Why was Chao Cuo appreciated by Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty?

There were two articles written by Guy in the Western Han Dynasty, which were called "Hong Wen of the Western Han Dynasty" by Lu Xun.

It means that these two guys write too much. One is Jia Yi and the other is Chao Cuo.

Jia Yi is the Jia Yi mentioned in "Jia Yi Qu in Changsha" written by Wang Bo in "Preface to Wang Tengting" in the Tang Dynasty, so don't mention him. Tell me about Chao Cuo. During the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, soldiers were recruited from the mainland to guard the border, that is, the government, like the National Government, chose one out of two and two out of three (two sons sent one son as a soldier and three sons sent two sons as soldiers) and sent farmers from all over the country to the frontier to "defend the motherland". At that time, the enemies of the Western Han Dynasty were Huns, who rode horses and shot sculptures. They are very good at guerrilla warfare and looting property, cattle, sheep and women. The Han army was exhausted and inefficient. Farmers in the mainland have changed shifts one after another, and the people have a heavy burden. Chao Cuo sent a proposal to the emperor, suggesting that people who immigrated from the mainland to the frontier should not only farm, but also fight. Who immigrated to the frontier?

First, people who break the law go to the frontier without going to jail to suffer hardships, but also receive subsidies, housing and land, and the government is also in charge of finding wives.

Second, handmaiden, a slave handmaiden without freedom, immigrated to the frontier, that is, free people, with housing and land subsidies, and the government also managed to find a wife.

Third, rich people pay people to go to the frontier. Such a rich man has a title and is willing to do so.

Fourth, ordinary people have more preferential conditions to go to the frontier. At the same time, these people who immigrated to the frontier are organized and well-trained, can fight and have trophies, so they can stay and keep half for themselves. Chao Cuo's reform stabilized the border of the Western Han Dynasty, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty was strong, so there was a prosperous time called "the rule of cultural scenes" in later generations.
