[Indeed, during Li Longji’s period, the cultivated land area reached an astonishing 660 million acres, and the south was fully developed. History records that “the cultivators are working hard, the mountains are full of ravines, and the grass is full of grass”! 】

[Due to the improvement of the curved shaft plow, farming efficiency has been greatly improved, granaries across the country are filled with grain, the next generation of cities on the Yellow River are extremely prosperous, and Tang tea, porcelain, and Tang Sancai are exported to the world. 】

The BGM suddenly changed and became heavy.

The common people in the prosperous age reappeared.

[But the prosperity does not belong to the people, but to a small number of nobles, bureaucrats and businessmen! 】

[For ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was indeed wealthy, but the gap between the rich and the poor was widening. Their biggest pursuit was that the people at the bottom could still have enough to eat! 】

[In the early Tang Dynasty, the system of integrating military and peasantry was implemented. To put it simply, the state uniformly distributed land to farmers for farming, but farmers needed to pay land rent, household tax, and perform military service! 】

[During Li Shimin’s period, this system of integrating soldiers and farmers was of great benefit. It not only ensured the people’s land ownership, but also reduced military expenditures! 】

[However, this system has serious drawbacks. As the political situation stabilizes, the population begins to increase rapidly, but the land controlled by the state is fixed, which leads to the gradual reduction of the share of land allocated to farmers. 】

[During Li Shimin’s time, each household could get 120 acres of land, but by Tang Gaozong’s time, they didn’t even get half of it. 】

[Even in densely populated areas with too many people, the land allocated to them is less. Some families are allocated less than 5 acres of land! 】

[However, neither land rent nor household tax has been reduced. This has also led to the fact that with the development of the times, the country has become richer and stronger, but ordinary people have become poorer. 】

[Once taxes cannot be paid and life becomes difficult, fleeing to avoid taxes becomes a necessary option. 】

[During the Kaihuang period, it is recorded in history that “almost half of the world’s household registrations were lost.” This is by no means an exaggeration. Some of these fleeing peasants fled into the mountains and forests, and some directly became thieves! 】

[Faced with this phenomenon, the most direct method taken by the government is to search. 】

[In 721, Li Longji ordered a thorough investigation of the refugees and found 800,000 households of refugees. Li Longji asked these refugees to pay taxes again! 】

[But if you can afford to pay taxes, who is willing to flee? 】

[In the 24th year of Kaiyuan, the “Edict of Listening to the Escapers and Returning to Their Heads” stated that “Li Meng are unemployed and their household registrations are withered.” 】

[According to statistics, the registered population during the Kaiyuan period was 52.88 million, of which more than 45 million were non-payers of taxes. They were mainly servants, slaves and escaped farmers! 】

[There were less than 7 million people paying taxes, but during the Kaiyuan period, the total number of civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty was more than 18,000. If all kinds of petty officials are included, the number reached 360,000! 】

[Such a complex bureaucracy requires huge finances to support it, so in addition to collecting land rent, Li Longji also added local taxes and household taxes! 】

[And these taxes are collected uniformly, which undoubtedly adds to the burden on the people! 】

[If taxes are too heavy and people cannot survive, uprisings will often break out! 】

The scene turned, above the sky.

Countless farmers rose up and began to resist!

Lines of subtitles appeared.

[In 653, a peasant uprising began in the Tang Dynasty! 】

[By the time of Li Longji, it was obviously the prosperous Kaiyuan era and the country was obviously more prosperous and powerful, but the number of peasant uprisings was skyrocketing. 】

[In 715, a peasant uprising broke out in Xiangzhou! 】

[In 738, the Hongzhen Uprising broke out in Wuyuan, Shezhou]

[In 744, Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Mingzhou revolted! 】

[And the subsequent Anshi Rebellion directly pierced the last layer of window paper of the Tang Dynasty and broke the prosperity of the prosperous age! 】

[The people were even so miserable that they sold their children and daughters, unable to survive! 】

[Therefore, although the prosperous age of Kaiyuan reached the peak of the ancient dynasty, the people in the prosperous age were not so happy! 】

[But because there was a period of stability in the prosperous Kaiyuan era, there were no powerful countries outside and no natural disasters inside, so it ranked fifth. 】

At the end of the scene, the giant Tang Dynasty collapsed.

Countless people were dressed in rags and began to sell their sons and daughters!

Inside the vermilion gate, the dignitaries drank and had fun, while outside the gate, the skinny peasants froze to death.

They are obviously separated by a door, but they are two completely different worlds.

for a while.

Everyone was silent.

Tang Dynasty.

There was a silence in the huge Jinluan Palace.

Li Shimin stared up at the sky blankly, saying nothing.

Zhu Di was right.

He was indeed happy too early.

The prosperous age of Kaiyuan was indeed the pinnacle of the feudal dynasty and the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty, but for these people!

But not too friendly.Empress Changsun couldn’t help but stepped forward and patted Li Er’s hand gently.

Li Er looked at the gentle-faced Queen Changsun and said bitterly.

“Almost half of the household registrations in the world will be lost!”

“Li Meng is unemployed and his household registration is withered!”

“It’s hard for me to imagine that in such a prosperous age, there would be such a record.”

At this moment, Li Shimin finally understood why the Tang Dynasty, when the per capita output of the Tang Dynasty reached more than 700 kilograms, was only ranked fifth!

There is indeed a reason for this!

Moreover, what attracted his attention even more was the Anshi Rebellion!

What is the Anshi Rebellion?

The Anshi Rebellion pierced the last layer of window paper in the Tang Dynasty, and the giant Tang Dynasty collapsed!

Did it lead to the demise of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Longji’s face also turned white and red.

He wanted to retort loudly, but he couldn’t say a word.

Although he did start to pursue pleasure and handed over the power of government to Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others!

But he was aware of some situations in Datang.

Bloated military and political institutions, numerous exorbitant taxes, and many tax avoidance… refugees!

His face looked complicated for a while.

“His Majesty!”

“His Majesty!”

“What an injustice! I never eliminated dissidents and appointed generals!”

Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong rushed into the hall in a hurry, their expressions changed drastically.

They all knelt on the ground.

Li Longji’s cold eyes glanced at Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, filled with murderous intent.

Of course he cannot be wrong, and they are the only ones who are wrong!

Yang Yuhuan knelt aside, her plump body white as snow.

It would be better for her if Li Linfu died, but Yang Guozhong was her brother!

But when it comes to the sky, she is not stupid and doesn’t dare to protect it carelessly.

In a hurry, Yang Yuhuan hurriedly said when Li Longji was about to lose his temper, “Your Majesty, the sky is sometimes inaccurate!”

“The Immortal has not yet made any comment, I hope your Majesty will calm down!”

Yang Yuhuan’s crisp voice came, and Li Longji’s anger subsided slightly.

He was lost in thought.

Indeed, Gao Yang has not yet made an evaluation, and the ranking and content may not be fair…

But that’s it.

Gao Yang’s laughter came.

“This Li Longji, everything is fine, it’s just that he lived too damn long.”

“If he had died twenty years earlier, he would have even been able to arm-wrestle with Li Shimin. Even if he was the emperor for eternity, that would be a good idea!”

“But think about it, after all, Yang Yuhuan is so handsome, who can bear it? In his wise life, he caused the Anshi Rebellion, a big mess, and suddenly changed from an emperor for the ages to a fool for the ages!”

“What a pity!”

Gao Yang’s voice murmuring to himself resounded.

Li Longji’s face suddenly turned green!

What does it mean that if he had died twenty years earlier, he would even be able to arm-wrestle with Li Shimin?

Can he even compete for the throne of eternity?

What a word!

But from Gao Yang’s words, he keenly learned one thing, that is, there is nothing wrong with what Tianmu said!

Did he cause the Anshi Rebellion?

So from an eternal emperor, he suddenly became an eternal fool?

What is this Anshi Rebellion?

His influence on Datang was so terrifying?

Li Longji’s expression changed drastically.

Wanchao chat channel.

Cao Ahao: “@大 Tang李longji, how smooth is this Yang Yuhuan? Tell me in detail!”

Killing the Ten Tribes: “It’s smoother than you think! (Manual funny)”

Yellow robe added: “(manual funny)”

“I think it’s still Asa Asa’s young girl Run from before. That’s really not a joke!”

Zhang Fei, the enemy of thousands of people: “Second the proposal! (Manual funny)”

Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: “@毛人十 tribe, what exactly is this Anshi Rebellion?”

Li Er looked serious. From Gao Yang’s mouth, he heard about the Anshi Rebellion again!

Obviously, the Anshi Rebellion had a great impact on his Tang Dynasty!

He even turned Li Longji, who could be an emperor for eternity, into an eternity idiot!

Ming dynasty.

Inside Yingtian Mansion.

Zhu Di chuckled.

The Ten People Killing Clan: “I also want to tell you, but I can’t spoil it. If I am punished by the sky, then I will lose more than I gain. In short, the Anshi Rebellion is much more violent than you think. That’s all you can do if you listen.” I want to shoot that Li Longji into the wall!”

Li Er: “…”
