Chapter 2108 Where is the difference between the Northern Zhou Dynasty
In addition, the products produced in the workshop can not only be transported south to the Central Plains, but also north to Youzhou and even imported into Goguryeo, Liaodong, etc., thus realizing the input of raw materials and the outflow of processed products, from various places in Liaodong.
Tribes in their primitive state and even Goguryeo, which already had a state, had a trade surplus.
The Luoyang area has been planned to be the political, cultural, etc. center of the Han Dynasty in the future. It is naturally not suitable for further industrial development. Most of the existing workshops were built for emergency needs. They will naturally be relocated when the time is right in the future. The purpose of relocation
Naturally, the places are Guanzhong and Jizhou to better connect with Liaodong, Hexi and other places.
In addition, the Ministry of Industry has also sent people to investigate the feasibility of digging a canal from Honggou to the north through Baigou, Zhangshui, etc. to Youzhou.
Baigou and Qishui are very close to the river and are connected to each other. In addition, the north of Bohai County all the way to Youzhou has benefited from many years of war and the large amount of water in this era, so the swamp network is densely covered.
, On the contrary, there are innate conditions for digging rivers and cultivating fertile fields, so digging a canal from Luoyang through Yecheng directly to Youzhou is of course a rare thing for Youzhou, which is now almost isolated from the Central Plains.
It's a good thing, and by then Yecheng will become a node town along the way and will no longer be the border of the Central Plains.
However, these are long-term plans for the future. After the war is no longer tense, Li Xingchen will naturally no longer demand that the canal be built in a short period of time. Everything can be done slowly. Of course, this is just because there is not enough need among the people.
Under the circumstances, after all, the construction of the canal means that Youzhou will be completely included in the trade network of the Han Dynasty, which is obviously not a bad thing for the merchants of the Han Dynasty. For example, the Han Dynasty previously built canals such as Chidao and Honggou from the south.
At that time, we had received strong support from these merchants. After all, they were also the direct beneficiaries after the construction of these roads.
In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture also plan to find suitable places to build granaries around Yecheng, making this area an important hub for the allocation and transshipment of grain from the north to the south.
All in all, the various departments of the Han Dynasty had already made an overall plan for Yecheng early. Now after taking Yecheng, they began to carry out survey and planning as soon as possible. The officials of the various ministries who accompanied them northward, except for a few such as Chen Shushen,
They had other matters to meet with His Majesty, so except for those who came all the way from Jiangnan, most of the others were deputy ministers of various ministries and even lower-level chief clerks and meritorious officials. They were all young people who competed with each other.
, so I also want to make some achievements one by one.
As Luoyang is the capital, of course it is not their turn to make decisions about the city's planning, so they put their attention and hope of making achievements on Ye City, and they all have high morale, even if they are very busy.
They were all very energetic, and Yu Wenzhao, who came to make suggestions, could only lament that this new atmosphere of unity and progress had never been seen before in his life.
Although he has never been able to figure out what the gap is between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, or in other words, Yu Wenxian worked hard enough. At the beginning, the Northern Zhou Dynasty also united around Yu Wenxian to fight together, and there was also a lack of people like Pei Ji.
Why did such famous ministers and fierce generals like Yuchi Jiong and Wang Gui fail again and again in the end, and finally became what they are today?
Within the Northern Zhou Dynasty, this issue has been debated for a long time. Many people, especially some old people who were obsessed with the time when the Northern Zhou Dynasty just destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty and dominated the north, tend to attribute the reason to the internal division of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Our ancestors once said that disaster arises within Xiao Qiang.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty fell apart in an instant due to the Elephant Rebellion, and Yang Jian's side and Yu Wenxian's side fought again and again to compete for the title of orthodoxy. Finally, it gave Li Xingchen the opportunity to calm down the south and make a profit.
Originally Yu Wenzhao had the same idea, so he was not convinced that the Han Dynasty could defeat the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If we hadn't been internally divided in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and our own people had beaten us too hard, how could we have given you this opportunity?
You are just doing this because your fate is good.
People under the eaves had to lower their heads. Therefore, although Yu Wenzhao felt dissatisfied, of course he could not show it.
But now when I see these busy young officials, at the soldiers who are helping the people repair their houses, and at the merchants who have begun to decorate their shops and seem to be able to open their doors tomorrow, I suddenly feel like I have put the big man in his hands.
This opponent's thinking is too simple.
In Yecheng under the rule of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, everything was in order, but everything was lifeless. But now that the Han Dynasty had just taken over Yecheng for only one day, the whole city seemed to come alive in the blink of an eye, and the faces of the people showed a look that Yuwen Zhao had never seen before.
The joy I have seen.
When they first saw the Han soldiers coming forward to ask for help in repairing the houses, they were a little scared. After all, in most people's imagination, an army would be considered good if it did not burn, kill, and loot, and it also helped the people.
Live? What are you thinking about?
Let’s look at the Northern Zhou army. Even those stationed in Yecheng can be called elite. But after the defeat, didn’t they still take advantage of this opportunity to loot? If the Han army hadn’t entered the city in time, the city wouldn’t have known it.
What a tragedy it would be.
Not to mention that when Yecheng first started to deploy defenses, most of the houses close to the city were directly demolished, and the residents in the houses were directly driven to the city wall to serve as young men. It is unknown how many wives were separated and displaced. Even if
The rest of the people in the city who were not affected were also panic-stricken and fearful of the army itself.
Therefore, when they found out that the Han army was really planning to help them, they all smiled happily and took out the good things they had collected at home to entertain the Han army officers and soldiers. The soldiers and the people were like fish in water, and there was no longer any intention of war and disorder in the entire Ye city - even yesterday
There had just been a battle that overturned the country that night.
All this was seen by Yu Wenzhao, and naturally he felt even more inexplicable.
A slight error can make a difference of a thousand miles.
These trivial things done by the officers and soldiers of the Han army were enough to make the people's hearts belong to the Han Dynasty. And the seemingly insignificant efforts made by each of the officials of the Han Dynasty were naturally enough to make the gap between the Han Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty widen.
It gets bigger and bigger, and eventually reaches the point of irreparability.
Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty was inferior in the conflicts and internal consumption caused by the split, it was also inferior in many other aspects. Even until its final demise, many civil and military officials, including Yu Wenxian, may not have realized this.
This is not simply God's blessing or destiny, but the support of people's hearts. It is the gap and advantage gained by Li Xingchen and thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Han Dynasty through their own efforts.
