Samurai Yu did not say how much he was willing to pay, only that he would do his best.
It depends on how hard you try. The most I can give you here is a senior official, followed by a general consultation official, an imperial court official, and an imperial minister. As for what I will give you in the end, it depends on how big your contribution is.
Yang Lihua specially reminded the warrior Xun to prepare early, because the military situation waits for no one.
Once you have the title, you can not only feed the state treasury for a long time, but you can also bear the blame. It can be exchanged for a little money. It is very cost-effective. The soldiers at the front are willing to pay for it with their lives.
In fact, if it weren't for Shandong's current difficulties, Yang Ming wouldn't have given the other party a chance to donate money. I can touch the treasury, but your little money is nothing compared to the treasury. That is to say, the treasury has no money at the moment, you brat.
It's time to catch up.
The ancestral graves of the Wu family were filled with smoke.
After Li Jiancheng and Yuan Tiangang were called back, they continued the conversation.
At this time, Pei Shuang, the Qianniu guard outside, hurriedly ran in with a military report and said excitedly:
"Your Highness, the military station reports that there is a great victory in Shandong."
Yang Ming was stunned, and quickly took the secret military letter, opened it, and moved close to Yang Lihua, and the two of them read it together.
As soon as she finished reading it, Yang Lihua burst into tears, covering her face and weeping.
Yang Ming also sighed deeply and closed the letter.
The others looked at each other in confusion. Jiancheng, who did not regard himself as an outsider, first said:
"But Zhang Xutuo destroyed the rebels?"
Yang Ming nodded: "The rebel Meng Rang was surrounded and suppressed by Zhang Xutuo's general Xiong Bao. The entire army was wiped out and he was captured. Zhang Xutuo had sent people to escort the capital. Wang Bo, who fled to the Bohai Sea, was captured.
Duan Zhongkui under Yujuluo's command invaded Yangxin County, but escaped with his own life, and his troops were wiped out. Yujuluo, with the support of Dugu Gong, personally led his army to hunt down the rebels Sun Xuanya, Liu Badao, and Zhang Xutuo.
Shandong attacked from both sides and defeated the two thieves. In this way, the chaos in Shandong will be put down in three or two months."
Li Jiancheng immediately cheered up and said: "Zhang Xutuo is really effective. Yu Juluo has lived up to His Majesty. It must be Dugu Gong. As soon as he comes forward, the situation in Shandong will immediately turn around and the world will turn around."
Yang Ming nodded and looked at Yang Lihua aside.
Zhang Xutuo's report said that Gao Jiong was seriously ill and bedridden. At Gao Jiong's age, he was most afraid of serious illness. Whether he could survive it depended purely on luck.
Yang Lihua and Gao Jiong have an extraordinary bond. To put it bluntly, in Yang Lihua's case, Gao Jiong is more of her own than Yang Miaozhi.
"Notify the Imperial Medical Office and ask Sun Simiao to rush to Quan County immediately to diagnose and treat Dugu Gong," Yang Ming said to Pei Shuang.
Now, everyone knew that something happened to Gao Jiong. No wonder the eldest princess was crying. At first, Li Jiancheng thought it was because he heard about the great victory in Shandong and the eldest princess was moved to tears.
Would people shed tears over such a thing? Even if the whole Shandong was lost, she wouldn't shed a single tear.
Yang Lihua wiped away her tears and said to the maid beside her: "Let those pickle masters go with Sun Simiao. Dugu Gong loves pickles the most, so they don't have to come back."
"Yes," the maid hurried down to make arrangements.
The most nervous person at the moment is the warrior Yu. If Shandong is pacified, there will be no chance to contribute. This is not possible. Shandong will be in chaos.
He subconsciously looked at Yang Miaozhi, but the latter looked sad and didn't notice him at all.
Yang Miaozhi knew Gao Jiong's position in the hearts of the prince and the eldest princess, so when she heard that Gao Jiong was seriously ill, she had to pretend to be sad.
If she dares to laugh, anything she asks for from others will be shameful.
"Dugu Gong, Lao Ji, solved the country's troubles and deserved the name of Zhuguo," Yang Miaozhi said.
Yang Lihua said sadly: "Shangzhu Kingdom, Shangzhu Kingdom, there are so many Shangzhu Kingdoms, who can compare with the great achievements Dugu Gong has made for us in the Sui Dynasty? They and Dugu Gong are listed as Shangzhu Kingdoms, wouldn't they be ashamed?
?”
It is said that the Tang Dynasty borrowed the Sui Dynasty for 300 years, so in this Sui Dynasty, apart from Yang Jian and his wife, Gao Juong should be the first contributor. He is now re-titled Duke of Qi by Yang Guang, but his title is still the first-class Shangzhu Kingdom.
There were forty or fifty Shangzhu kingdoms in the Sui Dynasty. In Yang Lihua's heart, the sum of these forty or fifty kingdoms was not worth one Gaoqiu.
The person Yang Ming respected the most in his life was also Gao Jiong, so he looked at Yang Lihua and said:
"The eleventh rank of honors and the twelve ranks of martial arts are all ranked first among the above-mentioned Zhu Kingdoms. Dugu Gong has made great contributions to my Yang family and deserves special promotion."
Yang Lihua was stunned, then nodded quickly and said: "That's right. The important weapon of Dugu Principality should be treated specially and an exception should be made. You and I have thought of it together. Which position do you think the special promotion should be?"
Yang Ming thought for a while and said: "Add the Dazhu Kingdom to the honorary title as a special honor. Those who have not made great contributions to the country, have great loyalty to the king, and have great benefits to the people will not be canonized."
"Send a letter to your father as soon as possible to express my intention," Yang Lihua said.
Yang Ming nodded.
As long as the two of them agree, Yang Guang will basically be fine. Besides, Gao Jiong has indeed done practical things for him this time. Zhang Xutuo's report must have been sent to Yang Guang, and the content should be similar.
big.
The report made it very clear that he and Yu Juluo came exactly according to Gao Jiong's instructions.
The warrior Xun could hardly sit still, so he stood up quickly and said: "I also have several good doctors in my family who are willing to take them to Gan County to diagnose Dugu Gong. I also want to go to Shandong in person to understand the current urgent needs of Shandong.
I would like to contribute my little effort."
In the next two or three years, Hebei and Shandong need to intensify efforts to appease the rebels. Otherwise, they will still rebel all over the place, killing a handful and then popping up. Ultimately, you have to cut off the momentum of rebellion from the root.
.
That depends on food.
The Wu family has already made a lot of money by supplying goods to national projects, or else Yang Miaozhi would like him?
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Since you are going to a place, don't do anything for me. I will appoint you as a Shandong Taoist official to inspect Shandong."
The Jin Cao of Wannian County is an official, not a senior official, but a Sili official. He is an official, subordinate to the Sili Terrace, and is a seventh-level official. Doesn’t this cross the line between classes?
As soon as you make a contribution, I will immediately give you a sweetener to encourage you. If you are a sensible person, you will know what to do next.
In name, you are asked to inspect, but in fact, you are asked to pay.
To put it bluntly, this official is what you paid for.
The warrior Xun was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "I will do my best to relieve the country's worries."
Yang Ming nodded. Only then did he have time to look at Yuan Tiangang:
"Sir, you might as well take a look at your face for me."
Yuan Tiangang twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Yang Lihua subconsciously. He really didn't dare to show it to the prince, the risk was too great.
After all, you are still young now, and so is the prince. If you make a mistake, you will have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
But he was a person who never lied about fortune-telling. What should he say? If he really saw that he was good or bad, should he say it or not say it?
Yang Lihua was indifferent, with no expression on her face.
Yuan Tiangang sighed inwardly, took out a bundle of yarrow from the small box beside him, and placed them one by one on the long table in front of him.
There are fifty yarrow roots.
Yuan Tiangang explained: "To give a face to the prince, I don't dare to rely only on my eyes. I also need to perform hexagrams."
What he means is that I use my eyes to see, and if something goes wrong, I have to blame it on me. If something goes wrong through hexagrams, it should be calculated on the Book of Changes. After all, the hexagrams, lines, and words are written clearly in the Book of Changes.
Yang Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Anything is fine."
Yuan Tiangang placed each yarrow according to its specific position, and then said:
"The number of Dayan is fifty, and the number forty is nine. Divide it into two to represent two, hang one to represent three, and cut it into four to represent the four seasons."
After saying that, Yuan Tiangang said: "I dare to ask the prince's birthday."
Yang Ming took the pen, wrote it on the palm of his hand, then asked Yuan Tiangang to come over and take a look, and then wiped it off with a wet wipe.
Yuan Tiangang continued to play with the yarrow and adjusted its position according to Yang Ming's horoscope.
Gradually, cold sweat broke out on his face, his expression became more and more weird, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously.
"You all get out," Yang Lihua brushed her sleeves upon seeing this. Yang Miaozhi, Li Jiancheng and others hurriedly got up and left. They couldn't know what the prince's numerology was like.
Yang Lihua is her aunt, so there is no need to avoid her.
After a while, Yuan Tiangang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Yang Ming, and then at Yang Lihua.
Yang Lihua asked strangely: "What should I say? You are not allowed to hide anything."
Yuan Tiangang swallowed unconsciously and said: "The prince was born at the right time. It should have been a great destiny, but according to the divination, he should have died young at the age of five. As for how to extend his life, I can't see here."
"Nonsense!" Yang Lihua frowned and said, "The prince was a good person, how could it be possible that he died young?"
Yang Ming frowned, what the hell, the calculation is so accurate? I did travel through time when I was five years old. You shouldn't be able to calculate that I am a time traveler, right? Only readers know this.
Yuan Tiangang trembled and said: "The hexagram is indeed like this. Let me get up again and take a look."
After a while, Yuan Tiangang's face became even more ugly.
Yang Lihua was even more anxious than Yang Ming, and asked: "What is the image? Tell me quickly."
Yuan Tiangang's cheek twitched and said: "It's the third hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams. The hexagram says: Difficulty in the beginning, and it's the next hexagram. It means that the prince's life will be difficult, and there are signs of going against the trend. If he can't follow the fate, it may be difficult.
It’s rough and frustrating.”
Yang Ming sighed, I have to wipe my father's butt, clean up the family, and reform the land. Isn't this a difficult life?
The "Book of Changes" is one of the three great ancient Chinese books, and it is indeed not a masterpiece.
Yang Lihua said angrily: "Nonsense! That's not what Zhang Qiu Taiyi said. This Qilin of my palace belongs to Zuo, the great Sui Dynasty. How can it be so rough and difficult?"
Yuan Tiangang sighed and said: "The wheel of fortune is always changing. It has been a long time since Zhang Qiu gave His Highness a fortune-telling. Now the prince's wheel of fortune is indeed like this. It is precisely because he shoulders the country Zuo and has the heart to work hard to govern that it has been so difficult.
There is a hidden symbol in the hexagram that cannot be done but is forced to be done. It is like sailing against the current. If you do not advance, you will retreat. The prince is destined to suffer great hardships in this life, but it is not impossible to change. As long as you comply with the current situation and let nature take its course, you can overcome the disaster.
Ji, prosperity, Xiaxia hexagram, it is a hexagram that the extremes of things must be reversed. If you reverse it according to the hexagram, it will naturally be solved."
Most of the fortune tellers and sorcerers in the Sui Dynasty will prepare two sets of words for you when they tell fortunes, one is bad luck and the other is good luck. They dare not tell you the truth, so there are not many people who are really capable in this profession.
Most of them play with one mouth.
That is, speaking skills.
"Come on, let me do the math for you. You should probably get married on the 24th or 25th. If not, then on the 27th or 8th. What? You are already thirty? Let me do the math again. No wonder you are a cook.
Killing too many animals, what? You are actually thirty-five? Hiss~~~ No, your marriage line has been opened for a long time. You must have done something to close it. You have to go
Go to the east, that place can help you solve the problem (the east side is full of electronic factories, and there are many girls). After two years, you will bring back a factory girl. Sir, you are really a god. I have to give you a banner: Materials are like a god.
, to save the world and save people."
"Bastard! You're talking nonsense. Put away all your junk and get out of here!" Yang Lihua was furious.
Yuan Tiangang hurriedly packed his things.
It was such a close call. You just told me to get out and didn't kill me. Fortunately, I didn't tell you that the prince was still trying to conquer his father.
If this is said, I will have to destroy the nine tribes. (End of Chapter)
