Luo Su looked at the atlas of information he took from everywhere in his hand, the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and the more he looked at it, the more he didn't squeak.

Some of these things in his hand were the materials that Luo took away when he moved away, including a large number of field registers about the Central Plains, as well as many field registers that others "took the initiative" to offer.

The latest is naturally the data from Dutian in the Sui Dynasty, which is not available in all states and counties in the world, but Guanzhong is relatively complete, and the officials in Guanzhong are more sensible, so they "took the initiative" to serve it without much effort.

Choosing Guanzhong to investigate, first, Guanzhong is easy to get the investigation by the way, and second, since the Qin Dynasty, Guanzhong, as the imperial capital, has less hidden land, unlike Kanto and Jiangnan, where there are a large number of scholars hiding land.

As soon as Luo Xuanjing saw Luo Su's expression, he knew that something was wrong, and asked curiously, "Ancestor, this Sui Dynasty data is wrong?" Is there a serious hiding of land and population? ”

Luo Su shook his head solemnly, and said heavily: "The situation is more serious than this, there are too many lands in the Sui Dynasty. ”

Yes?

Luo Xuanjing's face was full of question marks, isn't it a good thing to have more land, Luo Su said solemnly: "It should be said that there is too much land on the books."

If we say that in the Later Han Dynasty, there were 2 million hectares of land in Guanzhong, and the various countries that ruled Guanzhong after that fluctuated between 1.8 million and 2.5 million.

As a result, the Sui Dynasty now counts that there are 6 million hectares of land in Guanzhong, do you think this is a big problem? ”

Luo Xuanjing's fair little face had lost half of her smile, only dumbfounded, she was shocked by what Luo Su said.

Involuntarily blurted out: "The Sui Dynasty is crazy? ”

Yang Jian is crazy!

This is the common idea of Luo Xuanjing and Luo Su.

The big families and those big and wealthy families hide their land, at most one-fifth of the land, even if Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty has a lot of strength, but even if all the big families in the world go bankrupt, they can't save so much land.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan.

The area of the Guanzhong Plain is not large, there are 3 million hectares of farmland, and every inch of land has to be used.

How can there be six million hectares of land, if there is so much land in the North China Plain of Kanto, it is still credible.

These lands are not simply recorded, these are subject to taxation, the land area has increased several times, and then the tax is collected, isn't this a natural increase of several times the heavy tax?

Luo Xuanjing came back to his senses and asked suspiciously: "Ancestor, the imperial court collects such a heavy tax, coupled with the exploitation that the local officials are destined to have, as well as the harvest of those big households, it stands to reason that the Sui Dynasty should have been everywhere for a long time, and now it seems that it is relatively stable, which is obviously not right." ”

Luo Su nodded and said: "You are right, this has to mention the two imperial rulers of the Son of Heaven Yang Jian and Empress Dugu Jialuo, they advocate frugality, so they have not wantonly mobilized the people's people's power.

Moreover, Yang Jian lowered the tax rate a lot, which led to the fact that although the overall tax rate of the Sui Dynasty was high, it did not really increase several times.

The most important thing is that it is still the early days of the dynasty, the politics are still clear, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo are not the kind of mediocre monarchs, so the situation in the Sui Dynasty is still relatively stable. ”

Luo Xuanjing breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little briskly: "That's okay, I thought that the people are so tolerant now, and they don't rebel against several times the heavy taxes, then our Luo clan has really been propaganda for more than a thousand years." ”

Luo Su didn't relax in the slightest, and still frowned: "The Sui Dynasty is now stable on the surface, but there is an extremely deep crisis in the interior, which is no less than the middle of Qin Shi Huang's reign.

This is several times more than the actual number of fields, and it is a source of crisis that may collapse the Sui Dynasty at any time, and the current Sui Dynasty is like a person standing on an egg and dancing, in case a son of heaven really believes this data.

He also has great ambitions, and if he really collects taxes according to this data, then the entire Sui Dynasty will crack up in just a few years, and finally form the situation at the end of Qin, maybe it's not likely.

The second son of heaven of the Sui Dynasty is too critical, he must not be a person like Hu Hai, even if he comes to Fusu, at least listen to persuasion. ”

This is the first time that Luo Su feels that things are a little unexpected by himself, when he went out of the mountain, he also pondered to find a suitable angle to bind deeply with the Sui Dynasty, but only a little research, he found that the Sui Dynasty had just opened the country, and it looked like a dead country.

This kind of hole dug by the founding monarch for the dynasty, and it will erupt in just twenty or thirty years, and it may destabilize the entire empire, Luo Su feels that he has really seen a lot.

There is a big problem with the Sui Dynasty!

There is a big problem with the emperor of the Sui Dynasty!

Luo Xuanjing's white and slender fingers as long as onion roots unconsciously flicked the beads of the abacus, listened to Luo Su's analysis, and asked with a frown: "Ancestor, is it difficult to solve these problems?" ”

Luo Su closed the account in his hand and slowly muttered: "You need a very outstanding king, he not only has outstanding ability, but also has the quality of perseverance, a person who only wants to retreat when he encounters setbacks cannot be an excellent king." ”

Luo Xuanjing's eyes rolled, and he asked curiously: "Old Ancestor, if it is a monarch like King Zhou Yi and Emperor Xiaohui of Hanrenzong, it is probably okay, right?" ”

Luo Su was stunned, the two monarchs exemplified by Luo Xuanjing are extremely famous in history, monarchs who rule by inaction, basically have never really mastered power in their lives, King Zhou Yi has Luo Xuangong regent, Emperor Hanrenzong Xiaohui, Empress Han Gao and King Luowen in the front, and King Luowen in the back to assist him, they only need to be sealed.

Luo Su understood that Luo Xuanjing was saying that if Luo was regent, then these problems could also be solved, he shook his head and said, "It's difficult, it's difficult.

The family has been regent four times, King Su and I don't mention it, we haven't been regent for a long time, but only a few years.

The remaining Ah Cheng and Ah Xin were because they met monarchs like King Zhou Yi and Emperor Han Xiaohui, who had little desire for power, and their relationship was like that of father and son.

That King Yi of Zhou and Emperor Xiaohui of Han, don't think they are mediocre, they are all rare kind of monarchs.

The biggest advantage is that he is not suspicious, although his ears are soft, but when it comes to Ah Cheng and Ah Xin, he will not change his trust.

What the monarch is most afraid of is that his ears are soft, incompetent and suspicious, and no matter how many loyal ministers he has, he will die.

No matter how strong my Luo clan is, when I encounter such a suspicious monarch, I can only leave the center.

And how many suspicious people are, or how many people in this world are not suspicious?

Instead of expecting the emergence of those undoubting monarchs in the future, it is better to expect those outstanding monarchs to appear, see the value of my Luo's, and then cooperate well to drive the big ship of the dynasty together. ”

"Knock knock."

Luo Xuanye went and returned so quickly, with a cold look on his face, "Old Ancestor."

The crown prince has entered the palace, and they have learned about the fact that we killed the people in his palace.

I caught a close minister of the crown prince and learned that this matter was counted on the head of the Gusuluo clan, and the prince wanted to use this matter to frame Yang Guang, the king of Jin. ”

Gusu Luo's clan?

Luo Su raised his eyebrows and rubbed his head, this Gu Su Luo clan is really sitting at home, the pot came from the sky, I don't know what happened, and I met with a disaster.

Luo Xuanye said coldly: "Old ancestor, the prince of the Sui Dynasty is at fault first, but he still wants to take advantage of this incident, you can imagine what kind of garbage man he is, do you need me to kill him?"

When he returns to the East Palace from the palace, the guards will not be too tight, give me a strong crossbow, and I will definitely be able to kill with one blow. ”

Luo Su waved his hand and said: "Killing the crown prince is too big, what changes is the direction of a dynasty, and it directly cheapens Yang Guang, the king of Jin, this is not what we should do."

Stay here for a few more days, show some whereabouts, and then leave Chang'an.

Follow the Han River and the Yangtze River, all the way to the south of the Yangtze River to see the Gusu Luo clan, and then go west. ”

When Luo Xuanjing heard the westward journey, he couldn't help but ask: "Ancestor, the problem of the Sui Dynasty is so big, don't we stay in the Central Plains to solve it?" ”

Luo Su said indifferently: "If the Sui Dynasty can't even solve this problem, then it is not qualified to cooperate with our Luo Clan."

The reason for traveling west is because Su Wang Ancestor said that there is also civilization in the extreme west, and I want to go and see it, and the stones of other mountains can attack jade, maybe it can give me some inspiration.

This is called sharpening the knife and not cutting wood.

However, I am not going to go too far and strive to return to the Central Plains within 10 years. ”

Luo Xuanye didn't understand, and he didn't know what serious problems there were in the Sui Dynasty, but he still bowed down with Luo Xuanjing.

……

But he said that Yang had the courage to rush into the palace, and after he really walked to the palace, he was a little scared, after all, every time he was reprimanded by his parents, he was about to have a shadow psychologically.

Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo sat on the top, listening to Yang Yong crying and crying about this matter, they couldn't suppress their anger.

Dugu Jialuo said directly: "The face of the heavenly family is really embarrassing for you, you can't rob the woman of the Gaomen family, and you were killed by others, and now you still come to the palace to cry, it's really useless, why did I give birth to such a waste of you." ”

Yang Yong knelt down and sobbed with a puff: "Queen Mother, how dare my son rob the noble daughter of the high family?"

That's all slaves and maids in charge!

The reason why my son entered the palace is because as the crown prince, his face was abused at will by a down-and-out family, I really don't know who gave them the courage, the majesty of my heavenly family, is it not worth fearing?

These Jiangnan families, who were originally subjects of the lower country, could only wag their tails and beg in front of my Great Sui Heavenly Soldiers, and the dynasty gave these families great respect, but now it seems that it is to make these old families have a sense of pride, perhaps because they think that someone supports them, so they are fearless.

The son is now the crown prince, but a small family dares to override the son, how can this not make people feel cold. ”

Yang Yong and the Luo clan have no grievances and no enmity, what he means in and out of his words is that there must be someone behind the Luo clan, the Jiangnan Shi clan, that must be my good brother, your good son Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

Now that a Luo clan is riding on the head of my crown prince, what will happen to the King of Jin?

Are you really as long as Yang Guang, the king of Jin, doesn't want me, and doesn't care about my life or death?

Yang Yong knew that he had no status in his parents' hearts, but he was the crown prince after all, and if nothing else, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo were still unwilling to abolish him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here!"

At this critical time, Yang Guang actually came!

After Yang Jian let Yang Guang enter the palace, he formed a stark contrast with Yang Yong, the prince's clothes on Yang Guang's body looked a little shabby, and there was no gorgeous decoration on his body, Yang Yong and Yang Guang were compared to the extreme, this contrast was quite strong, which made Yang Jian and Dugu Jia Luo frown slightly.

Yang Guang looks very handsome, maybe their brothers have inherited the appearance of the Dugu family, it is a family that can eat with their faces.

A trace of triumph flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he glanced at Yang Yong with a little contempt, and saluted Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo seriously and in a proper manner, and said loudly: "Father, mother, recently, Jiangnan monks came to Chang'an to preach, the princess asked for a Buddha treasure, and the son remembered that tomorrow is the birthday of his grandmother, and he is dedicated to his father and mother. ”

When Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo heard that it was a Buddha treasure, they both smiled and said, "Erlang, you have a heart." ”

Yang Guang turned his head to look at Yang Yong, and asked curiously, "Is the imperial brother also a gift for his father and queen mother?" The royal brother is rich in the mansion, not as poor as his younger brother, it must be a great gift, not as shabby as his younger brother, can you let your younger brother take a look? ”

Hiss.

Yang Yong's face was about to turn green, panting and looking at Yang Guang's handsome face, he wanted to punch Yang Guang twice, but he didn't dare, he was worried that if he beat Yang Guang now, the will of the abolished prince would come down tomorrow.

Yang Guang's provocation is professional, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, and under Yang Guang's provocation, they broke out directly.

Yang Jian said coldly and angrily: "This son of scum's subordinates robbed the women of the Gu Su Luo clan, but they were killed by the Luo clan instead, and they even had the face to cry in front of my palace, which really lost the face of my Great Sui, and the position of the prince actually fell on the head of such a person, my eyes are really blind." ”

Dugu Jialuo also said angrily: "As the crown prince, he can't lead by example, and he even did such a wrong thing that lost face, what is the use of him?" ”

When Yang Guangyan heard this, his face changed greatly, and he looked at Yang Yong and said, "Brother Huang, did you really rob the noble daughter of the Luo family?"

This......

I have been in Jiangdu for ten years, so that the Jiangnan scholars can return to my Great Sui, and there is today's peace, then the Luo clan attaches the most importance to this kind of face, you are so reckless, do you want to destroy my Great Sui's society?

How many women are there in the world?

Brother Huang, you are lustful and you can't ignore the dynasty, if there is a lack of women in the house, my brother still has some favors in Jiangnan, and he will choose a woman for you to fill the East Palace in Jiangnan.

I only hope that in the future, there will never be such a thing of robbing the noble girl of the clan again! ”

Yang Guang's face turned red with a soft knife in the open, and the string of reason broke directly, he couldn't hold back any longer, and roared loudly: "King Jin, what are you talking nonsense?"

I didn't rob the woman of the Rocks!

Is it because you are supporting Luo's behind your back, that's why they dare to kill my palace people!

Do you want to seize my crown prince position, so you frame me like this? ”

Hiss~

Yang Guang gasped and looked at Yang Yong in disbelief, there was only one thought in his mind, that is, Yang Yong was crazy, and the second thought was that he was so stupid, countless times more stupid than expected!

After Yang Yong said this, his reason returned, and he immediately realized that he had caused a big disaster, and knelt directly on the main hall with a puff, cold sweat dripping, and his heart was full of despair.

Yang Guang also knelt beside him, his face full of panic and grievances.

The hall was quiet and silent, and even if a needle fell, you could hear it clearly, and even if you breathed loudly, you could feel the rate of breathing.

The air seemed to stop flowing, and the dust floating in the air seemed to be still in place.

The eunuch and the palace were lying on their knees, trembling, and almost every muscle in their bodies was trembling in extreme fear.

Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo sat on the top, motionless, like two sculptures, expressionless, calm and majestic, and the awe-inspiring momentum burst out.

"Crazy!"

A fierce voice like a flying knife shot out from Dugu Jialuo's mouth, and her voice was high-pitched as if she was about to lift the roof of the palace, "Rebellion!" ”

Just four words.

The temperature in the hall seemed to drop to freezing, this was the first time that the queen had criticized and even accused the prince so harshly, yes, everyone knew that this was accusing Yang Yong, Yang Yong's face was pale, trembling, he didn't dare to say a word, he couldn't say a word.

After saying these four words, Dugu Jialuo seemed to have run out of words, and Yang Jian shouted angrily, "Rebel, get out, go back to your East Palace, I don't want to see you again!" ”

This sentence made Yang Yong feel like he had been pardoned, and hurriedly ran outside the hall, embarrassed to the extreme, like a dog that had fled into the wilderness, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo looked at Yang Yong who was leaving, their chests couldn't help but rise and fall, obviously angry.

Yang Guang felt a little pity, understanding that his father and queen mother still had some expectations for Yang Yong, and now was not the opportunity to abolish Yang Yong, he said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "Father and queen mother, the imperial brother should have misunderstood his son just now, and when he was anxious, he would be a little unscrupulous, where is there any hatred between brothers, the son will not care about this matter, and the father and queen mother should not care too much, when there is time, the son and the imperial brother can explain." ”

Dugu Jialuo stepped down from above, stroked Yang Guang's head and sighed: "You are a good boy, how good would it be if you were my eldest son?"

You must be much better than your eldest brother when you come to be the crown prince. ”

Yang Guang pressed the ecstasy in his heart, and still performed the appearance of a filial son, in the palace, the mother and son were filial piety, and the rising sun of the Great Sui seemed to be a little brighter.

……

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and what happened in the palace can't hide from those who have the heart to investigate, especially Yang Yong's dejected departure from the palace, which makes people even more curious about these things.

Luo Su, who had been paying attention to this matter, immediately understood that something had happened in the palace, the prince had suffered another big rout, and the King of Jin was one step closer to the position of the crown prince, "The prince can basically give up, this is indeed a very useless person, go and contact the King of Jin." ”

Luo Xuanye said in a timely manner: "Ancestor, that Jin King Yang Guang loves Buddhism and poetry, and there is a poetry meeting he presided over on the outskirts of Chang'an, to feast those scribes, we can go and observe him."

If you want, you can even 'bump into' him and see what he really is.

The seventh sister can go and 'meet' the princess of Jin.

It is said that the princess of Jin is gentle and intelligent, knowledgeable, proficient in medical skills, good at divination, and proficient in music and poetry, because she was born in Jiangnan and advocates Buddhism, which happens to be what the seventh sister is good at. ”

Luo Xuanye is more stubborn, but Luo Su can hand over such an important matter as spying on Yang Guang to him, of course he will not be a brainless martial artist, this arrangement is enough to prove that he still has some finesse in the rough.

……

The men and women of Chang'an City usually go green in the spring, when everything is renewed and the heavens and the earth are full of life.

Chang'an in autumn is also very beautiful, thousands of mountains have not been solemn, birds have not been cut off, cool breeze, fallen leaves, quite a kind of poetry, compared to the blazing summer and the cold winter, autumn is really a suitable season for travel.

Yang Guang and Princess Jin went separately, and Princess Jin had to contact those women and those noble ladies, and things were even busier than Yang Guang.

She is indeed Yang Guang's virtuous helper, and Yang Guang can win the heir so smoothly, thanks to half of her credit.

Luo Xuanjing was very simple to blend into the banquet of Princess Jin, she looked like that kind of aristocratic woman, with fair and soft skin, polite manners, and the protection of the family (spirit soldier), she walked around the courtyard to see if she could find a chance to get acquainted with Princess Jin.

If it goes well, then naturally there is no need to say, if it doesn't go well, Luo Su said, she can directly reveal the holy mark, such as today, it is rumored that there is a Luo family lineage in the world, it is really revealed to the world, it is not bad.

And if the emperor was smarter, he should know that they were the ones who killed the prince's East Palace.

Originally, Luo Su was reluctant to give this help to Yang Guang, but now that Yang Guang has basically won a big victory, it doesn't matter.

Luo Xuanjing was in the courtyard, and the courtyard was full of chrysanthemums, and in this season, the other flowers had gradually withered, leaving only this kind of flowers that bloomed in autumn.

So even though it's autumn, the courtyard is still very beautiful.

Luo Xuanjing sniffed the flowers, even if she was wearing a hat, but her graceful posture, she could see that she was definitely a stunning woman, and after she appeared in the courtyard, many people had already noticed her.

She lifted the lower end of the hat veil and sniffed the fragrance of chrysanthemums, the white jaw and ruddy cherry lips that were revealed, I didn't know if it was the beauty of the flower or her beauty.

"The garden is full of golden chrysanthemums, and there are lonely bushes that are like frost."

Luo Xuanjing read out this poem, and a gentle voice like water came from behind him, "What a beautiful poem, reciting the poems of chrysanthemums, I haven't seen such a beautiful sentence for a long time, but did the young lady do it herself?" ”

Luo Xuanjing turned around, and what appeared in front of her was the princess Xiao of Jin, this is a gentle woman like water, a typical Jiangnan woman, with red makeup on her eyebrows, this is the makeup that is popular in Jiangnan, starting from the stigma, and because of the prevalence of Buddhism, it is becoming more and more popular among ladies.

Luo Xuanjing bowed slightly, her understanding of the classical and beautiful, which made Xiao Shi's eyes light up again, "I have seen Princess Jin, I wish you long life, peace and joy." ”

Xiao Shi asked happily, "Which child are you?" ”

……

Yang Guangxing is not Xuanhe, in addition to enough guards, he has always implemented a thrifty external image, he has endured for many years, for the sake of the throne, he can endure even longer, until he gets that position.

He was in the carriage thinking about what to do next, when suddenly he heard a song full of great meaning, the words were quite extraordinary, he listened attentively, and sang it was autumn, this new tune, which made him quite novel, and he lifted the curtain and asked, "Where does the song come from?" ”

When the guard heard this, he looked at him and said, "Your Highness, you are an angler. ”

Fishing?

Yang Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he himself also likes fishing, and fishing has other meanings in history, the important minister of the establishment of Bang Zhou, Taigongwang, is an angler.

Yang Guang thought this was a good sign, so he immediately said, "In the past." ”

The guards then drove the carriage over, after Yang Guang got out of the car, but there was a gurgling river in front of the meeting, the river water was very clear, and even the stones at the bottom of the river could be seen.

There was a person sitting by the river, with a hat and plain clothes, just looking at the back of the angler, Yang Guang felt quite extraordinary and extravagant.

He knew right away that this was no ordinary person.

The guard was about to speak, but Yang Guang stopped him, walked to Luo Su's side, and asked with a smile in the direction of the river: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, is there any fish in such a clear river?"

And it's a straight hook. ”

Luo Su said lightly: "Those who wish to take the bait." ”

Yang Guang looked down at Luo Su, he finally saw Luo Su's appearance, very young, no, not young.

Yang Guang frowned, he wanted to rub his eyes, he thought that he must have dazzled his eyes, otherwise why couldn't he even tell the age of the person in front of him?

He seems to be a young man, but he doesn't feel like a young man, but an old antique who has gone through endless years, and this strange feeling makes Yang Guang involuntarily have a kind of fear.

No one can remain calm in the face of the years.

And Losu.

It is the embodiment of time in the world!

Yang Guang didn't know what he should ask, so he asked, "The fishing song before, but Mr. sang?" ”

"Exactly."

Yang Guang finally felt that the rhythm was normal, and let himself laugh again, "In autumn, everything in the world declines, and it is about to fall silent, so since ancient times, autumn poetry has always been sad, this is the first time I have heard such cheerful poems, it is really eye-catching, Mr. is not ordinary, may teach me this poem." ”

Luo Su said lightly: "It's just a poem."

Remember.

Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring. As soon as the cranes line the clouds in the clear sky, it will lead poetry to the blue sky. ”

Yang Guang couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded: "It's really a good poem, under the surname Yang, the name is wide, and it is fortunate to be the king of Jin today, and I don't know the name of Mr. ”

Gaozu has the world, will take the Sui territory, classics, Wen Gongzhi, solemnly said: "If you don't take the documents of the troubled times, the Sui is very exaggerated, and if you get the Sui documents, you will fall into the country, and this is also a chaotic thing." ”

The Sui Institute is extremely prosperous, covering the people's fat and people's ointment, and the blood of the people is abandoned, so there is great prosperity. - "Tongjian: Tang Ji"
