Chapter 213 Sui Shu Who Can't Tucao at All
After listening to what Zhuo Qun said, everyone was very shocked and didn't know what to say.
But Li Erniu, who had been silent for many years and had no sense of emotion, suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhuo, are you telling the truth? Why don't I believe it? You need to know what more than 55 million hectares of cultivated land is."
Concept, that’s more than five billion acres of land, more than our modern world? I don’t believe it!”
"There is still so much arable land. If you calculate that there are 8.9 million households in the country. According to the six people in each household you mentioned, there are more than 53 million people. Even if you take the whole number, this is one person per person.
It’s impossible to dump the land. How could there be so much productivity in ancient times?”
"By the way, are there really so many granaries with grains? Are there really so many grains? Even if there are, it is impossible to preserve grains for fifty years. Modern people cannot do this. Those ancient people
How is it done? I really can’t figure it out. I’m not trying to argue, I just can’t figure out what’s going on. Is it true or false? Is it recorded wrongly in the book?”
Li Erniu was really a blockbuster without even saying anything. His words made everyone look at him.
"Okay, Erniu, how did you come up with this?"
"Brother Niu is awesome, you are better than us!"
Zheng Sanpao and Zhuang Yan both praised Li Erniu, which made Li Erniu touch the back of his head in embarrassment.
"My family is farmers, so I'm quite sensitive to this stuff."
Li Erniu explained with a silly smile, "Mr. Zhuo, I'm really not trying to argue."
At this time, Gao Dazhuang and Zhuo Qun led others to applaud Li Erniu. It is a good thing to have doubts. Zhuo Qun also had doubts, because the shelf life of this land and food was really nonsense.
"Let me talk about this land issue first, that is, one acre of land in the Sui Dynasty was 522 square meters, which is now 0.78 city acres. If converted, it is 4.29 billion acres of modern land. Let's see if it is suddenly less.
a lot of."
After Zhuo Qun said this, he still couldn't help complaining in his heart. This is much better than modern times. That's enough. You must know that intensive farming began from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, in the Yellow River Basin
This agricultural production technology has
It matured day by day, and in the Sui and Tang Dynasties: the intensive farming technology of paddy fields in the south gradually matured. In other words, the beauties of the Sui Dynasty had to cultivate the land intensively. Thinking about it, Zhuo Qun's liver hurts a little, just like Li Erniu.
How is it possible to do what you say?
But in fact, the Sui Dynasty really did it. Not only did it do it, it also surpassed all previous dynasties.
"Also, it's not that there wasn't so much farmland in the Tang Dynasty, but there weren't that many people. In the Sui Dynasty, there were so many people not only through births, but also through 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 nationwide census, and also innovatively adopted two new census methods, namely the large-scale survey and the loss of registered registration.
Dasuo Maungyue means that when officials from various places conduct population inspections, 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 during the next inspection.
.
Through this verification, a large number of people who were underreported or underreported were developed. The large number can be referred to this record in history: "The great merits have been achieved, and the registration was also ordered to be closed, and each one had an account to prevent concealment. So.
The total account income was 443,000 ding, and 1,641,500 new accounts were added, "which is enough to show how many people were underreported or underreported in the past."
Zhuo Qun stood there and looked at everyone and said, "Not only that, the Sui Dynasty also implemented a complete land equalization system across the country. In the first year of Kaihuang, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty promulgated the land equalization order, the content of which is recorded in the book,
The general meaning is that every adult male will receive eighty acres of land allocated by the state.
To grow crops, each woman will be given forty acres of land to grow crops. However, these lands are state-owned and cannot be bought or sold. However, the ownership of these lands still belongs to the state, and the people only have the right to use it.
Therefore, it 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 feel a little familiar?"
Gao Dazhuang didn't know how to answer these words. How could he not be familiar with the nationalization of land? However, in order to support him, Gao Dazhuang and others nodded.
"So, the things we are doing now have already happened in our history, but no one cares about it. What everyone sees is those glorious dynasties that have existed for a long time. What they see are those
In the prosperous times, there was singing and dancing, and in the troubled times, there were emperors and generals. Not many people cared about the systems of past dynasties, or in other words, many people were unaware of the existence of these systems."
"By the way, in the Sui Dynasty, some land was recovered and some was not. In the Sui Dynasty, the country would allocate twenty acres of mulberry fields to every adult male. These twenty acres do not need to be returned. They are regarded as permanent fields.
However, if you want to take it, you have to separate the family, and in the Sui Dynasty, the time for men to reach adulthood was set back one year, and the time of corvee service was also reduced. There are records: At the beginning, the soldiers were ordered to be 21 men, reduced by 12 times to 20 men.
Japanese service, this 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 stuff.
You must know that any dynasty will slander the previous dynasty in order to establish its own legitimacy. This started probably after Confucianism came to power, because there is a saying in Confucianism that it is taboo for the venerable and taboo for the relatives.
This taboo for sages was originally Confucius's principle and attitude when compiling and deleting.
Taboo is a way for Confucius to express his attitude. Taboo for the venerable to show respect, Taboo for the sage to show the virtuous, Taboo for the relatives to show closeness. People are shameful and cannot bear to write clearly. This is the loyalty of Confucius.
.The Spring and Autumn Period does not pretend to be beautiful, nor does it hide evil. It only expresses praise and criticism with careful consideration between words, and it is straight forward in taboos. Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Period is not only a great work of classics and history, but also a great literary work.
But it was different after Dong Zhongshu and others came to power. The taboo for the Venerable became to hide the bad things about the Venerable as much as possible. If you can't hide it, then try to beautify it as much as possible. In short, this is the set of things.
.
But there is nothing to say about the previous dynasty. In short, you must do what the previous dynasty said about pus on the soles of the feet and sores on the head, and do all the bad things, because if you don't say this, how can you show your justice and justice?
It's orthodox.
But the thing that makes Zhuo Qun want to complain the most is that the Sui Shu, a history book of the Sui Dynasty written in the Tang Dynasty, has been deleted and slandered as much as possible, but until the Kaiyuan period, the Tang Dynasty had not caught up with the Sui Dynasty.
