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

"This "single tax" should be described as simple, crude and effective."

"Every time a dynasty changes, there will almost always be an overt or covert war, and this will also cause a large number of people to die. Especially a battle involving overt and cold weapons will make a country The population has been greatly reduced.”

"In Liu Bang's dynasty, we all know that Liu Bang was a person who climbed from the bottom to the throne. Before he ascended the throne, he also experienced many large and small battles. Therefore,

When he ascended the throne, the country's population was very small, especially the number of men, because almost all men died in the war, and the number was huge. "

"But in that era when men were the dominant force, if a country wanted to develop well, it must have a labor force, and men were the main labor force."

"So every time an emperor ascends the throne, he will think of ways to increase the country's labor force. Each emperor's method is different, but the simplest, crudest and most effective strategy is Liu Bang's."

"When he first came to power, like other emperors, he wanted to increase the country's labor force."

"So he issued a decree that if a woman is not married when she reaches the age of marriage, she will be taxed."

"And this tax amount is very large. It is difficult for ordinary families to bear such a tax, because the tax amount is enough for them to live for a year."

"So, every time when women in the folk reach the age of marriage, that is, around 15 years old, their parents are eager to marry them off. They don't care about the man's family background, his character, or whether he is a wife or a concubine. They just have to get out because they can't afford that kind of tax."

"And women had no status at that time, and now they don't want to add a burden to the family, so they obey their parents' arrangements and get married early, even if the other person may not be very good."

"And this policy quickly showed results. Within a few years, the country's population increased several times, meeting Liu Bang's expectations."

"However, although this policy has increased the population, guaranteed the country's labor force, and satisfied many men, it has made women miserable."

"Obviously they are still a child, but they have to live a better life for their family, then marry a random man, and then become a tool for giving birth to children. They had no status to speak of, but now they can't even live a good life for several years because of this policy. Not even a girl’s life.”

"And some women's parents spend all their time thinking about how to marry off their daughters in order not to pay this tax."

"" The woman in the family must be very sad when she thinks that her parents are eager to marry her off in order not to pay taxes, regardless of whether they can live a good life for the rest of their lives. "

"Regardless of whether the parents at home are as mentioned above, in the face of reality, women still have to marry because they cannot afford it."

"To put it another way, in such a society, women not only have no status, but are also used as money exchange tools. As long as they get married, they don't have to spend a lot of money to pay taxes."

"This is also very sympathetic. I am grateful that I live in a peaceful and civilized era, where everyone has the same status and women can support the sky. I am even glad that I was not born in such an era. The ancients Women are really pitiful."

Wu Zetian: Who wouldn’t want to? Miss Zhang, I envy you. I think even if I’m not the emperor, if I live in your era, I can accomplish something.

Dugu Jialuo: Who wouldn’t envy these women? Without the ancestral motto of “Three Obediences and Four Virtues” and without the constraints of “Don’t leave the door, don’t step forward at the second door”, women can also work and study. Who wouldn’t envy them?In the same way, I, Dugu Jialuo, was born in such an era and could still live a colorful life. Everyone said that I was a jealous woman, so who would want to serve a man with a group of women.

Qin Liangyu: Women are not inferior to men. If I were born in a peaceful era, I would like to be that female soldier. I want to be as heroic as them, without so many conspiracies. In front of the aliens, they have their righteousness and their pride!Xiaozhuang: Who doesn’t want to?But that is also an ideal, not a reality.

Liu Bang: I will immediately cancel the women's single tax, and there is another trouble!
Zhao Kuangyin: Can't you, Liu Bang, solve this trivial matter?

Lu Pheasant: Is it time to talk about my problem?
Guan Tao: We should really talk about Empress Lu. Gaozu’s rewards have been given out.

Dou Yifang: I don’t know if the Ai family can hear the comments about my Majesty and Qi’er. As the descendants of our great ancestor, their abilities are not bad at all.

Liu Xiu: This should be no problem. I have also talked about Wang Mang. Miss Zhang, can you tell me about it?

Liu Che: The emperors of our Han Dynasty are all top-notch. I think they are definitely not bad. There are a few in the late Eastern Han Dynasty who are a bit bad.

"If there is anything that is not allowed, you can talk about it. Some policies can also be used in other dynasties. These two emperors did a good job."

"Now we have to talk about the woman Queen Lu."

"In the eyes of the Han royal family, they feel that this woman is vicious. The Demon Queen is chaotic and superhuman. She is indeed the first woman to take charge of the government with full power, but we have to admit that she is very powerful."

"Lu Pheasant can use two words to describe this great woman, "desire and jealousy."

"Desire made her unwilling to be controlled by loneliness, so she racked her brains to make friends with and control men."

"Jealousy leads her to exact revenge on the woman she hates."

"She is ruthless and scheming. She relies on overt and covert fights and plays both sides to get to the top of her power step by step."

"She is the first woman in history who can exercise the power of the emperor - Lu Pheasant after the emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty."

"However, Lu Pheasant did not start out as such a person. She was also a good wife and mother, and fate gave her growth. It would be better to say that Liu Bang gave her growth."

"Although Lu Pheasant's family cannot be called prominent, it can be regarded as a prominent figure in the local area. Lu Pheasant's father, Lu Gong, saw Liu Bang's "bones were astonished" and looked like an emperor, so he sold himself to Liu Bang without taking any money. His daughter Lu Fei married the older, low-status and very poor Liu Bang."

"Like all young girls, Lu Zhi, a first-time wife, had an innocent vision for her future life, which was nothing more than being filial to her parents-in-law, having children, and having no worries about food and drink."

"Liu Bang at that time was, to put it bluntly, a local hooligan. He cheated and drank everywhere, and he was nowhere to be seen for three days without leaving his home."

"Only Lu Zhi takes care of the children and does housework at home. In order to protect her husband's face, Lu Zhi often secretly pays off her husband's debts."
