For example, how much grain and grass was harvested in Henan Province this year, and how much grain and grass was harvested in Hebei Province.

If Hebei Province has a large harvest, then Hebei Province will provide 30% of the grain as military rations, and Henan Province will produce 20% or 10% of the grain as military rations.

These military rations are then uniformly deployed.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty collected food from wherever he went.

It is recorded in ancient books,

When Tuyuhun was conquered, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked the northwest counties to send people to transport grain and grass outside the Great Wall.

Let’s not count the amount of grain and grass collection. Just talking about the distance, it is not an ordinary distance.

On the way, there were countless grain transport teams who did not arrive on time because they encountered bandits, looting or the death of people and animals.

And how did Emperor Sui Yang treat them?

With a wave of his hand, he directly ordered the counties to confiscate all these people's homes and exterminate their clans.

This also directly led to the Sui Dynasty becoming poor in the northwest before the war was over.

This is what Li Chengqian thought in his heart, and he also told Li Shimin the same thing.

When talking about this point, Li Chengqian also faced Li Shimin and said: "It would be strange if an emperor like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty could do it in the long run, so my father should not use Emperor Yang as an example. The situation in the Sui Dynasty is different from that of the Great Sui Dynasty.
