Chapter 642: Steady as an iron bucket of people's hearts

Wang Shichong's problem has not been solved for a long time, and Li Shimin always uses this problem to deliberately target the Great Sui.

This incident undoubtedly made Yang Guang tired of it.

According to his temper, he had already led the army to attack Luoyang, but now after all, he had not encountered a suitable fighter, and for the sake of the Great Sui, Yang Guang had to temporarily choose to forbear.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

During these three months, the Great Sui was relatively calm, and nothing special happened.

Except for sending Fang Xuanling to Luoyang, the Datang side did not make any superfluous moves, and it can be said that the well water does not interfere with the river water with the Great Sui, and there is basically no substantive conflict.

That is, the defenders stationed on the border line will break out from time to time some skirmishes, but both sides are small casualties on each other, and the problem is not big, and it will not allow the situation to escalate further.

On the Jiangdu side, the power plant that Yang Guang has always had in mind, as well as the first military academy in history, were also completed.

For a time, a large number of generals entered military academies to study military knowledge.

In addition to Kai Yang Guang as the dean, in addition, those who can serve as teachers are also famous generals like Laihuer, and the lineup of lecturers can be described as extremely luxurious.

Even, Yang Guang also said that some of the advanced tactics and strategies he had seen from books and TV dramas, far beyond the times of this era, were all compiled into a booklet, and then the booklet was distributed, which became the first textbook of the Military Academy.

And the appearance of this booklet undoubtedly caused a sensation in the entire Great Sui, and every general who got this booklet regarded it as a treasure, and even with a rough person like Cheng Yanjin who wanted to vomit when he saw the book, he held the booklet every day and forgot to eat and write.

It can be said that relying on the strategic and tactical way of thinking learned from the pamphlets and those lecturers, the strength of the Great Sui generals is steadily improving.

According to the development of this efficiency, in the future, the generals of the Great Sui may all be famous generals.

And the appearance of the power plant made the people of the entire Jiangdu ecstatic.

Because, after the power plant was built, Yang Guang immediately spent a lot of money to install street lamps at various intersections in the city, so that the common people can also enjoy the same treatment as the Jiangdu Palace.

This transformation has greatly improved the nightlife of the people of Jiangdu.

According to Yang Guang's regulations, as long as people who are willing to spend some silver, they can find the imperial court to install electric lights for private households, and then, they only need to pay a certain amount of electricity every month to enjoy household electricity.

However, it is worth mentioning that in order to popularize electric lights, Yang Guang set this price extremely low, which is basically half sold and half sent.

And for those people who live in extreme poverty, Yang Guang is also quite generous, all of them are exempted, free installation and power transmission. In addition, in special places such as medical halls, Yang Guang installed electric lights for free more compulsorily, which can be regarded as a convenient behavior.

"Your Majesty, the establishment of this power plant has consumed a lot of silver, although you have popularized both public and household electricity in Jiangdu, but to be honest, we have not even recovered the cost......

"The minister probably calculated an account last night, and found that we still have at least ninety percent of the deficit......"

At this moment, in the study, Hubu Shangshu was complaining to Yang Guang.

It's just that Yang Guang's face was very calm, and when he finished speaking, he said unhurriedly: "According to what you just said, didn't we take back one percent of the silver, isn't it pretty good?" ”

"Besides, in the future, a certain amount of electricity will be charged every thirty days, and as long as you are patient, sooner or later you will be able to earn back the money you spent."

Hubu Shangshu almost vomited blood when he heard this: "It's not like this, Your Majesty, the power plant needs to consume huge costs every month in order to generate electricity, and the electricity fee charged is just a drizzle, if we don't raise the price of electricity, then it will take us at least a few decades to earn back the money we spent......"

"Therefore, the minister begs Your Majesty to take advantage of the fact that the electricity price has just been announced, and hurry up to make up for it and raise the electricity price......"

Yang Guang glanced at the head of the household and said, "Aiqing, do you know why I want to build a power plant?" ”

"Isn't it so that Da Sui can have one more means to make a profit?" Tobe Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied.

"Wrong, big mistake!" Yang Guang shook his head and said: "I built the power plant to benefit the public and unify the living standards of the people in Jiangdu to a new level. To put it bluntly, this is a convenience project, and I never thought of making a profit on this kind of convenience project. ”

"You must know that only when the people support our Great Sui, then our Great Sui can stand tall for several years, and even become strong step by step. Now, since we have this condition, why can't we send some warmth to the people? ”

"Let the people know that the Great Sui is good and that the Great Sui is strong, then they will continue to support the Great Sui, and we will have a stable heart like an iron bucket."

"Now, you should understand, right?" Yang Guang deliberately accentuated his tone.

Hubu Shangshu looked bitter, and said with a helpless smile: "Your Majesty is reasonable, from the perspective of the country, giving the people a little welfare is indeed conducive to winning the hearts of the people." Even when the minister looked at the money spent in the treasury, he was really distressed. ”

"Isn't the money in the treasury just for being spent? What good does it do to keep the money all the time? When the Great Sui destroys the country in the future, these silvers will become other people's spoils. ”

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and said: "In this case, it is better to spend as much as you want, and spend it on the improvement of national strength." ”

"As for you, don't be so petty all the time, look to the future, as long as the Great Sui always exists, then you are still worried that there is no silver available? After recovering Luoyang and annexing the Tang Dynasty, I am still afraid that the treasury is too small to stuff so much silver! ”

The treasury of the Great Sui was not as convenient as the bank accounts of later generations, and wartime expenses, such as grain, weapons, silver, gold, etc., were placed in a huge treasury.

At the same time, there are also heavy soldiers who are closely guarded day and night.

This, that is, the treasury!

There are more than 20 treasury like this......
