The period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was a period of great development of the gate valve family, and their power was quite strong. After the unification of the Sui Dynasty, they still relied on their powerful power in an attempt to contend with the central power. This sharp contradiction persisted in the Jiangnan region, and the Sui regime was under severe threat, and it was imperative for the Sui rulers to implement effective rule over the south. At the same time, the minority regimes on the northern border were also a great problem for the Sui, and the Sui Dynasty sent a large number of troops to garrison the border, and these troops were not enough to rely on the tuntian, but had to rely on the supply of grain and salary from the Jianghuai and the Central Plains. The road is long, and digging a canal is the key to solving the problem.

The successive dynasties after the Sui Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty to this day, whether it is the regime during the period of great unification or the period of separation, all pay attention to the dredging and improvement of the canal, and its motive is nothing more than economic, political, military and other aspects, and make full use of the canal to transport water. On the basis of the canal, the establishment of a huge and complex transportation system, the continuous transportation of material resources from all over the country to the location of the capital, has become one of the main means of the rulers of the Chinese land.

The reason for the repair and diversion of the canal is also the frequent silting of the canal and the change of the location of the capital of different regimes. To the Yuan Dynasty Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal through the whole line, to my Ming Dynasty Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal became the north-south water transport trunk line, I believe that after another five hundred years, this canal still exudes his efficacy, therefore, Wei Chen wants to tell the emperor, things in the world have two sides, Yang Ge Lao saw the trouble that can not be shaken off after laying down Annan, so as to make the people of the Ming Dynasty miserable, this move for the sake of my Ming Dynasty, this eyesight, this wisdom, let Wei Chen admire. Yang Zheng said and swept Yang Rong, seeing the smile on the old guy's face, he said in his heart: "It seems that Ma Pi is really liked by everyone, otherwise there would not be so many Ma Pi Jing in the world."

Yang Shiqi said in his heart: "Patting the old man's ass in front of the emperor, this kind of shameless thing is only done by him?" ”

Everyone was embarrassed, and said in their hearts: "This sycophant comes quietly, quite a realm of sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently, and the master's behavior is really unusual?" ”

Yang Zheng continued: "It's a pity, Yang Ge didn't see the benefits of Annan? ”

Yang Rong said with some dissatisfaction: "What benefits, the old man only saw that my Ming soldiers were caught in endless conquests, and every year in order to deal with these wars, the imperial court had to put a lot of silver taels into Annan, and I didn't see half of the benefits?" ”

Yang Zheng smiled impatiently and said: "What is the geographical location of Annan, I believe I don't need to say more, you all know it!" ”

Everyone nodded: "Annan is close to the Ming Dynasty, if it can be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, there will be an additional barrier in the southwest, and the benefits are self-evident?" ”

Yang Zheng turned his head and glanced at Xia Yuanji at this time, and suddenly asked, "Lord Xia, how many people are there in Annan right now?" “

Xia Yuanji has been running the household department for many years, and is very concerned about the population, and the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty has been in Hongwu for three years, and Zhu Yuanzhang has ordered a nationwide census of the population.

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the Lijia system was implemented. On this basis, the population of the whole country is mainly divided into three categories: civilian, military, and artisan, according to the occupations they are engaged in, and a register is carried out. On a household basis, each household lists the township, name, age, dingkou, farmhouse, assets, etc., and registers them one by one. Because of the book given to the household, the cover is made of yellow paper, so it is called the yellow book. According to the regulations, the yellow book is made every ten years, and each volume is made in quadruplicate, and is reported to the household department and the relevant institutions of the province, government and county. Although this system was developed in the household registration system of the Yuan Dynasty, it was very detailed, and the household registration system was very strict, such as "military households", "civilian households", "yin yang households", "happy households" and so on. Each has its own household registration and must not be confused.

In addition, through the implementation of a series of regulations and measures, the early Ming Dynasty also established a strict Yellow Book Lijia system. Before the official compilation of the Yellow Book in the Ming Dynasty, many areas in Jiangnan during the Song and Yuan dynasties also had Lijia organizations, and their establishment was one li for every 100 households, with 1 person as the chief and 10 people as the first one. The compilation of the Yellow Book in the Ming Dynasty was different, but it was based on 110 households. In one mile, 10 people are the head of the first 10 people, and the remaining 100 households are the first of the first, divided into 10 first, and each of the first 1 mile has jurisdiction over 10 of the first 10 heads, and they take turns to serve in 10 years.

The compilation of the Ming Dynasty Yellow Book highlighted the rotation of service, which was an improvement. But compared with the previous Lijia, its organization is more tight. In terms of the content of the Yellow Book, it is divided into two parts, and each part is more detailed than the enlistment books of the past dynasties.

According to the Yellow Book, it is very voluminous, and its main point is the property of the people of the world. The person is the household registration of the previous generation, and the property is the field endowment of the previous generation...... Today's people are detailed in their numbers and not divided into two things, covering the words of the eternals, so they are combined into one line; Now the matter is known, so it is divided into two, and it is reasonable.

In addition, within the scope of the Ming Dynasty's rule, including some ethnic minority areas, almost all of them have created yellow books according to the system. In short, the Yellow Book of Enslavement can be described as detailed, well-organized, and widely implemented, which is actually a peak in the development of the enslavement system in ancient China. Therefore, the population and tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty are extremely clear, and after Ming Chengzu conquered Annan, in order to facilitate the management of Annan, he also adopted the Yellow Book system, so the population is still very clear.

After listening to Yang Zheng's words, he groaned slightly: "No less than a million ......?" “

Yang Zheng said: "Millions of people, if taxes can be collected, is this a first-class benefit?" ”

Yang Rong said: "Millions of people, if you can guard the tax is a great benefit, Chengzu spent 20 years to govern Annan, and he has never received taxes, this benefit is unbearable!" ”

Yang Zheng laughed and said: "If you can't collect taxes, it doesn't mean that you can't collect them, does Yang Ge agree with this?" ”

Yang Rong thought for a while and said: "Annan has a population of one million, not counting those soldiers who hid in the mountains and forests, even if it is a densely populated country, if it can really collect taxes, even if it is the tax of Hongwu Year, there are many benefits?" He nodded and said, "This old man admits this?" ”

In fact, not only did he admit it, but the officials on the field also admitted that if Annan could collect taxes, there would indeed be a lot of benefits, but Annan had not assessed it all these years, and collecting taxes had become a dead letter, so what benefits did he talk about?

Yang Zheng continued to ask: "Elder Yang Ge, the lower officials dare to ask, Annan's biggest problem is to govern this, does Elder Ge agree?" “

Yang Rong as a veteran minister of the Three Dynasties, his vision is extremely sophisticated, Annan is not difficult to fight in the end, they are just a small land, the Ming Lion is a million, it is still not a problem to clean up an Annan, but after laying down Annan, governance is a big headache, because the people are not there, Chengzu spent 20 years in Annan before and after, and the result is that Daming fell into a bottomless abyss, which is also one of the main reasons for him to persuade the army to retreat? Hearing this, he nodded and said: "What Lord Yang said is extremely true, it's not that I can't afford to fight this war, but that I have defeated Annan and can't afford to consume Annan's ...... that has not been well governed for a long time?" ”

Yang Zheng hummed and continued: "Elder Yang Ge, if I have a way to let my Ming Dynasty defeat Annan, I can be governed smoothly, can you do it?" ”

Yang Rong glanced at Yang Zheng and said: "The history of Annan is complicated, people's hearts are unpredictable, it is not easy to appease, I have used it for 20 years to become an ancestor and have no effect, the old man really doesn't believe that Lord Yang can have any good ......?" ”

Yang Zheng said: "It's a matter of people, Cheng Zu spent 20 years governing Annan to get today's result, that's the wrong method, everything needs to be prescribed the right medicine, in order to get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Yang Rong really didn't believe that Yang Zheng could have any good way to govern Annan, but Yang Zheng's ability was indeed not small, which made him a little puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The old man is stupid, he can't see how to prescribe the right medicine, and he asks Lord Yang for guidance!" ”

Yang Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

At this time, everyone also listened to it with interest, and they watched the debate between the two, and even Zhu Zhanji also looked at the lively expression.

Yang Zheng searched in the crowd for a while, his eyes fell on Yang Shiqi's body, and asked with a smile: "Brother Yang, there is one thing that the younger brother never understands, and you still ask Brother Yang to help you point and point?" ”

Everyone listened curiously, Yang Zheng was superb, and if he didn't understand, he couldn't help but be a little more curious about this person he didn't understand, and they listened attentively.

Yang Shiqi smiled and said: "Little Brother Yang doesn't have to be polite, just ask, the old man must know everything, and he will say everything!" ”

Yang Zheng nodded, followed by arching his hand and said, "With Brother Yang's words, I'm relieved?" Said frowned and said: "Little brother wants to ask, they all say that people's hearts are like water, the people are like smoke, the hearts of the people, in fact, the best to grasp, they are like the water in the river, they are changing anytime and anywhere, if they are good, they are clear, and if they are not good, they are muddy, as long as we do it with our hearts, the method is appropriate, and it is not difficult for them to submit to us, why I have been pacifying Annan for 20 years, but this person's heart is not as good as it was at the beginning?" “

This question is a little sharp, Rao is a scholar Yang Shiqi did not know how to answer for a while, to say that the people's will is so, how much the Ming has to bear some responsibility, when the Ming Dynasty was invited by Chen, captured Annam, but Zhu Di did not have the law in management, inevitably disturbed the lives of the people of Annam, plus the officials sent to Vietnam, often with high pressure control, so that the locals feel very distressed, from the records sent back by the officials who sent several times to inspect, "the author (Vietnamese) suffered from the constraints of China, and several officials intruded, Often attached to the thief, at first glance subdued and rebelled. ”
