Chapter 198: He has been blamed for nearly a thousand years.

The play continues on the marquee,

A cellar appears on the screen,
The length and width are each more than ten feet.
Piles of rice grains piled up and overflowed.

At the entrance of the cellar, subordinates were collecting the overflowing grain and piling it on the grain cart.

The subordinate staff pushed the grain cart on the corridor.

The screen then zoomed out,

Cellars of the same size and full of food came into view.

The screen zoomed up quickly, then stopped.

Looking down.

There are hundreds of neatly arranged warehouses surrounded by warehouse cities of more than 200 feet each in the east, west, north and south.

The subordinate staff, who are as big as ants, are wandering back and forth in Cangcheng.

……

[Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty postponed the age for people to bear taxes and corvee to twenty-one years old, but the age for receiving Lutian was still eighteen years old. 】

[This has allowed the people to increase their stable income for three years. 】

[Afterwards, the imperial court shortened the service time of the people from thirty days to twenty days each year, and reduced the number of silks paid from one piece of four feet to two feet. 】

[In 590 AD, it was stipulated that people between the ages of fifty and fifty-nine could accept Yong to be exempted from military service. 】

["Yong" means that those who are exempted from military service pay silk in lieu of service. The amount per day is only a few feet, and it is no more than a few feet in twenty days. 】

[This is called the "renting system"]

[After the land equalization policy, the lost population will be re-attributed to the household registration. 】

[Let cousins ​​and cousins ​​separate their families and split the original family registration. 】

["Da Suo Mao Yue" separated the tenants and tribes from the wealthy and noble families and formed their own households. 】

[In addition, there is a smooth set of policies to benefit the people, such as "light tax" and "renting the yong". 】

[The reforms of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty made the people's burdens lighter and lighter. 】

[People also have more time to engage in farming and production. 】

[The great achievement of "the world's accumulation can be used for fifty or sixty years"]. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng looked at the sky full of harvested grain.

The originally happy face suddenly changed color.

Something is wrong!
It’s not that I can’t see future generations being better than their predecessors.

Being able to accumulate food for more than fifty years shows that his policies are effective and the people have enough food.

but!

As the master of the Huang family.

He knows very well that people have food ≠ people have food ≠ people are happy.

Just generally speaking.

Population surge + expansion of cultivated land = abundant granary

no problem.

But the key lies in cultivating the fields!

He still remembers Emperor Xiaowen's land equalization system.

Men have eighty acres of farmland, and women have sixty acres of farmland.

But the population of the Sui Dynasty has reached 40 million!

Even if it’s half way.

Assuming that one person with a population of 20 million is granted 40 acres of land.

That’s also 800 million barren fields!
Liu Heng looked at the sky without moving.

Eight hundred million... Arata?
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che glanced at Tiantian and ignored him.

Continue to issue unilateral orders to the ministers in front of you.

joke!

If you can support a population of 40 million, wasteland!

I call you Dad!
No need to look at this.

It’s clear that people like me were deceived by the deceptions of the local officials below!

As for the population, it should be pretty much the same.

Without such a large population, it would not be possible to accumulate fifty years of food in more than ten years.

but……

Liu Che couldn't help but think of himself.

That Emperor Wen in heaven, you'd better pray to Taiyi.

I pray that you will not meet an emperor who loves war as much as I do.

Otherwise...

I smacked my lips...

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, it feels like scolding yourself.

……

[Ten years after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, warehouses were full. 】

[Of course there are many reasons for this, but it must be one of the important reasons that the government does not impose excessive taxes and the people live and work in peace and contentment. 】

[There is one more thing to mention here. 】

["Zhenguan Zhengyao" records: "In the fourteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, there was a severe drought, and many people were hungry. At that time, the warehouses were overflowing, and no relief was allowed, but the people were ordered to chase food. The Sui Dynasty did not pity the people but cherished the warehouses. Compared with At the end of the year, the world's accumulated savings will be enough to provide for fifty or sixty years."

[This passage is the original version of the sentence above. 】

[Based on the words of Emperor Taizong who appeared in this book during the Xuanzong period. 】

[Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty took the blame that no one has talked about so far. 】

[That is to have food but not provide disaster relief. 】

……

Sui Dynasty and Emperor Wen's period
"You fart!"

Yang Jian stood up fiercely, startling Dugu Jialuo.

"I won't provide disaster relief?"

"Fourth year since the founding of the Emperor! I'm not familiar with the customs!"

"I transport grain from Shandong and install officials in Changping!"

"Develop warehouses and provide relief through Puja!"

“He who eats little will always have plenty!”

Yang Jian was so angry that his beard fluttered and his eyes widened with anger.

"Then there were successive years of severe drought in Guanzhong!" "Qing, Yan, Bian, Xu, Cao, Bo, Chen, Ren, Qiao, Yu, Zheng, Luo, Yi, Ying, Pi and other prefectures suffered from floods and the people were starving!"

"I ordered Su Wei to separate and open a warehouse to provide relief!"

"I ordered the king to send more than three million shi of grain from Guangtong! In order to save Guanzhong, I also sent out the old millet from the Zhou Dynasty in the old city to be sold to people at a low price!"

"We also bought more than 6,000 oxen and donkeys and distributed them to the poorest people, so that they could go to Guandong for food! Those states suffering from floods and droughts will be exempted from their annual rents and taxes!"

Yang Jian's eyes turned red as he spoke.

"Afterwards, Shandong experienced frequent rains."

"Qi, Song, Chen, Bo, Cao, Dai, Qiao, Ying and other states reached the sea, but they were all trapped in floods and drowned wherever they were."

"I also sent an envoy to patrol the source of the river. They looked at each other and followed them closely to guide them."

"For those who are needy, open warehouses to provide relief, and use more than five million stones of grain before and after. No rent or transfer will be waived in places affected by floods."

"I have been terrified since I took over the throne."

Yang Jian choked up slightly, and then said fiercely:

"I wonder who these Taizong and Xuanzong are!"

"Is it Sui Difa and his heirs?"

Dugu Jialuo looked at him sideways.

"Do you think that if you defeat him, you will be able to gain the honor of the ancestral temple?"

Yang Jian choked immediately.

"you……"

……

Datang,

Li Shimin looked at the sky with empty eyes.

This Xuanzong, you have gone too far.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty established the imperial system.

People in the world lose millet at the festival level, and most of them are warehouses, so there is no famine.

but……

I twirled my beard and thought for a long time.

I really don’t know what the disaster was like in the 14th year of Emperor Kaihuang’s reign.

After all, I was only four years old at that time.

"Father, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty actually went so far?"

Xiao Li Zhi said angrily.

Li Shimin looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Why is this kid so smart and stupid at times?
Are you reading half of what you are saying?
"Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty never took disaster relief lightly."

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and looked at what he had said in the sky.

"Since he took over, whenever there is a local disaster, he will respond immediately."

"Even three years after his death, there is still a record of sending envoys to provide disaster relief."

Xiao Li Zhi scratched his head and frowned.

"Then why do you say that, Father?"

The hand twirling his beard paused.

"I never said that."

Li Shimin said solemnly with a straight face.

……

[Regarding the disaster in the 14th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, the only certainty was the famine in Guanzhong. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty asked the people to eat in Luoyang. 】

["In the fourteenth year, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong and people were hungry. Fortunately for Luoyang, the people were given food. From the official position, the relief was given by mouth, not limited by official position." "Book of the Sui Dynasty. Food and Goods Chronicles"]

[But the process and evaluation of "Old Tang Book. Food and Huo Zhi", "Old Tang Book. Dai Zhou Biography", "Tang Huiyao" and "Zhenguan Zhengyao" and "Zizhi Tongjian" are completely opposite. 】

["Old Book" says: If you lose millet at the festival level, you will not be hungry. 】

["Zheng Yao" says: The warehouse is overflowing and no relief is allowed. 】

[Then the question is, did Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty provide disaster relief that year? 】

[The answer is that there was food in the official warehouse in Chang'an, but there was no food in the Yi warehouse, so Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty took all the officials and people to Luoyang to eat. 】

[The official warehouse mainly stores grain, cloth and silk and is used for state funds. 】

[Yicang, also known as social warehouse, is used to store food specifically for famine relief. 】

[It means "the common people and soldiers in various states encouraged teachers to join the community and build warehouses together."]

[The two do not interfere with each other. 】

[However, a severe drought in the 14th year of Kaihuang's reign exposed the problem of the free warehouse. Then in the second year, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ordered the free warehouse to be closed to the public. 】

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
"boom!"

The jade jug was broken into pieces, and the aroma of wine filled the air.

The calyx Xianghui Tower, which resounded with melancholy sounds, was silent for an instant.

"Wu Jing!"

Li Longji roared.

He's about to explode!

When this person went to Zhenguan and was about to express his views, he realized that the history books written by this person were inconsistent with the facts.

I originally thought that it would be over if I demoted it and included it in the records.

Unexpectedly, his book was actually read as historical fact by future generations?

I don’t believe the "Book of Sui" written by Emperor Taizong! Believe this? !
Li Longji gritted his teeth in hatred.

This Wu Jingming was promoting Zhenguan's rule, but he was actually trying to gain fame and reputation!
He should not have been demoted for "improper writing" in the first place!
Instead, he beheaded him out of contempt for his father!

hateful!

……

 There is a standard in archaeology, which is to use the historical books closest to its era as data research.

  "Zhenguan Zhengyao" did not even include it in "New Book of Tang" until it was included in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

  The influence of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is well known.

  Okay, one pot can cover two people.

  Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty overthrew Xiaojiaziqi, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty overshadowed Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

  Otherwise, the position of public opinion is important.

  Taizu really saw it clearly.

  Old people can see the essence by reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

  We read "Zizhi Tongjian" just to show off.
