The second reason for entering the rankings was to build the Grand Canal! Make a great contribution!
This was a huge project that spanned more than 3,500 miles.
How big was the project? This Grand Canal connected the Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, and Qiantang River. It only took four years to complete!
And the price was also very high!
Yang Guang's face darkened." It's here. The criticism has finally arrived!”
The price was huge. There were more than five million people working for this project!
After the project was completed, 40% to 50% of the able-bodied men died of exhaustion, illness, or death!
What was the concept of five million people? During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the peak population was less than fifty million.
In other words, by the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, one-tenth of the people in the country were digging for this canal.
However, after the Grand Canal was opened, all the Chinese people in the past dynasties benefited!
For the first time, he had a true main artery for the north and south of China!
The prosperity of Beijing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou was all thanks to this river!
Once the inventory was out, the emperors all agreed with Emperor Yang's actions!
Ancestral Dragon: " The opening of the canal is a great undertaking that will benefit future generations!”
"But it also made the people of the world suffer!"”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: " Speaking of which, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was a little too eager for quick success. Four years is really too fast!”
Li Shiming found it hard to disagree." If we want to seize this opportunity to become the greatest emperor in history, we have to take things slow. What's wrong with digging for twenty years?"”
"It won't be a problem to dig for 30 years!"
Emperor Yang's general direction was right, but he was too anxious!”
Zhu Yuanzhang said,"It's a pity for the people of the current dynasty!" Their sacrifices were exchanged for the blessings of future generations! Here, we should thank the people of the Sui Dynasty.”
Zhu Di: " We will always remember their contributions. We will never forget them.”
……
The emperors sighed endlessly, their expressions complicated.
Compared to Qianlong and Zhao Gou, the only difference was that Yang Guang knew his limits!
In other words, the current Yang Guang knew that he had made these mistakes.
Looking back, if he had to walk the same path again…
Then Yang Guang would definitely not do such a waste of manpower and money.
The canal might still need to be built, but as Li Shimin said,"What can you get by digging for twenty years?”
"In the end, I was too anxious!"
And it was precisely because of this self-awareness that he was now ranked seventh.
Otherwise, he would have long been beaten by the heavens to the rank of an ancient fatuous ruler!
Reason 3
The continuation of the imperial examination system!
In the second year of Daye, Yang Guang established the imperial examination system!
This was an extremely important and far-reaching event in the history of China!
At the same time, Yang Guang also increased the number of people taking the imperial examinations, allowing people of insight to enter the imperial court!
……
Li Shi Min became even angrier.
"Actually, the imperial examination system was officially developed in our Great Tang!”
"The imperial examinations of the Sui Dynasty still require the recommendation of an official of the fifth rank and above.”
"That, Father, if there's no chicken, how can there be an egg…" Li Zhi whispered.
Li Shi Min's eyes widened." You unfilial son! Digging up your father in front of me?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare ~"
In fact, Li Shi Min and Li Zhi were right.
The imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty was not that perfect, and it was not that open.
In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system officially took shape and was carried forward. For the children of the poor, there was a way to climb up the social ladder.
However, it was just as Li Zhi had said. This was a common origin problem.
If the Great Tang hadn't built on the foundations of the Sui Dynasty, perhaps the imperial examination system wouldn't have been able to develop in the Great Tang.
Perhaps it would be a few years later.
There were no ifs in history. The Great Tang had taken advantage of the situation, and he had a share of the credit.
However, there was no problem for the literary giants to thank the Sui Emperor.
Immediately after, the inventory continued.
Reason for entering the list:
Anger the Wei Nation!
……
All the emperors were shocked.
"Hmm? Wei Nation? What dynasty was this? Who can explain to me?"
To Qin Shihuang, he had never heard of these terms that appeared in his later life. After all, they were all things that happened in his later life.
It was normal that he didn't know.
What made Ancestral Dragon feel strange was that this Heaven's Assessment actually used this country as a background board. This meant that something big must have happened!
Otherwise, why would he bring it out alone?
"I don't know. My descendants can come out and explain."”
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty: "I don't know about this country anyway.@ Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sun Zi, come out and explain."”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "I drew my sword and looked around at a loss.”
The tenth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun: "Don't look at me, I don't know either!"
At this moment, Liu Xiu stood out."
"Ancestors…I know."
"Wei Nation is the name I gave to that small island nation.”
"Yes, that's right."
"A small island country?" Could it be the primitive island country that I ordered Xu Fu to go to?”
"At that time, they couldn't even start a fire. They lived on tree bark and wild game. If Xu Fu had not taught them farming techniques, they would not even have had enough to eat.”
"I didn't expect it to evolve into a country.”
At this point, Xuantong felt even more hatred!
He clenched his fists tightly.
"Not only did he evolve into a country, but he also committed heinous crimes to the entire world!”
The Ancestral Dragon, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other emperors were instantly stunned!
"Heaven-toppling sin?" What do you mean?"
Qin Shihuang was the first to ask. After all, he really couldn't imagine what kind of evil things a primitive island country could do to the entire world.
Just as the future generations wanted to answer, they were afraid of revealing the secrets of heaven and being kicked out of the Sky Screen.
Therefore, for a moment, no one dared to say anything.
Actually, there was another reason. It was because the things that the Japanese had done could not be explained in a few days and nights!
How could the sins they had committed be explained with just a few bullet comments?
And now, the fourth reason for entering the rankings was to rage at the Wei Nation!
The emperors sat upright and held their breaths.
He wanted to see how big a storm this small island country wanted to stir up!
When Xuan Tong saw this, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
However, Li Shimin had the right to speak when he saw this.
"Wei Nation, wasn't it just a small country that had just risen during my Zhenguan years?”
"No cultural heritage."
"At that time, the Wei Nation overestimated themselves and fought a war with the Great Tang. In the end, they suffered a crushing defeat. In the end, they knelt down and began to curry favor with the Great Tang. I am also a tolerant person, so I naturally accepted it. I even sent them many cultures, customs, money, buildings, and so on for them to imitate.”
"During the Tang Dynasty, the Wei Nation was very obedient. Why would we offend them?”
Speaking of this, the few emperors at the end of the Qing Dynasty really bit their gums until they were about to bleed!
"@ Li Shimin, it's you!" Brothers, there are bad guys among the crowd!”
Guangxu: "@ Li Shimin, if we didn't help the Wei Nation develop technology, pass down their traditions, and strengthen their national strength, we wouldn't have half a day!”
"@ Li Shimin, the culprit is you!" There was a saying that Tang culture was in Japan.”
When Wang Mang heard this, he became even angrier.
"@ Li Shimin, do you know that Japan has copied the culture of the Great Tang from top to bottom and denied inheriting the culture of the Great Tang, saying that it is all their own culture?？？”
"There are even some Chinese who think that the architecture of the Tang Empire is Japanese and do not know the culture of the Tang Empire at all. Instead, they are familiar with Japanese culture and have a special liking for it?”
Ancestral Dragon: "@ WangMang, how do you know so much?”
"@ WangMang, how do you know so much?"”
Liu Xiu,[@ Loser (Note), how do you know so much?]”
"@ WangMang, how do you know so much?"”
Zhu Yuanzhang: [@ WangMang, who are you?]”
……
"What?" Li Shiming's eyes widened. The culture of the Great Tang has been copied?？？”
Li Zhi couldn't believe it either." They used to be a well-behaved country. How could they do such a dirty thing?"”
Wu Zetian: " I didn't want to interrupt when the emperors were talking.”
"But when it comes to the Wei Nation, I have to say that I was the one who gave them their names!”
"Before this, Japan was called the Wei Nation.”
"After hundreds of years of development, they learned more about the culture of the Central Plains. Only then did they understand that the word 'Japanese' is actually used to describe the short stature of their countrymen.”
"Thus, after I ascended the throne, the Wei Nation cried and begged me time and time again, wanting to change their names.”
"At first, I didn't care at all. What trivial matter does it need me to personally lead?”
"It's not as important as the political affairs in my own country, so I've been delaying it.”
"In the end, the Wei Nation really knelt down and wailed, begging me to change my name.”
"I thought they were too annoying, so I gave them the name 'Nihon'.”
"This time, the Wei Nation envoys were very happy. They knelt down and kowtowed, and were extremely happy. Only then did they return to their country.”
"I didn't expect that this name has been used for a thousand years.”
Ancestral Dragon was speechless.
Liu Bang was speechless.
Emperor Wen of Han was speechless.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was speechless.
Liu Xiu was speechless.
Zhao Kuangyin was speechless.
Zhu Yuanzhang: " I didn't expect you to be the one who gave Japan its name!”
Li Shi Min came back to his senses." No, I still find it hard to accept. How did my talent become the Emperor?"”
"Could it be that you killed me?"
Li Shi Min didn't take the usual path to ascend the throne, so he sat on the throne.
Therefore, after that incident, he was constantly on guard against others following suit and harming him or rebelling.
Now, something ridiculous had happened.
One of his talents had actually become an emperor.
Where did this go?
Even a novel wouldn't dare to make up such a story!
