What was the Sui Dynasty like during the reign of Emperor Wen?

The sui dynasty in history is a unique dynasty, which rises like a meteor and falls like a comet, leaving only a nostalgic figure for future generations?

As we all know, the Sui Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty, which disappeared in the long river of history only 37 years from its establishment to its demise. However, even if the Sui Dynasty died young, there are still many things worthy of praise. For example, the Sui Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wendi was once in full swing, even stronger than the Turks. Not much to say, let's adjust our thinking and enter the flourishing age of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty together.

It is fair to say that the Sui Wendi era was a golden age with extremely strong comprehensive national strength. No matter from the political, economic, cultural, military or scientific and technological perspectives, other countries can only match it.

First of all, from a political point of view, the Sui Wendi era was politically clear and even almost eliminated corruption.

Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was diligent in government affairs and worked tirelessly from morning till night. He observes people's feelings and often goes deep into people's lives to inquire about social conditions or secretly sends people to inquire about the gains and losses of local bureaucrats. Fourteen years later, there was a drought and famine in Guanzhong. Wendi ordered people to know about their diet. When he saw that all the things he brought back were bean dregs and miscellaneous bran, he cried bitterly. Deeply guilty of this, he immediately decided to lead the hungry people in Guanzhong to Luoyang for dinner, and cancelled the setting of wine and meat in the imperial meal.

The following year, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty made a pilgrimage to Mount Tai in the east. When he met a hungry man on the road, he ordered the guards and his entourage not to chase him and allowed them to walk with the guards. If you meet someone who helps the old and takes care of the young, Wendi will lead the horse to avoid it and make way for them personally. If you meet a person who is carrying a heavy load on a difficult road, he will also ask his entourage to help him. As soon as Wendi arrived in qi zhou, he immediately asked the local people about the current social situation. From this, we can see the essence of Emperor Wendi's people-oriented and caring for the people.

At the same time, the management of officials in that period was also very clear, which was closely related to Emperor Wendi's practice of rewarding good deeds and punishing corruption. There is a secretariat named Liang Yanguang in qi zhou. He practiced Zheng Hui for many years and kept the first place in his class all the year round. In the second year of Emperor Kai, Wendi visited qi zhou. When he heard about his talent, he immediately called for praise. Liu Kuang, the magistrate of Linying County, couldn't even determine where he came from in the history books. However, because of his reputation of being clean and good at government, Emperor Wendi summoned him to give him support and encouragement, and said to the courtiers: If this is not rewarded, what can I do to encourage the world? Later, Liu Kuang was promoted to Juzhou Secretariat.

Let's take a look at Emperor Wendi's handling of corrupt officials. On one occasion, Emperor Wen ordered the courtiers around him to send tributes to the western regions to use Yumenguan. Wherever the man goes, local officials will send parrots, skins and whips to some extent. Emperor Wen flew into a rage after hearing this, and personally ruled the matter, beheading dozens of people in a row; In order to test the integrity of local officials, Emperor Wendi even secretly sent people to give them gifts. If a local official can't resist the temptation of accepting bribes, Wendi will immediately execute him and will not tolerate him.

Second, from the economic point of view, the economy of the Sui Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wen was very rich, far exceeding that of many dynasties in history.

During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, a series of reform measures were taken to reduce the national fiscal expenditure, increase the national fiscal revenue and enrich the national treasury. At the beginning of Emperor Wendi's reign, the national population was 4 million, but by the time Yang Di ascended the throne, the population had reached 8.9 million. According to the actual figures, there are no less than 50 million people in the country. When Emperor Taizong died and Tang Gaozong succeeded to the throne, the total registered population in China was only 3.8 million. It was not until Emperor Xuanzong succeeded to the throne that the total registered population in China reached 7.6 million, about 4 1 10,000.
