Chapter 392 Emperor Wen of Sui, who is comparable to the First Emperor

Some black lines suddenly appeared on the foreheads of Ying Zheng and the others, and they talked about eating again.

"We are very happy that the gentleman can give us a delicious meal." Feng Quji said, "According to Mr., the land of Bashu is very rich at present? ”

"Of course, it's famous in the world." Qin An said.

Feng Qujian smiled and said, "Sir misunderstood, I mean, the land of Bashu was very rich during the Qin Dynasty. ”

"Of course." Qin An said, "At that time, the reason why everyone thought that the land of Bashu was very poor was that the transportation was inconvenient at that time, and there was only one plank road leading to the territory.

Later, after Han Xin arrived in the land of Bashu to take refuge in Liu Bang, he found a small road, Chencang Road.

The eight words of Ming Xiu Plank Road and Dark Chen Cang were used by later generations to refer to using a certain action to confuse the other party on the surface, but secretly taking another action to achieve the goal.

It is also a ploy that is often used both commercially and militarily. ”

"Bright plank road, dark Chen Cang." Meng Wu muttered to himself, "Good strategy, really good strategy."

Han Xin can deceive anyone with this strategy, not just Xiang Yu, even I will be deceived. ”

"General Meng." Qin An said, "You will be deceived, then it can only mean that you have only seen the surface, or that you are the same as Xiang Yu, you are an extremely conceited person, and no one can change you in what you believe."

If Xiang Yu made a plan to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark. Han Shin would definitely be skeptical.

Is it that easy to build a plank road? It's not easy, and it's even more suspicious to repair so eagerly, regardless of the lives of the soldiers.

You must know that Liu Bang has always been known for his wisdom, how could he let the soldiers work so desperately? ”

Meng Wu was speechless, he didn't know who Liu Bang was, who Xiang Yu was, who Han Xin was, he just heard the names of these people, and being able to answer a sentence or two was also analyzed from what Qin An said.

Meng Yi said: "What Mr. said is very reasonable, this is indeed very suspicious, if Xiang Yu was not a conceited person, I am afraid that Liu Bang would have been killed a long time ago." ”

"That's just as well." Qin An agreed with Meng Yi's words.

"Sir, let's continue to talk about the land of Baiyue." Meng Yi said.

Qin An nodded and said: "After the land of Baiyue arrived in the Han Dynasty, many places were developed, and the land of Wuyue became the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River and the granary of the entire China.

The land south of the Yangtze River has become very rich, no worse than Guanzhong, and even very good.

However, there is still a piece of land in the land of Baiyue that will be called Lingnan in later generations, although there are many good places in Lingnan, and the economy is also very developed, but on the whole, Lingnan is considered by the world to have many mountain people, and it is smoky.

However, it was later developed, and Lingnan's resources are very rich, which directly drives the economy of the entire Lingnan.

Father-in-law, I didn't give you a map of Huaxia, I have already marked out each province.

You can go through ancient books, find the map of Baiyue, and then check it to know where it is?

If you want to build a port, my suggestion is to build a port in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen University, etc.

And there is one thing that is very troublesome, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Daqin is not as perfect as it is now. ”

"Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal?" Everyone said at the same time.

Ying Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of river is this?" Why didn't it when Great Qin did? When did that come be?

I remember that there is a river in Daqin that was dug by Wu Wangfu and used to cut down Qi. ”

Everyone looked at Qin An curiously.

Qin An said: "This is it. Now called the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, this is a Grand Canal that began to be dug in the Spring and Autumn Period, and is the longest Grand Canal in history, with a total length of about 1,794 kilometers.

It has played a tremendous role in the economic and cultural development and exchanges between the northern and southern regions of China, especially the development of the industrial and agricultural economy along the Belt and Road.

The reason why the land south of the Yangtze River became rich so quickly is because of this Grand Canal.

Although the reason for the excavation was that Wu Wangfu wanted to cut down Qi, few people dug the canal after that.

After nearly a thousand years, when he arrived in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty mobilized five million laborers to dig the Grand Canal, and now this canal has the current scale, and Yang Guang has made great contributions.

The fall of the Sui Dynasty also had a lot to do with the Grand Canal.

Of course, there are three of them related to Goguryeo, each of which is a defeat, and a whole million army is defeated, and in the end the people would rather break their legs themselves than become soldiers. ”

"It's rubbish." Meng Wu said.

Qin An shook his head and said, "Hey." This person is not easy to say, before he became an emperor, he was still good, after becoming an emperor, there were good and bad, but no matter whether it was good or bad, he did things to the extreme.

Let's talk about the Grand Canal, Yang Guang mobilized five million laborers to dig it, although this is a good thing, it is a great thing for future generations, but it was a disaster for the time.

There were also three expeditions to Goguryeo, which was supposed to increase the territory, but I didn't expect it, but it failed, and I lost three times in a row.

You must know that Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui, was a real Ming monarch, and under his governance, there was the rule of the emperor.

Emperor Wen of Sui gradually unified China, which had been divided for hundreds of years, and ended the Xianbei policy of Yuwentai in the Western Wei Dynasty, and restored the Han ministers and soldiers who had changed the surname to Xianbei.

This achievement is no less than the unification of the six kingdoms by the First Emperor. ”

"How can he be compared to the First Emperor." Meng Wu said in a deep voice, revealing disbelief in his tone.

Ying Zheng was also slightly unconvinced, and said: "Even if Yang Jian ends Huaxia, can he be compared with the First Emperor?" ”

"Father-in-law, the merits of the First Emperor are incomparable, he established the unification of China, but there are one or two people who are comparable to him in later generations.

However, the people of later generations will never forget the First Emperor, but they may forget Yang Jian.

Because the first person will always be remembered, and the second person may be forgotten.

Although we may forget Yang Jian, we will not forget his exploits and will not forget the Sui Dynasty.

And this Emperor Wen of Sui has made great contributions politically, economically, ethnically, etc.

If you want to know, I can tell you that, by the way, he invented the imperial examination system.

Moreover, he abolished the imperial court system of the original imperial court and set up six ministries in three provinces, six of which were: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

These six works lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty, that is, they did not disappear until the feudal dynasty was completely over.

As for the imperial examination system, it is still popular, but it has been changed by a different name. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
