Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 796 Sui Shu Who Can't Tucao at All

After listening to what Zhuo Qun said, everyone was shocked, and they didn't know what to say.

However, Li Erniu, who has been silent all year round and has no sense of pure emotion, suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhuo, is what you said true? Why do I not believe it? You need to know what is the concept of more than 500 million hectares of arable land , That’s more than 50 billion mu of land, more than our modern world? I don’t believe it!”

"There is still so much arable land. If you count the 890 million households in the country with six people per household, that would be more than 300 million people. Impossible, how could there be so many strong productive forces in ancient times?"

"By the way, there are really so many granaries for grain. There are really so many grains. Even if there are, it is impossible to preserve grain for 50 years. This is something that modern people can't do. Those ancient people How did you do it, I really don’t understand, I’m not kidding, we just don’t understand, what’s going on, is it true or not, is it wrong in the book?”

Li Erniu was already a blockbuster if he didn't make a sound, and his words caught everyone's attention.

"Okay, Er Niu, how did you think of this?"

"Brother Niu is amazing, you are stronger than us!"

Both Zheng Sanpao and Zhuang Yan were praising Li Erniu, causing Li Erniu to touch the back of his head in embarrassment.

"My family is a farmer, so I'm more sensitive to this thing."

Li Erniu explained with a smile, "Mr. Zhuo, I'm really not kidding."

At this time, Gao Dazhuang and Zhuo Qun led the others to applaud Li Erniu. It is a good thing to have doubts, and Zhuo Qun also has doubts, because the preservation period of the land and grain is really nonsense.

"Let's talk about the land problem first. That is, one mu of land in the Sui Dynasty was 522 square meters, which is now 0.78 mu. If converted, it is 42.9 billion mu of land in modern times. Let's see if it is suddenly less. a lot of."

After Zhuo Qun said this, he still couldn’t help complaining. This is much more than modern times. It’s enough. You must know that intensive farming started from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was in the Yellow River Basin. This kind of agricultural production technology has become more and more mature. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties: the intensive cultivation technology of paddy fields in the south gradually matured. That is to say, all the beauties in the Sui Dynasty had to intensively cultivate the land. Just like what Li Erniu said, how could it be possible.

But in fact, the Sui Dynasty really did it, not only did it, but also crowned all dynasties.

"And the Tang Dynasty didn't have so much arable land, but it didn't have so many people. The Sui Dynasty had so many people not only by giving birth, but also by the census of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."

"In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty conducted a national census, and also innovatively adopted two new census methods, that is, Dasuo Maangyu and Sampling of Nationality.

Dasuo Maangyue means that when officials from all over the country inspect the population, they must record the specific appearance, age, etc. of the people in each household, so that they can use these data to determine whether these people are lying or not in the next inspection. .

Through this verification, a large number of under-reported and under-reported populations have been developed. The large number can refer to this record in history: "Great achievements have been made, and the registration is also ordered to be folded, and each is an account to prevent concealment. So The account entry is 44 Ding, and the newly attached 160 households "is enough to see how many people were underreported and underreported in the past. "

Zhuo Qun stood there looking at everyone and said, "Not only that, the Sui Dynasty also carried out a complete national land equalization system. In the first year of Emperor Kaihuang, Emperor Wen of Sui promulgated the order of equal land, the content of which is in the "Sui Shu" According to records, the general meaning is that every adult male will get [-] mu of land allocated by the state to grow crops, and every woman will get [-] mu of land to grow crops. But these lands are all state-owned, right? It can be bought and sold, but the ownership of these lands is still owned by the state, and the people only have the right to use them, so they will be taken back by the state after a certain number of years."

Zhuo Qun looked at the thoughtful crowd and said, "Does this kind of thing look familiar?"

When it came to Gao Dazhuang, he didn't know how to answer it. How could he not be familiar with the nationalization of land, but in order to cheer, Gao Dazhuang still nodded with others.

"So, the things we are doing now have already appeared in our history, but no one cares about it. What everyone sees are those glamorous and beautiful dynasties that have existed for a long time, and what they see are those There are singing and dancing in prosperous times, and emperors and generals in troubled times, not many people care about the systems of the past dynasties, or many people don’t know the existence of these systems.”

"By the way, in the Sui Dynasty there was land that was recovered and land that was not recovered. In the Sui Dynasty, the state would allocate 21 acres of mulberry fields to each adult male. These [-] acres do not need to be returned. They are regarded as permanent land. However, if you want to take it, you have to separate the family, and in the Sui Dynasty, the time when men came of age was set back by one year, and the time of corvee service was reduced. It is recorded in "Sui Shu": At the beginning, the soldiers were ordered to be [-] percent, and the number was reduced by twelve times per year. Twenty-day campaign, this "Sui Shu" will not be faked."

When Zhuo Qun talked about Sui Shu, the expression on his face was not right, he unconsciously covered his stomach, and he vomited a lot of things for no apparent reason.

You must know that any dynasty will slander the previous dynasty. This is to establish its own legitimacy. Taboo for sages was originally the principle and attitude of Confucius when compiling and deleting "Spring and Autumn".

Taboo is a way for Confucius to express his attitude. Taboo for the respected is to show respect, taboo for the virtuous is to show the virtuous, and taboo for the relatives is to show relatives. People are ashamed and can’t bear to write. This is the loyalty of Confucius. .The Spring and Autumn Annals is not only beautiful, but also does not hide evil. It only uses words carefully to show praise and criticism, and sees the truth in taboos. Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Annals is not only a great classic and historical work, but also a great literary work.

But after Dong Zhongshu and the others came to power, it was different. It became taboo for the venerable. Try to hide the bad things about the venerable. If you can’t hide it, then try to beautify it. In short, it’s such a set of things .

But there is no such thing as taboo for the former court. In short, we must do all the bad things that the previous court said about the pus on the soles of the feet and the sores on the top of the head, because otherwise, how can we show our justice and integrity? Orthodox.

But what Zhuo Qun wanted to complain about the most was that the Sui Shu, a history book of the Sui Dynasty written by the Tang Dynasty, had been deleted and slandered as much as possible. I really don't know how to complain.
