The feudal rulers, represented by Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, learned the lesson of the death of Sui II and realized that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The people still have water, and the monarch still has a boat. They formulated and adopted a series of measures to help stabilize people's lives, develop social production and promote the long-term stability of feudal countries.
