Subverted This is the Emperor Chat Group

Li Shimin complained, feeling that the direction of the wind is not right.

Qiangu Li Er:

"You don't understand me."

"I mean, can Emperor Sui Yang give so much money?"

"You need to know how many civilian husbands Emperor Sui Yang recruited, more than 1200 million. Can he compensate everyone?"

"Can you give enough?"

"Can the farmers who build the embankment support their families?"

"This is the crux of the problem, do you understand?"

Li Shimin sneered in his heart. Although "Kaihe Ji" uses exaggerated writing techniques, you can't say it's all fake.

………………

Li Shimin's words made everyone ponder for a while, because it is true that the project is too large and there are too many people who need to be compensated.

If compensation and wages are not paid in sufficient amounts, it may also cause a large number of people to starve to death because they cannot eat enough.

Daming Palace.

Zhu Di expressed Li Shimin's point of view, looked at his son and queen, and asked their opinions.

Empress Xu blinked her beautiful eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, how much will it cost?"

Zhu Gaochi had a clearer concept, and he immediately said:

"The construction of the Grand Canal was originally a matter of spending money. Emperor Sui Yang also recruited peasants and took up farming time. The key point is that there are so many people, more than 1200 million people need compensation."

"My son thinks that even if we emptied the treasury of Daming, it would not be enough to compensate these people."

"This is much worse than a famine."

Zhu Di also nodded again and again, yes, this is a key question. He found that Li Shimin had done his homework, so he pointed out the biggest loophole in Chen Tong's logic.

Execute Your Ten Clans (Hero Lord of the Prosperous Age):

"This is indeed a problem. Violating the farming season and expropriating civilian husbands, there are too many people."

"If you want compensation, how much would Emperor Sui Yang have to spend?"

"Does he have this ability?"

The emperors all frowned, yes, this is the crux of the problem.

176. The wealth of the Sui Dynasty is comparable to the peak of the Tang Dynasty (ask for a monthly ticket!)

Money and food, wealth.

This is the key. Only when farmers have money and food can they work with peace of mind.

It's not that the employees don't work hard, the key is that the boss hasn't paid enough money!

In the chat group, the emperors all looked solemnly, how much would it cost for Emperor Sui Yang?

There was a smile in Chen Tong's eyes. To be honest, many people had no concept of the Sui Dynasty. When they thought of the Sui Dynasty, it was how cruel Emperor Sui Yang was.

But few people know how powerful the national power of the Sui Dynasty was, and the amount of food was unimaginable.

Chen Tong:

"Is there so much money in the Sui Dynasty? You remove the word "?"

"This is what people don't understand about the Sui Dynasty."

"Do you think the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and it was called the flourishing Tang Dynasty!"

"But what I want to tell you is: the end of the Tang Dynasty, only in the Tang Dynasty, the Tianbao period of Tang Xuanzong, the end of the Kaiyuan prosperity. The Tang Dynasty entered the most prosperous period, and the population reached the historical peak."

"The wealth of the Tang Dynasty surpassed that of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."

"The wealth of the Sui Dynasty is beyond your imagination!"

"Emperor Sui Yang is also the richest emperor in history. The wealth he inherited from his father made all the emperors envious. This is why Emperor Sui Yang dared to build the Grand Canal!"

………………

what?

The emperor was extremely shocked, because when he was blowing water in the chat group before, everyone recognized the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Prosperous Tang, that's not bragging, it's really prosperous to the extreme.

It can be said that the Kaiyuan prosperity is one of the most famous prosperity in history, and it is also the most famous prosperity.

Cao Cao was not calm at this moment. He walked back and forth in the study, feeling inexplicably shocked in his heart.

Friends of wives:

"How is this possible? It took the Tang Dynasty more than 130 years and the accumulation of several generations of kings to achieve the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan prosperity."

"In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty alone, his wealth was even close to the peak of the Tang Dynasty."

"It's just unbelievable!"

………………

Not to mention that Cao Cao couldn't believe it, even Li Shimin himself didn't believe it.

The wealth of the Sui Dynasty can be compared with the most prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. Doesn't this mean that he has thrown away dozens of streets during the reign of Zhenguan?

Qiangu Li Er:

"How is this possible!"

"The Kaiyuan prosperous age, it was after the rule of Zhenguan and the efforts of the subsequent kings that it achieved great prosperity."

"In the end, you told me that the founding emperor's rule surpassed its wealth only when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak?"

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

………………

Zhu Di was also confused, how rich he is.

He didn't know at all, what kind of consumption attitude should a rich emperor have?

But he also couldn't understand why the Tang Dynasty, known as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, had only a little more wealth than the founding emperor of Sui Wendi!

Execute Your Ten Clans (Hero Lord of the Prosperous Age):

"You have to give me a reasonable explanation, how did he get the money from the Sui Dynasty?"

………………

At this moment, the human emperor Xin and Qin Shihuang were staring at the chat group seriously, because the investigation of the prosperity of a dynasty was nothing more than those few indicators.

The number of households, the amount of wealth, the strength of the soldiers, the scope of the territory, and the international status.

It stands to reason that the later dynasties can easily surpass the previous dynasties. After all, the latter have the accumulation and superposition of the previous ones, the advancement of science and technology, and the development of productivity.

But the previous dynasties almost reached the peak of the later dynasties, which shows a big problem!

Either the later dynasties were too weak, or the previous dynasties were too strong!

Is the Tang Dynasty weak?

The Tang Dynasty was rare in the Yanhuang feudal dynasties, so how could it be weak?

So it can only show that the Sui Dynasty was too strong.

………………

Chen Tong shook his neck, and tapped his fingers quickly on the mechanical keyboard. At this moment, in his mind, various materials of the Sui Dynasty were shaking in his mind.

He seemed to see the two kings of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, both of whom were heroes in the world.

Chen Tong:

"The prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty mainly came from one system, that is the land equalization system!"

"The land equalization system affirms the ownership and possession of land, reduces land disputes, and is conducive to the reclamation of unowned wasteland. Therefore, it has played a positive role in the recovery and development of agricultural production."

"The most important thing is that the land equalization system collects taxes according to head and household registration, which greatly increases the fiscal revenue of the dynasty."

"This is also one of the places where Li Shimin is most proud."

"But you have to be clear, the land equalization system was not invented by Li Shimin. The land equalization system was a system that appeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"And Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty was not the first dynasty to benefit from the equal-field system."

"The Sui Dynasty is the biggest owner of this bonus."

"What is the basis of the land equalization system? The foundation is the huge population base. To put it bluntly, the land equalization system benefits from the demographic dividend."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't help exclaiming:

"How could I have forgotten this, the land equalization system, let the tax fall on the head, the household registration, so that it saves the aristocratic families from profiting from it."

He looked at his eldest son Zhu Gaochi with a very unkind look, and really wanted to say: You have read so much in your books, I asked you a question, and you didn't even know it once, what the hell are you reading? "

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

Friends of wives:

"This is the land equalization system, which directly bypasses the aristocratic families. On the one hand, the people can obtain as much land as possible, and on the other hand, it also allows the dynasty to have more taxes."

"It can be summed up in one sentence, there is no middleman to make the difference, it's really delicious!"

…………

Wu Zetian understood instantly.

Heart of the Phantom Sea:

"Then, under this system, the most important parameter to judge whether the dynasty is rich or not is the population!"

"That is to say, it is the population base."

"I understand, this is the reason why the Sui Dynasty was rich."
