174. The construction of the canal, the people arranged it this way. (Ask for a commuter pass!)

There was a flurry of chickens and dogs in the Daming Palace, and Zhu Di had no time to take care of the chat group for the time being.

In the group, Wu Zetian frowned.

Heart of the Illusory Sea:

"A good thing is a good thing, but Emperor Yang of Sui used too many people. ”

"But isn't this a waste of money?"

.......

Chen Tong raised his forehead, you are really worried about the ancients, his fingers are typing quickly on the mechanical keyboard.

This question is also often asked by people, and Chen Tong answered it easily.

Chen Tong:

"Servitude was a necessity in feudal dynasties, and it was the same in all dynasties, it was part of the taxation component. ”

"You said that Emperor Yang of Sui sent the people who originally built the road and let them dig the river, okay?"

"What's the difference to the people?"

"Labor is calculated according to time, and if you have done enough time, you will be liberated, so how can you say that you will work for the people?"

"When I was talking about hurting money, eating and drinking during the period of hard labor, it was the food provided by the state, and it didn't cost the people's money, and the money that hurt the money was also the money that hurt Emperor Yang of Sui. ”

"People are not bad for money, they are willing to talk about it, and use money to smash the progress, it's just so arrogant, can't it?"

"Don't you know that the two generations of emperors of the Great Sui are both infrastructure madmen, and they all pay attention to the strength of the number of people. ”

...........

This.......

When the emperors thought about it, it was really the case.

The more people who work, the less work each person needs to do, and the lower the labor intensity.

is talking about the money spent, and it is also Emperor Yang of Sui's own treasury, and people are willing, so you can't force people to save money.

Kryptonite can't be provoked.

Friends of Married Woman:

From this point of view, it seems to be quite reasonable. ”

"It is worthy of being a member of our old Cao family, but it is not the usual path. ”

Everyone was speechless for a while by Cao Cao's words.

However, every emperor's heart is unusually comfortable, and it feels like eating a big melon. The angle provided by Chen Tong is very novel.

Each time it turns their perception upside down.

Even Emperor Wu of Han, who was marching at the moment, had to sigh.

Although it is far away, it will be punished (Eternal Sage):

"The first time I've heard of such a novel theory. ”

"But, I can't refute it, and I think it makes so much sense. ”

"Learned!"

"A good one, there is great strength in numbers. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought to himself, if I have money, I will also come to a super infrastructure project to see how terrifying it is to have more people and more power!

How fast can it be?

..................

At this moment, the Tang Palace.

Li Shimin's face was extremely gloomy, he never thought that all along, the Grand Canal, which had been criticized by the population, had recruited 2 million migrant workers every month, and through Chen Tong's mouth, he had changed from working the people and hurting money to being sympathetic to the people.

Where do you go to reason with this?

The most important thing is that there seems to be a little bit of truth in it..... Oh no, it's a crookedness!

His appearance made the eldest grandson queen next to him extremely distressed, and he thought, is Li Shimin's harem too deserted? Your Majesty has just been ranked, and it is time to choose some show girls.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't know the queen's plans, otherwise he would definitely be stunned, women, can they be so virtuous?

He wandered around the dormitory for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Eternal Li II:

"The construction period of the Grand Canal is very long, and 2 million people are recruited a month, although the intensity of labor has become smaller. ”

"However, have you ever considered that these people must die of exhaustion after working for a long time!"

"They've been repairing rivers for years. ”

..................

Now the emperors are all sitting and watching Li Shimin and Chen Tong on the bar.

They act as referees, they are neutral and think about anyone who asks questions.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in the midst of a boring march, just joining in the fun.

Although it is far away, it will be punished (Eternal Sage)

"That's right, although the labor intensity is reduced, but it can't stand the long hours of labor!"

"Under the accumulation of hard work, there will still be a large number of deaths. ”

..................

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows, thinking it was very interesting.

Heart of the Illusory Sea:

"Not bad!"

"How do you explain that?"

..................

Zhu Di is tired at the moment, Zhu Gaoxu, this kid is too resistant to beating, although he was beaten and screamed, but as soon as he let go, he was able to jump around.

Unlike his eldest son, being fat is simply worrying.

He also set his sights on the chat group.

Chen Tong smiled, this is another place to fool people, don't you say it, smearing black people is also a technical job, and I like to guide people's thinking the most.

Chen Tong:

"It's a play on words, a mental trap that you create to feel like these people aren't resting. ”

"If you do the math and you know it's another pit. ”

"Do you think that Emperor Yang of Sui will levy 2 million people every month, and in the second month, he will not let these people go home, and continue to levy 2 million?"

"And then these people accumulate sickness and die in large numbers?"

..........

Wu Zetian nodded.

Heart of the Illusory Sea:

"yes, isn't there something wrong?"

"That's how I understand it when I read history books. ”

..............

The emperors all frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Punish your ten clans (the lord of the prosperous world):

"I always felt that there was something wrong with this. ”

"But for a while, I can't think of anything wrong?"

Zhu Di's words resonated with everyone.

............

Chen Tong smiled, this is a kind of thinking inducement.

Chen Tong:

"According to this calculation, how many people will be transferred to build the Grand Canal in a year?"

"The answer is, 12 months, a total of 24 million people!"

"Then think about the population of the Sui Dynasty? At the peak of the Sui Dynasty, the population was only 46 million, and you put 24 million people here in the Grand Canal in a year. ”

"This is half of the population of the Sui Dynasty, let's start by saying that this is not practical. ”

"I asked, can the Grand Canal construction site be crowded with so many people?"

..................

This......?

Li Shimin was stunned at that time.

It's really unreasonable to think about it.

How could it be possible for half of the population of the Sui Dynasty to build the Grand Canal?

Cao Cao laughed, sure enough, from a different angle, he looked at the problem more clearly.

Friends of Married Woman:

"I understand, the person who wrote the Kaihe Ji must have a zero score in mathematics!"

"He doesn't count. ”

"If you do the math, you know that this statement is nonsense. ”

............

Emperor Xin nodded, he was more interested in Chen Tong's multi-angle consideration, because the problems seen from different angles were different, which could corroborate each other.

He no longer played with Daji, but concentrated on the group, which made Daji very depressed and kept shouting that he wanted to join the group.

Anti-God Vanguard (Emperor of the Ancients):

"So, what's your understanding?"

.............

Chen Tong's fingers danced wildly on the mechanical keyboard, making a clicking sound, he had too much regret for Yang Guang, and he also felt sad and indignant for Yang Guang.

It can be said that every dynasty since the Sui Dynasty has been enjoying Yang Guang's grace, but each one is darker than the other.

Chen Tong:

"What's really going on?"

"It was Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who recruited 2 million people every month, and after a month of hard labor, these two million people had to go home to reunite with their families. ”

Then the newly recruited 2 million people continued to work, and they were recruited in batches and served in batches, and the families had rest. ”

"I asked, to build the Grand Canal, because of the requisition of a large number of people, the labor intensity has been greatly reduced, and he can rest after only one month of labor, why did he exhaust people to death, and 2.5 million died?"

"Now the intensity of construction workers is not small, as long as there is work, many construction workers, are not resting for several months, why there is no large-scale overwork death?"

"There were certainly casualties on the construction site of the Grand Canal, but certainly within acceptable limits. ”

"It is impossible to see the records in "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Kaihe Ji", where 2.5 million people died at once. ”

"Emperor Yang of Sui wants to surpass the ancient and modern, and population is also an important indicator, can he understand?"

"In five years, the number of people in the hukou has increased by 1 million, so I asked, is this all due to the inventory of hidden people?"

............

There was a commotion in the chat group, this is the explanation that does not insult IQ.
