"As you said, it is not a day's work to unify a quarter of the world, but it is necessary to start doing it immediately in order to truly realize it." You say, "Yes?" Yang Jian solemnly admonished his two sons.

"The sons remember the teachings of their father, and are willing to share their worries for their father, serve the imperial court, and realize the grand ambition of true unification of the world as soon as possible." Yang Guang and Yang Liang stood up in unison and replied in unison.

Indeed, as Yang Jian taught his two sons, in addition to the military intention of subduing the northern vassal states led by the Eastern Turks by force to continue to pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty, as he said, he wanted to encircle the wealthy right and marching soldiers in Hebei to truly be loyal to the Great Sui and condense the world into a unified situation.

Therefore, during his northern tour, Yang Jian took Yang Guang and Yang Liang brothers to almost all 19 state capitals under the rule of Xingtai in Hebei Province, and met with representatives of dozens of wealthy families, including the Fanyang Lu clan, the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Bohai Gao clan, and the Feng clan, to understand and solicit from them what measures the imperial court wanted to take to unify the world after destroying the Southern Chen and realizing the military reunification of the north and the south.

When Yang Jian finished his trip to the state and returned to Chang'an with Yang Liang, he had already ordered Gao Ying and others who accompanied him to start drafting the edict for the implementation of the new policy.

After the destruction of Chen, Yang Jian wanted to implement two main new policies: the naturalization of soldiers and the selection of scholars in the imperial examination.

Among them, the naturalization of soldiers was first proposed by Gao Ying to Yang Jian. The reason is also that the Great Suo Maung Yue, which began to be implemented in the five years of the emperor's reign.

Gao Ying's real intention in proposing to the imperial court to implement the Dasuo Maung Yue was to find out and verify the household registration and number of people in the country, and lay the foundation for the next step in formulating the field law. In the four years since the implementation of the Great Suo Maung Yue, although hundreds of thousands of new people who voluntarily attached themselves to the family in order to avoid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been discovered, and the plight of these new people who have no land to grow has been alleviated to a certain extent through the implementation of the corresponding law of losing their nationality, it is still difficult to accurately verify the total population of the whole country.

Gao Ying once served as the generalissimo in the battle of Chen, and was no stranger to the affairs of the army, and when discussing the government with Yang Jian and the two ministers after the success of the Chen, he proposed that since the end of the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, all those who joined the army, regardless of where they came from, were all organized into military households, stationed with the army, and no longer the people of the imperial court. Over time, generations have multiplied, and thousands of forts have been formed throughout the country, with military households and their families as the main body. Military households have not been engaged in agriculture for generations, but they have become a special group that does not pay taxes to the imperial court and does not make a household register. This is extremely unfavorable to Yang Jian's ambition to realize the true unification of the world.

In view of this, Gao Ying suggested to Yang Jian, regardless of whether the military or the civilian population was to be assigned to the place of origin, to promote the naturalization of soldiers and military households, and to strengthen the management of population and household registration, so as to achieve the goal that all the military and civilians in the world are under the control of the imperial court.

After choosing to go to the people in Hebei to conduct field investigations, Yang Jian decided to adopt Gao Ying's suggestion, and officially issued an edict in the tenth year of the emperor's reign to promote the naturalization of soldiers and military households nationwide, completely changing the situation of the separation of military and civilian personnel in the previous 300 years, and the situation that soldiers and military households were not included in the list of the imperial court and the people, and at the same time laid an important foreshadowing for the gradual transformation of the military system of the Sui and Tang dynasties to the conscription system.

Regarding the imperial examination, it was actually proposed by Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

The reason why Yang Guang thought of suggesting to his father Yang Jian, wanting to open the imperial examination to recruit scholars, and using the method of selecting talents by examination to recruit talents for the imperial court, the original reason was that he accompanied Yang Jian to the north and annexed the state not long after, and unexpectedly learned that Jiang Tuozi, who was forcibly taken captive by the Turks outside the Guanwai as early as the fourth year of the emperor, was reused by the Turkic Dynasty in the Turkic Dynasty, and suggested to Mohe Khan that the implementation of the pastoral system in the Eastern Turkic country greatly enhanced the national and military strength of the Eastern Turks. Three grades of official residence.

Yang Guang clearly remembered that Jiang Tuozi had been kind to him long before his father Yang Jian ascended to the pole, and was taken back to Chang'an by Yang Jian and placed in his own mansion.

The old Jin Dynasty is well known in the palace, this was born in the northern border of an ordinary florist's family of Xiucai full of wealth, known as the ambition of the country, and also had a relationship with the dignitaries of the court (and later became the emperor), but one is because he was born in the Shu people, the common family, and the other because of his disability, in Chang'an has never been reused, can only live by planting flowers.

Unexpectedly, five or six years ago, Jiang Tuozi was forcibly captured by the Turkic army outside the Guan, but instead achieved a completely different life for him: helping the once declining Eastern Turks become strong again.

From Jiang Tuozi's incident, Yang Guang felt a strong shock in his heart, and he could understand why Jiang Tuozi, after being appreciated and reused by Yuwen Prajna, ignored the fact that his hometown had been repeatedly robbed by the Turkic iron cavalry for many years, and turned to help the Turks achieve a resurgence.

Thinking of Hebei, Kanto, including Jiangnan and other places that had only been pacified for a short time, there were countless scholars like Jiang Tuozi who were limited by the long-established probation system and found it difficult to get the opportunity to use what they had learned in their lives and serve the imperial court.

However, Yang Guang's recital was not as approved and adopted by Yang Jian as Gao Ying's recital on the promotion of military naturalization, and it was quickly implemented.

The reason for this is that Yang Guang mentioned in this recital that the imperial examination was too big and that he had never made an unprecedented proposal to evaluate the high and low regardless of the high or low, but the practice of evaluating the high and low by several examinations was incompatible with the fact that he was born in a noble family at that time, and the deeper reason was that Yang Jian had handed over the country's soldiers and horses to his second son Yang Guang, so he refused to adopt his suggestions in the field of cultural governance, so as to avoid triggering more fierce discussions and opposition between the government and the opposition about Yi Chu, and causing unnecessary turmoil to the court situation.

Therefore, Yang Guang's recital was played for three years in several cases of Yang Jian in Linde Palace, and it did not receive due attention.

And Yang Guang himself, because soon after ordering someone to send this piece back to Chang'an, he got an anti-poem inscribed by the Turkic Kehe Dunyuwen Prajna on the gold-lacquered firewood sandalwood screen that Yang Jian gave her, and had to focus his attention on the Turks and Yuwen Prajna, and had no time to take care of the imperial examination.
