In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang took a series of measures to restore the economy, which made the agricultural production advance by leaps and bounds. Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty still adhered to this established national policy. In the national treasury, there were mountains of coins piled up, and the thread of money was rotten. There were countless grains in the grain depot, which could not be held in the warehouse, so they had to stack them in the open air, and many grains were rotten and could no longer be eaten.
