西汉初期,汉王朝采取“休养生息”的政策,到西汉中期,国家已相当富庶。后来,由于汉武帝对匈奴连年用兵,加上统治阶级的肆意挥霍和富商豪门的囤积居奇,物资日益匮乏,财源枯竭,财政困难重重。为了进行战争,汉武帝采用桑弘羊的建议,对财政进行了大规模的改革。这次改革中的一项重要措施,就是“算緍”和“告緍”。 In the early Western Han Dynasty, the Han dynasty adopted the policy of “recuperating and recuperating”, and by the mid-Western Han Dynasty, the country was quite prosperous. Later, due to successive military exploits of the Huns by the Han Dynasty, coupled with the indiscriminate splurge of the ruling class and the accumulation of wealthy wealthy families, the material shortage was increasingly scarce, the financial resources were depleted and the financial difficulties were heavy. In order to carry out the war, Emperor Han Emperor Wu adopted the proposal of Sang Hongyang and conducted a large-scale fiscal reform. An important measure in this reform is “counting” and “reporting.”
