Chapter 414 Father and son talk

At the moment, Wang Wei is in Hedong County, and he has just sat on the Taishou not long ago.

The original Hedong Taishou Dou Qing was responded to by Yang Ming and his family for seven or eight years, and he couldn't stand it, so he asked the emperor to change his place, so Yang Guang asked him to go to Bohai County to be a Taishou to make up for the lack of Gao Shengdao.

Bohai is not as good as Hedong, Dou Qing is not happy, so he has not taken office so far.

This kind of thing is left to others, and it has long been asked, but Dou Qing is fine, because his mother is Yang Guang's aunt.

As a result, after the canonization ceremony ended, Dou Qing regretted it, there was no king in Hedong? Yang Rui, the king of Hedong, is now the king of Qin, so why are you still leaving?

Therefore, at the court meeting, the one who recommended Wang Wei to Yiwu County was Dou Qing's elder brother Chen Guogong Dou Kang.

Yang Guang also knew what Dou Kang's calculations were, after all, he was his own relative, and he would take care of him if he could, so he agreed to Wang Wei to go to Yiwu, and Dou Qing continued to stay in Hedong.

This place in the east of the river is very strange, with terrifying mineral resources such as salt, iron, copper, and gold, and the water resources are extremely rich.

It belongs to Shanxi, as we all know, Shanxi is a major coal mining province in the country, almost all prefecture-level cities in the province contain outrageous coal resources, but only Hedong is not, that is, Shanxi Yuncheng,

It is one of the worst coal resources in Shanxi, so it is often ridiculed as "spotless" and "clean and self-loving".

After the court meeting ended, Yang Ming took the initiative to stay.

Yang Guang beckoned to his son and motioned to come with me, so the father and son went to the Liangyi Hall where Yang Guang dealt with government affairs every day.

"Pei Yun went to Hebei this time, went straight to Qinghe County, and killed the Cui family by surprise," Yang Guang said with a smile:

"The latest report he sent to Menxia Province said that according to a slight estimate, the Qinghe Cui clan is only in the first county of Qinghe County, and the concealed registered population is estimated to be 60,000, and if you count other places, it should exceed 200,000."

Such a harsh fact, you can still laugh out, Yang Ming feels that this number is a bit conservative,

I saw him smile bitterly: "This is the case with all families in the world, and it is even more difficult to change the status quo." ”

Yang Guang smiled and nodded: "This is the helplessness of being the Son of Heaven, there are some things you want to change, but you are always powerless, the phenomenon of a wealthy family like this controlling the place, if it is not corrected in time, it will form a country within a country in the long run, thus emptying the imperial court." ”

Yang Ming said: "In my father's heart, is there any proper solution?" ”

"No," Yang Guang shook his head and said: "I can't show my heart for the family too obviously, for fear of being counterattacked, the best way is to let them consume each other, what do you think, how can they consume each other?" ”

Yang Ming pondered for a moment and said: "The Guanzhong family is one, ironclad, if you want to consume, you must rely on external forces, and now the two canals have been built one after another, and it is the time for the Jiangnan and Shandong clans to show their strengths." ”

"That's right," Yang Guang said with a smile, "When you first proposed to me to take the title of ten subjects, I guessed that you had already seen the root of the problem, so I will tell you these words today." ”

Before Yang Jian died, he gave his son Yang Guang the bottom line, including the future policy direction of abandoning the Guanzhong standard.

But Yang Guang felt that Yang Ming had already seen this problem, so he gave the bottom in advance, so that his son could cooperate with him to complete this arduous task.

"It has been more than 300 years since the division of the north and south of China, and it has been less than 30 years since the founding of the Great Sui Kingdom," Yang Guang got up and paced back and forth in the hall slowly, saying:

"Your grandfather, Emperor Gaozu, how difficult it is to rule the world, a little bit is a split, and now I will inherit the unification, the first thing to do is to return to the north and south, repair Luoyang, and build the canal, all for this reason."

Then, Yang Guang looked at his son and said slowly: "If you want Shandong Jiangnan to return to your heart, there is only one way, that is, let them enter the center, participate in state affairs, and then use scientific research to select scholars from poor families and give them officials to do, this is called teaching people to fish, once people have something to do, they will not think in their minds, and in the future, the people who come up from these two places, you must try to shelter them." ”

"Erchen understands," Yang Ming said: "That being the case, so in recent years, will my father live in Luoyang?" ”

"This is your cleverness," Yang Guang nodded and said: "Luoyang is in the very center of Guanzhong and Shandong Jiangnan, only this place can facilitate the participation of the three families at the same time, otherwise the southerners will go to Guanzhong to be officials, and they will eventually be unadaptable." ”

This adaptation to water and soil is not only water and soil, but also includes various human factors such as local cultural customs, behavioral habits and so on.

With the completion of the Grand Canal, Shandong and Jiangnan will quickly integrate with Luoyang, but will not integrate with Guanzhong, and in order to compete for Luoyang's resources, the contradictions of local forces will become more and more prominent.

It's a good thing now, but it's a disaster in the long run.

Therefore, every policy actually has advantages and disadvantages, depending on whether the timing of its application is appropriate, Li Longji just changed the military system of the government to a conscription system, and An Lushan reversed, which shows that this policy was out of place at that time.

Historically, the contradiction between Shandong and Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty was mainly the conflict of interests between the families, and the upward channel of the Shandong scholars was blocked.

Yang Ming continued: "We must treat scientific research as the top priority every year. ”

Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "It's easier said than done, at the moment, whether it's in Beijing or in the place, there are not so many positions, and it's not so easy to make a move, but fortunately, in this Hebei chaos, I have the opportunity to make some space for the Hebei Shi clan, but after all, it is limited." ”

Yang Ming was shocked, and couldn't help but gasp, if the rebellion in Hebei was also in Dad's expectation, then Yang Guang was not an ordinary terrible person.

It is unclear whether the canal was rebuilt to six months to facilitate his boat trip south from Zhuojun, or whether he deliberately forced Hebei to rebel against Hebei in order to provide a short and justified upward passage for the Hebei Shi clan.

If so, Yang Guang is simply born to be the emperor's material, ruthless and desperate enough.

Because more than eighty percent of the local Taishou in the Great Sui are all from Guanzhong, it is not easy to break the monopoly of Guanzhong on local officials.

And the way to force anti-Hebei is called not breaking and not standing, which is why Chen Junbin and Cui Hongjun are fine, and Yang Wanshi was escorted to Beijing.

Yang Ming didn't want to think about it anymore, he didn't want to become an emperor who regarded all the people as dogs, hundreds of thousands of lives just paved a way for a few people to enter the center, and he felt scared when he thought about it.

Yang Guang looked at his ugly son curiously and asked:

"What's wrong with you?"

Yang Ming shook his head: "Erchen is fine, so does my father plan to reopen schools in various places?" Give the Hanmen clan a chance. ”

"It's easy to abolish it, but it's difficult to set it up," Yang Guang said: "Your grandfather built the school in order to provide opportunities for local families to enter the office, but who are the students in the school?" How many are from local families? If the origin of the magistrate cannot be solved, the reopening of the school is just a joke. ”

Yang Ming deeply agreed, and it is true that the local schools during the Kaihuang period have been completely reduced to the concentration of the second generation of officials, and few of them are really learning, and the ones who have been cultivated are all a group of people who can inherit their father's business.

At this time, Yang Ming suddenly said:

"Erchen hopes that Yang Yu can study with Yang Rui, and I hope that my father will allow it."

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and immediately frowned: "Why do you suddenly have this idea?" ”

Yang Ming did not hide it, and directly told Wei Ying about meeting him in private, as well as Wei Ying's worries.

Yang Guang did taboo Yang Ming and Wei Ying to meet in private, but he was even more taboo about Yang Ming hiding from him.

But when his son told the truth, Yang Guang was relieved:

"This is the case with the woman, who is short-sighted, how can you and your eldest brother be brothers of the same mother, and how can you harm your own nephew? It's because she's too suspicious, or she's been bewitched. ”

In Yang Guang's heart, his killing of Yang Yong's son is not cruel, because it is a group of concubines, and he does not think that Yang Yan and Yang Ke are his own nephews.

Yang Liang, the king of Han, rebelled, but Yang Guang only killed his concubine Yang Yu, and his sister-in-law Yang Hao was alive and well and was kept in the palace.

Yang Ming knew that Yang Guang was actually worried in his heart, so he chose to be open and honest and make his words clear, so that his father could eliminate his suspicions.

"The eldest brother died early, Yang Yu and Yang Rui are the same Geng, but the brothers rarely meet each other on weekdays, Erchen thinks that they should be together since childhood, and the brothers are harmonious so that they can work together in the future to help me in the future."

Yang Guang nodded with relief: "You can have this idea, I am very relieved, but I will not agree, Yang Rui is the eldest of the crown prince, he is the most noble among my imperial grandsons, it is not suitable to be classmates with others, after you are older, you can consider it, but not now, let Yang Yu and Yang Jin go together to be a disciple of that Wang Tong." ”

Yang Ming said curiously: "Doesn't my father dislike Wang Tong?" ”

"Whether you like it or not, it's all for others to see," Yang Guang said with a smile.

"Remember, don't let people guess what you really think in your heart, Pei Ju has always been empty-eyed, but he only values Wang Tong, you can know that he still has strengths, and that Wei Zheng, this person is also from a famous family, in the future, if you offend people, you let him do it, when you calm things down, let him go to the top, how long he can live, it all depends on how long he can help you top."

Yang Ming nodded under great pressure, it is really not an easy task to be the emperor's son, every second is all calculation.

It is no wonder that many emperors in history are lustful, because only this most primitive desire can relax the nerves.

During this period, Yang Ming asked about the candidate for Prince Xian Ma, and Yang Guang couldn't make up his mind for a while, saying that he would slowly select him.

Yang Ming mentioned Wang Shao, but Yang Guang scoffed and directly denied it, thinking that the other party was a person who was selling his reputation and reputation.

After leaving the Liangyi Palace, Yang Ming only felt that his entire nerves were tense.

So he left the palace and went to the Qin Palace, because only a fresh and delicious body like Gao Yue could soothe him.

It's not an indulgence in carnal desires, it's just a way to ease your emotions.
