The rule of Wenjing
Due to the Peasant War at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the four-year conflict between Chu and Han, social unrest and severe economic damage caused social and economic poverty in the early Western Han Dynasty.It is recorded in the history books that the people were unable to produce on the fields, there was famine everywhere, cannibalism occurred, and more than half of the people died.
At that time, even the emperor could not ride in a carriage drawn by four horses of the same color, and the generals and ministers could only ride in an ox-cart.Faced with this situation, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, adopted a loose policy of recuperation to govern the world, demobilized soldiers and returned home, exempted them from corvee service, focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, and restored the dilapidated social economy.Stabilizing the feudal ruling order and restoring and developing the social economy of the autocratic monarchy have become top priorities to consolidate rule.
