Taxes were reduced during the Han Dynasty and people who related to farming were often respected. Life in the city was difficult for the poor who lived in crowded houses and often went without food due to no work so that they can't earn and as a result no food is available for them. Life in the villages and countryside was better for the peasants because they had to work hard, but they had food and shelter. Wu Ti's economic achievements was the expanding the empire and established Silk Road trade. More goods were available in more places due to this silk road so we can say that it has a great influence.
