Politics

  • Lenient administration and lenient punishment
It is known in history that Liu Zhizhong is generous, benevolent and loyal Kinship Moreover, its decrees and punishments are indeed relatively lenient. For example, according to the Eastern Han Dynasty system, official corruption should imprison three generations, that is, three generations are not allowed to be officials.
Liu Xuan abolished this system. Liu Xuan's rewards to officials and nobles often exceed the prescribed limit, resulting in national finance And put these burdens on the people. It can be seen that Liu Gui's leniency is not entirely based on principles.

[51 ]
In the first year of Yuanhe (84), the price of grain was expensive, and the county officials were short of funds, which worried the court. Zhang Lin, the minister, said: "The reason why grain prices are expensive is because of the devaluation of the currency. We can stop issuing money and take cloth for rent to meet the needs of the whole world. Salt is a necessity of life, and even if it is expensive, people have to buy it. The government can sell it by itself. At the same time, we should charge interest on market trade in Yizhou and Yizhou, and implement the policy of Equalizing leveling Law.
