The main deeds of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty are:

1. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty restored the "equal land system". Men over the age of 18 were divided into 100 acres of land, of which 80 acres were "portal land". 20 acres are "Yongye Field". This satisfies farmers' demands for land to a certain extent, promotes the development of agricultural production, ensures state tax revenue, and limits the annexation of land by powerful powers to some extent. The "Equal Land System" provided the material foundation for the prosperity of the early Tang Dynasty.

2. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty implemented the "mansion army system". The government soldiers are guards, who are recruited from households by the government. They are drafted at the age of 21 and exempted from service at the age of 60. The guards usually work on the farm and gather together for training during the off-season. When serving, they must prepare their own weapons and supplies, and take turns guarding the capital or the border in batches. Once a war broke out, the soldiers returned to the military mansion, were recruited by the imperial court, and handed over to the generals.

After the war is over, the generals return to the court and the soldiers return to the military mansion. This kind of military system that recruits soldiers from farmers and has a relatively guaranteed supply of soldiers is called "employing soldiers in farmers." This approach not only transferred part of the military supplies to farmers, reducing the country's military burden, but also prevented ambitious generals from separatist forces because soldiers and generals could not stay together for a long time.

3. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also paid attention to reducing taxes and corvees, vigorously promoted frugality, and opposed large-scale construction projects. Historically, this period was called the "Reign of Zhenguan." Due to these powerful measures, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was in power. In the more than 20 years since then, the political and economic development of Tang Dynasty society has reached an unprecedented level. "People do not pick up lost things on the road and do not close their doors at night." There is a prosperous scene in the country.

Some tribes outside the border have come to join us, and there is an endless flow of business travelers from various countries. At this time, China had developed into the most prosperous feudal country in the world at that time.

Fang and Du, one is good at making plans and the other is good at making decisions, so they are called "Fang Mou Du Jue" to describe their respective expertise and characteristics.
