Emperor Sui Yang

Feng Yuzhi's straightforwardness is quite likable, and the emotional impulse comes and goes quickly.

According to the customs in Lingnan, if you wear a toothbrush, you are allowed to marry, but if you take off the toothbrush, you are not allowed to marry, so Yang Ming accepts it with peace of mind.

As soon as he woke up in the morning, Xu Jing, who was guarding outside the tent, came in.
"Danyang prefect Xiao Xuan has been waiting for you outside the tent for an hour, do you want to see me?"

This kid is really good, the local chief can't leave the territory without reason, what excuse did he use to come out?I used to live on empty pay in Jiangxia County, but now I'm a prefect, so why don't I do business?
After Yang Ming swung Yan Xiaotang back, he ordered Xu Jing to bring him in.

When we met in Jingzhou last time, Yang Ming was still the King of Hedong and the governor of Jingzhou, but now, Yang Ming is the most honorable among the princes of the Sui Dynasty.

As soon as Xiao Xuan came in, his back was not straight, and he kept a humble posture. It happened that Yang Ming hadn't put on his shoes yet, so the other party hurried over and wanted to put on Yang Ming's boots.

He is obviously a son of a family, or a local prefect, and he has a strong businessman's aura on him.

"Cousin don't need to be so alien, you and I are cousins ​​after all," Yang Ming snatched the boot, not giving the other party this chance.

Xiao Xuan then went to the hanger to get a coat, put it on Yang Ming, and then added some carbon to the fire.

Too tactful, Yang Ming asked: "My cousin came to see me, must something be wrong?"

Xiao Xuan nodded, came to Yang Ming, bent down and said, "Yesterday Your Highness went to the camp, but I dare not show up to meet you, because I have sneaked out today."

This is a smart person who first took the initiative to answer the question that Yang Ming was most concerned about, and told the truth without asking for anything.

Danyang County consists of three counties, Jiangning County, Lishui County, and Dangtu County, which belong to Xiazhong County, so Xiao Xuan's grade will not be very high, but Jiangning County is Nanjing, and Lishui County is the Nanjing of later generations Lishui District, Dangtu County is Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province.

These three places, adjacent to the Yangtze River, belong to the absolute rich land, and the oil and water are gone.

Yang Ming couldn't help laughing and said, "It's worth a cousin sneaking over. Is there anything urgent to be done when you come to the capital?"

"Yes, I came to the capital just to see you," Xiao Xuan said:

"To be honest, Your Highness, the family's water transportation business has never been changed since I took over it at the age of 16. I have also worked hard and never made mistakes. This time, I suddenly changed to a collateral child. I can't untie this knot in my heart. That's why I took the liberty to ask His Highness."

Yang Ming pretended to be stupid and said, "You know, I never ask about the matters of my mother's mother's family, and I understand what you mean, but you are looking for me, you are looking for the wrong person."

"Definitely not," Xiao Xuan said, "Seventh uncle (Xiao Yu) has already greeted the family, let us cooperate with the Dugu family, the elders guessed that it should be the Queen's intention, His Highness is close to the Dugu family, can you A minister's words are more effective than anyone else."

In fact, Xiao Xuan knew very well that it was probably Yang Ming's idea to replace him. Who made him get involved with Yang Hao?

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Danyang County is a rich and prosperous place. If you don't do a good job as a county guard, why do you think about doing business all day long?"

"I made His Highness laugh," Xiao Xuan said embarrassedly: "Uncles are also scolding me, saying that I don't do my job properly, but I just like to drive the fleet on the big river, and do business with people from the south to the north. Being an official is not what I want."

This is really a strange thing. It is really rare to come from an aristocratic family who does not want to be an official but wants to do business.

It's like Yang Ming's third uncle, Yang Jun, who was born to be the kind of person who is in the eye of losing money. He is closer to seeing money than to seeing his parents.

Xiao Xuan's being scolded in the family is considered light, and people like this should be beaten, or directly expelled from the family, because Xiao Cong, Xiao Xuan's father, is Liang Guogong, such a big title is waiting for him, he actually went to Run the tank boat?
Historically, Yang Guang first gave Liang Guogong to Xiao Cong. After Xiao Cong died, his fifth younger brother Xiao Xun inherited the title, and Xiao Xun's eldest son Xiao Ju inherited the title after Xiao Xun's death.

The branch of Xiao Xun, the fifth son, produced seven prime ministers and three son-in-laws in the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "As the prefect, if you don't take charge of the government affairs of the area under your jurisdiction, it will cause criticism, it's inappropriate."

"If Your Highness can find a way to get rid of my prefect and let me manage the family's water transportation, I can only be grateful," Xiao Xuan said.

Yang Ming was dumbfounded
There is a specialization in the art industry, this f*ck is definitely a talent, it belongs to doing a job and loving a job.

"I don't have the ability," Yang Ming said with a wry smile, "I wouldn't do it either, so you should get rid of this idea as soon as possible."

"The water boats are all mine, and others can't take over," Xiao Xuan said anxiously, "Only I can manage them well. The water gangs in the Jianghuai area all give me face, and only I can persuade Wang Shichong not to use water transportation. "

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Why can you persuade Wang Shichong?"

"This man is double-faced, although he was once an aide of the King of Qi, he is not loyal. He is greedy for small profits without great righteousness, so he is easy to bribe," Xiao Xuan said.

Yeah?In history, everyone has claimed the title of emperor, but you Xiao Xuan owes nothing in the history books, so you think you can handle a hero who has a long history?

Based on this sentence alone, Yang Ming was not optimistic about Xiao Xuan. In the Sui Dynasty, those who didn't like power and liked money were actually idiots.

Those who do business will never be able to compete with those who are officials.

And he felt that this person was spineless and unreliable.

"I really have no choice, don't say any more," Yang Ming said in a more serious tone.

Xiao Xuan didn't dare to speak any more, so he had no choice but to back out obediently.

Early in the morning, Gao Yue disappeared, because Changsun Sheng's daughter-in-law, Gao Shi, also came for this year's spring outing.

She was not looking for a wife for Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Sheng's third son, Anye.

The eldest grandson, Anye, is 23 years old this year. He belongs to the old Lai who is on a spring outing. He has been here for six consecutive years, and his family has failed.

First of all, he is not the eldest son, and the eldest grandson Sheng doesn't value it very much. Secondly, this kid is a drunk, lustful and gambling man, and he is a person with all five poisons.

It's not that Changsun Sheng didn't want to care about it, he beat and scolded him, but it was useless, and in the end he just ignored it, whatever he liked.

There is also a reason why the eldest grandson Anye became like this. This kid is the prison general of Yanxingmen, the east gate of the capital. He has a lot of money, and he is not short of money at all. If he spends today, he will have it tomorrow. He can make money every day. day-end positions.

To put it bluntly, he was corrupted by money.

Mrs. Gao is the stepmother of the eldest grandson Anye. She is more concerned about the marriage of this stepson, although she is not a few years older than the eldest grandson Anye.

At noon, Gao Yue came back, holding the embarrassed Gao Shi.

Her embarrassment has two meanings.

First of all, from the first time she saw Yang Ming, something was wrong. She couldn't say that feeling, as if she should have a husband of Yang Ming's age, but married an old man like Changsun Sheng, so she had feelings for young men. A sense of mystery and curiosity.

What's more, coming over at lunch time is equivalent to coming to grab a meal, so I must be embarrassed.

Yang Ming put down his chopsticks, and told Xu Jing to hurry to the kitchen to get some more dishes, and then asked Gao to sit down.

Gao didn't dare to sit down, but was forced to sit down by Gao Yue.

"My younger sister has encountered some difficulties, and I hope His Highness can help me," Gao Yue took off the curtain, and since the incident with her younger brother Gao Lande happened, she dared not let anyone see her face. She even looks forward to getting old soon, and when she is old, no one will miss her body anymore.

Of course, before that, she hoped that Yang Ming would pamper her.

One came to ask for help in the morning, another one came at noon, is there any more in the evening?
Yang Ming nodded and said, "It's okay, let's talk."

Gao Yue said: "An Ye fell in love with a girl from the Pei family. This child's reputation is not very good, and she was afraid that the girl would dislike her. That's why my sister thought that if His Highness can help, this matter can be accomplished."

It's really awkward to call this sister out of your mouth. Although you are older than Gao Shi, you look much younger than her.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Which one is from the Pei family?"

"Secretary Provincial Author Lang Peisi, her daughter is sixteen this year, so she is just right for An Ye," Gao Yue laughed.

The eldest grandson Anye, the person who drove the eldest grandson Wuji and his sister out of the family in history, is not a thing. Although Yang Ming has never met each other, he has no affection for him at all.

"How old is An Ye?" Yang Ming asked.

Gao quickly whispered: "23."

When she said this, she sneaked a glance at Yang Ming, and found that Yang Ming was also looking at her, and immediately lowered her head shyly.

My god, can you not do this?Yang Ming was speechless.

Gao Yue also noticed something strange, looked at Gao Shi, then at Yang Ming, his face was full of doubts.

Yang Ming just wanted to send the other party away as soon as possible, so he said: "I will let someone say hello, whether it can be done or not depends on others."

After finishing speaking, Yang Ming slipped out of the tent and went to Yan Xiaotang's place.

After meeting Yang Ming, Xiao Xuan immediately left the camp and headed towards Luoyang.

Yang Hao has now taken people to Luoyang to prepare for the opening of the North-South Canal.

After all, there are a few of the staff of Prince Qi's mansion who understand the overall situation. They are also afraid that they will squeeze Hebei too much and cause civil unrest, so they advise Yang Hao to marry Feng An's daughter in Lingnan, so that they can be transferred from Lingnan. Some food to meet urgent needs.

This place in Lingnan used to be very short of food, because farming was not popular enough, and there was not a lot of farmland reclaimed. However, when Yang Guang was the general manager of Yangzhou, he had been trying to popularize Lingnan farming, because the best way to manage the people was to follow them. The land is tied together.

In Lingnan right now, there are a large number of new acres of land every year, and the grain production has been increasing year after year, and there is no shortage of food.

Although Feng Yuzhi told Yang Ming that they didn't have enough food for themselves, she was talking nonsense.

Really smart people don't reveal their wealth, and Feng An still expects to cry poor, so he can ask the court for some subsidies.

Yang Guang is not an idiot either, as a subsidy, this year he sent Sili not to drive Yang Wanqing to Lingnan to check the fields.
