Chapter 67: Turmoil

Yu Wenkai was touched by the worry about the granary, starting from Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, the Great Sui has built six granaries, namely Zhengzhou Xingluo Cang, Luoyang Huiluo Cang, Jijun Liyang Cang, Guanzhong Guangtong Cang, Hebei Heyang Cang, Shaanzhou Changping Cang. Each granary is a city, with countless grain storages, but when discussing with Zhuge Ying today, Zhuge Ying put forward a point of view, how much grain are there among the people in such large-scale storage?

Yu Wenkai and Zhuge Ying are not inexperienced officials, and they naturally know that even if there is food among the people, it is concentrated in the hands of large and small scholars, and the ordinary people's families are at most to maintain a food and clothing, and every piece of food is calculated to be stumbling, hoping to support the harvest season of the second year. Drying up and fishing touched Yu Wenkai's mind and made him a little suspicious of the current way of reserve.

Yu Wenkai was struggling, the servant came to report, Wei Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, arrived, Yu Wenkai hurriedly got up and welcomed Wei Xuan into the living room; Wei Xuan is still nominally Yu Wenkai's boss now, and the two meet in the Ministry of Industry every day, and Wei Xuan's visit at this moment should be urgent. Wei Xuan smiled with a hint of worry, took the tea made by Yu Wenkai and asked, "I heard that Yang Chong has now made a kind of fragrant pancreas, which sells well in the market?" ”

Yu Wenkai was very strange, how did Wei Xuan inquire about this, and replied with a smile: "We entered a hundred yuan to Luoyang, and it was sold out in three days." ”

Wei Xuan smelled the fragrance of tea, and asked again: "You haven't thought about dedicating the workshop to the imperial court?" Today, Princess Leping went to see the Son of Heaven, as if talking about this matter, saying that Yang Chong only wanted to make money, and there was no king in his heart, so such a good thing should be handed over to the royal family. ”

Yu Wenkai shook his head amusedly and asked Wei Xuan, "Lord Shangshu has used the fragrant pancreas of the Western Regions, right?" You know it when you look at it. ”

Yu Wenkai asked Yu Wensui to take a piece of Procter & Gamble Fragrant Pancreas, and asked Wei Xuan to try to wash his hands, Wei Xuan immediately reacted: "The feel of this fragrant pancreas seems to be much worse than that of the Western Regions?" ”

Yu Wenkai nodded and said: "Yang Chong is not a genius, this is something he just developed, in my eyes it is a semi-finished product, but for people who have never used fragrant pancreas, it should be not bad." Princess Leping is now quietly thinking about it, if the Son of Heaven has this idea, I can write to Yang Chong to talk about it, but in order to open this workshop, Yang Chong did borrow 20,000 yuan from Louguan. ”

Wei Xuan hurriedly stopped Yu Wenkai, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was in the world, so he wouldn't care about a small workshop, if Yang Guang wanted pancreas, Yang Chong would provide as much as he wanted. Yang Guang asked Wei Xuan to come, in fact, he wanted to ask, can this workshop be given to Princess Leping, but Wei Xuan understood, Yang Chong is now making a semi-finished product for sale, and it is not a bad thing for someone to take over, provided that Louguan's debt is carried over, what is the concept of 20,000 yuan, and can buy half of the county seat of a medium-sized county, which is too far from what Princess Leping thought.

Wei Xuan is a real person, and he knows that in the face of interests, Yang Chong cannot give it away for nothing; Taking a step back, even if Yang Chong agrees to give it away for nothing, if the matter is leaked out, the royal family and the people will compete for profit, which will be a fatal blow to the reputation of the royal family, which is also something that Yang Guang, the son of heaven, will never approve. Wei Xuan finally reacted at this time, why did Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty say nothing when he was talking about this matter, and the other important ministers did not say a word, and Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, did not express his position, he must have known the mystery.

For the sake of stability, Wei Xuan still took a piece of Procter & Gamble's fragrant pancreas back to restore his life, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui knew it as soon as he heard it, and turned his attention to several important ministers, and General Yiwei stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, I think the ministers have seen it, and this matter should be stopped." ”

If it were Pei Yun, Yu Shinan and others, they would definitely have to say the reason for giving up, but they came to protect the child and won the trust of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and they didn't even bother to make up the reason, so they just said that they would give up, so that the others would not be able to express their position. Yang Guang was very relieved in his heart, what is a good subordinate, that is, when you need him to carry the pot, you don't need to take the initiative to rush up and carry a pot completely, leaving no trouble.

The matter of Procter & Gamble is obviously a revenge that the king of Qi wants to plan, but Yang Guang can't be angry at all now, and Yang Hui, the king of Qi, takes the initiative to relieve the king's worries, which is loyalty and filial piety; Yang Chong's refusal to give it is to be scrupulous and selfless. Princess Leping is the only sister who is still in contact with her, and she is also her own faΓ§ade, even if she knows that this matter is unreasonable, she can only try; But as soon as Laihu'er said this, he took all the responsibility, and no matter what he said in the future, there was a reason.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty thought about it, and said to Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Give Yang Chong a word, a workshop is nothing, as long as he designs another equipment for me within a month, this matter will be over, and Princess Leping will have me settled." ”

Yang Guang's mentality is very correct, isn't Yang Chong proficient in Gewu? It doesn't matter if you make money, but you can't let me come forward in vain; Duan Wenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, the three Yuwen Kai brothers are all top masters in mechanics, as long as the word is passed down, there will definitely be a masterpiece within a month. Sure enough, Duan Wenzhen's letter had only been gone for more than half a month, and Duhu sent Shi Daqian to send a craftsman and a wooden box, saying that Yang Chong had designed a horseshoe for the war horse.

There are four horseshoes in the wooden box, Shi Daqian explained: "The hooves of the war horse and the ground contact layer has hard corners, it is easy to fall off, nailing the horseshoe not only delays the wear of the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves more solid to grasp the ground, which is very helpful for the army to walk in the desert in the future, the Gobi is full of sand and gravel, with the horseshoe is not difficult to walk." ”

Duan Wenzhen asked the craftsman to nail a horseshoe to a war horse, looked at it carefully, and sighed: "It's a very simple thing, but most people can't think of it, I heard that there is a kind of horseshoe astringency in the Western Regions, and it is probably this thing." You go back and tell Zhao Guogong, you can't let outsiders know about it, I will immediately tell the Holy Son of Heaven and place an order to the armory. ”

When Yang Guang saw the war horse with the horse's shoe, he couldn't help laughing, and asked the military department to immediately notify Duhu to produce 400,000 first, and rewarded Yang Chong with ten taels of gold. Yang Guang turned around and sent someone to tell Princess Leping that the matter of Procter & Gamble should not be mentioned again, but in order to make up for his sister, Yang Guang decided to let Princess Leping's son-in-law Li Min serve as Wei Weiqing, one of the nine temples.

Li Min Zi Shusheng, the grandson of Li Yuan and the son of Li Chong, followed Emperor Wen to Li Chong's death and raised Li Min in the palace. When Princess Leping chose a son-in-law for her daughter, she valued Li Min from the Li family in Longxi, heroic and beautiful, not only good at riding and shooting, but also capable of singing and dancing strings.

Later, Princess Leping set up a bureau to seek officials for Li Min, and Emperor Wen of Sui awarded Li Min Zhuguo and Zuo Qianniu; Li Min then successively served as the assassin of Feng, Jin, Hua, and Qishuzhou, and most of them did not take up their posts, but often stayed in Beijing, traveled to and from the palace, and the attendants feasted, but the rewards were more than the heroes. This decision made by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was another signal in the eyes of Yang Hui, the king of Qi, and Li Hun, the general.

After Li Hun talked with Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, he sent a letter to the clan, and the current patriarch of the family is Li Yun, the son of Li Hun's eldest brother Li Xuan, who worshiped his grandfather Li Mu as a child with the merits of his grandfather Li Mu, and later became a grandson. Li Hun once asked his nephew Li Shanheng to assassinate Li Yun, although in the end Li Hun and Li Shanheng got out of the matter, but Li Yun took the opportunity to kill another cousin Li Qutan who offended him; The uncle and nephew can be described as enemies.

Because of this, the status of the Li family in Longxi in the imperial court has plummeted over the years, and no one is in a high position except for Li Hun, so Li Min's appointment made Li Hun see hope, and sent a letter to Li Yun, hoping that the clan could seize the opportunity and send more people to help Yang Hui, the king of Qi. In the letter, Li Hun explained his views on the future, believing that it was only a matter of time before Yang Yong, the king of Qi, ascended to the throne of the crown prince.
