Long before the Grand Canal, the Han emperor Han Wudi and his engineer Zhao Guo turned water into a weapon of state. In this episode, Lucas and Luna trace the lost canals and weirs that fed Chang'an's millions—the Zhengguo Canal, the Cao Canal, and the massive Tribute Grain System that floated tax grain from the Yangtze to the Wei River. They explore the corvée labor that dug these arteries, the political rivalries between eunuchs and ministers over water rights, and the environmental toll: deforestation, siltation, and the slow death of the Wei's flow. Along the way, they touch on the Shiji and Han shu records that preserve the names of forgotten hydraulic engineers like Xu Bo and Ni Kuan, and ask: did the canals build the empire, or did the empire build the canals? A story of concrete, water, and power. #HanWudi #ZhaoGuo #ZhengguoCanal #CaoCanal #TributeGrainSystem #ChangAn #HydraulicEmpire #WeiRiver #YellowRiver #HanDynasty #AncientEngineering #CorvéeLabor #Shiji #Hanshu #XuBo #NiKuan #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
