Chapter 76 The Prince of Xiliang
The news of the Southern Dynasty retreating in Jiangling area quickly reached Chang'an. Yang Jian smiled with satisfaction and ordered: "Order Han Qinhu to withdraw his troops. All military branches shall not provoke any of the Southern Dynasty according to their original deployment. Those who violate military orders shall be killed."
His analysis of Chen Shubao and others in the Southern Dynasty was correct. As long as the Emperor Chen Dynasty was still seriously ill and the Chen Chaochao was unstable, it would be impossible to use troops easily. Chen Shubao could not bear any failure. At this time, he really hoped that Emperor Chen Chao, who was an old opponent, would last for two more years in the hospital bed, and it would be best to hold on until the war with the Turks ended.
The crisis was temporarily suspended, but Yang Guang's marriage could not be resolved. Yang Jian looked at the mansion report on the table and ordered the eunuch: "The prince of Xiliang comes to Beijing and let the prince pick him up, so he will not be rude."
Outside Chang'an City, Prince Yang Yong looked unhappy. He didn't know why the emperor asked him to pick up the prince of Xiliang. This was obviously Yang Guang's elder brother-in-law, so why did he arrange for him to pick him up?
During this period, he wandered among the elders of various noble families who entered Beijing, and benefited a lot. His family's disciples would also give him advice, but he really couldn't understand what the purpose was today.
The people around Yang Yong said to him: "Your Highness, since you are here, you can't lose your etiquette."
After a while, the Prince of Xiliang and his team arrived. Looking at the team Yang Yong smiled disdainfully: "In the small land of Xiliang, the ceremonial guard team is also simple and pitiful."
Although he looked down on the other party, Yang Yong rode out to greet him.
When the Xiliang team saw the welcome team from the Sui Dynasty, they stopped and walked out of the carriage.
The person who came is of medium height, and he is half a dozen years younger than Yang Yong. He is dressed elegantly, lacks heroic spirit and has more scholarly spirit.
"Xiao Cong of Xiliang has met the Prince of the Great Sui Dynasty."
"People say that the Prince of Xiliang is knowledgeable and good at literature and is good at riding and shooting. He can be said to be both civil and military. He is well-known today when he sees it."
"It's mostly praised by others, and the prince's heroic spirit is far better than me."
After the unnutritious greetings, Yang Yong took the Prince of Xiliang into Chang'an City and first went to the palace to pay homage to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian was very happy when he saw Xiao Cong: "Nephew, this is the first time you and I have met. In two days, I will be the in-laws when the marriage is over. I will be more in the city of Chang'an in the past two days."
"Your Majesty the Emperor, can you allow me to meet the King of Jin?"
"Of course, the King of Jin is in Daxing City today, and I will order someone to take you there."
Yang Jian knew that the Prince of Xiliang would definitely see Yang Guang when he came. He asked Yang Guang to wait in Daxing City early in the morning. He also showed off the big project of Daxing City to the Prince of Xiliang to see how powerful the Great Sui Dynasty was.
Yang Yong completed the task. Xiao Cong came to the construction site of Daxing City with the officials in the palace. This time he met his brother-in-law, the King of Jin of the Great Sui Dynasty.
At first, he thought his sister would become the prince's concubine, but he didn't expect to marry King Jin. At first, the Emperor of Xiliang was a little dissatisfied, but after hearing about King Jin over the past few days, he was much more satisfied.
The two met, and Yang Guang said to Xiao Cong: "People say that the Prince of Xiliang is knowledgeable and good at riding and shooting. He is good at both civil and military affairs. He is well-known today when he sees it."
Xiao Cong was speechless. Did you have unified training in the Sui Dynasty or what? Why did the prince and the King of Jin say exactly the same thing, and the word is not bad.
Immediately replied: "It's mostly praised by others, and King Yingwu of Jin is far better than me."
Yang Guang took Xiao Cong to the watchtower of the supervisor, looked at the civilians who were working hard below, and looked at Daxing City from afar and couldn't see the edge of the city wall. He sighed: "The great Sui Dynasty has a strong national strength, and such a huge city has risen out of thin air!"
Xiao Cong felt the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty for the first time. If Chang'an City was prosperous, it might be the legacy of the previous dynasty and the foundation of the Central Plains. However, it is really amazing to dare to build such a giant city.
Yang Jian's goal has been achieved.
"Hello, Your Highness, King of Jin."
"Thank you for your hard work in King Jin."
As the two of them walked along the way, the men on the roadside greeted Yang Guang enthusiastically. The smile from the heart, the passion soaked in sweat but overflowing, were so real that Xiao Cong felt.
The surface skills of the Great Sui Dynasty have been too much!!!
All the time, people have to complain if they don’t say anything about labor service. You can show me what they want. Everyone is so enthusiastic and hardworking? Is it so different that the enlightenment between the Sui people and the Xiliang people?
So when Xiao Cong saw this, he immediately felt that he was acting, but he just lamented that the acting skills of the Sui people were really good.
"The King of Jin is responsible for such a big matter when he is young. His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui really attaches importance to you."
"Do your father's orders."
"This Daxing City must be expensive."
"It's really expensive, but it's okay to not use the treasury of the Great Sui Dynasty."
"Don't consume the treasury? Where can I get the money?"
Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "It can be said that many people in Chang'an City paid money, and everyone paid for the construction together."
A fantasy!
Xiao Cong really didn't understand how Yang Guang could say this kind of nonsense. Do you think he was a three-year-old child? He had already figured out what Yang Guang would like to say next, the people in the city worked together, the ministers in the court were united and donated money to build Daxing City.
Can you believe this? Of course, it cannot be believed, it is impossible, absolutely impossible.
But he had a little bit of impression of Yang Guang. Unexpectedly, his brother-in-law, who is a talented person, would be a bragging person who speaks loudly and is deeply regretful that his sister is going to marry the King of Jin.
Yang Guang naturally didn't know what he was thinking, nor did he know that his elder brother-in-law had just met and regarded himself as a big fool.
He pulled him to the imperial city that was being built, introduced the scale of the imperial city and the palace and said: "Imperial city and the palace are the most expensive projects. In order to raise money, I have sold a lot of national debts."
"Treasury bonds, what is a national debt?" Xiao Cong was naturally puzzled.
Yang Guang told Xiao Cong about the concept of national debt, and Xiao Cong looked at Yang Guang in shock: "Did you really do this?"
"Naturally, why not?"
At this moment, Xiao Cong understood Yang Guang's so-called ministers and ordinary people's means to pay money. It turned out that he collected money in this way. Instead, he thought, if he did this, he would be able to collect a large amount of funds.
But he immediately rejected his thoughts. Xiliang was not the Great Sui Dynasty. The ministers and nobles of Xiliang would not believe in the future of Xiliang so firmly and would not buy national debts. When I think of this, I feel endless sadness.
Yang Guang felt that Xiao Cong was a person who was very easy to get distracted, and he would be distracted once in a while.
"I wonder if you are interested in our Da Sui government bonds?"
"Ah? Me?" Xiao Cong came to his senses.
"Yes, Princess Menglan is about to marry me, so I'll call you uncle kindly. The national debt of the Sui Dynasty is a project that only makes money but not loses. If you have any ideas, I don't mind buying some. I believe my father will agree."
"No." Xiao Cong figured it out. Wasn't this giving the money from Xiliang to Da Suihua first?
"Brother-in-law, don't resist so much. Think slowly, don't force this matter. Money is more reliable in the Sui Dynasty. Even if my brother-in-law wants to hide some private money in the future, it will be difficult for others to find it."
What is this called asset transfer.
