    Hearing Yang Guang's heart-wrenching remarks, Huang Mingyuan knelt on the ground with a thump and said: "Sages have a clear lesson, corrupt scholars talk nonsense in order to seek fame. Is Mingyuan also a person seeking fame? Those who deceive the world and steal fame, Mingyuan  What's the use of it?"

    Yang Guang said sullenly: "That's not necessarily true. You released a large number of Yang Liang's rebels in Bingzhou. Who knows if you are trying to win people's hearts?"

    "Saint!"

    Huang Mingyuan said loudly: "This idea of ??opening a canal was proposed to the emperor by Mingyuan six years ago when he was in Yangzhou. Mingyuan still remembers a poem recited by the emperor at that time, 'The Pinghuai River is now Miaomiao, and the dawn fog is returning.  It's raining. Huaidian has no color distinction, and the waves share the morning glow. The clear clouds turn to the isolated island, and the brocade sails come out of the long bow. The fish jumps on the waves at the tide, and the sand birds sing and want to fly. I will wait for the high autumn dawn, and I will return home with sorrow because of the passing water.  'Ming Yuan hoped to open the canal six years ago, how can he oppose the opening of the canal now?"

    Yang Guang did not expect that Huang Mingyuan still remembered his song "Early Crossing the Huaihe River", so he was not so angry, but said angrily: "This was all six years ago. You supported opening the canal at the beginning, but you may not still support it now.  "

    Huang Mingyuan said anxiously: "Sage, the canal must be opened no matter what time it is. As for Xiyuan, Tianjing Palace, and Dragon Boat Department, it is unquestionable that they are all for the promotion of the prestige of the Sui Dynasty. But saint  We cannot let these villains below tarnish the reputation of the Emperor. Other things are trivial, only the reputation of the Emperor is supreme."

    Seeing Huang Mingyuan's loyal look, Yang Guang was no longer angry, but said disapprovingly: "Ming Yuan is really worrying too much. I have heard what you said, but a few common people died. How could this happen?"  It has tarnished my reputation. My reputation will be immortalized along with this great river and will be remembered in history."

    Huang Mingyuan argued forcefully: "Sage, it's not just a few people who died, but hundreds of thousands of people, and even more in the future. Such many casualties are the destruction of dozens of families. The entire Sui Dynasty cannot withstand such a disaster."  turmoil."

    Yang Guang said proudly: "So what if there are hundreds of thousands of people? I have vast territory all over the world, and there are billions of people. Even if hundreds of thousands die, this Sui Dynasty will still be a Sui Dynasty, and I will still be their emperor."

    Huang Mingyuan was filled with chills when he saw Yang Guang's indifference to the life and death of the people.  As the Son of Heaven, if he uses the power of the world to support one person, how can he not love all the people in the world?

    Huang Mingyuan said loudly: "Sage, since you can gain reputation in peace, why do you need to die so many servants to cause criticism? The saint is the greatest monarch in the world, and he should not be blamed for the faults of minor officials and supervisors.  It¡¯s up to the Emperor. It¡¯s this group of overseers who killed countless servants and ruined the sage¡¯s kindness to the world. The Emperor should rule them out.¡±

    Yang Guang was a little silent after hearing this.

    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t know some things, it¡¯s just that some servants died, and Yang Guang doesn¡¯t care.  But as Huang Mingyuan said, if people can achieve things without dying, why should he bear this bad reputation.  After all, Yang Guang is not really a pervert and takes pleasure in killing people, but the education he has received prevents him from caring about the people at the bottom.

    Yang Guang looked at Huang Mingyuan and said solemnly, "What do you think we should do?"

    In Huang Mingyuan¡¯s view, the most important thing now is to stop the construction of Xiyuan and all other unnecessary construction, and then focus on building Dongdu and Tongji Canal, improve the working conditions of laborers, and maintain social stability to the greatest extent.

    But for Yang Guang, this is impossible, Xiyuan is his face.

    Huang Mingyuan could only say: "The construction period of various projects can be appropriately extended"

    Before Huang Mingyuan finished speaking, Yang Guang said categorically: "This is absolutely impossible. I have told you before that whether it is Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, or Tongji Canal, it is related to the strategy and future of the Sui Dynasty.  It cannot be extended.¡±

    Huang Mingyuan said sarcastically: "I said it was your palaces, pavilions and royal gardens."

    But these things cannot be openly opposed, so Huang Mingyuan had no choice but to say: "I set up an engineering camp with tens of thousands of people at the construction site of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and equipped it with a Zuowuwei military medical camp, and formulated a system to uniformly manage the laborers, which improved the situation.  The basic living conditions and living conditions of laborers have greatly reduced the death rate of laborers at the Luoyang construction site. I believe this can be extended to other construction sites.

    ¡°At the same time, the imperial court should set up a special agency to issue laws and regulations to strengthen the supervision of small supervisors at various construction sites to ensure that these small supervisors will not be harsh and cruel and force people to die¡±

    Yang Guang became a little impatient after hearing this. This was the first time he felt that Huang Mingyuan's suggestions were also long-winded and nonsense.  Hearing that Huang Mingyuan wanted to strengthen supervision of the supervisors and subordinates, Yang Guang interrupted Huang Mingyuan again and said angrily: "In the workplaceThe purpose of setting up supervisors on the construction site was to urge laborers not to be lazy and to speed up the construction progress.  If we order people to supervise these supervisors again and prevent them from being severely punished, it is tantamount to cutting off the claws of these supervisors. How can we expect these supervisors to work hard at that time, let alone how to ensure the progress of the project?  I think it¡¯s not that the supervisors are too strict, but that the unscrupulous people are too sneaky and need to be severely punished.¡±

    In Yang Guang¡¯s view, Huang Mingyuan is too kind and has a bookish spirit.

    Huang Mingyuan did not refute Yang Guang's words. The upper-class people did not understand the sufferings of the people. In later generations, there will be hosts asking left-behind children why they don't eat meat, let alone the emperor who is above him.

    Huang Mingyuan took out a memorial from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and said to Yang Guang: "Sage, the harshness of supervisors in various places has reached an appalling level. As for General Ma Hu, the deputy supervisor in charge of opening the Tongji Canal, You Wuhou,  He even ate human flesh, and the gods were outraged."

    Yang Guang was also surprised when he heard this.

    "Eating human flesh, is this true?"

    Huang Mingyuan said: "On the way south from Mingyuan, I saw countless cruel officials, and Ma Hu was the most famous. The whole Huaibei was frightened by his reputation for cannibalism. What I saw along the way was horrifying and beyond words.  describe."

    Yang Guang still trusts Huang Mingyuan's words.  Especially for such a big matter, Huang Mingyuan would not talk nonsense at all.

    Although Yang Guang is cruel, he cannot tolerate the perverted behavior of eating human flesh.  Moreover, if this kind of thing is not good, it will ferment within the court and give countless excuses to those who oppose the opening of the canal.

    Yang Guang also became serious and said to Huang Mingyuan: "Mingyuan, I will carefully consider what you said today. But I also have important things for you to do today. I will send you to the places in Huaibei.  Investigate the fact that Ma Hu eats human flesh. If this is true, you can execute Ma Hu on the spot, but remember not to magnify his evil deeds in the court."

    Huang Mingyuan immediately knelt on the ground, received the order and said: "Mingyuan will fulfill his mission." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
