Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 467 Qin Shihuang and Yang Jian
Fang Xuanling came to Hedong, he was called by Yang Ming.

Because the East Palace also needs to change clothes, without Yang Guang's reminder, Yang Ming also knows who should give priority to the first armor weapon to be built.

One is the imperial guards of the emperor, the other is the imperial guards of the crown prince, and then it is the turn of other military palaces. When it is beneficial, it is always from top to bottom, and I have never seen it from bottom to top.

With the erection of blast furnaces, the shipment volume of the refinery increased geometrically. Yang Xiong was in charge of Guanzhong resources scheduling in the capital, half of which was reserved for Guanzhong refinery kilns, and half was transported to Hedong.

Because Chidao consumes a lot of treasury, the treasury actually doesn't have much money, and it is all supported by Bashu at the moment.

Yang Ming had already said hello to Southwest Xingtai: make money, make money, make money.

The complicated political issues in Bashu area will not be resolved in a short while, but money can be made. After all, Bashu area is like a fish pond in the backyard of the Sui Dynasty. The season for fishing.

Yang Gongren and Wang Shilong are both experts in making money, and they have a lot of routines.

Bashu is different from other places. In almost every county here, there are so-called big families with the surname Jia. There are no huge wealthy families like Guanzhong, Shandong, and Jiangnan. They are relatively scattered, but they have very deep control over the local area. .

As a result, the control of Bashu by the Sui Dynasty will form a strange situation, that is, official authority and private authority.

The official authority is the officials sent by the Great Sui Dynasty, and the folk authority is the local big family. Neither family can have the final say. Only things that are unanimously approved by the two will count.

The local rich families in Bashu are very easy to distinguish, as long as they have the surnames Tu, Zan, E, Du, Xi, Ba, Fan, Yu (Qin), Xiang, Tax, Guo, Tong, Chang, Man, Zi, Mou, Du, Tuo, Wu, Mu, Ju, Fu, Qiao, Gou, Gou, Ju, Lan, Pi, Cun, Yang, Chi, Ruo, Guan, Chong, and Rabbit are all Bashu people in all likelihood.

In addition, there are Xie, Li, Park, Luo, Yang, Du, Gong, Qin, Liao, He, and Zheng, and these surnames are also found in the Central Plains.

There are a lot of rich families in Bashu, but compared with the rich in Guanzhong, they are just small local tyrants.

Because there are many, it is convenient to divide and attack, because they are not united, and there is no wealthy family in the Bashu area with enough prestige and strength to lead other families.

"How's Xi Zai doing over there?" Yang Ming took Fang Xuanling for a walk in the training ground. The latter was shocked by the scene of turmoil around him. He only came back to his senses when he heard Yang Ming's question.

"Qiao, Li, Xie, Yang, and Gong are the most recruited officials at present, and some of the official vacancies opened by Yang Shangshu are basically bought by these few companies," Fang Xuanling said:
"Pei Xizai's report to the East Palace said that many Bashu children are indeed useful and can be qualified for higher positions. It's just about the rank of officials. Yang Shangshu and the others dare not easily make decisions."

Yang Ming nodded: "The issue of Bashu is complicated and needs to be taken slowly. Assistant officials and small officials can give it, but the chief officer must not. Be careful that people rely on official power to become big. I will say hello to Yang Gongren and Wang Shilong. Be sure to lock this pass."

Bashu people want to be chief officials above the county magistrate, they can only do it in places other than Bashu, don't even think about it in the local area, otherwise the official authority and private authority will grasp it, which is not easy to control.

Fang Xuanling said: "This year's scientific examination will be held in Luoyang, has the prince heard about it?"

Yang Ming nodded: "You mean the one whose surname is Qiao? I heard that His Majesty appointed Jinshi and sent him to Jiangnan as a county magistrate?"

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qiao surname was already a prominent family in Bashu. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period, there was a man named Qiao Zong who was the founding monarch of Xishu, one of the sixteen kingdoms.

Later, the rise of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty ended the great division of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and entered the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Afterwards, Yang Jian unified the country and promoted the reunification of China.

The two emperors of China most admired by the entire Western society are Qin Shihuang and Yang Jian. Anyone who has played Age of Empires knows that if you choose China in the game, the emperor is Yang Jian.

What the two have in common is that they ended the long-term division of China, realized the unification of China, and the formation of the two ancient official systems in China.

The system of Sangong Jiuqing and the system of three provinces and six ministries.

Among them, the system of three provinces and six ministries established a centralized political structure and the basic framework of the feudal system for all dynasties in later generations, and it was used until the Qing Dynasty.

The two of them also have one thing in common, that is, their son failed to live up to expectations and died in the second generation.

In history, all the scholars criticized Yang Guang because they hated him for not fighting. Hu Hai can also say that the world is unstable and the people of the six countries have changed their minds, but what a good situation in the Sui Dynasty.

In this year's scientific examination, a man named Qiao Wending in Bashu emerged successfully and became a Jinshi. It was not because of his ability, but because Yang Guang did it on purpose. Manufacturing's ascending channel.

The power of hope is terrifying. Bashu, which has been shunned by the Central Plains dynasty for hundreds of years, will naturally take advantage of opportunities once they arise, so they will think about how to go up, rather than how to make small moves below. Stability maintenance is crucial.

The reason why Fang Xuanling mentioned this person was because he was not convinced. He was also selected through the scientific examination, but at that time he was only sent to Xicheng as a county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant is far from the county magistrate. The county magistrate can decide the county magistrate himself.

Yang Ming could hear the dissatisfaction in Fang Xuanling's tone, and said with a smile: "Xuanling's energy-raising skills are still not enough, what? If you want to be a county magistrate, I will arrange one for you?"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I'm just feeling a little unhappy. The crown prince first proposed ten subjects to select talents for my Tai Sui, but now it seems that there are only superficial appearances, not bones."

"Don't worry," Yang Ming said as he walked, "Science research is the first of my creation in the Sui Dynasty. Such a ground-breaking move will take time to gradually improve and mature, and it will not be accomplished overnight."

You are a related household, so you have the nerve to make fun of Qiao Wending?To put it bluntly, it is the contempt that the Central Plains clan has for the Bashu clan.

Fang Xuanling continued: "What do you think about Xuan Ting and Wei Zheng? When I go back this time, everyone will definitely ask me what you mean."

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Tell them, the affairs of the Eastern Palace are state affairs. State affairs have their own importance and importance. There are also pros and cons to balance. Let people speak up. If Wei Zheng can be beaten if he says a word, then all the officials in the Eastern Palace, right? Should you all shut up?"

"I will bring back what His Highness said," Fang Xuanling nodded.

Originally, Fang Xuanling would leave in two days, but Yang Ming suddenly felt that it was better to let him go back later.

Because he wanted to see how Li Jing would handle this matter, and what would Yang Xuanting and the others do after handling it?
If he still dared to act presumptuously, Yang Ming would have to deal ruthlessly.

Seeing the climate change, a heavy snow came suddenly.

For this point, the refinery has long taken precautions. There is a layer of wooden boards on the top of each blast furnace to prevent rain and snow from pouring the furnace, and the threshold in the greenhouse is also high to prevent rainwater from entering.
The ancients had rich experience in the construction industry, and the exquisite construction was completely beyond Yang Ming's expectations.

Really, the aesthetics of architecture in later generations is indeed not as good as in ancient times, mainly because of a wood carving, or carpenters were the most popular in ancient times. With this craft, you really can't go hungry.

The current Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has been constantly renovating and building. Normally, it should be located in Wenxi County, or Hedong County, but the refinery is so important that the Metropolitan Governor must be there, and there are two in Hedong The military mansion is also moving to Tangying Township.

Yang Ming lives here, so Dugu Huai'en, the governor, can only live in a remote courtyard.

"It's snowing outside, are you taking a bath here?" Yang Ming looked curiously at Dugu Feng'er in the bathtub, and asked the maid to add more stoves to prevent Dugu Feng'er from freezing.

Dugu Feng'er hugged her knees with both hands, frowned and said with a smile: "Do not despise evil."

Yang Ming smiled, sat down beside him, and said, "Nurse Lou is already on her way here, and she will meet you in a few days. There are some things that she needs to teach you."

Dugu Feng'er was puzzled and said, "What can Madam teach me?"

"Of course it's to please my husband," Yang Ming said slyly.

Dugu Feng'er blushed instantly.

She has only a half-knowledge about that aspect of things. Dugu Jialuo's training for her is mostly about personality, and it doesn't involve the matter of intercourse between men and women.

And Dugu's family also forgot to teach, after all, the girl is not married by a matchmaker, and everything has not been prepared in time.

The reason why it is still half-knowledge is because Dugu Feng'er asked Chen Shuyi about it.

Who can't you ask, you ask her?
So Dugu Feng'er said: "You close your eyes first."

Yang Ming closed his eyes in cooperation, and then heard the sound of water coming out. Gradually, a fragrant wind came, and Dugu Feng'er just sat on Yang Ming.

But then, she didn't know what to do.

Chen Shuyi told her that it was okay to be on a chair, but she felt that it seemed impossible.

After a while, Yang Ming opened his eyes, looked at the embarrassed Dugu Feng'er, and said with a smile:
"You wet my clothes, well, I still have work to do, I'll talk about it later."

Dugu Feng'er got up in a panic, then ran back to the tub naked and squatted down, lowering her head and not daring to look at Yang Ming again.

Yang Ming, on the other hand, continued to look at her with a smirk.

When I saw Feng'er for the first time, she was already emaciated and out of shape, but now her body has recovered, her bones and flesh are well-proportioned, and her skin is healthy and rosy.

Thinking about this girl's previous experience, Yang Ming felt distressed for a while.

If grandmother Dugu Jialuo hadn't assigned Feng'er to herself, she would not have suffered that ordeal.

Yang Ming got up and was about to leave, but Dugu Feng'er suddenly raised her head when she heard the movement, and said:
"Why do you have to wait for Mammy, can't you teach me?"

Yang Ming stopped where he was, pondered for a while, then shook his head and said with a smile:
"That would be boring."
