Chapter 237: Yang Guang's Dispatch
、、、、、、、、、、
Pei Ju hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is indeed kind-hearted, if Yu Ming knows that His Majesty trusts and respects him so much, and dares to rebel, I am afraid it is not as good as a pig and a dog!" ”
After flattering Yang Guang a lot, Pei Ju said squarely: "Actually, the saint doesn't have to worry. Diao Yuming is out of Liaodong, it's not that he doesn't reuse. If he is transferred to the commander of the attack on the Turks, he will be promoted to an official position of the main or even the second, such as the six departments of the squire or Chang, Guanglu Siqing and other positions. I believe that no one will say that the saint crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and the bird was hidden with the bow! ”
After a pause, he said again: "The old minister also proposed that when Yu Ming was appointed as the squire of the Sixth Department or the secretary of the Guanglu Temple, he would not cancel his position as the marshal of the Liaodong Xingying, so that he would have a false title and could get two copies of Yulu. What a rare honor! ”
"Well, that's fine!" After Yang Guang pondered for a moment, Fang nodded and agreed: "Pei Aiqing is so thoughtful, then according to Pei Xiangguo's words!" Anyway, Wang Shichong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also told me before, saying that he lacked a squire in the Ministry of War, so let Yuming go to work...... After he became a squire in the military department, he became a high-ranking official in both military and military aspects, as for his original title of Marquis of Pyongyang...... Well, I'll crown him as the Marquis of Liaodong again. I'm kind of funny enough for him. ”
"Holy Heaven!" Pei Ju said overjoyed.
"Today's court meeting has passed, and I don't need to go to the court meeting to discuss this matter, just let Lao Yue announce the decree!" Yang Guang said after thinking for a while.
Pei Ju hurriedly nodded yes, and when he saw that his goal had been achieved, he bowed down and retreated.
……
Yu Ming didn't know that Yang Guang was already planning to transfer him back. He was leading the army back to Liaodong City at the moment.
The city of Jidu Siyu is separated from Liaodong City by more than 1,000 miles, and if you ride a fast horse, it only takes four or five days to arrive. However, during this expedition to Ji and Silla, the Liaodong army reaped a lot of harvest, receiving tens of thousands of stone of grain, as well as the wealth accumulated by these two countries over the years, and several large carts of copper coins and gold and silver alone. In addition, there were several rivers to cross, so the march of the army was very slow. It took him two months to return to Liaodong City.
When he arrived at the gate of Liaodong City, Yu Ming only felt that there were many more people coming in and out than when he set off a month ago. The whole city began to come alive and vibrant. Red Sleeves, Du Ruhui and others got the news early and came to greet them at the city gate.
The husband and wife hadn't seen each other for more than a month, so naturally they had to hug each other and cry, lingering for a while, before the two let go, and then the red sleeves happily led Yuming to walk around the city.
After entering the city, Yuming found that there were more merchants in the city than before, but they were mainly merchants selling animal skins, cattle and sheep, ginseng, grain, and war horses. Other shops such as inns, restaurants, green houses, and pawnshops have also increased a lot compared to the past. The entire Liaodong City presents a thriving scene.
After walking to the square in the center of the city, Yuming also saw some people dressed in Central Plains costumes, who seemed to be family members picked up by soldiers of the Liaodong Army from their hometowns. They were curiously gazing at the announcement posted in the square, which stated the laws and regulations that should be observed in Liaodong. and the rights and obligations enjoyed by becoming a resident of Liaodong.
It sets out what they need, how much tax they should pay, and where to file a complaint in the event of a dispute. The newcomers were watching the announcement intently, learning how their future homeland would be different from how the rest of the Great Sui court would be administered.
They soon discovered that the taxes on the Liaodong side were half less than those in the Central Plains, and the government also issued farm tools, seeds, and cattle. Liaodong is an endless plain with a vast area and sparsely populated population, and there is no serious problem of land annexation in the Central Plains. Every adult male was given one acre of land, cultivated for five years, and after paying the tax in full, it became his own property and a land deed was issued. How this does not delight the displaced farmers.
At this time, Yuming noticed that two young men dressed as soldiers were pointing to the contents of the announcement and arguing fiercely. There seemed to be a vague mention of some of his own policies, so he was curious, so he leaned over.
I only heard one of the stout young men in his twenties say to another thin young man of seventeen or eighteen years old: "Second brother, you see that this Liaodong camp actually stipulates that not only the tax for farming and farming will be halved, but also the government will issue seeds and farm tools. After harvesting the grain, the camp also purchased from the peasants at the market price, no wonder so many displaced people ran to Liaodong, and many peasants in our Guanlong area are ready to come. Daddy was still worried that it was a scam, let's come over and take a look, but I didn't expect to see this duke with the official seal as soon as I got on the pier, it seems to be true! ”
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old thin boy shook his head and said: "I think, there is no free lunch in the world, and the tax of the Liaodong camp is so favorable. You see that there is one item in the obligation column in this announcement: men who have reached the age of 16 need to take time out every month to participate in the military training organized by the village commanders, and when there is an emergency in Liaodong, they must go to the armor commanders to receive armor weapons and temporarily join the guards. Doesn't that mean we're half soldiers? This policy is rather akin to the government military system. ”
After thinking for a moment, his companion also nodded and said: "The advantage of the government military system is that the cost is cheap, there is no need to provide special military salaries for soldiers, and they are soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime. As soon as something happens, a large army can be gathered quickly. However, the disadvantage is that the soldiers have less military training, and they spend a lot of time farming in peacetime, so the combat quality of the soldiers is poor. ”
But he didn't dare to say anything more when he said this, and he was dissatisfied with the imperial court's system. Although the Sui Dynasty did not have a big letter like the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later generations, and was not allowed to comment on the government and the government, and the atmosphere was open, for the court officials, the scholars who always slandered the government were naturally not very fond of it. The two of them had just arrived, and naturally they didn't want these words to reach the ears of local officials.
It's just that they didn't know that these words had already been heard clearly by Yuming, who was listening attentively on the side.
Yu Ming sighed secretly, the immortality of his cultivation really had a great effect, and now that he had entered the middle stage of divine transformation, he could hear the whispers clearly from five or six feet, as if he had grown a pair of ears that were tailwind.
"Husband, do you think that has a problem with scholars?" Red Sleeves glanced at the two scholars who were staring at Yu Ming.
"There may be no problem, it should be the surname that really plans to settle in Liaodong, but I'm more interested in them, I'll trouble you when I go back, get the information of these two people, and then show it to me!" Yu Ming smiled slightly.
Between the scholars and generals of the Sui Dynasty, the difference is often not obvious, most of them can enter the phase, out of the general, like the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin, Yuming and others are proficient in poetry and leading troops to fight.
Although these two scholars do not know whether they know the art of war and fight, they can see that they have a certain study of military affairs from their analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the government military system.
At this time, Liaodong City, I saw that the commerce in the city was much more prosperous than before he left, and the shops of well-known merchants such as Longmen Inn, Huitong Qianzhuang, and Cao Ji Pawnshop had already come to open a branch, and even Tingxiang Pavilion had come to open a branch, which made Yuming laugh dumbly, remembering Yin Fei who had made him extremely sympathetic and heartbroken.
Yu Ming walked to his mansion and just entered the door, but he was pleasantly surprised. I saw a beautiful woman standing at the door in her twenties, and a gust of wind blew, and a faint fragrance came to her nose.
This beauty is wearing a silver Luo shirt, a water-red gauze skirt, jade hands are greasy and white, and her posture is graceful, just like the beauty in the picture of a lady, and the most rare thing is that the appearance of such a beautiful and gentle woman, with a heroic spirit in her willow eyebrows, makes her look particularly moving.
"Yu Qing, why are you here?" Yu Ming was surprised and delighted, because this person was none other than his sister Yu Yuqing.
When Yu Yuqing saw him come back, she was also overjoyed and said, "Brother, you're back!" Father asked me to inform you of an urgent matter, and I want you to discuss a quick countermeasure! ”
"Oh? What's up? When Yu Ming heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. Because he knew that if it weren't for some major emergencies, Yuhua would not have been able to let his precious sister come all the way to Liaodong.
"The Holy Lord wants to transfer you back to the Eastern Capital, and sent Father-in-law Yue to come to announce the decree, according to the calculation of the foot, it is estimated that Yue Zeng Province should also be almost there!" Yu Yuqing sighed.
"Ahh Yu Ming never expected that the thing he least wanted to happen would happen. It seems that the idea of counting on his father Yuhua and his eldest uncle Sun Wuji to lobby from it to help him block a move is completely frustrated.
"What happened? What is Your Majesty planning to do when I am being transferred back? Who did he send to replace me? Yu Qing, come one by one! Yu Ming grabbed Yu Yuqing's wrist and said in a hurry.
Yu Yuqing sighed lightly, and then Fang told the matter of the court's central court meeting and Yang Guang's final decision to let Chen Ling serve as Liaodong's guard.
Yu Ming listened carefully and kept asking a few questions, but the more he listened, the more gloomy his face became. Just when he was about to summon the generals to discuss, Guo Yi suddenly rushed to report out of breath: "Marshal, the imperial court has sent Gonggong Yue, who is already at the gate of the marshal's mansion, saying that there is a holy decree to announce!" ”
"This Yue Zeng Province is really fast! It was only a little later than me. When Yu Yuqing heard this, she was also shocked. You must know that after she heard the news, she came day and night, but she didn't expect Yue Zeng Province to come so quickly.
Yu Ming's face also changed slightly, and he hurriedly said to Guo Yi: "Quickly set up the incense case, and order the generals above the captain level who are still in the headquarters to go to the hall to welcome the holy decree!" ”
