The reason why Du Yan knows so much about the situation of the canal is, of course, because of his good friend Wei Fusi.

Wei Fusi is a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who followed Yang Ming to Luoyang to supervise the construction of Tokyo, thinking that he could return to the capital after the end of Tokyo, but he specially launched a canal project.

After Changsun Chi took over the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he felt that you were in Luoyang anyway, and you should also watch the canal project, but Wei Fusi was completely tied there.

Du Yan was different, when he was in Luoyang, he was hung up and beaten by Yang Yan because of his disrespectful words, and he almost gave up his life.

He is a very grudgeful person, after returning to Beijing to recuperate, he has been thinking about how to Yin Yang Yong, don't look at him as just a foreigner, and Yang Yong is the king of Qi, as long as people dare to go out, there is nothing they dare not do.

】

Just like today's roaring filial piety, in fact, he regretted it very much afterwards, he was really hot and impulsive at that time, and again, he almost gave up his life.

Yang Guang has succeeded to the throne for two and a half years, and some people are not familiar with Yang Guang's character, and such people are very easy to suffer.

Historically, if the officials of the Tang Taizong Li Shimin Dynasty were placed under Yang Guang to ensure that there was no direct minister, whoever dared to find fault with Yang Guang would let Yang Guang go to see his ancestors.

Du Yan escaped this time, and he was skillful, he scolded Su Wei Niu Hong, but not Yang Guang.

In his words today, he dared to scold Huai a little, and his eldest nephew Du Ruhui had to be implicated.

After the robes, crowns and belts were handed in, Du Yan honestly went to see the gate.

Mingde Gate is the south gate of Daxing, and it is also the gate with the largest flow of people.

In fact, if you are a child from an ordinary background, it is also a good job to be able to watch the gate here, and the oil and water are very rich.

That's right, from a civilian background, it is impossible for you to look at the gate here, and there must be a way to see the gate.

On the first day of Du Yan's tenure, he worked a whole shift, and after the handover in the evening, he followed the others back to the guard and directly received 600 yuan.

Du Yan was stunned, what a good job, but it was more than my position in the Criminal Department.

What are the main ways to get money? It is a commercial tax, and there is a specific term called Guanjin tax, which is only available in some special areas in the Great Sui, and Jingshi is undoubtedly the most special.

There are two ways to collect the tax on Guanjin, ad valorem and ad valorem.

If the goods you want to pass through customs are expensive, then you will be taxed according to the total price, and if they are all bargains, then you will be charged according to the quantity.

The goods in the Guanzhong area enter Beijing without tax, and are collected in other places, which is also destined to push up the price of these goods.

So how do you avoid taxes?

For example, if a merchant brings goods into Beijing, he has to pay a customs tax of 100 yuan, but if you give 50 yuan to the gatekeeper, they will let you in, but they will not issue you a tax payment certificate.

The merchant saves fifty dollars, the gatekeeper earns fifty dollars, and the treasury loses a hundred dollars, and this is how the money comes from.

As long as the goods can enter the Beijing Division, there is no worry that they will not be sold, as for how to avoid tax inspection in the city, it is a matter for the merchants, and they can be operated.

But this method can't be used on people, because if you're not careful, something will happen.

The small money is divided by everyone, and in the middle is the head of the guard and the Ministry of Civil Affairs who are sent to collect taxes here, and the big money has to be the general of the military government, and there is no general cover, so the following dare not do so.

Of course, Du Yan will not be full of food to report this kind of thing, Daxing's city defense does this, and there are not a few vested interests involved.

This afternoon, the eldest nephew Du Ruhui came to look for him, and Du Yan was on guard at the time, so he greeted a wine shop by the city gate, and asked them to entertain their nephew, and when he got off work, the uncle and nephew would get together again.

Du Ruhui sat on the street side of the shop, looking at his uncle with a smile, wearing leather armor and a light helmet, quite like that.

In fact, without anyone to say hello, Du Yan will not be bullied here, Jingzhao Du's family, but the head snake of the Jingshi, some local gangs, have to rely on the Du family to feed them, and the captain of the guard station has to salute when he sees Du Yan.

After only a few days, he is already like a fish in water.

After the shift was handed over, Du Yan first returned to the guard not far from the city gate, changed into regular clothes, and changed from a gatekeeper to a handsome gentleman.

"Take some good wine out, this thing is stuffed with your teeth," Du Yan has only been working for a few days, and his words smell like **.

The boss hurriedly changed the wine for the two.

"This shop belongs to the Wei family, and I drink here without spending money," Du Yan said, filling a glass for his eldest nephew.

The shop at the gate of the city, or on Suzaku Street, you can't open it without a background, it's not an exaggeration to say, you just set up a stall on the street to sell mutton noodles, there have to be people, otherwise why can you sell mutton noodles here?

During the drinking, Du Ruhui whispered: "You can take it easy in the future, don't always have trouble with yourself, it's all twice." ”

Once insulted King Qi, once roared at the court, there was no background, and it was already hanging.

Du Yan laughed, patted his chest, and said, "I am very blessed and fatal." ”

"What I said just now was asked by King Qin to be relayed, but you were replaced by you," Du Ruhui said.

Du Yan was stunned for a moment, and his old face blushed and smiled: "Don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example." ”

Du Ruhui said again: "King Qin has another sentence that is very strange, let me tell you." ”

"You say," Du Yan glared and listened carefully,

Du Ruhui frowned and said, "He said that if we break up in the future, he will clean you up." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Du Yan was stunned.

Du Ruhui spread his hands: "I don't know, this is His Highness's original words, as for why, he didn't tell me." ”

Du Yan groaned: "Our uncle and nephew, how can we make a trouble?" Besides, why did you and I break up, and he wanted to clean me up? I didn't mess with him? ”

"Maybe King Qin thinks that if the two of us break up, it must be your fault," Du Ruhui smiled.

Historically, Du Yan and Du Ruhui were not in harmony, and induced Wang Shichong to kill Du Ruhui's eldest brother.

Later, Li Shimin killed Wang Shichong and planned to kill Du Yan, but Du Ruhui interceded and saved his life, which was regarded as repaying his grievances with virtue, so that Du Yan later became a secretary in Li Shimin's dynasty.

Yang Ming didn't want to see a conflict between his uncle and nephew, so he warned in advance.

"Forget it, King Qin is too worried, how can the two of us have a quarrel and drink," Du Yan took the lead in raising his glass.

The reason why Yang Ming asked Du Ruhui to go on this trip and warn the other party was that he didn't want to wipe Du Yan's ass anymore, and secondly, he also betrayed his favor, after all, it was Yang Ming who came forward to protect him twice.

The two most important snakes in the Jingzhao area, Wei Du, the Wei family and Yang Ming are not related, the Du family can no longer be lost, what is the wind and grass in the Jingshi, it is also the easiest for these two families to get information, and they will definitely be able to use it in the future.

Du Ruhui has a low rank in the clan, and it is not as effective as Du Yan's words, but this does not mean that Yang Ming will trust the other party.

Because of Yang Ming's status, it has been decided that he can't trust anyone easily.

In the past few days, Yang Su's condition has suddenly worsened, and Princess Yang Yinjiang has already lived in the Chu Mansion, while Yang Ming is ordered to check Yang Su's condition.

That's right, he was at Yang Guang's behest.

Yang Guang wanted to know how long Yang Su could survive.

"It won't last long, now I can just stay up one day at a time," Yang Su was lying on the couch, his face was yellow and thin, sometimes sober, sometimes hutu.

Seeing Yang Ming, he didn't even have the strength to sit up.

Yang Ming knew that he was not pretending, because Yang Su was here with him and never pretended.

Yang Su trembled and raised his hand towards Yang Ming, Yang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to hold it, only to hear Yang Su say:

"While the old man is sober now, there are some things that have to be entrusted to His Highness."

Yang Ming's face was solemn, and he nodded: "Duke Chu, please speak." ”

Yang Su raised his eyelids with difficulty, glanced at the juniors in the room, and said weakly:

"You all listen well, don't think I'm alarmist, in the future, you can only look at the king of Qin, otherwise...... Otherwise, it will be ...... Disaster will surely come. ”

Yang Xuangan and his brothers, as well as Yang Su's younger brothers Yang Xun, Yang Shen, Yang Yue, and cousins Yang Shi and Yang Hong are all there.

There are also Yang Wensi and so on in the clan, there are forty or fifty people, all of whom have official positions.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

Yang Su somewhat explained what was going on, because he didn't know when he would be awake next time, or whether he would be sober again.

Then, Yang Su clasped Yang Ming's hand and said: "There are many talents in my clan, Your Highness can use it with confidence, after I die, I am afraid that something will happen to Yang Yue, and I hope Your Highness will do his best to protect it." ”

"Don't worry, I'm here, Yang Yue is here," Yang Ming nodded in agreement.

Yang Yue will not have an accident, although Yang Yue in history has only been alive for a few years, but he was not sentenced to death, but died of natural illness.

If you die naturally, Yang Ming can't control it.

Yang Su looked at everyone again: "Today's events, whoever dares to leak them will be kicked out of the family tree and will never be recorded again." ”

Then, Yang Su began to pant heavily, and it seemed that he had no strength to speak anymore.

Seeing this, Xuan Gan hurriedly ran over and helped his father lie down, Yang Su's eyes stared at Yang Ming, as if he still had something to say, but he couldn't say it anymore.

Yang Yinjiang couldn't bear to look at it anymore, she hid her face and ran out of the room, she couldn't cry, crying now, according to superstition, it was unlucky.

After a while, Yang Ming left the house, found his wife, and comforted:

"People are born to die, and we will both have this day."

"Don't say such things," Yang Yin reluctantly threw herself into Yang Ming's arms, endured not crying, and said:

"If I want to die, I will die before you, because I can't bear life without you."

Yang Ming comforted:

"What we have to think about now is that without Chu Gong, what should we do, what should the Yang family do, the building will collapse, if we don't make comprehensive arrangements, the hard days of the Yang family will come."

Yang Yinjiang, this person is not an ordinary woman, she knows the general trend, she raised her head, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Yang Wensi, the great ancestor of the clan, has a great relationship with Yuwenshu, at this time, we should push him up, otherwise it will be difficult to rely on my uncle alone."

"It's feasible," Yang Ming nodded.

Yang Wensi is Yang Su's patriarch, and his father Yang Kuan is the Northern Zhou Dynasty Xiaozuka Zai, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty Dazuka Zai is Yang Jian.

This person is very powerful, and he was very beautiful during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but after entering the Sui Dynasty, he relied on Yang Su's support.

Historically, after the eldest grandson, this person was the next secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and even made it possible for his subordinates to accept words.

Hongnong Yang, a behemoth, how can he say that he will fall.
