Sitting in the council hall, Wei Xuan felt a rare feeling of depression, during this time, Wei Xuan was indeed unhappy everywhere. Jiao Jun walked around the hotel with the image for a few days, and when the lights were on, he passed, and finally someone recognized that it was Tu Shishang, the brother of Dou Cong of the Fufeng Dou family. Jiao Jun found the Dou family, and Dou Cong said that Tu Shishang went to Jiangnan ten days ago, and he didn't believe that Tu Shishang was still in Chang'an; There was no evidence, even Wei Xuan didn't dare to search the house, and the clue was broken again.

After Cao Zheng's death, Zhou Qian investigated Abu, a Kangguo man who came to Chang'an with a sweaty BMW, but there was also no result; As for the copied items, as Xu Kang said, there is no clue at all. In the torment, Changsun Sheng finally couldn't resist fate, died with hatred, and left a letter on his deathbed, suggesting that he should hand over Sui Hantang to Pei Ju; Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, actually adopted it, but just told Pei Ju to hand over all the matters of receiving guests to the Ministry of Rites and deal with the affairs of the Sui Han Hall with peace of mind.

Wei Xuan, as the local person in charge of Chang'an, is the same as Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is worried that the coming of various countries will cause countless rights and wrongs in Chang'an and cause trouble for himself. Yang Wensi asked people to send a piece of paper to each minister, which was the plan handed over by the reception team led by Yang Chong, Yang Wensi said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites accepted some of Pei Gong's ideas, and according to the situation in Chang'an, it left us a lot of flexibility, a total of ten, we will discuss them one by one." ”

Yang Chong first proposed the reception level, the king came to the dynasty to set up a temporary post house, one country and one museum; The arrangement of important ministers to come to the court was in the original post house in Chang'an; The messengers of the merchants' representatives were arranged at the Pawn Office. Everyone has no opinion on this, what level you come from, what treatment I give, everyone knows in their hearts.

Secondly, Yang Chong retained Pei Ju's idea, but made restrictions, singing and dancing performances, free food and drink are only allowed on Zhuque Street, Chang'an, Wannian two counties will be on both sides of each patrol shop on the left and right, each built five temporary promenade wine shops, a total of 120. It's just that Yang Chong's means are better than Pei Ju's, and he is not ready to use the name of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to forcibly expropriate and expropriate, but suggests that the participating hotels can play their own signboards, and the Ministry of Rites had better make a judgment, and the top 100 will be marked on the Chang'an tour map on Zhuque Street.

Chang'an play map is the third, that is, in each of the twelve patrol shops erect a map, indicating what are the interesting places in the neighborhood near the patrol shop, Chang'an, Wannian two counties have made it clear that they are willing to pay for the cost of making maps, and will be renewed every year in the future. Yu Shiji was amazed and said: "Yang Shangshu, your Ministry of Rites is not ready to pay for it." There are more than 1,600 restaurants in Chang'an, and only 100 are on the map, and they don't break their heads; Each square can be marked with a landmark building or scenic spot, shop, temples and shops must have a good fight, and the two counties are certainly willing to come forward to deal with it. ”

Gao Gong said with a smile: "Fourth, it's good to hold a polo match, polo is popular in various countries in the Western Regions, and my level of Dasui is not bad, but Yang Chong's appearance is too ugly, and he even asked to sell tickets." ”

Su Wei said: "It's nothing, half of the income from selling tickets is paid to the polo field, so you don't have to worry about the venue, I believe that all families in Chang'an will provide it." It's just that Yang Chong's hand is small, and the team is a little less, so he can send a polo team from the surrounding counties and Liangzhou to make a 64 team, and the elimination system will be eliminated according to the opinion of the Ministry of Rites, a total of 64 games, and the top three will be awarded by the Ministry of Rites, and the bonus will come out of the money from the sale of tickets. ”

Yang Guang waved his hand and said: "The last four games will be held at the Royal Polo Ground, no tickets will be sold, let Yang Chong design the top three prizes first." Su Wei and others understood that Yang Guang wanted to have fun with the people and watch the game by himself, so they recorded it.

The fifth is the tree wrapping silk required by Pei Ju, Yang Chong narrowed down to the various city gates of Chang'an and the scope of Zhuque Street, and promoted Kong Ming lanterns in other places, and Li Zheng was in charge. It's just that the sixth article of setting up a workshop area makes most people not understand, Yang Xuangan explained with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites means that the trade in the Western Regions is concentrated as much as possible, and the establishment of the workshop area is for directional trade, and the location is selected on the bank of the Canglang River in Kunming. ”

All of them here are old foxes, and they know that without Emperor Yang Guang of Sui's nod, Yang Xuangan would not have taken out this one; Gao Gong asked worriedly, "Don't you need to bring it from the forced requisition workshop from other places?" ”

"No, the workshop area is open to both the official and the private, and the land rent is free for 50 years, but the tax is still the same." Yang Xuangan said calmly: "Yuhaizhai has set up two first, one is to produce wooden barrels for wine, and the other is to process jade; The household department planned to build a salt mill there to handle the green salt brought back from the Western Regions; Xiao Zhenzhai is ready to open a fruit wine factory. As long as the central government agrees, the first four workshops of the conference will be able to start, and when the time comes, arrange for merchants and nobles from the Western Regions to visit and attract them to invest; Folk merchant groups and escorts from various countries are located near the workshop area. ”

Pei Ju sighed, this is another means of targeted trade by the Ministry of War, but this time he came forward as the Ministry of Rites; The caravans and convoys were housed in the Workshop District to facilitate trading and negotiation. Su Wei saw that the last four were the regular etiquette process and the gift arrangement required by Emperor Yang of Sui, and he was greatly relieved, the entire budget would only be lower than Zhang Ye's, and it was much lower, and the Ministry of Rites was considered to have done a good deed.

Yu Shiji suddenly said: "Fan Zigai is coming back, he is familiar with the customs of the countries in the Western Regions, otherwise he will be arranged to be in charge of the workshop area." ”

Officialdom is like this, everyone is competing in multiple directions, kicking and punching in the east and punching in the west, Yu Shiji was still appreciating the policy of the Ministry of Rites just now, and in a blink of an eye, he could put forward the constraints on the Ministry of Rites. Only in this way will Yu Shiji be a capable minister and a loyal minister in the eyes of Emperor Yang of Sui, everything is based on the interests of the Great Sui or the emperor, even if he is not selfless, he is definitely a trustworthy courtier.

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly, he had discussed with Hu Shitan and Kong Yingda, and he had been mentally prepared for this piece of fat to break away from his hands; Yang Da frowned and said, "Fan Zigai is upright, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this kind of deceitful business, can you change your choice?" ”

Su Wei immediately understood that Yuhaizhai was the business of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the household department was the emperor's money bag, Yang Da was reminding him that he couldn't let their three workshops lose money in the end, so he suggested: "Now that the general plan has been decided, and Yang Chong has completed his task in the Ministry of Rites, can he be transferred to help Fan Zigai?" ”

Duan Wenzhen immediately answered: "Su Xiang's words are reasonable, it is better to let Yang Chong return to the military department, the workshop area plan itself is part of the directional trade." ”

Yang Guang unceremoniously denied and said: "Yang Chong stays in the Ministry of Rites, and he is responsible for the return of Yushan in Khotan." Xuan Gan, and Yang Chong, now can spend more time on glass development, once he can achieve the same as the glass products in the Western Regions, the imperial court will spend 100,000 yuan to acquire the glass workshop. ”

Everyone was speechless, it was normal for such a glass workshop to earn three or four hundred thousand yuan a year, Yang Guang took away the largest part of Yuhaizhai and Yang Chong's profits in one sentence. The most terrifying thing is that Yang Guang's sentence doesn't know whether it's true or not, maybe it's just a pretext, Yang Guang is actually staring at Pei Ju and the uncertain fate of Sui Hantang.
