[State Building]: Set up the three ministries, the 26 commandries, and the six departments. They essentially established the government. Forced laborers completed public works in order to help cover taxes: road building, canal digging, grainery construction, palace building. Northern and Southern China were unified by the construction of the Grand Canal.

[Increased Contact and Trade]: The Grand Canal created in 605 sparked a transportation revolution. It was meant to be used by the military, but merchants took advantage of it to help spread trade.
