The Sui Emperor Yang Guang was the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty. The history books record that after Yang Guang took the throne, he adopted a brutal rule, which for a time caused a situation in which the people were not happy. It was precisely because of his fainting rule that Jiangshan was taken away by the Li family. This also made Yang Guang bear the insult of The Dark King. However, during his reign, he made many important contributions to future generations.
During the reign of the Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang, he created the imperial examination system, which gave the poor people a way to heaven. Previously, the officialdom was monopolized by members of the royal family or the family name, and the poor did not have the opportunity to soar through the officialdom. In addition, it has excavated the Grand Canal connecting the north and the south, and its existence makes the transportation between the north and the south more convenient, and also allows the economy to develop along the canal.
The Sui Emperor also built a huge granary in the capital Luoyang. The granary collects a large amount of ripe grain every year, some of which come from the south, and the grain is successfully transported to this place for storage with the help of the Construction of the Grand Canal. After all, the political and economic center of the Sui Dynasty was still in the north, and when the grain in the northern region was guaranteed, the rest of the grain was stored in the granary. When there is a shortage of food, release the granaries to solve the famine.
When we find the granary built by the Sui Dynasty today, archaeologists are also amazed by it. The capacity of the Granary of the Sui Dynasty was staggering, and it was estimated that the grain that could be stored here could reach hundreds of millions of catties, an area similar to that of thirty football fields. The granary itself is also divided into two areas, the outer warehouse and the inner warehouse, to ensure that the grain is neither moldy nor collapsed.
The history books say that the grain stored in this granary built by the Sui Dynasty was not eaten until the Tang Dynasty, which is enough to prove the degree of agricultural development and the strong ability to build and manage at that time. Archaeologists studied the layout of the granary in detail and were also impressed by the construction techniques of the Sui Dynasty. And the incredible thing: many of the grains left in the granary, some of which have sprouted. From this granary, we can glimpse the wisdom of our ancestors and the progress of society, but the Sui Dynasty flourished for a while.
