Da Qin: The First Emperor was reborn and made me the crown prince at the beginning

Chapter 347

Speaking of the Grand Canal, we have to talk about a very famous historical figure.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

In a sense, there are striking similarities between the Qin and Sui dynasties.

All were short-lived dynasties that died II.

But there are all for the next prosperous era of China to lay a firm foundation!

Without the Qin Dynasty's construction of the Great Wall, the construction of Chi Dao, the unification of currency and writing, and weights and measures, there would be no prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

There is a saying in history, called the Han Sui Qin system!

In other words, the entire governance structure of the Han Dynasty was basically copied from the Qin Dynasty.

For example, the system of three public and nine secretaries.

For example, the county system.

Another example is the concept of unification.

In addition, because of the lessons of the Qin Dynasty, from the Han Dynasty to the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, successive emperors attached great importance to the people and the fight against the powerful.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the tax rate of the common people was thirty taxes and one.

Of course, in addition to the field tax, the Han Dynasty also had other miscellaneous taxes.

Added up, it is almost the same as the tax revenue of Daqin after the transformation of Yingchen.

But this kind of ancient time has been regarded as light and thinly endowed to the extreme.

Some people say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not pay attention to the common people.

It was the late reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he himself was already out of mind.

In fact, in the early and middle period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the people lived quite well.

Those who are not doing well are actually those powerful landlords.

Since Liu Bang, there have been various measures to crack down on the landlords, and by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was even more powerful.

People only know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reduced the power of the princes and kings through the Tui En Order.

But he didn't know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also dealt a severe blow to these landlords by killing all kinds of heroes who were doing evil, and even forcing these heroes to migrate to Maoling.

It was also through these means that after greatly attacking the power of the princes and powerful landlords, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to repeatedly send troops to the Xiongnu.

Under the annual war, the finances of the Han Empire have not collapsed.

There are no middlemen to make the difference?

However, in the later period of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself began to become mediocre and arbitrary, and suffered miserably because of repeated foreign wars.

and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to seek immortals to visit the Tao, and many traitors and villains began to gather around him, which naturally led to turmoil in the government and unrest in the world.

In this case, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has always offended a lot of landlords and heroes, there will be all kinds of criticism of him in the history books.

And when it comes to the Sui Dynasty, we have to talk about Yang Guang.

In fact, Yang Guang is quite similar to Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

And in the early stage of governance, it did a good job.

Didn't Li Shimin have the title of "Heavenly Khan"?

In fact, Yang Guang also has the title of "Saint Khan"!

Moreover, Yang Guang once personally went on an expedition, and then included Qinghai in our territory in one fell swoop.

From this point of view, Yang Guang is actually not bad.

However, he successively built the eastern capital Luoyang, built the Grand Canal, and conquered Goguryeo three times, which directly hurt the vitality of the entire Sui Dynasty.

In addition, he directly violated the interests of the nobles of the family, and in the end he could only die and destroy the country under internal and external difficulties.

In fact, in many things, Emperor Yang of Sui was splashed a lot of dirty water by later generations.

Throughout the ages, the emperors of the Central Plains arrived so far away in the northwest, and only Yang Guang was alone!

said that Yang Guang was extravagant and greedy for beauty, but it could not hide the fact that Emperor Yang of Sui did not have too many heirs. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Sometimes history is so weird!

Shang Xuan and Emperor Yang of Sui, the two most famous tyrants in ancient times, are so strikingly similar!

The king of Shang had only three sons in his life, and was known as extravagant.

Xibohou Jichang had a hundred sons in his life, but he was called a sage.

Emperor Yang of Sui had four sons, who were also known as extravagant.

Take a closer look, Tang Taizong Li Shimin has several sons, Tang Xuanzong has several sons, and Kangxi and Qianlong, who are known as the Holy Monarchs, have many sons.

If you compare Emperor Yang of Sui again, don't you find that Emperor Yang of Sui's children are the same as his father, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, just a few!

In the final analysis, if Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was extravagant, then how can Li Shimin have more than 30 children in history.

Like the Qin Dynasty, the canal vigorously built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty laid the foundation for the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty.

If Jiangnan in the Tang Dynasty was not developed during the Anshi Rebellion, there was no tax support from Jiangnan in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

I'm afraid that the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed a hundred years earlier.

It can only be said that the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty can be called the two biggest grievances!

Because these two dynasties should have been more brilliant and great.

As a result, he had to make a wedding dress for the dynasty of later generations.

It can only be said that the most arduous and easiest things to offend people were done by these two dynasties first.

After it was their turn to rule the world in the later dynasties, many difficult things had been solved.

It can only be said that it is providential!

Here, Xiao He and Cao Shen began to say to Yingchen: "This is the digging of the Grand Canal, and the whole field is 4,800 miles, this is not a small project. "

"If it is not planned, will it lead to difficulties in the court's money and food, and will it cause the people in the world to be miserable and uneasy?"

Hearing this, Yingchen smiled.

"Xiao Xiang and Cao Qing, think about it carefully, why did I send Han Xin to Jiangnan, and let him solve the Shanyue problem as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao He and Cao Shen immediately understood.

At this moment, these two heroes admired Yingchen very much.

Yingchen's plan is really powerful, one ring after another, endlessly!

The people of Shanyue in the southern region of this river (Mowang Zhao) are at least more than one million.

These people will be beaten by Han Xin for a few times, and at most it will take less than two years, and maybe most of them will become prisoners of Great Qin.

With these millions of laborers, and then let them go and open the Grand Canal, it's not too simple.

In this way, in a few years at most, the Grand Canal will be able to communicate.

And the problem of labor is solved, and now it is a problem of money and food.

After hearing this question, Yingchen said with a smile: "That's even simpler!" "

"I've never liked the all-in-one model."

"In the beginning, it was just necessary to dredge and widen the ancient canal in the Jiangnan area."

"If there is enough money and food at that time, the canal from Jiangdu to Luoyang will be dug in the canal."

"In this way, the two regions of the Central Plains and Jiangnan can be communicated and connected."
