Feng Yuzhi's straightforwardness is quite endearing, and his emotional impulses come and go quickly.
According to Lingnan customs, if you put on the tooth comb, you are allowed to marry, and if you take off the tooth comb, you are not allowed to marry, so Yang Ming accepted it with peace of mind.
As soon as I woke up in the morning, Xu Jing, who was guarding outside the tent, came in.
"Xiao Xuan, the governor of Danyang, has been waiting for you outside the tent for an hour. Do you want to see you?"
This guy is really good. Local officials are not allowed to leave their jurisdiction without any reason. What excuse did he use to come out? He used to earn an empty salary in Jiangxia County, but now he is a prefect. How can he not do his job?
After Yang Ming dismissed Yan Xiaotang, he ordered Xu Jing to bring the people in.
When we last met in Jingzhou, Yang Ming was still the King of Hedong and the general manager of Jingzhou, but now, Yang Ming is the most noble among the Sui princes.
As soon as Xiao Xuan came in, his back was not straight, and he always had a humble posture. It happened that Yang Ming had not put on his shoes yet, so the other party hurried over and wanted to put on Yang Ming's boots.
He was obviously a son of a noble family and a local governor, but his businessman aura was a bit too strong.
"Cousin, there's no need to be so aloof. You and I are cousins after all," Yang Ming grabbed the boots and didn't give the other party this chance.
Xiao Xuan then went to get a coat from the hanger, put it on Yang Ming, and then added some charcoal to the fire.
Too tactful, Yang Ming asked: "My cousin came to see me, there must be something wrong, right?"
Xiao Xuan nodded, came to Yang Ming, bent down and said: "Yesterday, Your Highness went to the camp, but I didn't dare to show up to meet you, because I escaped here secretly."
This is a smart person. He took the initiative to answer the question that Yang Ming was most concerned about, and he told the truth without asking for any questions.
Danyang County has three counties, Jiangning County, Lishui County, and Dangtu County. It belongs to Xiazhong County, so Xiao Xuan's grade will not be very high. However, Jiangning County is Nanjing, and Lishui County is the Nanjing of later generations.
Lishui District, Dangtu County is Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province.
These three places, close to the Yangtze River, are absolutely wealthy places with a lot of oil and water.
Yang Ming couldn't help but smile and said: "It's worth sneaking away for my cousin. Is there something that needs to be solved urgently in the capital?"
"Yes, I came to the capital just to see you," Xiao Xuan said:
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, the family's water transport business has never changed anyone since I took over it when I was sixteen years old. I have also worked conscientiously and never made any mistakes. This time, I suddenly changed to a descendant of the collateral lineage. I can't understand this knot in my heart."
, so I took the liberty to ask to see His Highness."
Yang Ming pretended to be stupid and said, "You know, I never interfere with the affairs of my mother's family. I understand what you mean, but you are looking for the wrong person when you come to me."
"Definitely not," Xiao Xuan said: "Seventh Uncle Xiao Yu has already said hello to the clan, asking us to cooperate well with the Dugu family. The elders guessed that it was the Queen's intention. Your Highness is close to the Dugu family. Can you help me?"
What you say is more effective than anyone else."
In fact, Xiao Xuan knew very well that it was probably Yang Ming's idea to replace him. Who got him involved with Yang Jian?
Yang Ming said calmly: "Danyang County is a rich and prosperous place. If you don't do a good job as a county guard, why do you think about doing business all day long?"
"Your Highness is laughing," Xiao Xuan said embarrassedly: "My uncles are also scolding me, saying that I am not doing my job properly, but I just like to lead the fleet on the river and do business with people from the south to the north.
Being an official is not what I want."
This is really strange. It is really rare for someone who comes from a noble family and does not want to be an official but wants to do business.
Just like Yang Ming's third uncle Yang Jun, he is born to be the kind of person who loves money. He is closer to him when he sees money than when he meets his parents.
Xiao Xuan was scolded in the clan, which was considered a minor offense. He should be beaten or driven out of the house because Xiao Xuan's father, Xiao Cong, was the Duke of Liang. He had such a big title waiting for him to attack, and he went to
Running a canoe?
Historically, Yang Guang first gave Liang Guogong to Xiao Cong. After Xiao Cong's death, his fifth brother Xiao Xun inherited the title. After Xiao Xun's death, his eldest son Xiao Ju inherited the title.
Xiao Xun, the fifth son, produced seven prime ministers and three princes-in-law in the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "As a prefect, I am not in charge of the government affairs of the district. If I run around here and there to transport water, it will cause criticism and is inappropriate."
"If Your Highness can find a way to remove me as the governor and let me take care of the family's water transportation, I can only be grateful," Xiao Xuan said.
Yang Ming was stunned
There is a specialization in the art industry, so this is definitely a talent, it belongs to what you do and love.
"I don't have the ability," Yang Ming said with a bitter smile: "I won't do it either. You should give up this idea as soon as possible."
"The water ships are mine and no one else can take over them," Xiao Xuan said anxiously: "Only I can manage it well. The water gangs in the Jianghuai area all give me face. Only I can convince Wang Shichong not to take up the idea of water transportation.
"
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Why can you convince Wang Shichong?"
"This man is two-faced. Although he was once a staff member of the King of Qi, he is not loyal. He is greedy for small profits but has no righteousness. He is easily bribed," Xiao Xuan said.
Really? In history, people have been proclaimed emperors, but you, Xiao Xuan, have not received a single mention in the history books. You actually think you can control a hero who will leave his name in history?
Based on this sentence alone, Yang Ming was not optimistic about Xiao Xuan. In the Sui Dynasty, those who did not like power and liked money were actually idiots.
Those who do business will never be able to compete with those who are officials.
Moreover, he felt that this person was spineless and unreliable.
"I really have no choice. Stop talking," Yang Ming said in a serious tone.
Xiao Xuan didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had no choice but to retreat.
Early in the morning, Gao Yue disappeared because Chang Suncheng's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gao, also came for this year's spring outing.
She was not looking for a wife for Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Anye, the third son of Changsun Cheng.
The eldest grandson, Anye, is twenty-three years old this year. He is a spring outing laity. He has been coming here for six consecutive years and has failed to make a living.
First of all, he was not the eldest son, and the eldest son Sun Cheng did not value him. Secondly, this boy was drunk, lustful and gambling. He was a person with all five poisons.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s not that Zhang Suncheng didn’t want to take care of it. He beat, scolded and scolded her, but it was no use. In the end, he simply ignored it and did as he pleased.
There is a reason why Changsun Anye is like this. This boy is the prison general of Yanxing Gate, the east gate of the capital. He is very rich and has no shortage of money at all. If he spends it today, he will have it tomorrow. He can make money every day.
daily closing position.
To put it bluntly, he was corrupted by money.
Mrs. Gao is the stepmother of Changsun Anye. She is quite concerned about her stepson's marriage, even though she is not a few years older than Changsun Anye.
At noon, Gao Yue came back, dragging along an embarrassed-looking Gao family.
She was embarrassed in two ways.
First of all, something was wrong with her from the first time she met Yang Ming. It couldn't be described as that feeling. It was as if she should have had a husband of Yang Ming's age, but she was married to an old man like Chang Suncheng, so she had feelings for young men.
A sense of mystery and curiosity.
Furthermore, coming here during lunch time means that you are just coming to eat for lunch, so I must be embarrassed.
Yang Ming put down Kuaizi and told Xu Jing to go to the kitchen to prepare some more dishes, and then asked Mr. Gao to sit down.
Gao didn't dare to sit down, so she was forced to sit down by Gao Yue.
"My sister is encountering some difficulties, and I hope that Your Highness can help." After saying that, Gao Yue took off the curtain. After the incident of beating her brother Gao Lande, she did not dare to let others see her face.
She even looks forward to growing old soon so that when she is old and yellow, no one will care about her body anymore.
Of course, before that, she hoped that Yang Ming would favor her.
One person came to ask for help in the morning, and another one came at noon. Are there any more in the evening?
Yang Ming nodded and said, "It's okay, just tell me."
Gao Yue said: "Anye has taken a liking to a girl from the Pei family. This child's reputation is not very good, and she is afraid that the girl will not like her, so my sister thought that if His Highness can help, this matter can be done."
It's really awkward to call this sister from your mouth. Although you are older than Gao, you look much younger than her.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Which Pei family?"
"Secretary provincial writer Lang Peisi, her daughter is sixteen this year, and she is just right for An Ye," Gao Yue said with a smile.
Changsun Anye was the person who drove the Changsun Wuji brothers and sisters out of the family in history. He was such a nobody. Although Yang Ming had never met him, he didn't like him at all.
"How old is An Ye?" Yang Ming asked.
Mrs. Gao quickly whispered: "Twenty-three."
When she said this, she glanced at Yang Ming, and when she found that Yang Ming was also looking at her, she immediately lowered her head shyly.
Oh my god, can you stop doing this? Yang Ming was speechless.
Gao Yue also noticed something strange. He looked at Gao and then at Yang Ming, his face full of doubts.
Yang Ming just wanted to get rid of the other party as soon as possible, so he said: "I will ask someone to say hello. Whether it can be done depends on them."
After saying that, Yang Ming slipped out of the tent and went to Yan Xiaotang's place.
After Xiao Xuan met Yang Ming, he immediately left the camp and headed towards Luoyang.
Yang Jian has now taken people to Luoyang to prepare for the opening of the North-South Canal.
After all, there were a few staff members in Prince Qi's palace who understood the overall situation. They were also afraid of squeezing Hebei too much and causing civil unrest, so they gave Yang Xun the idea to marry Feng An's daughter from Lingnan, so that he could be transferred from Lingnan.
Some food to meet urgent needs.
Lingnan used to be very short of food because farming was not widespread enough and there was not a lot of farmland reclaimed. However, when Yang Guang was the general manager of Yangzhou, he was always trying to popularize farming in Lingnan, because if he wanted to manage the people well, the best way was to follow them.
The land is tied together.
In Lingnan right now, a large number of new acres of land are being added every year, and grain production is increasing year after year, so there is no shortage of grain.
Although Feng Yuzhi told Yang Ming that they didn't even have enough food to eat, she was actually talking nonsense.
A truly smart person will not reveal his wealth. Feng An still hopes that he can ask the court for some subsidies if he is poor.
Yang Guang is not a fool, and the subsidies are nothing. This year, he sent Sili to Lingnan to inspect the land without Yang Wanqing.
