Chapter 1336 (Happy New Year!)

(Another year has passed, and it has been four years without me noticing. Thank you for your continued support, brothers.

I wish you and your family good health, good fortune, and all your wishes come true.

It is still the traditional New Year free chapter, giving red envelopes to good brothers, and the brothers are all eating and drinking well and in a good mood.

The temperature has dropped across the board recently, brothers should pay attention to keeping warm and take care of their bodies.

I kowtow to the brothers!)

After sweeping away the bandits, Wang Yan returned to a state of having nothing to do.

After wiping out the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, there was no major event in the Sui Dynasty. It was nothing more than suppressing Nanyue in the south, deterring the Turks in the north, fighting with Tuyuhun in the west, and Goguryeo in the northeast.

There was no major action in the external threats of the Sui Dynasty. Although there were military conflicts every day and people died every day, this was the norm, and this state could also be classified as peace.

So the country was very peaceful. Under the peaceful performance, Yang Jian worked hard to govern and continued to work for the northern family. Everyone confronted each other and pushed the Sui Dynasty forward.

So that in that year, 592, an official said: "The treasury is full, there is no place to put it, and it is piled up in the corridors." The emperor said: "I have levied little on the people, and I have also granted a lot of money, how can this be possible?" The answer was: "The income is always more than the expenditure. It is estimated that the annual grant is millions of pieces, and there has been no reduction." So the Zuozangyuan was opened to receive it. The edict said: "It is better to store it in people than in the treasury. The land rent in Hebei and Hedong will be reduced by one third this year, the military will be reduced by half, and all transfers will be exempted."

This well reflects how rich this dynasty, which was established only ten years ago, was. The treasury was full, there was no place to put things, and they were piled up in the outer rooms.

In two words, rich!

Yangzhou was even more harmonious. Many wealthy families in Jiangnan sent many people to the Jinwang Mansion to serve as Yang Guang's staff. Everyone was united, brainstormed, and was eager to do bad things to Yang Yong.

Bored Wang Yan started to tinker with various things again, making strong liquor, snowflake salt, more diverse skin care, cosmetics, perfume, and new formulas for dyeing cloth, which were more colorful. Tea was also hyped up and promoted, and some people began to accept it.

This time Wang Yan took the initiative to pay protection fees to Yang Guang, and Yang Guang accepted the share because he felt that Wang Yan was almost richer than him...

The money of the old Wang family was earned like water, and spent like water.

Shipbuilding, breeding, buying mines, smelting iron, buying land, building farms, all of these require huge investments. Wang Yan didn't care about giving money to Yang Guang, he cared about those outputs under his control. Money is virtual, but productivity and means of production are real.

On this day, Wang Yan came to the port by the river. More than a year had passed, the ship was built, and more than half of the people in the fleet that had been out to sea for more than half a year had returned.

"My Lord, this time we went to sea, there were more than ten ships of different sizes, more than a thousand people, and we ran aground on the way and suffered losses... We went to Nanyue... We brought back two ships of spices, two ships of seafood, and three ships of rice. After removing the waste and mildew on the way, there were still nearly 20,000 stones."

Wang Yan patted the leader's shoulder with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. Hurry up and unload the goods and return to the warehouse. Brothers, eat, drink and rest well, and share the money with everyone."

Twenty thousand stones of grain are enough for three to five thousand people to eat for a year or two. The income from this grain can barely pay the basic salary of more than a thousand people. The remaining pensions and bonuses, as well as valuable spices and seafood.

In summary, this trip was a big profit.

So Wang Yan looked at the seafood, got a lot of things such as night pearls, corals, tortoises, etc., filled a carriage, asked his subordinates to drive the carriage, and went home to get his "improved" curved plow, and went to the Jin Palace together to present the treasure to Yang Guang.

It was the plow developed during this period that was first contributed to Yang Guang. After a few years, he would make a plow improved during the Song and Ming dynasties and present it to Yang Guang...

Yang Guang looked at the curved plow in front of him suspiciously and asked uncertainly: "Zi Yan, is this plow really good for farming?"

How could he know how to farm? He knew about plows because he understood the people's sentiments and was well-informed.

"Your Highness, you can send someone to evaluate it, and then you will know." Wang Yan said, "This thing has great reputation and great help for Your Highness. I have already thought of a name for this plow."

"What name?"

"Prince Jin's Plow!"

Wang Yan said very firmly, "At that time, the people of the world were grateful for the name of Prince Jin Yang Guang, and did not know that there was a prince. Even the scholars under the prince's command would pinch their noses and say that Your Highness was benevolent. Your Majesty and the Queen would also favor Your Highness more, so that you would be one step closer to the throne. If the prince makes any more mistakes, Your Majesty and the Queen would be very disgusted and would inevitably want to depose him..."

Yang Guang looked at the curved plow and listened to Wang Yan's words. He seemed to have seen his great prestige that was famous all over the world and that the people were all grateful for, and he couldn't help laughing.

"If that's the case, this king will remember you for a great achievement." Yang Guang patted Wang Yan's shoulder respectfully, not forgetting to make big promises.

"Just a great achievement?" Wang Yan pointed at the carriage beside him and asked someone to lift the tarpaulin. "Your Highness, take another look?"

Yang Guang walked in and looked at the various seafood treasures: "It's just some rare treasures from the sea, not... The fleet you sent out to sea is back?"

"That's right."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, and then without waiting for Yang Guang to ask, he directly repeated the overseas situation told to him by the leader of the sea.

Hearing that Wang Yan loaded two ships of spices, two ships of seafood, and 20,000 stones of rice, Yang Guang narrowed his eyes: "Is there such a huge profit overseas?"

"This is just one trip, the ship is small and the soldiers are few. If you send more people and walk twice a year, you will be a huge amount of precious money and food."

Wang Yan said, "Think about it, this road is controlled by Your Highness. As long as it spreads out later, the big families will be moved and organize people to build ships and go to sea to test it out. Overseas is not within the territory of the Sui Dynasty, who dares to We went to sea without His Highness's consent, and we destroyed the fleet they sent out. Seeing that other families are making money, how can they not be anxious? Are they all going to do things for His Highness?”

Yang Guang thought for a while, his eyes widened: "The overseas market is vast, and I don't know how to punish thousands of miles?"

"At the destination, Your Highness. We said that if we make money in Nanyue, they will only go to Nanyue, and not explore the places next to them. The big families have developed a problem. They have no idea of ​​exploring, they are only willing to do it. Stable things. We keep them all over there and make them lose all their money."

"You are only over a thousand sailors, how can you do such a big thing? How many years will it be done?"

"I'm afraid it will take five years, our ships will be bigger, more soldiers and better water stations, so that we can achieve success."

"In recent years, I have been exempted from my king's members. I will build big ships and train navy."

"Your Highness, I have left you 60% of them."

"I don't want you to have that much. Four hundred percent is enough. If you invest that money, you can speed up the progress. I know that your stall is big and you can use more money. I still have money to spend, so it's not bad for the sea trade. It's the key, the faster the better."

Yang Guang is very familiar with him and understands the key.

"Your Highness, it will be very important to speed up the progress. It is inevitable that people will criticize the animals and raise private soldiers..."

"This year, you will prepare some seafood and spices. I will present them to my father. Then I will explain to my father privately that the father will definitely not let the prince know about this matter." Yang Guang said very confidently, "The current actions are small. Some, step up the action next year.”

Seeing Wang Yan nodding, Yang Guang laughed happily, "You really gave me a big surprise. This will make people test the new plow. If it is really as you said, please hurry up and let the craftsmen create ten thousand Deputy. A few sent to Daxing, and most of them sent to the people of Yangzhou."

"Your Highness really has people. In the future, he will definitely be the saint of eternal lord."

“Hahahaha~”

Yang Guang raised his head and laughed loudly, so happy.

Wang Yan is really reliable in doing things, and he is really useful at critical moments.

It is very useful when used, and it is safe and stable when it is not used, and it can also give unexpected surprises. This is a good person...

Three months later, Yang Guang, who had already seen Wang Yan, looked at him even more.

Because the curved plow sent back to Daxing has been inspected and confirmed that it is indeed more efficient and has obvious effects than the original plow. So Yang Jian informed the world and promoted the application of the Quyuan Plow.

After all, this plow was not called King Li of Jin, because in the court of Daxing Hall, the ministers and ministers discussed it and finally took out a name that satisfied Yang Jian, "Kaihuang Plow".

Yang Guang was not unhappy at all because he failed to become King Li of Jin. After all, as happy as Yang Jian was, he would be as pleasant as Yang Guang. For Yang Guang, it was a huge success.

Even Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo wrote letters to him personally, caring about whether he lived in Yangzhou, praising him for being a good person and doing things steadily, and giving him a great encouragement.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

According to Yang Guang's eyeliner report in the court and palace, Yang Yong was scolded a lot, every three days a little, every five days a big scolding. Neither Yang Jian nor Dugu Jialuo gave him a good look.

Because Yang Yong favored his concubine at home and killed the crown princess, Yang Guang sent someone to stab Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo. Compared with Yang Guang's diligent governance, suppressing the wealthy families in Jiangnan, and creating a famous Quyuan Plough that has been passed down for generations, adding a rich mark to Yang Jian's Kaihuang rule, and the emperor's reputation became much stronger. Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, aren’t the more they look at Yang Yong, the more angry they become.

The more angry she got there, the happier Yang Guang was when he received the news, and the more he liked Wang Yan.

To be honest, Yang Jian now looks even more pleasing to Wang Yan. After all, Yang Guang reported it, saying that it was Wang Yan's research. The baby son-in-law who had never been married was already very satisfied with him and gave him such a great achievement of keeping his name in history.

In ancient China, there was a farming society, and everything about farming was a big deal. The emergence of the Quyuan Plow was much more auspicious than all kinds of auspiciousness and was part of his Yang Jian's literary governance.

However, Wang Yan is recognized as loyal to Yang Guang, so all the credits are attributed to Yang Guang. However, Yang Jian just kept in mind the well digging when he drank water, and he still cared about Wang Yan.

In fact, he can't forget it even if he wants to. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the cost of the palace, Ji Xiangju must have something for the concubines. This is for the concubines. Everyone is fragrant and beautiful, and Yang Jian is happy.

The second is the high-quality fine grain produced by Wang Yan, such as snow salt and snow candy, which are also essential things in daily life. At the beginning, it was all offered by Yang Guang, and the purchase was made in the harem.

Although all the officials and ministers in the court looked down on Wang Yan, whenever they mentioned Wang Yan, they had four impressions: one was loyalty, two was able to fight, three was able to make money, and four was too annoying.

People hate mud legs like Wang Yan, and they actually stood in the same position as them. But they also envy Wang Yan's ability to make money. At the same time, Wang Yan's loyalty to the royal family and Wang Yan's loyalty to his despicable background forced them to recognize him. Although Wang Yan hates it very much, he has a strong character, but he is not the same as them.

Wang Yancai didn't care about that much, he just followed the orders and did business and expanded his power without the orders. Whoever dared to influence his business would bring Yang Guang out. Yang Guang was not good enough, so he took out a knife.

Just develop steadily and step by step, and a force that will gradually form will form.

Finally, the yellow robe was put on.

At that time, he can also wear a yellow robe like Old Zhao, and twitch his mouth, "Hey, look at you...don't..."

I wrote a memoir in my later years, and the first sentence of the opening line was, "Actually, I never thought of becoming an emperor"...

In the King’s Mansion of Jin, Yang Guang specially invited Wang Yan to dinner and shared his good mood.

"Ziyan, you have really helped me this time. You don't know, Prince..."

Wang Yan also laughed with her and said, "It's all what a certain family should do. Your Highness will ascend to the great treasure as soon as possible. A certain family will be able to ascend to heaven. Yang Su's old thing can be the marching supervisor, and a certain family will also want to be the marching manager. The Turks in the north were defeated, the Tuyuhun in the west, the Goguryeo in the east, and the Lingnan and Nanyue in the south, building a large territory for His Majesty."

He arched his hand to Yang Guang and called out to His Majesty directly.

"Okay! Hahaha..." Yang Guang laughed happily, as if he was already the eternal emperor who had achieved literary and military virtues. "What is the meaning of being a general manager? Then I will let you be the marshal of the world and sweep the world."

When Yang Guang heard that he was not really crazy, at least he claimed to be "I" and did not say "I" with Wang Yan.

Wang Yan still laughed with him and didn't take it seriously. By then, Yang Guang had no intention of killing him, so he would burn the incense and return the Grand Marshal of the Army.

Yang Guang is also petty and is not much better than Yang Su.

After joking for a while, Yang Guang asked, "How is Haimao doing?"

"In the past few months, several large ships have been built, and the sailors have recruited more than a thousand people, and have collected two thousand. Last month, the cargo was prepared, and a large fleet of sixteen ships was formed, and a thousand were sent. Five hundred people went out. With the experience of the last time, this time should be much smoother, and the time required to go back and forth should be improved.

In addition, in order to avoid food waste, I sent someone to bring winemaking tools this time to make strong wine with rice there, which can be stored for a longer time, and the profit will be higher when transporting it back. ”

Yang Guang frowned and said, "You must pay attention to keeping it confidential. If you can get the barbarians of foreign countries, then we will suffer a great loss."

"Your Highness, the method of brewing strong wine is not difficult. Even if you can get a foreign country, they will still have to sell it to us. But it will inevitably damage the majesty of our Great Sui Dynasty. If this really happens, a certain family will I personally led the team to sweep them, and from now on, I will honestly farm and brew wine for our people of the Sui Dynasty."

"Great courage."

"It is the courage your highness gave to a certain family. If you don't have the trust of your highness, how can you have the wealth of a certain family today? Your Highness says you will fight, and your family will fight. Your Highness says you won't fight, so let them live."

"Must fight!" Yang Guang said affirmatively, "Three matures a year, the land is fertile. It should be the land of my Great Sui Dynasty, but it is just for them to live temporarily. How dare I deceive my benevolence in the Heavenly Dynasty? I need to kill people to establish my authority. It is the control in my Great Sui."

Wang Yan nodded repeatedly and said yes, Wang Yan was very satisfied with Yang Guang's ambition.

That's how you want to be a good emperor. Good things must be mine. The fertile and rich land, and those with virtue live in it. Just so, my country in the heavens is full of martial ethics, so it should be mine.

The barbarians in foreign countries do not know what kind of governance they can’t even farm...

I thank you for your strong support from rewards, votes for monthly votes, recommendation votes and silent reading of your good brothers!
