The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 607 GDP comparison of various dynasties, Guangshen: Our Sui Dynasty is invincible

The Pope's video came to an end, and everyone had already memorized the origin and development of the Papal States.

"In the final analysis, it's all about power. If the Roman Empire hadn't failed, the Papal States probably wouldn't have existed!"

Great Qin, Ying Zheng’s sharp comments.

All the ministers around nodded. As long as there was a powerful government above their heads, any religion would be nothing but a piece of shit.

At the same time, during the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Standing on the Tower of Babel in the sacred city of Luoyang, General Erzhu Rong snorted.

"Religion? Back then, Han Baling was so powerful, but he turned into a pile of bones, didn't he?"

Looking back to the past, Po Liu Han Baling rose to prominence at the speed of light. He used Buddhism to deceive people among the people, saying that he was the true Buddha who had come to the world and could save all living beings.

He then launched a rebellion and in a short period of time gathered a crowd of one million, even people in Hedong rebelled.

The believers believed that they were invulnerable to swords and guns and had received the Buddha's blessing and enlightenment.

So they were fearless and sent themselves to die one after another. Under such circumstances, Erzhu Rong suppressed them single-handedly and prevented the other side from making any waves.

This is the strength of the army!

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yu nodded slightly. He agreed with Erzhu Rong. After all, the so-called religious Papal State was also a secular regime.

The great uprising of Sun En, the Tianshi Dao, frightened the small Eastern Jin court, which led to his rise. A generation of outstanding generals emerged out of nowhere and attracted everyone's attention.

In China, religion is always a stepping stone for the strong.

And above the sky, as the Pope's introduction came to an end, new videos rolled in, and the titles made many emperors' eyes light up.

[An inventory of the proportion of China's GDP in each dynasty to the world's total output value. ]

[As we all know, GDP is the gross domestic product. This inventory is calculated based on the purchasing power and statistics at the time, so it can only be roughly calculated. Please use it as a reference.]

"gdp!"

Tang Dynasty, Tianbao period.

The elderly Li Longji's eyes lit up. He had created the Kaiyuan Prosperity in the first half of his life. “A small town still has tens of thousands of households” was a portrayal of his prosperous times!

If this is calculated as GDP, it would take off!
Thinking of this, Li Longji, although old at heart, was young, so he stood up and ordered the Music Bureau to send female musicians, as he wanted to beat drums and dance!

On the other hand, Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang knew that he would die in the second generation, but he also wanted to see how the GDP of Qin Shi Huang, which he founded, ranked in the world.

Under the attention of many emperors, the first one to appear was...

[Han Dynasty, from a comprehensive point of view, because there was a prosperous Roman Empire on the other side of the world, and after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wealth was concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families. 】

[So the GDP of the Han Dynasty accounted for 26% of the world at that time]

"The Roman Empire!"

The Han Dynasty, Liu Che looked at the sky, thoughtfully. In the previous video, he saw the scene of the Roman Empire.

It has to be said that the Roman Empire was truly powerful during its heyday. Three million Roman citizens were equivalent to three million military nobles.

Such a large number of grassroots landlords are a nightmare for any empire.

“We’ll see later!”

Liu Che thought about it, looked towards the north, and a bold idea came to his mind.

On the other side, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu looked up at the sky with a dark face.

"What do you mean by all the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the aristocratic families? Does it mean that my Later Han Dynasty is lagging behind?"

In the hall, all the ministers lowered their heads and dared not look up, allowing the emperor to vent his dissatisfaction.

After all, Liu Xiu could only be angry for a short while, as the world still had to rely on aristocratic families to rule.

In the Great Qin, Ying Zheng's low mood was transmitted to every court official. "Where is my Great Qin?"

His words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

But no one dared to answer this question. Everyone knew that according to historical trajectory, the 14-year notification time of the Qin Dynasty was not enough for two statistical cycles.

What the hell is there to calculate?

But after saying these words, I'm afraid I won't see the sun tomorrow.

Everyone can only pretend to be ignorant even though they know the truth.

And this is when the next dynasty comes.

[The Sui Dynasty accounted for 70% of the world's GDP at that time]

[This is undoubtedly a surprising statistic, but when we look back at that era, we will take it for granted. ]

【The 369 years of chaos during the Northern and Southern Dynasties not only destroyed the Central Plains, but also radiated to the surrounding areas. At the same time, the Roman Empire also began to split and fell into the Dark Ages.】

[When the Sui Dynasty was established, the West had not yet emerged from the chaos and darkness, let alone developing its economy. ]

"Hahaha! It's worthy of being my Great Sui Dynasty! My Great Sui Dynasty is invincible!"

In Jiangdu, Yang Guang patted his exposed chest and a confident look appeared on his face.

The ministers around him bowed and saluted, expressing that they felt extremely honored to be bathed in the glory of the Sui Dynasty.

Afterwards, Guangshen waved his hand, indicating that he had accepted everyone's wishes. Since the country was so rich, let's get ready and march north to attack the Turks!
This one sentence made all the ministers give up, and we can only say that it has to be Guangshen.

On the other hand, as the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the man who created the Kaihuang Reign, Yang Jian touched his chin with a look of helplessness.

I left behind such a rich fortune, how on earth did you, a prodigal son, squander it all?
Dugu Jialuo pulled out her young second son Yang Guang and threw him to her husband.

The meaning is very clear, just hit me!

As a result, the whole city of Daxing in the Sui Dynasty erupted with howls like those of a pig being slaughtered, which made those who heard it sad and those who listened to it burst into tears!

The two generations of Sui emperors had a very positive attitude towards this, but Li Shimin, as Yang Guang's cousin, was a little bit reluctant to agree with it.

During the Sui Dynasty, people suffered in dire straits!

How can the GDP be so high? Is it possible that under such circumstances, the economy of the Sui Dynasty is still developing?

"Ahem, your majesty, is there a possibility that the wealth of the Sui Dynasty is not in the hands of the lower-class people, but in the hands of the nobles?"

Wei Zheng stood up, bowed, and spoke softly.

After hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly realized that he had made an empiricist mistake.

Li Shimin loved the people, so he felt that others also loved the people and would not rob the wealth of the lower-class people.

But in fact, the GDP of the Sui Dynasty looked high, but that was raised by Yang Jian and his son Yang Guang, who built palaces and granaries.

The circulation of money can generate wealth, which is an irrefutable truth.

"Then wouldn't the Tang Dynasty be more prosperous? It wouldn't occupy 90% of the market, right?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin became even more excited.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty's inventory was just coming.

[The Tang Dynasty accounted for 59% of the world's GDP at the time, the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine) accounted for 9%, the Arab Empire accounted for 7%, and the major city-states of India contributed 7% in total]

[The Tang Dynasty stretches for thousands of miles, but economically, its trade is too dependent on Arabia and India, so it is not high. ]

"How could the Tang Dynasty be inferior to the Sui Dynasty? Am I not as good as Guangshen?"

When Li Shimin thought of this cheap cousin, he gnashed his teeth in hatred. He has always regarded it as his mission to surpass him, but now he says that he cannot beat him in terms of GDP?
