Every day, officials from the Jiedushi Mansion would go to Liao's house several times to report some things, listen to Liao Jin's instructions, and then come back to tell Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan himself went to Liao's house from time to time to discuss with Liao Jin, and the atmosphere was good.
Even if Liao Jin doesn't show up, he can still control Northern Xinjiang.
This is the current power structure in northern Xinjiang. Some people joke that Liao Jin listens to politics behind the curtain, which is similar to the time when the two saints came to court.
Just listen to the joke.
Although Liao Jin can control Northern Xinjiang, he does not show up after all, and most affairs are handled by Yang Xuan and Liu Qing.
Officials in Chang'an are already impeaching Liao Jin and Yang Xuan, saying that they were in cahoots with each other.
Against this background, the Huang family was raided, and the powerful people in Northern Xinjiang were shocked.
Then comes anger.
Pei Jiu didn't show any force when he was here!
Huang Chunhui did not show any force when he was here!
When Liao Jin first came to power, he promised that everything would be business as usual!
As a deputy envoy, Yang Xuan, even if he killed many powerful people in Dengzhou, that was not his place. If he messed up and left, the powerful people in Dengzhou would not be able to find anyone even if they wanted to take revenge afterwards.
Therefore, the powerful men in Northern Xinjiang even looked sideways at the Jiedushi Mansion, waiting for Yang Gou to take action... Come on! Come and slap me! Don't dare to slap me, you are my grandson!
Then!
They ask for mercy and get mercy!
Yang Xuan slapped the powerful men in Northern Xinjiang, making their mouths twist and their eyes squint.
The Huang family is gone!
After the powerful men came to their senses, calls for Yang Gou to be killed resounded through the sky.
Kill them, they don't have the guts.
Drive away!
"Drive him away!"
"How dare he!?"
Amidst shouts and curses, Sun Xian and Lin Qian received the news.
"Look what that bitch did." Sun Xian sent the words intolerable to his in-law Lin Qian.
"Yang Gou plays hard, and most likely that bitch will play soft. She entertained the Northern Xinjiang official's wife at a banquet to show her goodwill." Lin Qian took the scroll, "Good words, full of murderous intent!"
…
As the wife of the current head of the family in Northern Xinjiang, and with the aura of Zhou's daughter, Zhou Ning's post was sent out, and there was a flood of responses.
Early in the morning, Zheng Wuniang brought A Liang over. Yang Xuan, who had not yet gotten up, stretched out his hand and said, "A Liang!"
"Aye!"
The two men were lying together, and Yang Xuan said: "Sleep."
Zhou Ning sat in front of the dressing table and saw through the bronze mirror that the two men were really sleeping, and couldn't help but smile.
After getting up, Huahong and the others came forward to change their clothes.
"The official ladies will come later. Madam, why don't you change into something elegant and luxurious?" Yan Xiao suggested.
"No need." Zhou Ning chose simplicity.
"Get up." She turned around.
"Leave us alone." Yang Xuan waved his hand, "It's rare to take a break today, so sleep until you wake up naturally."
"If you didn't do this, I would take the child to sleep in." Zhou Ning was dissatisfied.
"You don't do this, grandma, you just stare at the child all day long...How old is the child? Not to mention sleeping in, even if you want to bully the boy and dominate the girl, I am happy."
But Ah Liang doesn’t have this ability!
"hehe!"
Zhou Ning smiled and went out immediately.
"Quiet, sleep."
Yang Xuan really fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it took before someone came to report it.
"Those official ladies are here."
"Um!"
"My wife said that there is no wheat harvest yet and many people are in dire straits. My family has spent 300,000 yuan to buy grain to help the people. The officials and their wives are enthusiastically donating money!"
"That woman, let others lose their money, ugh!"
Yang Xuan got up and handed his son to the wet nurse for breakfast. He was also going to have breakfast. He took two steps and turned around, "By the way, it's almost time for A-Liang to be weaned."
The two wet nurses looked pale and healthy, "But we didn't do a good job?"
Yang Xuan was surprised, "You have done well, why are you so worried?"
A wet nurse said: "The eldest man is not yet two years old... he shouldn't be weaned!"
"Who said this?" Yang Xuan frowned, "The reason for the lack of breastfeeding in the countryside is because the family is poor and has nothing good to feed the child, so they let him drink milk all the time."
"The children of noble people are fed until they are five or six years old!" said another wet nurse.
Yang Xuandan said calmly: "My family doesn't have to be like this!"
He saw that the two wet nurses were worried and said, "After A Liang is weaned, I will naturally arrange a job for you."
Only then did the two wet nurses hide their thanks and express their thanks.
Zheng Wuniang and Yang Xuan walked out together and whispered: "Mr. Lang, the longer the wet nurse breastfeeds, the greater the credit will be."
"The important thing is that the relationship with the child will become closer and closer, right?"
"Young Master actually knows this?" Zheng Wuniang was startled, and then she suddenly realized, "I have forgotten that Mr. Lang is a scholar of heaven and man, and knows everything."
Yang Xuan made a joke, "Someday I said there are two suns in the sky. Do you think it is right or wrong?"
This was just a joke, but Zheng Wuniang thought about it seriously, "There must be two suns in the sky that day!"
Until he reached the front yard, Yang Xuan was still smiling bitterly.
"Mr. Lang, this is..." Han Ji wore new clothes today, and hung two sachets on his waist, looking like a gentle animal.
"The words of superiors are the law of heaven in the eyes of many people." Yang Xuan said with emotion, "Therefore, superiors should be cautious in their words and deeds."
"If Mr. Lang can think of this, I think he is the master of Ming Dynasty." Old Han looked happy.
Yang Xuan's head was covered with black lines.
Han Ji said: "By the way, the atmosphere at Madam's place is good. I passed by earlier and heard those women shouting and they were all actively donating money."
"This is face."
"That's right, but face is not as important as ability."
"What you said makes sense."
“If you rely on the mountains, you can eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you can eat the sea!”
"Old Han."
"exist!"
"This idea of yours is very dangerous. If you rely on the mountains, you can eat the mountains, and if you rely on the sea, you can eat the sea. Anyone can say this, but officials cannot. Otherwise, it will be a disaster."
"I can't help it!" Han Ji said: "In the past dynasties, corruption has been like a gangrene attached to the bones, which cannot be eradicated. At the beginning, Chen Guo often spurred and warned officials, but corruption still continued."
"Corruption is related to human nature. As long as people still have desires, it is impossible to get rid of the idea of corruption." Yang Xuan does not think that punishment is a good way. "Those methods will not last long."
"Yes." Han Ji felt that his lord's vision overwhelmed the one in Chang'an City. "The emperor doesn't care about corruption at all."
"It's not that he doesn't care, but he knows that he can't control it." Yang Xuan said sarcastically: "Since he can't control it, then let it go. As for the consequences of corruption, he won't live that long."
"He doesn't care about the lives of his children and grandchildren."
"After I die, I won't care about the flood."
This is the true thought of the false emperor.
As for his children and grandchildren, he is an enemy. If he could not control his crotch and needed an heir, he would even be willing to become a complete loner, a little bee and not have children.
"Incisive!" Han Ji felt that his lord could often come out with some thought-provoking and memorable words. He changed the topic, "The first batch of scouts are back. The Nangui City is heavily guarded.
The inspection was extremely strict.
In addition, there was an endless stream of convoys transporting a lot of food, which was said to be enough for five years of defense. The guard general was quite arrogant because of this and said that he was waiting for Lang Jun to send troops to attack."
Yang Xuan coughed dryly and said, "I will go! However, the inspection is so strict, I am too careful."
"My lord, didn't you kidnap the widow and bring her here?"
Han Ji smiled so hard that Yang Xuan felt vulgar, "That's because she came here of her own accord."
Han Ji sighed, "Yes! My husband is so handsome and talented, what woman wouldn't like him!"
"Old Han, your flattery is worse than your second dick."
"Really? I will reflect on it when I get back."
Yang Xuan pointed to the sachet on his waist, "Who made it? The needlework is quite good."
Han Ji said proudly: "Little girl."
Han Ji's daughter was divorced and returned home, and many people knew about this.
"Why don't you find a man to remarry?" Yang Xuan said: "A woman is no better than a man, and she has no children by her side. What will she do in the future?"
Later, Han Ji came home carrying a roasted leg of lamb.
"Ying'er! Ying'er!"
"Aye!"
Han Ying was helping her mother. She came out with her sleeves rolled up. When she saw the roasted leg of lamb, she smiled, took it and said, "Brother! Brother!"
Han Xian, who was studying in the study, said firmly: "Sister, I'm studying, don't harass me!"
Han Ying smiled and said: "It's roasted leg of lamb."
"Hey! I'm just tired from reading. Let's take a rest."
Han Xian came out and ran back when he saw Han Ji.
"That's it!"
Han Ji said with a straight face, "You get distracted when someone shouts. What book are you reading? That's it for this time. If you do it again next time, it's a family law."
"yes."
The two siblings were eating roasted leg of lamb together. Mrs. Jiang came out and complained about Han Ji's reckless spending as usual, and then the couple looked at the scene with smiles.
Ms. Jiang suddenly sighed, "What will Ying'er do in the future? Living with her brothers, she is afraid of being offended in the future.
After all, her sister-in-law has no blood relationship with her.
A man's ears are soft and his wife nags him every day. As time goes by, he will inevitably change his mind.
Hey! Ying'er is stubborn. If that happens, she will definitely move out.
Thinking about Ying'er being alone in the future, I can't sleep or eat well."
"There will always be a way." Han Ji smiled. He originally thought that his daughter's remarriage would not be a problem, but Northern Xinjiang was different from Guanzhong in that there were fewer talents and more rough men.
Most talented people have wives. Even if they don’t have a wife, if you ask someone to marry a divorced woman, who would want it?
"What method?"
"You and I, try our best to live as many years as possible." Han Ji quietly held his wife's hand.
"Okay!" Mrs. Jiang took her husband's hand and held them tightly together.
…
The banquet is over and the effect is good.
"Our family contributes 300,000 yuan, and those miscellaneous people have more than 100,000 yuan, which is enough to buy food."
Zhou Ning was very happy.
On the second day, Zhou Ning sent people to buy food.
Not long after, the person came back.
"Madam, there is a shortage of food in the market and the price has increased."
Zhou Ning was startled, then said calmly: "This is coming."
Aunt Guan said: "Lang Jun confiscated the Huang family, and those powerful men have been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge. They have the largest amount of grain in their hands. Selling grain every year is a big profit.
Once they close the granary, northern Xinjiang will starve!
Madam, this matter should not be underestimated! However, the Zhou family can find a way."
Zhou Ning shook his head, with a hint of awe on his fair face, "I am the wife of the Yang family, and my actions must be based on the Yang family. If I let my mother's family get involved in the Yang family's affairs at every turn, it is like a bird occupying a dove's nest!"
Aunt Guan smiled bitterly, "Why is this so?"
"Suspicions between husband and wife often originate from the natural behavior of one of them." Zhou Ning squinted, "I don't buy it for now."
…
"The Yang family has spread the news and will not buy food for the time being."
Lin Qian came to meet her in-laws again.
"Those people all said that you planned it well this time and embarrassed Yang Gou in one fell swoop, which is very satisfying!"
Sun Xian held a book in his hand and said sarcastically: "A bunch of idiots."
"Mr. Lang, some of the gentlemen are here."
Several powerful family heads have arrived.
"Yang Gou is weak!"
"Zhou's daughter said she won't buy food for the time being. She is admitting defeat, hahahaha!"
"Brother Sun has a great plan, I admire him!"
"You're welcome." Sun Xian said sternly: "Actually, I want to see the people in Northern Xinjiang live and work in peace and contentment, and all industries prosper. But I can't stand Yang Gou and want to fight and kill. To be honest, these have nothing to do with me...
As you all know, the Sun family has always been farming and does not get involved in such things.
If the Sun family stays behind closed doors, even if Yang Gou becomes extremely domineering, he will not be able to find an excuse to deal with the Sun family."
"yes!"
This is generally recognized, so everyone inevitably compliments him heartily.
"What's next?" someone asked.
Sun Xian stroked his beard and said, "Zhou's daughter accepted the money from those officials' wives. She is not greedy. The Yang family is not bad for this. But if we go back, our faces will be slapped. Can the Yang Dog couple bear it?"
but……"
Sun Xian looked at everyone, "Yang Gou is unkind, but we must not be unjust. If we don't sell food, the market will be short of food, and food prices will be high. What will the people do? I thought that we should open a warehouse immediately to sell food and keep the food price down.
."
"What if Zhou's daughter takes advantage of the trend and buys it?"
"Purchasing grain with more than 400,000 yuan is a big news. As soon as she takes action, we will close the warehouse. Two or three times, the people will see it. When the time comes, she will continue to purchase without caring about the life and death of the people. Yang Gou's hypocritical side is exposed.
, isn’t that a good thing?”
"Wonderful!"
Everyone was elated.
Sun Xian glanced at everyone and said, "Let's have a banquet."
Afterwards, everyone had a drink. Before leaving, someone held Sun Xian's hand and sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with the Sun family, but Mr. Sun stood up for us. This friendship, this atmosphere, we...
", he looked at the crowd.
"I'll remember it later."
Sun Xian smiled and said, "My lips are dead and my teeth are cold. That's ridiculous."
After everyone left, Sun Xian returned to the study, and the maid brought him sobering soup. Sun Xian drank half the bowl and then sat in trance. Not long after, a young man came.
"Aye, our family's business has gotten worse this year, and the money we earn is less than 30% of what it was five years ago."
Sun Xian raised his eyes and looked at his illegitimate descendant Sun Ji, "The Sun family mainly seeks land, cultivates land and sells grain to make a living. Five years ago, I thought about how to open up money, so I decided to go into business and put you in charge. What I earned in that year
Money!”
Sun Ji also lamented, "Although there was trade in Taiping that year, there were still many opportunities after all. We made a lot of money. After Chenzhou also opened up trade with great fanfare, our business... ugh!"
"Yang Gou deserves to die!" Sun Xian gritted his teeth in an extremely ferocious manner.
Sun Ji was his illegitimate son. Only the housekeeper of the family knew about this, and every visit was at night.
Sun Ji also smiled ferociously and said: "This time, Yang Gou and his wife will definitely be reviled by the people!"
…
"Madam, there are many people outside saying that we have broken our promise."
Aunt Guan brought back disturbing news.
Zhou Ning was looking at the account books, and when he heard this, he helped Dai put on his glasses and said, "It's still early."
"As soon as we buy, those powerful people will tighten the grain, and the price of grain will rise in the market. If this happens several times, the people will complain. I don't know, but now those grain merchants say that I am a good person!"
Grain prices rose as soon as Zhou Ning took action, and grain merchants were overjoyed.
This is a mockery!
Auntie Guan was so angry that her stomach hurt.
"I could have purchased from Fengzhou. The journey is a bit far, and the loss is not small. However, I can afford to lose this money!" Zhou Ning put down the account book, and there was a bit of coldness on his fair face, "But it's a little bit...
Frustrated."
"Yes! It's like being forced by the powerful to purchase food from other places."
Zhou Ning smiled slightly.
"My husband is about to go on an expedition. When he returns south to the city, food and grass are piled up like mountains!"
