At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the population fell sharply, and Liu Bang issued a strange will to restore the population, netizens: It is worthy of being a mixed family
As a very powerful dynasty in ancient China, the Han Dynasty experienced many wars such as the Chu-Han War. Although he eventually occupied his own territory in the chaotic world, he also lost a large number of people and reduced the population. Agricultural production is also increasingly withering, and the country is facing long-term repairs. Because most of the young people used in the war were strong, there were many men and girls after the war, so increasing the population became a matter that the Han Dynasty was eager to solve.
Ancient societies attached great importance to the number of people, and the more the population, the more it shows that the country is developing very well. So when Liu Bang was emperor at that time, because the country had just experienced a big war, the population plummeted, so the first thing Liu Bang did when he became emperor was to increase the population of the country. At that time, Liu Bang came up with a way to pay a single tax as long as a woman is more than fifteen years old and has not yet married, which is undoubtedly forcing women to get married early, otherwise they will have to bear a lot of taxes.
This was a gospel for men at that time, but we all know that women have to pick a good one if they marry, and after liu Bang's law was promulgated, many women rushed to promise themselves to others, which is why many families were unhappy at that time. Although the population of the Han Dynasty increased, we say that this method is very unfavorable to women.
There is a saying that a good saying, a woman giving birth to a child is from the ghost door closed a trip, in the modern medical so developed society, the news of women giving birth to a child is still everywhere, not to mention that in ancient China, where the medical level was very low, a large number of pregnant women died in dystocia, and it was not uncommon for a corpse to die twice.
