Before Yang Su went on the expedition, he specifically asked his younger brother Yang Yue not to allow Yang Yinjiang to leave the house.
Zhang Qiu Taiyi's words: If this girl becomes a concubine, she may cause trouble, which is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of Yang Yinjiang marrying into the royal family.
This made Yang Su want to chop the opponent with a knife.
He now has an adult granddaughter. With his power, he doesn't like anything else except marrying into the royal family.
So on the way to the expedition, Yang Su and Yang Guang cursed Zhang Qiu Taiyi almost every day.
But his younger brother Yang Yue didn't seem to take his words to heart.
Yang Yinjiang can come and go freely and is not restricted at all.
"Why did you buy the horse?"
In a gambling room in the West City, Yang Yinjiang and Yang Ming sat looking at each other.
The walls of the wing room they were in were extremely soundproof. No matter how loud they spoke, they could not be heard outside.
Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang also chose this place as the place where they would meet in the future.
The population of Xishi is complex and difficult to notice.
Yang Ming's horse purchase was not concealed from the other party. At least for now, Yang Yinjiang was regarded as his absolutely reliable ally.
"During the spring outing to the camp, I saw your Yang family's cavalry. At that time, I had the idea to turn the soldiers of my future palace into a well-equipped cavalry. I happened to have some money on hand, so I Bought."
Yang Yinjiang nodded: "Our family has a ranch in Hongnong. There are at least 7,000 good horses that can be used as war horses. They are all bred to Turkic horses. If you want a dozen or so, I will be there at any time. You can have someone send it to Hedong for you."
"Then I'll be disrespectful," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Yang Yinjiang glared at him and said: "I can also give you some horse slaves. They are all Turkic people who have lived in the Sui Dynasty for more than ten years. These people are good at raising horses and understand the habits of Turkic horses. You can Let them help with breeding."
"Okay!" Yang Ming nodded.
Saying that, Yang Yinjiang suddenly looked out the window and said slowly:
"I was born in Hongnong County and came to Daxing when I was six years old. I have never left here since. I also heard about the scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River and the magnificent grasslands outside the Great Wall from my grandfather. I will have the opportunity in the future. , you want to take me out for a walk."
"I will definitely do it," Yang Ming agreed happily.
Yang Yinjiang turned around and smiled: "That day in Yong'an Palace, the Holy Queen said that I would be sentenced to death. I was so panicked that I kept cursing you, you brat. Fortunately, I made the right bet."
Yang Yinjiang had already talked about the whole process of the confrontation between the two women when they first entered the room.
Yang Ming admired the other party more and more. He really didn't expect that in such a feudal imperial society, there would be such a maverick woman.
This is an absolute treasure.
Next, the two talked about how to make money.
Yang Yue is very good at making money, and Yang Yinjiang has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she is naturally familiar with it.
Yang Yinjiang would patiently answer Yang Ming's questions.
For example, the gambling house they are currently in was once the property of layman Liu. After Liu Chang's house was confiscated, Yang Yue took over it.
The gambling house was renovated from a large house with many courtyards and single-story row houses.
Any item that can be converted into money can be used as a bet.
A barbarian's saber, a scholar's jade pendant, a woman's jewelry, or even an animal skin cloak are all acceptable.
This is rare in other gambling houses.
Because Yang Yue also has many grocery stores, grain stores, pawn shops, loan sharking banks, and several high-end brothels in Daxing.
All these industries make money quickly.
Since the money comes quickly, it is definitely not an industry that ordinary people can get involved in. Ordinary people can only earn hard-earned money.
Yang Yinjiang felt that if Yang Ming wanted to make money, he might as well follow this idea.
For example, in a gambling house, he only needs to rent a house, divide it into single rooms of different sizes, buy some slaves, find some skilled dealers, and then he can open the door to welcome guests.
And no one will think twice about you, and it’s easy to make money every day.
Gambling was explicitly prohibited in the Sui Dynasty, but its existence was also tacitly acknowledged.
There is no way, this thing has been banned repeatedly since ancient times, so the officials who are in charge of this get the benefits and turn a blind eye.
What's more, in Daxing City, the largest gambling house was opened by Qin Wang Yang Jun.
However, Yang Ming was quite resistant to this business, so he still excluded it.
Next, Yang Yinjiang suggested that Yang Ming lend money at high interest rates, specifically to wealthy businessmen who needed turnover or to the aristocracy who were in urgent need of money.
As long as Yang Ming is willing to do it, he is not afraid of not being able to get the money back, and Yang Yinjiang is also willing to buy a share as early capital.
The key is that Yang Ming still refuses. In his opinion, this thing is too harmful, and he is very resistant.
"I don't want to do this, and I don't want to do that, so what do you want to do?" Yang Yinjiang said with a frustrated expression.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Isn't there a more traditional way of making money?"
"Yes, but those are not profitable," Yang Yinjiang said.
It's so true... Yang Ming pondered for a while and said, "I'd better think about it again."
"I advise you not to spend too much time on this," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile, "You have a fief, but a place as rich as Hedong can't support you?"
Yang Ming waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, I really don't want to do it anymore."
About Xu time, the two parted ways.
Yang Yinjiang had a way to leave the West Market at night. After all, many of the Forbidden Army generals who were keeping watch at night came from Yang Su's command, so they would naturally be accommodating.
Not to mention Yang Ming, if he was willing, the Imperial Army would have to escort him home.
...
Counting the days, I haven't entered the palace for more than half a month.
Yang Ming felt that if he didn't go, Empress Dugu would scold him for feeding an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf.
So on the last day of April, Yang Ming went to the palace to pay his respects to Yang Jian and his wife.
Outside the gate of Yong'an Palace, Yang Ming has been waiting here for an hour. It's not that Empress Dugu won't let him in.
But he didn't dare to go in. It was really unlucky to come here today.
Because there were two women quarreling inside.
Dugu Jialuo and his eldest daughter Yang Lihua.
The mother and daughter often quarreled, and Yang Ming was used to it.
The content of the quarrel between the two this time revolved around Prince Yang Yong's beloved concubine Yun Zhaoxun.
It seems that Yang Yong wants to correct Yun Zhaoxun, but Dugu Jialuo disagrees, while Yang Lihua believes that the problem of Donggong's lack of direct descendants can be solved by supporting Yun Zhaoxun. Even if Empress Dugu doesn't like Yun Zhaoxun, wouldn't Donggong still be able to do so? Are there any other concubines?
Empress Dugu's attitude was very tyrannical. She only recognized Concubine Yuan as her daughter-in-law, and even scolded Yang Lihua for meddling in others' affairs.
The mother and daughter quarreled for half an hour.
"Peng" sound.
Yang Lihua pushed open the palace door angrily and saw Yang Ming waiting outside.
"What are you doing here, brat?"
Um...don't take it out on me? Yang Ming hurriedly said: "My nephew is here to pay his respects to my grandmother."
"Hmph! What are you saying? She's very nice."
After that, Yang Lihua left angrily.
Yang Ming still didn't dare to go in.
It wasn't until after waiting for a long time that Empress Dugu's voice came from inside:
"come in......."
