Chapter 1342 The Crown Prince's Close Minister

Seeing Wang Yan looking at the letter with a smile on his face, Xiao Mei couldn't help but approach.

"What good news? Husband is so happy?"

"The prince was deposed and imprisoned in the deep palace. King Jin became the prince." As he said that, Wang Yan handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Mei.

I read the latter once, and it was written by Yang Guang himself. Yang Guang's calligraphy is very good, but the words on this letter are wild and sloppy, which shows the inner excitement when the letter is written.

"It's great. Husband, King Jin has become the crown prince. In the future, my husband's life will definitely be much better than before. If they stop him, my husband can go higher."

Wang Yan shook his head funny: "It's not that simple. Even Your Majesty can't be eliminated in one word, let alone the prince. And now the maritime trade and the navy are the most important, so I can't leave. I have to do two more. After three years, I was asked to divide the naval army and then I was transferred away.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mei was also very angry: "Husband, are you really watching like this? You don't act at all? This is our foundation."

"We have no foundation, and you don't understand it. If we fight or cooperate, we are seeking death. But we will definitely not be able to wait for death. The navy is not so easy to divide. I have my own arrangements. In the future, we can always command part of the movement."

"That's good. Otherwise, we would have lost a lot if we made a wedding dress for others for nothing."

"It's not a big loss. After all, we have earned a lot of money and food, and our fleet is the largest and best, and the combat effectiveness is the strongest. Last year, people were sent to explore further places and wait for them to come back. , we may find another treasure land."

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, peppers, etc. are all necessary to get them back. On the one hand, importing grain overseas is one thing, and you must ensure that your own production is sufficient.

And to be honest, even in ancient times when productivity was low, the total grain output was enough to ensure that no one living on this land would starve to death. He could not eat enough but could always have food. He would have hunger after a few bites. Not dead. It is the hoarding of large households, the exploitation of all links, the disadvantage of disaster relief, and the unreasonable allocation, which leads to people starving to death.

Relatively speaking, importing grain from overseas is not a good choice to make money. Large households do not lack food, and they are even too much to become moldy. Therefore, many large-scale homes prefer to make various other things, such as spices, seafood, minerals, and local specialties. They will not waste the precious space on the ship to load more food, as long as they are enough to consume the crew.

However, the large fleet of Lao Wang's family was persistent and persistent in bringing grain from overseas. They even helped Nanyue improve rice seeds so that they could produce more.

Such a massive amount of grain was brought back, coupled with the grain he purchased in the Great Sui Dynasty, which was already a considerable amount. Not to mention other places, at least in the south, he has almost unified the food market in the south. Based on his purchase price and sales price, everyone followed his pace.

The advantage is that he maintained the grain prices in the south, and would not sell them at a low price because of bumper harvests, nor would he raise prices because of reduced production, which would lead to the people being unable to afford food.

People who maintain farming have some profits, and people who do not do farming will not spend too much money to buy food.

Of course, this was done after he asked Yang Guang for instructions. He also told Yang Guang about food and economy, so Yang Guang asked him to implement it, and Yang Guang also gave Yang Jian a lecture.

This time, Yang Yong was deposed and Yang Guang took office, which can be said to be completely what everyone hoped for. Wang Yan has made too many contributions to Yang Guang, and he has complete all kinds of civil and military achievements.

The grasslands were victorious and the navy was established to go out to sea. Yangzhou was also well-managed, with a prosperous atmosphere, and the whole Jiangnan was honest and everyone was in harmony.

In comparison, Yang Yong seemed very useless. This time, such a big thing happened again. My parents who had long disliked him, so they reached a unified goal and directly dealt with him to make Yang Laoer, who is more sensible, capable and filial, have reached a unified goal. Getting on the position.

This is a very correct choice. After all, if Yang Guang is not allowed to take office, then after Yang Yong goes up, he will definitely not let Yang Guang have a good life. Yang Guang obviously will not kill him. In the end, the two of them will kill each other and be corrupt. The fate of the Great Sui Dynasty was not worth the loss.

So Yang Yong, who looks more useless and has more problems, changed to Yang Guang, who is more capable, and saved a lot of trouble. This is something that both Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo can see.

After hearing what Wang Yan said, Xiao Mei said, "I see that Yang Guang is not a good person. Even if he becomes the crown prince, he will definitely not be willing to be at the mercy of others. I am afraid that it will not take long to assassinate Your Majesty. The days of the most powerful minister are not far away.”

Wang Yan smiled and said, "No matter whether it is an assassination or not, we must not mix up such things. Let Yu Wen and them do it, they are bad-minded."

"My husband still won't let Yu Wenji go."

"I have to hack him to death if I have a chance."

Xiao Mei couldn't help but smile. He knew that Wang Yan was a vengeful person. There are only two revenges that have not been avenged at present, one is Yuwen's family and the other is Yang Su. Both of them are not easy to move.

Wang Yan waved his hand: "I won't say it anymore, don't let Qionghua know. I'll write a reply to our Prince's prince and flatter you."

Princess Qionghua is an innocent and romantic person. She was born in the deep palace. After marrying Wang Yan, the family was in harmony and had no other worries. She was happy every day.

These messy things should not affect Qionghua's good mood. Wang Yan still takes good care of her, after all, has he always been a good man...

Yang Guang became the crown prince and became the crown prince, and the influence continued to spread.

There is no doubt that this is an excellent thing for Wang Yan. He has always firmly followed and supported Yang Guang, and has made considerable contributions. He is one of the main promoters for Yang Guang to become the leader.

Even if he is despicable, people have to say that he has the power of Lu Buwei at this time. Just so happens, he is indeed a great businessman in the world at present.

In just a few years, it has surpassed the accumulation of many major players in business for hundreds of years.

Of course, it is just a business business, among which the main ones are marine trade, spirits, skin care, and cosmetics, and add another breeding. Now he is the largest breeding and selling chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep and pigs in the Sui Dynasty, and others cannot beat him.

After many years of development, there have been considerable progress in both breeding scale and breeding experience, and a group of talents who are proficient in breeding and veterinary medicine have been cultivated. If you are hanging with him, you can really eat meat.

However, the big players are not good at commercial affairs. After all, they do not have much new ideas in doing business. They rely on relationships and do exclusive things. What they are even more powerful is a big net of interests woven through blood relationships over hundreds of years. When aristocratic families go out for a walk, they know people everywhere they go. If they force themselves, they will have some relatives everywhere they go.

At the same time, they use land and food to bind the people in their family locations, so that the people can farm and provide them with exhausted farming and offering them to them, while also being at ease and maintaining their supreme authority in the local area.

These are things that Wang Yan cannot compare with. They are all political allies. He really has no ally in the court, and it is too much worse.

Of course, after becoming the General of Weihai, in addition to the responsibility of the throne of the sea trade he possessed, he was also a leader of the Great Sui Dynasty. In addition to building up his own business, some people from poor families have begun to show their kindness to him, and there are also many middle-level officers showing their kindness to him, hoping to get his blessing.

In fact, he has a good reputation now. Both the soldiers and farmers are bragging for him, and some businessmen are spreading everywhere, saying how rich the farms under Wang Yan are and how well the farmers live.

The farmers live a good life, and they have enough farming to eat and drink. They raise a lot of egg layings at home. There is no problem with eating chicken every now and then. The pigs raised in the same farm are not all killed during the New Year. Relationship is enough to kill a fat person in a month. Everyone can divide it into pieces and fill in the oil and water.

Wang Yan imported the food consumed from overseas to make up for the consumption of the food consumed by breeding. At the same time, because everyone ate meat, they ate less food, and their faces were red after receiving nutritional supplements.

At the same time, because Wang Yan persisted in education, he found poor scholars to enlighten the children of the village households. In the past many years, the grown children have joined various positions in Wang Yan's business empire and worked loyally for Wang Yan. Wang Yan's property looks the same as their own.

Wang Yan really gave a lot. In addition to the necessary money for expansion and the continuous accumulation of various strategic materials, he gave his subordinates a considerable amount of money, so that everyone could all. Live a good life.

The result is indeed the case, everyone has lived a good life.

It is even simpler in the army. Whether in Taiyuan or Yangzhou before, the soldiers of the government had good food and drinks. Wang Yan personally blackmailed local big-name households for money to send red envelopes to everyone. Not to mention the current navy army, they all make a fortune.

At the same time, their families basically followed Wang Yan to have dinner. Anyway, if you have difficulties at home, you just need to find General Wang Yan, the best. Whether it was short of money or the family was bullied by local wealthy households and officials, Wang Yan helped them stand out.

Wang Yan's prestige is accumulated little by little...

Now that Yang Guang is in power, as Yang Guang’s most trustworthy person, Wang Yan’s status is even more prosperous. After all, Yang Guang will inherit the position in the future, and Wang Yan, a trustworthy confidant, must be powerful in the court and the opposition.

Yang Guang could not make any big mistakes. He was beaten like Yang Yong. The big family also knew that Yang Jian and Yang Guang wanted to suppress them. Wang Yan was the most suitable person, and Wang Yan has always played this role. Role.

So the situation is already very clear, so we naturally have to strive for it and practice it with Wang Yan. At least it cannot be too hostile, otherwise no one can stand Wang Yan's rise to the throne and stare at them and bite them in the future.

Yes, they directly believed that Wang Yan was a loyal dog under Yang Guang.

However, Wang Yan did not reject this. After all, the lackeys under his disciples were still good words at this time. He was indeed loyal to Yang Guang, and no one was more loyal than him.

He accepted the closeness these people expressed without hesitation.

In fact, these people's intentions are not that pure. Their purpose is to assimilate Wang Yan, and everyone is in the same camp, and they will act for Yang Jian and Yang Guang on the surface, fool you and I will laugh everyone.

If Wang Yan had not married the princess, they would have married Wang Yan, a noble daughter that ordinary people could not expect, and bind the in-laws relationship. Now that it is not possible, their noble daughter married into a concubine, wouldn’t it be that she fell into her family? The noble daughters of a big family married out of the country and became the chief wives.

Wang Yan's life became stable, ignoring the actions of officers at all levels sent, silently maintaining order at sea, operating his own business safely, and rebel power reserves.

Foreign exploration has also expanded a lot. Taiwan and Hainan Island have become supply stations, including Japan and Ryukyu, and have been taught a lesson. News of a lot of money in Japan has spread out. The jealous big players can be said to be killing. Crazy. They enslave people and divide them, and they are all very good at making money.

Australia has been explored at the southernmost end, and there is a vast land there. After discovering this news, people are very excited. Currently looking for mineral deposits there, and to enslave locals who are not easy to find mining, and to bring civilization to them.

Exploring overseas land is carried out step by step. Go along the mainland and to a place that has not been discovered, make a chart, remember the route, explore the surrounding areas, and then build a supply station on the land, and use this Based on it, continue to explore.

This process is very slow and is promoted in years, but after so many years of development, the results are still very good. At least Southeast Asia has been explored almost the same thing. It has touched the third brother in the west. It is now at the end of the Gupta Dynasty and is also a very powerful dynasty.

In the north, we are surrounded by the peninsula, and have already passed the Bering Strait. When we arrive in North America, we are not far from getting back many seeds.

The overall process of stepping into the ocean is mainly Wang Yan's caravan, and his caravan, navy and soldiers, undertake the task of exploration. The big families behind him followed him, like a glutton, making benefits everywhere. Of course, they also undertake a considerable part of the logistics work, building supply stations, etc., all of which are the contributions of the aristocratic families.

The vast land of maritime trade and endless wealth made the big families look outside, and they caused less harm to the people of the Sui Dynasty. In addition, the wealth of the Sui Dynasty was really prosperous and the people were safe, and the imperial rule was established.

However, although the country is stable, the border areas are not calm.

The Turks, who had been quiet for several years, were not honest again. Although Changsun Sheng's plan to disintegrate the division and disintegration was useful, he was unhappy for this and that one.

Du Lan Khan submitted a petition to the Sui Dynasty for marriage, and Changsun Sheng suggested marrying the princess to Tuli Khan. This was Princess Anyi. After Princess Anyi died, there was another Princess Yicheng. Of course, Du Lan was unhappy. , he had to make trouble with the Great Sui Dynasty, so he repeatedly attacked the border.

The other side of Goguryeo was also not quiet. In the 18th year of Kaihuang, Gao Yuan, the King of Yingyang of Goguryeo, led more than 10,000 cavalrymen to disturb western Liaoning and was repelled by Wei, the general manager of Yingzhou. In February, Yang Jian appointed King Yang Liang and Wang Shiji as the marshals of the Han Dynasty, and Zhou Luohou as the chief supervisor of the naval army, leading a large army of 300,000 to attack Goguryeo. In September, the forced crossing of the Liao River was rainy again, and the epidemic spreads in the army, and the army returned unfavorably.

At that time, Wang Yan sent 10,000 naval troops to join the war, but the battle was very embarrassed and he didn't even get the hair.

In the 19th year of Kaihuang (599), the Han King Yang Liang was in charge of the three armies and started fighting with the Turks.

It was also at this time that after two years, the navy had almost been taken over, and it was the time for a war to hire people. So Wang Yan, who had been in Yangzhou for as many as nine years, finally removed the position of General Weihai. He was ordered to return to the capital...
