It is true that it is not denied that Yang Guang, a buddy who lived a luxurious and corrupt life, abused the people's power to Yangzhou to taste food and listen to the small tune of making beauties, and finally led to anger and resentment, and bore great responsibility for the fall of the empire. Is that all? Not really. After the Western Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, China went through three hundred years of time. The Yangtze River basin has developed. In the past, the Great Sui was the military aristocracy of Guanlong and started from the west, and Chang'an was the political center, the revolutionary base, the base camp and the military nest. Merchants gathered, government guards and bureaucratic families. There are more mouths to eat. However, the 800-mile plain in Guanzhong is still due to hundreds of years of frequent wars, especially the Wuhu chaos in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the destruction of water conservancy facilities. These minority tribes ran into the feudal society in one go, and the management ideology and ideology were still stuck in the slave society. What kind of people's livelihood, construction, that's all nonsense. Agrarian civilization is in sharp decline. Let's take an example. Let's cite a historical material from Mr. Wang Zhongju. This Guanzhong Plain, we have always said that it is 800 miles, Qinchuan and fertile fields, thousands of miles. Why did that guy Qin rise from such a remote and bitter cold place, of course, all the historians can talk about it for three days and five days. In a word, the reason is complicated. But I just want to talk about one thing – the most advanced and complete irrigation system. It's nothing now, it's global economic integration. There is a lot of rain in Guangxi, but there is no rain in Fujian, so the materials can be circulated and deployed. This is called the rational flow of resources. Not at the time. There is no such thing as importing or exporting. At that time, there were two major water conservancy systems in the Guanzhong Plain. Zheng Qu and Bai Qu. During the Qin and Han dynasties, 4,500 hectares of fields were irrigated by Baiqu. How much does Zhengqu irrigate? Stand firm. 40,000 hectares! However, by the time of Tang Yonghui, the two brothers had only 6,000 hectares of irrigated fields. Even a fraction of a bit of wood is there. Wei and Jin, these northern minority regimes, are really a scourge, there is no way, let's face the reality. I can't feed people. Grain must be imported! At this time, the eastern and southern parts of the empire were thriving. In order to escape the war, the well-dressed nobles and wealthy families, as well as the bosses and white-collar workers, all went south. If you can't play with the masters of those ethnic minorities who dance knives and guns, you can escape. The advanced culture, science and technology and management concepts of the Central Plains region have flowed to the Yangtze River basin in the south. The areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the imperial Shandong region (present-day Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, etc.) developed. Population, food and cultural development surpassed that of the Guanzhong Plain in the northwest. And also. In the event of a war or an emergency in the Empire, it would be a problem to mobilize troops from Daxing Castle. The inconvenience of transportation and the remoteness of the capital are hard wounds. If the regime is a small court in a corner of peace. Daxing City is enough! But now the Great Sui is a unified empire, the east is the old land of the Northern Qi, and the south is the old land of the Southern Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it has only been a few years since the unification. The rule of the empire can be taken into account in both the east and the west, the north and the south. As the government's only brain command center, Daxingcheng has a central control over local problems. Therefore, this Comrade Yang Guang, like the Tuoba Hong brother of the Northern Wei Dynasty, if he wants to rule the empire better. A painful but long-term wise decision: move! Luoyang entered Yang Guang's field of vision. There are also important towns in the Yangtze River basin in the southeast, Jiangdu and Yuhang. How to connect? In ancient times, shoulder-carrying animal pulling was expensive and time-consuming. Water transport is the best way to go. Connecting the five major river systems in series is the best shortcut to transport bulk supplies, munitions, and mobilize troops. The construction of the Eastern Capital has begun! The Grand Canal of the Century Project has begun! Speaking of which, do you want to take a look at the Grand Canal? I don't have a problem if you don't applaud it, but I think at least you won't be like this old gentleman who opens his mouth at every turn, "The end of the Sui is the river". The Grand Canal is more wronged than Dou E, and this black cauldron has been carried for thousands of years in one breath. The Grand Canal has been repaired, should it be accepted? You see, okay. Acceptance officer: He'll be there soon!

In the fifth year of the great cause, Yang Guangzheng led a large team of men and dependents to tour Zhangye in the west. One day he asked this to Cai Zheng. He said: "Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has a hunting ceremony, but those monarchs of the Southern Dynasty have been greased and powdered all day long, sitting in the deep palace, and not seeing the people, what kind of work is this? This Lord Cai replied, "This is the reason why their Southern Dynasty Imperial Dynasty was short-lived." "The emperor is a great joy. This emperor asked well, and Lord Cai, the sycophant, answered absolutely, and the key emperor was very useful. This way of asking oneself and answering the minister's answers is very similar to the lecture style of Confucius in the Analects. Mr. Sima Guang recorded this dialogue between the monarch and the minister in Tongjian. It is worth studying Yang Guang's governing psychology. In addition to liking to use large construction projects to build cities, Yang Guang also has a special hobby. That's the parade. Since he came to power, he hasn't stopped this buddy, he has been cruising non-stop. He reigned for fourteen years before and after he became emperor. Everyone on earth knows this. In the past 14 years, this master has visited Jiangdu three times, toured the north twice, and toured Zhangye in the west once. According to statistics, there have been as many as eight large-scale and long-distance patrols alone. Running back and forth between Daxing City in Xijing and Luoyang in the east has become commonplace. I speak softly, and everyone definitely doesn't believe it. But I'll talk to a big man. You'll have to believe it. The historian Mr. Cen Zhongmian once made a statistic, saying that in the 14 years of Comrade Yang Guang's reign, the cumulative time spent in Daxing City was less than one year, and the cumulative time in Luoyang, the eastern capital, was no more than four years, and the rest of the time was spent in various places. Life is on the way. This is Comrade Yang Guang's life creed, this buddy he advocates is: "If you are addicted, you will die." "It doesn't matter how long it lasts, the key is to have it." Even if it is a stench for 10,000 years, I am willing. What can I do? Love what's wrong. "Go your own way and to hell with everyone else." When encountering this kind of emperor leadership, I don't think anyone has a problem.

In August of the first year of the Great Cause (605 AD), only five months later, the Grand Canal was completed. In particular, the most important section of the Tongji Canal (Bianshui to the Huai River) was navigable. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this. Immediately ordered to take a boat trip to the capital of Xingjiang. Then you have to prepare a boat for His Majesty the Emperor first. The boat that the emperor was riding on can't be called a boat, it's called a dragon boat. That's amazing, now I have to take a good look at Comrade Yang Guang's extravagant and luxurious Dragon Palace. How big is this dragon boat? It is recorded in the history books that "it is forty-five feet high and two hundred feet long", which is equivalent to the height of our current five or six stories. How long? Seventy meters long. Well, it's spectacular. This dragon boat has the meaning of "fourfold", that is, four layers. The top floor is, of course, the Emperor's Presidential Suite. There is the main hall, the inner hall, the east and west courts, that is, there are reception rooms, bedrooms and office areas for receiving the ministers of civil and military affairs. The middle three floors are standard rooms, how many rooms are there? 120 rooms, which are all "decorated with gold and jade", super luxury standard rooms, decorated with golden splendor, specially designed to receive guests. The lowest floor was occupied by the emperor's subordinates. This is the emperor's dragon boat, so what does the queen live in? It is recorded in the history books that the boat that Empress Xiao took was called "Xiang Boat", which was slightly smaller than the dragon boat, but the decoration specifications were all the same high specifications. In addition, there are nine "floating scenes", three floors, also known as the "water temple". These are all high-end passenger boats. Then there were ministers and envoys and their passenger ships. There are thousands of ships recorded in the history books, such as "Yangcai, Vermilion Bird, Cangjiao, White Tiger, Xuanwu, Feiyu, Qingyu, Lingbo", etc., which are for those ** concubines, princesses, officials, monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and Fan passengers, and they are also used as goods, which are dual-purpose for passengers and goods. This was not the end of the story, Watt had not yet invented the steam engine, let alone the nuclear power that is now in vogue. Inland rivers have not yet been powered by sails, and the Ranfu is indispensable. Should the emperor's fleet use the Shenma people as a husband? Is it a stinky and sweaty migrant worker brother? This is absolute, the emperor is not like us ordinary people. That Yang Guang is the best among the emperors. His actions always shock and even frighten us. I haven't talked about a bit of a glamorous plot here, have I? Here's a little bit of a joke. The watchman remained calm. A scene of vivid color and fragrance, coupled with the incomparably fragrant husband team, immediately appeared. The show is about to begin!

In the past, Zhaoxun, Wenchen, and military generals, the history of the Qing Dynasty will stay forever, and more than 100 talented people will cook wine and talk about the ancient and modern splashes of ink, among the Hanlin Hall, the wonderful pen and flowers, the first to talk and laugh, the sword, the kings have pointed to the country, and said that the smoke and rain Xiaoxiao watched the martial arts rivers and lakes, and the legend of the three lives of the stone and the legend of Bao Dai, the sad song was left in the future generations, and the east wind was like pressing the west wind, the success or failure of the common death, the prosperity of a piano and a sword, walking the world, laughing at the autumn moon and the spring breeze, first of all, we introduce the basic situation of this luxury tour group. Team Leader: Yang Guang (Position: Emperor of the Great Sui) Deputy Team Leader: Empress Xiao (Position: Empress of the Great Sui) Chief Manager (equivalent to a full tour guide): Wang Hong (Position: Huangmen Shilang) Number of members: 100,000 (conservative estimate) Travel expenses: all public funds (no need to pay, the invoice is free) Travel starting point: Luoyang, Henan Province: Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu Destination: Yangzhou, JiangsuCatering: Jiangnan Specialties, The local government provides accommodation: water luxury cruise ship (super five-star standard) cruise ship power technology: manpower and animal power tourism project: Jiangnan style and canal scenery. Travel time: tentatively scheduled for half a year (depending on the mood of the team leader) Speaking of this super luxury public fund Jiangnan half-year cruise fleet, it is amazing. The team is unprecedented, not only with high specifications and large numbers, but also alive and fragrant. It is estimated that there is no one in history who has never been seen before, and there is no one who has come after. It is recorded in the history books that the number of husbands of our Comrade Yang Guang's fleet during this southern tour is very exaggerated. How much? Listen, don't scare you. More than eighty thousand. Among them, there are more than 9,000 husbands of the emperor and empress and the ships above Yangcai, and these husbands are called "the foot of the palace". It's easy to understand. The porter of the water palace. These palace feet are all people in front of the emperor's eyes, and they must be dressed decently, and it is recorded in the history books that they are all wearing robes made of brocade. "All of them are robes of brocade." Then should the Centaur be the husband or the foot of the temple? Migrant worker brothers in general? That's definitely not going to drop. Not to mention the unsightly, there is still a smell of sweat on the body, how can the emperor and queen stand it? At this time, this sycophant minister Wang Hong appeared, and the construction that this guy mentioned to the emperor was gone. He said that he would use some little girls and beauties as the feet of the temple, so that it would be pleasing to the eye. But the problem comes again, this little girl is very beautiful, good-looking and pleasing to the eye, but her body is thin, can't she pull this giant wheel swollen? Wang Hongda is a flexible brain, saying that this is not simple, every young beauty with a sheep, manpower and animal power, the problem is solved. The ranking officer asked again, why don't you use cows, horses or donkeys to cooperate with beauties to pull the giant wheel? Do you have to have sheep?
