Autumn is getting stronger, golden everywhere, the sky is spotless blue canopy, it is considered to be autumn high and refreshing, the wind rolls long, and there are dead leaves to fly first.

The soil in the upper reaches of the Fen River is still fertile, and more than half of the crops in the fields have grown, and some farmers have the courage to come out to harvest wheat and grain.

This area is occupied by the Dahua soldiers, and there is no longer the scourge of war, but the people are still very afraid, and they don't know if Dahua's army is also like other rebel armies, where they go, burning, killing, looting, robbing houses, doing a lot of evil, and they are not much stronger than bandits.

In many local uprisings in history, although the slogan was to overthrow the imperial court, what they did may have hurt the people even more.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao rebelled, after entering Chang'an City, showing a bloody face, at first plundering and killing Tang clan relatives and officials, seeing that Huangchao did not prohibit it, it became more and more rampant, and began to plunder ordinary people, killing people and goods on the streets of Chang'an, and forcing men and women. During this period, the people could not cultivate the land under the jurisdiction of the Huangchao Army, and there was a scene of thousands of miles of red land in the Guannei.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong, an insurrectionist at the end of the Ming Dynasty, was even more murderous, and when he went out of Sichuan, he suspected that there were many women in various military camps, and he killed as many as 100,000 women every day. Wherever the army passed, countless women were raped and killed, the people were displaced, and the land of Guangchuan and Shu died in the war, famine, and plague of nearly one million.

On this day, Luo Zhaoyun went out of the city, took some civil ministers and military generals, and collected the people's sentiments for dozens of miles south of Qi County.

Seeing the frightened appearance of the people, he waved his hand slightly and said: "Fellow villagers, you can farm normally, and wherever the Chinese army passes, there is no offense in autumn, so don't worry." ”

"Xie, General Xie—"

"General Xie!"

Many people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, they began to worry about being captured and confiscated into the army, or being killed to rob them of rations, but these troops really did not seem to have any ill will towards them, and after kneeling and thanking, they were a lot more relaxed.

These people didn't know that this was the emperor of Dahua, so they shouted generals, in fact, Luo Zhaoyun was indeed wearing battle armor, riding a white horse with a jade night lion, and a cold iron and silver spear hanging on the saddle victory hook, showing the demeanor of a military general of the three armies.

Leaving the farmhouse and coming to a hillside, Luo Zhaoyun dismounted, looked at this piece of Fenhe Plain, felt the simplicity of the people, and felt the heart of unification even stronger.

"Alas, I can't imagine that the Great Sui was prosperous for a while, and finally collapsed so quickly, it is really a lot of injustice and will kill itself." When Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu talked about it in private, he couldn't help but sigh, although he was not an important minister of the Great Sui, and even during the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he was just a small official, but after all, he was full of history books and had the talent to govern the world, and he still had some feelings about the change of the times.

Luo Zhaoyun heard this, nodded slightly, with his understanding of history, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, he really did a lot of great things, and now the world despises the Sui Dynasty a lot, and regards the Tang Dynasty as a god, which is actually a bit biased, and there are some artificial distortions in the view of history.

The Sui Dynasty was weakened by the selfishness of the gate lords and the uninterrupted foreign wars, which was not unrelated to Yang Guang's stubbornness and self-use, but the social contradictions were not completely resolved, which was also a deep reason. Although it fell in two lifetimes, there were many advanced features in the political system of the empire, which were later absorbed by the Tang, and the Tang benefited a lot from the Sui, and to some extent, the Tang was actually an extension of the Sui, so the historians often refer to the two as "Sui and Tang".

The establishment of the Great Sui ended the situation of division and separatism for more than 270 years since the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, established a unified dynasty, unified the north and the south, and promoted the integration of various ethnic groups. The people who had suffered from the war were able to recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment, and the population grew rapidly and travel was unprecedentedly prosperous.

When Luo Zhaoyun traveled back, it was the peak of the Great Sui, and he personally felt the national strength and strength of the Sui Dynasty, many systems were relatively perfect, and even many measures were worthy of his reference and absorption. For example, absorbing Shu landlords to participate in politics and restricting the political privileges of Shi landlords; Strengthen local control and change the previous three-level local institutions at the state, county and county levels to a two-level system at the state and county levels; The elimination of redundant officials has saved government expenditure and strengthened administrative efficiency; Later, it was stipulated that officials below the sixth grade in the country were also selected and appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and local officials were not allowed to use their own bureaucrats, completely abolishing the "rejuvenation" system of monopolizing the appointment and dismissal of grass-roots officials by the Haoqiang clan since the Han Dynasty.

The system of six ministries in the three provinces, the imperial examination system, the uniform field system, the regulation of rents, the reading of the appearance of the great suo, and the determination of the loss of nationality, etc., all set a precedent in the Sui Dynasty, which promoted the development of the country and the multiplication of the people. It was originally a good dynasty, but unfortunately, its overturning speed was too sudden, like a tsunami, and it collapsed in an instant.

Luo Zhaoyun has personally experienced these changes and historical events, which are like a dream, full of absurdity and cruelty.

"You can't be in a hurry, you can't be conceited!" Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly, he personally participated in Yang Guang's seizure of power, his ascension to the throne, the grand plan of the great cause, the southern conquest and the northern war, the northern resistance to the Turks, the western extermination of Tuyuhun, the suppression of all kinds of rebel armies, and finally, to replace him.

"Your Majesty, are you going to collect grain here?" Xiao Yu walked up and asked.

"Yes, our grain road is too long, and it is not safe, it is very important, so we should take precautions!" Luo Zhaoyun sighed softly, he was a cautious person, after some intelligence from the north, he became more and more worried about the matter of grain and grass, so he planned to send someone to collect grain and grass privately and collect it in various counties, so as to be prepared.
