On the historical stage of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are many brilliant characters and stories. Among them, one of the protagonists in the story of Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony - the image of the monarch Goujian is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He was praised by later generations as a heroic figure who "endured humiliation and burden, and tasted courage on his back", and his position in history is irreplaceable.
When we look back to Gou Jian's life, we find that his reign did not end with the conquest of the world by force, but also attached more importance to people's lives and social development. In order to maintain the stability and development of the country, he also paid attention to agricultural production and the rural people, and adopted a series of effective measures to ensure agricultural production. Therefore, let us re-examine this ancient wise monarch from the perspective of agrarian culture.
Gou Jian is very aware of the importance of agriculture to a country. In his view, agriculture is the foundation of a country, and without an adequate supply of food and other agricultural products, it is impossible to maintain the basic survival needs of the population. Because the war consumed a lot of resources, manpower and material resources, the originally rich land became barren. Faced with this situation, Goujian actively encourages people to return to the land and engage in agricultural production to bring society back to life.
In order to allow the majority of farmers to farm with peace of mind and improve crop yields, Goujian has also formulated corresponding policies and systems. For example, he implemented a fair and reasonable tax system in China to reduce the burden on farmland and avoid the bankruptcy and displacement of farmers due to excessive taxes. In addition, he advocated soil improvement techniques and the provision of high-quality seeds and fertilizers to ensure good crop quality and increase production profits. At the same time, in view of the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, the government has established a sound disaster prevention and drought control system, and set up a special agency to be responsible for the implementation of specific work, so as to reduce disaster losses.
Gou Jian knows that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. To this end, he vigorously invested in infrastructure construction and built roads and bridges and other engineering facilities, which not only facilitated the transportation of goods, but also conducive to the development of agricultural production. This advanced concept was not common at the time, and it not only reflected Goujian's unique strategic vision, but also laid a solid foundation for social development.
In order to further promote the development of agriculture, Gou Jian also advocated the implementation of the talent education strategy and encouraged people of insight to devote themselves to the field of agricultural science and technology. Under his leadership, more and more talents began to delve into agricultural planting techniques and management methods. This has undoubtedly improved the overall level of agriculture on the mainland and strongly supported the development of the Goujian era.
As an outstanding politician, Gou Jian deeply understands how to care about the people's weal and woe and is people-oriented. He attaches great importance to agriculture and related livelihood issues, and promotes agricultural production through various means, which has brought tangible benefits to the broad masses of the people. Through an in-depth understanding of this period, we can't help but sigh at Gou Jian's superb governing ability and profound sense of social responsibility. I believe that such a heroic figure will always live in the hearts of the Chinese!
