Why did the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce in the Han Dynasty eventually lead to the peasant uprising?

Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, emphasized agriculture and restrained commerce in order to stop land annexation, but the land annexation not only did not stop, but became more serious. From the Han Dynasty to the second emperor, that is, when Emperor Hancheng was in power, an etiquette named Chen Tang pleaded with the emperor, saying that there were more and more rich people in kanto region, and many enterprises annexed land resources and forced ordinary people to work for them. You see, attaching importance to agriculture and restraining business has aggravated land merger. What is the reason?

The reason behind them is actually very simple. When tycoons encounter obstacles in their business, they gradually find other ways to make a fortune. At that time, the land tax was far lower than the commercial service tax, and the risk of project investment in land resources was far lower than that of project investment in industry. Sima Qian used eight words to describe the famous family at that time, called "making money depends on the end, keeping money depends on capital" The "end" is industry and the "root" is agriculture and animal husbandry. These eight words mean making money by industry, and then investing the money in land resources.

Haozu people buy back farmers' land resources and transform them into ecological parks, and will continue to make them according to time in the ecological parks, with diverse development trends. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a noble family named Fan Zhong in Nanyang County, who was a big farmer at that time. Fan Zhong also has a real identity. He is the grandfather of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. According to historical records, Fan Zhong's ecological park covers an area of more than 300 hectares, and there are perfect water conservancy construction projects in the park. Grain crops, fresh fruits and mulberry trees have been planted, fish ponds have been dug to raise fish, and there are even grasslands where sheep and cattle can be raised.

After farmers sold their land to the rich, not all of them slept with them. Others are unwilling to listen to people, so they emigrate to more remote areas and open up new land resources. There were many uncultivated land resources in Hebei, Shandong and the south of the Yangtze River in Han Dynasty, which became the key arrival stations for immigrants.

The population of this area only accounted for about 2% of the national population in the late Western Han Dynasty, and by the late Hanzhong, it had already accounted for 15% of the national population. This is mainly the result of immigration. It must be noted that at that time, there were probably a large number of immigrants in southern China who were not statistically analyzed. Because these people hide in the mountains in order to better avoid the tax and labor of government departments, it is not easy for them to have household registration books in government departments.

Large-scale immigration has brought a problem. The quality of irrigation equipment for farmland water conservancy in new immigrant areas is very poor, and the ability to resist risks is too weak. Commercial services are underdeveloped, and the development trend of farmers is not a second occupation, only farming. If natural disasters and crop failures occur, farmers are likely to be unable to survive. Moreover, the mountains in this area are high and the emperor is far away, so officials are more likely to run amok and farmers will be greatly squeezed. There is an old saying that "unruly people come from the hinterland". Although it contains the color of regional discrimination, there is a certain truth behind it: if the people in a region can't basically guarantee their daily lives, it is really very easy to choose to resist.

In the whole process of immigration, another situation happened, that is, immigrants chose their own leaders. How many problems do you encounter when you immigrate to a new area? Just buying agricultural machinery and land resources will cost a lot of money. Ordinary farmers cannot afford the money. At this time, we should give full play to the energy of the group and set up many other organizations, so that we can live our daily lives. As the saying goes, "birds don't fly without a head", the whole process of the organization will definitely lead.

There is often a word called "Zongshuai", which refers to the clan relatives of the family and the handsome commander. Three years after Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was founded, another incident happened: Yuan Shu, the commander of Huainan City, secretly contacted a man named Zulang on Lu Xun's chassis and asked him to send troops together. This ancestor was Zong Shuai of Danyang City, which is today's Xuancheng area of Anhui Province. You see, Zong Shuai's great energy has attracted great attention from the army. Who the hell is that handsome guy? Is actually the leader of immigrants.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the famous "Green Forest Red Eyebrow Uprising" broke out, which was actually the collective name of two peasant uprisings. The Greenwood Uprising was born in Hubei, and the peasant uprising captured the Greenwood Mountain, so it was called the "Greenwood Hero". Later generations called this hero who took the mountain as the king a "chivalrous man". The reason for the Greenwood Uprising was that there was a famine in the mobile phone version. There are two local brothers, one is Zhang, who often calls Wang Kuang, and the other is Wang Feng. The two brothers have great prestige in the local area. They often negotiate their differences honestly, so they are promoted to leaders. You see, whether it is the address, the reason or the leadership, this peasant uprising conforms to many of the characteristics mentioned above.

Children will watch the Red Eyebrow Uprising again. The Red Eyebrow Uprising originated in the coastal areas of Shandong Province. The peasant uprising painted their eyebrows bright red, so they were called "Red Eyebrow Army". The cause of the Red Eyebrow Uprising is also the famine in the mobile phone version. At that time, there was drought and locust plague every year in Shandong, and the people could not even eat the roots of grassroots entrepreneurship, only Gan Jie Uprising. The leader of the Red Eyebrow Uprising was Fan Chong. History records that he usually loves to uphold justice, and the poor are very supportive of him. You see, the Red Eyebrow Uprising also meets many characteristics mentioned above.
