Metropolis, that is, Dongshi,
The place where Yang Jun asked Yang Ming and the others to meet was called Jinyang Restaurant. This restaurant was the largest in Dongshi and was one of the best restaurants in the world.
In fact, when Yang Ming saw this restaurant for the first time, he was sure that the owner of the restaurant was either Yang or Dugu.
The front door alone is already decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, brackets and cornices. The two stone lions placed at the door are almost as big as their Jin Prince's Mansion.
Who dares to place a stone lion in front of a restaurant? You must know that this thing is usually only placed outside palaces, temples, pagodas, bridges, mansions, and gardens. I have never seen it placed in front of a restaurant.
The answer is Yang Jun, King of Qin.
Yes, this is another family's property.
As far as Yang Ming knew, in addition to lending usury, hoarding land, and opening gambling brothels, Qin King Yang Jun also smuggled...
At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, four general managers were established, namely Yang Guang, King of Jin, General Manager of Yangzhou, Yang Jun, King of Qin, General Manager of Bingzhou, Yang Xiu, King of Shu, General Manager of Yizhou, and Wei Shikang, General Manager of Jingzhou.
Among them, Wei Shikang, the general manager of Jingzhou, passed away the year before last. He was also the eldest brother of the second eldest son, Yang Jian, and his future father-in-law, Wei Chong. Later, Yang Liang, king of Han Dynasty, took over as the general manager of Jingzhou.
Yang Jun was in charge of Bingzhou and was in charge of the military affairs of the twenty-four states. The area under his jurisdiction was adjacent to the border, so Yang Jian asked him to try to trade some war horses from the Turks.
Of course, he did it. Every year, at least 5,000 good horses would enter from Bingzhou and be sent to the ranch set up in Longxi by the Sui Dynasty and managed by Taipu Temple.
Before being transferred to Daxing, General Qu Tutong of Chariots and Cavalry was in charge of this ranch. Because he raised horses well, he was transferred exceptionally.
So what are the facts?
The truth is that at least 8,000 good horses enter from Bingzhou every year. Except for the 5,000 reported, Yang Jun has taken kickbacks for the rest.
In addition, there were Turkic cattle and sheep, leather goods, gold and silver products, and Yang Jun, the third child, also smuggled a lot.
The most awesome thing is that he is already so rich, and he even misappropriates public funds from the state treasury to support himself.
Of course, these are not enough to summarize the personal charm of King Qin Yang Jun. The most surprising thing is that he has always wanted to become a monk...
Why does Yang Ming know this? Because of the things Yang Jun did, someone had already complained to Yang Jian.
Therefore, Yang Laosan was successively defeated by his own father Yang Jian, the Shangzhu Kingdom and the General Youwuwei.
Jinyang Building, Xiaodong Street, Miaode Room on the east side of the second floor of Tianyuan.
Shortly after Yang Zhao and the others sat down, Yang Hao hurried over.
After the ceremony, Yang Hao sat down opposite the three brothers without hesitating to say anything, filled the tea bowls for the three of them, and frowned together, showing that he was very worried.
Yang Zhao guessed that the other party must be looking for him for something, so he went straight to the point:
"Brother, if you need help with anything, Aru (Yang Hao's nickname) just tell me."
Yang Hao raised his head, glanced at the faces of the three brothers, and sighed heavily:
“I really don’t know how to say this…sigh…”
The second eldest child, Yang Jian, frowned and said, "Why do you act like a big girl? You're so coquettish, you're not happy at all."
After being stunned for a moment, Yang Hao suddenly seemed to have figured it out. Mengyi gritted his teeth, knelt down directly towards Yang Zhao, kowtowed, and cried with tears streaming down his face:
"Brother, save me!"
This turn of events stunned Yang Zhao and the other three. Of course, Yang Ming could probably guess something.
what happened? Could it be that there are still people in Sui Dynasty who dare to harm you?
Yang Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Hao up and said calmly:
"If you have any difficulty, just tell me. If you can help me, I will never refuse."
Only then did Yang Hao describe the cause and effect with tears and runny noses.
The fact is just as Yang Ming guessed, King Qin Yang Jun will be alive in a few days, and the Prince of Qin's palace has even begun to prepare for the funeral.
It is a taboo to prepare for funeral in advance before someone is dead, but it is just an order issued by the Second Saint, so no one dares to say anything.
After all, Yang Jun's body was already half rotten and smelled worse than a dead person.
Yang Hao's biological mother Cui Shi has been deposed and is under the supervision of the palace guards. According to Yang Hao, a white silk ribbon was sent from Renshou Palace yesterday, and a large group of eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to inventory the palace. Library.
Wang Yan, the palace steward, saw that the situation was serious and went around to find out the news. The results he got made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.
According to the officials who returned to Daxing from Renshou Palace, they learned that Princess Cui would die as a parricide on the death day of King Yang Jun of Qin.
Yang Hao will be deprived of his title as heir apparent and demoted to a commoner. All the property in the palace will be confiscated, and all the things that Yang Jun liked during his lifetime will be burned.
After Yang Hao finished telling this, Yang Zhao was stunned on the spot.
Yang Xian was so surprised that he couldn't recover for a long time.
The information should be correct. Yang Ming knew that it would not be difficult for the people in Prince Qin's palace to inquire about this information. After all, Yang Jun was a close relative of the Second Saint, and those who knew the inside story would not refuse to share this favor.
"I understand," Yang Zhao exhaled a long breath and said, "Aru is waiting for me at the house. I will go to Renshou Palace in person to intercede for you."
"Brother, wait a minute!" As he said that, Yang Hao suddenly left his seat.
When he returned to the wing, the four servants following behind him brought in two large boxes.
Yang Hao wiped his tears and said: "Some people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have rushed to Jinyang to check the properties under the name of the prince. Those properties that can no longer be saved but are still in Daxing have been organized by steward Wang Yan. They are just waiting for my brother to take over. It’s up to my brother to take care of the family property.”
After saying that, Yang Hao knelt down to Yang Zhao again.
The words have been made very clear.
Yang Hao was afraid that Yang Zhao would go to Renshou Palace without success, so he handed over his family property to Yang Zhao in advance. After all, if he really became a commoner, he would not even have a place to live, let alone money.
For a prince who has been pampered since childhood, with clothes on his hands and food on his hands to open his mouth, how could he live like a commoner.
As for why it was entrusted to Yang Zhao, of course it was because Yang Zhao was a reliable character.
"Okay! As a brother, I will naturally seek stability for the rest of my life as a brother."
Having said that, Yang Zhao, escorted by two hundred palace guards, headed to Renshou Palace at starry night.
As for Yang Ming and Yang Xian, they were counting the land and house deeds in the two large boxes in a large house in Kaihuafang.
There are eight jewelry shops.
There are three pawn shops.
There are eleven gambling houses.
Seven brothels.
There are six restaurants.
There are 61 homesteads, covering a total area of 35 acres, and the annual rent is 70,000 yuan.
Six large ships docked at the Weishui pier...
.......
Yang Ming was stunned.
These properties turned out to be only a very small part of Yang Jun's name that could be stolen, and they were relatively secretive. Like the Jinyang Tower, everyone knew it was Yang Jun's property, so Yang Hao didn't dare to hide it at all.
God, how much money did he make?
The most painful thing in life is like Yang Jun, who dies but the money is not spent. The most painful thing is Yang Hao, who lives but the money is gone.
The money that King Yang Jun of Qin earned through hard work for half his life was all given to the state treasury...
