The video connects all worlds, and the top ten emperors are edited at the beginning

Even the emperor himself is subject to the constraints of the Guanlong Group.

Yang Guang does not want to be restricted by anyone, and the Guanlong Group is the political foundation for him to rule the country, so it is impossible to clean it up directly.

Therefore, the most direct way is to move.

Chang'an is the core of the Guanlong Group, but Luoyang is not.

In order to build Luoyang City, Yang Guangda recruited people's power on a large scale.

The entire Luoyang New City took ten months to complete.

The total number of people involved in the construction of Luoyang City has been maintained at 200 million for a long time, and they are rotated every month.

If it is assumed that each person will only serve one month of hard labor, the total number of people who built Luoyang City will reach 2000 million.

This is just Luoyang.

In addition to Luoyang New City, Yang Guang also built large palaces such as Xianren Palace, Jiangdu Palace, Linjiang Palace, Jinyang Palace, and Xiyuan in order to facilitate his inspections and have a place to live.

In addition, Yang Guang went to Yangzhou several times for inspections, and every time he went on inspections, he also needed to consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

Therefore, this incident alone was enough for Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to lose all of his family fortune that he had worked so hard to accumulate for more than 20 years.

The most terrible thing is that this is only the first thing.

The second thing is to build the Grand Canal.

Objectively speaking, the penetration of the Grand Canal is indeed of great significance to the entire Chinese civilization.

After the Grand Canal is completed, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River can be directly connected to Guanzhong.

The entire Central Plains region can basically be connected by waterways.

The role of this Grand Canal is equivalent to today's high-speed railway, a railway that runs through the country from north to south, and divides the country into several sections, completely connecting it into a railway network.

Yang Guang's vision is actually quite good, seeing the huge benefits that the Grand Canal can bring.

But the problem is that he overlooked a very critical issue.

How much manpower will it take to build the Grand Canal?

In order to complete this super project, Yang Guang consumed much more national power than the first task.

Chapter 61

The third thing is to conquer Goguryeo.

The conquest of Goguryeo was also a very important matter for the Sui Dynasty.

At the time of the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo was an extremely powerful regime in the north, occupying the entire Northeast today, plus the Korean Peninsula, and a large area further north.

For the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo was more troublesome than the Turks.

Because the Turks are just simple nomads, the most difficult thing is the cavalry.

To deal with the Turks, the Sui Dynasty only needed to establish a powerful cavalry corps.

But Goguryeo is different.

In addition to being good at riding and shooting, Goguryeo also learned a very complete system of fortification from the Central Plains.

Every time they occupy a place, they build cities and build fortresses there, step by step, and expand their territory step by step.

Turkic is to leave after fighting, not occupying territory.

And Goguryeo not only occupies a lot of land, but it is also very difficult to regain the lost land, because you have to slowly dismantle one fortress after another.

In the seven years of the great cause, Yang Guang recruited more than 100 million soldiers and more than 200 million civilian husbands. This is basically equivalent to a war of overwhelming the country.

As a result, this war was defeated because of Yang Guang's improper command.

Instead of conquering Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty itself killed tens of thousands of people in battle.

The conquest of Goguryeo made it impossible for the common people who had already been forced to die.

Therefore, in this year, Wang Bo, a native of Shandong, rose up and started the wave of uprisings at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Faced with such a situation, Yang Guang still refused to give up.

In the second year, he once again mobilized the soldiers of the whole country to attack Goguryeo.

As a result, as soon as the fighting started in front, Yang Xuangan, who was in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and grass behind him, launched a rebellion.

Yang Xuangan is the son of Yang Su who helped protect Yang Guang in the past. Yang Su is dead at this time, but his contacts in the court are still there, and they are all inherited by Yang Xuangan.

In order to deal with Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang had to withdraw his troops again and deal with Yang Xuangan first.

In the end, Yang Xuangan was suppressed.

After Yang Xuangan was suppressed, another year passed, and Yang Guang still did not give up conquering Goguryeo.

For the third time, the soldiers of the whole country were raised to go north.

But this time the crusade was even more thunderous and rainy.

Because at this time, within the Sui Dynasty, wars were raging everywhere, and peasant uprisings were everywhere.

So in the end, Yang Guang had to negotiate peace with Goguryeo and retreat.

In this way, Goguryeo was conquered three times, and Goguryeo was no big deal, but the Sui Dynasty suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, during the conquest of Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty lost a large number of elites.

This also laid the groundwork for the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

The combination of these three things has already made Yang Guang's throne unsafe.

What's more terrible is that after Yang Guang came to the throne, he also creatively proposed the imperial examination system.

One more thing to say here is that the imperial examination system proposed by Yang Guang and the imperial examination system we are familiar with later are actually two completely different concepts.

The imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty was actually in the transitional stage between the imperial examination system and the examination system.

Not everyone is eligible to take the exam, only those who are recommended by the local area are eligible to take the exam.

However, even so, the imperial examination system still broke the monopoly of aristocratic families on the selection of officials and talents in the previous hundreds of years.

Those aristocratic families were not stupid. Seeing that the power in their hands was gone, they naturally opposed Yang Guang from the bottom of their hearts.
