The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 246 Strategies After the Year

After Du Ruhui left, Yang Tong casually flipped through the brochure he handed over, and didn't pay much attention to it. The fusion of Hu and Han inevitably led to conflicts and conflicts. This was already expected by Yang Tong, Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, and Fang Xuanling. Among them, there are many cases. When dealing with these problems, as long as the law enforcement officials are "fair", there will be no big waves. When the aliens taste the sweets bestowed on them step by step, He will be hung away like an addiction.

Life is nothing more than the word "fame and fortune". The people of the Central Plains are like this, but they wear a layer of moral cloak, and they are a little shy when fighting for it. But the foreign race is different. They strive for the word "fame and fortune" very seriously. Say what you want.This so-called simplicity also runs through the performance of foreign races fighting for fame and fortune, which is very direct and pure.

The integration of foreign races is a long-term work, and it is now in the initial stage of letting them relax their vigilance. The integration will not be complete for a while, but judging from the speed of the integration of the scorpion race, within five years, the rule will tend to be Unite.However, most of Yang Tong's energy is devoted to the world, and naturally he pays less attention to details, resulting in many problems that cannot be cured.

Although these contradictions will become more and more acute with the increase of the population of foreign races, they will not be able to deal with these problems for a while, and they can only rely on Yang Gongren and the ministers to fill in the gaps.

Yang Tong needs to establish a complete system and a mother law!So time is tight this winter!A little drizzle inside can only be perfected step by step.

Yang Tong believes that as long as he is given enough time, he can turn all the land into an iron barrel, and then use ten years to survive and develop!At that time, even if the princes from all walks of life unite with the world's aristocratic families to attack the Sui Dynasty, they will still be able to sweep the world.

It's a pity that the power of the world will not allow him to practice his internal skills undisturbed, because the princes of all walks of life know that if peace continues, the gap will become wider and wider. Now there is a faint tendency of an alliance against him. If he wants to retreat and practice , it is impossible at all, he must be prepared to develop and play at the same time.The so-called no war for a year is actually just to appease his wife.

When the troops left Jizhou, Yang Gongren once discussed the general trend of the world.

The Taihang Mountains are the boundary. To the east is Jizhou, which is a plain, and to the west, there are many steep mountains and rivers. Capture Bingzhou, enter Guanzhong, Bashu, and even Jingzhou. Jingzhou deterred the Central Plains, making him unable to develop with peace of mind.If the Central Plains has not yet been unified, Yang Tong will develop with peace of mind, sit and watch the success or failure of the Central Plains heroes, and wait until the Central Plains princes are almost defeated before sending troops to finish.

Now Yang Tong has occupied Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and the north of Yongzhou. On the occasion of the "Xue Liang" coalition forces and Xiao Mian, they took Guanzhong.

Firstly, because of the burning of the Daxing Palace, Li Yuan's internal people are panicked, and the army's morale is chaotic. It is really difficult for Li Yuan, who is in a hurry, to fight against the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty. Second, occupying Guanzhong at this time can also narrow Li Yuan's future development space. In the case of Guan and Sanguan, Li Yuan could only take a detour to the Hexi area in addition to a strong attack. Although Li Yuan did not lack cavalry, he had to cross the border of the Qiang and Tuyuhun people if he wanted to attack Hexi by detour. Whether Tang Jun can survive the altitude sickness, the distance traveled by the detour is thousands of miles away, and the food during the march alone can empty Li Yuan's family.If Li Yuan wanted to develop, he could only go south, which forced Li Yuan to fight against the southern forces, while guarding against Yang Tong.

In this way, although there is a tendency to stand on top of each other, Yang Tong is in a dangerous position, he can attack when he advances, and he can defend when he retreats. No matter Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Li Mi or Dou Jiande, they can only fall into a passive situation. As long as Yang Tong's side is stable Once the foundation is established, we can use our troops in an all-round way to the vast land of the Central Plains and the south.

But what Du Ruhui said made Yang Tong hesitate again.

As Du Ruhui said, Guanzhong is the base of the Guanlong Group. If Li Yuan is wiped out too quickly, these big and small aristocratic families will lurk and surrender. Kill them all?If it is not eliminated, the Guanlong dignitaries will always become the source of disaster for the Sui Dynasty.

But don't fight!It doesn't work either.

Because even if Li Yuan really divides the land equally in Guanzhong, no matter how dissatisfied the aristocratic family is, but under their own threats, no matter how big the conflict is, it will be a small conflict, and they will work together to fight against the Sui Dynasty.At this time, Li Yuan only needs to promise something, no matter how dissatisfied the aristocratic family has, they can only follow Li Yuan to the end.With Li Yuan's tenacity and the manpower and material resources of the aristocratic family, he will soon have tens of thousands of soldiers.

If they are blasted out of Guanzhong by themselves, the Guanlong Group will become a rootless weed, and their dissatisfaction with Li Yuan will greatly increase. However, they have lost their foundation, but they have also lost the strength to restrain Li Yuan. At that time, Li Yuan will be free. Reining in the wild horse, everything is for Li Tang's interests, and the conflict between the two sides will further expand.

It can be said that Du Ruhui's method of sitting back and watching the conflicts between the princes and the aristocratic family was safe, but he was opportunistic and underestimated the threat of the Sui Dynasty to the aristocratic family and the strength of the aristocratic family's compromise.On the contrary, if Li Yuan is sent to the south, it will intensify Li Tang's internal strife, and if there is an extra tiger in the south, it will compress the living space of the princes of the Central Plains. The Sui Dynasty was only a little more, and the chaos in the south was an opportunity for Yang Tong.

As for the aristocratic families who choose to stay in Guanzhong, they are actually easy to deal with.Because their rise is a bloody process, as long as their criminal evidence is announced one by one, the people will tear them to pieces without the court taking action.

And after taking Guanzhong, the Silk Road can be restarted westward, so that the Great Sui Dynasty will be brilliant again.

At this point in his thoughts, Yang Tong's train of thought has become clear.

No matter from one's own military, people's livelihood, political and economic perspectives, or the enemy's current situation, or from the perspective of defense policy, taking Guanzhong is a move that has more advantages than disadvantages. The longer the unification war is delayed, the world he takes over What is the meaning of such a world that will be ten rooms and nine empty, riddled with holes, and thousands of miles uninhabited?
The sooner peace comes, the more tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people will live.

In the era of cold weapons, population is the most precious wealth. If one person is lost, one piece of wealth will be lost.

After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, the society stabilized, and then began to reorganize the population data.In the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the registered population figure reached 2900 million.In the next few years, a thorough investigation was carried out, including appearance and age, all of which were checked one by one, and the common people were also asked to expose each other. As long as there were false facts, the whole family would be distributed to the frontier, and even the chief security officer would be implicated.Therefore, in just a few years, the registered population of the country has reached 4000 million.In the fifth year of Daye, the household registration was checked again, and the population reached more than 5500 million.

Moreover, this does not count slavery.Low status means serfs, domestic servants, servants, maidservants

In the Han Dynasty, slaves originated from private property formed by land annexation. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to avoid wars, the people turned to the big manor owners and became private property.During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xianbei had Han slaves in their hands, and there were also slaves in the slightly larger and more powerful Han families.Without the existence of slaves, it would be impossible to support the words "family clan" and "manor economy".Therefore, when discussing population, ignoring the existence of humble nationality is a fundamental mistake.

In Guanzhong, there are at least a hundred families with ten thousand hectares of land, and even more families with one hundred or ten hectares of land. Who will cultivate these lands?Are they all hired?Never will!The vast majority of them are slaves who are no longer official.Therefore, it is normal to have a population of 6000 million at the peak of the Sui Dynasty, even if it was 7000 million.

Historically, after the Tang Dynasty unified the world, the population tax was reduced by about 80%.Although there are factors of war deaths here, most of them were hidden by the consortia that supported Li Tang, because after Li Tang unified the world, he rewarded the consortia that supported him, and land has always been the innate choice for rewards. After the consortium got the land, it naturally needed people to cultivate it. In this way, many people became slaves of the aristocratic family.

After Li Yuan unified the world, he also re-registered the population, but compared to Yang Jian's strict statistical methods, Li Yuan adopted a very democratic "method", which was to let the common people fill in their household registration information. From this "democratic" method From the looks of it, Li Yuan didn't touch the interests of the aristocratic family, so how could he gain any population?It is also because of this that there was a great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the population dropped by a quarter.

If Yang Tong had entered Guanzhong one day earlier, then the 'property' of the aristocratic family would not have fled, let alone be transformed into Li Tang's fighting power. Without going through too many wars, the population of the Sui Dynasty would have been preserved.This not only saved the people, but also saved the potential for the great Sui's glory again.

Yang Tong was carefully considering how and where to march, when the maid came to report: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite His Highness to have a meal..."

Hearing these words, Yang Tong's thoughts came back from his complicated thoughts, and when he looked up, the sky had already darkened.Ever since Du Ruhui left, he actually sat for a long time every time he sat down?
"Okay!" Yang Tong got up and stretched his muscles and bones, and had a clear idea about the development of next year.

He felt that since he came to this world, the development of many things has accelerated a lot. Chuluo Khan died earlier, Jieli Khan did not take advantage of the trend, and Turkic was much weaker than in history.The Khitan and Xi tribes were also extinct.However, domestic unification has been slow, which is not conducive to future development.

After the Chinese New Year, soldiers enter Guanzhong!
Liberate the people.
