After chatting for about an hour, Yang Yue left.
Yang Yinjiang also hurriedly found an excuse to get rid of the hospitable Yang Chan and came to have a private meeting with Yang Ming.
"Looking at you, it seems that you have reunited?" Yang Ming guessed that it was done just by looking at the other party's proud smile.
Yang Yinjiang knelt down in front of the coffee table, got herself a cup of fragrant tea, and said with a smile:
"It must be a coincidence. My grandfather has been in a good mood recently, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to mention this matter. Yesterday at noon, his old man had summoned Xu Deyan to see him. I hid secretly in the distance and gave him a call when I saw Xu Deyan leaving. Grandfather kowtowed a few times and guessed that it was done."
"Thank you," Yang Ming said with a smile.
After all, the other party did him a favor and had a very positive attitude. From this point of view, Yang Ming should thank him.
Yang Yinjiang smiled strangely, revealing her pair of shallow pimples: "I don't need you to say thank you."
"Then what do you want?" Yang Ming asked.
Yang Yinjiang held her chin and thought hard for a long time, shook her head and said: "I can't think of it yet. I will tell you when I think of it later."
Yang Ming nodded.
Although Yang Yinjiang has been acting more and more naturally in front of him recently, he always feels uncomfortable. From the very beginning, the other party has been able to obey Yang Yue's words, quickly approach him, and then help him make an appointment with Pei Shuying and help him intercede for Xu Deyan. , after the whole process, people will feel that she is very trustworthy.
But Yang Ming doesn't think so. This woman has a deep mind and is by no means as simple as she seems on the surface.
...
The next day,
After the court meeting,
Yang Jian left Yang Su alone and had breakfast with the emperor and his ministers in Liangyi Palace.
Because the court meeting is at Mao hour (5-7 o'clock), and the officials need to leave for the palace earlier, they basically don't eat breakfast, but carry some dry food with them to satisfy their hunger.
Except for people like Zhao Chuo who had room and board in the imperial city.
The ringing sound was heard, and Dugu Jialuo personally led the maid and brought several plates of pickles.
Seeing this, Yang Su quickly put down the porridge bowl in his hand and stood up to salute.
"You don't need to be formal, Lord Yue. Besides Gao Jiong, you are the second person who can come here to have breakfast with the Supreme Being."
"We are all very frightened," Yang Su said quickly.
Dugu Jialuo waved his hand: "Sit down, sit down, don't be restrained if I ask you not to be restrained, not to mention that You and Supreme are still members of the same family."
In the genealogy of the Sui Dynasty, it is clearly written that Yang Jian and his father Yang Zhong were both descended from the Yang family in Hongnong County (Huayin County, Shaanxi Province).
"Thank you, Queen, for your grace."
Yang Su pretended to be trembling and sat down.
Calling Yang Su here today is actually just a simple breakfast.
Don’t underestimate this meal, it’s a privilege.
In fact, many of the big guys in the Sui Dynasty had drank and dined with Yang Jian alone when Yang Jian was the Prime Minister of Otsuka in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, since Yang Jian became emperor, they no longer have this qualification.
Yang Su also knew very well that today's favor was due to his statement that day that he supported Yang Zhao as General Zuowuwei.
Throughout the meal, Yang Jian showed his trust in Yang Su, consciously or unconsciously.
The monarch and his ministers talked happily.
Yang Su also took this opportunity to tell the story of Xu Deyan and his beloved concubine Chen Yuhua.
He copied the story his granddaughter told him, because he felt that the story was so perfectly crafted, and it was difficult for Yin Jiang to put so much thought into it.
Sure enough, Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, and praised Xu Deyan for his deep affection, and even more praised Yang Su for his painstaking efforts to part ways with her.
The reaction after Dugu was even greater.
Because Chen Yuhua is Xu Deyan's first wife, and she is also Yang Jian's first wife. What wife doesn't want her husband to be loyal to her feelings?
What's more, the story told by Yang Su is so touching. The couple experienced the destruction of the country and were separated for more than ten years, but they were still reunited. This is simply a model for couples in the world.
For a great woman like Dugu Jialuo, this story is worth writing about.
Dugu Jialuo praised highly: "You have done a good job. It is rare that you are willing to bear the pain and give up my love. You can tell this story at the meeting tomorrow and let the ministers listen."
Yang Jian also echoed: "Especially the four characters of broken mirror and reunion, which have the effect of opening up the sect and clarifying the meaning."
"I obey the decree!" Yang Su knelt down in great joy.
If Yang Ming heard the conversation between the three of them, he would definitely understand the true thoughts of Yang Jian and his wife.
It looks like a story, but in fact the core focus is still on the relationship between husband and wife.
The wife here is the legal wife.
In the Sui Dynasty, all the first wives of civil and military officials had excellent backgrounds, and they were all daughters of big families.
And if Yang Jian and his wife maintain the relationship between their husbands and their first wives, they will invisibly gain the unanimous support of the principal wives.
Some big bosses’ first wives are even better than their husbands.
...
Jin Palace,
Xu Jing specially ordered someone to free up a warehouse to store Yang Ming's personal property.
Four boxes of gold and thirty-five hundred bolts of cloth.
As for the 2,300 acres of land deeds, they were stored in Yang Ming's residence.
It has to be said that Yang Yue is still thoughtful in doing things.
These two thousand three hundred acres of open air, that is, millet fields, are concentrated in one place, Fengyang County in Shangluo County (Zhenan County, Shangluo City).
It sounds like 2,300 acres of land is not a lot, but there are only 8,500 acres of open farmland in Fengyang County. The royal family, powerful families and landlords will divide it up, and it will really fall into the hands of the people of the county. There are less than three thousand acres in it.
And these three thousand acres are still being divided up.
During the Great Sui Dynasty, slaves could also be assigned fields. Five slaves could be assigned one acre of land. Therefore, many big families used this policy to defraud the country of their fields.
Going a step further, this phenomenon is not something Yang Ming can consider for the time being. If he dares to have an idea about land reform, Yang Jian will be the first to kill him.
For example, in Fengyi County where Yang Jian was born, 80% of the farmland belongs to the royal family. In Hongnong County, 20% belongs to the royal family and 40% is in the hands of the Hongnong Yang family.
In the entire Jingzhao County, there are 60,000 acres of royal land alone. This does not include open fields, hemp fields, rice fields, etc. distributed in other places. When these are added up, it is a huge number.
After much deliberation, Yang Ming still handed over the land deeds to Xu Jing to organize. These fields would eventually be handed over to some local farmers for cultivation, and he would just collect the land rent.
Of course, he also pays the taxes,
In Hedong County, Yang Ming collected taxes and then paid part of the fixed taxes to the national treasury.
If he wants to make more money in Hedong, Yang Ming can only exploit the big households. But in this way, those big households will inevitably exploit the landlords, and then the landlords will exploit the small people.
The whole thing is that the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.
Or do you say that you are kind and do not manage money... A person like Yang Ming, who has the correct values in his previous life, will not attack ordinary people.
So now he is worried about how to make money in Hedong.
Ten days later, Yu Wenzhiji was escorted to Beijing, and less than half a day later, Yang Guang entered Beijing.
However, after Yang Guang entered Beijing, he did not come to the Jin Palace immediately. Instead, he took Princess Xiao and went straight to the palace in plain clothes to pay his respects.
East Palace,
Yang Guang stumbled into the mourning hall, knelt down towards Concubine Yuan's coffin with a plop, beat his chest and cried:
"Sister-in-law...my poor sister-in-law...this is God's jealousy..."
Yang Yong on the side: "..."
Are you here for me? Grandpa and mother-in-law are not here. Who the hell are you crying for?
