At that time, Wang Xiantong, the uncle of King Xue and Li Ye, oppressed the people and did evil. After Yao Chongzuo asked Xuanzong for approval, he punished Wang Xiantong.
Yao Chong also presided over the management of locust plagues in the early years of Kaiyuan.
He personally commanded and ordered all counties and counties to go all out to eliminate locusts and reward those who made meritorious service.
Under his vigorous promotion, the locust plague did not continue to spread and was quickly stopped.
After Yao Chong, Song Jing served as prime minister. He attached great importance to the selection and appointment of talents. Although he held the power of the court, he never bent the law for his own sake. On the contrary, he had stricter requirements on his relatives.
Once, when his distant uncle Song Yuanchao participated in the selection of the Ministry of Officials, he told the examiner about his special relationship with Song Jing, and hoped that the examiner would take care of him and make him a good official.
As a result, after Song Jing learned about it, not only did he not intercede with him, but he specifically informed the Ministry of Officials not to give him an official job.
Zhang Jiuling is from Cantonese. At that time, Guangdong was called Lingnan, and the economy was backward. People who committed crimes were often exiled there as a punishment.
Therefore, in people's eyes, it is a desolate and difficult place. Since there are very few people from Lingnan who have been officials in the court in the past, it is difficult to have an official as high as a prime minister in the court.
But Zhang Jiuling was chosen by Xuanzong by virtue of his outstanding talent.
After Zhang Jiuling became prime minister, he also valued a person's character and talent as Xuanzong did, rather than his background.
When the Ministry of Officials participated in the selection of officials, he always advocated the selection of talents fairly and the use of talents according to their ability.
At the same time, he pointed out and advised Xuanzong's mistakes in a timely manner, and never concealed the truth just because Xuanzong had the kindness to know him.
In order to increase the country's income and attack the tycoons who seized the land and concealed it, Tang Xuanzong launched a campaign of "inspecting land and including households".
After the tyrants at that time occupied the peasants' land, they called it "foreign land", and they also turned the fleeing peasant households into their "private belongings", evading state taxation in terms of land and population.
Tang Xuanzong's inspection of land and Kuohu movement has received actual results.
He appointed Yuwen Rong as the country's envoy to overthrow the land and persuade farmers, and set up ten envoys and judges to persuade farmers to go to various places to check the concealed land and the farmers who sheltered.
Then all the land that was inspected was confiscated, and at the same time, the land was distributed to farmers for cultivation.Registration is also carried out for the concealed farmers.
In this way, the annual increase in customer money is as high as several million.
Through these effective measures, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty brought the economy of the Tang Dynasty back to normal, reduced the burden on farmers, increased the country's fiscal revenue, and prospered the country's economy.
At that time, although Buddhism was not banned in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, its development was restricted by Confucianism and Taoism respected by the royal family surnamed Li.
But in Wu Zetian's period, in order to attack Li's surname religiously, Wu Zetian adopted a conniving attitude towards Buddhism, which made Buddhism develop rapidly.
There are basically Buddhist monasteries in every state in the country.
The monks not only annexed the land under the patronage and connivance of the state, but also tried their best to evade state taxation.
The large increase in the number of monks has reduced the number of people who bear taxes and corvees, affecting the country's income.
In the second year of Kaiyuan, Tang Xuanzong ordered to reduce the number of monks and nuns in the country, and finally the number of monks and nuns in the country reached 2000.
Then, Xuanzong ordered that it is forbidden to build new temples, cast Buddha statues, and copy Buddhist scriptures.
Interaction between officials and monks and nuns was also prohibited, which dealt a heavy blow to Buddhism during the Xuanzong period and reduced its burden on the state's finances.
In addition, Tang Xuanzong's martial arts are outstanding.
He reformed the military system.
In order to reunify the north, Tang Xuanzong took many measures to prepare for the recovery of the northern territories, such as promulgating the "Military Training Edict", ordering the military towns in the northwest to expand the army and strengthen training.
At the same time, the imperial servant Wang Maozhong was appointed as the envoy of the internal and external stables, fully responsible for the supply of military horses, which made the horses replenished in time and improved the combat effectiveness.
In addition, in order to completely solve the problem of military rations, Xuanzong ordered to expand the scope of farmland, and vigorously develop farmland in the northwest and north of the Yellow River to increase food production.
After making full preparations, the Tang Dynasty gradually recovered Yingzhou and other places. The ethnic minorities north of the Great Wall also automatically canceled the title of independent separatist regime and returned to the Tang Dynasty. The Anbei Protectorate was also restored.
Tang Xuanzong's series of effective measures brought new developments in politics, economy, and culture in the Tang Dynasty, surpassing his ancestor Tang Taizong, and creating a prosperous and prosperous "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age" that will last forever.
The prosperous age of Kaiyuan, also known as "the rule of Kaiyuan", refers to the prosperous age that appeared in the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.
During the Kaiyuan period, the Tang Dynasty entered its heyday.
Because the reign name was "Kaiyuan" at that time, it was called "the prosperous age of Kaiyuan" in history.
After Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, he advocated culture and education, appointed virtuous Yao Chong, Song Jing, etc., reformed official positions, rectified the administration of officials, and worked hard to govern.
Politically, Tang Xuanzong's reform agency rectified the administration of officials, improved the efficiency of the bureaucracy, reused virtuous officials, and revised the law.
In terms of economy, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang formulated economic reform measures: crack down on the rich and noble families and liberate the labor force; reform and implement the food feudal system to increase government fiscal revenue and reduce the burden on the people; crack down on Buddhist forces and vigorously develop agriculture.
In terms of military affairs, Tang Xuanzong reformed the military system, vigorously developed farmland in border areas, and expanded territory.
For the first time in history, the entire territory of the three northeastern provinces was included in the Chinese territory.
In terms of culture, culture and education are advocated, Taoism is emphasized and Buddhism is suppressed, and talents come forth in large numbers.
Tang Xuanzong also improved ethnic relations, which greatly promoted social and economic development.
During the Kaiyuan period, through Tang Xuanzong's hard work, the national power of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, forming a prosperous situation of "everything in three years, all countries tend to Heluo".
Tang Xuanzong adopted a series of positive measures, coupled with the hard work of the broad masses of the people, brought great order to the world.
"Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan in the past, there are still thousands of houses in Xiaoyi."
The Tang Dynasty reached a very high level in all aspects. The national strength was unprecedentedly strong, the social economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, and the population increased significantly. During the Tianbao period, the population of the Tang Dynasty reached 8000 million.
And the commerce is very developed, the domestic transportation extends in all directions, the city is prosperous, and the foreign trade is very active.
Persian and big food merchants came in droves.
Merchants of various skin colors and languages gathered in Chang'an, Luoyang, Guangzhou and other metropolises.
It made Datang form a prosperous and prosperous situation where all nations came to Korea!
Chapter 79 The Decline of the Prosperity
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji is a special existence in the history of Tang Dynasty.
On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty experienced its early development and reached its peak national strength in the early days of its reign.
On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty quickly turned from prosperity to decline in its hands.
The rapid turn from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty was naturally not caused by Concubine Yang Guifei, but was closely related to Li Longji himself.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was obsessed with political affairs and indulged in wine, sex and pleasure. After creating the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age" with one hand, Li Longji gradually became more satisfied with the peace of the world.
So Li Longji began to indulge in wine, sex and pleasure.
