"To reduce corvee service, the early Han Dynasty implemented a prudent civilian recruitment system, shortened the service time, and stipulated that service should begin at the age of 23 and exempted from service at the age of 56, and money was also allowed to be used in lieu of service."

"Taxation was thin, and Liu Bang established the total national taxation based on official salaries and government expenditures."

"For example, land rent, that is, land tax, is levied at a rate of fifteen tax one (1/15), and oral tax, also called suanfu, is a population tax, which is 120 yuan per person per year."

"Save money. In the early Han Dynasty, frugality had a positive effect on restoring production, and even Liu Bang was no exception."

"In the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang saw that the Weiyang Palace that Xiao He was responsible for building was too "magnificent", so he blamed Xiao He and said: "The Huns in the world have toiled for several years, and their success or failure is unknown. How can we manage the palace excessively?"

"It should be said that Liu Bang's world was based on "people" and made policies."

Yu Wenhu: Use your prestige to attract counselors and generals to follow you instead of using force to achieve your goals. Therefore, it is also correct for the Han Dynasty to implement rule by doing nothing, which promotes the harmonious life of the people in society and lives and works in peace and contentment. This ability and this decision-making are not What a common man can do.

Li Shimin: Based on the "people" and the oppression of the Qin Dynasty, the people will only move closer to Liu Bang. The Qin Dynasty had strict criminal laws, cruel tyranny, and continuous social conflicts. The people were oppressed and miserable. It aroused the dissatisfaction of many farmers, otherwise they would not have launched a peasant uprising. However, the Han Dynasty complied with public opinion, changed the national governance strategy, and decided to rest with the people, thus changing the lives of the people.

This promoted the economic prosperity and development of the Han Dynasty. The treasury was full and the food was sufficient, which provided the material foundation for the subsequent fight against the Xiongnu."

"It turned out that the people who were oppressed by the Qin Dynasty were liberated. The Han Dynasty's policy of inaction reduced the tax burden on the people. Taoist Huang-Lao thought was the foundation of the Han Dynasty. The rule of Wenjing was that the Han Dynasty's inaction policy was the best. The emperor's abiding by the rules and the quality of being diligent and frugal are also a good example formed by the system of rule by doing nothing."

"Although it is "people"-oriented, it also needs to develop politically and militarily."

"Liu Bang advocated Confucianism politically and founded Taixue to cultivate talents and strengthen education." "Taixue is regarded as one of the earliest official institutions of learning in ancient times. It is located in the capital and recruits a certain number of students every year to cultivate They become worthy men to serve the country.”

"He believes that Confucianism has strong moral principles and social norms that can guide people to be stable, hard-working, and law-abiding."

"The Taixue he established cultivates Confucian talents and can effectively select talented people for official positions."

"Through these measures, Liu Bang promoted Confucianism and consolidated his dominance. At the same time, it also had a profound impact on later history."

"Because he supported literary creation and valued cultural education, he appointed Zhang Liang to be in charge of Taixue, and appointed Zhang Liang's friend Sima Qian as a doctor of Taixue."

"With Liu Bang's support, Sima Qian completed the writing of the history book "Historical Records". In addition, Liu Bang also paid attention and appreciation to other literary works, such as the "Collection of Yuefu Poems" and other literary works that were produced under his rule."

"His actions have had a positive impact on the inheritance and development of ancient culture."

"The protection of cultural heritage is also an important measure of Liu Bang."

"After he unified the world, cultural relics and monuments in many places had fallen into disrepair and were seriously damaged. Liu Bang ordered restoration and restoration to protect cultural heritage."

"He also ordered the compilation of the Book of Fengchan, which detailed how each emperor should preside over the Fengchan ceremony and how he should treat the princes politely."

"Not to mention talents, Liu Bang also has certain achievements in managing officials."

"He implemented a loose talent policy and gave great importance to those who surrendered and surrendered, especially talented people."

"At the same time, he also attaches great importance to the integrity and self-discipline of officials, strengthens supervision of officials, and stipulates strict official tenure and inspection systems to prevent officials from abusing their power and corruption."

"Liu Bang once said: "It's not that I can't use people, but I don't want to use people who are unfilial. "
