How much grain did the Sui Dynasty in China accumulate?

The money and grain of the Sui Dynasty were so much that they were tax-free for nearly 10 years after Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to power, and there was still surplus grain in the Zhenguan period.

It was enough for Yang Guang to use it indiscriminately without taxes for 200 years, and it was all used up by Li Shimin.

It is said that the grain was eaten until the end of the sadakan.

Most of the granaries of the Sui Dynasty were in what is now Henan Province.

The Sui Dynasty had six granaries, namely: Hanjiacang, Huiluocang, Liyang Cang, Yongfeng Cang, Heyang Cang, and Changping Cang. All of them are built underground, the temperature is cool, and it is convenient to keep the grain fresh.

1. Including Jiacang.

Hanjia ** in the north of the old city of Luoyang City, Henan Province, built in the early years of the Great Cause (that is, in 605), the main purpose of the construction is to store the grain of the eastern state and county of the capital, as a strategic reserve.

It is 600 meters wide from east to west, 710 meters long from north to south, and the total area reaches 430,000 square meters.

2. Return to Luocang.

Huiluo** in Xiaoli Village, Luoyang City, Henan Province, built when Yang Guanggang ascended the throne, about 605 AD, and Hanjiacang should be the same batch of buildings. It is 1,000 meters long from east to west and 355 meters wide from north to south, which can store 100 million catties of grain!

3. Liyang Cang.

Liyang Cang was built in the third year of Kaihuang (that is, 583 years), located in Liyang County, Weizhou (now Jun County, Henan), has always been an important position, there is a saying that "Liyang harvests, solidifies Kyushu".

4. Yongfeng Warehouse.

Yongfeng Cang was originally built in the Sui Dynasty in the third year of the emperor (that is, 583 years), because it was built in the north of Huayin County, Weishui South Bank Guangtong Canal mouth (now in Dali County, Shaanxi), so the original name was Guangtong Cang, Yang Guang changed its name after ascending the throne.

5. Heyang Warehouse.

According to the records of the Book of Sui and the Chronicles of Food and Goods, the Heyang Warehouse was built in the third year of the Kaihuang Dynasty (i.e., 583), and the address is about the north of Yanshi City, Henan Province, and it is one of the four major granaries along the Yellow River.

6. Position is often closed.

In the third year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty (that is, in 583), Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian ordered people to settle the position in Shaanzhou, which is now Shaanzhou District, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, and it is not known where it is.

1. Hanjiacang, the national granary of the Sui Dynasty, located in the north of the old city of Luoyang City, Henan Province, was founded in 605 (the first year of the Sui Dynasty), the main role is to hold the royal granary of rice paid by the county east of Kyoto, after the Sui, Tang and Northern Song dynasties, it was used for more than 500 years, and was later abandoned.

2. Luokou granary, also called Xingluocang, is located on the loess ridge east of Qilipu Village, Luozhen Town, Gongyi River, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. It is located in a hilly area, the situation is dangerous, the soil is hard and dry, and it is convenient for water transportation. From the Luohe River upstream, it can reach Luoyang, the capital of the east at that time, go up the Yellow River to Tongguan in Shaanxi and Chang'an in Xijing at that time, go down the river to Shandong to Haikou, and communicate with the Grand Canal at the same time, and can also reach Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Hebei and other provinces in the north.

3. Yongfeng Cang, Sui Kaihuang three years (AD 583) placed Guangtong Cang in the south bank of Weishui in the northeast of Huayin County, Guangtong Canal Mouth, the beginning of the great cause changed its name. It was an important granary near the Jingshi at that time, and Yang Xuangan and Li Yuan raised troops at the end of the Sui Dynasty and captured this warehouse. In later generations, Weishui moved south, and the warehouse site was separated in Weibei, and now it is in Dali County, Shaanxi.

It's true, it's about 3 million tons, and the grain that was left behind at that time was eaten for 20 years after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and it can be seen that the yield of crops in the Ming Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty was relatively high, and the economy was rich at that time, and then the imperial court hoarded a lot of grain in various places.

Leaving nearly 3.5 million tons of grain, the Tang Dynasty really ate it for 20 years, because the crop yield at that time was particularly high, coupled with the increase in productivity, so it produced enough grain for several trillion years, even after the death of the country, the grain was enough for the Tang Dynasty for 20 years.

No one knows how much grain was left behind after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, only that a lot was left, and the Tang Dynasty did not eat the mold for 20 years, and Yinliang could not be stored for so long because the grain also had a deadline.

There were three granaries in the Sui Dynasty, the names of which were as follows:

1. Hanjiacang, the national granary of the Sui Dynasty, located in the north of the old city of Luoyang City, Henan Province, was built in 605, and its main role is to hold the royal granary of rice rented by the prefecture and county east of Kyoto.
