The reason why Yang Ming chose Shen Lun was because he had real talent and learning.
When Yang Liang was the general manager of Jingzhou, Shen Lun worked as a miscellaneous worker in the general manager's office and also worked as a clerk in the Jiangling County government office. He was an authentic scholar and was very business-minded. He was responsible for half of the Shen family's canals. Take care of.
Such people basically have no chance of rising up because of their poor background.
But Yang Ming gave him this opportunity.
So when Yang Ming met him for the first time, Shen Lun looked so grateful that he wished he could die in front of Yang Ming to show his loyalty.
This is the problem with literati, especially those trained in Confucianism. Everyone feels that their talents are not appreciated. Once they meet Bole, they feel that they have to make great achievements.
However, this person still has ambitions and appreciates promotion. At the same time, he also knows that this opportunity is rare.
After a brief conversation with him, Yang Ming was quite satisfied. This person had served in the General Administration Office and the county government successively. He was familiar with some local affairs and explained things clearly and logically.
It made Yang Ming feel that he had not chosen the wrong person.
In fact, there are talents everywhere, but there is a lack of opportunities, and most of their upward paths are blocked.
"No matter what the difference, you are still thirteen years old." Yang Ming knew what she wanted to say, so he changed the subject and said: "If you feel that staying in the mansion is too boring, you can go out for a walk. The scenery in Jingzhou is different from Guanzhong, and it is very worth it. Have a good time.”
County lieutenant? This is a good job. Pang Tao said with a playful smile: "I accept my order in this humble position."
After boarding the ship, the ship went south along the river, first to Baling County, then north along the Yangtze River to Jiangxia County, from Jiangxia to Hanshui River, and to the west is Xiangyang County.
Li Jing could indeed gain experience in this battle, and Yang Su also fulfilled his promise.
Who let people come from the palace?
In the next few days, Yang Ming specially called Yuan Wendu and Pang Ben and reprimanded them respectively. His attitude was very stern. It probably meant that if they were at odds again in the future, they would both get out of here.
Pang Tao nodded quickly: "Your Highness, don't worry, you know the importance of your humble position. If I slander you, I will smear myself with a knife."
Yang Ming said: "He is also short of manpower. Let's select 200 people from the guards in Qianya and put them at his disposal."
"Your Highness, how did this happen?" Pang Tao frowned.
The chief officer of the Jingzhou Port Water Department is called Du Shuiwei, who is sent from the Ministry of Industry and belongs to Guanzhong.
If we look at the historical process, Yang Su's attack on the Turks from the north will return with a great victory, Bujia Khan will flee to the Tuguhun area, and Qimin Khan will regain his tribe and become the leader of the Eastern Turks. Khan.
This time Yang Su was the marching marshal and came out of Lingzhou (Wuzhong City, Ningxia). Changsun Sheng was the envoy to accept the surrender and took Qimin Khan to Shengzhou to attack Bujia Khan.
That's why Yang Ming arranged for Pang Tao to be the Jiangling County Lieutenant. Despite his young age, he was a Wu Sanguan with a Brigade Cavalry Lieutenant, which was two ranks higher than Fang Xuanling's original Yu Cavalry Lieutenant.
Jingzhou Port was the second largest port in the Sui Dynasty after Jiangdu, and its water transport trade was quite developed.
"Okay, okay, let's all go down," he said, sending the two of them away, and Yang Ming sat alone in the hall, deep in thought.
When Pang Ben saw this, he hurriedly said: "Just do what His Highness wants. I will allocate 200 people for him today."
Pang Ben came from the imperial palace. He was a good at flattering his superiors and had a good way of restraining his subordinates, but Yang Ming did not have high expectations for him.
When Yang Yinjiang saw this, she obediently stopped asking and could only sigh in her heart.
As for Li Jing, he will lead 8,000 troops from Hedong, go north to join Chang Sun Sheng's army, depart from Shuozhou (Shuozhou, Shanxi), and head towards Shengzhou (Yulin, Shaanxi) to flank the Turks.
Is it true that 1.4 billion people can't choose 11 people who can play football? Impossible.
Pang Ben also said at the side: "He is the chief official of the General Palace, and we are His Highness's personal guards. According to the regulations, he really shouldn't use us."
Tuli was defeated, and later, under the persuasion of Chang Sun Sheng, he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. He was named Yili Zhendou Qimin Khan by Yang Jian, or Qimin Khan for short, and he and his tribe were settled in Shuozhou.
"It's nothing, it's just that he always calls on his subordinates. I had a few words with him, which made it a bit unpleasant. We all followed His Highness out, and we only listened to His Highness. Who is he? Assign us?”
A few days later, Yang Ming heard something from Xu Jing, so he called Pang Ben and his cousin Pang Tao.
"What's going on with your boy and Yuan Wen?" Yang Ming asked in a deep voice.
The yamen responsible for managing Jingzhou Port is called the Capital Water Department, which is affiliated to the Ministry of Water, one of the four departments of the Ministry of Industry.
Qimin Khan of Shuozhou, also known as Tuli Khan, was named Ranqian.
But Yang Ming doesn't intend to do this. First of all, Shen Lun is not worth it. What should a small county captain have to worry about?
Furthermore, Yang Ming didn't like this approach very much. Although it was undeniable that it was an effective way to monitor the loyalty of his subordinates, it was still somewhat inferior.
At that time, the Turks fell into Chang Sun Sheng's alienation plan. The Dulan Khan of the Eastern Turks, Yong Yulu, joined forces with the Datou Khan of the Western Turks to attack the Tuli Khan.
Less than a year after he arrived in Jingzhou, the General Manager's Office secretly divided into two factions, one was the literati faction headed by Yuan Wendu, and the other was the martial arts faction headed by Pang Ben.
The Ministry of Water is in charge of matters such as Chuandu, Jinji (ferries), boats and boats, canals and bridges, dikes, ditches (field irrigation waterways), fishing, canal transportation, milling (water-powered stone mills), etc.
Yang Ming went there this time mainly because he wanted to see the Jingzhou navy, but mainly because he wanted to meet someone.
When leaving this time, Yang Ming did not take Xu Jing with him. He only asked Chen Kui to take 500 soldiers, and he and Yang Yinjiang left the city and went to Jingzhou Port to take a boat.
Yang Yinjiang was waiting for him to ask: "I am already seventeen years old this year. Although you are only thirteen years old, your height is no different from that of a fifteen-year-old. You are almost catching up with me."
Yang Ming pondered for a moment and said in a cold voice: "You kid, don't stay in the Governor's Mansion. There happens to be a vacancy in the Sheriff's Mansion. You can become a County Lieutenant."
If you take the land route from Gangneung, it will only take one and a half days to the north, but if you take the water route, you will have to go through a big circle and it will take about seven or eight days.
Alas. You still don’t want to change the subject.
Speaking of one and a half years ago, Yang Ming suddenly thought that his grandmother Dugu Jialuo would pass away in another year.
However, Yang Ming still told Yang Yinjiang that such a maid should be selected from some beautiful and clever maids, and must be absolutely reliable, so that if she is needed in the future, nothing will go wrong.
In mid-August, Yang Ming received a letter from Li Jing, saying that the Sui Dynasty was about to send troops.
As for what kind of lord Li Jing would be awarded after this victory, Yang Ming didn't really care. As for lord, it's all a trivial matter.
"It's like you've been shopping there?" Yang Yinjiang knew that he was avoiding her topic, so she rolled her eyes and said, "It's already August, and in less than a year and a half, Dugu Feng'er should also be here."
"Don't be anxious," Yang Ming said with a solemn expression: "If you dare to mess around outside and ruin my reputation, I will kill you."
This Qimin Khan Ranqian had five sons, of which three were more famous in history, namely the eldest Shibi Khan Duo Jishi, the second Chuluo Khan Qilifushe, and the third son Jieli Ke Sweat.
Where to go? To Xiangyang County.
The methods of inferiority can only be used on inferior people.
After Du Shuiwei Li Heng received the news, he arranged six large ships for Yang Ming early. These six ships were all official ships. Each ship could carry a hundred people. They were currently the largest ships seen on the Yangtze River.
After settling the two people, Yang Ming planned to take Yang Yinjiang out.
Yes, in this era, giving birth to ten children would cause great damage to the body. It is said that when the fourth daughter, Princess Yang Wenxuan of Lechang, was born, it was difficult to give birth and she almost didn't survive.
Because Pang Ben had the disgusting feeling of being a disciple of Guanzhong, that is, he didn't take anyone outside Guanzhong into consideration, but deep down he was absolutely loyal to the royal family.
Until his death six years later, Qimin had always been a vassal to the Sui Dynasty.
Pang Tao is twenty-seven years old today. He was called your boy by Yang Ming, but he didn't feel it was inappropriate at all. He smiled and said:
It was August now, four months before the end of the year, and Yang Ming knew that he would definitely win this battle. In fact, during the entire Sui Dynasty, he never suffered a loss when facing the Turks.
Yang Yinjiang handed him the chopsticks with her own hands and said with a smile: "Why don't you adopt my idea?"
But Yang Ming knew from the letter from his eldest brother Yang Zhao that his grandmother's health was getting worse day by day.
If he doesn't call you, who will he call? The only soldiers in the General Manager's Mansion are you.
His cousin Pang Ben also kicked him: "Do it well, if you dare to mess around, your highness won't need to say anything, I will chop you up first."
After Shen Lun left, Yang Ming came to Yang Yinjiang's courtyard, where he would have dinner tonight.
"No need," Yang Ming smiled and lowered his head to eat.
No ability, it doesn't matter, loyalty is the greatest ability.
Among them, the third one, Jie Li, was the one who made the Weishui Alliance with Li Shimin in history.
Prior to this, Yang Yinjiang had suggested to Yang Ming to reward Shen Lun with a maid. Since it was a reward from Yang Ming, this girl would definitely become Shen Lun's concubine and an informant for Yang Ming to monitor Shen Lun.
Yang Ming's face instantly darkened.
The Xiangyang Huqi Mansion was the Shangfu. The number of soldiers was fixed at 1,500, but since it also commanded the Xiangyang Navy, an additional 1,500 were added.
In this way, it is destined that 8,000 people in Hedong will be exempted from taxes this year, and there will be rewards for winning battles. This expenditure will be allocated from the taxes in Hedong, and Fang Xuanling will have to find a way to make up for the shortfall.
Although he sent letters of greetings to Daxing every month, Dugu Jialu's reply also said that everything was fine.
Wuya and Huanglong are both at Shuijun Pier and are basically invisible.
During the meal, Yang Yinjiang sighed deliberately,
Yang Ming asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Yang Ming still has true feelings for Dugu Jialuo, so thinking about this makes him somewhat sad.
What is there to see on the land? The scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River is the most magnificent. Especially on the Yangtze River at this time, you can see white-fin dolphins jumping out of the water from time to time.
This was the first time Yang Ming saw this kind of Yangtze River spirit.
As for Yang Yinjiang, she was stunned because it was her first time to see the Yangtze River.
From the Sui Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Yangtze River was called the Yangtze River, and from the Northern Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was called the Dajiang River.
