Historically, after the fall of the bad guy, all his measures were bad, after Yang Guang was finished, the Li family naturally tried a way to slander this person, no matter what he did was right or wrong, he had to say that it was stinky, otherwise how could he prove the correctness of the Li family's army.

The Grand Canal, the people's grievances are great, the consensus in the world is that Yang Guang in order to go to Yangzhou to see the flowers, so he ordered the construction of the canal, some people also listed all kinds of examples of the construction of the canal, proving that this kind of inconsiderate project is only a waste of money and money, and even a ruin of the country.

In this regard, Wu Yuan naturally scoffed, presumably Li Xiuning and Shi Zhixuan were also very aware of this, but ordinary people, including most people in Shilin, would think that the construction of the Grand Canal should not be done at all.

"There is a businessman in the West who once said that the most profitable industry is to build cards on official roads to collect money, and where does this money come from? Why do people pay willingly, because this river will bring more money to countless people.

And today's Grand Canal is a river flowing with gold, after a hundred years and thousands of years, people will benefit from this river, and there will be no repetition of the old things of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the past, but Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was too eager, if his means were more clever, this matter alone would be enough to be called Mingjun. ”

"So, is there any benefit to building the Grand Canal?"

Changsun Chong only felt that this matter was extremely ridiculous, such as the excavation of the Grand Canal in the corporal forest today, as a negative example to refute it, this person actually said that the excavation of the Grand Canal is very good.

"Mr. Wang, you are a painting boat. Isn't there a lot of people who say it's useless? Waste of money. And ruined reputation?"

Wu Yuan's gaze fell on Wang Tong's body, this great Confucian possessed this thing, which would naturally attract criticism.

Wang Tong didn't answer, just smiled.

Mr. Wang was worth a lot of money, so he took out a large sum of money and asked craftsmen to build this boat, and there were shipwrights and cooks in the middle. There are people in Luoyang City who can make a living by providing food, utensils, etc., that is to say, this boat feeds hundreds of people, and Mr. Wang, through Guò this boat attracted some scholars and got what he wanted, if he wanted to make money, then more gold and silver fell into the hands of Mr. Wang, and between this back and forth, Mr. Wang benefited. More civilians benefit, please. How can this be said to be a cost of money?

Money is only money when it flows, and it can produce benefits, and like Su Chen of the Han Dynasty, it can only be said that the court princes have too narrow vision and don't know how to govern the world. The same money, different uses, will produce different effects, and the construction of rivers is a good deed.

It's a pity that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty didn't know how to run this matter, and the princes of the imperial court ......"

Wu Yuan's gaze swept over the middle-aged man, Shi Zhixuan was also in the court.

"It's also a bunch of straw bales, which was originally a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but it has become a big project for the country, which is a pity. ”

Wu Yuan's map cannon didn't make Shi Zhixuan's face look different, but Shi Qingxuan nodded slightly.

"Nonsense, the Grand Canal, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars and countless deaths, has become a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people in your mouth?"

Changsun Chong still scoffed at Wu Yuan, and the people around him said that if the Grand Canal was not built, the Sui Dynasty might not have perished.

"If there is no benefit to the construction of the Grand Canal, how can the princes of the imperial court approve of it?

This kind of big project, just like a person exercising, was very tiring at the time, and the loss of time was great, but it could make the country's wealth circulate and the national strength stronger. It's just that Emperor Yang of Sui didn't grasp that degree well and was tired to death.

Eldest Sun Chong, you are confused, but don't lose the face of Eldest Sun Wuji, you can go back and repeat what I said tonight to your father, and see what he said!"

Wu Yuan's last sentence was already said with a smile. encountering such a pig opponent keeps making him brush up his reputation, in this case, he can only give thirty-two likes to this person in his heart.

"And what about the population boom, sir?"

Shi Qingxuan asked softly, with an indescribable taste in her voice.

"The girl can look at the chessboard, if you put one grain of rice in the first square, two grains in the second square, and four grains in the third square, double each row, and see how many grains of rice there will be after nineteen rows. Then ask the girl to multiply the current population of Datang by this algorithm, if the population of each generation of Datang doubles, see how many generations later, the land of Datang will be occupied, and then even if Yao Shun is resurrected, full of virtuous ministers, what can it be? ”

The woman listened to Wu Yuan's words, and quickly calculated the answer in her heart, that terrifying number made her silent for a long time, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she only saluted Wu Yuan and stopped speaking.

After eight generations, the world will be in turmoil, the dynasty will turn from prosperity to decline, and the number of deaths will far exceed that at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"Mr. Wu, what about the level solidification?"

Li Xiuning was obviously listening carefully to Wu Yuan's words, and her voice was very respectful.

"Juxiu Cai doesn't know books, and his filial piety and honest father don't live. Hansu is as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken...... The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is no longer suitable for the Tang Dynasty, I think Princess Pingyang should also think about it, the death of the previous dynasty, a big reason is that the officials are from the major families, and when the family rises up, the officials and generals in the world are naturally from the clouds, and the previous dynasty collapsed like a snow-capped mountain.

It's funny to say, the Yang family is also aware of this, so they created the imperial examination system, but unfortunately it is this point that is alienated from the family, but today's imperial court will also carry forward the imperial examination system, which is to avoid the solidification of rank, but unfortunately it is not good enough, and there are many drawbacks. ”

Facing these people in front of him, Wu Yuan didn't have stage fright at all, because when a person stood on the shoulders of giants, he naturally saw higher and farther.

"If you say it well, you know all kinds of big truths, but who knows what it will look like when you actually put it into practice. ”

Changsun Chong squeezed out such a sentence hatefully, he had calculated the number Wu Yuan said in his heart just now, and knew that tonight, he had too many gaffes, Wu Yuan was not a straw bag, but he was like a straw bag in front of him.

"Yes, the devil is in the details, the big truth is easy to say, but it is difficult to actually implement, if Yang Guang sold the various sections of the Grand Canal to the wealthy merchants of the major families to operate, let them pay for the construction, and then collect taxes together, why would the treasury be empty.

The three expeditions to Goryeo are completely unnecessary, just send troops on the border between the two countries, and every time the autumn sowing and autumn harvest, they will ride fast horses, burn their fertile fields, and kill their people, and within 20 years, their country will perish. This is the strategy of the Xiongnu against the Han family in the past, and it happened to be used on Goguryeo, why not?

If you want to solve the problem of population explosion, it is even easier to ...... to solve it."

In the first two examples, Wu Yuan said lightly, but Li Xiuning and Shi Zhixuan, who listened to it, were shocked in their hearts.

As people standing at the highest level in this world, how could they not study these two things? The method that Wu Yuan said was not only feasible, but also very feasible.

And the last question, the solution to the population explosion that Wu Yuan said, made the two of them raise their spirits, and wanted to hear how he solved it, but Wu Yuan stopped talking at this important juncture.

"Say it!"

Li Xiuning almost said such a sentence, but Wu Yuan just sat there leisurely.

"Mr. Wu, may I advise on how to resolve this matter?"

Wang Tong came to Wu Yuan and saluted respectfully, although he didn't agree with what Wu Yuan said just now, but he knew that the person in front of him had real talent and real learning. What this person said just now is right, after seven or eight generations, the population will surge to the point that the whole country cannot bear it, and when the time comes, it will naturally be a great chaos in the world.

"I was bragging about not having a solution to this. ”

Wu Yuan naturally wouldn't give an answer, this thing was what he used to fish, fishing for Shi Qingxuan, Shi Zhixuan, Li Xiuning, and even the hook of today's son.

"It's getting late today, and the lady of the monk is still waiting for me on the boat, so I will say goodbye and talk about it again in the future. ”

Smiled apologetically at everyone present, Wu Yuan bowed, and wanted to leave, but when he saw a figure flashing in front of him, Li Xiuning blocked in front of him.

Princess Pingyang's face was like a hibiscus, her face was a little red, and she didn't know if she was angry with Wu Yuan or in a hurry.

"Sir, if my brother learns about it, he will be overjoyed and greet him, so it is better to stay here tonight......"

How could Li Xiuning not be excited? The question of the fall of the Sui Dynasty was only a test in itself, and he did not expect Wu Yuan to answer well, as long as this person answered smoothly and steadily, then he could recommend it to the second brother.

At the beginning of the world, the second brother found himself in the same predicament as Yang Jian and Yang Guang, that is, how to weaken the family and suppress Goryeo.

These two things, she and the second brother discussed many times, the former felt that the imperial examination system was used, and the latter was still making a decision, and it was used to ask Wu Yuan today, and this person gave such an excellent answer - of course, the devil is in the details, and it takes a lot of effort to really implement it, and he will not necessarily adopt Wu Yuan's plan, but his answer, even if it is a plot in the court, is nothing more than that.

And the last question about population, this man actually said that he had a solution?

You know, it's not that no one has considered such a problem, but no one can come up with a suitable solution, but Wu Yuan's tone is so relaxed!

If this person didn't talk nonsense, he would be a national warrior even more powerful than Shi Zhixuan!

In such a situation, how could she let him go? Even though she knew that he might be moving forward and retreating, she had to show great enthusiasm.

However, when her eyes swept over Wu Yuan, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she seemed to understand something. (To be continued......)
