The policy of rest and recuperation means that after the great turmoil or long-term war, the rulers do not waste people's money and impose harsh laws, but adopt a policy of lenient punishment and thin taxes to safeguard people's strength and multiply population, so as to achieve the purpose of restoring and developing the economy and stabilizing their rule. Since Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, after several emperors (Hui Di, Lv Hou, Wendi and Jingdi), the policy of recuperation has been implemented for 60 or 70 years. The result is "all rivers run into the sea, and the national strength is considerable." Ban Gu said, "Han Xing, clean up your troubles and share the interest with the people; As for filial piety, it is a combination of courtesy and frugality; Xiao Jing follows the industry. Between 50 and 60 years, as for changing customs, CoCo Lee is mellow. "

Emperor Wen of Chinese (202 BC-65438 BC+057 BC)

Emperor Wendi, the son of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, was first appointed as the acting king. After Lv Hou's death, Zhou Bo and others put down various rebellions, and he became the emperor. He was in office from 180 BC to 157 BC. He vigorously promoted the policy of rest and recuperation, attached importance to agricultural production, and advocated extravagant taxation. In the second and twelfth years of Emperor Wendi, the land rent was reduced to thirty taxes and one tax twice. In the 13th year (167 years ago), the land rent was completely exempted, and it was not until the first year of Emperor Jingdi (156 years ago) that it was restored to the 30-tax one, which became the custom of the Han Dynasty. Wendi also reduced the calculation tax (poll tax) from per person per year 120 yuan to 40 yuan. The corvee has also been reduced accordingly, from serving one month a year to "one thing every three years" He also advocated lenient punishment. In thirteen years, he ordered the abolition of the law of sitting next to relatives and some harmful corporal punishment, such as tattooing on the face, cutting off the nose, cutting off the feet and so on. Paying taxes lightly, reducing punishment and promoting the recovery and development of agricultural production. Emperor Wen paid attention to thrift (there are examples of stopping the construction of terraces in the small print) and advocated clean government. Once, someone gave Deng Wendi a swift horse. Wendi said: The emperor had a ceremony before going out, and there was a car behind him. I walk 50 miles a day. Where can a person ride a swift horse? He returned the horse to the man who sent it, paid the fare and told him to go back. He also ordered: "I won't give it, so I told Sifang not to come." Emperor Wen made great efforts to govern, paid attention to thrift, saved financial expenses, formed a clean government atmosphere, and reduced the burden on the people. So at that time, Caihai made great achievements.

Han Jingdi (former 188- former 14 1)

Han Jing is the eldest son of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Liu Qi. Former 156- former 14 1 year in office. Jingdi attached importance to agriculture, and once worked with officials to make suggestions for agriculture, and let the queen supervise mulberry planting, sericulture and weaving. Emperor Jingdi wrote: "Agriculture is the foundation of the world, and the golden pearls and jade are hungry and clothed in cold ... It makes the county government advise farmers to plant trees and get clothes and food." Jingdi also reduced the flogging of Wendi (Wendi changed to flogging after corporal punishment). Whipping is flogging prisoners with bamboo boards. Prison break is lighter and prison affairs are simple. The oppression of the people was obviously less than that of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, the kingdom expanded, and Jingdi used Chao Cuo to cut the princes. Later, the rebellion of the seven countries was put down, which weakened the power of the kingdom and strengthened the central government. Wendi and Jingdi reigned for forty years, which is called "the rule of Wenjing" in history.

Lujia

Rujia, a native of Chu, ruled the world from Emperor Gaozu. Often around Emperor Gaozu, he made suggestions or sent ministers. When he spoke in front of Emperor Gaozu, he often quoted words from Confucian classics such as The Book of Songs and Shangshu. Emperor Gaozu cursed: "I will get the official residence right away. What about the poems and books?" Lu Jia replied: "Since I got it right away, why not treat it right away? ..... both civil and military skills are also long skills. " Emperor gaozu said: write me some articles and analyze why the Qin dynasty lost the world and why I can win it. So Lu Jia wrote 12 and presented it to Emperor Gaozu, which was called Xinyu. "Every time a piece is played, Emperor Gaudi calls it good" (see Book of Han, Volume 43, Biography of Lu Jia). "Nothing is the fourth" on the volume of Xinyu: "Qin Shihuang designated it as a punishment for cracking the car to suppress evil. Building the Great Wall for Moon Lake in Jingrong. Impose a lot and swallow a little, which is a great shock to the world. ..... The more annoying things are, the more chaotic the world is (referring to the peasant uprising); The more laws there are, the more treacherous they are (the more complicated the laws, the more people break the law); The more troops there are, the more enemies there are. Qin Fei doesn't want to be cured. The loser is violent (cruel and annoying) and uses Tai Chi (excessive). " There is something like "the strong plow the fields" in the Ninth German School, which advocates that farmers should have time to farm.

Let the soldiers demobilize and avoid years of hard labor. ...

According to the Book of Emperor Gaozu, in May 202 BC, "the soldiers returned home. According to the imperial edict, the son of a vassal will be twelve years old when he is in Guanzhong (Kanto people who entered Guanzhong to annihilate Qin want to stay in Guanzhong 12 years) and will be six years old when he returns (willing to return to his hometown for six years). In front of the people, gather Bao Shanze (people who fled to Shanze during the war) and let them return to their counties, (restore) the old Jue and Tian Zhai. ..... Anyone who sells himself as a maid because of hunger is exempt from becoming a Shu Ren. The title of military officer ... those who have no title and are dissatisfied with doctors are called doctors. Therefore, the title given by the doctor is one level higher. All the seven doctors and above (officials with seven products or above) are food cities. Anyone who is not under the seven doctors should return to their homes and do nothing (the following seven doctors are exempt from their own and their families). "
