Chapter 20 Be cruel to yourself and even more cruel to others!

"The Great Wall cannot block the Turkic cavalry's front line, but unification can be done!!!"

With just one sentence, Yang Jian's image of dark and cruel at the beginning immediately turned 180 degrees!

Liu Xiu showed a hint of true expression and said to himself: "Haha, why can this guy be ranked above me? It turns out that he has made great achievements in foreign wars!"

The most important and urgent thing for Liu Xiu at the moment is to train the new army while resting with the people.

As long as one or two years pass, when people's livelihood improves and the strong army takes shape, Liu Xiu will overturn his conservative strategic policy in history and actively seek to destroy the Huns!

A glimmer flashed across Yang Jian's eyes and he said to himself: "I just know! I will definitely not disappoint everyone in the world!"

[The Turks' attack this time is not only fast but also has a very long front line. It can be said that the entire Great Wall was marked by the Turks on their front line!]

[When facing the aggressive Turkic people, a man in the Sui Dynasty offered a clever plan for Yang Jian!]

[With his clever plan, Yang Jian achieved the result of turning the world in the decisive battle with the Turks!]

"Who is it?"

"What's the trick?"

Many people are curious about what kind of strange man has offered Yang Jian a strange strategy that can turn the world around.

Yang Jian himself was thinking secretly, "The oracle has predicted that I, the Sui Dynasty, will it unify the world, but if the oracle is known by the Southern Chen and the Turks, will they unite to deal with me?"

"Ah, I don't know whether this oracle is a blessing or a disaster. I can only pray that the reward Su Shenren will give me will play a greater role."

[However, the achievements of the literary governance of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian were slightly better than those of the martial arts.]

[In terms of people's livelihood, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian implemented a policy of mercy and kindness towards ordinary people.

After achieving the unification of the north and the south, Emperor Wen of Sui inherited and developed the equal land equalization system established during the period of Emperor Xiaowen, overturned the land ownership of the large landlords left over from the southern region, and implemented the equal land equalization system throughout the country in accordance with the family monogamy system, obtained the prescribed uncovered fields and mulberry fields, paid rent and transferred, and realized the fair system of land distribution to the greatest extent.

The equal-field system established the basis for the feudal dynasty's "state-owned land". Although it was not clearly stated in the edict or inscription, the state ownership was still reflected in the management of granting land to return land.]

Seeing this, the emperors before the Sui Dynasty couldn't help but lit up, "This is a good idea! It can effectively avoid the existence of Yinhu and greatly increase tax revenue!"

"But how can we let those wealthy families spit out the fields from their mouths? I have to think about it carefully!"

However, although the equal-field system is good, it still has its own flaws, so it was later abolished.

[Political, Yang Jian established the five provinces and six Cao systems, which improved the central government's administrative efficiency, divided power, and avoided ministers from monopolizing power. Later, the three provinces and six ministers system began with the five provinces and six Cao systems.]

[But Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian’s primary achievement in civil governance should still be the system of enacting imperial examinations and electing officials!

This system broke the barriers for the monopoly of the aristocratic class in promoting resources and provided a valuable upward channel for poor families and ordinary people. The imperial examination system has also lasted for thousands of years and has become a standard system for all feudal dynasties to select talents in later generations.]

"All the evil exam-oriented education!" Su Qian couldn't help but sigh.

However, he had to admit that the college entrance examination was the relatively fairest channel for growth.

"Hey! The imperial examination system!" Liu Che and Liu Xiu seemed to have found a magic weapon to deal with the aristocratic families.

And the wealthy families in these two worlds felt a crisis that was about to come!

The video continues,

[Economic, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian reduced taxes from the people and promoted water conservancy, encouraged domestic business and cultural exchanges, and promoted the prosperity of domestic economy and culture.]

[It is precisely because Yang Jian achieved social stability during his reign and promoted the great integration of the Han and Hu ethnic groups that the diversity of Chinese ethnic groups in later generations was achieved and the inclusiveness of Chinese culture was greatly enhanced!]

"Sure enough, he is an emperor with excellent civil and military skills!"

"Yang Jian is indeed outstanding in his position to be ranked sixth!"

The emperors were all sighing, and at the same time they were also thinking about what useful information and knowledge they could exchange with Yang Jian.

[After taking stock of the achievements of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, then we will take stock of Yang Jian’s faults.]

"It seems that many emperors have done such things."

Speaking of faults, everyone immediately thought of what they said in the previous video, "Yang Jian has repeatedly launched a prison and killed all the heroes who helped him seize power."

[Emperor Wen of Sui was frugal and loving the people, but in his later years he began to indulge in enjoyment, spend money and seek enjoyment.]

[He is strict in character, he is strict in custody himself and even strict in custody others.

King Yang Jun of Qin was poisoned by his wife, but because he did not meet Yang Jian's request, he not only did not receive his father's love, but was instead dismissed from his official position.

The minister pleaded for mercy, and Yang Jian also failed to forgive him because the prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people.

Even after Yang Jun's death, Yang Jian refused to erect a monument for him, and he was extremely cruel and ruthless.]

[Because of Emperor Wen’s suspicion and the frame-up of Yang Guang and others, King Shu Yang Xiu was also deposed.

He treated his sons very harshly, let alone others.

Yang Jian often blames ministers whom he is dissatisfied with, kills, and dismisses the meritorious officials. Very few meritorious officials can end well.]

Seeing this, Yang Jian's son and the heroes all turned green.

Yang Jian himself showed a solemn expression. He asked himself, "I, am I really that harsh?"

[Yang Jian is strict in character and uses it strictly.

He believed in the use of heavy punishments in troubled times, and if he steals a penny, he would be sentenced to death. What's more extreme is that he executed three young people who stole melons because of thirst.

Under such strict laws, the whole society was in panic.

This directly led to the fact that even in the late Sui Dynasty, even if the treasury is full, officials did not dare to open warehouses to provide disaster relief. The country is rich but the people are in poverty, and eventually died.]

"This person is a bit strange. He is so harsh that he is inhuman!" Liu Bang didn't understand. How could a person be so harsh?

"It seems that Yang Jian did not stick to his original intention and eventually turned from a benevolent lord to a tyrant." Liu Xiu sighed.

[Emperor Wen of Sui did not know the general.

He suspected that the officials had embezzled and accepted bribes, but because there was no evidence, he actually sent his subordinates to deliberately use money to bribe the minor officials, and if anyone accepted it, he would beheaded immediately.

As the emperor, he was fishing and enforcing the law, which was a bit of a loss of the general principles of the king.]

Seeing this, all the officials who saw the video in this time and space of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, their faces turned white again at this moment.

Is this a human? Maybe it should be a dog!

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with this method very much, "Corrupt officials should be killed!"

[Although Emperor Wen of Sui gradually became stupid, suspicious, and bloodthirsty in his later years, the mistakes he made in his later years still could not conceal the great achievements he had established.]

[At least during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, almost all the people were in an environment of peace and peace in the world.]

[Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, can also be regarded as a wise ruler.]

The people all breathed a sigh of relief, but the officials of all sizes were thrilling in their hearts.

[The sixth place in the ten most meritorious emperors in history: Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, the inventory is completed!]
