Chapter 327 Want to impeach the master for slack and dereliction of duty to His Majesty
Chapter 327
Zhuo County is located in the southwest of Guangyang County in the sixth year of Yuanshou in the Western Han Dynasty. It was named after the Zhuo River and governed Zhuo County.
In the first year of Suihe, the southwest area was ceded to the Zhongshan Kingdom, and its jurisdiction was reduced. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it belonged to Youzhou.
In the seventh year of the Wei and Huang Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, it was changed to Fanyang County. In the early days of the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Youzhou and established in Ji County.
The Yongji Canal dug in the Sui Dynasty reached the Yellow River in the south and reached here in the north.
A large amount of ordnance and military supplies have been transported here along the Yongji Canal. Nearly 100,000 civilians have gathered here, and the number of people in the Sui Dynasty has reached 200,000.
In this land where open fields and plains intersect, countless military camps, large and small, have been erected.
There are countless workshops and craftsmen, and countless civilians and craftsmen are working hard.
When Yang Guang's imperial chariot arrived, it was already early summer. In the early summer in the north, it was like a hundred flowers blooming.
As early as the end of the fifth year of Daye, the palace that had been built by the Zhuo River finally welcomed its owner.
However, Yang Guang also came with a report that made Yang Guang furious.
In the northwest of Qi County, Shandong Province, a group of common people were dissatisfied with being forcibly conscripted into the army. They were dissatisfied with the extremely poor food, and the escort officials scolded them harshly.
A man named Wang Bo won over more than a hundred township party members, and used this as an excuse to kill dozens of escort officials. He instigated and coerced the more than 3,000 civilian soldiers accompanying him to rebel, captured nearby Linji County, and opened a warehouse.
They put out food and gathered more than ten thousand people.
They then went south along the Yongji Canal to burn and kill, and took nearly 30,000 civilians, craftsmen, and soldiers to Zhuojun, and the momentum became stronger and stronger.
"What use do I need from you? What use do I need from millions of tigers and warriors?!" Yang Guang's extremely angry roar echoed in the walking hall of government.
As an outstanding Zuo Bei Shenfu Qianniu Bei Shen, Yang Qian naturally has to work hard to perform his duties. At this moment, Yang Qian led his five subordinates and stood outside the Council of Government Hall.
Yang Guang's roar also made Yang Qian confused. Wang Bo, this is a famous person. In history, it was this guy who set off the great storm of the uprising in the late Sui Dynasty.
It represents the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, which will be greatly shaken by the northern expedition to Goguryeo.
So far, Yang Qian, who is still just an ordinary imperial guard and a staff member of the National Library, is very melancholy.
As long as he stays by Yang Guang's side, he really has no way to influence the future and the direction of history.
Before the fight with Goguryeo, a fire started in the backyard. I don’t know if the Sui Emperor Yang Guang can wake up and reflect on his actions.
On that day, an edict was issued to all the places in Shandong and Hedong to work together to quell the chaos. However, after this chaos, not only tens of thousands of people were lost.
A large amount of materials transported north through the Yongji Canal were burned, including a large number of siege equipment. Even a craftsman camp along the river north was mostly carried away, and finally continued north to Zhuojun.
Or, ten are less than one.

"Sir, you are here." Uncle De, who was guarding the gate of the house, saw Yang Qian and quickly saluted.
"Uncle De, there is no need to be polite. Where is my father?"
"The master is in the house, but I am in a bad mood today. Please give me some comfort." Uncle De glanced in the direction of the door of the house and whispered.
"What's wrong?" Yang Qian paused, raised his hand to signal, and Zhili and others stepped aside knowingly.
"Today, Minister Li of the Ministry of Industry came to inspect and requested more siege weapons."
"The master said that the craftsmanship camp was trying its best and could not meet so many demands, which made Shilang Li furious."
"No matter what, if the siege ordnance handed over to the guards by the end of the month is insufficient, I will be impeached by Your Majesty for slacking off and dereliction of duty, thus violating the imperial edict and hindering military and national affairs."
"..." Yang Qian's face gradually darkened. After nodding slightly, he walked quickly into the house.
This is the emperor's inspection tour of Zhuojun. Zhuojun has already arranged residences for a group of important officials and distinguished nobles.
Although the mansion is not large in size, and dozens of people from the Yang Mansion are crowded inside, it seems a little cramped, but at least they don't need to crowd into the tent or hang out on the boat.
"Suck it... ha..." Yang Qian hurried back to the house, took off his Bishenfu standard armor, and then arrived in front of the hall, where the familiar sound of water came into his ears.
"It turns out Qian'er is back. Come here and sit down for a while. You worked all night last night. Are you exhausted?"
"It's okay. Even though we are on the same shift, fortunately there is a place to rest in the palace. The child also squinted there for almost half a night and didn't feel sleepy."
Yang Qian sat opposite his father. After greeting Yang Qian, Yang Jinzhong also picked up a pot and poured a cup of boiled water for this young master who never liked tea.
"Father, why are you back now?" Yang Qian asked curiously.
"The master has been staying at the Artisan Camp all night, and this is the house he just returned to." Yang Jinzhong couldn't help but say.
"Young Master, please also advise me that official duties are official duties, and you can't even neglect your health for the sake of official duties."
Yang Ning glared at Yang Jinzhong, but Yang Jinzhong pretended not to notice Yang Ning's eyes and went to refill the kettle.

Facing Yang Qian's gaze, Yang Ning smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little worried about official matters, nothing major."
"Uncle De has told the child." Yang Qian said calmly.
"..." Yang Ning looked at his son who had a very calm expression. He didn't expect that he was surrounded by traitors, and he was really helpless.
"Alas... Qian'er, don't worry, being a father is not something that can be manipulated by others."
"Of course the kid knows, but father, please let me know what's going on. Maybe the kid can give you some advice and share some of the trouble."
Yang Ning nodded attentively. "Well, speaking of it, it's not a big deal, and the cause is not me, but because of the shortage of raw materials and the lack of craftsmen..."
After all, it still has a lot to do with Wang Bo's troubles in Shandong and Hebei.
The land of Shandong and Hebei was the only place that supported the northern expedition to Goguryeo.
The Yongji Canal, which connects the eastern capital, can be regarded as the lifeline of the northern expedition to Goguryeo. It was plundered by Wang Bo and lost a large number of manpower, as well as a large amount of ordnance and raw materials.
The weapons and equipment that were burned and looted by Wang Bo and other rebels would naturally not come back, so they would have to be made again.
Nowadays, a large amount of siege armaments still need to be produced. The Ministry of Industry, which is responsible for the shortage of ordnance and armaments, naturally faces a sharp increase in pressure.
"It is necessary to recruit raw materials from the surrounding areas of Zhuo County for manufacturing. The craftsmen and civilian workers in many craft camps are already working hard, but it is still difficult to make up for it within the deadline."
"They are all human beings. They can't work twelve hours a day without eating, drinking or sleeping, right?"
