Chapter 0525 Kou Zhun who drinks vinegar (for Da Meng to be sweet and sad!) )
A good way is a good way, but there is an obstacle in front of Yang Qi.
That is, to this day, Daizhou is still the land of the Great Song Dynasty.
Once Yang Qi transferred Daizhou to Shengzhou and Fengzhou, he would be suspected of rebellion.
Therefore, in the case that the imperial court did not recognize the Yang family's absolute right to rule Daizhou.
Yang Qi really can't easily build a mansion in Daizhou.
"This matter will be put aside for the time being, whether we can build a government in Daizhou, we still have to listen to the meaning of the imperial court, we can't make decisions without permission. Tell me something else......"
The matter of building a government in Daizhou is urgent, and it needs to be slowly planned.
Kou Zhun is also a smart person, as soon as Yang Qi said this, he understood what Yang Qi meant.
Kou Zhun began to say another thing, only to see him say with an ugly face: "I heard that you have reduced taxes again, and once you reduce it, it will be ten years?" ”
Yang Qi looked at Kou Zhun solemnly and said, "In order to protect the people of Shengzhou and Fengzhou, some of them have no hands and some have no feet. Do you think it's too much for me to cut their taxes for 10 years? ”
Kou Zhun nodded and said, "It's not too much, it's just that you have never thought that Fengzhou and Shengzhou have been broken after a series of battles." Do you know how much money will be invested to restore the livelihood of the people in these two states?
If you don't collect taxes, what will you do to feed so many people? ”
Yang Qi groaned: "Previously, I was in Linzhou, Fengzhou, and Shengzhou, and I seized a lot of money, which can be used to relieve the people. Take it from the people, use it for the people. I can't put all my money in my pocket. ”
"Hehe~"
Kou Zhun smiled bitterly twice, shook his head and said, "Do you know that because of the wars in Fengzhou, Linzhou, and Shengzhou, the price of grain in the northwest has risen sharply?" Those profiteers know that we have money but no food, so they raise the price of food one by one.
No matter how much money we have, it won't be enough for them to loot.
Before you were in the war, the lower officials didn't dare to distract you, so they took matters into their own hands and killed many cattle and sheep to provide for the people to live.
Now, the people of Fengzhou and Shengzhou have been eating meat for three months in a row.
Moreover, the cattle and sheep in Fengzhou and Shengzhou have basically been killed by us.
Grain is now in the northwest, and it is more expensive than beef and mutton. ”
After saying this, Kou Zhun gritted his teeth and said: "The most infuriating thing is that there are some profiteers who are willing to make grain into liquor rather than give food to the people to eat.
In order to resist this kind of profiteer, Xia Guan has begun to quit drinking, and now he has changed to drinking vinegar. ”
In order to prove that his words were credible, Kou Zhun also deliberately opened the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip of it.
Yang Qi could smell a strong smell of vinegar from a long distance.
Seeing Kou Zhun looking at him with a resentful expression, Yang Qi understood who the profiteer in Kou Zhun's mouth was.
In the entire northwest, I am afraid that Cao Lin is the only one who will continue to make wine when this kind of grain is more expensive than beef and mutton.
Because compared with the price of beef and mutton, the spirits produced by the Yang family are more expensive.
Yang Qi cried and laughed: "You are a big man, don't be here anymore, compete with a woman." I will get a letter from Cao Lin and ask her to stop the brewing business for the time being and bring the grain to you. ”
Kou Zhun muttered, "That's not enough ......"
Yang Qi waved his hand confidently and said: "You will go to appease the people as soon as possible, help the people divide the fields, and let them resume production as soon as possible, you don't have to worry about the problem of food." I have my own way. ”
Brigadier General Kou asked suspiciously, "How long will it take to ......?"
Yang Qi groaned: "Within a month, I guarantee that I will deliver enough food for the people of Fengzhou and Shengzhou to eat for a year." ”
Kou Zhun stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "This is what you said, you won't be able to get food when the time comes, don't blame the lower officials." ”
Yang Qi couldn't laugh and swore an oath with Kou Zhun with a high-five.
I have to say that Kou Zhun when he was young was far less calm than described in the history books.
More like a cynical urchin.
If it weren't for his heart that was always concerned about the people, Yang Qi really suspected that Kou Zhun in front of him was an impostor.
A person who does not hesitate to drink vinegar for the sake of the people, and does not hesitate to sprinkle with his superiors.
It really lives up to the name of the ages.
Sent Kou Zhun away.
Yang Qi recruited Peng Pai.
He instructed Peng Pai: "You quickly send a letter to Nanguo, ask them to transport a batch of grain to the Great Song Dynasty, and then through their relationship with the merchants, gather some grain and send it here."
As for the money for the purchase of grain, I will send it to the Nanguo Money Bank in Daizhou. ”
Peng Pai was stunned and said in amazement: "Young master, the southern country is your foundation, you take the grain of the southern country, and you still have to give money?" ”
Yang Qi grinned and said, "State affairs are different from family affairs. Although the south of the country has its unique geographical advantages, it can achieve three crops of grain a year. But I can't take food from the people for nothing. It is even more impossible to unscrupulously consume the stocks of the treasury of the southern kingdom.
This is the same and the same is long. It's not a good thing to ask for it. Nor can such a rule be formed in the South.
Therefore, the money that should be given should still be given.
Besides, we don't lack the money to buy food. ”
Peng Pai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then grinned: "My subordinates feel that these are just some of them, the real reason is that you don't want to see Su Yijian, the prime minister of the Southern Kingdom, and also learn from Kou Zhun's appearance, and sprinkle in front of you, right?" ”
Yang Qi glared at Peng Pai angrily and said, "Just you're smart." ”
The problem of grain was left to the south to solve, and I believe that with the prestige of the south among the merchants and the grain reserves of the south country, there should be no problem.
Yang Qi pondered for a moment and said, "After this is done, you can send someone to find a way to take Kou Zhun's family over." ”
"My subordinates understand."
When Kou Zhun was chatting with Yang Qi just now, he talked about his family, although there were some jokes.
But Yang Qi could see that Kou Zheng was really a little homesick.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have mentioned my family.
Yang Qi also understood Kou Zhun's thoughts, although Kou Zhun was talented and capable, he was still only a young man under the age of twenty-two.
It's been almost three years since I was away from home, and it's normal to be homesick.
As a representative figure among Yang Qi's subordinates, Yang Qi must find a way to solve Kou Zhun's worries.
Two things were instructed to Peng Pai.
With Peng Pai's ability to do things, there should be no mistakes.
Let Peng Pai go to do things.
Yang Qi sent someone to send a letter to Cao Lin, asking Cao Lin to take out all the grain she had stored in the Daizhou Distillery and give it to Kou Zhun.
Cao Lin has always been a person who takes the overall situation into account.
This time the reason why Kou Zhun made a stumbling block.
That was also for Yang Qi to see.
Yang Qi quietly stuffed a big beauty into the house, but he didn't inform her that she was unhappy.
Yang Qi can understand Cao Lin's mood and practice.
Although Cao Lin is a traditional woman educated under the Great Song Dynasty Rites.
But she is very possessive.
This may have something to do with the fact that she has been favored by the Cao family since she was a child.
His own woman played a little temper in front of him, Yang Qi could understand.
It's a sign of love.
If he stuffed a woman into his house that day, but Cao Lin was indifferent, that was what he was most worried about.
After receiving Yang Qi's letter, Cao Lin happily closed the wine workshop in Daizhou City and sent the grain she purchased to Kou Zhun in one go.
When Kou Zhun got the food, he was almost crazy with joy.
I wrote a letter of thanks on the spot.
Yang Qi got the letter at that time, and he couldn't cry or laugh a little.
Obviously, he should have thanked Kou Zhun, but he didn't expect Kou Zhun to thank him in turn.
This thing is satirizing itself in disguise.
After putting down Kou Zhun's letter, Yang Qi picked up another letter.
This letter was quietly sent by Cao Lin.
After Yang Qi opened the letter, after seeing the content of the letter, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Zhao Guangyi wanted to recruit the two families of Zheyang, and he also sent his mentor Shen Lun to pass the decree, this is to eat and live with me......"
Yang Qi shook his head and smiled, and after receiving the letter, he entrusted the matter of Fuxing Pass to Yang Da.
I went back to Daizhou with my personal guards.
When the mentor Shen Lun arrived, Yang Qi didn't dare to hold it up.
He had to go to Daiju in person to greet him.
After Yang Qi arrived in Daizhou, he was not in a hurry to return to the house.
He really didn't know how to face Cao Lin and the second daughter who had just woken up, so he was ready to find an inn to live in Daizhou City.
Unexpectedly, at the gate of Daizhou City, he bumped into the frame of Chu Xing and Cao Lin, who had returned from a trip.
Now that it's summer, it will be boring to stay in the house all day, so when I first woke up and Cao Lin, I ordered someone to drive a car and play together.
Cao Lin saw Yang Qi's horse team from afar.
She ordered someone to stop Yang Qi's horse team at the city gate.
Then he ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to Yang Qi.
Through the curtain of the carriage, Cao Linjiao's voice reached Yang Qi's ears.
"Lang Jun returned home today, but he didn't know the concubine, so that the concubine could welcome him here......"
Yang Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with a dry smile: "You are pregnant with Liujia, you should rest in the house, because your husband is rough and thick-skinned, you don't need any greetings......"
Cao Linjiao in the carriage said with a smile: "Lang Jun came in and rested in the carriage, he was in a hurry, and he was violently shone by the scorching sun, so it was inevitable that he would suffer from heat stroke." ”
Yang Qi waved his hand and said, "No need......"
"How can you not use it. You tell me? Awakening sister? ”
When mentioning the first awakening, Cao Lin obviously accentuated her tone.
When I first woke up and saw Yang Qi again, I was obviously a little confused.
She didn't know how to face Yang Qi.
Suddenly, Cao Lin called her name, and she immediately said 'ah'.
Yang Qi couldn't resist Cao Lin, and finally could only climb into the carriage.
As soon as he got into the carriage, two pairs of eyes fell on him.
The newly awakened gaze lingered on Yang Qi's body, and after confirming that Yang Qi was not injured, he stopped looking at him, and lowered his head suddenly.
Cao Lin stared at Yang Qi with a smile, his gaze swept back and forth between Yang Qi and Chu Xing.
Yang Qi smiled dryly: "Lin'er, when I first woke up, I met you as soon as I returned to Daizhou, it was really fate." ”
Cao Lin smiled and said: "This is not fate, since the concubine knew that Lang Jun's mentor was coming to Daizhou, she knew that Lang Jun must return to Daizhou."
So the concubine has been waiting at the gate of the city with her sister for the past few days. ”
"Ahem, cough, cough~"
Yang Qi pretended to cough to hide the embarrassment on his face.
I saw Cao Lin beckoning to Yang Qi and said, "Lang Jun, the blanket in this carriage is too hard, the carriage is bumpy all the way, and the concubine feels a little uncomfortable in her stomach." Come over and let the concubine lean against her. ”
Yang Qi smiled bitterly and came to Cao Lin's side.
Cao Lin sacrificed the child as a threat, and Yang Qi could only obediently obey.
As soon as Yang Qi sat down, Cao Lin's fingers silently pinched the soft flesh on Yang Qi's waist, and then twisted it fiercely.
"You are really ruthless, you left your concubine body, and went to Fuxingguan to work hard, without even saying a word, do you know how worried the concubine is about you."
Yang Qi grinned in pain, and he had to say good things with all his strength.
Cao Lin didn't mean to stop at all, she complained about Yang Qi, and said: "The most infuriating thing is that you are so bold that you took advantage of the danger of others to kidnap your newly awakened sister to the house."
This is not what a gentleman calls ...... When did my Cao Lin's husband become a raccoon dog with those flower thieves who stole chickens and dogs? ”
Yang Qi just endured the pain, smiled dryly, and didn't say a word.
Unexpectedly, Cao Lin started harder, and she said faintly: "You pervert, you don't have a word of explanation." You've been plotting for a long time about your newly awakened sister's beauty, right? ”
Yang Qi still didn't speak.
On the other hand, when I first woke up, my head was low and I was about to get between my legs.
From the gate of the city, all the way to Yang's mansion, Yang Qi was devastated by Cao Lin.
After arriving at Yang's Mansion.
Cao Lin was the first to get out of the carriage, and after getting out of the carriage, she swept away the arrogant appearance on the carriage.
In its place, there is a body of luxury, and a head raised high.
Cao Lin can be arrogant in front of Yang Qi, and even has some little daughter posture.
But in front of outsiders, she has always maintained the majesty of a noble lady.
After entering the Yang Mansion.
Cao Lin asked the maid to take the first awakening to go down to rest first.
She accompanied Yang Qi and entered the main hall of Yang's mansion together, and asked Lao Yang and She Saihua to say goodbye.
Cao Lin had already sent someone back to the house to report the news of Yang Qi's return.
So after Yang Qi arrived at the main hall in the mansion.
The people of the Yang family in Daizhou basically gathered together.
Yang Qi saluted everyone one after another.
"The child has met his father, his mother, and his eldest sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, and fifth sister-in-law."
Lao Yang nodded stiffly, glanced at Yang Qi with a complicated expression, and then left.
Obviously, Yang Hong's mouth didn't open the door, and he had already told Lao Yang everything he knew about Yang Qi.
The complexity of Lao Yang's heart now is comparable to a mess of threads.
He really didn't know how to face his son.
The situation in Lao Yang's heart, She Saihua understands.
She also comforted Lao Yang, but Lao Yang never passed the level in her heart.
In the face of many things, Lao Yang is stubborn, unless he figures it out himself, it is useless to persuade anyone.
Lao Yang left.
She Saihua shook her head and sighed, then said to Yang Qi with a smile: "I have been out for a few months, I have lost weight, darkened, and grown taller." Come to my mother. ”
