"Your Majesty, the food is ready." At this time, Qiu Shui came in with a group of muscular girls, and timely resolved Pei Shuying's embarrassment.

"Okay!" Yang Ji said with a smile: "From noon to now, I haven't eaten all the grains of rice, and I have also worked hard to take the arithmetic test, and now I am hungry."

Xiao Ying said with concern: "Then use more food."

Yang Ji sat at the dining table in the hall and said, "You guys also sit down and have something to eat with me."

"Mr. Lang, I'm not hungry." Xiao Ying shook her head and said to Liu Rumei and Pei Shuying: "You can eat with me!"

Pei Shuying laughed: "I'm so heartbroken that I can't eat."

Yang Ji paused on his front for a moment, picked up the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Shuying, it's better to eat more. After all, you still have to grow up."

"..." Pei Shuying didn't know what was going on. She always felt that there was something in her husband's words, but she couldn't figure it out if she thought about it carefully. Could it be that her husband felt that she was too thin?

Even though Pei Shuyinglan has a good heart and a delicate mind, she doesn't know what her husband is thinking at this moment.

Yang Ji ate silently with chopsticks, but he didn't eat much. It was already eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, and it would be easy to accumulate food if he ate too much.

He looked at Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei, who had inexplicable and turbulent expressions, and then looked at the charming Pei Shuying, and felt that the gap suddenly appeared.

Pei Shuying has a dignified appearance and a heavenly beauty. She is a graceful and elegant oval-faced beauty. If she were plumper, she would be more beautiful and beautiful. But because she is still young, she is still a little thin.

It doesn't feel as plump as Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei, and this girl doesn't like to eat very much, and she only eats vegetarian food.

How can this gain weight?

Yang Ji was seventy percent full, rinsed his mouth, picked up a cup of fragrant tea brought by Liu Rumei, and said, "We really need to hurry up and make our formal attire."

Xiao Ying's heart moved slightly, she raised her eyes and asked: "Lang Jun, are we going back to Beijing?"

"Well!" Yang Ji took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and said, "The new capital is about to be completed. We will definitely go back to participate in the day when the capital is moved."

"So fast?" Xiao Ying asked in surprise.

Yang Ji said with a smile: "Luoyang New City is half the size of Daxing City, and the national power of our Sui Dynasty is far greater than before. Luoyang City's progress is faster than Daxing City. There is no surprise."

The project of Luoyang New City is huge, but the manpower is very sufficient. In addition to using labor and hiring civilian husbands, there are also Yang Liang's hundreds of thousands of war criminals, and Yang Ji has sent over 40,000 prisoners one after another. In addition to the excavation of Xiyuan,

The dredging of Luoshui River, the embankment of Luoshui River and other peripheral projects without technical content were outsourced, so the overall progress of Luoyang New City was extremely fast.

To be honest, in his previous life, Yang Ji also believed that the feudal dynasty only squeezed the people's power and did nothing but prostitution for free. However, after the Sui Dynasty, he realized that all dynasties cared about the people and people's livelihood. In peacetime, no matter what projects were done, the court would

Sufficient money and food were allocated; however, due to insufficient supervision and other reasons, the money and food allocated by the court were not implemented in place, which ultimately enriched officials and supervisors, killed civilians, and hacked the court.

Because of this, Yang Ji also seriously considered this matter when he started construction in Luoyang. He had heard before that a large number of people would die in every project. After understanding it, he realized that first, the construction period was tight, and in order to pursue progress, the "contractor"

To please the superiors, the people were forced to do hard work day and night. At the same time, the officials at all levels who were responsible for supervising the work arbitrarily deducted food. The people could only eat one meal. They were hungry, cold, tired, and even after falling ill, they were still forced to do heavy work. Therefore, the death rate of workers

Very serious.

Secondly, it is difficult for local officials to get the money for a big project. Can they not be greedy? Their approach is nothing more than two methods: one is to rely on depriving the people of their rations and annexing the money issued by the court. Their explanation to the people

It's because the court didn't give you money. If you don't work, the whole family will suffer, so

In order to survive, a common man could only work in the cold and hunger until he died. If he died of exhaustion, his family could at least survive. As a result, the court provided enough money, but due to insufficient supervision, etc.,

But it enriched those responsible for supervising the project, and ultimately it was the court and the emperor who were responsible for all the bad reputations.

The second is to ask for ransom money. In order to get a lot of money, the supervisors tortured the husbands in different ways and almost tortured them to death. Then they notified the families of the husbands to sell their fields and houses to redeem their relatives; or they simply tortured them to death.

When the family takes money to redeem the body, if the civilian husband is alive and well, how can the supervisors make a fortune? So this is the reason why many civilian husbands die.

Over the years, Yang Ji has also carried out many large projects in Liangzhou, but due to the supervision in place, no civilians have died from exhaustion. As long as the civilians have enough to eat and get the rewards promised by the court, they will work hard, and they will continue to work hard.

No supervisor is needed.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Yang Ji reminded Yang Guang when the construction of the new capital started, and revealed all the ways and means by which officials deceived and deceived officials to make money during the project.

Yang Guang is indeed impatient, but he is smarter than many people, and he also knows that the root of a country is the people's hearts and livelihood, but he was born with a golden key. He was the Duke of Yanmen County when he was born. He has been aloof for a long time, making him

He knew very little about the lower level, and also knew a lot about the criminal methods of many officials. Once Yang Ji reminded him, he realized the hidden dangers.

The imperial court has provided money and food, but you are greedy and don't say anything about it. Instead, you pretend to be a coward and force the common people to death in the name of the imperial court.

Oh, the imperial court has a lot of money, but not only did you eat up all the money, but you also took away the money and lives of the common people, and in the end I was left to take the blame.

Why?

I have paid for it, so why should I be blamed for this?

Therefore, once Yang Ji reminded Yang Guang that he would take the blame and the country would be in turmoil, he did not hesitate to adopt the project plan implemented by Yang Ji in Liangzhou. Not only did he increase supervision, but he also deliberately made supervisors at all levels behave like before

Corruption, then killing and killing, ransacking and ransacking homes,

In this way, they killed batch after batch and robbed one house after another. In the end, no one dared to be greedy.

Because the civilians received the money and food promised by the imperial court, they not only worked harder and completed the prescribed projects one by one with almost no urging, but also because the imperial court killed batches of greedy overseers, their support for the imperial court was even greater than before. This is the case.

Since then, not only have there been no major casualties in the construction of Luoyang New City, but the construction progress has been even better than that of Daxing City.

Yang Guang killed corrupt officials, gained fame, and gained real benefits from ransacking their homes. He suddenly seemed to have found the key to becoming emperor. He longed for corrupt officials to show up so that he could kill them and ransack their homes as fast as he could, so this year he

In addition to building the new capital of Luoyang and digging canals, he also ordered the widening and leveling of the Eighth Routes of Taihang. Then, a group of people were killed and a group of people were confiscated.

Bingzhou and Jizhou used to be Yang Liang's territory. After he rebelled, it became the hardest hit area of ​​the civil war. The people were extremely disgusted by the fire that Yang Su Gaobiling burned, and the court was extremely disgusted and did not recognize Yang Guang and the court. But Yang Guang was in

Taihang Baxing

During the project, a large number of the most hated corrupt officials and local bullies who came into contact with the people were killed. The people applauded and applauded. They actually recognized the imperial court and Yang Guang, and felt that Yang Guang was an emperor who truly cared about the people.

, Holy King.

They believe that the reason why so many people died in the war is to blame the treacherous king Yang Liang. If they had not plotted rebellion and were corrupt and perverted the law, Emperor Daye, who was "for the sake of the people", would not have turned against him. In the end, the people

He Minfu actually spontaneously made a few ugly Wanmin umbrellas and entrusted the Yushi Yanguan to give them to Yang Guang.

But these ugly Umbrellas gave Yang Guang a great sense of accomplishment and felt they were more precious than any other rare treasures; the crooked names written by the common people and their husbands on the cloth strips also made Yang Guang more precious than anyone else.

A famous calligrapher's handwriting must be beautiful.

As a result, Yang Guang opened another official road in Bingzhou. This official road starts from Jiangzhou in the south, goes north along the Fen River, and ends at Yunzhou in the north of Bingzhou. Once completed, the time from Jiangzhou to Yunzhou will be

Reduce the time by five days.

But what makes Yang Guang regretful is that the officials in the places where the official road passes are actually shrewd.

After all, after he has been working on it for so many months, officials at all levels know that any project approved by the imperial court is a huge death trap. Anyone who dares to take a fucking bribe will have their family ruined and their reputation ruined.

The cost of corruption is too great. It is really hard to be greedy and cannot afford to be greedy. Every one of them has become an upright and good official who loves the people as their own children.

Since Bingzhou could not be merged, Yang Guang then built an official road in Yongzhou. This official road started from Yongzhou in Guanzhong, entered Fuzhou, and went north along the Luoshui River (there are two Luoshui rivers), passing through Yanzhou and Xiazhou.

, leading directly to Fengzhou in the north. Once completed, it will shorten the journey by five or six days. In the future, whether it is doing business or moving troops north, it will be very convenient, and it will also strengthen the imperial court's control over the north.

This road was built not long ago, and it really gave Yang Guang a lot of money.

Because Yongzhou (Dazhou) is the traditional territory of Guanlong nobles, and these people have been extremely arrogant since Yuwentai. Not only do they think that without them, the Sui Dynasty will not be able to survive, but they also think that Yang Guang has the same temperament as Yang Jian.

As long as they didn't go too far during the project, Yang Guang would turn a blind eye, so on this road, local officials and local powerful people took action one after another.

The result is beyond doubt!

They were all captured by Yang Guang.

Yang Guang and Yang Ji communicated with each other in private, so Yang Ji knew everything about it.

Yang Ji quite approves of Yang Guang's actions in the past few months. As long as Yang Guang always maintains this attitude of being one with the people, and as long as all the funds for the projects he undertakes are fully paid, instead of being pocketed by officials,

Then, the people will support this court, and even if the world is in chaos in the future, Yang Guang will not lose the support of the people.

If those rebellious ministers and traitors had the support of the people, they would be a temporary disaster at most and could not shake the foundation of the Sui Dynasty at all. Even if the court was caught off guard at first, in the middle and later stages, with the strong support of the people and popularity, the rebellious ministers and traitors could be wiped out.

.

"When will we go back?" Xiao Ying asked.

"It's hard to say!" Yang Ji thought for a moment and said, "Before moving the capital, the saint should inform us, but formal attire is also a very time-consuming task. It is always right to prepare it first."

Xiao Ying nodded and said softly: "What Lang Jun said is absolutely true."

The four of them chatted for a while. Liu Rumei and Pei Shuying saw their husband yawning again and again, so they exited the lobby and returned to their rooms in a tacit understanding.

Yang Ji and Xiao Ying put down the tea in their hands and returned to the master bedroom on the second floor, sitting side by side in front of the bed and talking.

At this time, Qiu Shui Qiuyue came over with water for washing feet: "Your Majesty, Madam, please rest after washing your feet."

Yang Ji took off his shoes and socks, soaked in medicinal soup, and said to Xiao Ying who was standing aside: "Madam, you should take a bath for a while and sleep."

Xiao Ying said softly: "Langjun, let's go clubbing first, and I'll do it later..."

"The water will get cold later, and it will be a waste of time." Yang Ji looked at his wife as shy as a spring flower and an autumn moon, and found it quite interesting.

The four of them have done a lot of ridiculous things. They are accustomed to taking baths together and sleeping together, but they have never done something as common as soaking their feet together.

Xiao Ying glanced at Yang Ji with a mixture of anger and shame, but without saying anything else, she took off her shoes and socks.

Yang Ji looked down and saw a pair of snow-white jade feet on the ground. The toes were like lying silkworms, so cute. The red nails painted with impatiens juice made the soles of the feet look like jade, and he couldn't help but be even more crazy.

Xiao Ying noticed that her husband's eyes were on her feet, and she couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, her cheeks burning.

Yang Ji chuckled and moved his eyes away from Xiao Yingguang's white and tender jade feet, which were as white as glass and with ten jade toes like bamboo shoots. He said to himself that he had never paid much attention to it before. He never thought that A Ying's toes were also so delicate and cute. What a beauty.

There are beautiful treasures "girls" everywhere, waiting to be discovered one by one.
