Chapter 1223 Disappointing Yang Jian

It's not that Yang Jian didn't do well, in fact, the new Sui Dynasty did a very good job. Yang Jian managed the entire world in an orderly manner, with smooth government affairs, loyal families, defeated all the grassland peoples, and achieved unprecedented martial arts. At this time The new Sui Dynasty has surpassed its peak in history and become a great dynasty comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But the problem is that Yang Jian did not resolutely cut off the cancer of the aristocratic family. As a result, although the aristocratic families were obedient, they resorted to various means to kill their own fundamental interests. Although Yang Jian issued development orders more than ten times, the same Immigrants were asked to immigrate to areas outside the grasslands, but only about 100,000 people were recruited, and all of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled. Yang Jian was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

But the most important thing is that Yang Jian cannot engage in scientific research like Liu Ying, and he does not have such useful tools as the Mohist family at hand. The level of scientific research has never been improved. Under the influence of the aristocratic family, Ming Dynasty also lacks the subjective initiative for scientific research. The whole world is like It was like a puddle of stagnant water. No matter how hard Yang Jian stirred it, he couldn't really move.

In addition, Yang Jian himself has certain flaws in his character. Although he can decisively seize the throne of his grandson, he has been unable to decisively attack major aristocratic families. Even though 30 years have passed, only half of the grassland has been developed. Some new cities were built on the grasslands to engage in grazing and other activities, but basically nothing else was done. The entire European region was still basically empty.

On the contrary, some Huns and Xianbei people who were driven to Europe gradually began to thrive in these uninhabited lands.

Liu Xu knew about these situations before, but he was giving Yang Jian a chance to change things, but now he sees the same thing, especially the Huns and Xianbei people move faster than the Chinese people, Liu Xu's face It's just ugly.

"The ancients often said that God's will is clear. Those who obey it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. I always thought this was just a political term. Now it seems that I want to do this clear will of God!" Liu Xu looked at the palace below. Yang Jian, who was drinking and having fun with four or five concubines, said with a cold expression.

For Yang Jian, Liu Xu was completely disappointed at this time.

Although Yang Jian performed very well at the beginning and successfully usurped the Sima family's world, which made Liu Xu spit out his anger, and now the Sui Dynasty has entered what is often said to be a prosperous age in ancient China, it stands to reason that Yang Jian has already Very perfect.

But Yang Jian is still Yang Jian after all. Although he is now a mirror character and knows the existence of Liu Xu, his nature will not change. After the dynasty in his hands reaches its peak, just like in history, he begins to indulge in his later years. stand up.

Liu Xu even felt that it would not take long for these original Han people to become new nomads again, and after hundreds of years, they would start plundering China again.

Moreover, his long career as an emperor seemed to have made him lose his fear of Liu Xu. Liu Xu actually showed up to interview him several times, asking him to do his best to promote population migration. Yang Jian agreed every time. After finishing the conversation, Yang Jian indeed mobilized the power of the whole country and mobilized a group of manpower and material resources to cultivate and migrate to the West.

But often within a year or two, with various obstacles from the family and various difficulties and dangers encountered throughout the process, Yang Jian naturally gave up, and the whole thing became silent, leaving only a group of bitter people. The forced people had no choice but to fend for themselves on the relocated grasslands and began a career of herding.

After all, the ancestors of the Xiongnu Neng actually came from this way. According to historical records, they were all remnants of the exiled Xia and Shang dynasties, and later developed into a grassland nation on the grasslands.

At this time, Yangjian is actually a bit like a child who is studying. After being scolded by Liu Xu, his father, he may really study hard for a few days, but as time goes by, his nature is exposed and his self-control is insufficient, and he will eventually Changing back to his original appearance will always only last three minutes.

This should be a true portrayal of many people.

So this time Liu Xu didn't plan to show up to educate him again. Instead, he directly transformed into a human and walked to a mansion. This mansion seems to be very ordinary from the outside, but it is very large. In Luoyang City, where every inch of land is at a premium, the status of someone who can own a mansion of this size is by no means ordinary.

But the strange thing is that there are hundreds of soldiers guarding the entrances and exits of the mansion. If you enter the mansion and check, you will find that there are a large number of guards walking almost everywhere. The number of these soldiers is even that of the mansion. There are several times the number of servants inside, and even extremely private places like the backyard have guards constantly coming out. The entrance to the master's bedroom is even the place with the largest number of guards.

Let's put it this way, it's more of a prison than a mansion.

So who are the people living in this prison?

You may not believe it, but the person living here is actually the grandson of the current emperor, and he is also the eldest grandson of the prince, the eldest son of the prince, named Yang Guang.

Just by hearing this name, you can tell how much Yang Jian dislikes this eldest grandson, but there is no way. The grandson's name was given by the prince. When Yang Jian found out, this unlucky grandson was already named Yang Guang.

Yang Jian thought it was just a coincidence at first, but he wasn't too harsh on his grandson, he just didn't like it.

But when this eldest grandson gradually grew up, Yang Jian realized that something was wrong.

First of all, this grandson looks exactly like Yang Guang in another world. They are completely carved from the same mold. Not only are their looks similar, but their tone of voice, attitude, and some personal habits are also exactly the same as Yang Guang's.

These changes made Yang Jian more and more jealous of his eldest grandson, so much so that this fear was directly expressed in the open, so that many ministers were keenly aware of Yang Jian's disgust for this eldest grandson, which in turn triggered A lot of turmoil.

Later, as Yang Guang grew older, this disgust became more and more obvious, and finally broke out on Yang Jian's 60th birthday. Throughout the ages, emperors who lived to be 60 years old were very rare. Although Yang Jian knew that his status was different, he was still very happy and organized special events. Naturally, his princes and grandchildren also tried their best to send birthday gifts.

Most of the birthday gifts given by others were rare treasures, but when Yang Guang, the eldest grandson of the emperor, came up to give gifts, he sent a picture, a map of the Sui Dynasty, and a map of the Sui Dynasty. Different from the current Sui map, this treasure map has an entire super canal that runs through the entire north and south.

At the birthday banquet, Yang Guang excitedly told his grandfather that he had spent three years considering various geographical data and visited the field more than a dozen times to finally confirm it.

It only takes hundreds of thousands of people and about 10 years to connect more than a dozen water systems in the north and south of the Yangtze River with artificial canals to form a super canal that runs through the entire north and south.

Supplies from the south can be easily sent to the north through water transportation. At the same time, the north no longer has to worry about the lack of various supplies. The economy of the entire Sui Dynasty can also further develop, and its achievements will last for a long time. It is the best birthday gift for the emperor. .
