History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"Secondly, the State of Qi has always been the source of turmoil and rebellion. Although it is a state of etiquette, its folk customs are extremely fierce. Only the Liu family can guard Liu Bang to feel at ease."

"Finally, the last self-proclaimed King of Qi, Tian Heng, is still here!"

"If these two extremely "dangerous" people collude and collude, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, Han Xin must be removed from the mountain as a precaution."

"After solving and dealing with the issue of Han Xin's stay, Liu Bang began to grant amnesty to the world and prepare for his ascension to the throne."

"I won't say much later. After Liu Bang ascended the throne, because he went out to fight, Empress Lu killed Han Xin. It is impossible to know whether Liu Bang was responsible for this. Anyway, even if Liu Bang found out afterwards, he would be happy and solved it. It’s also a serious concern.”

"In 202 BC, Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor. The society at that time was in dire straits, and there was a desolate and broken scene everywhere. Among them were the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty, and there were also years of wars and killings. The economy was in decline, and people fled in large numbers. In the early Han Dynasty, The population was greatly reduced compared to Qin, and the war had just ended, so how to restore economic and social order became the primary issue."

"After years of war, the population of the Han Dynasty dropped sharply and the economy was in decline at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although Liu Bang inherited the Qin Dynasty's bureaucratic system, he did not follow the Qin Dynasty's Legalist ruling ideas. Instead, he absorbed the Taoist "rule by inaction" "The essence of the country has been integrated and sublimated to formulate a set of governance policies that are conducive to the stable development of social and economic development."

"The Han Dynasty at that time was not suitable for fighting at all when it was founded. The country was already riddled with holes. At that time, Liu Bang focused on Huang Lao's "recuperation" and launched policy reforms."

"The first thing Liu Bang has to solve is the problem of labor shortage."

"Release prisoners, return refugees to their hometowns, demobilize soldiers, emancipate slaves, encourage childbirth, adjust land, and develop the landlord economy."

"Refugees return to their hometowns. People who fled to Shanze due to the war return to their hometowns to receive their original land and houses. People who fled to Shanze and did not register their household registration during the war are ordered to return to their counties, register their household registration, and restore their original houses. This will increase It increases the social labor force, increases the number of people paying taxes, increases national fiscal revenue, and promotes economic development.”

"After the military is demobilized, all military officers and soldiers who retire and return to farming will be assigned fields and residences based on their military merits or be exempted from corvee service for a certain number of years."

"Liu Bang's encouragement of soldiers to return to their hometowns for production not only reduced the burden on the country, but also increased the social labor force and promoted economic recovery and development."

"The liberation of slaves and prisoners, the release of civilians who were sold into slavery due to hunger, and some criminals, increased their enthusiasm for production and increased the social labor force."

"To encourage childbirth, in the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu's reign, he issued an edict that "people should produce children" and be exempted from corvee labor for two years as a way of encouragement."

"The adoption of this policy made the population of the Han Empire gradually prosperous, and the population of the Western Han Dynasty reached a historical peak for the first time."

"After Liu Bang ascended the throne as emperor, he was left with a devastated country. This required the founding monarchs and ministers of the Western Han Dynasty not only to rebuild the country, but also to rebuild the confidence of the people of the Western Han Dynasty to stabilize the leader's rule."

"The harsh punishments during the Qin Dynasty made the people breathless. They had to be careful about everything they did and every word they said, otherwise they would be punished in various ways."

"Liu Bang abolished all the criminal laws of the Qin Dynasty. Everything should be as simple as possible. The three chapters of the agreement summarized that murderers must be put to death, those who hurt others must be punished, and thieves must also be convicted! Without the red tape of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang was loved by the majority of the people. welcome."

"Because Liu Bang has won the hearts of the people, he has no sense of distance from the people. In addition, he was originally a commoner with roots at the bottom, so this emperor is more like a small leader who enjoys himself with the people. When he went to court, ministers competed with each other for credit. On weekdays, They ate, drank, and had fun, and even called Liu Bang by his nickname. How could the country continue like this?" "Later, Liu Bang listened to Shusun Tong's advice, organized rehearsals of honor and inferiority etiquette, and built the Changle Palace. All the princes, kings and ministers came to pay homage to the emperor. , those who did not follow the rules were kicked out. Liu Bang’s father, Taigong Liu, also walked backwards when going to court to show respect for the monarch."

"After the completion of Changle Palace, Liu Bang officially transformed into a monarch of a centralized country. The next step was to re-establish the self-confidence of the people of the Western Han Dynasty."

"In order to mobilize farmers' enthusiasm for production, Liu Bang not only adopted a light corvee policy, but also mobilized farmers' enthusiasm through "conferring" and "restoring nobles."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't even afford food. If there are no benefits or policies, farmers will still make trouble."

"Moreover, due to years of war and famine, countless people fled to the mountains and rivers and lost their government household registration. Those who stayed behind were also impoverished."

"Liu Bang did this very well because he was a farmer and knew the sufferings of the people. Liu Bang also made adjustments to industrial and commercial policies and relaxed restrictions on private industry and commerce."

"In order to ensure that the people could have a stable environment to engage in production, Liu Bang adopted the "marriage" strategy, using the clan daughter as a princess to marry the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun, and gave the Xiongnu a large amount of wealth."

"In this way, the harassment of the Han Dynasty by the Xiongnu was greatly reduced, and the relationship between the Han and the Huns was temporarily peaceful."

"Speaking of the Xiongnu, Liu Bang fought with them in a battle, but was defeated and almost captured alive."

"When the country faces a crisis, the enemy will never stop attacking."

"The Western Han Dynasty ushered in the harassment of the Huns. While facing a serious social crisis, the Huns who were once expelled by Meng Tian from Qin Shihuang have now returned to the world. They live in the depths of the desert and have begun to covet this land that is not rich. "

"At this time, Modun Shanyu had unified the Xiongnu and controlled vast areas in the north and south of the desert. Taking advantage of the turmoil at the end of Qin, he regained control of the Hetao area and continued to harass the lives of the border people."

"In 201 BC, Mao Dun sent troops to besiege Mayi. King Xin of Han rebelled and Mao Dun attacked Jinyang. The following year, Liu Bang personally led an army of 30 to attack and regain Jinyang."

"But what is not optimistic is that the Han Dynasty experienced many years of chaotic wars, especially during the Chu-Han War, when the army's strength almost collapsed and the battles were exhausted."

"This war between Liu Bang and the Huns was historically known as the "Siege of Baideng". Liu Bang underestimated the enemy and unexpectedly acted in a desperate attempt to capture. Liu Bang's army was directly besieged by the Huns in Baideng for seven days and seven nights."

"If Chen Ping hadn't used a large amount of gold and silver to buy off Madam Maodun, I'm afraid Liu Bang would not have been able to escape."

"Fortunately, Chen Ping made a trick and bribed Chanyu Maodun's woman, so the Huns made way for him to escape."

"Imagine that one is a farming nation and the other is a nomadic nation. It is only the farming nation that suffers from the collision."
