"Why is Mr. Lang so troubled?" Just when Yang Ji was thinking a lot, Xiao Ying had returned from bathing. Her slender figure was wearing a lake-green palace dress, and her hair was meticulously coiled up. The hair is in a bun, with a gooseneck and a beard, and the girl is elegant.
This bride has been well moisturized recently, her beautiful cheeks are white and rosy, her beautiful eyes are full of water, and even her slender and green body seems to be plumper. There is a light and mature charm in her. There was quiet diarrhea all over the body.
Yang Ji came back to his senses and said to his beloved wife: "I feel that the Sui Dynasty is following the old path of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty that unified the world has remnants of the six kingdoms. And in our Sui Dynasty, we not only have descendants of the Qi Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty , descendants of the Chen Dynasty, and a large number of powerful aristocratic families. However, every current government decree of the Sui Dynasty is violating the interests of these aristocratic families who seem to be friends and enemies, and do not distinguish between friends and foes. How can these people Can they sit back and wait to be killed? I'm worried that these people will rebel against the Sui Dynasty one day."
"Why is Mr. Lang so worried?" Xiao Ying thought that Yang Ji was worried about books. She knelt down beside Mr. Lang and said softly: "The northern gentry are different from the southern gentry. During the Yongjia Rebellion, the southern gentry Although the move of crossing the south was suspected of lack of strength, it also showed that these people were unwilling to associate with foreigners. Although some northern gentry people fought with foreigners, more people exploited foreigners, colluded with foreigners, and made profits from them. When it came to the confrontation between the north and the south, When Zhou and Qi were enemies, the northern gentry all fell in love with each other and became disgraceful people. These people always put their family first and could not get along with the royal family and the people. I think that in extraordinary times, we should do something extraordinary. If Mr. Lang allows them to make trouble, he will be fulfilling his responsibility and betray the trust of the saint and the prince in Mr. Lang. Mr. Lang does not need to worry about it. "
Yang Jishen nodded in agreement.
To this day, the officialdom in Hebei is still dominated by northern gentry. This political situation makes Yang Jian and Yang Guang worried. Yang Jian originally wanted Yang Ji to be the general manager of Jizhou, but the purpose was to let Yang Ji break this situation. This is an unhealthy political situation, but Yang Ji is too young and has little experience. Yang Jian didn't want to scare the snake, so he asked Yang Ji to go to Liangzhou for training first. Now that Yang Lun is appointed as the general manager of Yanzhou, he is actually starting from the periphery, step by step breaking the monopoly of Hebei's officialdom by the northern gentry.
The anti-Sui uprising in history also first started in Qizhou, Beizhou, Dezhou and other places. These areas were the core areas of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and there were many Northern Qi officials and their descendants. These people first failed in the war between Zhou and Qi, and then lost to the Guanlong nobles in the Sui Dynasty. Under the joint strangulation of the Guanlong nobles, they generally lost power. They did not agree that the rule of the Sui Dynasty was normal. In history, Wang Bo, Meng Rang, Lu Mingyue, Gao Shida, Gao Kaidao, Zhang Jincheng, Dou Jiande and other anti-kings are almost all inextricably related to the northern gentry and the Northern Qi royal family.
Therefore, in the so-called peasant uprising, the peasants were nothing but cannon fodder used by the descendants of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the northern gentry to fight against the Sui Dynasty. Now that major events have been decided and the world has returned to the Tang Dynasty, the reason why Liu Heitai has been able to develop rapidly is not the last struggle of the northern gentry?
Seeing that her husband was thoughtful, Xiao Ying added: "Besides, the Sui Dynasty is different from the Qin Dynasty. The people in the Sui Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment and lived a prosperous life. As long as the royal family kept letting the people live like this, then the royal family would have tens of millions of people. As a shield, the Sui Dynasty will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai."
Between husband and wife, they share life and death, honor and disgrace. Although the two became an official couple not long ago, they have been together for a long time. Xiao Ying knows her husband's temperament well, so it seems very natural to talk about these political matters.
"You are right. But some things and some people are not what you think." Yang Ji reached out to hold her slender waist in his arms and sighed: "Human ambitions and desires are restricted by morality and law. Restrictions. If a person cannot stick to his inner bottom line and allows his ambition to grow uncontrollably, one day he will uncontrollably become a surly and cruel person and be cast aside by the world."
Ambition and desire need to be restrained and restrained by morality, laws, etc. However, the emperor on earth has the supreme power in the world, and nothing can limit him. If the emperor does more bad things, the less he will take them seriously in the future. When one day in the future he regards human life as nothing, then a dynasty will come to an end.
Therefore, as early as the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu, a very far-sighted man, racked his brains to concoct the theory of "Induction between Heaven and Man" in order to restrain the emperor's behavior. His original intention was not to fool the people, but to restrain the gods and ghosts that everyone respected. Emperor, let the emperor always adhere to the bottom line.
Even if the emperor doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, the ignorant people do! As long as the people of the world believe it, the huge power gathered by the people can prompt the emperor to give up some absurd behaviors.
In the early period, Yang Guang was also a great emperor with extraordinary grace, wisdom, prowess, diligence and love for the people. However, in the later period, because everything went smoothly, he began to unscrupulously regard the Sui Dynasty and the people of the world as his playthings. As a result, he began to regard the great empire as his own. The country suffered from internal and external troubles and desolation, and finally died and the country was destroyed, regretting it for thousands of years.
Xiao Ying let her husband's generous palms dance around her waist, knelt down in front of the table, poured tea with her bare hands, and asked with some horror: "Could the person you are talking about be the prince?"
"Shiming just said something that really worries me." Yang Ji shook his head and sighed: "I hope our worries are unfounded."
"Although I don't understand much about this, but based on the current situation, the prince will definitely be able to ascend the throne and become emperor in the future." Although Xiao Ying did not understand why her husband was so worried, she generally understood his thoughts and concerns. She thought for a while, Then he said softly: "My brother once said that the Nine-Five Supreme Being has the imperial power. Billions of living beings in the world are free to live and kill, and they can get whatever they want, but in this way, they have to get more. This is the insatiable desire." '. So whether the emperor or ordinary people, they must restrain themselves in everything, and the most important thing in life is to be content. Otherwise, you will lose yourself again and again. If the prince really loses himself one day, what will happen to Lang Jun and the world? Just give me some advice."
Yang Ji took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "The prince does trust and rely on me, and condones my willful behavior. The more I torment him in the future, the happier he will be, but this is different from my decision to oppose him. But now let's talk about this, It's still very early; if it comes to that, I will advise you."
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Yang Guang's before-and-after comparison can be traced. In the early stage, he was in power stably because Yang Zhao was not dead and Yang Jian was not deposed. But after Yang Jian was deposed, Yang Guang chose Yang Zhao's three sons as his successors. All subsequent actions began to be violent and eager. Woke up.
He seemed to be worried that his young grandson would not be able to control the world after his death, so he planned to eliminate the forces that threatened the imperial power in the rest of his life, so he launched the simple and crude Three Conquests of Goguryeo. This is exactly the same as Lao Zhu's method of helping Emperor Jianwen pave the way.
If the wise and talented Yang Zhao had not died and showed the ability to control the world, maybe Yang Guang would not be like this. But when he thought about Yang Zhao's health problems, Yang Ji had a headache again.
For the current plan, it would be best to let the Crown Princess seduce Yang Guang into bed and let the couple have more legitimate sons.
"In this case, you don't have to worry, otherwise it will be unfounded worry. Why bother?" Xiao Ying's arms wrapped around her husband's neck, her delicate body pressed against her husband's body, her voice was so soft that it seemed like dripping water. Come: "Mr. Master, I have been busy today. I have asked Qiuyue Qiuyue to prepare the bathing soup. You should take a bath and change clothes first."
The hot and humid breath sprayed on his neck, which made Yang Ji's heart tremble. He stood up and said with a smile: "Little goblin, wait and be your husband."
When Yang Ji came back from washing up, he didn't see Xiao Ying, but there was a crackling sound from the living room.
He walked over in confusion, only to see Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei sitting opposite each other in front of a desk. Each of them had several account books in front of them. They were dialing the abacus beads with their slender fingers. The crackling sound came from this.
"Mr. Lang, wait a moment. Rumei and I will check out these account books. They must be given to my mother tomorrow morning." Xiao Ying did not raise her head, and clicked the abacus beads with her slender jade fingers.
Yang Ji asked curiously: "Where does this account come from?"
"Auntie gave it to me." Xiao Ying raised her head and said to her husband: "Auntie will be in charge of the shops and caravans from now on, and Sister Rumei and I will be in charge of the income and expenditure of the house. These account books are the recent income and expenditure, and Wen Hanxuan's losses in the fire. These must be calculated."
Yang Ji said speechlessly: "Can't you just leave it to Master Gongsun and Manager Su? Why do you have to be so concerned about everything?"
"How can that be done?" Xiao Ying looked at her husband unhappily: "The loyalty of Mrs. Gongsun, Manager Su and others cannot be doubted. But it is hard to say about the store manager and others. Sister Rumei and I just want to do it as soon as possible Count the property in the treasury, and then reconcile the accounts with the accountant to see if there are any discrepancies between the accounts in the accountant and the money in the treasury."
Yang Ji shook his head in confusion.
Seeing this, Xiao Ying said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Lang, why are you shaking your head? What I'm telling you is business."
Yang Ji smiled and said: "Nothing, just take stock!"
"Then please wait a little longer." The two of them held a charcoal pencil in their hands, and they were still very flexible in making calculations, while the other hand was flipping through the account books.
Yang Ji was sitting on the side looking at his lovely wife and concubine. Their faces were as white as jade, with long and neat eyelashes, beautiful eyes that looked like paint, small Yao noses, and cherry mouths. In a word, In other words, both of them are extremely beautiful and pure. The difference is that the skin on Xiao Ying's face is very white and tender, while Liu Rumei's wheat-colored complexion also has a unique charm.
In terms of connotation, his two beautiful wives and concubines are also very different. The former has been aloof and noble since she was born. Her identity is inherently different from Liu Rumei, who was born at the bottom. As a princess of Xiliang, Xiao Ying's thoughts She and Liu Rumei are never on the same level; for the same reason, although Liu Rumei is Yang Ji's concubine, her thinking can never keep up with Yang Ji's rhythm.
This gap in concepts is caused by the living environment and status since childhood. Once this deep-rooted concept is formed, it is difficult to change due to other people and other environments. So the idea of Cinderella and the prince, the poor boy and the princess living happily ever after is a beautiful fairy tale.
If these two very different people live together, it may be okay at first, but if they get along for a long time, their ideas, concepts, and cultivation will inevitably diverge, and there will be more and more gaps between husband and wife.
Yang Ji and Xiao Ying are typical princes and princesses. This equal identity and concept will give them more topics to talk about in the future. When the couple was discussing things, Xiao Ying could catch up with Yang Ji and understand Yang Ji quickly, so in terms of innate conditions, she was much better than Liu Rumei.
Yang Ji picked up an account book and looked at it, but it was the gift book for his marriage to Xiao Ying. It recorded in detail the name of the person who gave the gift and the gift. Some rare treasures were even numbered. Judging from the beautiful handwriting, it was also written by Xiao Ying. Ying's handwriting, he said speechlessly: "Is it necessary for you to compile this number? You are just causing trouble for yourself."
Xiao Ying, who was interrupted by her thoughts, glared at her husband with some dissatisfaction and said coquettishly: "Mr. Lang, I don't understand. Officialdom pays attention to courtesy. If you repay the gift lightly in the future, or send back the gift given by others, you will be punished." They all say nasty things. Men are better off, but women in the boudoir compound have nothing to do and like to talk about these small mistakes. Don't underestimate this kind of inadvertent mistake. If this thing is made , it is often easy to offend people, and once it expands, it will be very bad for our reputation. If our reputation is ruined because of such a small mistake, it is not worth it."
It turned out that it was for his own sake that Xiao Yingcai put so much effort and careful numbering... But Yang Ji didn't think so.
Just because he and his wife had no reputation at all among the powerful people in the Sui Dynasty. Even if they did, they would still be notorious and infamous. Moreover, he has decided to fight the evildoers and lonely ministers to the end. What does he want to do with this good reputation?
However, it is not a bad thing that the beautiful wives and concubines are so attentive and careful. It would be bad if it dampens their enthusiasm.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", like a handlebar-style swing of a big whip and a whip exploded in mid-air. Liu Ru's eyebrows were raised, and an abacus bead hit the bamboo rung, making a loud sound. With an extremely loud sound, she said happily: "Okay! Finally, I have matched these two account books, and they are exactly the same as what the eldest lady calculated."
"Are you reconciling the accounts?" Yang Ji understood and asked with a smile.
Xiao Ying said: "It's easy for a person to make mistakes, so I'll check it with Sister Rumei. If it matches, there will be no problem. By the way, I have something to discuss with Lang Jun."
Yang Ji asked: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ying said: "Before the wedding, my mother-in-law asked me to learn how to be a master. I was taking inventory of the treasury and found that a lot of money was moldy and had a layer of green hair growing on it. There were also some gold and silver bricks. It has also turned into a real brick, which shows that there is a huge problem in moisture-proofing in the treasury. During the inventory tomorrow, these things will be moved out and inventoried. I plan to take this opportunity to renovate our treasury and improve moisture-proofing and fire-proofing. Do it well. What do you think, Mr. Lang?"
Yang Ji said: "You can just discuss it with my mother-in-law. What do you want me to do?"
"But Aniang let it go! She told me not to bother her with the little things in the house, and let me take care of everything myself." Before Xiao Ying started, Dugumin just taught her how to manage the accounts step by step, and The day after the wedding, Dugu Min threw all the account books to her. Xiao Ying felt grateful and speechless for her decisive mother-in-law.
I am grateful that my mother-in-law does not find fault with her daughter-in-law and oppose her daughter-in-law everywhere like others. What I am speechless is that my mother-in-law did not give her any time to adapt. In the blink of an eye, she dumped the huge family fortune to her as a bride. How can she manage it? Well?
"In that case, you can figure it out yourself." Yang Ji said.
Xiao Ying said "Oh", but then said: "There are also some priceless celebrities' calligraphy and paintings that are also affected by moisture and need to be taken good care of. There are also many copper coins of different sizes and weights, so the value is naturally It's different. It's okay if this kind of money is spent outside. If it's used to pay salaries to servants, those who get bad money will inevitably feel a little confused. So I think it's best to spend the money, or melt it into Copper ingot collection. What do you think, Mr. Lang?"
"you……."
"By the way! Our family has several shops in the East and West Second Market. It's okay to keep the collected money at home. But the fire in Wenhanxuan also reminded me that it's not enough for a shop to have a warehouse alone. It's best to find a warehouse. Create a relatively central store as the main store for goods transfer, then dig a fire-proof and moisture-proof secret room, and invite some knowledgeable people to take charge." Xiao Ying said it in one breath as if she was afraid of forgetting something, and after finishing speaking, she saw Yang Ji Ji was about to say something but hesitated, and couldn't help but ask again: "Do you think it's okay, Mr. Lang?"
Yang Ji's head was pounding, and he said with a wry smile: "Are there so many things that need to be arranged at home? I think everything is fine, uh... I still think that my wife is thoughtful. In fact, I don't know much about these things, you Whatever you think should be done, if you can't decide by yourself, just discuss it with Rumei."
Xiao Ying rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "That's what I say, but my mother-in-law doesn't care about us, and these things require a lot of construction work. If you don't nod, how can we make our own decisions? You are the head of the family, I don't ask Who else can you ask? I think it would be best..."
Xiao Ying's melodious voice soon turned into a lullaby, and she talked so much that Yang Ji fell asleep. Finally, it was Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei's dissatisfied calls that made her faintly wake up.
Seeing his beautiful concubine pouting and staring at him with a complaining expression, Yang Ji hurriedly said: "I'm just closing my eyes and concentrating! In fact, I have kept everything you said in mind. I think your idea is very good." , I will do as you say. And... you are Princess Wei and the master of the back house, so you can decide many things on your own."
"But I'm afraid of making mistakes." Xiao Ying said worriedly.
Yang Ji encouraged: "When I first became the governor and general manager, I made a lot of mistakes. Over time, practice makes perfect. Although you are also a novice now, you don't have to worry about anything. If you have any good ideas in your mind, you can just let it go. If you do it, even if it is unreasonable, the biggest improvement will be, and the small losses caused by mistakes should be regarded as lessons towards maturity."
"If you say that, I feel relieved." Xiao Ying smiled sweetly and said softly: "Sister Rumei and I will be busy for a while longer. You can go and rest yourself."
"Okay." Yang Ji nodded helplessly and walked to the master bedroom.
Xiao Ying felt a little sorry when she saw him alone. She originally wanted Liu Rumei to accompany her, but she looked at the account book next to Liu Rumei and thought that she couldn't do without her, so she said to Yang Ji, "If Lang Jun finds it boring, I’ll ask Qiuyue Qiushui to accompany you.”
Yang Ji said calmly: "No need, it's quite nice to be alone in this hot weather."
"Are you shy, Mr. Lang?"
"I didn't, you're talking nonsense."
"Then why don't you let Qiuyue and Qiu Shui accompany you?"
"Not used to it."
"They are my dowry girls, and they are also the people in your room. Sooner or later, these sisters will be yours, why are they so shy?"
Yang Ji said "I'm asleep" and stopped talking to Xiao Ying. He was afraid that if he continued talking, Xiao Ying would really stuff Qiuyue and Qiu Shui into the bed.
He felt that it was quite awkward to lie with another woman in front of his wife.
