Cangguo made money through trade and tariffs, and then provided job opportunities for the common people, and distributed the wealth earned to the people, which is to open a small gap in the wealth cycle of the people.

With this small gap, the people of Cangguo will benefit from it and become rich as a whole.

Therefore, in Cangguo, in fact, the construction of such a big project is a great thing for the people.

For the rest of the nations, however, it is different.

Not to mention, the rest of the countries have no consciousness of paid forced labor at all, and even if they do, they do not have the financial resources.

The construction of the Grand Canal was definitely not achieved overnight.

The people, material, and financial resources expended are unprecedented.

Among them, the most bitter is the common people.

For example, if the state of Chu wants to dig a canal that leads directly to the border and connects with the state of Cang, then the number of people to be recruited is definitely more than one million.

And these millions of people, who are not engaged in farming, have to rely on the maintenance of the government for food and clothing.

Historically, the construction of large projects has caused countless deaths, and the construction of canals is even more so, and the heavy manual work and the abuse of the overseers must have caused the requisitioned people to complain.

The families behind them have lost their breadwinners and are struggling to survive.

In the long run, no resentment boils.

In this case, if it is a strong and stable country, it will certainly be no problem, and it will be suppressed by the peasant rebellion.

But what if there is another war?

In this era, the most normal thing is war.

As long as the state of Chu raises troops against other countries, or any country comes to attack the state of Chu, once it cannot support it economically, the whole country will collapse all at once.

Historically, the Sui Dynasty in China was like that.

It took too much people's power to dig the canal, and they conquered Goguryeo three times.

Finally, the mighty empire collapsed, leaving posterity with infinite regret and reverie.

Of course, Yang Mu knew that Cangguo was completely different from the Sui Dynasty in history.

First, conscription is paid.

Second, the country is prosperous and the people are cohesive.

On this basis, he also plans to introduce an insurance system, so that every citizen can use a small amount of money to buy a personal accident insurance, and once a citizen is injured or dies, he will receive a valuable compensation.

"Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepare, invite envoys from various countries to Cangcheng to discuss major matters." Yang Mu instructed Ji Ling'er beside him, paused and said: "In addition, order the Ministry of Engineering to prepare materials, list all the canals planned by my Cangguo and the construction bidding of various river sections, etc., and try to start construction after the year." ”

"Yes." Ji Ling'er nodded, and said, "Your Majesty...... Is it to the envoys of the various countries to reveal some of the contents of this discussion? ”

Content ......

Yang Mu thought for a while, before discussing major events, Cangguo had to reveal some things to the envoys of various countries, such as the content of the negotiation and the things that should be prepared, so that the envoys of the countries could not only have a psychological preparation, but also give them time to report to their superiors and determine an attitude, so that everyone could make up an idea during the discussion.

In this meeting, if nothing was revealed, the envoys of various countries did not know how to answer when they asked.

"In this way, I will tell the envoys of the countries that Cangguo has been thinking about how to make the common people live a prosperous life, and has no intention of making enemies with the countries, in order to show the peace and sincerity of the Cangguo, and for the sake of cooperation and commerce, he is willing to help the countries form heavy cavalry, and at the same time provide various equipment for the heavy cavalry. And what the countries need to pay is the money to buy equipment, plus the Grand Canal. ”

"Your Majesty, heavy cavalry is a big advantage for us, we can really ......" Yang Mu glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "That's right, that's it." There are no outsiders here, and I might as well tell you that the heavy cavalry is a class of troops that seems to be incomparably powerful, and countries are shocked by its power, but it also has inevitable shortcomings, which cannot be discovered by countries now, and are difficult to discover, even before a major defeat, its shortcomings cannot be discovered. When the countries spend huge financial and manpower resources and build up a huge heavy cavalry, sooner or later, they will be beaten to the ground by our army on the battlefield. ”

Ji Ling'er was relieved, although one or two sentences were not enough to solve the doubts in his heart, but since His Majesty the Emperor had a plan in his heart, she was also relieved.

……

15 years of Taiding.

At the initiative of Cangguo, countries have responded to the plan of the Grand Canal.

The countries adjacent to Cangguo have said that they will dig canals from the imperial capital of their own countries to the border with Cangguo.

According to the discussions between the countries, the construction period of the canals in each country is five years, and the main river channel will be completed in three years.

Looking at the map, it's a long one.

However, many of these sections can be connected by the design of existing river channels.

For example, the Jin Kingdom needs to be excavated the least.

Thanks to the well-developed waterways, a rough calculation shows that only a thousand miles of river needs to be excavated.

Most of the existing rivers can be renovated.

The Grand Canal project is also a good thing for all countries.

Water conservancy, water transportation, and the connection with Cangguo...... No country is willing to be left behind by the times in this great trend, and no one wants to be left behind.

It can be said that after the completion of the Grand Canal in various countries, Cangguo will be the center of the world, and the new Cangcheng will be the center of the center, which is a metropolis integrating economy, politics and culture.

Cangguo ushered in a period of hot development.

This is the second major development of Cangguo.

For the first time, let Cangguo become a big country.

This time, it will allow Cangguo to fundamentally gain the advantage of suppressing all countries.

Every state and county, every prefecture and city, there is something to do.

Either canals were dug or roads and railroad tracks were built.

That's right, the rails.

According to Yang Mu's meaning, the development and commissioning of the train is only a matter of time, and it is better to take advantage of the current rare peace and stability to lay the key rails first.

As a result, the entire Ministry of Industry also ran at high speed.

Overloaded operation.

The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have also approached various countries on the matter of heavy cavalry.

At the beginning, countries were also a little skeptical that Cangguo's reaction of only money in his eyes was some fraud.

Soon, however, countries began to let their guard down.

Because, the strength of the heavy cavalry is like a heavy punch, and it hits everyone's hearts firmly.

After seeing the heavy cavalry with his own eyes, everyone's suspicions dissipated in an instant.

How could such a powerful heavy cavalry be deceitful?

For the sake of a plan, can Cangguo provide such powerful weapons and equipment to all countries?

To be taught such a powerful class to others?

Unless, the head of the Emperor of Cangguo was really kicked by a donkey.

Cangguo declared neutrality, did not participate in the war between the countries, only wanted to make money, only wanted to defend it, it was absolutely true!
