Volume 5 Whose Great Cause Chapter 10 Secrets
When Yu Chi Mingyue said that she was Yu Chi Yuan's granddaughter, she was feeling uneasy in her heart, but she heard the emperor suddenly sigh and wave her hand: "You guys go down." ”
"Yes, slaves and maids will retire." A group of palace maids shouted in unison, the emperor did not punish them, which undoubtedly made them feel very fortunate in their hearts, but Yu Chi Mingyue couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment in her heart, she grew up in the palace, she naturally knew how rare such an opportunity was, if she missed this time, the emperor might soon forget about her.
Seeing a group of palace maids going down, one of the chamberlains said playfully: "Your Majesty, do you want to let that Wei Chi Mingyue come over to sleep tonight?" ”
When Yang Yong was still the prince, in order to please the emperor and the queen, he only married three wives and concubines, and now he has ascended the throne. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was raised, the emperor immediately shouted: "Get out!" ”
"Damn it! Slaves and maids should be damned! The chamberlain was half frightened, fell to his knees, and sobbed himself desperately.
The rest of the chamberlains were remorseful because they didn't bring it up first, and they immediately became gloating, but they also secretly wondered in their hearts, could it be that the new emperor was really not interested in beauty, and the current queen was not as jealous as Queen Dugu.
If a palace maid is so beautiful, Yang Yong doesn't mind letting her sleep, but at this time Yang Yong is not in the mood, since the Sui Dynasty Zhou, Yu Chi Fanchi has entered the nunnery as a nun, and now more than 20 years have passed, and the former girl is now afraid that she has become a middle-aged female nun.
For Wei Chi Fanchi, if it is said that Yang Yong was not completely thoughtless at the beginning, it was just compared with beauty. Yang Yong's pursuit of something bigger is now recalled. I can't help but feel a little sympathy for Yu Chi Fanchi's fate, but Yang Yong can't do anything for her now, but it's always embarrassing to think about, and it also makes Yang Yong temporarily lose the mood of letting Yu Chi Mingyue sleep, the waiter is only in his twenties, how do you know that there are so many twists in the middle, it can only be said that he has suffered a disaster.
"Alright, stop it."
"Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty. The side of the chamberlain's face was already swollen, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly retreated as if he had been pardoned.
Yang Yong got up in a moment's interest, and when he sat down in the imperial study, he waved his hand to let all the attendants retreat, and after the attendants respectfully retreated, Yang Yong thought about it. I pressed it in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the imperial study, and a chirping sound sounded, and a wooden box came out.
Yang Yong put the small box on the table, the box was locked by a copper lock, Yang Yong touched it on his body, took out a small key, and inserted the key into a copper lock, only to hear the sound of the horn, the copper lock opened, and Yang Yong lifted it with his hand. The lid of the wooden box slowly opened.
There are no treasures in the box, only a few books are lying quietly in the box, and the top book is slightly yellowed on the paper, and it is a little damaged, obviously there are some years, Yang Yong gently stroked the book with his hand, and then picked it up and opened the book gently.
The book is full of dense brush characters, and in some places there are strange symbols, and the words on it are horizontally. Many of the strokes seem to have been missed, and if others see such a book, they may not even have the interest to turn it over, it is like a child who has just started school and scribbled it, but the emperor has read it with great taste. And they are like treasures to these books. No, any treasures are placed here. Yang Yong didn't think it was worth the value of these books.
There is no doubt that these books were written by Yang Yong himself before, and there are all kinds of things recorded on them, all the things that Yang Yong thinks that this world does not have and are useful, Yang Yong has written them down, these things Yang Yong has memorized as he thinks, and he has never sorted them out, and many things are repeated, so they are very messy.
The things on these books, Yang Yong has been remembering for more than 20 years, there are only five books in the box, but in addition to the first two years to write down four volumes, Yang Yong's hand has been remembering this book from more than ten years to the present, this book is still not finished, especially in the past few years, Yang Yong has not recorded a word, occasionally remembered one thing and wanted to remember, flipped through the previous booklet, has already been remembered.
This is the only evidence that Yang Yong is different from this world, except for himself, even the closest wife and concubine and children have not seen any of them, when he is in the East Palace, even if there is nothing to remember, every once in a while Yang Yong will be alone in the study, take out this box, and quietly look through it.
It's just that from the time he ascended the throne to the present, except for the day when he personally moved this box from the East Palace to the palace, Yang Yong still had a flawed look at it. This box has been lying in the corner for more than three months, and Yang Yong finally got a flaw today and took this box out again.
After a cursory look at the front, turning to the middle, it showed a blank, Yang Yong thought about it, took out a brush from the table, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the blank page, after writing, Yang Yong put the pen down again, and the blank page was occupied by six big characters almost half: canal, imperial examination, navigation.
These three major events, Yang Guang has done two things in history, bringing thousands of years of prosperity to future generations, but Yang Guang's fate is not very good, although Yang Yong is now the emperor, and has the knowledge of future generations, these three major events are not easy, can do one is enough to make an emperor immortal, if you do two, it is very likely that the eternal will become a stench for thousands of years, if it is three?
After thinking about it, Yang Yong took the pen again, turned another page, wrote down the word canal with a pen, and then wrote a note, with five years of work, more than 500,000 manpower, perennial labor, to build the canal for 3,500 miles, connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River.
After writing, Yang Yong put down his pen and sighed, the canal, the disadvantages were good at that time, but he had to try to change the disadvantages into advantages, so far, the only way to use slaves, as for the source of slaves. Of course, it came from a foreign conquest, and now it is a battle in Mayi. The Great Sui already had more than 20,000 captives in their hands, and the fate of these captives was to be reduced to slaves who built the Grand Canal, and these slaves were not pardoned until the Grand Canal was completed.
Of course, more than 20,000 people are far from enough, even if the entire Eastern Turks are destroyed, they will not be able to gather 500,000 laborers, Yang Yong raised his head and glanced at a large map hanging in the imperial study, and his eyes finally stopped in the direction of Goguryeo, which currently has 500,000 households. Based on the calculation of two to three strong laborers per household, if it destroys the country, it can provide at least 80 to 1 million laborers, which is more than enough to build the Grand Canal.
There is a saying in later generations that there is a Chinese soul under every sleeper of the Central Pacific Railway in the United States, and if the Grand Canal is completed, I don't know if it will be recited in the future. In the canal of the Great Cause Year, every meter has a strange soul.
But what is this, the Americans relied on the Central Taiping Railway to communicate the north and the south, and it took decades to become the world's first power, and who cares a hundred years later?
Hmph, why am I afraid of fame? Yang Yong smiled coldly, the victor will not be judged, I want to tell the people behind me that fighting a war is not a reckless force, and manpower is also a resource. Why not exchange the cry of a foreign race for the laughter of your own race?
Fortunately, the country has just been reunified, and Confucianism is not strong, Yang Yong can be sure that as long as most officials taste the sweetness, not many people will cry out for these people of different races.
"Father, father." A yellow warbler-like voice came from outside the study, and Yang Yong heard the voice of his youngest daughter Yang Lan, his face changed, and he put the book he had just written into the box and locked it again. Hiding as fast as he could, and after doing all these things, the door of the imperial study was already knocking.
"It's coming, it's coming." Yang Yong opened the door of the imperial study.
Yang Lan's little head burrowed in, and her eyes swept towards the study. I saw that there was no one else except Yang Yong. He was very surprised: "Father, what are you doing?" ”
Yang Yong shook his head. didn't answer, put Yang Lan in, the three sons have been separated out of Beijing, guarding Jiangnan together, only two daughters are in Beijing at the moment, Yang Lan is fourteen years old, completely inherited her mother Yun Meier's beauty, wearing a purple clothes, a white fox fur around her neck, her chest bulging together, and two blushes on her snow-white face because of running, very delicate and cute, at this time in Yang Yong's study probe brain, as if looking for something?
"What are you doing?" Yang Yong asked suspiciously.
"Father, where did you hide that beautiful palace maid?" Yang Lan blurted out.
Yang Yong laughed when he heard it, Yang Lan asked this, as if he suspected that he was cheating just now, if it was someone else, Yang Yong had already taken it down to play the board as soon as he gave the order, but in the face of his daughter, Yang Yong had always been pampered, and said with a hard face: "Songyang, what nonsense are you talking about, where is the palace maid from here for my father?" ”
Yang Lan had already searched all the corners of the imperial study at this time, and saw that there was really no one, so she dispelled her thoughts, but she was not afraid of Yang Yong's face, but instead grabbed Yang Yong's hand and shook it: "Father, tell you, is the palace maid who plays the piano beautiful or am I beautiful?" ”
Yang Lan's coquettishness, Yang Yong's stiff face could no longer be maintained, revealing a hint of a smile: "Of course, my good daughter is the most beautiful, and in the palace, who else can be more beautiful than my Princess Songyang." ”
Yang Lan said unhappily: "My father deceives people, my mother is more beautiful than others, and a few guys just now said that there is a palace maid in the Ganlu Hall who not only plays the piano beautifully, but also looks like a fairy." ”
Although Yang Lan is beautiful, but after all, she is still young, and of course she can't compare with Yu Chi Mingyue's mature and thrilling beauty, but I don't know which waiter has a lot of mouth, so quickly it reached Yang Lan's ears, Yang Yong said angrily: "Which guy is talking nonsense, I have to cut off his tongue?" ”
Yang Lan was not diverted by Yang Yong's words, she had to pester to see the beautiful palace maid, if she wanted to check, Yu Chi Mingyue had a name and surname, and she could find it soon in the palace, but Yang Yong was not in the mood to see Yu Chi Mingyue for the time being, and shook his head and refused. Yang Lan begged for a long time, but when she saw that Yang Yong didn't agree, she muttered and had to give up.
If the children born in ordinary families reach the age of fourteen, they are almost going to marry and become a wife, and they are already sensible, but Yang Lan has always grown up in the palace, and Yang Yong has always been very fond of her daughter, and her sister has not yet married, so she naturally does not have to worry about getting married for the time being, she is still a little girl, and soon she is clamoring to leave the palace.
When the prince, Yang Yong often took the guards out of the city or played in the city at will, became the emperor, compared to the prince, there were more and more constraints, and some time ago there were some family members in the city who died in the bloody night of the capital, the city was not very safe, Yang Yong has rarely gone out of the palace, and now a few months have passed, those who oppose the emperor have basically been cleared by the dark guards, and they are much safer, Yang Yong was entangled, nodded and agreed.
Yang Lan suddenly cheered, and immediately ran in the direction of the harem, to tell her sister Princess Pingyang the good news, and to change her clothes again, it took almost half an hour for Yang Lan and her sister Yang Yan to come together, both of them changed into a fur, and the white ground fur set off their delicate faces, like elves in the snow.
Hundreds of guards had already taken care of everything, and as soon as the two princesses came out, they boarded a carriage without any Peugeot, Yang Yong was already sitting in the car, and there were two carriages that were exactly the same as those that Yang Yong was sitting in, and the three carriages drove out of a section of the road that was only for the palace personnel to enter and exit, and immediately separated on the street, even if someone kept staring at the palace, they didn't know which carriage was the important person who came out of the palace.
