what?

Li Shimin's face darkened, so you can still blow it?

172, The real horror of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty (ask for a monthly ticket!)

Li Shimin's nose could be crooked with anger. Emperor Sui Yang's gaze was different from that of later generations. Doesn't that mean that he was wrong?

Are you still blowing wool?

Eternal second:

"Come, come, explain to me!"

"I think you can name a flower?"

Zhu Di also scratched his head, feeling that what Chen Tong said was a bit mysterious.

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"Yeah, I really want to know too."

"Why do you like to brag about Emperor Sui Yang so much?"

"Don't you just like to reverse the case for the emperor?"

In the chat group, the emperors from all parallel time and space were all attentive. They also wanted to know, why did Chen Tong brag about Emperor Sui Yang so much?

Chen Tong nodded, does this need to be blown, I just let you know what the Sui Dynasty Grand Canal was used for, and you will understand.

Chen Tong:

"Why did the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty have to be built in a herringbone shape instead of a straight shape like the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal? That is because Emperor Sui Yang not only wanted to solve the problem of confrontation between the north and the south, but also the problem of the separation of the east and the west."

"The Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty seemed to stretch out two hands from Luoyang, one grasping towards the northeast and the other towards the southeast."

"What's even more frightening is that in the rear, through the Yellow River channel and its tributaries, as well as the Guangtong Canal, it bypasses the natural barrier of the Sanmenxia Gorge on the Yellow River and connects to the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River. Like a sharp sword, it penetrates straight into the Northwest."

"It can be said that the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty connected the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River through river transportation. Like the high-speed rail network, it firmly stitched together the territory of Yanhuang, the four directions of southeast, northwest, and all rivers with the Grand Canal. .”

"It not only broke down the north-south barrier, but also broke down the east-west barrier."

"This is the long-term vision and the grand pattern."

"Moreover, the Grand Canal of the later generations adopted the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, and more than half of the river channels were built in a straight line for faster north-south smoothness."

"However, if you want to send troops and trade to the western regions such as Guanzhong, you must use the Grand Canal channel of Emperor Sui Yang."

"Emperor Sui Yang's Grand Canal is unobstructed from north to south, taking into account both east and west. It has a grand layout and a long-term vision. It has been used by all dynasties. Isn't this a meritorious service?"

In the chat group, the emperors of all parallel time and space were extremely shocked.

Cao Cao's scalp felt numb, and he was pacing excitedly in his study, with blood burning in his heart.

Friends of wives:

"Great talent, absolutely great talent!"

"Emperor Sui Yang not only thought of the smooth flow of the north and the south, but also the separation of the east and west. The pattern of building the Grand Canal is really magnificent."

"It is not an exaggeration to say that his structure is comparable to Emperor Qin's."

"Even Emperor Wu of Han, probably not as crazy as Emperor Yang of Sui!"

"This is for one person to do all the things that future generations should do."

Zhu Di was even more shocked.

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"In this way, I fully understand why the Yuan Dynasty changed the course of the Grand Canal."

"They want to strengthen their control over the South. The Northwest is their own stronghold. Those who have lost their minds started the rebellion from the West."

"I'll go, everything that happened in history has a story!"

"No one is a fool. Of course, Zhu Yunwen is like this. I guess Zhu Di has spent all his luck in his life."

Heart of the Phantom Sea:

"It seems that we still know too little about Emperor Sui Yang."

"The Tang Dynasty made Emperor Sui Yang black, which is too miserable."

Wu Zetian, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, said that he couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Shimin's face was ugly, but he had no way to refute it, because the pattern of Emperor Sui Yang's construction of the Grand Canal was indeed irreproachable.

Its control of the four directions of east, west, north, south, can be said to eliminate the influence of the region to the greatest extent.

As Chen Tong said, this has achieved regional unification.

Just like a tinkerer, he sewed together the huge territory of Yanhuang stitch by stitch.

Whoever wants to support his own self-respect and segregate the feudal town will be run over by the wheels of the great unification.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, he couldn't admit defeat like this.

Eternal second:

"No matter how well you blow up Emperor Sui Yang's Grand Canal, it can't make up for it. Emperor Sui Yang, building the Grand Canal is the contemporary sin!"

"How many people died during the construction of the Grand Canal? According to historical records, 250 million people died."

Everyone's eyes were fixed, especially Zhu Di.

It can be said that Emperor Sui Yang was a super tyrant in contemporary times, and this is unanimously said in history books.

He will see what Chen Tong has to say when the time comes.

Chen Tong couldn't help but sneered.

Chen Tong

"The construction of the Grand Canal killed 250 million people?"

"Do you believe it?"

"You must know that in historical books such as Zizhi Tongjian, many records about Emperor Sui Yang are not from real historical materials, but from notes, such as Kaihe Ji, Sui Yangdi's Amorous History and other kitsch."

"In this case, even Emperor Yang of Sui can't tell whether he is the King of Chen or the King of Jin. Do you dare to believe it?"

"All these can be used as historical materials? Write history, why don't you be so casual?"

"I just asked, Emperor Sui Yang's construction of the Grand Canal really caused the people to live in poverty, should his population be greatly reduced?"

"After all, 250 million people died, which is not considered disabled. This makes many families unable to have children. Doesn't it cause negative population growth?"

"Moreover, Emperor Sui Yang not only built the Grand Canal, but also built Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the Great Wall at the same time. Three major projects were launched at the same time. Do the math, how many people will die?"

"Without male labor, how many families will have no food and clothing? How many people will die under the rule of the brutal Sui Yang Emperor?"

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, this is really an infrastructure maniac!

Friends of wives:

"Based on this calculation, if the canal is added, more than 350 million people will die no matter what."

"This man dies a lot, how can he have children?"

"This busy, exhausting Cao Cao, he can't help."

"According to this calculation, during the reign of Emperor Sui Yang, the population should have dropped by one-tenth, and the number of people who died directly was less than 70 households!"

"This indirect calculation, such a cruel Sui Yang Emperor, did not care about the people, he would have to die like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, half of his household registration book."

At this moment, Li Shimin's expression became ugly.

Where did he hear this number from Zhu Di, wouldn't all future generations recognize it?

There was a sneer on the corner of Chen Tong's mouth. People after the Sui Dynasty really hated Emperor Sui Yang to death, and they all used colored ones as historical materials, which shows how terrible it is.

Chen Tong:

"In fact, it's just the opposite! Not only did half of the household registration book not die, but the population has also exploded."

"When Emperor Sui Yang took over from his father, the peak population was only 870 million households. After a short period of five years, by the fifth year of Daye, the population of Sui Dynasty had increased to 890 million households."

"I just asked, such a brutal Sui Yang Emperor, why did his population increase instead of decrease?"

"20 households means 100 million more people."

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only killed more than 20 soldiers by fighting the Xiongnu, but it caused a negative growth of one-tenth of the population, and half of the household registration book disappeared."

"Look at Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Three major projects were launched at the same time. Why didn't his population regress, but instead increased dramatically?"

"I asked, how did you calculate the 250 million people who died in the Grand Canal?"

"Then according to this calculation, how many people should die if they repaired the Great Wall and the East?"

"Even more bizarre and unthinkable things happened. So many people died, countless people were disabled, it was a waste of people and money, and they couldn't be reunited with their wives. It's just outrageous, and grief is everywhere."

"How did Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty increase the population to 890 million households in just five years, reaching a peak of 4600 million people?"

"You know, at that time, the people were in dire straits!"

"Could it be that the tyrant is just letting the population skyrocket?"

Immediately, everyone in the chat group was dumbfounded. This is simply too unreasonable. The people who agreed to live in dire straits?

What about the sharp drop in population?

Is population growth the reference indicator for tyrants?

The faster it grows, the more brutal it is?

Zhu Di couldn't help taking a breath: This is really cruel!

173. The more people build the Grand Canal, Yang Guang will not be cruel (ask for a monthly ticket!)

In the chat group, everyone felt that their views had been subverted. Yes, they were confused by the people who blackmailed Emperor Sui Yang.
