Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 93 The Ancestral Home of Jiujiang
Since he is a concubine, he has no possibility of becoming a noble, and he has no qualifications to become an official under the shade, so he will not have much promise in the future.

It is impossible for Zhou Luohu to send his son to himself.

Fortunately, this Zhou Zhongmou is also familiar with the navy and is good at boating and ships. After all, he came from a family.

Moreover, he is very old now, and he has nothing serious to do. He heard from Chen Shuyi that Zhou Luohou intended to make his son a left guard and a right guard, as a Hou Wei who patrolled the streets, but no one gave him this face.

He is from the south, and the imperial guards of the capital are in the hands of the Guanlong Group. Who would take Zhou Luohou seriously?
Of the twelve guards in the Sui Dynasty, only the left and right guards, the left and right martial guards, and the left and right waiting guards were in charge of the imperial city's residential guards. These six guards were also the most elite. Among them, those who could stay in Daxing as guards patrolling the streets were all related households. It is not easy to force a person in.

When meeting Zhou Zhongmou for the first time, Yang Ming only asked him about some knowledge about ships, but the other party's answer was straightforward, which satisfied Yang Ming.

But other than that, Yang Ming didn't say much, but asked the other party to go back directly.

After they left, Chen Shuyi asked curiously, "What? Are you not satisfied?"

Yang Ming shook his head: "Very satisfied, but I don't trust you."

Chen Shuyi thought for a while and said: "Zhou Luohou is a loyal man. When he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, it was after King Jin invaded Jiankang that he took my father's handwriting to make him surrender. I saw Zhou Luohou, and he was still a courtier to me. The gift is very respectful."

"Let me remind you," Yang Ming said with a frown, "here, I don't care about it, but in the future, don't talk about father and king in front of outsiders, let alone talk about courtiers' courtesy, it's a taboo."

Chen Shuyi pouted and said, "Of course I know, I'll only tell you that."

After pondering for a while, Yang Ming asked, "Is this Zhou Zhongmo married?"

Chen Chen nodded and said: "Yes, my wife is from Jiangnan and has two sons, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Zhou Luohou's ancestral home is in Jiujiang, and their Zhou family is considered a rich and influential family in Jiujiang area. "

And this thing?That is really more coincidental than the story in the novel.

The Wuya warship is in Jiujiang, and Zhou Luohu's hometown is also in Jiujiang.

Yang Ming said: "How old are Zhou Zhongmou's two sons?"

"One sixteen, one fifteen, they are both adults," Chen Shuyi said.

Yang Ming asked again: "Are you married?"

"Not yet," Chen Shuyi replied.

Yang Ming was thinking, if Zhou Zhongmou were to go to Jiujiang to help him maintain the Wuya Ship, if he wanted to make the other party do things for him faithfully and pragmatically, he would either give him some pain or some sweetness.

This is Enwei.

Don't their old Zhou family really want to enter the Weifu?Then make arrangements for his two sons, so that Zhou Zhongmou will be grateful to him, so that he can do things with sincerity.

In ancient times, the biggest wish of parents is to have a good place for their children.

So Yang Ming went straight to his elder brother Yang Zhao for help.

The general of the Weifu is a remote leader and does not have the real command power in wartime. In wartime, the emperor personally appoints the chief commander of the march, and the chiefs of various ministries will be the vanguard.

For example, Shi Wansui, the general of the Zuo Lingjun Mansion, did not have the right to deploy troops. Apart from this, other affairs of the Zuo Lingjun Mansion were under his control.

The boss, Yang Zhao, is the general of Zuo Wuwei. Not to mention arranging a few Hou Wei, even a few school lieutenants and brigade commanders are also a matter of opening his mouth. After all, he is in charge of personnel appointments.

However, after Yang Zhao became General Zuo Wuwei, he only went to the military mansion a few times, and after he knew roughly who the important generals under his command were, he never went there again.

Therefore, the daily affairs of Zuowuwei Mansion are handled by two generals.

One was Li Hun, who was Yu Wenshu's brother-in-law. Later, this boy helped Li Yuan take a big scapegoat, and was executed by Yang Guang.

One named Zhou Fashang, who was originally an official in the Chen Dynasty, offended Chen Shubao’s younger brother, Changsha King Chen Shujian, and directly led his subordinates to defect to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Granted the post of General Zuo Wuwei.

On the other hand, my enemy Chen Shujian changed his name to Chen Shuxian to avoid taboo, and now he is in a miserable state.

After Yang Zhao met Yang Ming, he directly sent his servants to Zuowuwei Mansion to say hello, and arranged for the two boys to have a Houwei to patrol the city.

"You actually bought a boat?" Yang Zhao wondered.

Yang Ming corrected: "I didn't buy it, it was given to me by my aunt."

In fact, throughout the whole process, he told Yang Zhao in full detail that Yang Ming's behavior style has always been like this, earning trust with sincerity, don't always make up nonsense, few people are fools.

Of course, this also depends on the person's order, some people are not worthy of his sincerity.

Yang Zhao shook his head helplessly: "You don't move that thought, can the eldest aunt help you to come? You even got the Jinyang Tower? But it's okay."

As he said that, Yang Zhao laughed again and said, "Jinyang Tower is pretty good, it's a good place to meet friends."

"That's that, and it didn't cost any money, why don't you want it for free?" Yang Ming also followed suit.

Yang Zhao couldn't go out these days, and was watched by Concubine Xiao, and so was Yang Ming.

So when Yang Ming was free, he would take Jiancheng to wander around the palace, and he would often tell Jiancheng: the boss is stupid, the second is treacherous, and the third and fourth fly to the sky. Would you like to be a silly big brother?If you don't want to, then you have to teach your younger brother, especially the second child, carefully, and don't be soft-handed when beating him.

I don't know if Li Jiancheng understood or not, but he kept nodding anyway.

A few days later, Zhou Zhongmou came,

As soon as he saw Yang Ming, he knelt down and thanked him. He knew from Chen Shuyi that Yang Ming arranged for his two sons.

At this time, Yang Ming mentioned the matter of the five-tooth warship again, and it was a matter of course.

Zhou Zhongmou was originally born in Jiujiang, and there are many relatives and friends in his hometown. He can recruit hundreds of people to maintain the five-tooth ship for Yang Ming.

Yang Ming didn't intervene in what he would do, after all, he was a layman.

Before leaving, Yang Ming asked Xu Jing to prepare five thousand guan in money and two hundred bolts of cloth. Zhou Zhongmou didn't want anything, but after being reprimanded by Yang Ming, he reluctantly accepted it.

After all, the cost of maintaining a big five-toothed warship is definitely not small, and five thousand coins won't last long.

The next step is to wait for Yang Hao to get married.

These days, there was an endless stream of guests who came to the palace to congratulate him, and many local officials also sent congratulatory gifts. Yang Hao belonged to the clan, so his wedding was naturally presided over by the Zongzheng Temple.

Half a month later, the bride entered the mansion.

Yang Jian ordered that the curfew in Daxing City be suspended for three days, and the whole city celebrate.

That night, the Prince Jin's mansion was brightly lit, Yang Guang was entertaining dozens of bigwigs from the court, while Concubine Xiao had another table with some nobles from the south of the Yangtze River to have a good time.

The boss, Yang Zhao, was not idle either, and those who were not qualified to drink at Yang Guang's place gathered at Yang Zhao's place.

As for the second child, Yang Wei, he should be playing poker.

In comparison, Yang Ming's place is the most deserted, with only one guest: Yang Yinjiang.

If Li Jiancheng is also counted as a guest, there are two of them.
