Chapter 204 The Canal and the Nature of the Southern Patrol

Chapter 204 The Canal and the Nature of the Southern Patrol
{Trivia: In 2014, the China Grand Canal project was successfully selected as a World Cultural Heritage project. It is known as the earliest built, longest used, and largest canal in the world, and has become a precious heritage left by the Chinese nation to the world. ｝
{The excavation of the Grand Canal also promoted the prosperity of cities along the river, including Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Luoyang, etc. These cities were prosperous because of the canal, which not only strengthened exchanges between the north and the south, but also made Chinese culture diversified and complementary! ｝
{Although Yang Guang had a tradition of building canals before, all canals were partial and fragmented. It is like a waterway network covering the whole country and benefiting for thousands of years. ｝
{No one has ever thought about opening a canal, and no one has ever done it. However, he thought about it and did it! ｝

{so what? No one objects to his merits? Why are you scolding him? You don't know why? ｝
{If someone can't imagine how much people's labor is consumed by digging a canal, they can renovate the old canals in the countryside, or try to dig a trench. ｝
{Use a shovel to dig the soil and work from morning to night. The eating conditions are also based on ancient standards, the sleeping conditions are also based on ancient standards, and there is no wages. ｝
{Work from morning to night on the first day, and then continue on the second day. ｝
{If you can't do it anymore in the middle, you'll be whipped with a whip... You'll do it non-stop for a month. ｝
{It’s funny, those people who washed the ground for Emperor Sui Yang probably didn’t even know how to hold a shovel. They were extremely lucky to survive until the end of the project. ｝
{Everyone who has studied civil engineering knows that it takes two or three years to build a house now, and about a year to build a house in rural areas. I really can’t imagine the concept of building a canal that is 60 meters wide and 700 kilometers long in five months. ｝

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

In the Nangong Palace,
A family of three gathered together to look at the sky.

"He is really a one-man thief like the Second Emperor of Qin!"

Liu Zhuang, who was sitting upright, could not take his eyes away. When he saw the words of his descendants, he also thought of the hard work he had experienced when he was young.

He was extremely disgusted with Emperor Sui Yang.

Liu Xiu looked at Liu Zhuang and organized his words.

"It cannot be said that those who are willing to prosper a great cause are tyrants and thieves."

When Liu Zhuang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and was about to refute.

Liu Xiu raised his hand and stopped.

"Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."

"In fact, the use of people's power is a basic requirement for governing the country and developing the country."

"The key is to ensure that civilians can get the necessary rest after use."

"Now it depends on whether he can properly appease the people."

Liu Zhuang looked at Liu Xiu strangely.

"Father, have you forgotten something?"

Liu Xiu:?
"His posthumous name is Yang."

Liu Xiu:......

"and……"

Liu Zhuang pointed at the sky and said angrily:
"Look at this dog slave who seems to want to appease the people!"

……

On the canopy,
The twenty-foot-wide winding river resembles a giant python swimming across the land.

The sparkling water reflects the golden sunset.

On both sides of the river was a cloud of light green smoke.

The soft willow branches sway gently.

Narrow and green, the willow leaves like fine emeralds reflect the setting sun.

Flashing with little golden light.

"Hey! Yo!"

Suddenly, a heavy shouting sounded.

Low-hanging figures appeared on both sides of the river connected to the sky.

Rough hands pulled the rope on his shoulders.

The reddish soil clings to the bare feet.

The naked upper body was bent almost parallel to the ground.

He chanted in a low voice.

On both sides of the civilian husband, groups of heavily armed soldiers riding war horses escorted them, with flags spread across the fields on both sides.

Wait for the trackers to walk a mile away.

The huge thing pulled by the rope can finally be revealed.

It is more than four feet high, more than five feet wide, and two hundred feet long.

The bow is decorated with a dragon head and the hull is decorated with red powder.

There are four levels of pavilions on the ship, all surrounded by pavilions.

……

[On August 605, AD, Yang Guang took a dragon boat to Jiangdu. 】

[The dragon boat has four floors, forty-five feet high and two hundred feet long. 】

[The upper floor has the main hall, the inner hall, and the east and west chapels. 】

[There are a total of 120 rooms on the two floors in the middle, all decorated with gold and jade. The lower floor is where the chamberlain lives. 】

[The queen rides on a Xiang Chi boat, which is slightly smaller in scale and well decorated. 】

[There are also nine floating shadow boats with three floors. 】

[There are also thousands of ships for the harem, kings, princesses, officials, monks, nuns, Taoist priests, Tibetan guests, etc. 】

[A total of 80,000 boatmen were employed. 】

[There are also thousands of ships carrying twelve guardsmen and weapons tents. 】

[The soldiers themselves take turns pulling the soldiers, not the husbands. 】

[The front and rear boats are connected to each other, and are more than two hundred miles long. 】

[All prefectures and counties that were passed through, and places within five hundred miles were ordered to contribute food. When the harem was full and about to set off, the uneaten food was discarded and buried. 】

[At the same time, an edict was issued to exempt the people of the world from taxes for one year and the people of Yangzhou from taxes for five years. 】

……

Da Qin,

Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng looked up at the sky.

My heart goes back and forth.

Hu Hai is indeed worse than him.

What is bad is not a wasteful method.

What is bad is the human heart.

Hu Hai is vicious, stupid and has no ambition.

And this Yang Guang...

Even if we know that the people are suffering, we should do this.

The reason for building Luoyang City was announced to the world, saying that it was for the country and the people.

But the magnificence of Xiyuan is unheard of and unseen. The same goes for opening canals and building dragon boats this time.

He knew full well that civilian service was miserable.

Otherwise, it will not be exempt from surrounding taxes.

But even if he knew, he would still do it.

why?
Ying Zheng touched the bamboo slips on the desk.

The reason is simple.

Just like Sima Rui showing off the power of the Jin Dynasty by the river.

Yang Guang also wanted to show Jiangnan the financial resources, military strength and technology of the Sui Dynasty.

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che knocked on the table, frowning and thinking.

At first, I just thought this man was a fool who enjoyed luxury.

But these two edicts instantly changed his mind.

It was obvious that he knew the consequences of what he did.

So why is he still doing this?
"Da da da."

His fingers couldn't help but tap on the desk.

My mind began to recall the information that had appeared in the sky.

Gradually, a thread clearly emerged

First of all, in the last years of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the entire south was in rebellion, and Yang Guang pacified Jiangnan for ten years.

Once a rebellion broke out in the south, the Sui Dynasty would need to respond.

But Daxing City is far in the northwest, with far mountains and long roads, and information is not smooth.

Even if the information is passed, how to mobilize troops and financial resources from the north to the south will be a troublesome matter.

So what to do?
Open the waterway!

The monarchs of the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms all demonstrated that once they crossed the Yangtze River, taking the south of the Yangtze River was about searching for things.

However, the land of China is high in the west and low in the east, and there are few north-south waterways. It is quite inconvenient to transport soldiers from the north to the south by water.

The geographical location of Luoyang came to Liu Che's mind.

From Luoshui to Huaishui, there are countless built channels and natural lakes.

As long as these channels are opened, an unprecedented waterway from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River will appear.

Connecting the north and the south can solve the problem of troop transportation in a state of war.

From the perspective of unifying the world.

Settling the capital, opening rivers, and traveling around.

These three are the same thing.

It is to maintain stability in Jiangnan and maintain unity.

In fact, the reason for Qin Shihuang's Chidao was the same.

The same goes for cruising.

but……

Liu Che, who had already "enlightened everything", sighed.

The chaos in the Northern and Southern Dynasties continued, and the people did not resist reunification and even longed for peace because of years of war.

But this is no reason to display one's ambitions wantonly.

On the contrary, this is the time to deeply cultivate the hearts and minds of the people.

Those powerful families are not the most important.

……

Sui Dynasty
Yang Jian looked at the sky and smiled helplessly.

He was not a fool, and he understood what this kid wanted to do without thinking about people's livelihood.

but……

"Jia Luo, maybe we should take another look at Yong'er."

Dugu Jialuo nodded with a cold face.

Yang Jian felt a little uncomfortable.

Although the suspicion, suspicion and dissatisfaction towards Yang Yong have already appeared.

But whether it should be said or not, this eldest son is still kind.

Yang Jian recalled what his eldest son said when he wanted to use troops against Shandong.

"It is necessary to introduce customs gradually, and it must be changed immediately. The nostalgia for the country and the original feelings of the people are constantly drifting and drifting, and they cannot be recovered..."

"Although the blade is sharp, the scars have not healed. If you give it a few years, bathe in the royal wind, and the fleeing people will naturally return to their roots... why bother to move to another wife and cause trouble."

Ugh……

If you are lustful, be lustful. If you are stubborn, be stubborn. If you love luxury...

I glanced at the magnificent and endless dragon boats in the sky.

Just... be more luxurious...

After all, he is a keeper of integrity.

Be like this kid...

His hands involuntarily covered his chest.

My Sui Dynasty will follow in the footsteps of the second generation of the Qin Dynasty and its demise!

……

　I have a hunch.

　　After Qin Chui and Shu Chui, we have to add Guang Chui.

　　Ok……
