"Haha, I wonder where Boss Yang wants me to start?" I asked with a smile.

"Now that it is the Great Sui Dynasty, let's start with the Great Sui Dynasty. I hope the guests will give you advice." Yang Tiandao's tone became more respectful.

"Okay," I put my hands behind my back and continued like a story: "Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, Hongnong Huayin, his father Yang Zhong was one of the twelve generals of the Western Wei Dynasty. At the age of 15, he was awarded the title of the General of the Sanqi, General of the Cheqi, and General of Yitong Sansi for his father's merits. He was appointed as Duke of Ji County. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou, he inherited the title of Duke of Sui and his eldest daughter was the Crown Prince. Later, he entered the palace to assist in the administration. The next year, he forced Emperor Jing of Zhou to give up the throne, establish the Sui Dynasty, establish the capital of Chang'an, and take the year name as Kaihuang. After eight years of war, Emperor Wen of Sui completed the unification of the north and the south, ending the split that lasted for nearly three hundred years since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. He had five major achievements in his life, which can be said to be his greatest achievement.

From the first year of Kaihuang, Emperor Wen of Sui started a series of reforms. He first abolished the inappropriate official system of Northern Zhou and basically established the system of three provinces and six ministries to help strengthen centralization. The three provinces are the Shangshu Province, Menxia Province, and Neishi (Zhongshu) Province. The chief and deputy chiefs of these three provinces, namely the Shangshu Province, the Order of the Shangshu Province, Pushe, the Nayan of the Menxia Province, and the Supervisor of the Inner History Province, are actually prime ministers, and the three provinces are the highest government agencies, responsible for decision-making, deliberation and execution respectively. The Shangshu Province has the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Duguan, and the Ministry of Works, and each Cao has one Shangshu, who is in charge of the government affairs of the headquarters. After the Duguan, it was changed to the Ministry of Revenue, and after the Duguan, it was changed to the Ministry of Justice. This is the Central Three Provinces and Six Ministry system.

In addition, there were two departments (Civilians, Dushui), 11 Temples (Taichang, Dali, Guozi, Guanglu, Weiwei, Zongzheng, Taipu, Honglu, Siong, Taifu, Jiangzuo) and other institutions responsible for the daily administrative affairs of the court. In terms of local administrative institutions, the three-level system of prefecture, county and county were changed to prefecture, county and county, and county were abolished. The local administrative organization was simplified, and the appointment power of officials was controlled by the Ministry of Personnel, and local officials were prohibited from hiring officials on the spot. Not only did they save state expenses, but they also improved administrative efficiency and were conducive to centralized rule. This was also his second achievement, because he created a new centralized regime system for the court.

In the first year of Kaihuang, ministers Gao, Zheng Yi and Yang Su ordered to renew the new law, which was to make a major reform of the laws and regulations of the Northern Dynasties and the Zhou Dynasty in the past. In the third year of Kaihuang, Su Wei and Niu Hong were ordered to carry out the second reform. The main purpose was to weigh the severity of the pros and cons, to seek justice, abolish torture, and to be clear and unabridged. Therefore, twelve criminal laws were formulated, which was the famous "Kaihuang Law".

The "Kaihuang Law" is divided into 12 chapters. Its titles are: the law of the name, the law of the ward, the law of the ban, the law of the household marriage, the law of the stable and the law of the treason, the law of the thief, the law of the fight, the law of the fraud, the law of the miscellaneous law, the law of the arrest and the law of the culprit. Although the article was compiled based on the law of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the content is much simpler. There are five types of sentences: one is the death penalty, the second is the punishment of the survivor, the third is the punishment of the imprisonment, the fourth is the punishment of the rod, and the fifth is the punishment of the flogging. In addition, the death penalty is only divided into two types, and the sentence of exile is not more than five years; the punishment of the rod is divided into sixty to one hundred and five levels, and the people are indecent and wronged, and the people have to appeal to the court in turn. At the same time, the "Kaihuang Law" also abolished some tortures, such as the punishment of owl, the punishment of the owl, the punishment of the castle, and the castle, and there is no need for the punishment of genocide. At the same time, some criminal laws are reduced, and 81 articles of death are reduced, and 154 articles of crimes are reduced, and more than 1,000 articles of crimes are retained, and a total of 500 articles are retained.

In addition to reunifying weights and currency, Emperor Wen of Sui also took many economic measures to consolidate his rule. He re-issued the equal land order. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the equal land system and the rent system had begun to be implemented. Later, the Northern Dynasties continued to follow the rules, with slight changes. In the second year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, the equal land order was re-issued. From the kings below the seventh rank, the eternal land was reduced from 100 hectares to 40 hectares. As for ordinary people, Ding Man received twenty acres of Yongye land, eighty acres of unearthed land, and the same was true for slaves. In addition, it was stipulated that those who received land and undertook taxes and labor would be raised from 18 to 21 years old.

The service was increased from eleven years old to sixteen years old, and the time for labor was reduced from one month to twenty days a year. Ding Man, who had not been sent to the service, could be replaced by silk. The household silk was reduced from one piece of four zhang to two zhang. Those who were over fifty years old could also be reduced. In this way, the taxes and service in the early Sui Dynasty were greatly reduced than those in the previous dynasties, and the people were able to recuperate and rehabilitate. By the ninth year of Kaihuang, the household registration had increased to six or seven million people, and the total income of renting the Yongtuan Commission also increased rapidly. The warehouses that appeared seven years ago in the Sui Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Fuku Mountains were the result of the implementation of the Juntian Order. This was his third achievement.

Emperor Wen of Sui also rectified the system of government troops and strengthened the central government's control over the army. The system of government troops originated from the policy of Xianbei people serving in the Northern Wei Dynasty and Han people serving in agriculture. The whole family of government troops could be exempted from taxes and service, and becoming a soldier became the patent of the Xianbei people. This policy obviously had a segregation. In addition, the soldiers established a separate household registration and were completely separated from production. In fact, they were armed by local tyrants, and the power to command military power did not belong to the central government. In the late Northern Zhou Dynasty, due to the situation, the Han people were also recruited as government troops. When Yang Jian was the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he ordered the Western Wei Dynasty to receive the Han people with the Xianbei surname.

The Han surname was restored and the regulations that Xianbei people joined the army and Han people worked in agriculture began to break the regulations. In the tenth year of Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the whole family of the government to be registered in the prefectures and counties, farmed in the fields, changed military status to nationality, participated in production, and integrated military status. The government system and the equal-field system were combined, and the soldiers themselves were led by the military government. This measure not only ensured the country's military source, but also greatly increased the agricultural household registration, promoted the development of agriculture, and was more adapted to national integration and the trend of the times, which was conducive to national unity and national unity. This was his fourth achievement.

The fifth achievement of Emperor Wen of Sui was to establish the imperial examination system and abolish the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. At the beginning, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered each state to select three beautiful and talented people every year to be appointed to the central government for officials. Later, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered that the capital officials were above the fifth rank and the local officials were in charge of the governors, and that the virtuous and talented people should be responsible for the virtuous and talented people. By the time of Emperor Yang of Sui, ten imperial examinations were designated and the Jinshi examinations were opened, and talents were selected based on examinations and poetry examinations, and talents with "superbright literary talent" were selected. This marked the emergence of the imperial examination system. The establishment of the imperial examination system

, focusing on talent and learning rather than family background, weakening the hereditary privileges of the aristocratic families. This kind of reform of "supporting people based on merit" had a great impact on future generations. The series of reform measures carried out by Emperor Wen of Sui played a positive role in weakening local tyrants and strengthening centralization. Emperor Wen of Sui reigned for 24 years, and the country was prosperous in the later period, with a large increase in households, and the abundant storage was rare in history. The country was peaceful, and people from north and south could rest, and the society showed an unprecedented prosperity. It can be called the "Kaihuang Governance"

Haha, you have a lot of contributions to this, right? The seven of the "Tianya Hai Pavilion" outside are friends."

Yang Kai, who was listening to my rumor, showed an excited and admirable expression on his face. He was not surprised at all when he heard what I said in the last sentence, as if it should have been like this.

"Haha, Young Master Xiaoyao is so powerful. We have done our best to hold our breath and concentrate, but you still hear it." As soon as he finished speaking, four women and three men walked in from outside the door. After introducing me, I found out their respective identities and names.

"Tianzun" Dongfang Yanran, "Haizun" Nangong Qian, "Elder Wind" Bei Mingyue, and "Elder Cloud" Situ Fei. These four girls are all about the appearance of falling fish and falling geese, and look as if they are ashamed of flowers. They are between the ages of eighteen or nineteen. It is really unexpected that I am so young.

Later I learned that the four of them took over the post of the sect only a year ago. When the second elder of the previous two generations took over, they would transmit their skills and essence to them according to the physique of the successors, and then they would sit in the "tomb" and ascend to the "tomb". Therefore, the martial arts of the four Dongfang Yanran and the other party were rapidly improved when they took over. Although they are now introduced Wuming, they have entered the ranks of top masters in the world.

Dong Fang, Luoyang Branch, Han Lei, Yangzhou Branch, Wang Lie, and Yang Tian, ​​Chang'an Branch.

These eight people can also be collectively called the eight elders in the sect.

Although this elegant room is quite small, so many people came in all of a sudden, it seemed a little crowded. At this time, the "Tianzun" Dongfang Yanran respectfully said: "I just heard that I have benefited a lot from my grandson Gao Lu. Please continue to talk about this troubled times. Let me listen here."

I smiled at her meaningfully, and Dongfang Yanran's face turned red and she looked very beautiful. I laughed with satisfaction:

"Yang Jian was indeed a famous lord, but unfortunately, his son Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, was really stupid and arrogant, extravagant. During his reign, all the labors were prosperous and the people were exhausted. He built only the eastern capital Luoyang, and sent two million people to the construction site every month. He built a large garden in the western suburbs, with a surrounding of one hundred kilometers. He picked large wooden pillars from the south of the Yangtze River and transported them to the eastern capital. Each pillar had to be delivered back and forth, and there were endless streams along the way. According to records, the "government and view of the halls and towers in the West Garden were extremely gorgeous" and I don't know how much wealth the people had plundered and wasted.

Yang Guangbian launched three consecutive wars against Goryeo from the seventh year to the tenth year of Daye. In the seventh year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui recruited a large number of soldiers, transferred grain, and built warships. Under the supervision of the Sui Dynasty officials, the shipbuilders stood in the water day and night, with maggots growing below their waists, and many people died. The military service recruited by the government was concentrated from all over the country to Youzhou (now Hebei, Liaoning area) and continued; the civilians who transported food, weapons, armor and siege machinery for thousands of miles, and they did not go on a long journey day and night

The terrible. Many people have gone but never returned, and their bodies are "smelling and filthy roads" and are very miserable. In the countryside, "the crops are lost and the fields are deserted." Shandong and Hebei have always been the center of the Sui rulers' plundering of wealth, and the place with the most recruitment and the deepest victims in the war to attack Goryeo. In addition, the floods this summer, the disaster in Shandong was particularly serious, and "the people are poor and the financial resources are exhausted." The poor peasants in the dilemma of hunger and cold can no longer bear it. The beacon of peasant uprisings was first ignited here.

In the seventh year of Daye, Wang Bo, a blacksmith in Zouping County, Shandong, led the poor peasants to raise the first banner of anti-Sui Dynasty. The rebel army occupied Changbai Mountain, and the king claimed to be Zhishilang. Wang Bo attacked the attack, like dry fire, and the country immediately responded. In the same year, Liu Badao, Sun Anzu of Zhangnan, and Gao Shida, the Huiren, held uprisings one after another. In the ninth year of Daye, Menghai Duke of Jiyin, Mengrang of Qijun, Guo Fangyu of Beihai, Geqian of Hejian, and Sun Xuanya of Bohai successively rose up one after another. In the same year, Liu Yuanjin of Yuhang, Han Prime Minister of Liang County, Zhu Xie of Wu County, Fufeng Xianghaiming, Du Fuwei of Huainan and others gathered to revolt. In just two years, the rebel army across the country developed to more than a hundred branches, with a population of millions, and the world of the Sui Dynasty was already shaking.

There are three more powerful rebel troops now: one is the Wagang Army in Henan, the other is the Dou Jiande Army in Hebei, and the other is the Du Fuwei Army in the Jianghuai region. The Jianghuai Army captured Liyang a few days ago and was even more famous. However, although Du Fuwei was famous, it was not a material for fighting for the world. It was not only tolerant of his subordinates, but also tolerant of small profits in front of him, and forced his military service to join the army, which made the heavens angry and the people resented the villages and towns abandoned, but it was actually a matter of drinking doves to quench thirst.

The Wagang Army was the strongest of the three peasant uprising troops. In the seventh year of Daye, Zhai Rang gathered troops to rebel in Wagangzhai, and raised troops to fight against the Sui Dynasty. In Shandong and Henan, farmers participated one after another. Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Li Mi, and Wang Bodang led their troops to join Wagangdo, and the team grew rapidly. In the 12th year of Daye, Li Mi suggested to Zhai Rang: "First take Xingyang, settle the military valley, wait for the soldiers and horses to be rich, and then compete for profit with others." Xingyang was an important military stronghold in the Sui Dynasty. Zhai Rang personally led his troops to capture Jindi Pass, the gateway of Xingyang and the surrounding counties. In October of the same year, Emperor Yang of Sui sent 20,000 main forces of the Sui army to suppress. The Wagang Army adopted the tactic of luring the enemy into depth and ambushing the troops to annihilate the Sui army. Zhang Xutuo, the "Ambassador of Acceptance" on Henan Road, was also killed even if he failed to break through. The peasant uprising army won the victory in Xingyang, which shocked Henan.

However, Li Mi, the general under Zhai Rang, was particularly powerful than him. He was well versed in military tactics and knew how to win people's hearts. Such a master was unknown, and something would happen in the future. If Qu Rang and Li Mi had an internal conflict, the person who would have arisen in that generation would definitely be Dou Jiande, a native of Qinghe. This man was the overlord of Hebei and was known as the village chief. Later, because his family and friends were killed by Yang Guang, he angrily joined Gao Shida's uprising army. Gao Shida was killed in battle, and this uprising army fell into his hands. This man's martial arts had reached the realm of martial arts, and he had 100,000 people under him. Based on Gao Jipo, his power was directly across the Yellow River and should not be ignored.

Although their strength is very strong, it is not easy to win the world. Not to mention other rebels, the four major lords with strong strength are their biggest opponents. The four major lords have many talents and will never sit and see the whereabouts of the Sui family fall into the hands of the Xun family. This kind of clan's views are deeply rooted and no one can change them. The best place for the four lords is that they have many outstanding officials and are proficient in governing the country. This is beyond the reach of ordinary people in the uprisings. Du Fuwei is the best example. Even if he has high martial arts skills, he will still be able to become a great person?

The Li family is particularly strong now. Li Yuan is already very ambitious, and what he lacks now is an excuse to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. As I expected, Li Yuan will rebel within a year. Although his son Li Shimin was young, he was very resourceful, generous and proficient in military tactics. In the future, the Li family will prosper.

Haha, the above tools are just a random talk, please don’t laugh at me.” I said humbly.

The eight people were stunned for a long time, but still couldn't hide the horror, amazement, admiration and admiration on their faces. Dongfang Yanran looked at the seven people who were as excited as her at this time. The seven people turned their heads and nodded at her at the same time, as if they had reached a tacit understanding. At this time, she fucked a trembling voice and said to me: "Young Master Xiaoyao knows that today is the day of the annual external meeting of our "Tianya Hai Pavilion", but we are fortunate to hear the Gao Lu of Xiaoyao, which is God's will. Our intention is to come to you. Isn't it that your son is willing to realize the long-cherished wish of our eight people and fulfill our mission?" At the end of his speech, his voice was already trembling.

"Don't you test your martial arts anymore?" I asked excitedly, after all, this is an extremely powerful sect.

"Young Master is joking. You can make the 'Yi Jian Master' Fu Cailin suddenly realize the tenth level of the 'Nine Profound Art' in Goryeo with just one word, and his cultivation is comparable to us." Nangong Qian replied respectfully. After all, with the support of the powerful strength of "Tianya Hai Pavilion", the force has become not very important. The most important thing is ambition, a clear mind and extraordinary leadership analysis ability. This is what these people need most and admire the most.

"Okay! From now on, I, Xiaoyaoke, will succeed the position of the sect leader of the 'Tianya Hai Pavilion', choose a master to help achieve the emperor's hegemony, and restore a pure peace in the world!"
Chapter completed!
