Chapter 0018 Let's start with Sui Yangdi
So fine salt, at this time, salt was more precious than anything else.
What's more, such fine salt.
Chu Sheng gave it with four bags.
It really unexpectedly happened to Li Shimin and others.
"Young Master Chu, thank you for giving me."
"Today's ritual is too expensive, Lao Li remembers it in his heart."
"Since I'm a friend, why are you doing politely with me? Isn't it just a few bags of salt? As for this?"
"Hurry up and put it away, let's drink and eat."
Seeing Chu Sheng so grand.
Li Shimin was so happy. It turned out that immortals also like to make friends.
For a moment, the wine table was filled with joy and laughter.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Shimin gently touched Prime Minister Fang Xuanling with his feet.
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling is waiting for His Majesty's kick.
So he cleared his throat immediately.
"Mr. Chu, I just heard what Mr. Chu said, every sentence is a great truth. Old house admires it very much."
"I wonder what Master Chu thinks of His Majesty today?"
Fang Xuanling's voice fell.
Li Shimin became nervous.
It’s like a student who didn’t get a good exam, waiting for the teacher to review the exam papers.
Chu Sheng had already confirmed from the two girls last night that it was the seventh year of Zhenguan.
There is no doubt that His Majesty is Li Shimin today.
I heard what the old house said.
Chu Sheng put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Take out the cigarette and continue lit one by yourself.
"Old house, it's a great sin to be a child in private."
"If this is heard by Your Majesty, we will not be able to take it."
"Young Master Chu is so serious. We are just a few businessmen. Now Your Majesty is an open-minded person."
"Even if he knows that a few of us businessmen are talking about him, at most they just laugh it off."
Li Shimin quickly gave the old house a sloppy eye.
"Old Li, it seems you all want to hear my opinion?"
Chu Sheng spitted a puff of smoke and slowly created his image as an expert.
"I want to hear, I want to hear, we want to hear too much."
"A lot of what Mr. Chu said just now made me suddenly happy."
"I would like to ask Mr. Chu to tell me your own opinion."
Li Shimin bowed and said.
Now Li Shimin's eager hope is to get Chu Sheng's evaluation.
If the evaluation is good, I will naturally be happy.
If there are any shortcomings, you can correct them immediately.
As long as the Tang Dynasty can be built and the people can live a better life, there is no big deal.
"Since that's the case, let's start with Emperor Yang of Sui."
Chu Sheng's words stunned Li Shimin and others.
Fang Xuanling was obviously asking why he talked about Emperor Yang of Sui.
But since it was Mr. Chu, I would start with Emperor Yang of Sui.
Li Shimin and others were also happy to listen for a while.
So Li Shimin stood up and poured wine for Chu Sheng.
Cheng Yaojin, this stupid guy, is not really stupid.
Seeing this, he took His Majesty's wine glass and carefully filled Chu Sheng with wine.
Chu Sheng thought to himself, is this right? He knows how to get on the road.
I want to listen to my story, but I don’t pour wine. I really think I will tell you a few of you in vain.
Chu Sheng took a sip of wine.
Moisturize your throat.
"Emperor Yang of Sui is actually an emperor with vision and great contributions."
As soon as Chu Sheng spoke, Li Shimin and others were stunned.
Why is this even praised? Emperor Yang of Sui, who has been dead for more than ten years, has come?
Chu Sheng ignored the shock of the four people and continued to speak according to his own ideas.
He is in a state of interest now, and even if you don't let him talk, it will probably be difficult for him to block his mouth.
"It is said that he has vision and great contributions. Only from these three things can you tell the truth."
"First, build the Grand Canal."
"Second, go to Goguryeo."
"Third, implement the imperial examination system."
"Let me talk about the Grand Canal first. Lao Li and you guys are all businessmen."
"This Grand Canal extends from north to Zhuojun and south to Yuhang. This route is not to mention anything else, but for merchants, it is simply a fortune tree."
"The scarce supplies in the south are often flooded in the north. The scarce supplies in the north are often cloudy in the south."
"I don't need to explain the benefits of Lao Li in detail as soon as the north and south are connected to the north and south?"
When Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling heard this, their eyes shone.
It was so high that the value of the Grand Canal was analyzed thoroughly and meticulously in just a few words.
It wasn't over yet, Chu Sheng continued to speak.
"Don't think that the Grand Canal is just a business road."
"It can also be used as a military strategy."
"As long as we have heavy troops to guard the Grand Canal, Jiangnan will not dare to rebel easily even if it is far from the capital Chang'an."
"Imagine that as soon as the news of the rebellion came out, the army could arrive from Zhuo County to Yuhang."
"And there is a lot of grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Grand Canal can quickly transfer the grain in the south of the Yangtze River to Zhuo County."
"Then turn from Zhuo County to Chang'an. If there is no Grand Canal, use a carriage to carry it with a load."
"I guess it's not that I have arrived in Chang'an City, and the food has been eaten up by the laborers who have transported it."
“················"
Chu Sheng's words almost made Li Shimin slap the table.
It's amazing, it's really wonderful.
After returning to the palace, you must arrange this matter immediately.
You must not delay it.
"Although Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal for his own travel and enjoyment."
"But this great achievement should still be remembered on him."
Li Shimin nodded vigorously when he heard this.
Today is a lot of rewards.
"After talking about the Grand Canal, let's talk about the expedition to Goguryeo."
"Old Li, you will definitely say, what's there to talk about?"
"Emperor Yang of Sui went to Goguryeo three times, and he returned home in great defeat."
"To be honest, people who say such words are all people with superficial knowledge and no brains."
Chu Sheng's words made Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and even Cheng Yaojin blush.
Coincidentally, these four people have said this.
Because Emperor Yang of Sui was indeed too annoying, so many large armies could not conquer a small Goguryeo.
And it was three expeditions that cost the people and the money.
"Why do people who say such words have superficial knowledge and can't speak in their brains?"
"You guys, listen to me and say it slowly."
Chu Sheng threw the cigarette butt in his hand and continued to lit a cigarette.
Chu Sheng, the four others, did not need to let the cigarette at all.
Even if they are allowed to suck, why waste their spiritual food?
"Young Master Chu, we are willing to hear the details."
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling is now completely convinced.
The very unique insights about Chu Sheng's insights are admirable.
I thought I was already an extremely smart person, but I was far behind Mr. Chu in front of me.
"Yes, Mr. Chu, we are willing to hear the details."
Chapter completed!
