The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

When the ministers heard this, they were astonished.

Now that the Sui Dynasty has just opened up its territory and expanded its territory, the emperor wants to connect the north and the south, and now the Great Sui Treasury, the Manchu Dynasty has a good idea of it, not to mention the lack of supply in a big war, it is such a big project is needed, and it is incomparably huge and cannot afford it.

"Wonderful, the north and south run through, can be Lingnan's delicacies and preserved fruits in a few days to the north of Beijing, this canal dug out, I Dasui everywhere must be more convenient. "

Wang Anshi glanced at it, then hit the armrest, clapping his hands and applauding.

Hearing that Wang Anshi finished speaking, everyone immediately abandoned the matter of not having enough money and food in their hearts, and began to observe carefully from the canal itself.

Soon everyone found that the location of this line, starting from Yuhang in the south, to Zhuojun Shangjing in the north, passing through the four provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and Tianjin, Beijing, through the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, the Qiantang River five major water systems, since it is very convenient, once completed, the economic and cultural development and exchanges between the north and the south, especially the development of the industrial and agricultural economy along the line will play a huge role.

At the same time, although the reform and reform have eliminated several large families, the small families, either hidden or turtle breath, have not subsided, and they still have land, money, grain, gold and silver in their hands. Especially in the affluent Jiangnan region, there are many such people.

Once there is a big war in the Sui Dynasty, or even several countries are at war, these people who have no strong soldiers to govern, once the thief is not dead, it will inevitably become a big hidden danger for the Sui Dynasty.

The imperial court cannot suppress and arrest these people on trumped-up charges. If the construction of this Grand Canal can be completed, and the sharp contradictions with the Jiangnan region, they can always be suppressed and dare not come out to resist, and once they resist, they can immediately send troops from the north to the south to uproot these troublemakers.

In this way, the possible hidden dangers in the Jiangnan area can be completely solved, and there will be no worries.

At the same time, with this great river, it can also mobilize grain and grass from the rich Jiangnan to support the north, and fight against other great powers in the north.

The Sui Dynasty did not need to send a large number of troops to garrison the border, and at the same time, the troops in the north did not have to rely only on Tuntian to meet their own needs, but could completely rely on the food supply of Jianghuai and the Central Plains.

Once the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is excavated, it will be able to solve the north-south problem that the Sui Dynasty has not been able to solve for many years. While strengthening the rule of the Sui Dynasty, it was more able to communicate with each other and make the whole country stronger and more prosperous.

"Good, the river is good. "

Yao Chong is the most clear about the wealth of the north and the south, not to mention others, the cattle and sheep in the north are sky-high in the south, and the same silk tea in the south is also hard to find in the north.

There is only one reason, that is, the distance is long, and the business all the way has to avoid not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters.

Although banks are now opened, goods are still transported to various places. The robbers could not see the gold and silver, and the goods were back in their sights.

If you rob the best goods, you can also exchange a lot of gold and silver.

Such a high risk naturally increases the cost of transporting goods to various places, and it also makes more than a dozen catties of tea sold to the north, which costs a few taels of silver a catty, and a few taels of beef and mutton has increased several times.

There are all smart people here, and if you look closely, you can see that once this canal is completed, it can bring great benefits to the Great Sui.

The canal passes through Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and runs through the five major water systems of Haihe, Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River, and connects the north and south.

"It's good, it's good, but I can't fix it. "

The more I looked at it, the more I realized the benefits of this Grand Canal, and the ministers admired the road map designed by Yang Guang, but because of this, they felt deeply depressed.

The reality is here, and today's Great Sui has no way to build this great river that runs through the north and south.

Yang Guang did not just build a section as Emperor Yang of Sui did to facilitate the use of troops, but directly marked the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that was formed in later generations.

The cost of this great river is extraordinary.

If it is only to repair a section, it is still possible, but to directly dig out the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, now the Great Sui, really want to repair, after smashing the pot and selling iron, I am afraid that the country will also be turbulent because of the space.

Once other countries take advantage of the situation, I am afraid that there is a danger of destroying the country.

"Hey. . . "

As Yao Chong finally concluded, all the officials in the cabinet, including Wang Qi, sighed.

"Your Majesty, although the canal is good, it is not suitable for the current Great Sui, once the national strength of the Sui Dynasty hurts the foundation, the gains will outweigh the losses. At this time, I should also carry out in-depth reform and change the law, recuperate, and wait for the national strength to be full, and then dig the Grand Canal. "

Saying these words, Zhang Juzheng also looked regretful.

If there is no war with the Southern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that within two years of recuperation, I will definitely be able to start the excavation and construction of the canal, but now, I am afraid that I will have to wait for two more years.

"Zhong Aiqing, don't be so frustrated, let's discuss it and see if we can think of something else. "

These days, Yang Guang has also thought of a lot of plans, but they have all been vetoed by himself.

Now that I heard what Wang Anshi said, Jiangnan preserved fruit is Wang Anshi's favorite sun-dried snack, and my heart moved, and a flash of inspiration flashed.

It's just that the aura disappeared too quickly, and Zhong Aiqing looked surprised and annoyed.

Let Yang Guang forget about it, but he believes that there must be a way.

"To dig a canal, the manpower and material resources are, in the final analysis, money. There is not enough money in the treasury, where can there be a way. "

Seeing that there was no way to achieve such a good Grand Canal in a short period of time, Wang Qi was annoyed.

"Can I borrow money from another country?"

Zhang Yi is also helpless about this, but he is not so easy to admit defeat.

Since I don't have one, I'll borrow it.

It is so with man, and if a nation wants to use money, it can do the same.

"Borrow? Who will borrow, who dares to borrow, not to mention others, those countries, which do not need money for development, can they still lend you money, so that you cannot develop? "

"Between these countries, people are still afraid that we will pay our debts!"

"What's more, borrowing money from one country to another will bow his head, which is not comparable to a person, and his face will be gone. "

There are different opinions, and these ministers analyzed it, but in the end, it was still four big words: 'This road is not passable'.

"Your Majesty, this matter should be postponed, wait a few more years, no, three years at most, three years later, our Da Sui will immediately start digging this Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. "

Yao Chong was helpless, but he also knew that he must not hurt the national strength now.
