Chen Tong felt that it was very easy to communicate with them. They were all experts, and they were easy to understand.

Chen Tong:

"I believe everyone understands that based on the tax system based on the land equalization system, the amount of the dynasty's finances depends on an indicator, the population base!"

"Then let's take a look at the population comparison of the Sui and Tang Dynasties."

"I won't use Li Shimin as an example this time, saying that the population is too bullying for him. After all, he took over a mess. At the beginning, there were only more than 200 million households."

At this moment, Li Shimin really wants to say, thank you so much!

Feeling that he doesn't need to be the unit of measurement, Li Shimin still feels very comfortable in his heart, but the next moment, he is not so comfortable, because Chen Tong's is his son.

Chen Tong:

"Let's look at the period of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi, the population was about 380 million households."

"And what about the population of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty?"

"When he first took over from Bei Zhou, the population reached 680 million households. Then during his reign, he made great efforts to govern the country, and coupled with a large-scale investigation of the hidden population."

"It directly brought the population to a peak of 870 million households."

"This is more than twice that of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi."

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, only at the peak of the Tang Dynasty, that is, during the Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the number of household registrations in the Tang Dynasty reached 962 million, and the peak population reached 5288 million."

"Relying on the tax collection model of the land equalization system, the national finances of the Sui Dynasty were only a little lower than those of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty."

"You can imagine how terrifying the annual taxes of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty are?"

"The most important thing is that Sui Wendi Yang Jian was very frugal and accumulated a lot of wealth, all of which was left to Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang."

"This is the reason why Emperor Sui Yang dared to build such a crazy infrastructure!"

"Rich, self-willed!"

.........

Is that so?

Emperor Xin's heart moved. The land equalization system can be said to be a sharp weapon. This is to take out a large amount of hidden wealth from the mouths of aristocratic families.

Let the country's tax revenue skyrocket.

And the land equalization system relies on the demographic dividend, the more people there are, the more taxes are collected!

With such a comparison, he has a clear understanding of the wealth of the Sui Dynasty.

The frugal and frugal Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty accumulated more than 20 years of horrible taxes comparable to half of the prosperous Kaiyuan period, all of which were left to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Sui Yang was too rich!

177. Need more money! (Ask for a monthly pass!)

In the chat group, the emperors were a little sour.

No wonder it is said that when the population reaches 5000 to [-] million, a prosperous age can be formed, because at this time, the dynasty will be blessed with a demographic dividend.

Friends of wives:

"I'll go, isn't this the rich second generation among the emperors?"

"It turns out that among the emperors, there is also a chain of contempt, and there are also poor and local tyrants."

"The rich second generation is everywhere."

Chen Tong nodded, thinking about Chongzhen, thinking about Sui Yang Emperor, probably Chongzhen would really faint in the toilet.

Zhu Di is now mad with envy, this is much richer than his Ming Dynasty!

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

"That's right, I always mentioned Li Shimin's land equalization system, and many people thought it was Li Shimin's first!"

"Actually, the Sui Dynasty enjoyed the dividends of the land equalization system earlier than the Tang Dynasty. No wonder Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui liked to track down hidden populations so much."

"There is a population check here, and this is clearly taking fat from the mouths of aristocratic family members."

Chen Tong was very satisfied to see that everyone had basically recognized this point of view.

Chen Tong:

"Now you shouldn't doubt that Emperor Sui Yang has such economic strength!"

"Don't think that Emperor Sui Yang is the same as other emperors. This is a money player."

"He built the Grand Canal, which is indeed an unprecedented amount of work, and the short time is amazing."

"But if you think about it, the wealth he squandered is beyond your imagination. This is absolutely in line with the krypton gold principle. The more krypton gold, the stronger the hack!"

"You will never understand how krypton gold players upgrade."

"Krypton gold can break everything!"

The corners of the emperors' mouths twitched, and now they are starting to hate hanging up.

Chen Tong continued to output.

Chen Tong:

"If you think about it, 200 million civilian workers are recruited every month, and you have to consider the travel time of these civilian workers. It can be said that one wave is working, and the other wave has to be recruited immediately, even one or two months in advance."

"It's really too much trouble."

"At this time, the best way is to fix a lot of people and let them continue to work on the construction site after a month's rest in a place not far away."

"But these people are not stupid. Why do they listen to you? There is a time limit for labor service, and you can't extend it just by saying it."

"Emperor Sui Yang waved his hand: What do you want to come to work? For the Grand Canal, I will give up anything."

"When the migrant workers think about it, they have missed the farming season anyway, the crops are ruined, and they are idle. They might as well earn more money, but they will tell Sui Yang Emperor honestly: they need more money!"

"Only money can soothe our tired bodies and wounded souls!"

"Will Emperor Sui Yang care about money?"

"Emperor Sui Yang is the most arrogant emperor in history, not one of them. What he pays attention to is that what can be solved with money is not a problem!"

"It can be said that the ability to make money is omnipotent."

...............

The corners of the emperors' mouths twitched, is this a matter of adding money?

But after thinking about it, it is indeed possible to add money, isn't there that saying?Money can turn ghosts around.

Zhu Di really wants to say, I also want krypton gold!

But it's a pity that he doesn't have gold krypton, so it's really uncomfortable.

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

"It turns out that people from all walks of life really hate krypton gold!"

"He's too hateful, I'll tell you irresponsibly, I hate Emperor Sui Yang to death now!"

Zhu Di is very depressed. I am worried about military expenses. You directly increase the construction speed of the Grand Canal with krypton gold. If you slow down the construction, how much money will you have left?

........................

Cao Cao's mouth twitched.

Friends of wives:

"I also want to krypton gold. It's really easy to do things with more money."

"Yes, krypton gold can destroy everything, otherwise how could Cao Cao have touched Captain Jin?"

"I think back then, when Liu Bang was trapped in Baishan Mountain, he escaped unharmed because he used money to bribe the Huns with rouge."

"Thinking about Li Shimin's Weishui alliance, didn't they evacuate the treasury, which made them retreat. Do you really think that if you tell about benevolence, righteousness and morality, they will retreat?"

"Money can really break many rules, money is really cute."

"Sometimes you can't accept it. Although hard labor and river repair are very tiring, money can heal the pain and bring the pain and happiness."

…………

Li Shimin's face turned black, you said Liu Bang, can you not take me with you?

Isn't Liu Bang's target big enough?

You can hurt me by mistake.

Qiangu Li Er:

"Chen Tong, this is all your imagination!"

"What evidence do you have?"

…………

Chen Tong chuckled.

Where can I find evidence for this?

But you said that the historical materials are full of mistakes. It is also recorded that Ma Shumou was the governor of Kaihe in the Sui Dynasty, and the story of Ma Huzi eating children is still circulating.

Someone dug his ancestral grave in order to prevent the canal from being built, so he gave Uncle Ma a child. As a result, Uncle Ma diverted the Grand Canal. This can be regarded as historical data. What do you need evidence for?

Just make it up.

Chen Tong:

"Let's put it this way, if Emperor Sui Yang abused the power of the people and caused the death of a large number of civilian husbands, as mentioned in "Kaihe Ji", 250 million people died."

"The most direct result is the peasant uprising!"

"Peasant uprisings were all because they couldn't survive, such as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the peasant uprising at the end of Tang Dynasty, etc."

"On your construction site, more than 20 people died a month, only a fool will work for you."

"Moreover, the gathering of 200 million people is simply the best trigger for a peasant uprising. Once there is panic, it will inevitably become an unstoppable torrent."
