The Spring and Autumn Warring States period was a rare period of turmoil in China's history, but where there was turmoil, war was indispensable, and the result of the war was bound to be the blood of countless young people staining the yellow sand.
Later, Qin Shi Huang ended the chaotic world and agreed to China, but the Qin Empire only existed for a short period of fifteen years, the peasant revolt at the end of Qin, the world fell into turmoil again, the war was endless, I don't know how many sons and daughters died under the great cause of others.
In the rebel army at the end of Qin, only Xiang Yu and Liu Bang later became the climate, but after four years of struggle between Chu and Han, Xiang Yu still lost, so it was Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, who finally unified the world. The Han Dynasty was established, but there were only broken walls and ruins on the fertile soil of China.
Rebuilding China necessarily requires manpower, and at this time there was a very unbalanced phenomenon under the rule of the Han Dynasty, that is, more women and fewer men, of course, this is also the tragedy caused by the war.
Liu Bang is a person with ambitions and achievements, and for this dilemma, Liu Bang promulgated a set of surprising tax laws, and all women over the age of fifteen who have not yet married, the mother's family has to bear a tax of one hundred and twenty yuan per year.
Of course, this is very difficult for ordinary families to bear, so many families are anxious to marry off their daughters.
In ancient China, we paid attention to the three principles and five constants, which means that the king is the subject, the father is the son, the husband is the wife, and when the woman is not married, she has to obey the arrangements of her parents, and when she is married, she must also listen to her husband, and life will naturally not be very happy.
Then, after the war, the phenomenon of population reduction has always existed, why does Liu Bang dare to do what others dare not do, dare to use such a tax law?
In fact, this still has a lot to do with Liu Bang's origin, Liu Bang was a hooligan in his early years, and the hooligan has a great characteristic, that is, doing things only talks about the result, not the process, that is, to achieve the goal of unscrupulous means, which Liu Bang used when dealing with Xiang Yu.
It can be said that the means of those hooligans were also used freely by Liu Bang in politics later, which also brought Liu Bang a lot of convenience. Because of the difference in origin, Liu Bang could think of those strange methods.
Speaking of which, Liu Bang called the empress dowager, and in order to quickly restore the population, this rogue policy was issued to make women suffer.
