Lv Zhi (? -65438 BC+65438 BC+080 BC), born in Danfu County (now Shandong County), wife of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, commonly known as Lv Hou, Empress Gaozu and Wu Zetian of Tang Dynasty. Lv Zhi married Liu Bang, curator of Surabaya Pavilion, and gave birth to Liu Ying and Princess Luyuan. After Liu Bang ascended the throne, Lv Zhi participated in the killing of Han Xin and Peng Yue.
After Emperor Liu Ying ascended the throne, she was honored as the Empress Dowager, becoming the first empress and empress dowager recorded in history, and the first woman to become an imperial concubine after Qin Shihuang unified China. During her reign, she respected the learning of Huang Lao, pursued the policy of doing nothing, implemented the policy of sharing interest with the people, supported Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty to abolish calligraphy, encouraged folk books to donate books, and restored the old classics.
Administrative measures in Lv Zhi:
Lv Hou pursues the national policies of "being with the people" and "governing by doing nothing". Encourage production. For example, in BC 19 1 year, the county government was ordered to "restore people's filial piety and strengthen farmland" to exempt corvee as a preferential measure to encourage farmers to engage in production, and "reduce farmland rent and restore fifteen taxes".
Lv Hou continues its national policy of attaching importance to agriculture and gradually relaxes its commercial policy. In the later period of Liu Bang's rule, he issued decrees to suppress commerce and punish unscrupulous businessmen. "The world is flat, but Emperor Gaozu ordered Jia people not to travel in clothes and silks, and to pay taxes to show their embarrassment." But the blow was too big, which dampened the enthusiasm of businessmen and intensified social contradictions.
When Lv Hou was in power, Liaodong satrap made an appointment with Wei Man, and Wei Man fled to North Korea to stand on his own feet. Wei Man was a minister of foreign countries in Han Dynasty, who commanded the barbarians in Liaodong beyond the Great Wall. He is not allowed to invade the border and allow barbarians to appear before Chang' an. The court approved its agreement, so Wei Man was able to conquer all ethnic groups in Liaodong beyond the Great Wall and become a "thousand miles in place" regime.
