Turbulent Times Chapter 503: Changle Palace
The interest of the crowd had been aroused long ago. Everyone held their breaths and kept their ears upright, listening to the tall and thin man and the other person reveal a secret.
They faintly felt that they seemed to be about to hear a very important secret.
The person who spoke later was not good enough to be run over by the thin and tall man, but he seemed to have some scruples, he hesitated for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and said slowly: "The matter has to start more than two hundred years ago... "
"The genius doctor Zuo Tuo, I heard from my master uncle, is indeed a peerless genius doctor in the Jianghu more than two hundred years ago, and he is the best at maintaining a long life. I heard that this old man lived to be more than a hundred years old. At the age of 100, he was invited by a powerful family to be a high-ranking guest minister, and there was no news after that, but he did not expect that he was a senior guest minister for the Yu family, but in the end he was killed by the Yu family, and left the genius doctor for generations. The secret method "Longevity Scripture" that has been passed down has been snatched away."
"It's no wonder that the Yu clan's three generations of patriarchs have lived long lives. The first generation of patriarchs were all over a hundred years old. The old ancestor who is still alive today is also over a hundred years old, but his body is still very strong. Now it seems that they got the "Longevity Scripture" from Zuo Miracle Physician."

…
Inspired by Yang Lihua's words, Wang Junlin decided not only to send some to Emperor Yang Jian, but also to Changsun Sheng, Han Qinhu and Pei's family before backing mountain wine became popular in the capital.
Among the three, Wang Junlin was the first to choose the eldest grandson's family.
…
…
"Build Changle Palace?
Wang Junlin was stunned: "It's just a palace, just find a craftsman to do it."
Changsun Sheng smiled wryly and said, "'Build a palace'? Qin Anhou knows how big Changle Palace will be built, and how much manpower and financial resources will be spent..."
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, and gradually remembered, he couldn't help asking: "How big is the long palace that His Majesty wants to build...?"
This question hit the point, Changsun Sheng sighed, and said: "Changle Palace is not too big, two Changle Palaces are almost one imperial city.
Wang Junlin was shocked. A palace is equivalent to nearly one-half of the current imperial city. Although the current imperial city is not very large, it already covers an area of more than 1,000 mu. How about half of it? Isn't it equivalent to building another palace complex of nearly a thousand mu? This consumes money, manpower, and material resources is indeed not a minority.
"Your Majesty, what's going on...cough, your majesty's move may have some deep meaning..." Wang Junlin quickly changed his words, in order to cover up his disrespect just now, he randomly found a direction and regarded it as the palace, and cupped his hands in a perfunctory manner , expressing the condolences of the courtiers to His Majesty the Emperor who may have taken the wrong medicine.
Elder Sun Sheng glared at Wang Junlin: "With this old man, you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing."
After a pause, Changsun Sheng sighed again: "At the court meeting today, when His Majesty decided to build Changle Palace, the courtiers from the three provinces and six ministries were very opposed. It will cost the treasury a year. In the past few years, there have been wars at the border every year. The army has spent a lot of money, and disasters have continued in various states. This time, tens of thousands of people in Yongzhou were hit by snowstorms. If you hadn't found a way to provide food for the victims, In the end, the imperial court still had to provide a lot of food and money to relieve the disaster. Although the treasury has accumulated some money and food since the founding of the country, it was definitely not enough to build the Changle Palace. But at that time, His Majesty had made up his mind, and no one could dissuade him. ..."
Wang Junlin already understood what Changsun Cheng said. Yang Jian's move was done by a foolish emperor. To be honest, Yang Guang, who was insulted as Emperor Sui Yang in history, never did such a thing. Of course, Yang Guang is more exaggerated in other aspects.
"It's not easy for Da Sui to have such a situation! But Your Majesty..." Chang Sun Sheng explained slowly, his expression full of indignation and regret.
Wang Junlin didn't understand what Changsun Sheng meant when he said these words to him, so he tentatively said, "Your Majesty has worked hard for the country for many years, and he has ruled such a beautiful country, the court is clear, and the people live in peace. This is all thanks to His Majesty. It is understandable that the palace enjoys blessings..."
Changsun Cheng gave a wry smile and said, "Your boy has been getting more and more cunning recently. Da Sui is far from being rich. It's not just a matter of money and food. Once construction starts to rebuild the Changle Palace, tens of thousands of people will be recruited from all states and counties in the world." The number of civilian husbands will increase the number of corvees in the world. When civilian husbands are recruited into the capital, who will farm the land? Who will join the government soldiers? Who will feed the whole family? Who will marry wives and have children? The population of Guanzhong in the Sui Dynasty is eight. Hundreds of thousands of households, hundreds of thousands of households are transferred from 800,000 households, how many people are left in each household? What can the remaining people do? It affects the whole body. His Majesty has decided to build the Changle Palace this summer. ..."
Changsun Sheng shook his head and sighed, and didn't dare to say anything more, probably not a good thing to say.
Sun Sheng, the company commander, who is extremely loyal to today's world, feels that this matter is wrong, which shows that this matter is indeed very wrong.
…
…
Leaving Changsun Sheng ten altars of backing wine, and after leaving, Wang Junlin sat in the carriage with a somewhat strange expression on his face.
He remembered that in history, Yang Jian never had the idea of building Changle Palace when he was alive, but now he does.
"Could it be because of my appearance that history has changed?"
Wang Junlin pondered for a while, and felt more and more that this possibility was very high. Because during the period of Yang Jian in history, Tuyuhun, the confidant of the Northwest, was still there, and the Western Turks were not divided. At any time, they could gather 200,000 cavalry to invade the Sui Dynasty. And East Turkic was not hit as hard as last winter. In addition, history can be changed, and climate changes are absolutely impossible to change. Therefore, the snow disaster in Yongzhou between last winter and this spring will definitely happen normally. Presumably in the original history, the Sui Dynasty spent a lot of money on this. and food.
Based on this, the reason why Yang Jian had the idea of "should enjoy" at this time is because of Wang Junlin, or the reason is because of his appearance, which is his credit. But Yang Jian at this time may not remember that this is Wang Junlin's credit.
"It's just that history has changed, can Yang Guang still become emperor as in the original history?" Wang Junlin began to doubt for the first time.
"However, if Yang Jian wants to enjoy it, there is no need to build the Changle Palace! Not to mention the money and food, with the tools and capabilities of this era, no matter how many people there are, such a big palace will take a long time no matter what. Two years! You Yang Jian can live to that time, according to the original history, at most next year! It’s time to die. Of course, unless in real history Yang Jian didn’t die of illness, but was killed by others, in that case, Yang Jian I'm not sure when I'll die." Wang Junlin frowned, realizing for the first time that his advantage of knowing the direction of history in advance may not be effective.
