Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 606

Just after the New Year's Eve, there was good news from Taifu Temple. The entire papermaking process was shortened from one year to five and a half months, the efficiency was increased by nearly half, and the shipment volume increased greatly.

Yang Ming's method of using urine has obvious effects, and with the bearings, a larger waterwheel can be built, so the paper mill in Chang'an County is currently expanding its technical renovation. After the technical renovation is completed next summer, the output will increase by four. five times.

"There are two paper mills in Luoyang, and technical renovation is also needed right now. You sent someone from Taifu Temple to take charge of this," Yang Ming arranged at the court meeting.

Yang Lun is here at today's court meeting. He has participated eleven times, and each time he has gained something new, and each time his perception of Yang Ming has changed greatly.

Where is this prince?This is no different from an emperor.

Yang Lun was very surprised by Yang Ming's ability to oversee the country. Only now did he realize why he was the third child in the top position.

No wonder Yang Xiong repeatedly reminded him to be cautious in front of the prince. Yang Lun raised his head up from the first day, and now he has become as honest as everyone else, and he doesn't even dare to look at Yang Ming.

Those central bosses are submissive, but as a newcomer, it's better to keep a low profile.

After discussing in Taifu Temple, Yuanshou decided to let Shaoqing Wang Zhen go to Luoyang to be in charge of the construction of the paper mill.

Wang Zhen was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan, and he and Wang Gui, who just entered the East Palace, are cousins.

Yang Ming looked down at the files about the Luoyang Paper Mill. One of them was in the old Luoyang City, which is now Luoyang County, and the other was in the Eastern Capital City. It was the location that Yang Ming fixed when he supervised Luoyang.

The paper mill pollutes the environment very much. Fortunately, due to process limitations in Sui Dynasty, the wastewater discharged has very little pollution. In the paper mill in Dongdu City, the wastewater goes directly into Luoshui. With Luoshui's own huge purification system, that is Wastewater is really not worth mentioning.

After arranging the questions about the paper mill, Yang Ming looked at Yu Wenshu and said:
"Jiang Du ordered the Taichang Temple left after Duke Niu passed away, and Li Yuan took over. The position of Jing Zhaoyin will bother Duke Xu."

Yu Wenshu nodded and said: "The minister leads the decree to thank you."

Yang Ming nodded, looked at the ministers, and said, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Yu Shiji is now, but he will no longer be in charge of the internal inspection, and Gongren will take over, and at the same time, he will also be in charge of the audience platform."

Yang Gongren, who had already returned to Beijing, nodded.

That's why, they don't want to be let out. It's two different things to go once and for all. He used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Although he is also the head of the two departments, he is not half as powerful as the Ministry of Officials.

But this is expected, Yang Gongren can accept it.

Right now, the chief officials of the six ministries basically have experience in foreign places. It stands to reason that it is Xuangan's turn to go out for a few years, but he is different from others. The Crown Princess and the King of Qin will not let him go.

Now it is different from Kaihuang years, the conditions for the central officials to be released are no longer available. Yang Guang is too able to travel, and he takes away half of the court as soon as he goes out, leaving half of the court in the capital. It is difficult to operate, you can change it People, it will be more chaotic.

Then, Yang Ming looked at Fang Yanqian, the minister of Honglu Temple who had returned to the capital, and said, "Grand Niu's hometown is in Quaigu County, Anding County. His coffin will pass by the capital. You should pay homage on behalf of the court."

"I understand," Fang Yanqian nodded.

Anding County is located in Guanzhong, which is later known as Gaoguanwu County in Shaanxi Province. It is not far from the capital.

In fact, Yang Ming admired these officials in ancient times. With such poor traffic, he traveled all over his life and visited more places than later generations of Yang Ming traveled.

Of course, the difference is that they were on official business, while Yang Ming traveled at his own expense in later generations.

After going to court, Yang Ming went to Yang Lihua and brought the news to her.

Yang Lun, whose buttocks are still hot, is also here.

"He came to see you, because he hoped that you would show him the way." Yang Ming snatched the fried beans from Yang Lihua's hand, ate them himself, and said, "How many times have I told you to eat less of this."

You are not afraid of gallstones, you are not afraid of gout due to high levels of purine?

Yang Lihua clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Bin Zhen (Yang Lun's word is pronounced zhou) is always better than Yang Hao. He also knows to pay me a visit. Yang Hao is still my nephew. How many times has he visited me?"

Yang Ming waved his hand, let the butler who informed him go out first, and then said: "I don't like this person very much, I heard that he also likes out-of-the-box techniques, and he has the same virtue as the youngest in Yang Xiong's family."

Yang Lihua smiled and said: "He, he has been like this since he was a child. After his mother, Yu Wen used witchcraft to curse your grandmother back then."

"That's why I don't want to see him," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Yang Lun's biological mother is Yuwentai's daughter, Princess Shunyang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who offended Dugu Jialuo and was expelled from the family tree. Yang Lun's father, Yang Zan, also died of a strange cause. violent.

This is unclear, so Yang Guang has always rejected the Yang Lun brothers because he was worried that they would think that Yang Zan's death was related to Yang Jian, thus burying evil intentions.

Yang Lihua said: "The five of them are brothers. Although their behavior is perverse, I still know the bottom line. I want to take over the position left by Yang Xiong. They don't have that ability, but Yang Ji, the son of King Wei, is trustworthy."

Or it can be said that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Yang Zan and Yang Jian are of the same father and mother, and Yang Shuang and Yang Jian are of the same father and mother. Same.

Yang Ming said: "Over there in Jiangdu, I just asked for an order. Will my father agree to let him go to the court? You may not know that I just let him participate in the court meeting to save him. You don't know what happened that day. A bunch of guys from the clan almost forced me to express my opinion."

Yang Lihua laughed loudly: "Your grandpa has done good things, but in the end you have suffered. They have been exiled for so many years, and they must have complained. Once they are released, they naturally want to grab more rights. It's normal. You should hold back." They, don't blindly indulge, Yang Xiao is now attacking Zheqian (Yang Xiu's nickname) the King of Shu, this is your brother, he often comes to my place recently, let him and Yang Hao help you more in the future. "

Yang Ming nodded: "Yang Hao, Yang Xiao, Yang Ji, and Yang Hao (Yang Liangzi) are still young, and we must rely on them for entrusting important tasks in the future. Yang Lun and I have no friendship at all."

Yang Lihua smiled: "You hide behind and listen to what he is doing here."

Yang Ming nodded, and went down to the inner hall under the guidance of the maid.

"After returning to Beijing, I haven't visited my elder sister yet. Are you okay?" Yang Lun's voice came from the outer hall.

Yang Lihua said indifferently: "You are a nobleman, so you forget things. You can remember to win over the clan, but you can't remember that there is still me as the elder sister?"

Yang Lun panicked and said, "That's why I'm here today to plead guilty to elder sister. My younger brother is ignorant, so don't bother with me."

"Sit down," Yang Lihua waved her hand.

The two of them are serious cousins. Yang Lihua was very prosperous in the first half of her life, and she was the backbone of the entire old Yang family. Not only her own brothers feared her, but also his cousins ​​feared her.

She is the elder sister of the family.

"I heard that the crown prince asked you to go to court?" Yang Lihua asked.

Yang Lun hurriedly said: "My younger brother has been attending the court meeting for more than ten days, and he is unfamiliar with government affairs. Recently, he is getting acquainted with the provincial government. The official duties are too heavy, so that he can't spare time to visit the eldest sister. My younger brother is guilty."

Yang Lihua snorted, and said: "As soon as I returned to Beijing, I wanted to get power. You don't remember to eat, but you don't remember to fight. After suffering so many years in Wuwei County, you don't have a long memory?"

Yang Lun was taken aback immediately, and said embarrassedly: "The elder sister's lesson is that if you come today, you are here to listen to the elder sister's teaching."

Anyway, these are cousins, and Yang Jian is the eldest at home, so he took good care of his younger brothers. Without Yang Jian's protection, Yang Zan would have been accused and executed when the Sui Dynasty established the country.

It was Gao Xi who advocated killing Yang Zan back then. Because Yang Zan had tricked Yang Jian several times, Dugu Jialuo had already had murderous intentions. Gao Xi was Dugu Jialuo's spokesperson in the central government. He almost killed Yang Zan back then. It was saved by Yang Jian and Yang Lihua.

Therefore, Yang Lun truly loves Yang Lihua and regards her as a sister.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he had discussed with his brothers that the only way to avoid being dealt with in the future was to take power. It happened that Yang Xiong was about to die, so his brothers ran around to make arrangements and win over the clan, hoping to succeed Yang Xiong.

Every day is very busy, so I don't have time to visit Yang Lihua. Now that she has stabilized, she will naturally come to the Princess's Mansion more often in the future.

Not talking about family relationship, but just talking about Yang Lihua's influence, he had to curry favor.

Yang Lihua smiled faintly: "You remember, His Majesty gave you the opportunity, so you must seize it. After all, we are cousins. His Majesty punished you back then because you went too far. Now that you are restoring your title, you are also thinking about family ties. Now you are the eunuch. "Guo, you are supposed to be a good helper, but I heard that when you were with Yang Xiong, you didn't seem to have much respect for the prince."

"It's nothing, what bastard is talking nonsense?" Yang Lun shouted, "If I show any disrespect to the crown prince, I will be let off the horse and die."

Yang Lihua smiled and said: "It's not that serious, but you have to put away the thoughts of the elders, you are not the elders of the prince, you are a courtier, and you have had a lot of contact with the prince recently, how do you feel?"

Yang Lun made a gesture of wiping his sweat and said:

"The two sages cultivated them personally, and they are extraordinary people. The crown prince is the crown prince. It is my blessing in the Sui Dynasty. All the princes in the court respect the crown prince very much. That old fox Yang Yue was reprimanded by the crown prince and dared not make a sound at all. This is me. Unexpected."

Yang Lun is afraid of Yang Yue. After all, Yang Yue is notorious and everyone knows that he is not easy to mess with.

"Should I also reprimand Yang Hao?" Yang Lihua asked.

Yang Lun said: "The eldest sister really guessed right. Yang Hao received the most scolding. The crown prince doesn't seem to care much about Yang Hao's face."

"Really?" Yang Lihua sneered, "I also reprimanded you today, so why didn't I take your face into consideration?"

Yang Lun blurted out: "You are the eldest sister, and you admonish me for my own good."

"Isn't that right?" Yang Lihua said in a deep voice, "You are the one who is scolded by yourself. You, you don't even have the right to be scolded now. The first step in the future is to make the prince willing to scold you."

Yang Lun is also a smart person, suddenly realized:
"Brother will keep it in mind."
