Yang Yuanqing's official house in Jiuyuan County is located in the eastern part of the county town, covering an area of about ten acres. This area is beautiful with green trees. The county government, county government, and general administration are all in this area. Most of the officials' residences are nearby.
The surrounding environment is quiet and the public security is excellent.
Jiang Peihua's carriage was parked in front of the mansion. Pei Minqiu, Zhang Chuchen, Asduo, etc., who had been waiting in front of the gate, rushed up. Jiang Peihua got off the carriage and everyone hugged her one by one, although Jiang Peihua was very reserved.
But when she met them again in a foreign land, she couldn't hide her inner movements.
Yang Yuanqing rode a horse and looked at them not far away, feeling an indescribable warmth in his heart. He felt that the advice of the world was correct. He should take them to his home, and not let them live alone in the south.
Gao Yang also sighed slightly, looked at Yang Yuanqing, as if he was talking to himself: "It's rare! He is willing to give up his identity as a princess and be willing to be a civilian."
At this time, Pei Minqiu stepped forward to salute Gao Yang and asked Yang Yuanqing again, "Husband, don't you bring the elders back home to rest?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled, "Gei Master wants to go to the General Military Office first, we will come back later."
"Okay! I'll take the princess back home to rest first."
Yang Yuanqing nodded, and he looked at Jiang Peihua deeply again. Her elegant temperament reminded him of Yang Lihua again. Yang Yuanqing sighed softly and urged his horse to go to the general manager's office.
In the meeting hall of the General Administration Office, senior officials came to greet Gao Yang. Although Gao Yang retired from the officialdom for many years, his lofty prestige in the Great Sui Dynasty still made him highly respected.
After everyone stepped down, Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Gaoge is here just right. I'm considering who will be the chief examiner of this autumn examination. Ge Laoge is here just right to be the name."
Gao Yang stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It's no problem to hang a name, but aren't you worried that the emperor knew I'm with you?"
"So what can I do if I know? I no longer care about his attitude. The key is whether the cabinet master himself is willing?"
"I don't want anything I don't want to go to Wagang to get rid of grass."
Gao Yang joked and said, "Wangang. I just met a scholar in a restaurant. He told me that Li Mi actually went to Wagang and fell into weeds. This was beyond my expectations. I thought he was not with him.
Xuangan will come to you and become a bandit!"
Gao Yang was obviously a little resentful of Li Mi's joining the bandits. A descendant of a dignified Eight-Pillar Kingdom actually became a bandit. It was probably his despair, so Gao Yang sighed.
Yang Yuanqing disagreed. Li Mi joined Wagang for his ambition. He couldn't afford to help Yang Xuan, so he wanted to compete for the world. How could he come to surrender to him?
"The master thought what the situation in the world is now?" Yang Yuanqing didn't want to talk too much about Li Mi. After all, Li Mi is too far away from him, so he wanted to hear Gao Yang's view on the situation.
Gao Yong did not answer his question and stared at Yang Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, tell me the truth, are you planning to rebel?"
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I have never considered rebellion, but if the Sui Dynasty perishes, the heroes will compete for the world. I am willing to be one of them."
"But what if the Sui Dynasty did not perish?" Gao Feng continued to ask.
"Then I will be a separatist vassal state, and I will be independent without rebelling against the Sui Dynasty." Yang Yuanqing's answer was also unambiguous.
Gao Bing sighed slightly, "In fact, there is still hope in the Great Sui Dynasty. As long as Yang Guang abdicates, let the Shao Emperor ascend the throne, implements benevolent government, and lights taxes and taxes. Rest with the people, then the boiling oil in the Great Sui Dynasty will slowly calm down.
If you spend ten years of hard work on the governance, you can gradually restore your national strength during the Kaihuang period."
Yang Yuanqing discovered that Gao Bing might have left the officialdom for too long, or that he was too prejudiced to Yang Guang. He looked at the problem no longer as experienced as he imagined, but was as simple as a child. He actually hoped that the Shao Emperor would be destroyed by the Sui Dynasty and the sixth year of Kaihuang.
It was destined that if it were not for Yang Guang's authority and emperor reputation, the Great Sui Dynasty would have perished long ago, and the Young Emperor would have ascended the throne and would have died faster.
At this moment, Yang Yuanqing felt bored. Gao Yang disappointed him a little, and it was too idealistic. This made Yang Yuanqing think of a saying, Lian Po is old, can he still have a meal? Gao Yang is really old.
With regret in his heart, the smile on Yang Yuanqing's face also became a little bitter. He tried his best to remain polite and prevent Gao Yang from seeing his disappointment.
Gao Yang's old eyes were blurred, and he did not see the disappointment in Yang Yuanqing's eyes. He still said with great enthusiasm: "Yuanqing, it is the right way to hold the imperial examination, but you should still respect Confucianism. The last emperor refused to respect Confucianism, and gradually lost the hearts of scholars.
, If you respect Confucianism and promote it widely, you will win the hearts of scholars."
Yang Yuanqing nodded. This suggestion was very good. He could accept it. After pondering for a moment, Yang Yuanqing asked again: "Gei Master, I still want to ask for advice. I will hold the imperial examination. Will this be the nine-rank Zhongzheng system advocated by the Shandong gentry.
What conflicts mean that they lose the support of Shandong gentry?"
Gao Yang smiled and said, "This is the fundamental purpose of the imperial examination system. In fact, I suggest to the late emperor that the imperial examination system is to break the control of the family over local governments, take the appointment and removal power of local officials to the court, and promote the imperial examination.
The system allows scholars all over the world to become students of the emperor, and the Ministry of Personnel will directly take the exam and dismiss the family members will lose their qualifications for recommendation.
But have you ever thought about it? The advantages of education are still concentrated in the family. A large number of talents still come from the family. Unless the poor are particularly outstanding, they have a front-line opportunity. Such people can only be rare. In fact, even if the imperial examination is implemented, they are still a family.
In the world, why do the gentry dislike the imperial examination system?”
Gao Bing's words made Yang Yuanqing think deeply, and he paused. Gao Bing said again: "The reason why the Shandong gentry disliked the Sui Dynasty was the root cause of the Guanlong nobles' rejection of the Shandong geniuses. The five surnames and seven Wangs in the world, the Boling Cui family, and the Qinghe Cui family.
, Fanyang Lu family, Longxi Li family, Zhaojun Li family, Xingyang Zheng family, Taiyuan Wang family, and how many of them served as senior officials in the Great Sui Dynasty? However, Wenxi Pei family, Bohai Gao family, Hongnong Yang family, and Jingzhao
The Wei family members were highly valued, and there were some southern gentry. Although Yang Guang had been attacking the Guanlong nobles, he attacked the Shandong gentry too fiercely when he pacified Yang Liang, so the Shandong gentry did not accept his affection."
Speaking of this, Gao Bing advised Yang Yuanqing earnestly: "Although you have received support from Shandong gentry, you cannot rely entirely on Shandong gentry. You must cultivate another power group while reusing Shandong gentry, so that they can get along with Shandong gentry.
Confront, so that you will not re-take the old path of using only Guanlong nobles in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.”
Gao Yang's persuasion made Yang Yuanqing wake up, and he was deeply ashamed of his contempt for Gao Yang just now. Although Gao Yang insisted on the revival of the Sui Dynasty and could not see through the general trend of the world, he had rich experience in governing the country.
, He can give himself clever advice.
They chatted for a few more times, and at this time, a personal soldier said at the door: "General Manager, Wei Zheng asked for a meeting and said that there was something important."
"Please come in!"
After a moment, Wei Zheng rushed into the meeting hall and gave a tribute to Yang Yuanqingshen, "See the General Manager!"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and introduced Gao Yan to him, "Master Wei, this is my famous prime minister Gao Sheung-Hao of the Great Sui Dynasty."
Wei Zheng was solemn and hurriedly saluted Gao Zheng, "Sister Wei Zheng met Gao Prime Minister!"
Gao Yang was naturally very happy to be widely respected. He stroked his beard and smiled, "You're welcome, you are talking about serious matters, I'll take a break next to you."
Yang Yuanqing asked Wei Zheng again, "But the matter of minting money has come to light?"
Wei Zheng could not hide his inner movements, "That's exactly what it is."
He took out a small iron box from his arms, opened it, and mopped three coins from it and put them on the table, "Please look at it, manager!"
Has Wei Zheng built five coins just after half a month? Yang Yuanqing picked up three new coins in a suspicion and looked carefully for a moment. These three five coins were cast in a beautiful way, exactly the same as the copper coins circulated during the Kaihuang period.
Qianwen's "Wuzhu" has two characters, long and neat, and the strokes are slightly thick, but it still has a beautiful and beautiful style.
He immediately ordered his personal soldiers, "Invite the Chief Secretary and Sima and others!"
Gao Feng next to him was a little strange, "Yuan Qing, are you going to mint money?"
Yang Yuanqing explained with a smile: "Now the market is chaotic, si and bad money are rampant, and even cloth money appears, which has a great impact on Fengzhou. The soldiers also complained. We happened to find the copper mine, so
I decided to mint money by myself and drive out all the si and rotten money from Fengzhou."
Gao Feng nodded and said no more. At this time, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others walked in one after another. Yang Yuanqing smiled at everyone and said, "Look at the new coins we Wei Qiancheng have cast."
Everyone was looking forward to the new money for a long time. When they heard that the new money was cast, they all surrounded them. After looking carefully for a while, Li Jing smiled and said, "Who has the five money in Kaihuang? Let's compare it."
A word reminded everyone, and everyone was moaning themselves, and they had no money. Gao Feng next to him smiled and said, "I have one!"
He slowly took off a copper coin worn with gold thread from his pocket, put it on the table and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, my money is the first five-carved coins of the Great Sui Dynasty. The last emperor gave it to me and kept it.
commemorate."
Everyone laughed. Yang Yuanqing put the two first Wuzhu coins together. Except for the difference between the new and old, the two coins were almost exactly the same, and they could not tell the difference, which showed Wei Zheng's meticulous work.
Yang Yuanqing nodded and asked Wei Zheng again, "How many can you cast in a year?"
Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "According to our current manpower, we can cast more than 300,000 cranes a year, and an average of about 30,000 cranes per year."
Yang Yuanqing frowned, "It's still not enough. I'll add ten times more manpower and I'll have to make at least three million yuan a year."
Yang Yuanqing turned around and said to Zhang Ting: "You are fully responsible for the matter of minting money, and I have other benefits to the envoy of Wei."
"As for the order!"
Gao Feng next to him was a little stunned. Is Yang Yuanqing going to mint so much money just for Fengzhou?
