History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
When it comes to the most powerful dynasty in history, many people generally think of the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty had the greatest international influence. But in fact, the Tang Dynasty was inferior to the Sui Dynasty in many aspects, such as the number of people and fiscal revenue. If we want to talk about the absolute economic aggregate, it is of course the Qing Dynasty, after all, it is the accumulation of historical development. Luo Guanzhong once said that "the world will be united for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time", which is absolutely the truth, and the change of history over thousands of years shows this. The most unjustly destroyed dynasty in ancient times: Originally the most powerful dynasty in the world, it perished because it was too powerful.
Sui Dynasty: A great unified dynasty in Chinese history, the Northern Zhou Jing Emperor Chan gave way to Yang Jian, and northern Zhou fell. Yang firmly established the state name "Sui", and then went south to destroy the Chen Dynasty and unify China, ending a nearly 300-year division since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. The two generations of emperors of the Sui Dynasty did not have a faint king, after the founding of the Country, Sui Wen Emperor made great efforts to govern, first destroyed the Southern Dynasty Chen regime, and then encouraged Nongsang to recuperate, and his usual life was also very frugal, it is said that the clothes were torn and the empress sewed a seam and then wore.
According to the scale mentioned above, although the territory of the Sui Dynasty is no better than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the territorial area is still higher than that of the Chinese dynasty. In addition, the economy and military strength of the Sui Dynasty were very exciting. First of all, in terms of economy, the richness of the Sui Dynasty was staggering. Especially grain, many years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there are many grains hoarded during the Sui Dynasty in the national grain storehouse, and its grain output can be seen. No matter which period of the Tang Dynasty, in terms of social prosperity, it did not reach the level of the last year of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Great Cause.
Speaking of the fertility of the Sui Dynasty, at the beginning of the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, the national population was only 4 million households, and by the time the Sui Emperor ascended the throne, the national population had surged to 8.9 million households and 50 million people, more than doubling, and this took only 23 years. Millions of soldiers conquered Goguryeo, filling in with human lives, and filling the whole of Goguryeo. In fact, the Sui Dynasty Emperor's three expeditions to Goguryeo were only bait, the purpose of which was to weaken the strength of the family clan, especially the Guanzhong family. As a result, millions of troops were wiped out. Although the strength of the family clan was greatly damaged, the Sui Dynasty was also seriously injured.
