The Tang land policy – the " Equal-field system " – claimed all lands as imperially owned, and were granted evenly to people according to the size of the households.
The associated military policy – the " Fubing system " – conscripted all men in the nation for a fixed duty period each year in exchange for their land rights.
These policies stimulated rapid growth of productivity, while boosting the army without much burden on the state treasury.
However, lands gradually fell into the hands of private land owners, and standing armies were to replace conscription towards the middle period of the dynasty.
