Fang Xuanling came to Hedong. He was called here by Yang Ming.
Because the East Palace also needs to change its clothes, Yang Ming does not need Yang Guang to remind him, but Yang Ming also knows who should give priority to the armor weapons that are built first.
One is the emperor's imperial army, the other is the prince's imperial guards, and then it is the turn of other military offices. When it is beneficial, it has always been done from top to bottom. I have never seen it from bottom to top.
As blast furnaces were erected one after another, the shipment volume of the smelting yards increased exponentially. Yang Xiong was in charge of Guanzhong resource allocation in the capital, half of which was reserved for the Guanzhong smelting kilns and the other half was transported to Hedong.
Because Chidao consumes a lot of the treasury, the treasury actually doesn't have much money, and it currently relies on support from Bashu.
Yang Ming had already told Southwest Xingtai: Make money, make money, make money.
The complex political issues in Bashu cannot be solved in a short time, but money can be made. After all, Bashu is like a fish pond in the backyard of the Sui Dynasty. Due to various factors, the fish in this fish pond are now plump.
Fishing season.
Yang Gongren and Wang Shilong are both experts in making money, and they have many tricks.
Bashu is different from other places. Almost every county here has the so-called big family with the surname A. There are no huge wealthy families like Guanzhong, Shandong, and Jiangnan. They are relatively scattered, but they have very deep control over the local area.
.
As a result, the Sui Dynasty's control over Bashu would form a strange situation, that is, official authority and private authority.
The official authority is the officials from the Sui Dynasty, and the private authority is the local big family. No one family can have the final say. Things must be unanimously approved by both families before it counts.
The local wealthy families in Bashu are very easy to distinguish, as long as the surnames are Tu, Zan, E, Du, Xi, Ba, Fan, Qin (Qin), Xiang, Shu, Guo, Tong, Chang, Man, Zi, Mou, Du, Tuo,
Wu, mother, Ju, Fu, Qiao, Gou, Gou, Ju, Lan, Pi, Cun, Sheep, Chi, Ruo, Guan, Chong, Rabbit, most likely they are from Bashu.
In addition, there are Xie, Li, Pu, Luo, Yang, Du, Gong, Qin, Liao, He and Zheng. These surnames are also found in the Central Plains.
There are many tycoons in Bashu, but compared with the tycoons in Guanzhong, they are just small local tyrants.
Precisely because there are many, it is easy to divide them and attack them. Because they are not united, no wealthy family in the Bashu region has enough prestige and strength to lead other families.
"How is Xizai doing over there?" Yang Ming took Fang Xuanling for a walk in the training ground. The latter was shocked by the heated scene around him. He came back to his senses when he heard Yang Ming's question.
"Qiao, Li, Xie, Yang, and Gong are the most popular officials at the moment. Most of the official vacancies opened by Yang Shangshu have been bought by these companies," Fang Xuanling said:
"Pei Xizai's report to the East Palace stated that many Bashu disciples are indeed worthy and qualified for higher positions, but it just involves official rank, and Yang Shangshu and others do not dare to make the decision easily."
Yang Ming nodded: "The issue in Bashu is complicated and needs to be taken slowly. Assistant officials and minor officials can give it, but the chief officer must not. Be careful that people rely on official power to become powerful. I will say hello to Yang Gongren and Wang Shilong.
Be sure to check this barrier."
People in Bashu who want to be chief officials above the county magistrate can only do so in places other than Bashu. They don't even think about it in the local area. Otherwise, the official authority and the private authority will take care of it, which is difficult to control.
Fang Xuanling said: "This year's scientific examination will be held in Luoyang. Has the prince heard about it?"
Yang Ming nodded: "Are you talking about the one named Qiao? I heard that he was selected as a Jinshi by His Majesty and was sent to Jiangnan to serve as a county magistrate?"
The Qiao surname was already a prominent family in Bashu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a man named Qiao Zong was the founding monarch of Western Shu, one of the Sixteen Kingdoms.
Later, the rise of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty ended the great division of the Sixteen Kingdoms and entered the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Later, Yang Jian unified the country and promoted the reunification of China.
The two most respected emperors of China in the entire Western society are Qin Shihuang and Yang Jian. Anyone who has played Age of Empires knows that if you choose China in the game, the emperor will be Yang Jian.
What the two have in common is that they ended the long-term division of China and realized the unification of China, as well as the formation of the two major official systems in ancient China.
The Three Gongs and Nine Ministers system and the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system.
Among them, the system of three provinces and six ministries laid the foundation for a centralized political structure and the basic framework of the feudal official system for all later dynasties, which was still used until the Qing Dynasty.
Another thing they have in common is that their son failed to live up to expectations and died in his second life.
In history, all scholars have criticized Yang Guang verbally and in writing because they hated him for not fighting. Hu Hai can be said to have caused instability in the world and changed the minds of the people of the six countries. However, what a good situation the Sui Dynasty had, you were completely defeated.
In this year's scientific examination, a man named Qiao Wending from Bashu successfully emerged and became a Jinshi. It was not because of his ability, but because Yang Guang did it deliberately, in order to use this person as an example and let other wealthy families in Bashu see that talent.
The rising channel of manufacturing.
The power of hope is very terrifying. Bashu, who have been shunned by the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years, will naturally seize the opportunity once an opportunity arises, so they will think about how to go up, rather than how to make small moves below. This pair of Bashu
Maintaining stability is crucial.
Fang Xuanling mentioned this person because he was not convinced. He was also selected by scientific examination, but at that time he was only sent to Xicheng as a county captain.
There is a big difference between a county captain and a county magistrate. The county magistrate can decide on his own choice of county captain.
Yang Ming heard the dissatisfaction in Fang Xuanling's tone and said with a smile: "Xuanling's Qi-nurturing skills are still short of heat, what? If you want to be a county magistrate, I can arrange one for you?"
Fang Xuanling waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no, I just feel a little unhappy. The prince first proposed ten subjects to select talents, which was to select good talents for me in the Sui Dynasty. But now it seems that he only has skin appearance and no bones."
"Don't be anxious," Yang Ming said as he walked: "The scientific examination was our first initiative in the Sui Dynasty. Such a groundbreaking move requires time to gradually improve and mature. It cannot be accomplished overnight."
You are a related household yourself, how dare you laugh at Qiao Wending? To put it bluntly, it is the deep-seated contempt of the Central Plains clan for the Bashu clan.
Fang Xuanling continued: "What do you think of the matter of Xuanting and Wei Zheng? When I go back this time, everyone will definitely ask me what you mean."
Yang Ming said calmly: "Tell them that matters in the East Palace are state affairs. State affairs are divided into major and minor matters, and there are also pros and cons. If people have to speak, if Wei Zheng can be beaten for saying a word, then all the officials in the East Palace will be beaten, right?"
Should everyone shut up?"
"I will bring back His Highness's original words," Fang Xuanling nodded.
Originally, Fang Xuanling would leave in two days, but Yang Ming suddenly felt that it would be better to let him go back later.
Because he wants to see how Li Jing handles this matter, and what Yang Xuanting and the others will do after handling it?
If Yang Ming still dares to be presumptuous, he will have to deal with it ruthlessly.
Watching the climate change, a heavy snow suddenly came.
Regarding this, the refinery has already taken precautions. There is a layer of wooden boards on the top of each blast furnace to prevent rain and snow from flooding the furnace. Moreover, the threshold inside the greenhouse is also high to prevent rainwater from entering.
The ancients' rich experience in the construction industry and their exquisite construction were completely beyond Yang Ming's expectations.
It is true that the architecture of later generations is indeed not as beautiful as that of ancient times. It mainly depends on a wood carving. Or carpenters were the most popular in ancient times. With this craft, you really can't live without it.
The current Grand Governor's Mansion has been undergoing constant renovation and construction. Normally, it should be located in Wenxi County or Hedong County, but the training ground is so important that the Grand Governor's Mansion must be located there, and there are two in Hedong.
The military government is also moving to Tangying Township.
Yang Ming lived here, so Dugu Huaien, the governor, could only live in a remote courtyard.
"It's snowing outside, are you taking a bath here?" Yang Ming looked at Dugu Feng'er in the bathtub curiously, and asked the maid to add a few more stoves to prevent Dugu Feng'er from freezing.
Dugu Feng'er hugged her knees with her hands, frowned and said with a smile: "Don't look at anything inappropriate."
Yang Ming smiled, sat down aside, and said, "Ms. Lou is already rushing here. You will see her in a few days. There are some things you need her to teach you."
Dugu Feng'er asked in confusion: "What can grandma teach me?"
"Of course it's to please my husband," Yang Ming said slyly.
Dugu Feng'er blushed instantly.
She knew only a little about that aspect of the matter, and Dugu Jialuo's training on her was mostly about her personality, and did not involve sexual intercourse between men and women.
And the Dugu family also forgot to teach them. After all, their daughter was not marrying a matchmaker, so they didn't have time to prepare for anything.
The reason why I still know a little about it is because Dugu Feng'er asked Chen Shuyi.
Who can you ask? Why don't you ask her?
So Dugu Feng'er said: "Close your eyes first."
Yang Ming cooperated and closed his eyes, and then heard the sound of water flowing out. Gradually, a fragrant wind came, and Dugu Feng'er sat on Yang Ming's body.
But next, she didn't know what to do.
Chen Shuyi told her that it was okay to sit on a chair, but she felt that it wasn't possible.
After a while, Yang Ming opened his eyes, looked at Dugu Feng'er who looked embarrassed, and said with a smile:
"You made my clothes wet. Okay, I have business matters to discuss later."
Dugu Feng'er stood up in a panic, then ran back to the bathtub naked and squatted down, not daring to look at Yang Ming again.
Yang Ming, on the other hand, continued to look at her with a smirk on his face.
When I first saw Feng'er, she was already so thin that she was out of shape, but now her body has recovered, her bones and flesh are even, and her skin is healthy, white and rosy.
Thinking about this girl's past experience, Yang Ming felt heartbroken.
If her grandmother Dugu Jialu had not given Feng'er to herself, she would not have suffered that ordeal.
Yang Ming stood up and was about to leave. When Dugu Feng'er heard the noise, he raised his head suddenly and said:
"Why do you have to wait for grandma? Can't you teach me?"
Yang Ming stopped where he was. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and smiled:
