Chapter 473: The Treasury Is Short of Silver Again
As for Su Dingfang and Li Jing.
Before coming to the Great Sui, they were also worried that they would be targeted, after all, people like them who surrendered were often not treated well.
However, Yang Guang's style of doing things is like giving them a reassurance.
Unconsciously began to respect Yang Guang.
On the other side, after handing Yang An to Queen Xiao beside him, Yang Guang spoke again, and his voice was high-pitched: "Su Dingfang, Li Jing, come up and listen to the seal." ”
"The last general!"
The two got up and walked out at the same time, their expressions solemn.
"The two of them were both in important positions in the Tang Dynasty before, and after coming to the Great Sui, I will not slack off." Yang Guang was dressed in a dragon robe, which was very majestic: "Therefore, Li Jing was canonized as the left general, and Su Dingfang was the right general. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Jing and Su Dingfang thanked each other.
They are quite satisfied with this official position.
According to the existing official position system of the Great Sui, the left general and the right general already belong to the first echelon, and they still have great real power in the army.
"As for the 50,000 Tang troops you brought, they will be assigned to the major military camps by the military department Shangshu according to the actual situation, and strive to let them integrate into our Sui army as soon as possible." Yang Guang instructed the military department again.
The secretary of the military department bowed: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Seeing this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Yang Guang's face, and he teased: "This time, I looted 50,000 troops from Li Shimin, as well as some weapons, grain and grass, haha, I seem to have seen Li Shimin's wonderful expression." ”
"He's taking the blame for it."
Pei Ju said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that he underestimated our Great Sui and wanted to rebel against the civil and military officials from us, how could he end up like this?" ”
"What's it called? This is called self-destruction if you do many acts of injustice! ”
"Well, this description is very realistic, and it deserves to be born in Wenchen......"
Before Yang Guang finished speaking, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.
Yang Guang smiled and took the initiative to greet the latter in full view of everyone.
As for the ministers, they followed and looked over.
only to find out that it was Yang Gonggong with a dusty face!
I couldn't help but smack my tongue secretly, what can make Your Majesty pay so much attention to it, presumably even those high-ranking and powerful figures in the court lack a little fire, but I didn't expect that a eunuch could get this honor.
But it's not surprising when you think about it.
Eunuchs, get along with the emperor on the eve of the dynasty, especially Yang Gonggong, his relationship with Yang Guang has long surpassed that of ordinary masters and servants, who in the court does not know that Yang Guang regards Yang Gonggong as an elder from the bottom of his heart?
"Gonggong Yang, I thought you would come back tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to be a day earlier. How about it, the march is hard, and the body can still eat, right? ”
Seeing that Yang Guang took the initiative to come to greet him, Yang Gonggong undoubtedly looked flattered and cramped: "If you return to Your Majesty, the old slave feels that there is nothing wrong with his body. ”
"No, because I was worried about Your Majesty, I went back to the palace one step ahead of them."
"As for General Cheng Yanjin and General Luo Cheng, they are settling the soldiers and horses they brought back outside the city, saying that they will come to see Your Majesty later."
Yang Guang held Yang Gonggong's hand and grinned: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Hearing this, Yang Gonggong burst into tears and almost shed tears.
In front of everyone, Yang Guang did not hide his concern for himself at all, which undoubtedly made Yang Gonggong feel that when he met such a good master, he really did not live in vain in his life!
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, today, it can really be regarded as a double happiness!"
Lai Hu'er squeezed out a smile: "First there were Su Dingfang and Li Jing, who came to serve the Great Sui with 50,000 Tang troops, and then the Sui army returned triumphantly, which is an excellent omen, which means that our Great Sui will definitely be smooth sailing from now on, and the road will be open to the sky and unimpeded!" ”
"I hope so." Yang Guang raised his eyebrows, he also hoped that this sentence could become a reality.
Then, the banquet continued.
Not long after, Luo Cheng, Cheng Yanjin and others also came.
The atmosphere of the banquet is undoubtedly more lively, and Yang Guang is even more (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 473: The Treasury Is Short of Silver Again
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he rewarded these heroes who had just returned for their meritorious deeds, rewarded more than 30 people in one go, and threw a lot of silver out, which can be described as extremely generous.
Hearing this, the fat on Tobe Shangshu's face trembled, and he was distressed to death.
When Yang Guang finished rewarding, he sneaked to Yang Guang's side and whispered in the latter's ear: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, there is not much silver left, and you may not be able to take out those rewards just now......"
"What?"
Yang Guang almost got furious when he heard this: "Why is the treasury short of silver again?" ”
"You old fat man, you can't be corrupt, right?"
Hubu Shangshu complained bitterly: "Your Majesty, how dare the ministers be corrupt, if they dare to be corrupt, they will have been targeted by the supervision agency a long time ago." ”
"How can there be no silver? I remember that the money in the treasury must be very rich! Yang Guang was stunned, his brows squeezed together.
"Your Majesty doesn't know, this time you went to Luoyang, you consumed a lot of silver, and recently there have been several natural disasters, so that the minister has to allocate some silver to the local government for relief of the victims."
"In addition, there is a road that is about to be built, and it is also quite silver-hungry, and most of the money in the treasury is thrown into it. ”
"It's so hard to build a road?" Yang Guang kept his eyes on it, almost breaking the defense.
You know, his goal is to make things like roads spread to the entire Central Plains in the future, but he didn't expect that with the power of the imperial court, he would already be overwhelmed on the road between Jiangnan and Luoyang.
It seems that the way and method of building your own roads must be flexible.
You can't put all the pressure on the imperial court, you have to mobilize the people of the world to build roads together, and in this way, the difficulty is bound to be reduced countless times.
It's just that these are all later words, and the top priority in front of us is still silver.
He had just been rewarded with at least a million taels of silver, and if he gave the reward but couldn't put it in place, then he would be disgraced and thrown to his grandmother's house.
"That's right......" Yang Guang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and asked Yang Gonggong, who was resting on his right hand: "Yang Gonggong, the silver we brought from Luoyang is still there, right?" ”
"Yes, it should have been sent to the treasury at this moment."
Yang Gonggong was just about to get up, but was pressed down by Yang Guang again: "Okay, you are tired of traveling, just sit, you don't have to stand up for a while, sit down for a while, stand for a while, and stand again after resting tomorrow." ”
"Well, the old slave understands."
Yang Gonggong said, and raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes......
