Ever since we received the news that the emperor was going to visit Jiangdu in the south, we have been preparing ships.
Yang Guang's first tour of Jiangdu was 6,000 boats, and the second time was 5,000 boats. Don't even think about it this time. There can't be that many. He can make up 2,000 boats, which is already very good.
To transport supplies to Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangnan, too many ships were mobilized, but no one would dare to touch the main building ships.
These ships were the private property of the emperor just like the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, and Yang Ming had no courage to move them. If he could move them, these ships could be converted into warships and could withstand five Xiangyang naval forces.
Ziwei Palace, Huiyou Palace.
Yang Guang was dressed in regular clothes, and he did not feel any fatigue from the journey. He was still full of energy and was watching the eunuchs sorting the books on the bookshelves.
A group of high-level officials are sitting here.
"Nine million stones? Only this little grain was put into the warehouse last year?" Yang Guang asked with a frown without looking back.
Dugu Zuan stood up quickly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the only people who turned in the annual grain are Henan and Jingzhou. Among them, Henan's annual grain payment was less than 50% of the previous year's and Jingzhou's was less than 70%."
The treasury is under the control of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Dugu Zhuan is Luoyang Yin. The four major warehouses are under his nose, and he has the power to supervise them.
"What was it in previous years?" Yang Guangming asked knowingly.
Everyone knew that this was just to scold someone, so everyone was silent and did not dare to say anything.
Dugu Zuan swallowed: "The situation was the best the year before last. The annual grain payment in Henan was 8.13 million shi, and in Jingzhou was 7.2 million shi. The two places totaled 15.33 million shi."
"Haha..." Yang Guang turned around: "How do you deal with such a huge deficit? There was a military disaster in Henan, so that can be forgiven, but Jingzhou didn't have one last year, right? Why is there so much less?"
Jingzhou is not under my control? I look after the warehouse, not the grain collector? Dugu Zuan twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Wei Jin, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs: "This... I have to ask the minister Wei.
"
Wei Jin hurriedly said: "Three counties in Jingzhou were hit by floods the year before last, so the food harvest was poor. Please give your Majesty a clear warning."
The annual grain is harvested the previous year. There was a flood in Jingzhou the year before last, but it did not affect the harvest of the year before last. The grain in the year of the flood should have been harvested last year, and it had already been reduced a lot.
Therefore, Dugu Zhuan took the year before last as an example, and did not compare the previous year with this year, because the harvest last year was also very miserable.
Yang Guang looked at Dugu Zuan and snorted coldly: "I gave you the four warehouses to take care of. How did you manage them? King Qi couldn't get food from you despite my decree? Jiangdu sent troops, and you took last year's
The annual grain is allocated to Hebei and Shandong? What is the purpose?"
You're done, this is going to be dealt with harshly, Dugu Zuan's heart was pounding, I'm your cousin? Why are you doing surgery on me? It's none of my business even if you know it.
Yang Ming stood up and said, "It's my son..."
"Shut up!" Yang Guang scolded, interrupting Yang Ming's words, because he knew that his son wanted to take responsibility for him. If you take the responsibility, how can I deal with Dugu Zuan?
Yang Guangdao: "I said that there is a food problem in Luoyang. Even if you, the Yin of the Eastern Capital, are done with it, give the seal to Huangfu Wuyi and stop doing it."
Dugu Zuan lowered his head with a look of displeasure.
That is to say, a relative like him dared to express such emotions on his face because he knew that the emperor would definitely not kill him.
Yang Guang also had his own plan. Huangfu Wuyi was originally the one he arranged to stay in Dongdu. After Yang Ming came, he was directly ignored and became an idler. He was going to Jiangdu soon. He had to leave a reliable person here to help him.
He stared at the prince.
"The Yushitai Jiangdu Inspection Envoy reported," Lu Zhiming, the official secretary of the Censor, said: "The King of Qi once sent a memorial to the Xiangyang Navy for disobeying the dispatch, but the memorial was not seen by the subordinates. The prince knows what happened.
Something?"
Lu Zhiming is a straight minister, has no party affiliation, and is loyal to the emperor. He only asks about right and wrong, and does not look at people's faces.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "What do you mean, I withheld the memorial?"
Lu Zhiming said: "I don't mean that. I just think that the prince should send someone to investigate."
"I sit in Luoyang and control the world's troops. Do you think I have time to investigate this?" Yang Ming said with a gloomy face:
"The Xiangyang navy, where did you disobey the dispatch? The navy came to protect the children and captured Danyang and Liyang. The navy went and Jiangxia fell. The navy rushed to rescue them. They ran here and there, but they were not rewarded for their efforts. Instead, they were slandered in the back.
, If King Qi really has this memorial, I would like to take a good look at it and refute it in front of you."
Yu Shiji smiled and said: "Prince, please calm down. The matter has not been investigated clearly. You don't need to be angry. Maybe there is something wrong somewhere in the inn."
"There will be no problem with the post station," Duan Wenzhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, quickly clarified the relationship: "The memorial is extraordinary. There are documents along the way, and people will be sent to escort the postmen. However, none of the inns along the Tongji Canal has documents.
It means that I have never seen this memorial, and I believe that there is definitely no problem with the memorial of King Qi on the post road."
Yang Xian was not a fool. He sent memorials to inns, but since he was the son of the emperor, he could still write letters and send his confidants back to the capital.
You can stop memorials, but you can't stop family letters.
Yang Guang received Yang Xian's letter, but he could not say it clearly. He could only say that someone from the Yushitai reported it.
So he knew that Yang Ming was lying and dared to stop the memorial. Only his son had the ability and courage to stop the memorial.
"I have left the capital, and you can return your banner," Yang Guang slowly sat down and said, "The prince has worked hard these days. After my southern tour, you will continue to stay in Luoyang and be responsible for the pacification of Hebei and Shandong.
thing."
It was tantamount to depriving Yang Ming of the right to control the world's troops.
Yang Ming nodded: "My son, I obey."
No matter how suspicious he was, Yang Guang at least felt that Lao San was still obedient. His orders were given by Lao San. He never fell to the ground and his attitude was always good.
So he said happily: "The situation in Shandong is almost the same. When the war is calmed down, let Shi Huaiyi return to the capital to mourn."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Father is kind and virtuous," Yang Ming nodded.
Shi Wansui's hometown is in Chang'an County, Jingzhao County, and he is buried there.
Duan Wenzhen said at this time: "May I ask the prince, what is the current situation in Jingzhou?"
At present, Yang Ming must be the one who gets the news the fastest, after all, they are close.
Yang Ming explained: "Xiao Mian is attacking the south bank of Jingzhou. It is difficult for our army to cross the river and the situation is unclear. Yang Xuanzhai does not have enough troops and dare not act rashly. Although I sent people to notify Qiu He to go north, I later received news that King Qi ordered
Feng Ang sends troops, and if Shimin is in Guizhou, it will be difficult."
Duan Wenzhen nodded, looked at Yang Guang and said: "If Jiangnan cannot open up the situation, the chaos in Jingzhou may last for a long time. The Feng family has evil intentions, so we must guard against it."
Duan Da, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, said: "It seems that we should give Feng Ang some benefits, such as canonizing him as the ambassador to the Jiangbiao counties to depose and arrest, to calm his mind."
"It's no longer necessary," Zhang Jin, the general of Zuo Beishen Prefecture, said: "As soon as our elite troops from Guanzhong arrive, the situation in Jiangnan will become clear in an instant. I Guan Feng Ang has no guts to act recklessly."
"What if there is?" Yang Da frowned and said, "I am a northerner who is not good at water warfare. There are many waterways in the south, so we should not take it lightly."
Yang Guang turned to Yang Ming from the corner of his eyes and said, "What do you think, Prince?"
Yang Ming sighed inwardly: "I can't understand."
In fact, he is the one who understands best. He knows that Feng An will definitely rebel, and dad will definitely do Lingnan. There is no solution.
If he was sitting in Jiangdu and presiding over the suppression of the rebellion in Jiangnan, he would immediately choose to appease Feng Ang and quickly wipe out Jiangnan to put an end to the Feng family's idea. Now, Xiao Mian is showing signs of dominating the Yuanxiang counties, and Du
Fuwei showed signs of allying with various rebels in the south. In the entire Jiuchen area, only the Jiangdu area and Li Shimin's Lingnan West Road were still under the control of the imperial court.
In this case, the Feng family must go out and give it a try.
Southerners have a deep-rooted belief that as long as they hold on to the Yangtze River, they can completely block it from the north and rule by dividing the river.
Although the imperial court has been vigorously supporting the southern gentry in recent years and bringing them back, this cannot be changed overnight.
After three hundred years of division and only twenty-five years of reunification, returning home is not that easy.
A small meeting ended just like that.
Yang Ming returned to the East Palace and reunited with his family.
He knew in his heart that his father took his family members to Jiangdu as hostages to guard against him.
The reason why Yang Guang left Beijing in such a hurry was to prevent him from becoming a powerful leader outside the country and becoming a leader. You can look down on Yang Guang's character, but you can't look down on Yang Guang's brains.
This is the same as when Yang Guang went south to destroy Chen and was dismissed from the post of Shangshu Ling by Yang Jian before he returned to the capital.
"Ayun has lost a lot of weight," Yang Ming said, feeling very relaxed when he was with his relatives. The warmth of family can eliminate people's fatigue and worries.
Pei Shuying smiled and said, "You have also lost a lot of weight."
Yang Yinjiang told some things about Yang Yue's condition. After listening, Yang Ming sighed:
"As I get older, this kind of thing depends on God's will. I especially remember the time I spent with Yang Yue during the spring outing. My impression of him was not very good at first. He was too calculating. But later, he changed a lot and became more and more...
It makes people like him more and more. In a sense, my relationship with Yang Yue actually exceeds that of Yue Gong and Dugu Gong. I hope the old guy and I will see each other again."
Yang Yinjiang said sadly: "We'll see if we can survive this winter. I asked Yuan Tiangang to go to my house. He said that my uncle's deadline is at the end of winter."
Yang Ming said calmly: "Spring brings white snow, winter passes and spring comes. I hope everything will be fine next year."
Pei Shuying nodded and said, "I hope Mr. Yang will recover soon and be happy with his husband."
That night, Yang Ming slept in the same bed as Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying for the first time.
This is also the first time that they have served their husband together for so many years since they were married to Yang Ming.
The two people have a very good relationship, and their honest meeting starts with being naked...
