What reforms did Emperor Wenjing carry out in order to resume production? Emperor Gaozu summed up the lessons of the demise of the Qin Dynasty and adopted the policy of "sharing interest with the people" in the period of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, further promoting the politics and metallurgy of Huanglao buried hill. In the period of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi, he advocated taking agriculture as the foundation, and further implemented the policies of "paying little attention to taxes" and "sparing laws and forbidding", so that production was slowly restored and developed, which was called the rule of Wenjing in history.

First, when Emperor Wendi was in power, Jia Yi called for a prelude. Because the local tax corvee was too heavy, many people abandoned agriculture to do business, which led to the failure to repair and develop agriculture. And "statutes are inferior to business, and business has flourished;" Respect the peasants, who have always been poor. "In view of this situation, Jia Yi proposed that" farmers drive the people back, all based on this. " Chao Cuo also called for attaching importance to agriculture. Emperor Wen of Han adopted the opinions of Jia Yi and Chao Cuo, advocated taking agriculture as the foundation, and issued orders many times to persuade farmers to develop agricultural economy.

So in the twelfth year of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, the tax was exempted by half, and the "thirty taxes and one tax" was implemented, and there was a "land removal tax" for thirteen years. In May of BC 156, Emperor Jingdi ordered half of the land to be rented, that is, thirty taxes and one tax, which became the custom of the Han Dynasty. During the Wenjing period, the corvees and guards in the jurisdiction were reduced, the county annual tax was terminated, and the Shanze Forbidden Park was opened to ordinary cultivated land. And enacted a bill to help widows and widowers.

The implementation of these measures has reduced the pressure on farmers, made their lives relatively stable, and played a certain role in restoring and developing agriculture.

Secondly, the policy of forbidding laws in Wenjing period abolished some harsh laws, such as blasphemy against magic, sitting with wives, and the shape of broken limbs. But also reduced the whipping, thus alleviating the class struggle and the internal differences of the ruling class. Making laws and regulations is an important specific content of political metallurgy of buried hill in Wenjing period. It is precisely because of the implementation of this measure that many officials are lenient in prison and strong in criminal procedure law, alleviating the class struggle and internal differences of the ruling class.

Third, the policy of benefiting business. Emperor Wen of Han also changed the policy of "restraining business" to "benefiting business". An order to "turn on the lights and turn off the electricity, and prohibit Chishanze" is actually to cancel the pedestrian inspection system in Daguan Jinliang and the restrictions on logging and fishing in trees and rivers. Businessmen are free to buy and sell, cut mountains, cast drums and chop wood at will. After the implementation of this countermeasure, both commercial services and craftsmen have achieved a rapid development trend.

Fourthly, the policy of expensive millet was put forward by Chao Cuo, a thinker in the period of Emperor Wen. Its principle is "making people take millet as punishment", in other words, farmers can buy official titles from the government with grain crops or repent with grain crops. In order to help the Huns in the north, you can buy a knight or repent. People who enter the millet will transport millet along the Great Wall.

Until the border is rich in food crops, millet farmers will transport food crops to counties. Many food crops in the countryside can reduce rents; Businessmen should be awarded official titles. You can also buy food from villagers, and the price of food will also rise. This policy made the national stock increase sharply, and the life and production of farmers were once improved. The social development and social status of businessmen have also been further improved.

Five, "Ma Fu Ling" lacked military horses in the early Han Dynasty and was at a disadvantage in the battle with tarquin. In order to encourage people to raise horses and improve the strength of cavalry, Chao Cuo put forward a horse service order to Wendi. Its specific content is: people raise horses, which can avoid three corvees. During the period of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Ma Su Order was vigorously promoted.
