Politically, the parallel system of counties and countries was implemented in the early Han Dynasty, but in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, in order to weaken the strength of various countries, the "favor decree" was promulgated, which strengthened the political system of consolidating the central government.
The economic measures taken by the Han Dynasty to consolidate its rule;
1, attaching importance to agriculture and restraining business, taking agriculture as the foundation: In the early Western Han Dynasty, the agricultural economy of the whole country was in an impenetrable state because the Qin Dynasty had just experienced war. At that time, the population dropped from 20 million to 8 million, resulting in a serious loss of labor and no land for cultivation. In order to reunite farmers with the land, Emperor Gaozu took some measures to return the labor force to agricultural production, which played a very important role in the recovery of agricultural production.
2. Rest and recuperation: The tax abolition measures have promoted the development of agriculture. At that time, these policies failed to spread to all countries because the war was not over yet. However, the area under Liu Bang's jurisdiction is implemented, and other areas remain unchanged. It was not until the overall situation of the Han Dynasty was settled that the tax rate was fully promoted.
3. Advocating frugality and forbidding it by law: When Liu Bang dominated the Han and Yuan emperors for ten years, there were "three chapters about the law" to prevent people in the army from killing innocent people and robbing the people. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, looking at the country's economic difficulties, Liu Bang took some measures to reduce the people's financial burden and stabilize the people's hearts.
