Emperor Yang Guang of Sui's eyes lit up, this is a way. For a small tribal leader like Tong Ye Hu, it is also an honor to have an official position in the Great Sui, and more importantly, Tong Ye Hu can be left in Chang'an in a legitimate manner, so that the battle between Shekui and Chu Luo Khan will have a longer time. Yang Guang nodded and said, "Yang Chong, don't worry about this matter, talk about your means of economic encroachment on the Western Regions." ”

Yang Chong replied respectfully, "Yes." According to what Weichen saw in the Western Regions, even if Gaochang and other countries had fertile land, it was still quite difficult to supply themselves and the Western Turks. We can first implement control and embargo on strategic materials such as grain and iron tools, and only when the government comes forward can we exchange the good horses from the Western Regions, and secondly, encourage the people to import cotton, wool, wine and other materials from Gaochang and other places, so as to lure the local scholars and merchants to compete for profits with the state. ”

Yang Chong nodded, and Yang Guang, who was deeply restrained by the gate valve, naturally knew the taste and consequences, and said approvingly: "The idea is good, and then what?" ”

Yang Chong said without hesitation: "Use all kinds of reasons to advance from Yiwu City and end it one country at a time." ”

Yang Guang snorted coldly and said, "Don't play tricks, what I am asking is how to turn a country into a county." ”

Yang Chongyuan wanted to avoid this detail, but was forced by Yang Guang, so he had to reply: "Every time a country is destroyed, the king will be moved to Chang'an, and the nobles will be moved to other places, and they will be under military management for three years; After the establishment of the county, they fabricated household registrations in the local area, divided fields or grasslands according to people, divided commercial registrations into residences, and recruited troops and other matters were the same as those in the Central Plains. ”

Yang Chong's idea was completely out of the framework of using razing to control razing, so that Yang Guang couldn't judge the good or bad for a while, Yang Xiong had been in politics for many years and had rich experience, so he immediately came up with an idea for Yang Guang: "Saint, this is not a temporary matter anyway, let Yang Chong think about it again, but the first city in the Western Regions can be handed over to Yang Chong to try." ”

Yang Guangguang said happily: "What Brother Wang said is very true. ”

Yang Chong hurriedly retreated, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yang Chong, I heard a saying that you killed people in Pei's Mansion for the benefit of some people, deliberately provoking a fight between me and the five surnames and seven hopes?" ”

The famous family really made an extraordinary move, and anything can be explained from a different angle, Yang Chong thought about it, took out the jade pendant given by Cui Hongdu from his chest, and handed it to Yang Xiong, the king of Guan. The Cui family's jade pendant has a unique mark, and everyone in the powerful knows it, Yang Xiong was stunned, walked a few steps forward, and handed it to Yang Guang, Yang Guangzai carefully read it and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

Yang Chong told the story of the red flower set, lowered his head and said: "The jade pendant was given to me by Cui Hongdu, the head of the Cui family, if I really have this heart, I will not persuade the Cui family master to go to Chang'an, and the Cui family master will not give me this jade pendant." ”

Yang Xiong and Cui Hongdu have met in Chang'an, Cui Hongdu's body has improved greatly under Sun Simiao's conditioning, and his attitude towards Yang Guang has also changed. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty didn't think that Yang Chong would deceive himself in this matter, Cui Hongdu's piece of jade Yang Guang had seen, as long as he asked Cui Hongdu, he would know whether it was true or false, Yang Chong was such a smart person, it was impossible for him to be so confused.

Yang Guang's attitude improved greatly, comforted Yang Chong a few words, and instructed Yang Chongming to visit Cui Hongdu the day after tomorrow, so that Yang Chong followed Yang Xiong out of the palace; In the council hall, Gao Gong, Yang Da and others were still waiting, and Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, said that the Holy Son of Heaven had understood everything, and everyone dispersed. When they left the palace, the sky was full of stars, and there were only patrolling soldiers on the street under the curfew, and Yang Chong and Qu Tugai did not have a waist card for night walking, so they had to take Wei Fusi's carriage home.

The carriage ran north along Suzaku Avenue, and when it approached the metropolis, the carriage turned right, and before it went far, it saw that the two squares on the left and right of the street were brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and it seemed to be more lively than in the daytime; Without waiting for Wei Fusi's orders, the carriage turned into one of the squares and stopped in front of a courtyard. Wei Fusi smiled and said, "I have a date with a few friends, let's go in and sit for a while, say hello and leave." ”

Qu Tugai and Yang Chong looked at each other, both of them were labeled people, and their first thought was whether it was suitable or not. Wei Fusi explained: "This is the Jinju Academy in Hebei, and Liu Xuan, a doctor of Taixue, has students from Hebei who sit in the evening. If you don't get through the door, you will offend a group of people by spreading the word. ”

Yang Chong can only sigh that life is full of pits, this place is Xuanyang Fang, and the Pingkang Fang and Chongren Fang are all "to make trouble", collectively known as the three squares in the north. Because it is close to the Shangshu Provincial Bureau, it is a gathering place for the officials, electors and officials of other provinces in Beijing, and the Jinjuan Institute is the office of the local town in Beijing, Liu Xuan is a famous Confucian in the world, and he was sent to Yizhou because he was unwilling to serve Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and was sent to Yizhou during the opening of the emperor's tent, and became a guard in the tent of the king of Shu, and after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, it was reused. After the accident in Bingzhou, the great Confucian Kong Yingda said righteously, Yang Chong only knew the relationship between his master Zhuge He and Kong Yingda's teacher Liu Zhuo, Liu Xuan and Liu Zhuo were close friends of the same class, and Yang Chong would be rude if he didn't go in to meet him.

Qu Tugai was just a little unhappy to be set up by Wei Fusi, Qu Tugai was not Yang Chong, and he knew that Liu Xuan's first dismissal was planted in the hands of Wei Fusi's father, Wei Shikang, and Wei Fusi pulled the two of them, but it was just a strong momentum. As for who he saw, Qu Tugai held the idea that he was not afraid of the shadow, and he didn't care at all; After Wei Fusi reported his name, the three of them were ushered into a large room, which was the time of activity.

More than a dozen people were commenting on the poems, Wei Fusi and Qu Tugai kept greeting each other, Yang Chong knew only Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda immediately called Yang Chong over and introduced him to Liu Xuan, who was in the right position, Liu Xuan was thin and elegant, nodded and said: "Zhuge River can have such a successor, Yu Wenkai has spent a lot of thought. Yang Chong, Moxue used to be a prominent study, and the old man hopes that you can recreate your brilliance. ”

All of you here are well-educated people, most of them shake their heads in their hearts, Liu Xuan is really not sophisticated, if Moxue is useful, it will not be weak, like the way of Lao Zhuang, the five elements of yin and yang, vertical and horizontal plotting, and then it is not a prominent learning, there are generations of heirs, and there will be a few outstanding people in a few decades, what about Moxue? Since the Han Dynasty, there has not even been a celebrity. Yang Chong didn't think it was strange, and respectfully agreed, which made Liu Xuan very satisfied.

Wei Fusi and Qu Tugai sat on Liu Xuan's left and right, and the two people next to Kong Yingda did not give Yang Chong a place at all, but fortunately, a scribe opposite asked Yang Chong to go and sit down. Kong Yingda breathed a sigh of relief and told Yang Chong that it was Cui Hongsheng's son Cui Chuzhi, and now he is a subordinate reporter; Cui Chuzhi and Kong Yingda are the same age, the same elegant and heroic, with a long beard, and their faces are somewhat similar to Cui Hongsheng's brothers.

What everyone is commenting on is a poem brought by Wang Shenli: "There is no structure between the rocks, and the valley is extremely secluded." The leaves fall and the autumn nest is different, and the cloud is deep on the stone road. Early plum fragrant wild path, Qingzhang ringing Qiu Qin. Unique late guests, stay in the heart of Fangdu. ”

The poem is written well, Wang Shenli is the son-in-law of the Jiangnan Wang family, handsome and high-spirited, he refused to give Yang Chongtian a seat just now, just now he looked down on this petty official who was said to be a craftsman. Sitting on the other side of Kong Yingda was Du Jingda, the eldest son of Chengfeng Lang Du Yan, Du Jingda saw that Cui Chuzhi had relieved Yang Chong, and he was unwilling, and proposed: "Yang Chong has just returned from the Western Regions with a thousand miles of horses, and Xiang Bi has a lot of emotion in his heart, how about we ask him to make a poem?" ”
