Chapter 422 One million grains and grass, four hundred thousand
"Ninety thousand stones of grain and grass, 50,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors, two million horses of silk, more than 3 million copper coins, 30,000 catties of silver, more than 10,000 catties of gold, and many other jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, etc." Yi Feng took the general ledger of property copied by Yang Xiong, and shook his head when he looked at it, in just two years, Yang Liang had already fished out such a big family business, it was simply amazing. And this is definitely not all of Yang Liang's net worth, he must still have a lot of property in Jingshi and other places, and this is just Jingshi's. In addition, because houses, fields, mines, etc. are real estate, it is impossible to move them, so Yang Xiong did not record them at all.
Yang Xiong looked at Yi Feng's silent appearance and was very depressed, when he first saw this statistic, he was so shocked that he was about to jump, what a lot of money it was. Gold, silver, copper, silk satin, etc., add up, there are millions of guan, if you add those jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., plus those fields and houses, etc., it is enough to have tens of millions. Yang Xiong has been in business for many years, and he is a county king, and he doesn't dare to say that he has tens of millions of family properties.
can see Taisun's calm appearance, it seems that the legend that Taisun is one of the ten richest people in the world is not groundless.
In addition, the king of Han also raised almost 30,000 private troops, nearly 10,000 cavalry, more than 20,000 infantry troops, he not only recruited and raised these 30,000 soldiers and horses, but also found more than 40,000 sets of armor, leather armor, iron armor, etc., the old and new are different, the number is considerable. And there are a large number of swords, guns, bows and arrows and other ordnance storage. ”
raised 30,000 horses, and + stored enough ordnance for tens of thousands of people, I have to say that Yang Liang is really extravagant. However, Yi Feng thought that he only occupied a Huai Famine, and raised 100,000 soldiers and horses, but he felt that this was nothing. At most, Yang Liang is bold, but he is a prince. It turned out to control more than 50 prefectures, and Hedong and Hebei were rich. It is also a place for elite soldiers, rich and bold, holding 18 million yuan, raising tens of thousands of private soldiers, and saving tens of thousands of sets of ordnance, it is really not a big deal.
However, now it's all easy. Yi Feng won't be polite to him, does Yang Liang still have to go to court with him in front of the emperor?
"Yang Liang's money, food, soldiers, horses, and equipment were all taken away, as for the houses, manors, fields, mines, workshops, shops. If you can't take it away, you will sell it, and no matter who buys it, it doesn't matter if the price is cheaper. "These things can't be taken away anyway, and it's cheap to keep them, either cheap Yang Yong or cheap Yang Guang, it's better to cheap those rich local tyrants in Hedong, sell them cheaper, and sell them a favor if you get money. Pull point relationship.
Yang Xiong wanted to swallow these industries, but Yi Feng reminded him that the prince was coming soon, and this merger already belonged to Yang Guang. Eat these industries now. I'm afraid that it won't be easy to digest, so it's better to sell it to those local clans in Hedong, these people are all local snakes. As long as they eat it, it doesn't matter if it's Yang Yong or Yang Guang. I'm afraid it's not easy to snatch it out of their mouths again.
Yang Xiong couldn't eat this large piece of real estate, and he always felt pity in his heart. Although Yi Feng had already said that he would give him the carriage market in Hedong, and that he would share Yang Liang's industry with him, he would feel that it was too much. At this time, he took the initiative to propose a plan to Yi Feng to make a fortune.
"There is also a big gold mountain in Taiyuan City."
"Jinshan?" Yi Feng was puzzled, he didn't have the heart to come here to mine, open a gold mine on someone else's territory to dig for gold, how stupid he looked.
Yang Xiong looked around, and then whispered to Yi Feng mysteriously: "There are now millions of stones of grain piled up in the Cangcheng of the Xicheng of Taiyuan Mansion, and in addition, there are 400,000 sets of armor, hundreds of thousands of bundles of arrows, and more than 100,000 knives, guns and spears in the Jinyang Palace. ”
Yi Feng glanced at Yang Xiong and saw that there was a strong look of covetousness in his eyes. He knew that what Yang Xiong said was actually the accumulation of the imperial court in the north over the years, because of the importance of Taiyuan, as the most important war fortress in the north and the gateway to the Central Plains, it was an extremely important strategic city. Therefore, every year, the imperial court transports grain and grass to this place, and transports ordnance as reserves. It is this continuous accumulation of reserves year after year that allows Taiyuan, the most important northern fortress, to have enough grain and grass to supply the city for ten years at any time, as well as a large number of equipment. Storing so much grain and grass equipment is actually not just for Taiyuan City. Taiyuan City is also used as a grain and grass storage and transit station in the north, and most of the grain and grass transported from the Central Plains to the north are stored here first, rather than directly stored in the front line such as Yunshuo and Xin Daiwei in the north, so as not to be captured by the enemy. Especially now, with the Turkic war imminent, the imperial court has been transporting grain and grass equipment to Taiyuan for several years, all in preparation for this war.
Yi Feng actually knew that there were these ordnances, grains and grass stored in Taiyuan City before, but he didn't think about moving these things. Because these are the things of the imperial court, and at the same time they are not only the things of the imperial court, but also the logistical armament of the imperial court and the Turkic war. If there were no reserves of grain and grass in Taiyuan, at least hundreds of thousands of troops in the middle of the war, their grain and grass could only be transported from the more distant Guanzhong and Central Plains regions during the war between the imperial court and the Turks.
Without these food and grass equipment, without these sufficient logistical supplies, it may change a war that could have been won.
There are some things to do, and some things should not be taken. Although Yi Feng intrigued with Yang Yong, Yang Guang, Yang Liang and others, he felt that when facing the Turks, he should still fight together. Especially in this war, Datou Khan has unified the entire Turkic east and west, integrated the entire khanate, and the Central Plains Sui Dynasty to compete for the momentum of a decisive battle, its power is extremely strong, hundreds of thousands of cavalry, this is an extremely important decisive battle, both sides are going all out. Yi Feng felt that he couldn't pull Da Sui's hind legs at this time.
Historically, the Sui Dynasty won this war, and the Datou, which was supposed to unify the Turks, was defeated, and the Turks once again lost the opportunity to rise again, and the Turkic khanates were completely divided, and the khanates were established in the east and west.
Yi Feng didn't want to let the Central Plains Dynasty fall to the Turks in the end, and gave the Turks the reunification that they had been looking forward to for twenty years.
"We can't move that." Although millions of stone of grain and grass and 400,000 sets of battle armor are indeed attractive, these things are easy to wind and cannot be moved.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Yang Xiong's eyes when he heard this reply, but seeing Yi Feng's determined look, he finally nodded, and his eyes were a little clearer, "Your Highness is right, those can't move, I'm confused for a while." ”
"It's good that the king of the county understands." Yi Feng smiled, "Actually, it's not Yang Liang's, it's already quite rich." ”
Compared with the millions of grains and grass and hundreds of thousands of ordnance stored by the imperial court in Taiyuan, Yang Liang's family property is indeed far inferior, but as long as he is not too greedy, then Yang Liang's tens of millions of family business is enough to make people satisfied. At least, Yi Feng was very satisfied, not only got the tens of millions of property, but also got tens of thousands of Yang Liang's private army, in addition to Yang Liang's small armory. In addition, what is not recorded in Yang Xiong's account book is the family property of those henchmen under Yang Liang, such as Xiao Maha, Wang Cheng and other confidants, generals and divisions have properties in Taiyuan, and copying them is a lot of money.
"Let the following move quickly, pack all the things into the car, and send them directly to Hengzhou Zhending City through Jingcheng, after Taihang is the territory of my Youzhou Mansion, and the things will be insured." Yi Feng didn't want to be busy for a long time, and in the end, when Yang Yong came over, he took it again, and it would be in vain.
"There's too much stuff." Yang Xiong found out at this time that this windfall is really a lot, even if it is just transported to Hengzhou, which is next door to Taihang, it is also a huge task, and the road is not easy to walk in this season.
Yi Feng taught Yang Xiong, "Mobilize the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Taiyuan and let them help with transportation, presumably they won't refuse, right?" Big deal, just give them a good pay. ”
"This is okay, they can't refuse, it's okay not to give money, it's His Royal Highness kind to give money." Yang Xiong said with a smile.
The crown prince Yang Yong was also out of Beijing with Yi Feng, but he was the prince and the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition, and he traveled slowly and slowly along the way, Yi Feng crossed the Yellow River, and he had just left Beijing. However, Yang Yong's line is to be set in Taiyuan, and sooner or later he will come, Yi Feng has to act quickly. He didn't want to meet Yang Yong in Taiyuan again, he wasn't in the mood.
After Yang Xiong left, Liu Wenjing came over to see Yi Feng: "Your Highness, I have already sent someone to send a recital to Beijing." ”
After doing so many things in Taiyuan, killing people, arresting generals, and raiding homes, he finally had to give the emperor a report. Yi Feng had already made a detailed report on the Taiyuan incident and sent someone to Beijing to present it to the emperor.
"Your Highness, this piece of music sent to the capital, although it can give Yang Liang a heavy blow, but I am afraid that it will let Yang Guang get out of the quagmire." Liu Wenjing said, "Isn't it a bit cost-effective to knock Yang Liang into the water, but let Yang Guang go ashore?" Compared with Yang Liang and Yang Guang, there is no doubt that Yang Guang is more threatening.
Yi Feng didn't care about this, or he felt that it was useless for him to care, Yang Guang was now under house arrest in Beijing because of the assassination case, but from the emperor's decision to transfer the five kings from Yangzhou to Merge with the state last time, he vaguely guessed that the emperor still valued Yang Guang very much. If not, it would not be better to directly transfer Yang Guang to the head of Yizhou and throw him to Shuzhong, Sichuan. Bingzhou is the world's largest governor's office, and it is very important, and Yang Guang has twice served as the governor of Bingzhou, which can be regarded as a territory that he is quite familiar with. Previously, Liu Wenjing and others persuaded Yi Feng to borrow a knife to kill people, push the assassination case on Yang Guang's head, and give him a stone, but Yi Feng finally refused, Yang Guang has not lost the trust of the emperor, at this time, it is a little unwise to blame Yang Guang, but it is easy to completely offend Yang Guang.
At the moment, Yi Feng still wants to maintain the secret alliance with Yang Guang, even if he has shared a bed and dreams, it is not yet time to break up.
"If it's cheap, Yang Guang will be cheap." Yi Feng said lightly, "Well, as soon as you remind me, I remember, I should write a letter to King Jin now, tell him that I pulled him, you said, he will accept my feelings." ”
Liu Wenjing couldn't keep up with Yi Feng's train of thought, so she could only spread her hands and be speechless. (To be continued......) R1292
