Chapter 1338 Return to Daxing

In the winter of the 12th year of Kaihuang (592), Yang Guang returned to Daxing to worship and give gifts, bringing a lot of spices and seafood back.

The purpose of course is to tell Yang Jian that the profits of sea trade are huge and the land overseas is profitable.

As Yang Guang expected, when he told Yang Jian about this, Yang Jian did not tell others, but instead acquiesced to Yang Guang's actions to form a ocean-going naval army and plunder money from outside the territory.

After Yang Guang returned to Jiangdu, he told Wang Yan that Yang Jian’s first thought was that as Wang Yan said, controlling the power of maritime trade, all the participating families had to kowtow honestly, otherwise the navy would be attacked. Death their fleet will make them lose all their money. Question means that overseas crises coexist, and the astronomical phenomena are difficult to measure.

All are quite disgusting.

In fact, after the first harvest of the sea trade, Yang Guang no longer asked Wang Yan for his share of money, so Wang Yan really devoted all his money to the sea trade. He built larger and stronger sea ships and recruited more naval troops. He even was bold and directly transferred some Yangzhou soldiers to participate in it, so that the brothers could all make a fortune.

With the support of huge financial and manpower, the fleet was built quickly, and the training of the navy also kept pace. The requirements for the navy are actually not high. They can swim and cannot drown, do not get seasick, can jump, and will not become soft-legged shrimps on land, maintaining considerable combat effectiveness, which is enough.

With the power of the Great Sui army and armor, it swept across the south, without any opponents.

So Wang Yan also committed the crime of beheading with acquiescence, which was to empty the Yangzhou arsenal and all the armed forces were given to the navy. But Yangzhou arsenal was not moved cleanly, so he moved slowly and the court slowly repaired. They are all reliable people to handle and there are no mistakes.

Of course, at the same time, Wang Yan's head was also placed on the brake knife. The evidence was sufficient, and he could kill him just by saying that he could...

But this is all secondary. After all, he is honest. Yang Jian and Yang Guang are too late to love him, so how could he kill his head?

Until the summer of the 13th year of Kaihuang, seven exchanges had been carried out, with more than 30 sea ships of all sizes and more than 3,000 naval troops. The money and food I earned are really piled up.

At the same time, a winery was established in Nanyue to make high-altitude wine using the rice there. At the same time, Wang Yan used his power for personal gain and allowed the purified alcohol to make strategic reserves. This is a strategic material that can be used in the future.

In short, under Wang Yan's planning, the maritime trade team he controlled developed very quickly. Shipbuilding technology is constantly accumulating, and the personnel are constantly becoming elite. It is only three or five years before long-distance sailing.

At the same time, Yang Jian and Yang Guang's eyes also fell overseas.

As the saying goes, the way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the shortcomings. As a powerful Central Plains dynasty, of course, we must look at the world and support our people with the resources of the world...

This is what Wang Yan hopes, hoping that Yang Guang will have the courage to swallow the world.

In June, Wang Yan packed up his things again, leaving some people to visit the Jiangning Marquis Mansion in Gu Jiangdu, and took Xiao Mei and the children back to Daxing City.

Because he is going to get married officially and marry a princess.

It was another journey of hard work and returned to Daxing. It was really inconvenient without a canal.

The canal was opened to accelerate the turnover of goods from north to south, the second was to ensure inland water transportation, and the third was to communicate with the north and south, and suppress the resistance forces in the south. Still very useful.

From the Sui Dynasty to all dynasties, it communicated with Beijing to the Yuan Dynasty, and became the Grand Canal that I saw later.

At present, Yang Jian has begun to be reinvented in power. The person in charge is Yuwen Kai, who is responsible for the construction of the eastern capital of Luoyang, the imperial capital mentioned in the previous article.

However, Yang Jian was not as fierce as Yang Guang's edicts to send millions of men and women, but tried his best to ease the labor service and come little by little. The means are not that fierce, the consumption of people's power is not that high, and the people's resistance is not so fierce.

What's more, Yang Guang also mobilized dozens or millions of troops to fight the Turks and conquer Goguryeo three times. The logistics manpower was mobilized. At the peak of the Sui Dynasty, the population was only more than 50 million, and the men and women were recruited. All are laborers, basically it completely launched the war potential of the Great Sui Dynasty.

If we can win, there is nothing to say. Yang Guang can definitely use the power of destroying the country to quickly clear the opposition in the country. It’s just a pity that I failed three times and I was just trying to do it all. When it comes to the Sanzheng period, I’m afraid there is a bit of a wolf coming.

So Yang Guang lost control of his empire and his dream of achieving a great emperor was shattered. He was afraid that his stupidity would be seen as the situation was hopeless and he was disheartened and just waited for death. He had already foreseen his death and had no idea of ​​struggling. Maybe I am really tired, I want to destroy it as soon as possible...

This time I returned to Daxing and moved to the Xinhou Mansion that Yang Jianci had. This marquis' mansion is close to the imperial city, and there are a lot of various magistrates, various pillar states, and Wang Yan is just a few county marquis. It is really not enough to see these people.

However, his status cannot be understood by simply a title. The Marquis did indeed earn the credit on the grassland. But he did not give him another chance to go to the battlefield to make a fortune. It was not that Yang Guang insisted on transferring him, but because he wanted to transfer Wang Yan elsewhere, no one wanted to. If you stay in Bingzhou, Wang Yan's reputation among the border troops is too high and his appeal is too strong, which can easily cause trouble.

This is also because Wang Yan did not act according to the original mission goal of burning, killing and looting on the grassland. He has a brain, but he has ideas, and is still hostile to the aristocratic family. Then he can't put a knife in his hand.

No one is a fool. Although people from aristocratic families do not have the spirit of adventure, they have long-term vision, so everyone tacitly followed Wang Yan, not allowing him to move upwards, and excluded from the core power. Without any last resort, Wang Yan had no chance to go to the frontier to fight and make contributions.

The same thing is true, the Sui Dynasty has no shortage of people who can fight.

But Wang Yan might have a surprise victory if he came out. If others come out, they may have a small victory, and they will have to mobilize more troops and logistics, but everyone is rich, which one is the best choice, which is obvious...

In Daxing, this large mansion has basically come to an end. Nothing else, it's big. The various pavilions, towers and rocks in the yard are all available.

However, Wang Yan didn't have any special feelings about this, but it was just ordinary. The house is big, so many people must live there. There were not so many people in his family. Including slaves and troops, there were only more than one hundred people living with him. Even this big house can't be cleaned up.

When Princess Qionghua moves in, there will be more and more people. A lot of people come in in a mess. At that time, there may be more lively...

Wang Yan's house was still as cold as ever, and it was not lively at all. Li Jing was still so comfortable. In the afternoon, he got a lot of wine and food to come to visit.

"Brother, I'll be fine after one or two years."

"The pharmacist thinks that my brother is fine?"

"I think my brother is very good."

Wang Yan laughed: "That's very good. Let's go and drink in the house. You have to be thinking of being a brother, the pharmacist."

Immediately, Wang Yan intimately took Li Jing's arm into the hall and ordered people to cook. The two of them sat down on the large round table in the dining room.

Li Jing has been here many times and knows that Wang Yan doesn’t like to share meals and eats at the same table at his own house. He got used to it, but instead thought it was very good.

"The wine you bought is boring, drink it for brother."

Wang Yan poured rice wine over forty-five degrees and poured it for Li Jing.

"Brother, although this wine is good, I have a split headache after getting drunk." Li Jing said, "During the New Year, my brother gave me a lot. How could I drink so much myself? I gave it to others."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Just drink slowly. For my brother, this wine has been aged for a year, so I won't have any headaches. Drink less, and it won't be a big problem."

"Brother, brewing spirits consumes a lot of food, right?"

"Several times more than ordinary wine." Wang Yanhan nodded with a smile, "But what I used for my brother is not the food from our Great Sui Dynasty, but the rice from Nanyue. What's wrong with several times or several times?"

Wang Yan did not keep the sea trade secret with Li Jing, and this matter could not be hidden. He just didn't say anything, but at the same time he didn't hide. He made a lot of noise to build a ship. Before going to sea, he loaded mountains of goods, and after he came back, he piled up mountains of goods, which were all seen by local big customers.

They even had some actions in private, but they were not yet in a state of chaos. Everyone was trying to find out the news, and even things like buying boatmen, sailors, etc. happened.

Under Yang Guang's instruction, Wang Yan ignored it. Even some news was revealed to the big Jiangnan owners. It is necessary for him to better control the big families in Jiangnan and deepen the connection of interests.

As for rice winemaking, as mentioned earlier, it is to avoid excessive waste of food. White wine above forty-five degrees will last longer, and the value of the spirit wine is far higher than the grains used to make wine. It's a big profit.

Influenced by the fleet, the indigenous farming areas in South Vietnam were very motivated. They want to exchange for more good things from the Great Sui Dynasty.

Although many people died there, it is a win-win situation for both sides.

But Li Jing only knew about this. He asked in surprise: "Brother actually sent someone to sea? What's the situation overseas?"

"A group of uncivilized barbarians have just occupied a good land. Haven't you given you a lot of seafood and spices in the past two years? They were all made by the fleet outside. There are as many as you want."

"In this way, overseas barbarians have no combat power?"

"My Great Sui army is sharp, so how can I stop it if I have combat power?" Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile, "It's not worth worrying. The money and food over there are more important, and the profits of the sea trade are quite good."

"Brother is really a very good person." Li Jing couldn't help but exclaim.

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

"But the pharmacist must keep this matter confidential and must not be spread, otherwise it will cause trouble."

"Your Highness, King of Jin?"

Wang Yan shook his head gently: "Your Majesty is there."

"That's true?"

"If you only manage the maritime trade for your brother's family, how can you dare to say that your army is sharp? That's what you want to behead you."

"Brother, don't worry, I will rot in my stomach."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be bad. It will be fine after these few years. At that time, if you think about the great families in the future, you will know it. This matter is not a secret."

Li Jing nodded and asked, "Brother, did the Kaihuang Plow come from my brother?"

"Oh? Have the pharmacist heard about this?"

"In this way, are you really your elder brother?" Li Jing smiled, "This is a great thing that has been famous for all generations. Everyone in the world must remember the elder brother's merits."

"Of course the merits belong to Your Majesty, and the King of Jin. It is enough to leave a name for your brother. Some small things are not worth mentioning, and success does not have to be with me. All the people in the world can get benefits. Come on, drink and drink. .”

So Wang Yan and Li Jing started to talk about what happened in the past two years.

Although the two of them had a communication, they obviously couldn't be written on paper. It's just to greet each other's life situation and say something happy. Now the two of them talked about each other and said a lot more.

Now Li Jing is no longer the former Gongcao of Chang'an County, but has been promoted to the direct chief of the hall. This is a seventh-rank official position in the Inner Bureau of the Menxia Provincial Hall, which is under the jurisdiction of the six bureaus of Shangshi, Shangyao, Shangyi, Shangshe, Shangcheng and Shangyan, assisting the Inner Bureau of the Palace.

This is a serious unit directly under the central government, and the information I have been exposed to is quite extensive and I know a lot of things.

When Li Jing talked about gossip in the court, he looked like he was eating melons and was very happy.

Wang Yan told Li Jing about some things in the south, the distribution of power there, etc.

It was a great conversation...

It was another hangover. This time, Li Jing honestly ate breakfast at Wang Yan and went to work, without giving in without giving in.

Wang Yan was doing nothing and took Xiao Mei and her children to stroll on the street.

He doesn't have to worry about marriage, the royal family is ready. He came back in advance to prepare, but it was nothing more than cooperating with various processes.

He had nothing to do in Daxing and had no people to interact with him, so he just wandered around in his spare time. Look at the east and west markets, go to the village outside the city for a walk and take a look, and then solve some problems, which is very comfortable.

Two days later, after Wang Yan returned home that day, he saw a nervous rough man in the concierge and a thin child who had just grown up who had bowed his head and said nothing.

When they saw Wang Yan, they shouted "Marquis" and were about to kneel down and kowtow.

Wang Yan grabbed them and did not let them kneel down. He smiled and patted the rough man on the shoulder: "Zhang Si, how could he kowtow when he saw a certain family? Everyone is brother. If this is spread, how do others see it? I?"

Looking at Wang Yan's friendly smile, he even called out his name, and Zhang Si's heart was relieved. Wang Yan is a trusted man, and he still remembers him, and he did not look down on them just because he became a marquis.

Zhang Si's tears suddenly came: "Mr. Marquis, my family has suffered a disaster and I can't live anymore. I'll send my child here. Marquis will help find a way out..."

Wang Yan waved his hand: "Look at you both have been hungry for a long time, let's talk while eating. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, don't cry like a woman."

So Wang Yan and the father and drink, and also learned the reason.

It’s just that my family is drought and I have to pay the taxes in the fields. I have to provide food and drinks. I really can’t help it. So Zhang Si was so anxious that he went to the hospital and took his eldest son out to Wang Yan for help.

After all, Wang Yan once said that if you have something to ask him, you will definitely do your best. He also wanted to give it a try and find a way out. But I didn't expect that Wang Yan is so powerful now. He has become a marquis and wants to marry a princess.

He didn't dare to come, and in the end he came to the door in the spirit of coming.

Of course, this matter is not a big problem for Wang Yan, and it is not just Zhang Si's own problem. After all, his fellow villagers are not having a good time. Everyone met each other at the beginning, but only Zhang Si dared to be big I ran over from afar to find someone, but the others didn't have this idea.

So Wang Yan took Zhang Si's eldest son in to work under his command, and sent someone to transfer a batch of grain to Zhang Si's hometown to help those soldiers who knew him get through the difficulties.

The causes planted today will surely bear the sweet fruits of the future...

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