What are the famous "gambling on national luck" events in world history?

To say that in ancient times, gambling on national luck was the most famous thing that Yang Di did during his reign. The expedition to Koguryo tried to consume the domestic power, use the victory of the expedition to reform the domestic political power and completely eliminate the clan.

After the Grand Canal is built, I intend to bind our national movement with the Grand Canal. One day when the Grand Canal is here, the country will prosper one day. Prospering the national economy to replace the comprador economy led by aristocratic families. There is also the implementation of the imperial examination system, which broke the monopoly of the aristocratic giants on government officials before.

Running a school enlightens the people and completely cuts off the family foundation. Let the wisdom of the world no longer only come from the giants. Give children from poor families the possibility to realize their ideals.

From this point of view, it can be said that Yang Di made a century gamble, and it is hard to imagine what kind of wealth the Sui Dynasty had accumulated. The heyday of the Tang Dynasty was only one-fifth that of the Sui Dynasty.

If you win the bet, the Sui Dynasty will have no difficulty in breaking the spell of China's historical dynasty, which lasted only 300 years or even thousands of years. I'm afraid I can enter the industrial revolution one thousand years ahead of the world.

Unfortunately, the bet was lost on Emperor Yang Di.

Although he lost, the Sui Dynasty was still very strong. In nine cases out of ten, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the country was still able to subdue all directions, and the surplus grain of the Sui Dynasty could be used by the Tang Dynasty for twenty years. It is conceivable that when the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, it was a prosperous time.

During the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty conquered all directions, and its population was only one fifth of that of the Sui Dynasty. There were more than 2 million households in the Tang Dynasty, with 6.5438+million households. There were more than 9 million households and 50 million households in the Sui Dynasty. )

More than 20 years of war have left nearly 40 million people missing. And this gap, the Tang Dynasty used the high-impedance Li Yuan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. By the time Xuanzong Li Longji arrived, the population of the Tang Dynasty was barely comparable to that of the Sui Dynasty, but it surpassed the Sui Dynasty only after the heyday of Kaiyuan.

A war needs 100 years of recovery and the efforts of several generations of emperors.

In 37 years of Sui Dynasty, the peak lasted for more than 20 years. At the time of its demise, when the whole Sui Dynasty was still in a strong state, it had to be said that the gambling capital of Emperor Yang Di was very strong.

Bet on national luck, win the immortal dynasty, and stop everything if you lose.
