Yang Guanggang’s face was full of amazement when he heard Xiao Xian interrupt him a little, but after listening to it, he immediately gave a wry smile with relief. Finally, he didn’t pursue it and said simply, "Are you still afraid that in the great cause of the year, the corvee of Jiangdong people will be allowed to transport grain from the north?" Now that I have given up Hebei’s erosive land, what are you afraid of? I still insist on this point, that is, I want the southerners to pay enough money and food to the imperial court. The Xiaoguo army has its own troops from the north, and it does not send the southerners to do military service or camp for grain transportation. Isn’t this a generous condition? "
"Father loves the people, but all the people are lucky, and I am also treading on thin ice, so it is rude just now."
"I don’t blame you-but there’s one more thing you have to worry about. Although I won’t let southerners cross the river, Danyang Palace needs to be repaired as soon as possible. Is it okay to build a palace in Danyang People’s County now that the southeast is rich?"
"I must as soon as possible … after that, it was just because I pacified Lin Shihong and occupied too many troops and financial resources, so I postponed it. I promised that my father would be willing to move the capital to Danyang Palace for half a year-it was a formal move to the capital … if it could not be built in the end, it would be expensive …"
"I don’t have to worry about this. How many people opposed it when I moved to Dongdu?"
"I was rude! I’ll do it. "
Chapter 35 Placement of Xiao Guojun
Xiao Xian just got back from Jiangdu Palace in the middle of the night in Danyang Jiangnan Road and devoted himself to the planning of Danyang Palace. He was born in the later generations and worked on the project. Although he didn’t personally manage this kind of construction for a long time, the emperor personally told him to build a new palace. Of course, he also had to personally sort out the terms and conditions.
Xiao Xian put a drawing scroll and was about to consciously raise my hand to greet the concubine Dugufeng to bring the ginseng tea. However, the satiny feeling at the tentacle made him quite familiar with the wives and concubines at home. He quickly reacted and changed people around him. Then he felt the mature and mellow smell carefully and knew that it was his wife Yang Jieying, Princess of Nanyang.
"Madam, what’s the matter with you? Why do you look like this when you come back from Jiangdu? What’s wrong with Dave or what’s wrong with you? "
Yang Jieying looked a little flickering and took the tea lamp to cover up "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, my husband did a good job. As the trend is already so today, my father wants to protect the southeast and other northern thieves from killing each other. This kind of thing has put too much pressure on the people in the south of the Yangtze River. My husband can share his father’s worries, and now few people in Bu Tian can do better."
Yang Jieying here seems to be a little absent and lost in memories for a long time before sighing and saying, "My husband’s body and mind are in a mess. Do you think my father will be able to restore northern Xinjiang in the future … Since ancient times, it’s a complete chaos. If you want to tidy up again, your father has been forty years old and his body is getting worse and worse … Alas"
Xiao Xian let go of the first thing and brewed an emotion. He knew that his wife was fierce. Over the years, although Yang Jieying didn’t know much about things outside, especially Xiao Xi and his grandson’s jealousy of Fang Xuanling, it encouraged him to "if anything happens to Yang Guang" and give birth to a conspiracy of disloyal advisers. It has always been absolutely confidential. However, Yang Jieying, after all, is knowledgeable and does not allow a man to obtain consulting channels. It is not surprising that he sees some hidden dangers more than ordinary court ministers.
But Xiao Xian doesn’t worry because he hasn’t done anything rebellious to protect and strengthen his own strength. This is also a local town that will protect itself and change its means. In other words, Tang gaozu didn’t survive until Yang Guang died before he rebelled. He Xiao Xian is now determined that Yang Guang should not be killed by others first, so he shouldn’t be innocent than Tang gaozu in the same period of history.
No matter how loyal Yang Jieying is to her father, she can’t ask her husband to be a complete fool. When her father is emotionally unstable and wants to cut her husband, he will be killed at any time. Besides, Yang Jieying knows the general trend of the world and has a political vision. She is also very pessimistic about Yang Guang’s many strategies for governing the country and earnestly exhorts her father. Therefore, she did not object to her husband developing his own influence curve to save the country, but felt that it was a remedial measure to correct his father’s political mistakes.
Xiao Xian knew how his wife was treated. After he finished brewing his emotions, he sighed wonderfully. "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Husband and wife as a whole and what is the decoration? My body, of course, want to hear the truth. "
"Husband didn’t tell his wife about some things over the years, but I believe that his wife also saw some clues. It’s really hard to say that he didn’t want to hide. Today, since it’s time to talk about this, he will say it." Xiao Xian took a sip of tea here carefully before continuing with grief. "My father’s suspicious wife also knew that uncle-I mean, our uncle Xiao-how can a husband be careless?"
Xiao Xian’s emphasis on "our uncle Xiao" is to prevent Yang Jieying from misunderstanding that he wants to say Xiao Cong instead of Yong Yang. Who makes Yang Guang’s name stink? Whether it’s a big brother or a big uncle?
"Husband, the national riot mercenaries to collect money privately, these are all there, but if the southeast sea trade benefits and overseas sea salt wealth are known by outsiders, can these money and food be used to save the people from the chaos? Now, can my father see the day when the imperial court crossed the Yellow River again? That’s the selfishness of my father. If anything happens to my father, it’s hard for me to have a soldier to support the prince. After all, my husband and the king of Qi have a little holiday, although it’s not big, but the narrow-minded lady of the king of Qi also knows that you and I have a moon fairy, and it’s hard for me to let my father set up his grandson and not stand again. If my father’s testamentary edict doesn’t want to do so … I want to protect my husband from being loyal to the big Sui and not to a certain
Yang Jieying nasty hurriedly cover Xiao Xian mouth "say what muddy words! It’s really urgent at that moment. Isn’t it my nephew? Moon Fairy has promised her husband, and it’s normal for her mother to treat you like a concubine, and her temperament seems to be very kind. One day, he won’t treat her second brother … It’s just that her husband may promise not to find the fault of her second brother? "
"This is too hard? If the true sense of honor and birthright are settled, it will not be difficult for the king of Qi to be too hard on himself. "
Xiao Xian and Yang Jieying followed up with some private messages, including Xiao Xian, who showed off his wife’s desire to die. Of course, it was not humane. Although Yang Jieying was thirty years old, she was still not trained by a young concubine in Xiao Xian. Of course, it was not a chore. Xiao Xian, the boss, finally stabilized his wife’s emotions completely. The other party had a bad association because of seeing Yang Guang this time and because Yang Guang had become too decadent.
Lying is a kind of thing that is mixed with truth and falsehood to be effective, especially when cheating on his wife. Xiao Xian knows well how strong his wife is in history and how loyal she is to Da Sui and her father. If Xiao Xian really has to take the road of directly opposing Yang Guang, he may suffer from the pain of divorcing his wife one day, and he hopes that this day will not come.
……
But I don’t say that after Xiao Xian calmed down the backyard, these days have been somewhat stable. It seems that he has returned to the great cause five years ago. At the beginning, Xiao Xian didn’t show any military talent. Only by building canals and palaces can management and design please Yang Guang.
Now, he also acts as if he was preoccupied with Danyang Palace, directing the leveling and repairing every day. When Nanchen was abandoned by the Sui Dynasty, Taicheng ruins were rebuilt, and then the northern edge of Taicheng was circled several times wider than the depth of Liang Chen’s palace, and everything such as burning bricks, quarrying and adjusting wood was personally asked, just like a real contractor.
Yang Guang just south of Xiao Xian, it is natural to show his evil side as far as possible, even if he doesn’t beg for goodbye, at least make sure to strengthen his impression in the heart of Nanwenwu.
Seeing that Xiao Xian is so quick that Yang Guang’s heart can be suspicious and gradually dissipate, he tries to ask Xiao Xian for more money and food to reward the court officials with Nan Xiao Guojun. Xiao Xian is also responsive to this requirement, and Yang Guang doesn’t have to personally ask whether it is necessary to increase taxes and apportion things. Anyway, Yang Guang will give as much money as he wants, and in two months, he will squeeze out nearly four or five million yuan of money and two million stones of food, so that Yang Guang can give almost everyone in South officials a hundred dollars, settle down for officials and rent-seeking mansions; The soldiers of Xiao Guojun were paid extra for half a year-all of which were accumulated over the years, and some of them were made up for the second time to buy people’s hearts.
Xiao Guojun has a total of 300,000 people, but it will definitely leave a gap in the battle for many years. Especially last year, Yanmen County lost more than 50,000 soldiers in a bloody battle with Turks. There are always 70,000 disabled and retired soldiers. This part has not been able to make up for Yang Guangnan’s southern tour this year. After all, it has not been officially moved. It is planned to wait until Jiangdu has a firm foothold before announcing that Xiao Guojun naturally cannot follow Yang Guangnan to separate some troops to stay in Daxing and Dongdu.
Therefore, this time, following Yang Guangnan’s Xiao Guojun, there are 170,000 people left, and the first batch of generals commander-in-chief Yang Guang took the last resort to replace the Dongdu and Daxing Xiao Guojun as far as possible with the old, weak and down-beat soldiers, while replacing the elite troops with their own troops. Yang Guang is not going to fill the vacancy in the future, but it seems that the remaining soldiers can wait until he arrives in Huainan, and then slowly recruit some troops from Huaibei and Jiangnan to replenish the Xiao Guojun at hand to 300,000 full staff.
This is also to prevent putting eggs in a basket from being too risky. Yang Guang is not the kind of idiot. When he went south, Xiao Guojun foot soldiers were reluctant to go south because most people were in their hometown and Heluo. If all of them depended on these soldiers to protect themselves, Yang Guang’s heart was not at ease. He planned for a long time. Of course, it would take several years for Xiao Guojun to gradually increase the proportion of southern soldiers in order to live safely in Jiangnan.
However, this long-term plan can’t be completed in three years and five years. Yang Guang still needs to rely on the north to come to Xiao Guo. The military leader needs to make a combination of punches in a short time to stabilize the hearts of Xiao Guo’s soldiers.
From September to November, Xiao Xian has paid 5 million yuan for taxes and government-run business in Jiangnan Province. It is said that it is a pity that by the end of November, Yang Guang finally threw out a bigger sale and not only money can solve the problem, but also specially summoned Xiao Xian once.
……
"What? Father, this thing … Father is still in his prime, but the harem is already … Already … Please don’t choose people’s xiunv on such a large scale. "
After seeing Yang Guang in Jiangdu Palace, Xiao Xian, after listening to Yang Guang’s first sentence, he was stunned-Yang Guang actually asked him to choose 100,000 unmarried women among the people in Jiangnan Road for several years. Xiao Xian also lost his mind and Yang Guang was crazy. There are so many harems and beautiful women in Xiyuan, and there are so many women who give him dragon boats to pull the fiber, and they are also extravagant.
"Don’t think slanting! No unmarried woman is a widowed widow in the war, and it’s not because you think that way! "
"Widow will do? Father, this is detrimental to the dignity of the family … "
"F * * king! I haven’t said what to do yet-these women are leaving their families in the north, and the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army are remarried in the south. Do you think I am really a hungry person? "
Xiao Xian wiped a cold sweat and hurriedly misunderstood Yang Guang’s apology just now. Fortunately, Yang Guang also knows that Xiao Xian is good for himself, and this is a private summons rather than a discussion. When he heard that there were not many people, Yang Guang didn’t lose any face, so he was very punished.
But is it so easy to find a hundred thousand ordinary women? In those days, from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, because the Southern Dynasty was regarded by the Han people as the "Northern Wei" department, compared with the previous Northern Dynasties, the Han people’s rule made this understanding slightly changed, but it was still not thorough-after all, Emperor Wen of Sui and Yang Guang were from the Hongnong Yang family, but they changed their Xianbei surnames in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Emperor Wen of Sui.
Therefore, it is really difficult to make the Jiangnan people voluntarily marry their daughters to the northerners Xiao Guojun soldiers on a large scale without a little compulsory administrative means, and there is no way to reverse the stubbornness of this era
"Pursuit … hundreds of thousands of people are afraid that Jiangdong will not be able to gather together these many women who are about to marry for several years, and if they are forced to promote them, they will be afraid of more violent rebellion. I hope my father will think twice!"
"Why not? Isn’t it duty-bound to ensure the long-term stability of the Sui Dynasty and whether the imperial court can keep a firm foothold in Jiangnan Road? Do you know that I have brought the number of 20,000 ladies-in-waiting in the West Garden to the south from the east to the south? Now, except for hundreds of me who have been favored, I have been rewarded * * as a distribution for Xiao Guojun, but there are wives or family members in the South Baiguan who have left the North, so I am so patient. Can’t you still do well? It’s not so good to give ordinary foot soldiers and women. Lin Shihong just heard that 200,000 to 300,000 people died in Jiangxi. When I didn’t know that most men died in wartime, women left you to register Jiangxi’s redundant widow’s first book and give them a way out to marry Xiao Guojun soldiers’ wives and concubines. People appreciate you coming. "
