The two-level management system of the Sui Dynasty increased the number of officials in the imperial court several times, although it successfully weakened the power of the prefecture and county, but once it encountered war, it would become very troublesome, if it was an ordinary bandit, it was fine, if it was a large army, the prefecture and county were powerless to fight.

In addition to these problems, the Sui Dynasty carried forward the system of inspecting the imperial history of the Qian, and in order to prevent those officials from acting recklessly, the number of inspections of the imperial history of the Sui Dynasty was comparable to that of the Qian.

It's just that Yang Jian didn't know that inspecting the imperial history was not omnipotent, otherwise the big cadres of the year would not have set up embroidered clothes again.

Although there are many children of the family who hope that the world will be peaceful and have professional ethics, more of them turn a blind eye or go along with it.

I don't know when it began, these wealthy families, scholars and nobles no longer regard ordinary people as their kind.

Also, those gatekeeper families have wine, meat and food, child servants and beautiful concubines in and out, fair skin, full of poetry and books, while the people are rough-skinned, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and their range of activities in their lives may only be dozens of miles, and even the way of speaking and thinking is completely different.

Except for the biological genetic similarity between the two, other things are very different, how can those gate valve families treat them as the same kind.

The word 'people' has gradually changed from the common people to their family of gatekeepers. And the people of the world are just talking tools to them.

This trend of thought naturally also affected Yang Jian, who was born in a family of gate lords, Yang Jian was not a commoner, his father may have been born in the Kanto Hanmen, but he was later awarded the title of Duke of Suiguo for his merits. Basically, I have lived in the people, so I naturally don't know the sufferings of the people.

Therefore, the promulgation of the policies of the Sui Dynasty was not so friendly to the people at the bottom.

Although Wang Xuanze had just returned to the Central Plains, he had already collected a lot of information about the official system, tax system, and military system of the Sui Dynasty. But the more he looked, the more he frowned.

Although the descendants of the Wang family are no longer governing the country, they have not put down the various books on governing the country collected over the past thousand years, which is a must-read for the descendants of the Wang family.

Therefore, although Wang Xuanze has never governed the imperial court, he has a perfect understanding of the way to govern the country. According to the internal peace of the Wang family, at least he is also a talent for governing a continent, of course, the state here refers to the state during the Great Dry period.

Don't think that the talent of governing a continent feels that his talent is low, in fact, in the history of Zhuxia, the prime ministers of most periods are almost at this level. Only a few who can weigh the world's Zaifuzhi can be higher than them.

The vast majority of prime ministers in history have not been able to do this, and if they can do it, the world will not get worse, but steadily improve.

Wang's internal talent is divided into several levels, which can govern a county, let the people live in peace, prosper and become the talent of a county, and then the talent of a county, the talent of a state, and the talent of Zaifu, and the top is the talent of the world.

This level of talent is a talent who can reverse the national situation, suppress the world, and complete the reform.

After all, according to Wang's standards, the talent of Zai Fu and the ability to govern the country is to be able to make the country prosperous, not to be a pastemaker.

Although Wang Xuanze is at the level of a pastemaker, not a talent from a state, he can also see the flaws of these policies.

The most serious problem in the Sui Dynasty was the tax system.

Because of the war in the world for many years, the Sui Dynasty promulgated the Juntian system and rectified the household registration, but its tax system was extremely strict.

Of course, this has been the case in all dynasties, and it seems that there is no problem, and then the uniform field system, the common people are given 40 acres of Yongye field for men, 80 acres of open field, and 40 acres of open field for women after marriage, according to this calculation, a family has 160 acres of land, which is far more than 5 times more than the 30 acres of land granted during the Great Dry period.

It looks very good, Yongye Tian can be passed on to his descendants, and Lutian is recovered by the state after death.

Seriously speaking, this tax is lower than that of the Great Qian, if it is really implemented according to this, this is even more virtuous and loving the people than Emperor Qianwen!

But is that really the case?

The Sui Dynasty now has 50 million people in the civil register, and there are 20 million people in the big families and nobles in various places.

The Sui Dynasty simply did not have so much land in the hands of the people to distribute to the people, let alone open fields, even Yongye fields were not enough. Wang Xuanze specially went to understand that the people of the Central Plains generally only have 20 acres of land, and many people even have 15 acres.

What if the allocated land is not enough? It's easy to do, if the acres of land are not enough, you will issue a document that owes the land, which means that the court owes you so much land. It's just that you, a flat-headed ordinary person, dare to ask for it?

If this is the case, it will be fine, but in order to prevent local officials from being perfunctory, Yang Jian stipulated that if local officials want to be promoted, taxation is the first standard, that is, local officials are forced to collect taxes.

So the local officials collect taxes according to the data on the household registration book, you say that your family only has 20 acres of land? Impossible, I remember in this field book that it is 160 acres, and you want to evade taxes?

What do you say Tian didn't give enough? Also gave the owe land paperwork? What kind of land arrears document, the imperial court does not have this official document, you must pay taxes according to one hundred and sixty acres!

Twenty acres of land, according to the tax of 160 acres of land, it can be imagined that this field tax has directly increased by more than eight times, that is, now that the world is peaceful, the people can barely afford it. If there is a year of famine, I am afraid that I will immediately be displaced everywhere.

In addition to these, Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was afraid that the common people would hide the population, so he demanded that officials must check the household registration every few years, and those who were far from cousins should be separated, and the people were encouraged to report each other. Originally, this was aimed at the wealthy and powerful, but it turned out to be aimed at the small people.

The Sui Dynasty collected taxes on a per-household basis, and by splitting the households, they could collect more taxes. According to the data of the imperial court household registration and acres of land obtained by Wang Xuanze, just last year, in the ninth year of the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, there were more than 7 million households registered in the world, and 19.5 million acres of land were acre.

When Wang Xuanze saw this data for the first time, he asked the dark guard several times, and the answers he got were all the same.

Seven million is nothing, but 19.5 million acres of land completely stunned him.

Wang Xuanze still remembers that the number of acres of land in the heyday of the Great Dry Dynasty was 3.8 million hectares, of which there may be hidden fields, but it is estimated that there will be no more than 4.5 million hectares at most.

And then in the world for more than 300 years, the number of acres of land has quadrupled? Are you kidding! Now the territory of the Sui Dynasty is even smaller than that of Daqian, and you tell him that the number of acres of land has quadrupled? Have you bulldozed the mountains, lakes, and swamps of the world?

Wang Xuanze was stunned at that time, 1.9 billion mu of land, if there is really so much farmland, let alone 400 years, it will be more than enough for another 400 years of prosperity.

It is also for this reason that Wang Xuanze deliberately sent people to the people to search for and asked the people about the fields, and then he understood the truth about the fields and acres of the Sui Dynasty.

It can only be said that the discipline of those officials did not surprise Wang Xuanze at all, and it was as bad as ever. Such an empire was actually at the beginning of the state.

Wang Xuanze is now very skeptical that the Sui State can have a hundred years of national fortune.
