Idiom story

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang took a series of measures to restore the economy, which made the agricultural production advance by leaps and bounds. Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty still adhered to this established national policy. As a result, there were mountains of coins piled up in the national treasury, and there were countless grains piled up in the grain depot. Because of the old and the old, the warehouse could not hold them, so they had to pile them up in the open air, and many grains rotted and could no longer be eaten.
