Days are everlasting

In addition to Yang Guang, what Yang Jian cares most about is of course the "Tang Gaozu" who replaced him after the death of Sui II.

The country titles of the past dynasties are not easy to come up with just thinking about it. The reason why the Great Sui was named "Sui" was because he was named Sui Guogong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and because "Sui" means "to go". , fearing that it would be ominous, so it was changed to "Sui".

Yang Jian can only think of one person who fits the Li surname and is related to "Tang"——Tang Guogong Li Yuan.

In addition, the title of the prophecy is "Peach and Plum Chapter", the word plum can be deciphered, what does the word peach mean?If you think about homonyms, "Peach" is related to "Tao". Emperor Yao, one of the five emperors in ancient times, was the Tao Tang clan.

Moreover, Li Yuan's name from water also fits his previous dream of flooding Chang'an.

If it had been in the past, he might have suspected people whose name was related to "Hong", such as Li Min from Zhuguo who was raised in the palace before his granddaughter Yuwen Eying's wedding with the nickname "Hong Er", or It was Li Min's other members of the Li family.

But now, with the obvious clue of "Tang", there is only one person Yang Jian suspects - his nephew Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's mother is the fourth sister of Dugu Jialuo, and his father has four sons, only Li Yuan is the descendant, so when he was seven years old, he surpassed his elder brothers and inherited his father's Duke of Tang.

By the time of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan had not yet married a wife. As Li Yuan's uncle, Yang Jian also took good care of this nephew.

Li Yuan has served as an official in Daxing City for a long time, and now he is in Daxing City.

Not long ago, the Empress told him that Li Yuan's son, Dou Shi, had given birth to a boy named Bishamon in small characters. Yang Jian sent someone to Li Yuan's mansion to issue a reward as his uncle's congratulations to his nephew for his happy birthday.

Li Yuan's father died early, as an uncle, Yang Jian has always taken good care of their family, and Li Yuan's age is between Yang Yong and Yang Guang, Yang Jian also treats him as his nephew.

In Yang Jian's self-assessment, he is indeed a suspicious person, but he doesn't know why, he can be sure that Li Yuan is now a thoroughly loyal minister and filial son, so why he raised troops against the Sui Dynasty in the future is suspicious.

Yang Jian got the prophecy, and thought that Yang Yan actually had a dream about the future of the Sui Dynasty, and he valued his eldest grandson even more in his heart.

After all, he was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, so he had a dream about the future of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Yan had such a dream, doesn't it mean that he is also the favorite of fate?

It's just that in the prophecy, Yang Yan is obviously not the future emperor, and his heirs may fight each other because of power like the previous dynasty, which makes Yang Jian shudder.

Yang Jian hid all these things in his heart, but paid more attention to Prince Yang Yong.

Although the prince has some minor problems, in the past, it might have accumulated to make Yang Jian dissatisfied, but since he got the prophecy, he has often examined the relationship between the princes, and he feels that it is best for the eldest son Yang Yong to be the prince. idea.

Although the rest of the sons are all legitimate sons, they have violated the order of elder and younger.

He used to be full of confidence that all his sons were from the same mother, and they would never repeat the past, but if the crown prince was changed, there was no guarantee that the remaining sons would not think about it.

Prince Yang Yong is generous and treats his younger brothers like an elder brother. Changning Wang Yang Yan is also a smart child. He grew up beside him and the queen, and has deep affection for his uncles and aunts.

If Yang Jian were to predict who among his grandchildren would be the most kind to the clan, he would definitely nominate the two grandchildren he raised by his side.

After Yang Yan became king, please refer to his example. Yang Zhao was named king when he was six years old. It can be seen that his heart is kind and simple, and he is a friendly brother.

Yang Jian had a lot of things backlogged in his mind. Fortunately, since the founding of the Sui Dynasty for nearly ten years, the affairs of the court and the government have been on the right track. Although he has a lot of thoughts every day, he can still organize the affairs in an orderly manner.

Empress Dugu Jialuo also knew about the prophecy, but there was still some news that Yang Jian hadn't told her yet.

Later, the empress forced him to rest for a period of time. It was too early for this prophecy to be fulfilled. They just wanted to prevent the erroneous things from happening. They often asked the two grandsons to accompany Yang Jian to soothe his mood with family happiness.

But he said that Yang Jian put Yang Yan on his lap that day, and turned his recent difficulties into other questions to ask him: "There was a family in this world, and the family was poor, but they were respectful brothers and sisters, and they had a happy relationship. After acquiring the money left by distant relatives, he got rich overnight, but his relationship was not very harmonious. The younger brothers coveted the property of the elder brother every day, and because they were siblings of the same mother, the parents were not good at favoring each other. how?"

Yang Yan smiled immediately: "If you don't use that windfall as the principal to start a business, if you earn enough money, you can divide it equally and let the brothers inherit it separately. In the future, they will continue to make money." It doesn’t matter whether you make money or just sit and eat, it’s been fairly and evenly distributed in the beginning.”

Yang Jian nodded. If it is an ordinary family, this method is good and fair: "What if this family is not a poor family, but a family with a title to inherit? What about the country to inherit?"

Yang Yan said: "Boldly, grandson, take the Great Sui as an example. Although it seems that the Great Sui now covers the whole world, there are still other countries outside the Great Sui, and there are many subordinate countries. If the territory is large, it is difficult for one person to govern. If there are sons in the family, it is just right to divide them and govern them. To subdue other countries to expand our territory, and to send the clan kings out of the town, following the example of Ji and Zhou, those who have the same surname as the Son of Heaven are called solitary widows outside Kyushu. Wouldn't it be a good thing for Yuyu to be honored?"

After hearing this, Yang Jian was stunned.

These people, counting their blood in detail, can count the Xianbei and the Hu people, but their ancestors have always aimed at the Central Plains of Kyushu, and they forgot that they can expand outward.

It's just that this is not something that can be achieved just by thinking about it casually, and is there any place in the world that is more prosperous and prosperous than the land of Kyushu in the Central Plains?

However, it is indeed a good way to divert internal conflicts through the competition between the two countries.

Only in this way, a large number of talents are needed, but unfortunately the world is still dominated by noble families as the main source of talents. Even if Yang Jian hopes that the humble family will produce more talents, it is impossible to achieve it overnight!

Unexpectedly, Yang Yan has already said the solution to the problem in his mind: "Ah, the talents in the palace are all familiar faces, no matter how bad they are, they come from aristocratic families. My grandson has been studying history recently, and I only think that many talents came from humble beginnings in the pre-Qin period. , This is the right way. If all the people in the world are like Confucius, teaching without distinction, there will be more talents for Ah Weng to use!"

Yang Jian sighed: "Jin Lin'er is right. It's just a book of classics and history. Many of them are treasures passed down from generation to generation. How can we get them to hand them over?"

"The Chen Dynasty was destroyed, didn't Ah Weng get a batch of books? If the royal order is passed on to the world, so that everyone in the world can learn, it will be safe." Yang Yan calmly said that this speech will definitely be read The words that will cause a huge shock in the future.

"Angel, my Yang family has this son!" Yang Jian sighed.

It’s just that although Yang Yan’s words are reasonable, there is a very real problem: “Books are expensive, how can poor families spread the knowledge? Even if the royal family has a large collection of books, how can they spread it to the world?”

This is also one of the reasons why the real imperial examination system was underdeveloped before the Song Dynasty—although the Tang Dynasty had already implemented the imperial examination system, compared with the imperial examination system in the Song and Ming Dynasties, there were still big loopholes.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations were impermanent, and although the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were much more perfect than those in the Sui Dynasty—so many people in the academic circles believe that the Tang Dynasty was the era when the imperial examination system really emerged—there were still many loopholes.

The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty allowed "public recommendation". Every year when the examinations were opened, the dignitaries in the court hosted the examiners "Zhigongju" one after another, and recommended their favorite candidates for Jinshi. The number of people had already been booked, and the exam was just a formality. In other words, until the Tang Dynasty, there was still the shadow of the procuratorate system.

The development of the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty was not only related to the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms before its establishment, which led to the collapse of a large number of families, but also to the large-scale promotion of white paper in the Song Dynasty and the existence of printing.

Bi Sheng in the Song Dynasty invented movable type printing. Before Bi Sheng, block printing had been widely used in the late Tang Dynasty.

Bi Sheng’s movable type printing is not mentioned yet—because in ancient China, as long as the block was carved, the time limit of woodblock printing was actually longer than that of movable type printing, and the handwriting was clearer and the fonts were uniform. You don’t have to worry about scrapping the books after they are printed once after engraving, that’s really once and for all—just look at the promotion of woodblock printing and white paper, and the culture of the Song Dynasty quickly spread to the bottom.

This is also the reason why so many senior officials came from humble backgrounds since the Song Dynasty.

Although white paper has been "invented" since the Eastern Han Dynasty—of course, it actually existed before the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cai Lun only improved paper, not made paper—but large-scale promotion was still in later generations.

The first time was at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Xuan, the powerful official who usurped the throne, ordered to change the simplification to paper, and forcibly promoted the official use of white paper; while the large-scale promotion of white paper in the Song Dynasty was due to the improvement of raw materials. It is bamboo, and bamboo paper was used in large quantities at that time. Compared with the bark paper and rattan paper of the previous generation, the materials were easier to obtain and more paper was made.

If we simply follow the steps of historical development, even though Yang Jian intends to reform the talent selection system, he is powerless due to the actual conditions, but who made Yang Yan let him go?

In his first life, he had seen woodblock printing and moveable type printing during the tours organized by the school and visiting places of interest, and he had also seen how to make paper.

In the last life, he also ordered people to experiment with these methods in an attempt to increase the prestige of his lineage, but it was a pity that after the final test results came out, the results were only placed there. There is no use for it.

But in this life, he can quickly order people to reproduce them.

Yang Yan shared his thoughts with Yang Jian one by one. Because the paper can find examples in history books, he didn't have to think hard to find any excuses. Yang Jian would only think that he also learned something from history books and could learn from history. , is very smart.

As for engraving and printing, he only said that if something could be printed on the book like a seal, it would be great to print all the characters.

Yang Jiangui is the king of a country. Since he has been persuaded by Yang Yan and made up his mind, what he lacks is the time to turn his ideas into reality.

Compared with Yang Guang, Yang Jian was a bit eager for quick success, but the degree was much lighter. He was also the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Although he won the country easily, he completed the unification of the world. compared to.

In the case of the second emperor, according to Yang Yan, instead of choosing a radical monarch, it is better to choose a monarch like his father Yang Yong, who has made achievements in martial arts but has a lenient personality. Only in this way can we better defend the country, and in this way, we can better implement the national policies formulated by Yang Jian, without being too eager for quick success-yes, Yang Yan refers to his second uncle Yang Guang.

As for the third emperor, not to mention, he himself is a time-traveling and reborn person, with such a big cheat, and he has already suffered, how can he capsize again in the gutter?

Yang Yan is already dreaming about the future happily.

The author has something to say: The main goal of this volume is to defeat Yang Guang, but the kid Jin Liner has opened a cheat, so after another big event, this volume will be over 233333

The extra volume of this volume wants to go to the world of Tang Shuanglong to have a look, I think I am probably crazy 233333.What do you think of the little angels?
