339 Great Cause for five years
The streamer is like a car, and it passes for years in an instant.
In the late spring of March, the flowers in the Grand View Garden are vibrant, and Su You and Lai Yanbei wander in it, happy and forget their worries.
So far, Su You has been to Yangzhou as the southeast economic envoy for more than a year.
In the past year or so, Su You has contributed nearly 15 million yuan of commercial taxes to Yang Guang, with an average of more than one million yuan per month, and the wealth flowing in Yangzhou City is even more than ten times.
During the year, more than 50 trading companies came to Yangzhou from all over the country to pan for gold, more than 20 ships engaged in overseas business, and countless floating people from nearby counties came to Yangzhou to work.
In this year, Bi Yuntao realized his dreamland, and he opened milk ice shops all over the counties in the south of the Yangtze River; In this year, Qingjing also realized her dreamland, and she became the leading chef in Yangzhou City; During the year, Pisces also showed himself for the Seven Seas Trading Company, and was favored by Aojing for this
In just one year, Yangzhou has become the most dynamic metropolis and a prosperous place that the people of all counties dream of,——.
During this year, many major events naturally happened in the imperial court.
When Yang Guang received the first batch of five million business taxes from Su You in June last year, he launched a war of annihilation against Tuyuhun, in which Yuwen Chengdu Pei Yuanqing and Xue Shixiong Luo Yi and others became the most dazzling new stars in the army.
Several old guys such as Ling Yuanshou, Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the military department, and Yang Yichen, the servant of the imperial servant, did nothing, but this was not the worst, because there were many famous generals who were killed by the Tuyuhun people in this battle, such as Zhang Dinghe, the general of the Tunwei guard, and Liang Mo, the doctor of Zuo Guanglu
In September, Yang Guang ordered Wei Qing Liu Quan to go out of Yiwu Road, so the Great Sui officially declared war on Yiwu, and also opened the prelude to the first western tour. This tour to the west was the most arduous of all Yang Guang's tours, full of difficulties and obstacles.
The road is not smooth, but the mountain road is rugged, and the wind and snow are merciless.
With great determination, Yang Guang walked to the hinterland of the Tuyuhun people, Bayan Mountain, countless soldiers with the army froze to death, and at the same time, Yang Guang's sister Princess Leping also died, and the price of this trip was not small.
Effort always pays off.
As a result, Yang Guang gained a large area of territory and expanded four counties at once, surpassing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at least in terms of territory.
The emperor who crossed on foot in such a difficult environment, Yang Guang had no ancients before him, and no one after him.
It wasn't until last month that Yang Guang finally returned to the long-lost Eastern Capital, and the general Changsun Sheng passed away after seeing him for the last time.
Yang Guang bid farewell to Changsun Sheng in grief, and immediately began to investigate the two major families of Yuanshou and Zhang Jin.
There was no suspense in the result, Zhang Jin's family was beheaded and raided because of rebellion, and Yuan Shou simply handed in his resignation and waited for the summons of Dali Temple tremblingly
Zhang Heng, the county guard of Jiangdu County, who had finished reading the Di newspaper, became uneasy, and Su You was single-mindedly happy.
After returning to the mansion from the Grand View Garden, Su You and Lai Yanbei had just finished cleaning their faces, and they heard that someone was visiting. Come in, please? ”
Lai Yanbei looked at Su You with some puzzlement and asked, "Which trading company is coming to settle in Yangzhou?" ”
"No, go, come with me to meet them." Su You handed the famous thorn to Lai Yanbei and said with a smile.
When he came to Yanbei to hear him say this, he was even more confused, and when he read the post, he suddenly said, "Hou Junji, it has been two years since he left the Great Sui." ”
"Speaking of his voyage, I also have credit, I don't know if he is grateful to me or resentful of me." As Su You spoke, he walked to the door side by side with Lai Yanbei.
At this time, Hou Junji was dressed in military uniform, which could be described as majestic, and the person standing next to him was Hu Shangbad; Hou Junji and Bade saw that Su You and his wife came out, so they hurriedly grabbed the first few and bowed to Su You.
Su You hurriedly stopped them and said, "It's all old friends, so there's no need to be polite." Junji, congratulations on your triumphant return; Bard, welcome to the Great Sui again. ”
"I heard just now that Su Hengbo was a third-grade master, I thought I met someone with the same name, and the speed of your addition to the official really makes me envious and jealous." After Hou Junji said this to Su You, he turned to Yanbei again, "Yanbei, you married a good man." ”
Lai Yanbei smiled and nodded, and said, "Swift will also be proud of you." ”
After greetings, Su You and his wife led the two to the living room.
After the guests were seated, Su You personally served tea to Hou Junji and Bud, and then talked about the story of the farewell.
It turned out that after a year's voyage, the fleet did not reach Bud's homeland of Eastern Rome, because the materials on their ships were almost sold halfway through, and Bard was at best a trader, and he did not want the Great Sui people to go to his homeland to inquire about his details.
Hou Junji and other hundreds of soldiers, after getting on the ship, the most important thing to overcome is the problem of water and soil adaptation, along the way, the crew died for various reasons, and the rest of the people became confused, and there was only one thought in their hearts - to go home.
In desperation, since June last year, Hou Junji has embarked on the journey home.
At this time, when I arrived in Yangzhou, my heart was more of the joy of the rest of my life.
Su You naturally only appreciated and admired the various hardships experienced by Hou Junji and others, and thought that since they had not arrived in Rome, wouldn't the books he had said before about making glass be in vain? Then he frowned and asked Bard, "Do you remember the promise you made to me?" ”
Bud was still listening to them talk about their separation, how could he have thought that he would be burned so soon? At the moment, I had to bite the bullet and say, "Remember, remember." How can I forget the words of the gentleman? Along the way, I collected dozens of plant seeds and thousands of books for my husband."
Hou Junji immediately nodded in agreement, and immediately led the conversation to the development of Yangzhou.
For the current situation in Yangzhou, Hou Junji and Bard still admire Su You so much, after all, Yangzhou is now very different from two years ago, and when Su You introduced Yangzhou's relaxed investment environment, Bard immediately wanted to stay in Yangzhou.
As for whether he would open a trading company by himself or invest in Nanami, which was controlled by Su You, he did not make a clear statement.
Hou Junji came to visit Su You this time, and what he wanted to know most was obviously Yang Ying's current situation, although he knew that Yang Ying had a large industry in Yangzhou, including the largest Qianzhuang Dongdu Qianzhuang branch, and the monopoly of sugar production.
But what about the status?
Promotion is also like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Yang Ying's current status of not embarrassing or embarrassing has lasted for three or four years, how long will this embarrassment last? Can he go further?
Hou Junji is not a snob, but he has not never thought about his future.
Of course, Su You saw Yang You's situation more clearly than him, but Su You's identity was indeed not suitable for talking about the old master.
After a long conversation, before he knew it was lunch time, Su You ordered someone to come to Yanbei and instruct someone to send a letter to Qingjing, to pick up the wind for Hou Junji and Bade in the largest restaurant in Hangzhou, and invited them to enter the city.
After eating, Bard had dozens of plants and thousands of books delivered to Su You's mansion.
Su You thanked him again and again, and then sent away Hou Junji, who returned to the Eastern Capital to restore his life, and arranged a post house for Bad, who was willing to stay in Yangzhou.
When he got home, the first thing Su You looked at was dozens of packets of plant seeds, and now it was the season to sow seeds.
Each package of plants has a label with a Chinese name on it, and the handwriting is neat, which is not Bard's handwriting, so his so-called personal collection for Su You can be described as untrue, but it doesn't matter.
Su You directly ignored the labels on the package, and when he opened them one by one, they were indeed rare imported products, including sorghum, cucumbers, and cotton
Su You looked at the plant seeds that he knew and those he didn't know, and said happily, "There are so many seeds, I have to play again tomorrow." ”
When he came to Yanbei to see so many seeds, he was naturally very happy, but he couldn't help but feel depressed, "If you can work in the field as fun, I am afraid there is no second one in the world except for you." ”
"Without our hard work, how can we build the Grand View Garden into the first park in the world?" Su You pursed his lips and distinguished.
"Your appetite is too big, isn't it? Do you really want to build a Golden Valley Garden, a dragon garden like this? Aren't you afraid of committing the reverse scales of your majesty? Lai Yanbei shook his head, of course he knew that Su You was just talking.
When did Su You become competitive?
Su You only shook his head and smiled when he heard Yanbei's words, and said, "You, you, you don't know politics too much, and the people who are emperors hate the most are those Qingliu people." ”
"What do you mean?"
Su You wrapped up those seeds and said, "The Great Dao is wasted, there is benevolence and righteousness; Wisdom comes out, and there is great hypocrisy; Six relatives are not in harmony, and there is filial piety; The country is in turmoil, and there are loyal ministers. ”
"Why are you reciting the Tao Te Ching for me?"
"What Lao Tzu said makes sense, there is a clear name than Gan, and only then can there be the mediocrity of the king; There is the injustice of Qu Zi, and only then can King Chu Huai be unwise; On the contrary, the extravagant Guan Zhong created the overlord Qi Huangong, and the beautiful Zhao Wu created the "Su You said as he pulled Lai Yanbei into his arms, and his hand dishonestly began to caress her belly through the skirt.
"You always have something to say, the absurd and unreasonable attitude to life is what you say." Lai Yanbei opened Su You's hand.
Su You persistently put his hand on her lower abdomen again, and said with a smile, "I'll touch our child."
The two were laughing in the room, but there was a sound of deliberately heavy footsteps at the door.
Lai Yanbei escaped from Su You's embrace and quickly sorted out his clothes, Su You also stood up, and after tidying up his clothes, he opened the door.
"What?"
"The court's chamberlain came to deliver a message to Mr., it seems that he wants him to return to the Eastern Capital."
Su You nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, it seems that there is no chance to plant flowers in the field this year
