1, disarmament and demobilization:

All retired officers and soldiers who return to agriculture should be allocated farmland houses or exempted from corvee for several years according to their military achievements. Liu Bang encouraged soldiers to return to their hometowns for production, which not only reduced the burden on the country, but also increased the social labor force and promoted economic recovery and development.

2. Persuade people to return home:

Those who fled to Shanze because of the war returned to their hometown to get their original farmland houses, while those who fled to Shanze because of the war did not register their household registration, so they returned to their county, registered their household registration and restored their original farmland houses. This has increased the social labor force, increased the number of taxpayers, increased the national fiscal revenue and promoted economic development.

3. Release slaves for the people:

Because of hunger, slaves were released to civilians, which improved their enthusiasm for production and increased the social labor force.

Second, the role of rest:

① Consolidate the rule of the Western Han Dynasty;

(2) promoting economic development;

③ Consolidate the foundation.

At the beginning of Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, took measures to recuperate. His successors, Wendi and Jingdi, inherited the established policies of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, continued to implement a series of recuperation policies to govern the country, and further developed social production. Historically, the prosperity during the reign of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi was called "the rule of Wenjing".

Extended data:

1, Introduction to Wenjing Governance:

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, due to years of war and social and economic depression, the Han court greatly appreciated Huang Lao's ruling skills and adopted the policy of "being frivolous" and "sharing interests with the people".

In the second and twelfth years of Emperor Wendi's reign, he "exempted half of the land rent" twice, and in the thirteenth year of Emperor Wendi's reign, he also completely exempted the land rent. At the same time, it is not easy to send troops to neighboring hostile countries to maintain peace, so as not to consume national strength. This is a frivolous and generous policy.

Emperor Wen of Han lived a frugal life. There were no clothes in the palace, clothes were not mopped, and cars were not added. The curtains are not embroidered, and it is forbidden to contribute exotic things in the county. Therefore, the expenditure of the state was restrained, and the aristocratic bureaucrats dared not be extravagant, thus reducing the burden on the people.

Emperor Wenjing also attached great importance to agriculture, and ordered many times to persuade farmers to teach mulberry, and set up a number of people, such as Sanlao, Filial Piety and Tian Li, according to the proportion of registered permanent residence, and rewarded them to encourage farmers to produce. Reward hard-working farmers and persuade officials to care about agriculture and mulberry trees. Every spring, they personally go to the fields to set an example for the people.

During the Wenjing period, we paid attention to "educating the people with morality". At that time, the society was relatively stable and the people were rich. By the end of Emperor Jingdi's reign, the granary of the country was full, and a large amount of copper coins in the treasury were not used for many years, so that the rope for wearing money was rotten, and the scattered money was countless.

With the recovery and rapid development of production, there has been a stable and prosperous scene that has not been seen for many years. The people's living standards have been greatly improved, and the material foundation of the Han Dynasty has also been greatly enhanced. This is the first prosperous time after Chinese civilization entered the imperial era.

The rule of Wenjing is not only a great era of rapid economic and cultural development in the history of China, but also a period of saving energy for the later conquest of Xiongnu by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

2. The idea of inaction

At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Empire, people used their dissatisfaction with the incomplete legal system of the Qin Dynasty to conform to public opinion and carry out political reforms. In order to recuperate with the people, he adopted the ruling thought of doing nothing, which is the first time that Taoist thought has entered the room.

The original intention of governing by doing nothing is not inaction, but excessive intervention, giving full play to the people's self-initiative and being suitable for rulers. The core of Confucianism is moral norms, which tend to be reckless and suitable for everyone.

Inaction politics seems to have a negative and conservative tendency, but it reveals the spirit of scientific objectivism from another angle. This kind of policy emphasizes that we should not act rashly in administration, and there are few emergency measures to avoid tyranny disturbing the people, so that social life can be stable under natural conditions. This political style is conducive to social stability and economic progress to a certain extent.

The Wenjing period continued the idea of governing by doing nothing in the early Han Dynasty, and all political measures were actually carried out around the idea of governing by doing nothing, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty gradually recovered.

The relatively broad political atmosphere in Wenjing era was conducive to social and economic development and cultural progress at that time. "History of Food Goods in Han Dynasty" said that "Emperor Wen ascended the throne and bowed to protect the people", which was of great significance to the economic recovery and development at that time.
