In 889 AD, the first year of the Dragon Era of Tang Zhaozong, the first year of Yuduo Kuanping, the lord of the Yamato Kingdom of the Eleventh District.

Everyone who reads the book sees this, you must know that the author is jumping time again, well, that's right, this time it jumped for a total of seventy-two years, in an ancient time unit, it is six epochs (note: one epoch and twelve years).

Okay, let's continue our story.

The world is about to enter the 10th century AD, and speaking of which, 194 years have passed since Shang Yang came to Yamato in 695 AD, that is, the first year of the Heavenly Empress Heavenly Book Long Live Heaven.

Although two hundred years of time does not have much real sense for Shangyang itself, for this ever-changing world, two hundred years, although it will not be a vicissitude, but it can also change the world.

I have to say that Shang Yang's move to deal with the Anshi Rebellion was quite effective, and the Tang Empire did not suddenly decline at its peak like Shang Yang's world line, leaving endless regrets for future generations, but entered a "period of oscillation". Its specific expression is that since the death of the sage of Xuanzong in the past hundred years, the national strength of the Tang Empire has increased and decreased, although it cannot be said to be a hundred years of prosperity, but on the whole, in the past hundred years, there have been no events that have shaken the foundation of the Tang Empire.

There are two main reasons for this situation, the first is that although the Tang Tianzi after Xuanzong has mediocre people, there are wise people and more determined innovators. The Anshi Rebellion was quickly put down, and the Tang Empire was not as devastated as the original world line, and in the last thirteen years of his life, Xuanzong recalled the ambition and pride of his first ascension to the Great Treasure, and reorganized the two major problems of bureaucratic corruption and the generals' special army since the early years of Tianbao.

The original world-famous Late Tang Dynasty Domain was extinguished by Xuanzong, one of the most brilliant sages in the history of the Takamagahara Tang Empire, when it was just sprouting. After Xuanzong, the successor Tang Suzong and the Tang Dynasty two generations of sages were mediocre, although there was no major chaos during their reign, but these two generations of Middle-earth sages could not handle the internal affairs of some empires well, during this period, the national strength of the Gao Tianyuan Tang Empire declined.

However, with the accession of Tang Dezong, Tang Shunzong, and Tang Xianzong, three rather virtuous Middle-earth saints, the impression of the unparalleled world's first empire of the Tang Empire of the High Heaven Yuan has penetrated deeper into the entire Asian countries, especially after the accession of Tang Xianzong, who can be called "Shengming".

On the one hand, the Takamagahara Tang Empire formed a strong military oppression and political oppression against the Arab Empire Abbasid Dynasty in Central Asia, forcing the Arab Empire to almost withdraw from Central Asia, and even Byzantium (Eastern Roman Empire) directly felt the powerful power of the Takamagahara Tang Empire, and the glory of the Tang Dynasty shone on the entire Central Asia.

On the other hand, the sailors of the Takamagahara Tang Empire made all of Southeast Asia subject to the Takamagahara Tang Empire, and the glory of the Tang Dynasty spread over the Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Atlantic.

On this world line where the Anshi Rebellion was quickly pacified, and 134 years after the Anshi Rebellion, the Takamagahara-Tang Empire, after a hundred years of precipitation, became a behemoth stronger than the Tang Dynasty.

The place where the wind blows is the Tang Dynasty. ①

In this regard, even Shang Yang, who was canonized as the Great Teacher of the Tang Dynasty (2) by Xuanzong, was quite speechless, but he didn't expect that on this world line, the Gao Tianyuan Tang Empire, which had no vitality and was not greatly injured, was actually such a bunker.

Of course, Shang Yang knew very well that just by quelling the Anshi Rebellion in a short period of time, it was impossible for the Gao Tianyuan Tang Empire, which was originally mired in eunuch chaos and feudal town division, to become such a bunker, and there was naturally a deeper reason, which originated from himself, and it was also the second reason why the national strength of the Gao Tianyuan Tang Empire entered the "shock period".

Although the Anshi Rebellion was quickly quelled, the Anshi Rebellion was not an emergency in the first place, it was the general outbreak of a series of internal problems since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, but with its end, one thing remained unchanged whether it was the original world line or the world line, that is, the collapse of the Juntian system (3).

The collapse of the equalization system is the inevitable result of land annexation, and land annexation is the nightmare of thousands of years of division and merger of my big flower planters (4).

The evil consequences of land annexation can be clearly understood by asking Du Niang, this thing will first lead the feudal court to introduce various restrictive policies to ease land annexation.

If it is more famous, there is the Juntian system of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (5), the Song Dynasty Wang Anshi reform, and the Ming Dynasty Zhang Juzheng's "one whip method". Even these restrictive policies could only serve as a temporary moderation, and when the land annexation eventually reached a point where it could not be eased, it would lead to a peasant uprising.

Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, land annexation has been quite strict, just to quell the Anshi Rebellion, but it cannot change the fact that the land in the world is more and more concentrated in the hands of scholars and big landlords, and the land owned by yeoman farmers is getting less and less, even without the problem of feudal towns and eunuchs, the Tang Empire of Gao Tianyuan will eventually perish in waves of peasant uprisings.

This is the reason why the Central Plains has not used dynasties for thousands of years since ancient times, and it is also the "Mandate of Heaven" that mortals cannot resist, the rise and fall of dynasties.

Shang Yang naturally understands the reason for this, and naturally, he has no good way to stop the process of land annexation, unless Shang Yang cleans the scholars and big landowners of the Tang Dynasty every few decades. Shang Yang is not interested in this kind of stupid method, but Shang Yang has a way to end this nightmare of thousands of years of separation.

Remember the many chambers of commerce left by Shang Yang, when the Tang Empire of Gao Tianyuan was stable for a long time, the development of commerce would be faster than imagined, and the social environment of stability would lead to the prosperity of commerce, which is also an unchangeable historical law, and at the right time, Shang Yang would take out some technology and hand over the anthropomorphic form he mastered.

As in many novels about alternate history, new technologies bring huge profits, and huge profits allow merchants to build larger production bases, and larger production bases bring greater profits, and thriving commerce and manufacturing absorb large numbers of people, and then naturally contradict the inherent landlords. Although the scholars, doctors, and landlords who had always occupied the ruling class of the country would spontaneously use their influence to make the state restrict the development of commerce.

PS: (1) This sentence is a tribute to an alternate historical novel that Ning Chu first read that traveled to the Tang Dynasty; (2) This content was not mentioned earlier, but there is nothing to say, Xuanzong's canonization of Shang Yang is only a "posthumous seal" after that, and it has no impact on the main plot; (3) Juntian system or something, everyone Baidu (Wangtian) by themselves. (4) The homonym of the flower family is the Chinese family, which comes from the rabbit bar; (5) Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, well, the leader of the Sinicization group of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the man who marked the Xianbei people with a sinicization patch (correct).

This week continues to be updated to respond to the world, these two chapters are a beautiful conjecture of Ning Chu's Tang Dynasty guided by Shang Yang, and the details are not particularly detailed, but roughly discussed, after all, Ning Chu's book is written about animation~ (laughs.)
