Answer 1

The Tang land reform policy strengthened the central government primarily by **breaking up the localized power of large landowners**. This redistribution of land reduced the influence and control that wealthy landowners had over local populations and helped to ensure that more peasants could own the land they worked, thereby increasing the central government's authority and influence throughout the countryside.
