The largest royal pasture is in Longxi, with horses from the Western Regions as the main breeder, and the second largest pasture is in Shuofang County under Yulin County, with Turkic horses as the main breed.

Shuofang County, that is, the area of Dengkou County of Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia in later generations, the terrain here is actually more complicated, belongs to the Hetao area, the eastern plain of the county is suitable for grazing, the royal pasture set here is in the early years of the emperor, there are 15,000 horses, nearly 40,000 in the middle period, and 20,000 in the later period.

Not all horses are suitable for war horses, people have survival of the fittest, horses also have, and ponies and old horses cannot be used yet.

Some horses are not suitable for war horses, such as timid, easily frightened, dishonest, and substandard horses that will be counterproductive if they are forcibly incorporated into the cavalry.

So the crack of corruption came, according to the Great Sui system, the war horses that did not meet the standards would be disposed of and sold to merchants or civilians.

So a large number of high-quality war horses were regarded as inferior horses, so that the people of the Taifu Temple were sold, of course, the price of good horses was the price of selling good horses, but the price reported to the court was the price of inferior horses, and the difference in the middle was greedy.

Therefore, the Great Sui issued a law that horses between the ages of six and sixteen were not allowed to be sold, and as a result, there were policies and countermeasures, and they began to falsify the age of horses.

Cui Junxuan, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, knew that the matter was very important, and he went to Longxi early to inspect.

Yang Guang is not easy to fool, if people want 100,000 horses, then they must be 100,000 qualified war horses, can't make up? hehe

How many horses there are in all the royal ranches, Yang Guang has a record here, no matter how much water there is, anyway, people multiply it by three, and they will ask you for horses according to this standard.

The emperor is not a fool, he doesn't know that he is filling his pockets below? Don't forget, people have always been enriching their pockets in Yangzhou, and what is the atmosphere of officialdom, people are from here.

The people of Taifu Temple also know that even if I go to steal and rob, I have to make up this number.

Yang Ming ordered the servant Shaoqing to Qu Tugai and was responsible for inspecting Shuofang Ranch.

"I asked Fang Xuanling to go with you, it seems that you are the master and he is subordinate, but in fact, he is the master, understand?" East Palace, Yang Ming said.

Of course, Qu Tugai understands that the prince is afraid that he will collude with local subordinates, and what can he find out if he checks his neck with his head? So don't worry about letting him take the lead in the investigation.

"The minister understands that everything is based on Xuan Ling, and he strives to thoroughly investigate the shortcomings of Shuo Fang in previous years."

Yang Ming snorted coldly and said, "Shuofang Ranch has always been in charge of Ling, how many years has it been, 40,000 horses have become 20,000 horses, how much have you fished from the middle?" ”

Qu Tugai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Prince Mingjian, how dare the minister embezzle domestic production?" ”

"If there is anything that violates the law, Fang Xuanling will find out when he goes down," Yang Ming said: "Don't think that Qu Tutong can protect you, he can't even protect himself, if Fang Xuanling goes down this time and there is one less hair, I only ask you." ”

Qu Tugai knelt down and sweated: "The minister has no corruption and perversion of the law, His Royal Highness Xuan Ling's safety can rest assured, and the minister will never allow Xuan Ling to lose." ”

Yang Ming nodded: "Remember, the stakes are very high, the number of horses concealed and sold privately below must be checked clearly, and they must be recovered. ”

"Yes, yes, the minister understands, the minister understands," Qu Tugai wiped his cold sweat and retreated.

The three major pastures of the Great Sui, Longxi, Shuofang, and Yanmen.

There is nothing going on in Yanmen, after all, this is the border pass, the imperial court is the most closely watched, and the Yanmen Taishou is also the general of the left imperial guard, Qiu He, and Qiu He is an understanding person, he does not dare to make a mistake in the matter of the ranch.

At lunchtime, Xu Jing came to report that Dugu Bailou was back.

Yang Ming went out in person and welcomed the other party in,

"Mama came just in time, let's eat some together."

Dugu Bailou will not be polite to Yang Ming, after all, when Yang Ming was a child, she also wiped and pee.

"Mama is back, there must be something, right?" After the two sat down, Yang Ming smiled.

Dugu Bailou said while eating: "You are really interesting, Feng'er has not come back for so long, you have urged earlier, and there has not even been a letter in the past two years, what?" Have you forgotten about this person? ”

Yang Ming smiled bitterly: "It's that she doesn't want to come back, and it's not that I don't let her come back. ”

Dugu Bailou rolled his eyes and said: "No matter how busy you are, you won't even have a letter, although that girl doesn't say it, I know that she has been looking forward to you writing to her, she is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, don't you know?" ”

"If she misses me, she will come back herself," Yang Ming said: "If you don't want to come back, naturally you don't want me." ”

Dugu Bailou frowned and said, "She has a hard time, you should understand." ”

"Why should I understand?" Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "The letter that people gave me is very clear: send each other to think about it, she asked me to settle Zheng Anrao, and I also did it for her, what else do I need to know about her?" ”

"What are you two angry about?" Dugu Bailou was speechless.

Yang Ming raised his hand: "Mama don't say it again, I know what you are doing, the Dugu family has already revealed to me before you, saying that she was locked up and confined, Dugu Su wants to play with me, he also knows that no one dares to ask him for this girl in the world, right?" ”

"Feng'er is your person, who else dares to ask for her besides you?" Dugu white corridor.

Yang Ming slammed his chopsticks and said, "Does she also know that she is my person?" If she knew, she should have come back two years ago, should I still beg her to come back? You tell her, don't come back. ”

After that, Yang Ming got up directly and left, leaving Dugu Bailou speechless.

Finally grew up, Dugu Bailou sighed in his heart, now Yang Ming is already the prince, majestic and domineering, and does not allow others to be despised and despised by others.

Yang Ming walked alone in the streets of the East Palace.

He didn't have any resentment towards Dugu Feng'er, he was just putting on a show just now.

The situation of Dugu's family is more complicated, because during the Kaihuang period, he was a relative and was covered by Dugu Jialuo, and Dugu Jialuo naturally likes and dislikes the people in his mother's family, and those who are more treated will naturally breed arrogance, and those who are not treated will suffer from cold treatment.

In this way, the Dugu family is not very united, because they only respect Dugu Jialuo, and others do not pay attention to it.

So much so that Dugu Su, the head of the family, has nothing to show and no prestige.

Why didn't Dugu Huaien take Dugu in his eyes, because when he was a child, he was raised by Dugu Jialuo.

And Dugu Su, his father Dugu Luo was imprisoned by Gao Huan for 20 years, and his life was hard to force anymore, after he was released, he was poor and miserable, and it was difficult to eat three meals.

So the eldest Dugu Luo, with the other brothers, the relationship is not close, although it is the eldest brother, but I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, and he will definitely not be close to each other.

But no matter what, he is the eldest and was imprisoned by Gao Huan, and he was also given to the pit by his father Duguxin.

So after the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Dugu Jialuo asked his eldest brother Dugu Luo to attack his father Dugu Xin's Zhao Guogong, and then Dugu Ji attacked again.

That's why Dugu Su loves money so much, it's true that he was poor and afraid when he was a child.

As for what Dugu Su thinks, Yang Ming can probably guess here that the Dugu family is scattered today, but the decline has been revealed, and Dugu Su wants to gather the family together and unite it, but the prestige is not enough.

What to do? Take advantage of Dugu Feng'er.

As long as Dugu Feng'er justifiably becomes the prince's woman, he can rely on Dugu Feng'er's father's identity to re-gather the scattered family, and he will be able to stabilize the position of the head of the family.

People don't have much ambition, they just want to be the head of the family with real power.

But people's ambitions will change, as the so-called mountain looks at a mountain high, when Dugu Su really controls the family, then he will inevitably be involved in Yang Ming's harem family affairs.

The marriage that Dugu Jialuo gave to Yang Ming back then was intended to support Dugu Su to take over the family, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and Dugu Feng'er went crazy.

At the moment, Yang Ming does not want to see the Dugu family united, in fact, all the families, he does not want them to be united.

And the biggest resistance, in Yang Guang, Yang Ming is almost certain that his father is unwilling to let Feng'er come back.

This is why Pei Ju and Pei Yun can be favored at the same time, this is a means for Yang Guang to use his strength to divide the Pei family from the inside, but Pei Yun is a branch, and no one in the clan supports him, so he can't do Pei Ju, and he doesn't dare to have this thought.

Pei Ju is top-level smart, and people can also see that Pei Yun is gaining momentum, and he and Li Yuan are in-laws, so they simply planned to let Jiancheng's daughter marry his grandson Yang Jin, so as to weaken Pei Yun.

I have to say that Pei Ju is too awesome, and he is playing with conspiracy.

Halfway through, Yang suddenly ran over and caught up with Yang Mingdao:

"Your Highness, the crown princess is looking for you."

Yang is Yang Yinjiang's dowry, her full name is Yang Yuru, she is eighteen years old this year, and she is also responsible for raising the third Yang Qi.

Yang Ming didn't sleep with her, mainly because there was no shortage of women.

"What's the matter?" Yang Ming frowned.

Yang Yuru said: "The crown princess received a letter from the second master, and asked me to look for you afterwards." ”

Yang Yue? Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Mama Lou, you go there, so that you can settle down, she can live here for as long as she wants." ”

"Okay, I'll go now," After speaking, Yang Yuru ran away with a sweat.

After returning to the dormitory, Yang Yinjiang came out with great joy,

"There is a good opportunity to make my uncle return to the court, but it is more complicated, and you have to come up with ideas."

Yang Ming took the letter, read it carefully, and frowned:

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, Yuwenshu has this ability?"

Yang Yinjiang said: "Yuwen Shu is now in the name of his father, supervising the recruitment of war horses in the Taifu Temple, I also know that he must be uneasy and kind, but the opportunity is always rare, my uncle was the sin of helping me, even if I fall into someone else's trap this time, I also hope that my uncle can come back." ”

In fact, what kind of trap it is, Yang Yinjiang knows very well in her heart, but she can't say it clearly, because she knows that Yang Ming taboos this.

She was afraid that Yang Ming would refuse to help this time because of this taboo.

So she knelt down directly for Yang Ming and cried:

"The concubine can't bear to let my uncle fall to this, please have mercy on my husband."

Yang Ming sighed bitterly in his heart, it is difficult to do things, there are too many people and things you have to take care of.
