Chapter 1887 Great Reform

After Wang Can checked the child, baptized the child, handed the child to the nanny who was responsible for taking care of the child, and then entered the room and saw Li Xiuning, who was slightly weak.

Although Li Xiuning's complexion is a little pale, she has good bones, so she is pretty good.

Wang Can smiled and said: "Madam, thank you for your hard work."

Li Xiuning looked happy and said: "It's not hard, I'm very happy."

In this era, a woman's biggest mission is to carry on the family line. No matter how strong a woman is, she has to face the problem of carrying on the family line.

Now that Li Xiuning has given birth to a son, the Wang family will have a legacy.

This is also the inheritance of relationships.

After a pause, Li Xiuning said: "Husband, what is the name of the child?"

Wang Can said: "Let's call it Wang Cheng. Cheng means to carry on the past and open up the future, and to inherit."

"Okay, okay, let's call him Wang Cheng."

Li Xiuning's face looked happy. Although she had experienced the pain of giving birth, for Li Xiuning, the happiness she got was far beyond the pain.

The baby was taken care of by the nanny, while Wang Can stayed with Li Xiuning and spoke some private words.

"Master, someone is coming from the palace."

A maid came in from outside, quite hastily. When the maid saw Wang Can, she said again: "Someone from the palace has come to deliver the order, please go and receive the order."

"Let's go!"

Wang Can got up and walked out.

However, as soon as he walked out of the room and before leaving the courtyard, he saw that the chamberlain who was delivering the order from the palace had already entered. When the chamberlain saw Wang Can, there was a flattering look on his face, because the chamberlain all knew Wang Can's status.

What's more, Wang Can himself is a divine being who was created by Gong Shen. Anyone who meets Wang Can must be careful. If Wang Can is angered, it will be easy to be dealt with by Yang Guang when he goes back. If he is directly

It would be miserable if Wang Can was slapped to death.

The servant had no more words to say, so he took out the edict and announced Yang Guang's edict.

Not to mention the nonsense in this edict, the key point is the commendation to Wang Cheng. A newborn child is now directly named the Duke of Chu.

You know, Chu is a big country.

The title of Duke of Chu is an extremely glorious title. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su made great achievements, and in his later years, he was just named Duke of Chu. Now, Wang Can's son has become the Duke of Chu in one step.

This shows Yang Guang’s high regard for Wang Can.

After Wang Can thanked him, he asked someone to bring money to reward the servant who delivered the message, and then returned to the room and continued to accompany Li Xiuning. Wang Can now put aside government affairs for the time being. After all, there are people handling government affairs, so there is no need for Wang Can.

What does Chan worry about?

During Li Xiuning's month of confinement, Wang Can was at home.

Time flies and it’s February of the new year in a blink of an eye.

Spring begins in February and the weather gets warmer.

The child is now more than a month old, and his body and bones are extremely strong. He eats, sleeps, and eats, and is growing very well. Especially because Wang Can baptized Wang Cheng, although this child is only one month old, his body and bones are not inferior to those of three or five others.

Children who are 1 month old also have a great appetite.

During these two months, the Sui Dynasty was on a steady track.

After all, after Wagang was wiped out, the rebellions all over the world were like rolling oil and snow, all the ice and snow melted, and soon most of them went into hiding and did not dare to cause trouble again.

After all, Wagang's strength is the best in the world, but Wagang was easily destroyed in front of the imperial court. Such a situation is really scary.

In particular, the imperial court began to reduce taxes and gradually reduce excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes, making the people's lives less difficult than before. This situation further weakened the roots of rebellion.

Therefore, the overall situation in the world is peaceful.

Of course, Wang Can was far from satisfied with such a situation. It was not yet a truly prosperous age. If he wanted to reverse the outcome of the Great Sui Dynasty and make the Great Sui Dynasty completely prosperous, he would have to change all the problems so that the Great Sui Dynasty could be prosperous.

May there be long-term peace and stability.

On this day, Wang Can left the house and went to the palace.

He entered the palace in person, without any need to report, and went straight to the palace.

Today, Yang Guang is getting younger and younger.

My spirit is getting better and better.

Because all the true energy that Wang Can left in Yang Guang's body was refined by Yang Guang, and then transformed into Yang Guang's own power. Only in this way can Yang Guang achieve something. Furthermore, when Yang Guang practices, he can also

, absorbing weak spiritual energy can also make some progress.

Yang Guang saw Wang Can with a thick smile on his face.

He knew the specific information about the Battle of Wagang, because after Yang Lin sorted out the affairs of Wagang, he led his army back to Luoyang and reported it to Yang Guang in person.

Just like this, Yang Guang knew that Wang Can stood alone in the sky, and then slashed Wagang Village with his sword, and even broke the mountain. Just like this, he knew even more about Wang Can's extraordinary strength.

Today's Yang Guang is a little more powerful.

But standing in the air was completely impossible. He coveted Wang Can's state and wished he could achieve it himself, but Yang Guang also knew it was impossible, so he could only practice diligently.

Yang Guang saw Wang Can and said, "Master, you came at the right time. During this period, I have made some progress in my practice. However, I feel that this progress is a bit slow."

Wang Can smiled and said: "Although the emperor is very talented, he is old after all. It is already very good to have the current progress. If the emperor wants to covet other things, it will be a luxury. Your Majesty, when it comes to cultivation, it is best to

Let nature take its course and do nothing without doing anything. If you worry about everything and want to achieve quick results, it will be almost impossible. It may even lead to a bottleneck in your cultivation and make it difficult to make progress."

When Yang Guang heard this, his heart trembled with fright.

His current practice has been making steady progress. Even if the progress is slow, Yang Guang himself can feel such progress. If he encounters a bottleneck, he will lose more than he gains, so Yang Guang wants to make rapid progress.

, it suddenly became cold.

I dare not ask for more.

Just play it slow and steady.

Yang Guang suppressed his thoughts, changed the topic, and asked: "Is there anything going on when the Imperial Master enters the palace today?"

Wang Can said: "There are two things."

Yang Guangdao: "It doesn't matter what the Imperial Master says."

Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am ready to carry out reforms. The reform I want to carry out is the excavation and dredging of the Grand Canal. This matter must be adjusted."

Yang Guang asked: "What does the Imperial Master think should be adjusted?"

Wang Can said: "Nowadays, the excavation and dredging of the Grand Canal is carried out by collecting corvees. Not only that, some supervisors on site beat and scolded the people at every turn, and also withheld food, resulting in countless people dying while digging the Grand Canal.

superior."

Yang Guang frowned and said: "Does the Imperial Guard want to stop the excavation of the canal? In fact, this canal is extremely valuable. Once connected, it will be of great help to the entire Sui Dynasty. Because the supplies in the south,

Only then can it be easily transported to Luoyang through waterways in a steady stream. Or even to Zhuojun in the north."

Wang Can smiled and said: "Your Majesty Miao, I don't want to stop it. On the contrary, I also believe that the excavation and dredging of the Grand Canal is a matter that will benefit the present and the future. But if this matter is not handled well, it will not be good for the Sui Dynasty.

There will be fatal injuries. It may even cause countless Sui people to fall into it, causing huge casualties and placing a huge burden on the people."

When Yang Guang heard this, he immediately laughed.

He also believes that the excavation and dredging of the Grand Canal are things that will benefit the present and the future.

Therefore, he must carry it out.

Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "National Master, since you want to make adjustments, how do you make adjustments?"

Wang Can said: "The excavation and dredging of the Grand Canal are no longer carried out by conscripting corvees, but by recruiting workers. The court will pay salaries to those who go to work. Those who are unwilling to go will not be forced by the court.

.But now that you are gone, you must work in a down-to-earth manner. If you don’t work in a down-to-earth manner, you will be dismissed directly.”

After a pause, Wang Can added: "So the whipping that existed in the past is no longer needed, because under the new reform, whipping is no longer useful. It only needs to supervise workers' work."

After hearing this, Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "Master, I understand what you mean. But if the imperial court gives you money, the burden will be heavy. Can the imperial court afford it?"

"Of course!"

Wang Can answered with a smile.

Wang Can explained: "Although it is said that salaries should be paid to the people, in fact, after the people have money, they also have to eat, dress and use money. When the people have money, they will spend money."

"In this way, local taxes will also increase. Furthermore, the court will also increase revenue. It does not just rely on taxes, but also needs to open many industries. These are what I will reform next."

Wang Can said: "If the court only focuses on this small amount of tax, it will be difficult to survive."

After Yang Guang listened, he said: "I have roughly understood the meaning of the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master is bold enough to do this matter. Now that I have entrusted all the national affairs to your hands, I believe in you."

Wang Can said: "I am deeply grateful for the emperor's trust."

Yang Guang said: "National Master, speaking of which, I have an idea."

Wang Can said: "What do you think?"

Yang Guang said: "The Imperial Master has such a son. In fact, I also have a daughter who can match the Imperial Master's son. Imperial Master, how about we marry a son and daughter?"

This was the thought that Yang Guang had in his heart after Wang Can gave birth to his son.

Now, Yang Guang raised it directly.

Wang Can was about to leave, so he also hoped that his son could be properly settled. If he could marry Yang Guang's daughter and marry into the royal family, it would not be a bad thing.

Wang Can chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I have no objection, but I do have a suggestion."

Seeing that Wang Can did not object, Yang Guang was very excited and very happy, so he said: "If the National Master has any suggestions, just say it."

Wang Can said: "Let the two children grow up together until they are older. If they both still have ideas and both think it is good, then get married. If neither child has this intention, then give up. You see

how?"

Yang Guang said: "No problem, no problem."

He also thought it was good.
