In the eighth year of Tianbao, the official warehouse stored 96 million stones of grain. At that time, Luoyang and Chang 'an had the lowest rice price, only 13 words and one bucket, while Qingzhou and qi zhou only had five words and one bucket. In the late Tang Dynasty, due to the migration of population to the south, land reclamation and water conservancy overhaul, the grain output in the south increased greatly. At its peak, the territory of the Tang Dynasty reached the Korean Peninsula in the east, the Aral Sea in Central Asia in the west, Hue in Vietnam in the south and Lake Baikal in the north, with a total area of 1, 25 1, 000 square kilometers.

Extended data:
"The Theory of Transformation in Tang and Song Dynasties" advocates that great changes have taken place in society during the Tang and Song Dynasties. As far as the change of class relations is concerned, the opinions of various schools are different, which can be roughly summarized into the following three categories:
First, in the Tang Dynasty, the gentry and landlords still occupied the dominant position and implemented the system of partial tenant farmers' production. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, it evolved into a system of co-governance by officials and households and communism by tenants.
Second, the Tang Dynasty was a medieval feudal society. Tenants are bound to the land and are typical serfs. In the Song Dynasty, they began to "modernize", and there was an equal economic relationship between tenant farmers and landlords.
Third, the Han and Tang dynasties were slave production systems, and the medieval manor serfdom was established in the Song Dynasty.
