"This is an opportunity. It shows that sometimes trouble in the place may not be a bad thing." In Guanghua Palace, Yang Yinjiang tore off a piece of beef with her hands, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and said to Li Mi below:
"Xuan Sui served as His Majesty's Thousand Bulls Guards. If Yu Wenshu hadn't interfered with it, he would have taken up the important position long ago. Going to Lingnan this time is an opportunity. Although he is Zuo Pushe, the people of the world are young, and it is you who can do all the big and small things. Call the shots.”
Yang Ming on the side smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the people of the world. Just because someone can defraud Qinjiang City with three thousand people, this is not something ordinary people can do. He has been following Ying back for a long time. People who go down to the East Palace, It will give him some face."
After saying that, Yang Ming looked at Li Mi: "But I can't give you too much face."
Li Mi also nodded while eating: "Your Highness, don't worry, Xuan Sui has a sense of proportion in his heart."
Today was a small banquet. Li Mi and five others were called. He was Yang Yinjiang's confidant, so it was naturally Yang Yinjiang who gave the orders.
Yang Yinjiang continued: "There is no room for mistakes in Lingnan's policy implementation this time. If something goes wrong again, it will be even more difficult in the future. You must know it well. Xuan Sui is the chief official. You have to shoulder more government affairs. I will give you fifty My slave, take Yuan Yi and Xu Lin with you when you leave, do you know why you are asked to take them?"
Yang Yuanyi is the legitimate daughter of Yang Xuanzong and the first wife of Li Mi. Like Yang Yinjiang, she also has the prefix "Cao". Li Xulin is Li Mi's son Li Jia, also named Xulin. He is more than four years old this year.
Li Mi nodded: "I know that when his wife is around, Xuan Sui will have some scruples and try to be as gentle as possible when implementing policies."
In fact, we just want them to stay calm and not force them to rebel against Lingnan.
Yang Yinjiang nodded: "I will definitely let you come back within three years at most."
Li Mi was stunned and looked at Yang Ming. Yang Ming smiled and said, "What the Crown Princess agrees to you is equivalent to my agreement."
Li Mi was immediately overjoyed and nodded hurriedly.
Yang Ming ate and said to everyone: "There are many mulberry fields in Guizhou, but the country has not seen any of the mulberry and hemp produced every year. The mulberry fields are Yongye fields. According to the system, more than fifty mulberry roots can be planted per mu. There should be more than ten elm and jujube roots each. Those who do not plant jujube and elm will plant ramie instead. After three years of planting, I will wait for you to send the mulberry and hemp to the treasury in three years."
Li Mi and others nodded quickly and said, "I will never let down His Highness' high expectations."
Mulberry fields do not only grow mulberries, but also include cash crops such as trees. It depends on what your land conditions are suitable for. Elm trees are mainly used to make furniture, jujube trees are fruit trees, and ramie is the main material for linen clothes and can also be used to make paper.
Cash crops have a certain growth cycle, among which mulberry and linen mixed growers are the most popular, because ramie is very suitable for fertilizer with silkworm excrement, which is silkworm excrement.
"There are many slaves in Lingnan, so will exempting some slaves from land grants and taxes be implemented in Lingnan as well?" Wei Fusi asked.
At present, this policy has been renewed in various places. Two years and two years later, the excuse is that the national treasury is in deficit. In fact, if it is not in deficit, it will be made a permanent national policy.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Of course we have to implement it. You are going to re-grow the fields this time. It is understandable that it will be difficult here. You are the Minister of the Ministry of War in Taiwan, so be careful. Guizhou has done well in reforming, and Guangzhou has also done well." You have to change it. If you don't change it well, it will make people laugh and Guangzhou will not be able to implement it in the future. Remember, publicity must be in place. The court is here to grant land to the people. As long as the local tribal people are stabilized, those big families will not be able to implement it. Difficult to solve.”
How can it be so simple? Your words may sound light, but they actually carry a lot of weight. Wei Fusi sighed:
"To deal with the big families, we have to rely on the Ning family and the Cen family, but we can't rely too much on them. We must have a military government, and the military system of the government must also be implemented."
Li Mi said: "Most of the civilians who migrated from the four counties of Zangzhou were resettled in Yulin County and Shi'an County. Two Huqi Mansion can be set up here, mainly for the relocated people, plus the five thousand Jianghuai people from Ningyue County. The army is actually enough to control Guizhou."
Gao Biaoren also nodded and said: "The Ning family and the Cen family are seriously weakened right now, and there is a deep rift between the two sides. It will also be good for us to separate the two families to check and balance each other. After such a big setback, in a short period of time, these two families will There won’t be any more trouble, the other tribes are in trouble, and the government soldiers are enough to suppress them.”
Yang Ming nodded and said: "This year, many candidates from agricultural and engineering majors have been assigned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Taifu Temple. When you leave, go and ask for some craftsmen who are proficient in smelting, textiles, water conservancy, and farming to spread the technology. When you go to the imperfect place, ask for it from Zhang Heng in Jiangdu, and I will say hello to him."
Li Mi and others nodded.
This small banquet lasted for a long time. After all, there were many things to be told. Things in Lingnan were complicated. After they left, there would be officials in the court and the East Palace who would be responsible for supervising the implementation of Lingnan policies.
Chen Shuyi has been back from Hedong for a long time. Originally, the East Palace had been hiding things about Lingnan from Feng Yuzhi. However, after Chen Shuyi came back, she started asking around and accidentally leaked it to Feng Yuzhi. As a result, Feng Yuzhi was in a bad mood recently and lived deep in the palace. Don't want to go out and meet people.
One night a few days later, the bad news came that Yang Xiong had passed away.
Among the four nobles in the early Sui Dynasty, Su Wei was the only one left alive.
Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang rushed to Prince Guan's Mansion overnight, and there was already a lot of crying here.
In the hall, Yang Ming sat on the main seat with his forehead raised, his face was sad, and the hall was filled with clan members.
"Your Highness, there is no need to feel sad. My father has suffered from this calamity a long time ago. He has survived until today and is like a god." The eldest son, Yang Gongren, stepped forward and moved the candle next to Yang Ming away to prevent the flame from burning Yang Ming's hair.
As for Yang Yinjiang, she went to live with her female relatives.
Yang Ming just let out a long sigh and did not raise his head.
"Looking at the great virtues of the king and his abundant literary virtues, his posthumous title should be the word Yi," said Yang Lun, King of Teng.
Yang Ming raised his head, glanced at the other party, and said nothing.
Historically, Yang Xiong's posthumous title was originally Yi, but Yang Guang changed it to De. Both words are beautiful posthumous names, but Yi is one of the top posthumous names, which is much better than De.
Historically, Yang Xiong's posthumous title was originally Yi, but Yang Guang changed it to De. Both words are beautiful posthumous names, but Yi is one of the top posthumous names, which is much better than De.
Yang Lun chose such a big posthumous name, which shows that he wanted to win over Guan Wangfang. He had been choosing posthumous names for Yang Xiong since he became seriously ill.
The Yang Gongren brothers looked at Yang Ming expectantly, because Yang Ming could make the decision on this matter. Those who supervise the country are the common people, and the funeral must be among the common people.
"The word "Teng Wang" is very well chosen. I'm sorry for you," Yang Ming said feebly:
"As a posthumous gift to Situ, he will be the prefect of the ten counties of Xiangguo, Wu'an, Bohai, Qinghe, Shangdang, Hejian, Jibei, Gaomi, Jiyin, and Changping. The Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple will host the funeral, and Gongren will watch the king's title."
Yang Gongren burst into tears and knelt down in front of Yang Ming.
When he cried like this, the hall also burst into tears. Yang Xiong's prestige was too high. As the leader of the clan, if he left like this, the clan would definitely form cliques in the future, hoping that Yang Lun would twist everyone into one. unrealistic.
He doesn't have that ability.
He couldn't control Guanwangfang, nor could he control a direct clan member like Yang Hao.
"Withdrawal from the court for three days as a token of condolence," Yang Ming stood up slowly, planning to leave, but as soon as he stood up, his head felt dizzy, he stumbled, and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Yang Gongren had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he quickly supported him and exclaimed:
"Come here, send the prince down to rest quickly."
Yang Lun and Yang Hao hurried forward. One person held one of Yang Ming's arms. Yang Gongren lifted his buttocks, Yang Xiao and Yang Ji lifted his legs. Five princes, Teng, Liang, Guan, Shu and Wei, lifted Yang Ming down.
In fact, he was too exhausted during this period. His body was overwhelmed by the high-intensity work. In addition, he got up anxiously tonight and went out to blow the wind, so he fell down all of a sudden.
Everyone thought he was overly sad. After all, Yang Xiong had a very good relationship with the prince, and he was also the prince's master.
Now that Yang Xiong is dead, no one in the world is qualified to be the crown prince or grand master for Yang Ming.
After Yang Yinjiang and Yan Xiaotang heard the news, they were frightened and hurried to the backyard. Fortunately, Yang Ming felt much better after lying down for a while.
"Your Highness, please do not be overly sad. If your body is hurt, my father will definitely blame himself and feel guilty if he knows it," Yang Gongren said, wiping his tears.
"I'm fine," Yang Ming, supported by Yang Yinjiang, slowly sat on the couch: "Don't worry about me, just organize the funeral properly."
After saying that, Yang Ming couldn't help crying.
Why is he crying? The familiar faces crying were all gone.
There are Yang Jian and his wife, Gao Xi, Yang Su, Yang Zhao, and of course Yang Xiong, Sun Sheng and others, and even Yang Yong.
It's not that sad, it's just the separation of life and death in this world that makes him a little sad.
People are always nostalgic for the past. Although Yang Ming is not very old, he has been dealing with these people for a long time. It can be regarded as an emotional expression due to the death of Yang Xiong.
Yang Ming quickly wiped away his tears and controlled his emotions. He felt that his fragile posture in front of others was inappropriate.
In fact, the Yang Gongren brothers were greatly moved, and their loyalty to Yang Ming became even stronger. Of course, the clan members like leaders who value affection, but they don't like leaders like Yang Guang.
Therefore, these tears were Uncle Liu's tears, and the effect was huge.
Early the next morning, Yang Mingcai left the palace.
He couldn't stay too long. There were respectable etiquette, and it wasn't Yang Guang who died. He couldn't mourn for too long.
Yan Xiaotang will stay, after all, he is her own grandfather, and she has to keep vigil.
Before Yang Xiong's funeral was over, news came from Fan Zigai, the general manager of Hexi Province, that the Eastern Turks invaded the Western Regions and started fighting with the Xue Yantuo tribe of the Tiele people.
The Western Turks Shekui Khan, Xue Yantuo Khan Yi Shibo, and Gaochang King Qu Boya simultaneously reported to the court, requesting the Sui Dynasty to intervene.
Yang Ming couldn't control this. This was not a common government, but a military government. So after convening the court meeting, he urgently reported to Jiangdu and let Yang Guang make the decision.
After Chuluo was captured by the Sui Dynasty, the power of the new Khan Shekui increased greatly. Tiele Khan Qibi Geling had secretly led his troops to surrender, and another Tiele tribe, Xue Yantuo's tribe, was also moving closer to Shekui.
Historically, the Western Turkic territory of Shekui Khan was very large, reaching the Altai Mountains in the east and the Caspian Sea in the west, including half of Kazakhstan, including Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan.
This life is not so exaggerated. Shekui did not dare to antagonize the Sui Dynasty. In recent years, it has been expanding westward. However, if he continues to expand like this, it will be almost the same as in history.
