Money, food, wealth.

This is the key, farmers have money and food, so they will give you peace of mind.

It's not that the employees don't work hard, the key is that the boss doesn't give the money in place!

In the chat group, the emperors all looked solemn, how much does it cost Emperor Yang of Sui?

Chen Tong had a smile in his eyes, to be honest, many people have no concept of the Sui Dynasty, and when they think of the Sui Dynasty, they are how cruel Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is.

But few people know how powerful the national strength of the Sui Dynasty was, and the abundance of food was unimaginable.

Chen Tong:

"Does the Sui Dynasty have so much money?

"That is, people don't know about the Sui Dynasty. ”

"Do you think the Tang Dynasty is extremely prosperous and is called the Tang Dynasty!"

"But what I want to tell you is: the end of the Tang generation, only in the Tang Dynasty, during the reign of Xuanzong Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty entered its most prosperous period, when the population reached a historical peak. ”

"The wealth of the Tang Dynasty surpassed the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui. ”

"The wealth of the Sui Dynasty is beyond your imagination!"

"And Emperor Yang of Sui is also the richest second generation of emperors in history, the wealth he inherited from his father made all emperors blush, this is the confidence of Emperor Yang of Sui to dare to build the Grand Canal!"

..................

What the?

The emperor was extremely shocked, because when he was blowing water in the chat group before, everyone recognized the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Sheng Tang, that's not blowing, it's really prosperous to the extreme.

The Kaiyuan Prosperous Era, which can be said to be one of the most famous prosperous times in history, is also the most famous prosperous era.

Cao Cao was not calm at the moment, he walked back and forth in the study, and felt an inexplicable shock in his heart.

Friends of Married Woman:

"How is this possible, it took more than 130 years and the accumulation of several generations of kings to reach the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui was alone, and his wealth was close to the peak of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"It's unbelievable!"

..................

Not to mention that Cao Cao couldn't believe it, even Li Shimin himself didn't believe it.

The wealth of the Sui Dynasty can be compared with the most prosperous time of the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't this be a few dozen streets away from his Zhenguan rule?

Eternal Li II:

"How is this possible!"

"In the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, it was through the rule of Zhenguan and the efforts of the following kings that it achieved great prosperity. ”

"As a result, you told me that the reign of the emperor surpassed its wealth only when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak?"

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

..................

Zhu Di was also confused, how rich this is.

He didn't know at all, as a rich emperor, what kind of consumption attitude should he have?

But he couldn't understand why the Tang Dynasty, known as the Tang Dynasty, was only a little bit more wealthy than the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui!

Punish your ten clans (the lord of the prosperous world):

"You have to give me a reasonable explanation, how did he get the money from the Sui Dynasty?"

..................

At this moment, Emperor Xin and Qin Shi Huang were both staring at the chat group seriously, because examining the strength of a dynasty was nothing more than those indicators.

The number of households, the amount of wealth, the strength of the soldiers, the extent of the territory, and the international status.

It stands to reason that the later dynasties are easy to surpass the previous dynasties, after all, there are the accumulation and superposition of the previous ones, the progress of science and technology, and the development of productive forces.

But the previous dynasties almost reached the peak of the later dynasties, which shows a big problem!

Either the later dynasties are too weak, or the previous dynasties are too strong!

Was the Tang Dynasty weak?

The Tang Dynasty was a rare strong and powerful feudal dynasty, how could it be weak?

Then it can only be shown that the Sui Dynasty is too strong.

..................

Chen Tong shook his neck, his fingers tapped quickly on the mechanical keyboard, and at this moment, in his mind, all kinds of information from the Sui Dynasty were shaking in his mind.

He seemed to see the two kings of the Sui and Tang dynasties, both of whom were male lords in the world.

Chen Tong:

"The prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty mainly came from one system, that is, the Juntian system!"

"The equalization system affirms the ownership and possession of land, reduces land disputes, and is conducive to the reclamation of ownerless wasteland. Therefore, it has played a positive role in the recovery and development of agricultural production. ”

"The most important thing is that the Juntian system collects taxes according to the head and household registration, which greatly increases the financial tax revenue of the dynasty. ”

This is also one of the things that Li Shimin is most proud of. ”

"But you have to be clear that the Juntian system was not pioneered by Li Shimin. The Juntian system is a system that appeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

And Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty was not the first dynasty to receive the dividends of the Juntian system. ”

"The Sui Dynasty is the biggest owner of this dividend. ”

"What is the basis of the equalization system? The foundation is the huge population base, and the equalization system is to put it bluntly, it eats the demographic dividend. ”

.......................

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help exclaiming:

"How did I forget this, the uniform field system, so that the tax falls on the head and the household registration, so that the family gate valve is not required to profit from it. ”

He looked at his eldest son Zhu Gaochi with very unkind eyes, and really wanted to say: You have read all the books to the belly of a dog, let me ask you a question, you don't even know once, what kind of book are you reading?"

............

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed.

Friends of Married Woman:

"This is the Juntian system, which directly bypasses the family gate valve, on the one hand, it allows the people to obtain land as much as possible, and on the other hand, it also allows the dynasty to have more taxes. ”

"To sum it up, it's a sentence, there is no middleman to make the difference, it's really fragrant!"

............

Wu Zetian instantly understood.

Heart of the Illusory Sea:

"Then, under this system, to see whether the dynasty is rich or not, the most important parameter is the size of the population!"

"That's the fight for the population base. ”

"I understand, this is the reason why the Sui Dynasty is rich. ”

.............

Chen Tong felt that it was easy to communicate with them, they were all experts, and they could understand everything.

Chen Tong:

"I believe everyone understands that based on the tax system of the Juntian system, the amount of the dynasty's finances depends on an indicator, the population base!"

"Then let's take a look at the population comparison of the Sui and Tang dynasties. ”

"I won't take Li Shimin as an example this time, saying that the population bullied him too much, after all, he took over a mess, and there were only more than 2 million households at the beginning. ”

.......

At this moment, Li Shimin really wants to say, I thank you so much!

Feeling that he didn't have to be a unit of measurement, Li Shimin felt very comfortable in his heart, but the next moment, he was not so comfortable, because Chen Tongming was his son.

Chen Tong:

"If we look at the reign of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi, the population was about 3.8 million households. ”

"And what about the population of Emperor Wen of Sui?"

When he first took over from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the population reached 6.8 million households, and then during his reign, he made great efforts to govern the country, coupled with a large-scale inventory of hidden populations. ”

"Directly brought the population to a peak of 8.7 million households. ”

"That's more than twice as much as during the reign of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi. ”

In the end of the Tang Dynasty, only at the peak of the Tang Dynasty, that is, during the reign of Xuanzong Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, the number of registered households in the Tang Dynasty reached 9.62 million, and the peak population reached 52.88 million. ”

Relying on the tax collection model of the Juntian system, the state finances of the Sui Dynasty were only a little lower than those of the Tang Xuanzong period. ”

"Can you imagine how terrifying Emperor Sui's taxes are every year?"

"The most important thing is that Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was very frugal and accumulated a lot of wealth, all of which was left to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. ”

"This is the confidence of Emperor Yang of Sui to dare to build such crazy infrastructure!"

"Rich, capricious!"

.........

So that's the case?

Emperor Xin's heart moved, the Juntian system can be said to be a sharp weapon, which is from the mouth of the family gate, and a large amount of hidden wealth has been ruthlessly taken out.

Let the country's tax revenue skyrocket.

The uniform land system is based on the demographic dividend, the more people, the more taxes will be collected!

With such a comparison, he had a clear understanding of the wealth of the Sui Dynasty.

The thrifty Emperor Wen of Sui accumulated more than 20 years of terrifying taxes comparable to more than half of the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty, all of which were left to Emperor Yang of Sui.

Emperor Yang of Sui is too rich!
