Li Shimin saw these numbers one by one, and then it was easy to deduce that the pressure on those people was getting bigger and bigger. According to those policies in ancient times, the common people had to prepare their own food when they undertook conscription, that is, when they worked for the government. But they no longer have land, how can they have food? At that time, they not only had to bear the burden of conscription, but also had to find ways to raise money to buy food to work for the government. If at this time, some disasters come again, then countless people will become homeless, once there is no food and clothing, as long as some careerists are slightly provoked, then the world will not be in chaos?

"Your Majesty, judging from the reasoning here, these lands are going to flow into the hands of a small number of people. The land was constant, but it was more and more concentrated in the hands of a few. And what kind of people are these small number of people, should the emperor understand? And these small number of people, the land in their hands, it seems that they don't have to pay taxes! Jingwen said.

At this time, Yang Jia also added, saying: "I checked the information of our county below, and at that time, in the early days of the Sui Dynasty, there were still many hukou who owned land. By the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the number of households owning land also decreased, and land became more and more concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. Moreover, those lands were more concentrated on the nobles and officials. Even our magistrate is worth a lot. ”

Although Yang Jia only represents a county, I am afraid that this county is also a portrayal of all counties in the world. Privileged classes such as officials and nobles became more and more greedy, and then concentrated the land in their own hands. But many more people were landless. But the privileged classes did not have to pay taxes or have to be subject to conscription. The rest of the taxes are even more imposed on ordinary people, who own less than 10% of the world's wealth, but in the end they have to bear 100% of the taxes, can this pressure not be too great?

Jingwen immediately wrote the words "the world is in chaos" under the population, and then drew a downward arrow on the population side, indicating that the population was decreasing.

And Li Shimin and those little officials immediately understood that this was because of the wars everywhere, so the population of the world had decreased. Whether he was pulled into the army or died for some reason. In short, the population is decreasing.

"That's right. My county reached its peak during the Kaihuang period, and by the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population was getting smaller and smaller. Yang Jia said again.

And Jingwen immediately said: "Since the land is constant, then we can only make a fuss from the population." But how the population is decreasing. This is obviously not possible. The population is growing. Normal means cannot be reduced. Because. Even the emperor can't let the people kill themselves, right? As a result, the contradictions increased here, and finally the grain land became more and more concentrated. The people could no longer survive, coupled with a natural and man-made disaster, instigated by some conspirators, and finally they could only rebel. ”

And rebellion is often the beginning of troubled times. From the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after which the princes were divided. The same was true in the former Sui period, when the princes divided after the people rebelled. And in order to unify the world, they can only fight everywhere in the end. And after the war, the population decreased again. As the population decreases, so does the population pressure that can be carried by the constant land. And the people will also be able to harvest the land in the new dynasty, that is, they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. And this is also the so-called saying that after the great chaos, there will be great governance. And you can find that many of the so-called prosperous times are built after the troubled times. The rule of Wenjing, the prosperity of Guangwu, the rule of the emperor, and even other prosperous times, which time was not established after the troubled times? Jingwen asked.

And Li Shimin immediately reacted, and then asked: "Do you mean, even if my Datang is lying down and doing nothing, can I get a prosperous world?" ”

Jingwen also replied: "Your Majesty, even if you don't do anything or care about anything, you can still get a prosperous era, and you can also get the title of a Ming Jun." ”

Li Shimin sighed, he finally knew that Mingjun's title was so cheap. Li Shimin also knew that these so-called prosperous times and so-called Ming Jun were all deceitful. It's just that it takes advantage of the time and place, and nothing else. At most, they can have the last laugh in the troubled times, and then as long as they don't die themselves, it's not a big problem. However, how many of a person who can dominate the world in troubled times will die by himself? This also led to the arrival of a prosperous era, and this prosperous era has little to do with the ability of that emperor. Even if the founding monarch died early, it would still be the emperor behind the cheap. Because this time is the time of day. Li Shimin also knew that even if he didn't do anything, he would usher in a prosperous era, but this made Li Shimin feel like picking up a bargain, and he didn't have any sense of accomplishment.

As a hero, he naturally scoffed at this kind of cheap thing, but now he actually picked up a big bargain, which has to be said to be speechless. But Li Shimin looked at the white paper that had been smeared many times, and then analyzed it in his heart.

Soon, Li Shimin said tremblingly: "You mean, I'm afraid that my Tang Dynasty will follow in the footsteps of those previous dynasties?" ”

Since Li Shimin, under the guidance of Jingwen, has figured out the reasons for the so-called prosperous and troubled times, Li Shimin immediately began to wonder what would happen to his Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty seems to be no different from the previous dynasties, it is all the same. I am afraid that it will not be long before the land will be annexed, and then the people will be left without land again. Li Shimin was soon able to deduce that the newly increased population had no land, and the land was more and more concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and the equalization of land was destroyed from then on. Once the uniform field system is destroyed, the people still have to bear all kinds of conscription and military service, so isn't the people getting poorer and poorer?

And in this way, what is the difference between the Tang Dynasty and those previous dynasties? They all followed the same path, and then Datang still has the same reincarnation fate?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that if you don't interfere, then Datang will still follow the same fate!" Jingwen said affirmatively.

Li Shimin suddenly felt a gold star in his eyes, and then his throat was sweet, and he actually vomited out a mouthful of blood!

"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "It's all you, who made the emperor so angry that he vomited blood!" "Come on, get these guys up!"

Soon, a group of guards came over and prepared Jingwen and they were arrested. But Li Shimin waved his hand, obviously signaling the guards not to arrest people. (To be continued......)
