The fourth volume of the opening of the emperor's prosperous era chapter forty-one

The exclusive business of the former white sugar is too eye-catching, although the white sugar has been announced, but the huge profits have made many people slanderous, and they want to find out the secrets in every possible way.

After Sun Qing and others moved to the island, although the possibility of leaking secrets was greatly reduced, however, with the unification of the whole country by the Great Sui, there were more and more merchants trading overseas, and the excuse that the sugar was shipped from overseas also made more and more people suspicious, and Yang Yong had no choice but to order Sun Qing to give up the monopoly on the manufacture of white sugar and leak the manufacturing method.

As soon as the sugar manufacturing method was leaked, many merchants found that the unattainable snow sugar was originally made of gray and non-slippery sucrose, and all of a sudden, the merchants who produced white sugar flocked to it, but although the process of producing white sugar was simple, not everyone could do a good job, and the quality was inevitably uneven.

At the beginning, everyone naturally made money, a year later, the price of white sugar plummeted, many small businesses and poor quality merchants were unable to survive, a few years later, only more than a dozen businesses producing white sugar remained, forming a certain monopoly, and the price rose a lot.

When the Agricultural College was first established, no one cared about the ministers in the DPRK and China, and after a few years of getting rich, although many people wanted to get involved, they were all rejected by Yang Yong, and now there is a stable high income of the Agricultural College, so naturally there is no need to keep the sugar business in their hands, causing the root cause, Yang Yong does not believe that Sun Qing and others have moved to Taiwan and there are still people who can track it down.

This year, there is no profit provided by Sugar Island, and it coincides with the construction of a textile factory in Luoyang by the Agricultural College, and life is inevitably a little tighter, but. Even if it is insufficient, you can use the savings of the previous East Palace, and the income of next year will reach more than three million yuan, Yang Yong has already considered how to spend so much money.

After Yun Dingxing's report, Yang Yong was in a happy mood and said, "Yun Aiqing, there is nothing else, you can go and meet Yun Liang and a few grandchildren." ”

Yun Meier has three children, and the eldest Yang Yan is still the eldest son.

In the future, this eldest son is likely to become the third emperor of the Great Sui, and at that time, the Yun family will naturally soar. Because of this, Yun Dingxing is willing to serve as the dean of the College of Agriculture all these years. Without regrets, he contributed most of the money he had accumulated to the East Palace, and when he heard that he could go to see his daughter and several grandsons, Yun Dingxing immediately cracked a smile on his face: "Yes." Thank you, Your Highness, Wechen retires! ”

Not long after Yun Dingxing went down, Lu Mulin hurriedly came up and said, "Your Highness, General Shi is back." ”

Yang Yong's face was happy: "So fast, good, when will he enter the city, the palace will personally greet him." ”

Lu Mulin was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "No, Your Highness is a king." Shi Wansui's greatest contribution should not be greeted by His Royal Highness, otherwise I am afraid that he will have to give Yu Shi a handle to catch the bullet. ”

Since Yang Su's death, the Imperial Historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory has changed several positions. The successor Imperial Doctor did not dare to oppose the East Palace as boldly as Yang Su, but. The Imperial Historical Observatory is instinctively a corrective institution, and if the crown prince violates the etiquette law, the Imperial Historical Observatory will not turn a blind eye.

Hearing Lu Mulin's persuasion, Yang Yong had to dispel his thoughts: "Okay, then let him come by himself." ”、

Yang Yong was so excited to hear the news of Shi Wansui, because Shi Wansui had just put down the rebellion of the Qiang people in Nanning and entered Beijing to reward

.]|Queensland (ruled in the western suburbs of Kunming City, Yunnan Province, Ma Street is subjugated, still in charge of the entire Nanning, for the court sent to the south of the officials arbitrarily beat and scold, and even often have officials missing, so that Nanning has become a place for officials to talk about the tiger, no one wants to go to Nanning to take office, Nanning is nominally a territory of the court, but it has become an independent kingdom of the Qiang people

Not only that, but also under the pretext of Nanning's poverty, every year to the court to ask for a large sum of money to support the army, once the court did not allow or give less, Hui let his subordinates enter the nearby counties to kill and rob, all kinds of evil, so that the nearby counties and counties complained, until the court allocated money and food, Wei ordered his Qiang soldiers to retreat into Nanning.

+:.Ling, the Qiang soldiers under his command are brave and good at fighting, familiar with the terrain, if the court sends fewer troops, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the mountainous area, if more troops are sent, not only can the troops not be deployed, but also the logistics are difficult to maintain.

Last year, the court finally could not tolerate the Nanning, cut off the food and salary of Nanning, and the court immediately erected a counter-flag, sent troops to attack the city and plundered the land, and the court had to send troops and horses to besiege, but the court was shocked, after the army was dispatched, the Qiang people won several games in a row, and the Sui army did not

The grain rang, and tens of thousands of troops were lost, and the various ethnic minorities who raised troops against the Sui Dynasty were also stupid.

When the news reached the capital, it was already the end of last year, and when he heard the news of the defeat in Nanning, Yang Jian was furious, and demoted several failed generals and killed them, and transferred Shi Wansui from Yizhou to Qianqian.

After last year's defeat, the court was ready to fight for a long time, striving to drag the Wei out of fatigue and poverty within a few years, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop.

It's just that after Shi Wansui arrived in Nanning, he did not encircle and suppress the Qiang people in accordance with the method of protracted war in the court, but adopted a quick and decisive method, and he personally led his troops through Dragonfly River (now Yunnan Dayao), Nongdong (now Yao'anbei, Yunnan), Xiaobo Lane, and Da Bolong (both of which are in the southeast of Xiaguan, Yunnan), into Nanning, and invaded from behind the Qian.

To be transferred, a small number of troops guarded by the dangerous place were broken by Shi Wansui, and finally forced the decisive battle of the Qiang, more than 30 tribes of the Southern Qiang tribe, more than 2 people were captured, the Qiang were terrified, and the Qiang was forced to surrender again. Offering jewelry, expressing willingness to listen to constraints, and carving stone inscriptions, praising the saintly virtues of the Sui pilgrimage.

At the east gate of the capital, Lu Kai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, led dozens of officials to stand in the cold wind and stretched their necks to look ahead, a cloud of smoke and dust rose in the distance, and a rumbling sound of horses' hooves came, and an official said in a low voice: "It's finally here." ”

As soon as the official's words fell, a team of flying flags appeared in front of everyone, and hundreds of black-clothed and black-armored Great Sui elite soldiers galloped towards the city gate, and among them was a general in his thirties.

"Phew." When the cavalry came to the vicinity of the city gate, they shouted, stopped their horses, and suddenly the wind and snow surged, and a stream of muddy water rushed straight towards Lu Kai and the other officials who greeted them, and everyone couldn't dodge, and suddenly their faces and bodies were covered with a little mud.

"Ha, ha, ha." Seeing these officials so embarrassed, Shi Wansui and his own soldiers laughed.

Although I don't know if Shi Wansui and these pro-soldiers did this on purpose, they just laughed so loudly, Lu Kai and the officials who greeted him were still furious, but this time Shi Wansui returned to Beijing, he returned with military merits, and the court was about to reward his merits, Lu Kai had to hold back his anger and said to Shi Wansui: "Congratulations on the triumphant return of the general!" ”

Shi Wansui's face was gloomy, and he snorted, and said, "Just you people to greet General Ben!" ”

Lu Kai was stunned for a moment, although Shi Wansui returned with great achievements, but the two were of the same grade, as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he generally only needed to welcome people at the level of the prince and above to return to Beijing, and now the court sent him to greet Shi Wansui It was an exception, but he didn't expect Shi Wansui to have few officials.

"The specification for greeting the general is that His Majesty personally decrees, if the general has any dissatisfaction, just play it to Your Majesty." Lu Kai stabbed coldly.

Of course, Shi Wansui didn't dare to question the emperor, so he had to say with a cold face: "Since it is Your Majesty's intention, then forget it, enter the city!" ”

"Slow, General, Your Majesty's edict asked the General to bring the leader of the Qiang tribe into Beijing, I don't know who Hui is, and I also ask General Shi to hand over the person to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will receive you."

+. In front of Shi Wansui, he tried his best to show his regret, and after a sycophant, he told him that if he was escorted into Beijing, he would inevitably die, and Shi Wansui would also end up with "all the birds, and the good bow is hidden." ".

Shi Wansui listened to the words of Hui, and actually released him seriously, but he released Wei privately, and the closer he got to the capital, the more empty his heart became, just now he wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble and confuse the matter of Wei, but he didn't expect Lu Kai to be unfazed, but instead carried out the emperor, so that Shi Wansui could not make trouble.

It's just that Hui didn't come at all, where could Shi Wansui get it, so he had to simply say goodbye, and said: "Hui is still the leader of the rebels, how can I hand it over to you, this general has to see the emperor first." ”

Lu Kai was about to say more, when an official pulled Lu Kai's official robe, and Lu Kai knew something was wrong: "Okay, please also ask the general to follow behind my official and enter the palace to see the emperor diligently." ”

"No need, General Ben knows the way and is one step ahead." Shi Wansui and Lu Kai did not get off the horse when they spoke, and after speaking, their legs lightly knocked on the horse's belly, the horse's hooves sounded, and hundreds of horses started at the same time, and the muddy water splashed everywhere, pouring everyone all over.

"Bahu, it's too domineering, if you win the battle, you can treat the court officials like this, then where is the law of the country, this official must play to the emperor tomorrow, and impeach Shi Banzai." An official said indignantly.
