Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty implemented the system of land equalization and reorganized the household registration. The implementation of the "big reading law" requires officials to regularly check the population and the household registration according to the appearance, which greatly increases the number of households. And on the basis of the implementation of the "fixed sample", the number of accounts is determined first, and the "fixed version" is compiled as the basis for tax collection. In three years (583) in Ming Taizu, 443,000 women were cleared of leucorrhea, accounting for1.646,5438+0.500. "High-impedance to states and counties, its account is not true, it is consistent for a long time, and open phase correction. If you have made great achievements, you should also analyze the account books, each accounting for an account, in case you hide it. So the account was credited with D 443,000, a new sum of164.150,000. " These measures prevent local strongmen from colluding with bureaucrats and engaging in malpractices for personal gain. Liberated the population dependent on the strongman, increased the country's labor force, and mobilized the production enthusiasm of poor farmers. The number of taxpayers in charge of the country has greatly increased.
Establish a granary
The Sui government built many granaries in various places, among which the famous ones are Luoxingcang, Luohuicang, Changcang, Liyang Cang and Guangtong Cang. Stored grain exceeds one million stones. In Zhenguan 1 1 year, Ma Zhou, the army supervisor, said to Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, "The Sui family is responsible for storing Luokou; Xijing Treasury is also used by the state and has not been exhausted so far. " The Sui Dynasty has been dead for 20 years, and Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty has been dead for 33 years, but at that time, food, cloth and silk were not used up. 1969, a Sui granary was discovered in Luoyang, including the Jiacang site. Covering an area of more than 450,000 square meters, there are 259 grain pits. There is also a grain cellar with 500,000 Jin of carbonized millet. This shows the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty.
Reform currency
Emperor Wendi unified the monetary system, abolished other chaotic ancient coins and privately minted coins, and changed them to five baht, which was called "Sui Five Bales" internationally. The meat on the back of the "Sui Five Bales" is good, and it is as heavy as Zhou Guo, and each money weighs four pounds and two ounces. "The car books are mixed and the soldiers are interested." The weights and measures were reunified in the period of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. "Sui family is mixed in north and south, old in Qi and Zhou Dynasties, old in Liang Dynasty, salty and refined, and the articles converge." In addition, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty also promulgated some benevolent policies, such as "50-year-old free agent" and "one year after the war".
encourage frugality
Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty is diligent and loves the people. Emperor Wendi grew up in a temple when he was a child, and he was a vegetarian in plain clothes.
Sui five baht
Living frugally has helped him develop a frugal character. Although he is the son of heaven, he doesn't care about meat and doesn't need jade ornaments. The concubines in the palace don't make beautiful decorations, so he is very frugal. He knew the importance of thrift, taught the prince to be frugal, and said that the country could not maintain long-term stability because of extravagance and corruption. He also advocated frugality among officials. Due to frugality and less exploitation, people can live and work in peace and contentment, the number of registered permanent residence and property has increased sharply, and other measures to promote production have led to prosperity in all walks of life and economy in a short time.
The Tailing Mausoleum of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was built in the fourth year of Sui Renshou. In fact, it is the burial tomb of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and Queen Dugu. The tomb is 27.4 meters high, bucket-shaped and rammed. The ground floor covers an area of 26,560 square meters. The top of the tomb is flat and rectangular, 48 meters long from east to west and 38 meters wide from north to south. The bottom of the mausoleum has been excavated for 3-5 meters, and the remaining length is east-west 166 meters and north-south 160 meters. The rammed earth city wall was originally built around the tomb, but now it has been basically destroyed. Only the residual wall in the north city is about 130 meters long and the highest point is 1. 2 meters, the remaining width is 5. 5 meters. The rammed layer is clear and the rammed nest is obvious. After preliminary drilling, Lingyuan is 756 meters long from east to west and 652 meters wide from north to south, with a total area of 49. 290 thousand square meters. A large number of brick fragments were found in the four corners and middle of the city wall, which should be the remains of the Quelou and the city gate.
Tailing is just like the organizational system in Qin and Han Dynasties. However, it may be that Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty left a legacy. The mausoleum of the founding emperor is far less than that of the Qin and Han Dynasties and other founding emperors. According to the burial system of the Western Han Dynasty, in the second year of the emperor's accession to the throne, he began to set aside one-third of the national tax revenue every year to build the emperor's tomb, namely Shouling. The imperial tomb covers an area of seven hectares, the mausoleum cave covers an area of one hectare, the mausoleum is twelve feet high and thirteen feet deep, and the tomb is one foot and seven feet high. There are four pyramids, all of which can be driven by six horses Four hidden swords and Fu Nu organs are buried to prevent grave robbery. The deceased was dressed in gold and jade clothes with a jade cicada in his mouth ... So, there must be a lot of gold, silver, jewels and precious antiques in Emperor Wendi's mausoleum. Is it really as stipulated in the burial system of the Han Dynasty? In modern times, some experts and scholars read the classics and visited the folk villages around Tailing. They found that there was no record of burying Tailing in the classics, and the local people all said that Tailing had no treasure to steal, saying that warlords and bandits had wandered around for nothing.
