "suspicion". Liang thought that he had been "dedicating" to governing the country, and his "dedication" was embodied in "Hanoi is fierce, so he moved people to Hedong and millet to Hanoi; Hedong is also fierce. " Although the politics of neighboring countries are not as "concerned" as he is, the result is disappointing: "The people in neighboring countries are not less, but the people in my country are not more."

Liang was ambitious, and the measures he took were to increase the number of soldiers and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army in order to achieve his political goal of winning the world.

Mencius knew him very well and soon said, "Wang is belligerent." He hit the nail on the head and exposed Liang's so-called "immigrants move millet" lie. Please use the metaphor of war. Mencius did not directly answer the reason why Liang was "short of people", but used the war metaphor that Liang was familiar with. Obviously, the story of "pot calling the kettle black" set by Mencius has rich metaphors. Therefore, the spear of the son attacked the shield, which was given special significance. In other words, there is no essential difference between Liang's so-called "dedication" and "neighboring politics", but only the difference in form and quantity. This also implies the root cause of "people are not living well". "I don't want more people than neighboring countries", which is a necessity.
