Li Miao and his group did not stop much in Jinling City. They rented a large cargo ship and loaded a large number of sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, wheat, tea, spices, etc. needed from the north. Yang Fan entered Beijing, and of course the goods were loaded in the dock warehouse.

, and leave a large number of Maoshan tea and spices for the operation of the Southern Bureau.

Now, except for the tea and spices loaded on the cargo ship, Li Miao has cleared all the inventory in the space and left it in the Jinling Wharf warehouse. It won’t take long to have a steady stream of spices and tea production in the space.

It is still necessary to leave sufficient supply to the Southern Bureau. In the future, it will provide sufficient financial support for the development of the Southern Bureau. Li Miao's purpose is to continuously strengthen his guardian power through commercial activities.

The guardian power is what he values ​​the most, but the guardian power cannot be separated from the support of business. Therefore, the best model is the common healthy development of commercial behavior and protection. And it is also low-key and unobtrusive.

Soon the ship passed through the Yangtze River from Jinling City to Yangzhou Prefecture. The river surface was wide and the river level was gentle. The wide river surface was more than ten or twenty miles wide. The narrow one was also more than ten miles wide. Li Miao couldn't help but open his mind, and the rolling Yangtze River flowed eastward.

Unfortunately, the water flows smoothly and has no rolling momentum, so the weather is not very suitable.

Entering the Grand Canal from Yangzhou Prefecture, the river surface is three or five miles wide. Because it is an artificial river, people can't help but think of Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty who was famous for thousands of years. This world is generally consistent with the history of later generations, but in this world it is

The Da Zheng Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty in later generations. The founding emperor of the Da Zheng Dynasty drove away the Mongolian Tartars and re-established the Han regime.

Although the Sui Dynasty and Qin Dynasty only died in the second lifetime, they left behind heavy pens and ink in later generations. They cannot be ignored and cannot be replaced.

The Qin Dynasty unified the writing and language because Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars, thus making China, which was similar to the European territory, only one language and text. After all foreign races invaded and occupied China, they had to choose assimilation and integrate themselves into China.

Barren enough to hold on.

You should know that Europe has dozens of national unifications? Why is there no unification? The unification of force has also appeared several times. The key is that the language is mixed and the writing is messy. You can't rule even if you occupy it. Therefore, Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars,

It seems to be a masterpiece.

Of course, Qin Shihuang's achievements were far more than these. The main achievements of Emperor Shihuang were that the same carriages were the same tracks, the same writings, the same ties, the same territory, and the same balance. Since then, the unified Chinese dynasty has become every Chinese

Human consensus has also become the ultimate goal of wise rulers of all generations.

Sometimes I often hear people say that Qin Shihuang is a tyrant. As a politician, Qin Shihuang can no longer be measured by character alone. If you use the moral standards of good or bad people to evaluate politicians, you will have already missed the question.

The royal family of the Sui Dynasty was actually also of the Yi tribe. Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, had one-quarter of the Yi tribe's blood, and the Qing Dynasty in later generations had to choose to be sinicized. Otherwise, such a large country would be really difficult to rule.

It is precisely because of the unification of writing and language that the wise monarchs of China regard unifying China as the ultimate task, which has prevented China from being divided into several or even more than a dozen countries. This is the achievements of Qin Shihuang. Regardless of later generations, later generations regard Qin Shihuang as a result, they will be regarded by later generations.

He is called a tyrant, but he cannot erase his great contribution to China.

The royal family of the Sui Dynasty itself was the Yi tribe. He took the initiative to complete the sinicization and finally ended the darkest and most chaotic period of China for hundreds of years. Unified China, and the last emperor Yang Guang also fought with his father and made great achievements in the founding of the Sui Dynasty.

.

During his reign, the Grand Canal was opened for nearly twenty years. The Grand Canal, which is more than 4,000 miles long, made China connect north and south. Although it was the momentum of the original river, the newly opened canal was not farther a thousand miles away.

There was also the dredging and widening of the original river channel. In that era when the river transport accounted for 90% of the transportation volume, he made great contributions. Without Yang Guang, there would be no capital city. All the materials in the capital city rely on the support of the canal transportation.

Any new dynasty will vilify the last emperor of the previous generation and promote the legal tradition of the new dynasty. This is the fact that there is no right or wrong in politics, and it is right to benefit his rule.

The Sui Dynasty created the imperial examination system, which allowed the feudal society to continue in China for hundreds of years. This was also the Sui Dynasty's contribution to the feudal society. Yang Guang may have been a little radical. He devoted his life to weakening the influence of aristocratic families in the court. Later, it was also

Overthrew by aristocratic families.

In fact, the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty was also due to weakening the influence of aristocratic families in the court. Before the Sui Dynasty, all those who were officials in the court were members of the aristocratic families or people they recognized, so that they could become officials in the court. Only aristocratic families had

Recommendation qualification.

The success of the king will defeat the enemy, so Yang Guang finally became a foolish monarch. Of course, if you can play a good hand like this, your level will be problematic.

Li Miao and his team of cargo ships went up the canal. They entered Shandong and crossed Hebei to Tongzhou through the Jianghuai River. What they saw and heard along the way made Li Miao feel depressed, the people along the way lived a difficult life and were scarce, the land was barren, and the grain output was low. This was even worse.

He made his determination to promote high-yield crops in the north.

After arriving in the capital, Li Miao would buy a farm and take the lead by planting high-yield crops that are adapted to the north, so as to achieve the effect of rapidly promoting northern crops. But it should not be too high-profile, and you should not do anything against your will. Be low-key and be ungrateful.

Written.

You should know that the miserable farmers Li Miao saw were relatively near the transportation hub, on both sides of the canal, or in a relatively wealthy area, you can imagine the lives of the people in remote areas.

The canal also breeds a huge creature, Cao Gang. Cao Gang has hundreds of thousands of gangs, most of whom are poor people, and their lives are not easy. They survive along the canal and survive. They rely on selling their strength to make a living. When they are formed,

After the gang, the power increased greatly, and the gang members of the Cao Gang were no longer bullied at will.

Now, even the imperial court dare not touch it easily. A pair of chopsticks was slightly broken, and ten pairs of chopsticks were firmly held together. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of pairs of chopsticks, plus hundreds of thousands of gang members.

Good! It may not be obvious in the years of peace. Once the situation is unstable, he will become a cancer and will deteriorate at any time.

If it is used by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable. Li Miao seemed to see that the Great Zheng Chao was in a storm. Li Miao thought to himself, if the Great Zheng Chao ignored such a serious problem, what was it doing? It would not be so serious.

No problem was discovered.

But if you say something wrong with the Cao Gang, in fact, most of the gang members just want to survive. Who doesn’t want to live a better life? Heaven and earth are unkind and treat everything as straw dogs. The strong survive, and the strong prey on the weak, that is,
