Essay: Major Events in Three Years of Daye

I don’t know if my friends know about the Three Years of Daye. What I want to say is that the Three Years of Daye in history was a very critical year in the Sui Dynasty. Many, many major events happened in this year, which are said to have affected Yang Guang’s later policy strategy, It is not an exaggeration to say that it affected the fate of the Sui Dynasty.

In this year, Yang Guang promulgated the "Daye Law", Changsun Sheng forced the East/Turk to build an imperial road of more than 3,000 miles wide and 100 steps, widened and leveled the eight branches of Taihang, exempted and exempted the state (large state) taxes, repaired and protected the tombs of emperors of all dynasties. …

These are not big problems, but Yang Guang's internal reforms of changing prefectures into counties, clearing up officials and dispersing officials, and only recognizing the top three ranks of the ninth rank have caused great turmoil. This great turmoil was caused by the sudden overflow of private money and the near-collapse of the economic system. Only after Yang Guang beheaded thousands of 'vendors' who made private money and severely punished tens of thousands of their family members did the situation of overflowing private money change.

This was the overall situation that year.

During the Northern Patrol, many major events also occurred. Yang Guang discovered that Yuwenshu and his son were smuggling a large amount of pig iron and weapons, and severely punished the Yuwen brothers. At this time when people were in a state of flux and the world was in an uproar, Gao Jun, He Ruobi, and Yuwen Bi said that Yang Guang was neither this nor that. In a rage, Yang Guang beheaded the three "culprits" who made the situation more chaotic. At the same time, Su Wei, Zhang Heng and other ministers and important ministers were dismissed. .

Follow-up of the Northern Patrol——

Yang Guang was not a tyrant at the time, but he suddenly ordered the construction of the Great Wall, and then asked Yuwenshu and his son to come back... In view of this, I personally think that during the first Northern Patrol, there were many things that happened within the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Patrol team It is a major event in the history books, and the behavior of Yu Wenshu and his son should be just an example. People who engage in illegal activities like theirs have become widespread. They are just taken out as a warning... As for the main motivation for building this Great Wall, there is no It's not about defending against the Eastern Turks who were scared to death of the Sui Dynasty, but about blocking the proliferation of illegal traders.

——The above is a personal conclusion based on the major events of Daye in the past three years. Please forgive me for inappropriateness.
