If Wang Xuanze went to ask the ancestor, it is estimated that the ancestor would say, let alone a hundred years, there has been no national fortune for forty years, but unfortunately the ancestor is asleep, except for the alternation of successive generations of family heads, there is almost no reply to them.

In real history, the acres of land on the books of the Sui Dynasty were far more than 1.9 billion mu, but an astonishing 4.35 billion mu.

How high is that number? After the establishment of the flower planter, the national field mu was 168 million mu, and more than 1,000 years later, the number of acres of the flower planter was not as good as the nine years of the emperor's reign.

Later, after the development of the Great Northern Wilderness, the frontier and the three eastern provinces, it reached 1918 million mu in the 21st century. It's still not as good as the 19.5 billion in the ninth year of the emperor's reign.

Wang Xuanze calculated the real income of the people, as well as the taxes that need to be paid, according to the good years and good years, their taxes are about more than 30% of the total income, and his wife must work hard to weave.

If it is replaced by a normal year, it is 40% to 50% of the income, but how can there be so many good years in this world? One or two years in ten years is not bad, so the people usually pay more than forty percent of the taxes, and such high taxes are only found in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the countries are in dispute.

During the Great Dry period, the tax revenue was 20 percent, and the people's land was also more, so in other words, the final income of a household was more than twice or even three times that of the people of the Sui Dynasty now.

The Sui State collected such heavy taxes that it received a large amount of grain. Yang Jian ordered the construction of granaries in the key places of the world's waterways to store grain.

The life of the people at the bottom is hard, but the family of the gate valve above is extravagant and abnormal.

In addition to these gate valve families, Wang Xuanze also found a problem, that is, religion. Since the late Liu and Song dynasties, there has been a flourishing of religion in the world, not only Taoism, but also Buddhism that spread from Tianzhu.

Buddhism was preached in the Western Regions, and then it was taught by the Wang family in the Western Regions, and soon changed its style, adding King Hao Tianwen to it, calling him the Buddha and then being accepted, and then gradually spreading to the Central Plains.

In the late Liu and Song dynasties, because of the continuous wars in the world, many people pinned their trust on religion, so the number of people who believed in Buddhism increased explosively.

Even the royal family and the emperor believed in Buddhism, and after the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism flourished even more, because Yang Jian, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was born in a temple.

Moreover, the wife of Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty believed in Buddhism more than him, which can be seen from her name, Dugu Jialuo.

Therefore, the Sui Emperor was very friendly to Buddhism, and he repeatedly funded the construction of Buddhist temples, and at the same time, as a Buddhist temple, Buddhism had land and a large population, but did not need to pay taxes.

In Wang Xuanze's view, this is completely foolishness.

Although Wang Xuanze had just bought a property in Daxing City and lived for only a month, he had not yet turned around Daxing City before he discovered more than a dozen temples.

He asked people to collect the situation of the temple, just near Daxing City, there are already more than 20 temples, these temples basically have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, some of which were rewarded by Emperor Yang Jian and the Empress of Sui, some were donated by believers, and some were purchased by them.

There are so many temples in one city, if it is promoted to the whole country, Wang Xuanze estimates that there are at least more than 500 temples in the world.

In fact, Wang Xuanze's estimate is still conservative, at this time, the number of Buddhist temples in the world has already exceeded 3,000, and it is advancing to the number of 4,000.

But even according to Wang Xuanze's estimates, there are more than 500 temples, plus their land. These temples are estimated to have millions of acres of Buddha fields that are not subject to taxes.

Of course, Buddhism does not pay taxes, Taoism naturally does not pay taxes, although the number of Taoism is not as good as Buddhism, but there are not a few, there are also at least one million acres of farmland.

Back then, when I was in Daqian, let alone these religions, even the nobles and powerful in various places had to pay taxes honestly, but now these are actually exempted.

Wang Xuanze is now more and more unable to understand these operations of the Sui Dynasty.

Originally, the Wang family sent him here to let everyone in the family go to the court and obtain a knighthood to increase the family's luck, but now Wang Xuanze felt that the family should wait a little longer after a serious understanding of the Sui Dynasty. You can go back to Zhuxia first, but don't rush out first.

The family has been waiting for hundreds of years, and there is no hurry for a few years, if Emperor Sui can recognize these problems and correct them in time, the Wang family may be able to come out and help one or two, so as to gain luck.

But if he didn't make changes, Wang would look on coldly.

Originally, the Wang family has been consuming the family heritage over the years, if it is inserted at this time, once there is an accident in the Sui Dynasty, the family will also be unlucky.

Wang Xuanze compiled his analysis into a book, and then made several revisions, and after thinking that it was okay, he asked his cronies to personally send it to Ryukyu Island Guanhai City.

In the city of Guanhai, the main hall of the temple.

More than 30 descendants of the Wang family are discussing.

The head of the family who sat in the first place said: "Everyone, you have also read the letter sent by Aze, what do you think of the Sui Dynasty?" ”

"The head of the family, this Sui Dynasty looks at it, it doesn't look like it lasts for a long time!" The high priest next to him shook his head and said.

"Emperor Sui governs the world like this, if the world can maintain peace for a few years, and even many places are still thriving, but if it is like this for a long time, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destroying the country!"

"I read that the Sui Emperor and the Empress are not extravagant and wasteful, and advocate thrift and lead by example, if they can stick to it, it should be good!"

"As for the heavy taxes, but the people have just recovered from the war, so they must be able to bear it." The man next to him said.

"Yes, you can bear it, but you ignore the temperament of those officials!" Another person shook his head and said: "This Sui Emperor takes taxation as the assessment standard, and if officials want to be promoted, they must pay more taxes, so that those officials are not desperately squeezing the people?" ”

"Nineteen million acres of land, hehe, in the last four hundred years, there are only four million acres of land in the world, these officials really dare to report it!"

"Didn't Emperor Sui know the number of acres of land in the previous dynasty?"

"Okay, okay, we'll discuss these later, now let's discuss whether we want to go out of the Sui Dynasty?" The head of the house in the first place interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"The head of the family, my opinion is not to be out."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!" Everyone said.

"In that case, let's not go out of the way! But the family's return to Zhuxia can't be stopped! Wang Maode, the head of the family, said.

"This is natural, the family has been safe overseas for more than 300 years, and they must go back!"

"The women and children in the family will stay first, and send some clansmen and Yulinwei back first, although they will not go out of the Sui Dynasty, but remember to take care of the relationship."

"Yui!" The crowd answered.
