When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

"Yes, yes, I will have some cattle and sheep sent over right away. Your Majesties, how would you like to eat?" Du Lan asked with a smile.

Yang Jian smiled slightly: "No need, you can just drive the cattle, sheep and horses over here. With your cooking skills, I dare not try it. Maybe after eating it, my hundreds of thousands of troops will be defeated here."

Zhu Di chuckled: "Emperor Yang, that may not be the case. I guess the Khan in front of us may not have so many drugs."

There was no shortage of cattle and sheep on the grassland, and Dulan Khan quickly acquired hundreds of thousands of them.

"Your Majesty, I'm really sorry. There was a plague some time ago and there were serious casualties among the foals. We can't find many horses at the moment, only a few hundred." Du Lan's face was full of shame, as if he had not completed his mission and was a little shy.

The three emperors on the opposite side felt a little disgusted.

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Don't you have it or don't want to give it?"

Du Lan cursed in his heart, "Are you stupid? You definitely don't want to give it to me." He smiled and said, "Emperor Ming, I really don't have it."

Yang Jian said nonchalantly, "If there is none, then there is none. We did bring a lot of cattle and sheep."

Zhu Ming nodded: "In that case, let's go back. By the way, Dulan Khan, right? Do you want to go to the Sui Dynasty with us?"

Dulan Khan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Thank you, Dragon Emperor, for the invitation. It's just that there has been a disaster on the grassland recently and the disease has spread. I really can't leave. Next time, I will personally invite you to come."

Yang Jian and others naturally knew that all this was false, but they did not expose the lie.

After all, the current level of technology has not yet developed to the point where they can fully control the grasslands. Even if they succeed in conquering this land, it will be difficult for them to truly occupy it.

Yang Jian had no intention of completely eliminating the Turks at this time.

So he said: "In that case, let's go back first!"

In Dulan Khan's eyes, the army in front was gradually decreasing at an alarming rate.

The number of people who disappeared each time ranged from thousands to tens of thousands.

Not long after, this huge army disappeared without a trace before his eyes.

At first, the disappearing soldiers might be seen as an illusion or a trick.

However, when the last tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly disappeared before his eyes, Dulan Khan could not help but fall into deep shock.

At the place where the army disappeared, Dulan Khan had a gloomy face and ordered his men to conduct a thorough search of the surroundings.

They even dug up the grass thoroughly, but still found no trace.

Dulan Khan and the leaders of several other small tribes looked solemn and said, "It seems that the rumors are true. The Great Sui Dynasty has indeed received the help of gods and can descend to various places at will!"

"What should we do next? The Great Sui Dynasty was already so powerful that even if we joined forces, we couldn't defeat it. Now we have the help of a god. Even if the entire Turkic coalition joined, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to defeat it!"

"If we can win over the other two people just now, that is, the Ming Emperor and the Dragon Emperor, the Great Sui will not dare to act rashly even if there are gods to help."

Daxing City

Yang Jian laughed loudly: "This time, I'm afraid that Du Lan won't dare to resist anymore!"

Zhu Di agreed very much: "Whoever sees this method will be panicked for a long time."

Zhu Ming said, "This time, thanks to Li Si, he followed the Goguryeo messenger to the vicinity of Dulan Khan's tent by chance. Otherwise, the deterrent effect would be greatly reduced. We must reward him well. From now on, you can arrange people to run the map of the grassland. When the action comes one day, you can appear in various places in the grassland at any time."

Yang Jian nodded and said, "The Dragon Emperor is right. Li Si will be promoted three levels, rewarded with ten thousand gold coins, and granted the title of Baron!"

After returning to the Sui Dynasty.

The Guanlong nobles and other aristocratic families immediately held a secret meeting.

Consider the direction of the aristocratic families.

"Tell me, what do you think about what Emperor Ming Zhu Di said that day?"

"I think what the other party said might be true."

"Let's not talk about whether there are other armies. Just the million-strong army, with the guns and cannons in their hands, even if the Great Sui Dynasty works together, it is no match for them, not to mention that Your Majesty is definitely on the other side."

"Add to that the Dragon King's methods, even ten Sui dynasties wouldn't be able to defeat him!"

"We have always wanted to use the emperor as a puppet of the aristocratic families, but which emperor would not want to destroy our aristocratic families? This is a tacit understanding!" The old man sighed, with a trace of helplessness and worry in his eyes. He knew that the contradiction between the aristocratic families and the imperial power had reached an irreconcilable point. They were the best among the aristocratic families, but they were also the thorns in the eyes of the imperial power.

"We, the aristocratic families, are a cancer to the emperor, a vampire that sucks the blood of the country all the time, a huge beast that can devour the emperor at any time." The old man said in a heavy tone. He knew very well that the power of the aristocratic families was huge and posed a serious threat to the imperial power. The emperors knew this very well, but they could do nothing about it.

"Yes, the emperors would not sit idly by. It is estimated that the noble families of other dynasties may have really been purged." Another person echoed. So many noble families were purged, and countless people died because of this. A chill could not help but surge in my heart.

"If I were sitting in that position, I would definitely clean them up, or even kill them all. A short pain is worse than a long one. Removing the cancer early will certainly damage your vitality, but you can recover as long as you rest for a while."

"If a new emperor were to take over, could this kind of thing be avoided?" someone asked.

"How is this possible? If anyone of us were sitting in that position, we would make the same choice. If it were me, I would not give you any chances at all and would eliminate you all without hesitation. And His Majesty has not made a final decision yet, which means there is still hope."

"No matter what conditions you put forward, I will accept them, even if it means I have to hand over all my property!"

"Are we just going to watch our family decline?"

"It's better for a family to decline than to be completely destroyed!"

"The glory has lasted for hundreds of years, it's time to be content!"

"Why don't we go to other dynasties as soon as possible to find ways to coexist. Even if we lose our former glory, at least we won't be completely reduced to the bottom of society."

Not just the Guanlong nobles.

For example, the Shandong gentry and the southern gentry also returned at full speed at the same time.

imperial study room

There was no room for the ministers who arrived, and some were still queuing outside.

On the day of returning.

Yang Jian sent someone to spread the news of that day's conversation, especially Zhu Di's proposal to eliminate all the aristocratic families.

In the past few days, no family could sleep well.

The more powerful the family, the more difficult it is to fall asleep.

Everyone was shocked by the rumors, especially when they were verified to be true, which was even more frightening.

If one fails to handle it properly, the whole clan will be exterminated and executed. Who can sleep well like that?

I learned that Emperor Yang Jian had not made up his mind yet.

Know that this is your last chance.

If Yang Jian cannot be impressed at this time, it will probably not last long.

The armies that deal with Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo will turn towards us!

Yang Jian couldn't stop smiling, his heart filled with joy and excitement.

He recalled his past efforts to track down the people hidden by the aristocratic families.

There were small inspections every year and large inspections every three years. Rumors spread among the people that Yang Jian did not do his job and instead enjoyed plundering the population every day.

However, everything has changed now. The various noble families have taken the initiative to hand over the people they have been hiding!

This number far exceeded Yang Jian's expectations.

He originally expected it to be at most one million, but the actual situation was shocking.

The Sui Dynasty currently implements the military system, and the increase in population means that the country can gain more benefits.

Therefore, Yang Jian has been working hard to conduct a population census for many years.

However, the number of people hidden by the noble families actually reaches millions!
This discovery left Yang Jian stunned, and he couldn't help but marvel at the methods of the aristocratic family.

Yang Jian felt that if the noble families had not voluntarily handed over the information, even after another ten years of effort, it would be difficult to find out such a large number of concealed people.

Despite this, Yang Jian believed that even after this large-scale surrender, some aristocratic families might still have a portion of their population hidden that had not been revealed.

But no matter what, the actions of the noble families this time have given him a huge surprise.

Yang Jian sighed: "Sure enough, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below!"

"Your Majesty, according to what Emperor Ming and Emperor Long said, the times are constantly developing and progressing, and later dynasties are often more prosperous and powerful than previous dynasties. I would like to ask, when can we go to visit other dynasties?"

"Yes, it is said that one never stops learning. I, an old minister, also want to learn some advanced knowledge!"

"Especially the Great Dragon Dynasty, a powerful dynasty with an area more than three times that of the Great Sui Dynasty and a population more than ten times that of the Great Sui Dynasty. What kind of situation is it?"

"I heard there are several more dynasties to come. Maybe there will be some good policies that are worth learning from."

Yang Jian naturally knew what these people were thinking.

All these visits and study tours are fake.

I just want to see what happened to the aristocratic families in later generations, and whether it is possible to find a way for the emperor and the aristocratic families to advance and retreat together.

"Alas, we have just experienced a great war and the treasury is empty. When we go to other dynasties, we must bring some gifts. Now I can't even take out gifts. Let's wait until the treasury is full!" Yang Jian said embarrassedly.

When the ministers around saw this, they cursed the tyrant king in their hearts!
Telling lies with your eyes open!
The various treasures brought back from Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje alone would be enough to burst the treasury of the Sui Dynasty.

However, I also know that I have to continue bleeding.

"I never thought that the Great Sui Dynasty would be in such a difficult situation. As an official of the Great Sui Dynasty, I cannot ignore the country's difficulties. I have a small fortune at home, and I am willing to contribute a part of it to help the country through the crisis!"

"Since my family is poor, I will give out one million dan of grain and an additional 100,000 guan to help the court tide over the difficulties temporarily."

"I have some food and money at home that I don't need for the time being, so I can support the court."

The officials present cursed in their hearts, but their faces showed expressions of concern for the country and their sincerity.

Yang Jian was delighted.

I have never been so pleased with my officials.

They lined up one after another to present their belongings.

Yang Jian was so happy that he specially arranged a royal banquet to entertain everyone.

A few days later

Zhu Ming reappeared in the Kaihuang Sui Dynasty.

When preparing to leave.

Yang Jian walked over and said, "My dear brother, the officials under my command have heard that other dynasties are developing rapidly, and they all want to go and see it. I wonder if it would be convenient for you, my dear brother?"

"It's convenient. When do you plan to go?"

"It depends on when you have time, brother. We can do it anytime."

"If that's the case, why not do it now!"

"Okay, brother, I'll go inform them right away!"

Daxing City.

Many officials from aristocratic families have not been going anywhere recently.

It concerns the fate of the family, and everyone is waiting for the day when they can go to other dynasties.

To avoid accidents.

All the playboys were tied up at home to prevent them from going out and causing trouble.

After receiving the notice, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and gathered in the palace.

Looking at the two to three thousand people gathered together, Zhu Ming looked at Yang Jian in surprise: "So many people?"

Yang Jian smiled awkwardly: "We all want to broaden our horizons and find ways to cooperate and achieve win-win results. If you think there are too many people, you can filter out some of them."

"That's not necessary. It's just that if you suddenly go to another dynasty, you may not have prepared so much food."

Yang Jian and other officials thought it was something else.

When it comes to life and death matters, it’s no problem to go hungry for a whole day, let alone a meal.

Daqin
The First Emperor is working.

A eunuch hurried over to report:
"Your Majesty, in the teleportation square, Lord Potato brought several thousand people and said he was here to visit Daqin."

"Visiting Daqin?" The First Emperor was a little confused. "I understand. You entertain them first and I'll be there soon. Oh, and notify the canteen to prepare more food."

A specially opened teleportation square.

Zhu Ming appeared with the officials of Kaihuang Sui Dynasty.

"This is the Great Qin Xianyang Palace, a square specially opened up for teleportation."

Yang Jian looked at the wide square and thought for a moment: "Yes, I will open one in the palace as soon as I return."

"Hahaha, I was wondering why the magpie was calling. Turns out a distinguished guest is coming. Old Yang, Xiao Zhu, why did you think of my Great Qin?" The First Emperor walked over laughing.

Zhu Ming introduced him to the others: "You must have heard of this one, the Great Qin Shi Huangdi!"

Those who followed were all heads of aristocratic families or representatives of various aristocratic families. Regardless of their character, they were definitely knowledgeable.

Naturally, I know who the First Emperor is.

His face was filled with shock, and he straightened his clothes and bowed.

"Descendants have seen His Majesty the First Emperor!"

"No need to bow, everyone!"

Zhu Ming said: "This is not the Kaihuang Sui Dynasty. If they want to visit various dynasties to learn from them, I will take them here to visit."

"I see. If you want to know anything, I will personally take you on a tour."

There were also occasional exchanges and visits between the dynasties, especially the Qin Dynasty, which visited other dynasties the most. (End of this chapter)
