Chapter 530: On the Canal
I drank with the adults in Luoyang again, and when it was almost time, Xiao Han said goodbye and left.
Looking at his back, Lu Lun actually smiled: "I thought that this Xiaohan prince was just a martial artist, although he was a martial artist, although he was a martial artist, but it was only a military general; I didn't expect that he would pay so much attention to the lives of the common people, this is the true nature of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, who said that this Xiaohan prince can only play with women?
"Hehe, you just know, Lord Lu, you and I are too far away from him, haha! My nephew's ability, you have only seen one-tenth of it!" Li Ke, the king of Luoyang, laughed proudly.
When Lu Lun heard this, he felt even more incredible: What's wrong with him? Hasn't he always been pretentious? Why, he has also served Prince Xiaohan at this time? It's so strange!
"Hehe, this prince has always only served capable people, Tong Su is not bullied, haha, Han'er is stronger than this prince!haha, our Li family only needs to be stronger from generation to generation!" After speaking, Li Ke showed a sweet smile, obviously, he was very satisfied with the actions of Xiaohan and Princess Taiping.
Lu Lun smiled: "That's true, haha, then, the prince, let's leave, this time, let's thank the prince, hehe, the prince saved us a lot of money, thank you, the prince!"
"Little thing, okay, then, let's meet again!" Li Ke, the king of Luoyang, had already taken the lead in leaving.
That chic demeanor stunned Lu Lun, he didn't see Li Ke's demeanor, but this time, he really felt the ease of this old prince, it seemed that everything was not important to him;
"What's the matter, does Lord Lu feel inappropriate? Is there something wrong with this old prince?" asked Wei Chi Wushu strangely.
When Lu Lun heard this, he smiled unconsciously: "There's nothing wrong, it's just that this old prince has made our eyes shine this time, and he didn't say anything about it, but also put down his thoughts, aren't we all happy?"
Wei Chi Invincible only then understood, and he didn't feel a smile, happy, and then the two looked at each other and smiled goodbye, each with a sigh!
Xiao Han and they only saw an opportunity to set off in the evening, and a few people played in the air for a while before landing on the dock, and then met Princess Taiping, which was naturally another scene.
Seeing this, Qin Meng'er smiled: "Her Royal Highness the princess was still talking about a few of you just now, and the princess is back, hehe, we are ready for the banquet, when will we leave?"
"Hehe, the girl is a little stupid, let's all come, naturally the sooner we leave, the better, let's hurry to the next post station to rest, in case Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't sleep well on the boat, then we can only take the boat during the day and go ashore at night, let's see, I hope she can sleep well!" Xiao Han thought and said.
Princess Taiping listened to it, and was very happy: "Hehe, brother don't worry, I used to go to the canal every once in a while to take a boat, this time, I have been playing on the boat until Yangzhou is no problem! Haha, thank you brother for caring about Taiping, Taiping is so moved, brother is good, sister thank you! It's just that you have to take care of these big beauties of ours along the way, especially cherish the flowers, and the little girl who won her realm will be pregnant, then the brother will be considered a complete merit! Murong seniors will be even happier!"
As soon as she said it, Murong Xihua was really in spring, her face turned red, and the spring water in her eyes was exaggerated again, seeing Xiao Han was intoxicated for a while, she smiled, and then hugged her in her arms and kissed her.
After a while, Xiao Han said: "By the way, what happened to this Grand Canal? Hehe, I only know that it was built by the old thing of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, hehe, I don't know the rest, sister, Xin'er, you popularize the situation of the Grand Canal for me, otherwise, if others don't know, the prince will be embarrassed!" Xiao Han thought and said.
"Lazy ghost, I don't even know this, okay, Xin'er, it's up to you, you can say it! Your lord Sui Liang should have a lot of insight into this aspect, yes, say it, let's all listen!" Princess Taiping said happily.
Yu Xin listened and smiled: "Her Royal Highness the princess also came to bury my grandfather, however, my grandfather said that this Emperor Yang of Sui has done a great thing, this matter is actually beneficial in the present and in the future, and its role is very great, mainly to connect the five major water systems of our China together!"
The Guangtong Canal (also known as the Fumin Canal and Yongji Canal) opened by Emperor Wen of Sui was actually a dredging of the Han Dynasty trough canal. In the fourth year of the emperor's reign (584), Emperor Wen of Sui used the trough left by the Han Dynasty to dig and ordered Yu Wenkai to lead the water workers to open the Guangtong Canal (also known as the Fumin Canal and Yongji Canal), in the south of Weishui, next to the south of the mountains and east, to Tongguan to connect the Yellow River. In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the opening of Shanyang, which was the old road of Wu Guohangou.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty repaired the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty divided into four: Tongji Canal, Hangou, Yongji Canal, and Jiangnan Canal.
The Tongji Canal is to divert water from the Yellow River from Banzhu and inject Huai Shui. In March of the first year of the Great Cause, more than 100,000 men and women in Henan counties were sent to open the canal. The Tongji Canal is divided into three sections: the western section from Luoyang Xiyuan, the eastern capital, leads the valley water and Luoshui, and the east follows the old road of the Yang Canal from Luoshui into the Yellow River; the middle section from Luokou to Banzhu is the natural river that uses the Yellow River; and the eastern section starts from Banzhu, diverts the water of the Yellow River through the old road of the Bianqu Canal and injects Huaishui. The route of the eastern section of the Tongji Canal is to divert the water of the Yellow River along the old channel of Bianshui, enter Surabaya, and flow into the Huai River.
The Tongji Canal opened by Emperor Yang was opened by using the river channel of the Bianqu (Langtang Canal). From Xiyuan Yinggu and Luoershui bypass to the south and east of Luoyang City, and enter the Yellow River through Luokou of Yanshi County and Gong County, this section of the river is the old Yang channel. The upper section of the Tongji Canal is dredged to the Yellow River by dredging the old channel of the Yang Canal dug by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then along the natural course of the Yellow River to Banzhu to divert the water of the Yellow River into the Bianqu Canal and reach Yuhuai.
The ditch is connected to the Ji Canal, and the Jiangnan Canal is connected to the bottom. The ditch opened in the first year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not the ditch of Wu State, but the straight road of the ditch dug by Chen Deng of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the fourth year of the great cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent more than 100,000 men and women in Hebei counties to open the Yongji Canal, divert Qinshui, reach the Yuhe River in the south, and pass Zhuo County in the north. The Yongji Canal was also made by dredging the canals and natural waterways left by the previous dynasties. From Wushu to Jixian in Henan Province today, it is made by dredging with Qinshui and Qingshui (i.e., Weihe); from Jixian County to Guantao, it is basically formed by using Cao Cao's ancient road to curb Qishui into the Baigou of the Yellow River; in the section of Guantao and Cangzhou, it is partly made of the Tunshi River of the Han Dynasty and the Great River of the Western Han Dynasty; from Cangzhou to Zhuo County, it is partly made use of Zhangshui, and at Duliukou, it is separated from Zhangshui and opens up a new road, which is connected with Luoshui and reaches Zhuojun through Luoshui.
In the sixth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered the opening of the Jiangnan Canal. The Jiangnan Canal of the Sui Dynasty was only dredged on the basis of the Jiangnan Canal dug since the Six Dynasties, and it was not dug by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
"Wow, this Emperor Yang of Sui is not simple, such a huge project is too spectacular, sister, we have to thank Emperor Yang of Sui brother, if it weren't for his generosity, we would have to ride to Jiangnan, hehe, then it's not interesting!" Xiao Han listened, and didn't feel a little appreciative of Emperor Yang of Sui.
Princess Taiping was happy: "Of course, if you want to say that you are lustful, what does Yang Guang count? Haha, which of our emperors of the Tang Dynasty is not lustful? Including our imperial grandfather, he is also a womanizer, hehe, but they can't compare to our free prince, my brother is the most powerful womanizer in the world, and all the beauties can't wait to throw themselves into their arms!" However, even if there is no Yang Guang's actions, we can go to Yangzhou from the sky, but it is also very interesting for us to walk on the water, I like it very much, and my brother likes it too, haha!" Princess Taiping became more and more proud, obviously, deliberately making fun of Xiaohan.
"Hehe, I'm, it's not my sister who cultivated it, you little thing, tell me, how many wives have you caught for me? Let's just say that most of the beauties on this boat are also caught by you, except for Meng'er and Mei'er!" Xiao Han said, swallowing his saliva unconsciously, and his eyes looked straight at Lin Xuemei.
When Princess Taiping saw this, she laughed: "Do you want to play with Sister Mei'er again?" Haha, don't worry, this ship is very safe, those sailors don't dare to enter the cabin, even if we want to go up to drink, they don't dare to take a look, brother can have a carnival! Hehe, brother, don't have any worries, let's have fun immediately, Emperor Yang of Sui made the Grand Canal, he doesn't have the ability to enjoy it himself, let's enjoy it for him, this is not in vain for him to build the Grand Canal!"
"My sister really wins my heart, haha, then let's stay on the canal for half a month, even, a month! We are not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if we arrive in Yangzhou in half a year!" Xiao Han smiled proudly.
Princess Taiping listened to it and was not happy: "Brother, this Yangzhou matter has to be hurried, we have to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible, hehe, the most important thing is that our little prince must be born in Taiping Town, this is a big deal, brother can't care less! Otherwise, my sister will definitely spank you, haha!"
"Hehe, sister, don't worry, let's be measured, you're only five months now, let's go to Yangzhou for two months at most, let's go to Taiping Town immediately after returning to Chang'an, and I promise that we won't miss our big event! I still want to be the king of freedom, I can't let these worldly things interfere with our normal pleasure time! Haha, Mei'er, you calculate the time clearly, so as not to worry about Taiping!" Xiao Han smiled proudly.
When Lin Xuemei heard this, she was happy: "Yes, Sister Taiping, don't worry, we will calculate the time to ensure that our little prince is born in Taiping Town, hehe, this is the common wish of all of us! By the way, Xin'er, do they have any news from your brother today? Are they at the next station?"
"Sister Mei'er, my brother's news hasn't come yet, but there is news from this Sword Palace, I heard, hehe, Sister Yun'er gave birth to a little county lord for our brother Han, and when the little county lord is full moon, she will bring it to Chang'an!"
Princess Taiping heard this and smiled: "Little girl, don't you tell me such good news earlier?" haha, brother, this little county lord is not bad, I think it's very good! Hehe, did you have a name? Don't it be a little snow, big snow or something like that!"
When I heard this, I was happy, and said with a smile: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the current name of our little county lord is 'Xiaoxue', I heard that Xiaoxue was born on the same day, so our sister Yun'er will call her Xiaoxue!
Lin Xuemei's eyes also looked at Xiao Han, and she was also worried in her heart, for fear that Xiao Han would not like it.
When Xiao Han heard this, he laughed: "Hehe, I like it very much, what's wrong with this Xiaoxue?" Hehe, it's very good, I like it very much, Mei'er, you tell Yun'er, when Xiaoxue is full moon, they will be in Chang'an, hehe, when the time comes, the three of you sisters will wait for me together! Hehe, I should also accept this little girl, haha, I want to be happier than the three of you?"
Lin Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Yes, the slave knows, then let's ask Sister Taiping to be the referee and let her compare, hehe, Han'er alone doesn't count!"
"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, all the beauties burst out laughing.
