Chapter 255 Rumors Are Spreading
After all, Xihezhou is a remote place. It takes a certain amount of time to radiate and affect the whole country when Yang Yichuan is doing here. Unlike in Beijing, where the capital issued an order to promote corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., it will be promoted quickly. At least Beijing, Tianzhou, and Huazhou, and Linzhou will be promoted soon. There is even Xuezhou, a bitter and cold place that makes the Dawei Dynasty very troubled.
However, with these crops, the food problem in Selangor has been solved. At that time, the exchange of potatoes and rice can allow more people across the country to eat full, which is definitely a good thing.
In Xihezhou, far from the prosperous area of the center of the Dawei Dynasty, everything is now thriving. However, in this hinterland of the country, several major measures have caused a sensation across the country. The construction of cement roads is now mainly to the Beiyuanzhou next to it. The construction of the Grand Canal mainly runs through the north and south.
Not only near the capital, but also Mozhou began to be built from south to north. Such two-way simultaneous progress will greatly increase the speed. Although the court negotiated the construction of the Grand Canal in this way, many court officials were opposed to it, and some unfavorable remarks have also been reported in private.
Some people say that the emperor's behavior was very similar to the tyrants in the past. There were emperors who built the Grand Canal before, but of course they only built part of it, and it was unfinished. After all, the time for building the canal was wrong. The dynasty was in turmoil and the method was to forcefully collect levies. Unlike now, the people who used money to recruit people, they also recruited those who did not farm.
"Your Majesty, some people have circulated among the people when they come in. It is said that your Majesty builds a canal because it is done by the tyrant. It is also said that your Majesty is the king of the country that has been destroyed."
Yang Tianci was not angry at all, but he knew that letting such news spread would be unfavorable to the Dawei Dynasty.
"I will leave this matter to the Secret Guard to investigate. Since it comes to the construction of the Grand Canal and the Ministry of Works, how is the current construction work?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, the construction of the Grand Canal has already been on track. However, I discovered the ancient canal built before and found that it seemed to be incorporated into this new canal. In this way, although it is different from the river channel previously expected, it can also be passed through and save a small amount of time. In this way, it is expected that the north and south can be connected in more than two years."
"Oh, the ancient canal?"
"It's Your Majesty, it's the canal that is only half built. It was forgotten because of the change of dynasties, and only part of this canal has been used."
"This matter will be done with your Ministry of Works."
"How are the cement roads and shipyards doing this?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, the construction of cement roads has been underway for a while. It is expected that this year it will be able to connect the cities of Beijing and Beiyuanzhou. As for shipbuilding, there is production every year, and there are more and more exchanges between Wangzhou and Linzhou. The goods in Wangzhou are very popular in Beijing, and many merchants also buy goods from Beijing to Wangzhou for sale."
"Yeah, do it well."
After Yang Tianci handled these things, there was nothing else to deal with. When he was free, Yang Tianci would also read some books left by Yang Yichuan. Now, Yang Tianci is reading a book about road traffic.
There are quite a few things here, and there is a map of the Dawei Dynasty, which is connected by some lines. According to Yang Yichuan, these lines represent this road. The road is the vein of a country, and at the center of this vein, it is the core of the Dawei Dynasty, Kyoto.
"It will take two years to connect the national context. This image will probably take next year and the year after," Yang Tianci sighed a lot, but as the emperor, Yang Tianci knew to come step by step.
Far from Mozhou, which is opposite to Kyoto, with Yang Tianhuai's cooperation, the Grand Canal was built from Mozhou to the north. Since Yang Tianhuai learned a lot about fruits from Yang Yichuan, Yang Tianhuai himself could eat more fruits and more fruits that could be delivered to other places to sell.
Yang Tianhuai watched the raw materials transported from Mozhou to Xihecheng every month, and the group of people who returned from Xihecheng also brought Yang Tianhuai a lot of goods given to Yang Yichuan by Yang Tianhuai.
"Well, it feels like I've gained a little weight not long after I returned to Mozhou." Yang Tianhuai was comfortable and leisurely in his mansion, eating this fruit and enjoying the coolness brought by the air conditioner.
"This air conditioner is really a good thing. My little nephew made something amazing." Yang Tianhuai had an idea. Such good things must be very popular in Mozhou. After all, the temperature in Mozhou will be higher all year round, especially in summer, which is really hot.
"Hey, although the canal has not been repaired, some fruits can be transported to the capital. It would be really troublesome to go to Xihecheng, otherwise, I really want to go to Xihezhou to see what my nephew has transformed Xihecheng into."
Many people were recruited in the construction of the Grand Canal built to the south of the capital and the Mozhou to the north. Most of them were based on Yang Yichuan's idea of cleaning beggars. Most of them were just to be able to eat and wear and have a place to live. Now we are going to build the canal, and we can have food and wages. After the canal is built, we should be able to make a lot of money.
They didn't know these so-called rumors outside. They only knew that working hard here was to support themselves and they could make a lot of money.
The secret guard sent by Yang Tianci has already begun to act. This secret guard is spread all over the world and can be said to be the eyes and ears of the Great Power Dynasty.
These secret guards secretly began to investigate this incident among the people, and found that it was not just these places that were extremely near Kyoto. There were also Tianzhou and Huazhou, and there were even rumors that the emperor had lost his morality. This heavy rain last year was caused by the disaster. These rumors even appeared in Mozhou, which attracted Yang Tianhuai's attention.
Scholars in this world are relatively enlightened, but some people are still a little ignorant and easily misled by some rumors.
Yang Tianci never worried about the slut behind this. What he wanted was that the Great Power Dynasty would become better.
After Yang Yichuan was idle for a few days, he began to tinker with some new things, bicycles. After the bicycle came out, it means that the psychic electric bike was also soon. Yang Yichuan was in Xihezhou and had no idea about the rumors in the mainland.
The court must have nothing wrong with this matter. It was not forcibly recruiting people to build the canal, nor was it filled with life. People with ulterior motives behind this are secretly fueling the fire.
