Henan County, Shangshang County, the county guard is from the third rank.
It has jurisdiction over eighteen counties: Henan, Luoyang, Nexiang, Taolin, Shaanxian, Xiong'er, Mianchi, Xin'an, Yanshi, Gongxian, Yiyang, Shou'an, Luhun, Yinque, Xingtai, Fengshi, Songyang, Yangcheng.
The current governor of Henan County has been in this position for fifteen years. His surname is Dugu and his given name is Zuan. Empress Dugu married the eldest son of her eldest brother Duguluo and granted the title of Duke of Zhao.
That is, Dugu Feng'er's adoptive father.
Yang Ming disembarked from Heyang County, crossed the Yellow River, and arrived in Luoyang by land. Dugu Zuan led a hundred officials to greet him.
"The accommodation for Your Highness and all of you has been prepared. Please allow me to lead the way." Dugu Zuan is almost fifty years old this year. He has three sons and one daughter. This daughter is Dugu Feng'er.
The Dugu family is very powerful in the Luoyang area. Although there is currently Queen Dugu's seventh brother Dugu Zheng in the family, who has taken over the left-hand left command from Li An as the general of the left and right mansions, it is said that Dugu Zheng has fallen ill and is recuperating at home.
There are almost no people with the surname Dugu in the central court, but in Henan, this family is considered the most tyrannical.
At that time, Yang Yong did not have a close relationship with his mother, Dugu Jialuo's family, but Yang Guang was different. He had always maintained contact with the Dugu family, not to mention the relationship between Yang Ming and Yang Ming.
Therefore, the Dugu family seems to be showing signs of re-emergence after Yang Guang ascended the throne.
In fact, this family was very prosperous during the Tang Dynasty, and many people entered the Tang Dynasty.
The wife of Wei Yuancheng, the governor of Jizhou, was from the Dugu family.
Today's Luoyang is not as grand as the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it is still quite prosperous. In the Sui Dynasty, it was under the Daxing Dynasty and above Jinyang. There were 400,000 permanent residents in the city, making it the political, economic and cultural center of the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Dugu Zuan only cleaned up a few private houses at home, which was enough to settle Yang Ming and the others.
And in order to facilitate everyone's discussion, these houses are very close to each other.
That night, there was inevitably a reception banquet at the Duke of Zhao's mansion.
When doing business, you also need to eat. The biggest impression on Yang Ming from Luoyang cuisine is that the portions are large and pasta is the main dish.
Don't think that the prince doesn't eat steamed buns. Steamed buns are a good thing. Although they are not as white as later generations because of the poor processing level, they feel good when pinched.
As the chief construction supervisor of Dongdu City, Yang Ming naturally sat in the main seat. The banquet hall was filled with hundreds of people and it was very lively.
During this period, Dugu Zhuan, as the landlord, came over on the pretext of toasting and whispered:
"I already know everything about Feng'er. I will entrust the rest of the child's life to Your Highness."
As he said this, Dugu Zuan's eyes instantly became wet. Although this daughter was not his biological child, she had been raised by him since she was a child. There was no difference from her biological daughter. Moreover, she was originally a bloodline of their Dugu family, so he had always regarded her as his biological daughter. Raised by a daughter.
Yang Ming consoled her: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. Feng'er is with me and everything is safe. Her condition has also improved. If there is a chance in the future, I will let her come back to visit you."
"Okay, okay," Dugu Zuan wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded: "Your Highness has just arrived in Luoyang and is not familiar with many things. Do you need me to arrange for a few people? Your Highness can ask at any time."
Yang Ming followed the current and said:
"In this kind of matter, after all, our own people are reliable. The construction of Tokyo is a top priority. Local affairs can be put aside for the time being. Why not let Dugu Yin come to my side."
Dugu Yin is the eldest son of Dugu Zuan. He is currently the magistrate of Henan County. He is 36 years old this year. It is said that the four pillars and eight characters all have Yin, just like Tang Bohu, so he takes the single character Yin.
Dugu Zun knew that Yang Ming intended to promote his son, which was a good intention. However, the eldest son Dugu Yin was used to being arrogant and would not get into trouble, so he was afraid that his usual neglect would anger Yang Ming, so he said:
"The eldest son is stupid, why don't I let my next son Dugu Xin do the work for me?"
Yang Ming nodded: "Okay."
After a while, Dugu Zuan brought a young man with an upright appearance and quite pleasing to the eye.
"My lord, the Lord of Luoyang, Bo Dugu Xin, pays homage to His Highness."
Yang Ming raised his hand and said with a smile: "My family does not need to be polite. From now on, I will still need Erlang to answer my questions at all times. I will tidy up tonight and come to the Chief Supervisor's Mansion tomorrow to wait for arrangements."
After Dugu Xin left, Yang Ming chatted with Dugu Zuan for a while, making insidious inquiries about the food reserves.
If something goes wrong in the official warehouse of Henan County, it will be difficult to deal with it.
"Zhao Guogong, don't blame me for being careless. On the way, I have received a report from Zhang Dinghe in Hanoi. There are many problems in the local official warehouse. The perpetrators have been escorted to the capital. I don't want Henan County to have such problems. We are our own people. , so remind you.”
Dugu Zhuan said quickly: "Your Highness, don't worry. Apart from normal losses, the official warehouse of Henan County is in full supply. In the fifteen years since I have been in office, there has been no problem with food. The Dugu family can do everything except give it to the Holy Spirit." Disgraceful later.”
Yang Ming nodded and said with a smile: "If all Guandong were like Henan County, Your Majesty would have nothing to worry about."
He was testing Dugu Zuan's tone, and Dugu Zuan was also testing his. Although he almost became Yang Ming's father-in-law, didn't he fail in the end?
"After Tokyo is built, Henan County will probably change its jurisdiction again. I wonder what it will be like?"
Yang Ming finally heard it. Do you still want to be the top leader in Luoyang?
The possibility exists, but in the future Luoyang will be Tokyo, the capital, the boss will be the emperor, and officials from all ministries below will be there. Even if you are Luoyang Yin, there will be Yuzhou Mu above.
In fact, after Tokyo Luoyang is built, it will be changed to Luozhou. The largest official is called the governor, and the seat of government is still in Henan County. In Tokyo, all the elders will be in the future. The nobles of Guanzhong will definitely buy mansions and open up territories here early. The governor of Luozhou has no cards in front of these people.
When his father Yang Guang was in Luoyang, he had the final say. When he went on a tour, he would also set up a Dongdu to stay behind, so Dugu Zuan's happiest moment should be now, not in the future.
"Don't worry, Duke Zhao, if there are any changes in the future, I will make plans for you," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Dugu Zuan's old face turned red when his feelings were revealed, and he smiled sheepishly:
"The minister was abrupt, please don't be offended, Your Highness."
"No wonder, come on, have a drink," Yang Ming smiled and raised his glass.
Emperor Yang Guang liked to drink Shaoxing yellow, so much so that he served him as the banquet wine during important banquets. It was also called Nuer Hong among the people.
But in fact, no one likes to drink it here in Luoyang. The "spring mash" brewed by Liu Baituo, a person from Hedong in the Northern Wei Dynasty, was the most popular. Yang Ming also preferred this kind of wine, because it would not be easy to get drunk after drinking too much.
After the banquet, Yang Ming returned to his residence.
This is a large house, and the scale is actually over the limit. It is basically similar to the specifications of a county prince's palace, but in Luoyang, no one would worry about this.
The house was kept spotless and had obviously been carefully prepared, but the maids and servants prepared by Dugu Zuan were all sent away by Yang Ming.
There can be no outsiders here.
The next day, Yang Ming, led by Dugu Zuan and other local officials, went to the new site in Luoyang with Yang Su and others.
Near noon, everyone arrived at their destination, Yinque Mountain. Yinque Mountain was called Yinque Mountain because the two mountains faced each other and the Yin water flowed like a natural gate. However, it had to be called Longmen now, and Yang Guang changed the name.
Standing on Longmen Mountain and looking north, even if Yang Ming didn't understand Feng Shui, he could tell that this was really a good place.
Bei Mang Mountain and South Longmen are sandwiched between a central plain with Luoshui flowing through it. It is a treasure land that hides wind and absorbs energy.
Everyone is on a mountainside with the best view, looking far away, because only here can they get a glimpse of the whole picture.
In Luoyang right now, the foundation has been excavated. Looking into the distance, the crowds are as dense as ants.
"Build the city first and build the walls first. The east wall is about fifteen miles long, the south wall is fourteen miles long, the north wall is twelve miles long, and the west wall is fourteen miles long. The total length is fifty-five miles."
"The Luoshui River passes through the city from west to east. There are five bridges in total. To the south of the imperial city, in order to dredge the river water to avoid obstruction, it is necessary to open channels and divide it into three streams. There are three bridges in the north, middle and south, with Tianjin in the middle. Bridge means Tianhe Ferry, with Huangdao Bridge in the north and Huangjin Bridge in the south."
"There are two bridges in the city, the Middle Bridge in the middle and the East Bridge in the east..."
Yu Wenkai held the drawing in his hand and explained it to everyone.
These bridges are all pontoon bridges, not stone bridges. Yang Ming is relatively familiar with Tianjin Bridge. In The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, there was a battle here, and Kou Zhong Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan had a head-to-head confrontation for the first time.
Moreover, this bridge often appeared in the poems of some famous writers in history.
The description of the Tianjin Bridge in historical books is: it uses large cables to maintain the boats, and they are all connected with iron hooks. The north and south roads are connected, and the four floors are opposite each other. The buildings are like the sun and the moon.
This is an iron cable pontoon bridge, which makes driving and walking as easy as walking on flat ground.
"To the north of Luoshui, with the Imperial City in the west, there are twenty-nine squares in the east, and there is a North City. To the south of Luoshui, with Dingdingmen Street as the central axis, there are sixty-seven miles in the east, and there is a East City in the west. Sixteen squares, there is a West Market building..."
Throughout the afternoon, everyone listened to the basic overview described by Yu Wenkai.
Tokyo is of great importance, and everyone must be aware of it, but Yang Ming is still concerned about construction issues. Construction in Luoyang works day and night. The lighting at night mainly relies on bonfires, and kerosene cannot be used.
So he looked at Yang Da and asked, "Is the man named Wu Hua here?"
Yang Da nodded and waved towards the distance down the mountain. After a while, a wealthy man in his late fifties ran up with his skirt in hand.
"Caomin Wuhua, I have met His Highness."
Yang Ming nodded slightly: "Don't delay the supply of wood. I will temporarily appoint you as the deputy civil engineering supervisor to take charge of this matter."
"The common people will not disappoint His Highness," Wu Hua happily retired.
"Is Yun Dingxing here?" Yang Ming asked.
After a while, Yun Dingxing came. This former prince and father-in-law had lost his former glory. Every move he made now was very humble. When Yang Yong was in power, he was very arrogant.
"Since Your Majesty has asked you to supervise the smelting and smelting matters, you should live up to His grace. However, you need to know that Your Majesty is frugal and must not spend excessively."
"I accept your order," Yun Dingxing nodded quickly.
Yang Ming and Yang Su will not stay at the construction site for a long time. Most of them are remote control commanders and coordinate the overall situation. Those who are really on the construction site are the professional players from the Ministry of Industry, many of whom are named Yuwen. They were not the Northern Zhou royal family, but Yu Wenkai's branch.
There is an interesting saying that in Yu Wenkai's house, even the concierge's dog can make its own nest.
Yuwenkai Family = Sui Construction Group.
