Chapter 23 The Land of the Great Sui

Before the Great Sui, there was a rebellion of the Nine Kingdoms that lasted for more than 200 years, the Song State, the Qi State, the Liang State, the Chen State, the Eastern Wei State, the Western Wei State, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi State, and the Northern Sui State. Before the Nine Kingdoms, there was a short period of more than 50 years of unification of the Jin Dynasty, before the Jin Dynasty, it was the famous Three Kingdoms period in history, and before the Three Kingdoms, it was the Han Dynasty, a famous dynasty in history!

The Han Dynasty was prosperous and had a vast territory, leaving too many legends in history. There are literati and, there are military generals to compete, Wen Ke Anbang, immediately open up the territory, until now, there are still countless men yearning for the Han Dynasty drowned in the long river of history.

It's a pity that the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. The trajectory of a dynasty's fate is not much different from the trajectory of a person's life, both of which are troubled by birth, old age, sickness and death.

People, from ignorant birth, to youthful exuberance, to middle-aged and declining, the same is true of dynasties.

The Han Dynasty fell ill in the later period, the foreign relatives were autocratic, the eunuchs were in charge, and the ministers were greedy for ink, and finally fell ill, a large number of scholars were born, and began to devour the entire dynasty, after a period of chaos, and finally formed the situation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, at that time, the Han Dynasty had existed in name only.

Stealing the three kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, one is the Han royal family, the other is a high-ranking official in the Han temple, and the other is a powerful county in the Han Dynasty.

Since then, the Gaomen clan has begun to step onto the stage of power.

The struggle between the three kingdoms ended in a victory for Wei, but less than a decade later, Wei was usurped by the powerful minister Sima and established the Jin dynasty.

The reunification was very short-lived, less than 60 years.

Immediately afterwards, these high-ranking officials, scholars, and gate lords appeared, but this time it was revenge, and the descendants of the former Wei State surnamed Cao usurped the power of the Jin Dynasty this time. It's a pity that the brothers didn't share the spoils evenly, so they had to split the land and divide the territory, and according to the direction they occupied, they were called the Western Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After that, the original territory of the Jin State on the split of the territory intensified, because the descendants of the surname Cao, who inherited the main strength of the Jin State, were divided into three families, each of which was not strong enough to suppress the rebellion, and his own family was afraid of being calculated by others, so he had to let this situation happen, and finally formed a situation of separation of the nine countries.

During the short period of reunification, they were busy suppressing and mediating, and they simply did not have the time and opportunity to digest the strength of the state, to cultivate the strength of the country, and to unite the people of the country.

The Northern Sui was born in this chaotic period.

The surname Yang of the Northern Sui royal family is a powerful family with intricate roots in the two Liao, and the local Liu family, Xue family, and Yuwen family are called the local four major gate valves. Among them, the strength of the Liujia gate valve is the smallest, and then, the gate valve is tilted against each other, the power of the Liu family is gradually squeezed, and the remnants of the Liu's breath, and finally in the Central Plains War, the Yuwen family was able to re-emerge after the unification of the Central Plains, but Liu's father has been tired of seeing the gate valve separation, the situation of mutual tilting, and then the family left Suiyang, the capital of the Great Sui State, and moved to Longyou City, northwest of Suiyang, and slowly recuperated and developed his family.

At the same time, the Yuwen family and the Xue family, who followed the Northern Sui to win the Central Plains together, have been unified by the Great Sui for less than 20 years, and their family power has expanded to the extreme.

Wen Youxue's family controls the temple, and Wu Youyu's Wen family holds 300,000 iron horses from the Great Sui.

In the national war to unify the Central Plains, in the face of the old gate lord forces of the remaining eight countries, the Northern Sui adopted the strategy of killing a group, winning over a group, and isolating a group, which greatly reduced the pressure of resistance, and even some cities simply opened the city to welcome the entry of the Northern Sui army.

The national war, in fact, is the reshuffle of the gate valve forces!

In the end, after the Great Sui Dynasty won the Central Plains 20 years ago, the Northern Sui changed the name of the country to Sui and established the provincial system, the country was divided into 26 provinces, the province was divided into counties and counties, and the temple set up three provinces and six ministries, the territory area expanded several times, the population under its jurisdiction expanded several times, and the subsequent expansion of the gate valve power several times.

At present, the top gate valve forces, Sui Yang and Liangliao are naturally dominated by the Yuwen and Xue families except for the Liu family, the Li family, the Du family, and the Fang family are the main ones in the northwest, and the southern territory is basically dominated by the original gate valve forces, the Liang family, the Wang family, the Xie family, and the Chen family, and the eastern territory of the country is mainly dominated by the Wei family, the Qi family, and the Lu family. After careful calculation, there are already twelve top gate valves, not to mention countless small gate valves and small families, all of which are dependent on these high-ranking families to survive.

It is the existence of the gate valve that provides enough financial support for the Northern Sui, which means soldiers, generals, and grain and grass, without these, it is impossible for the Northern Sui to win the Central Plains.

And the Great Sui Emperor sitting in the imperial study is probably not thinking of the credit of these gate valve forces at this moment!

Looking at the sealed report in front of him, the expression on the face of the Great Sui Emperor did not change in the slightest, but deep down in his heart, he was shocked and secretly frightened. The secret newspaper was written about the actions of the people in various parts of the imperial dynasty, the rogue and the landlord forces.

Gate valves are indeed a big evil!

This reminded the emperor of Xue Changxing, the prime minister of the dynasty, who once said about the power of the gate valve.

This Xue Changxing is not simple, it was he who helped the emperor govern the country from the beginning when the Great Sui was still the Northern Sui, and together with Yu Wenhua, the Northern Sui won the national war.

On top of the temple of the Northern Sui Dynasty, Xue Changxing at that time put forward the "fart theory" that had been laughed at by the entire government and the opposition for a month. He said that governing the country and regulating people's bodies is a truth, and Qi Shun is the key. If a person's anger is smooth, he will fart, and if his anger is not smooth, if he can't let out a fart, he will continue to accumulate damage in the body, and eventually this person will be sick and die. If the Northern Sui wants to be smooth, the first thing is to give the entire Northern Sui a smooth air, especially those low-level poor people, to make these people's qi smooth, in order to unite the people, and finally win the world. For this reason, he went to the Northern Sui Emperor, suggested that the military merits should be emphasized, and the people should be opened up to join the army, and the system of sergeants relying on military merits in exchange for rich titles was immovable to be implemented, and since then the people of the two Liao have enthusiastically joined the army, coupled with the bitter cold of the Liao region, the people have high combat effectiveness, and the strength of the Northern Sui army composed of this is naturally not to be underestimated, plus Yu Wenhua and such generals, the leading sergeants during the national war are really invincible and invincible!

This is about the military, and in terms of civilian governance, Xue Changxing, who put forward the fart theory, has a wonderful discussion on the gate valve. He said that the power of the gate valve is equivalent to the stomach and intestines of the human body, and it is at the key node of the fart channel, if this node can be unimpeded, natural and smooth, and can eliminate the waste in the body on time, the dynasty can also continue to digest the obsolete and useless things through this system, but if there is a problem with this node, let the gastrointestinal system be disordered, not to say that it can not fart on time, and often fart, which makes people miserable, and finally it is a big problem. Looking at the wars and turmoil in the Central Plains for more than 300 years, it is just a history of continuous reshuffling of the cards of the departmental forces. Correctly treating and solving the gate valve forces is the long-term solution of a country!

Oh, yes! Now, my good policies for governing the country are all stinky farts to the people! The Great Sui Emperor smiled bitterly.
