About This Novel
In 206 BC, after Liu Bang entered Xianyang, he declared that he should be the king of Guanzhong. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, he changed his greedy and lustful style, accepted the advice of the officials, closed the Qin Dynasty's treasury, returned the military hegemony, summoned representatives of the landowners from all over the country, and made a three-chapter agreement, which stipulated: "Those who kill will die, and those who injure and steal will not be punished. I will remove the Qin law, and all officials will remain in trouble." That is to say, the peasant army was prohibited from suppressing the landlords and bureaucrats, the landowners' land ownership and private property were protected, and the original lower-level officials of the Qin Dynasty continued to serve. The three chapters of the agreement marked Liu Bang's transformation from a peasant uprising leader to a political representative of the landlord class. Liu Bang's counselor Xiao He also received the legal documents, documents and archives of the Qin Dynasty, mastered the household registration and tax situation across the country, and made full preparations for the restoration of feudal order.
