If there is not enough food to eat, it will affect the morale of the army, so the news of the flooding of Xingluocang cannot be leaked.

Don't expect the annual grain to be collected at the end of this year, that thing would have already entered the supply of the army, otherwise why would the warehouse have been vacated.

In the first half of the year, on the Yongji Canal River, the grain ships were connected to each other, and they traveled thousands of miles, and three million stones were freed, and in the second half of the year, large-scale grain transportation began, and the grain in the three major warehouses had to go north.

The three major families in Hebei are also honest, and if they don't make money in the second half of the year, then I definitely won't make money, after all, in the first half of the year, the yamen at all levels of the Ministry of Industry gave face, and there was less to eat and take cards, so that they got back a lot of money.

The river transportation of the Great Sui has always been under the management of the Ministry of Industry, and other yamen can't manage it, because the river is built by others, and I plant trees for you to enjoy the shade? Don't even think about it.

Therefore, some of the local yamen of the Ministry of Industry are amazing.

Xingluocang this time, it was all a fluke, if it wasn't for the fact that one-third of the grain cellar had been transported away, then the loss this time would be even greater.

suffered such a big disaster, Yang Guang must be guilty, Yu Wenkai is dead, you can't find trouble with the dead in this matter, so the Ministry of Industry will be responsible.

If you had carried the grain away early, would it have been flooded?

So Liu Su, who was in Beijing and was in charge of the Yongji Canal, was dismissed.

Liu Su is also wronged, it was the prince who asked for half the grain and half the goods, so that the progress of the grain transportation was delayed, and I didn't want to do this? Didn't we say that I would carry it before July, and it had nothing to do with me after July? It's September, huh?

So Liu Su went to the East Palace to see the prince as soon as possible.

Facing Liu Su with a wronged face, Yang Ming was also very helpless, this time it was really unlucky, who would have thought that Luoyang would have such a heavy rainstorm?

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty's will has come down, it is impossible to take it back, and I will find a way to compensate you for a while at home," Yang Ming said comfortably.

Liu Su said with a sad face: "The minister is not at fault, the prince is clear, I am good in Beijing, this is really a disaster from the sky, the minister has been in the Ministry of Industry for five years, and he is very proficient, and he really does not want to leave." ”

If you don't want to, you can't, the emperor will let you go?

Liu Su came today, in fact, he just wanted to say that the pot I carried for you, you have to arrange it for me, if you don't arrange it for me, I will stay here and not leave.

Yang Ming frowned and pondered for a moment, knowing that there was nothing real in his heart, and today he was counting on sending people away, so he said:

"That's it, you will definitely not be able to go back to the center in a short time, Yuwen Shangshu passed away, Yuwen Rutong has to come back to mourn, and the Southwest Xingtai Ministry of Industry Shangshu vacated after he left, you go to do it first, the appointment document of the Ministry of Officials, I will get it for you later, it is inconvenient now."

This is okay, it belongs to the old business, but the official rank is a little low, Liu Su knows in his heart that he is on the cusp at the moment, and the officials will definitely not be able to issue him an appointment document, so he has to wait until the limelight passes.

And the crown prince is the secretary of the southwest line, and the appointment of officials is up to the people, so he can take office quietly first, and then go through the formal procedures later.

"Xingtai Shangshu, how many products are it?" Liu Su asked knowingly, in fact, he was hinting to Yang Ming, you have to get me back from the place in the future, I have been an adjutant of Zhengsanpin for so many years, I don't want to look at people at the bottom.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Are you bargaining with me?" Didn't I just say it all, will I figure it out for you? ”

"The minister knows the mistake and the minister knows the mistake," Liu Su said in fear: "Then the minister will go to work?" ”

Yang Ming nodded: "There is one more thing, go to Bashu, find a local clan to raise funds to build a few more temples, sell some monks, and get me some money back." ”

Huh~~~ It's a good errand, I'm willing to do it, Liu Su frowned and said, "How much does the prince need?" ”

"It's not that I need it, it's to make up for Luoyang's deficit," Yang Ming said: "You know it in your heart." ”

The corners of Liu Su's mouth twitched, this is embarrassing for me, the deficit of three million stones, how many temples do you have to build to make up for it? And the money is still urgent, so it can't be built, but expanded and repaired.

Now, you not only earned the money of the local wealthy family, but also made the money from selling the monks, and also robbed the Buddha's incense money.

Liu Su calculated the account in his heart, nodded and said, "Before the end of the year, I will get you back a million stone of grain." ”

"So little? How much kickback are you going to take? Yang Ming frowned.

Heaven and earth conscience, I don't plan to take kickbacks, do you think this money is easy to make? Just open your mouth, I'll break my leg down there.

Liu Su Zhengse said: "It's too late to build a new one, so I can only use the excuse of disrepair to instigate the temple host to get some money for the repair of the rich businessmen, as for the sale of monks, I can't sell much money, and the incense money in the temple, it has to be pressured by Honglu Temple, otherwise I can't move this money." ”

All the Taoist temples and Taoist monks in Dasui are under the management of Honglu Temple, and the current Honglu Temple is Fang Xuanling's father Fang Yanqian, which was also arranged by Yang Ming.

As long as Honglu Temple greets you, if you don't pay the money, your temple will be withdrawn, and you are not allowed to receive folk incense, then the temple host will obediently hand over the money.

Yang Ming said: "That's it, I'll let Gao Shilian, the governor of Honglu Temple, go to Bashu with you, and the two of you will work together, remember, don't make a noise." ”

Robbing money from the Buddha and Daozu, do I dare to speak out about this kind of thing? I can't even admit it.

Liu Su nodded hurriedly.

This method is actually disgraceful, because the use of incense money has always been open to the public, which is the daily expenses of monks and the daily maintenance of temples, but in fact, the incense money of some temples is very considerable and cannot be spent at all.

If you can't spend it, who will spend it? People, do you want to say that monks and Taoists are so valuable?

And what Yang Ming has to do is that I will help you spend, if you don't let me help you spend, you won't have to spend any money in the future.

The Great Sui Emperor respected Buddhism, which everyone knew, so all over the world, the number of Buddhist temples was much more than that of Taoist temples, and the incense was also more prosperous.

As many temples as there are, there will be more monks, and monks must also have monk status, but the actual situation is that more than half of the monks in a temple do not have monk status, that is, the court does not recognize it.

People like this are looking forward to naturalization, so they are willing to spend money.

Historically, Comrade Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, and there was a shortage of people and money, what should I do? The temple was demolished and monks were recruited into the army.

Because the monastic land is not taxed, and the monks are exempt from servitude, the temples have hoarded a large amount of land and raised a large number of monks, and the demolition of the temple can recover a lot of acres, and a large number of monks began to pay taxes and serve, which is conducive to the revenue of the national treasury.

The emperor clearly respects the Buddha, why did he demolish the temple again? Because you are not legitimate, you are not devout believers, you are not my disciples of Buddhism, I am purging Buddhism, and I am also clear of Buddhism.

Don't worry that the emperor can't find an excuse, Yang Guang's Dharma name is the Bodhisattva, which is to clean the door on behalf of the Buddha.

This is all light, a little less to make some money back to make up for the deficit, just do, in history, Tang Wuzong destroyed the Buddha, demolished more than 4,600 temples, and returned 26500 lay monks and nuns, this is the real lack of money.

Yang Ming's method, he didn't dare to tell his father, because his father was too radical, he would magnify his method, and he would really provoke all the Buddhists, which was not a good thing.

On the Luoyang side, Yu Wenkai hung up, Liu Su was kicked, and a ministry of industry lost two big officials at once, and if he didn't make up for it quickly, there would be problems in daily operation.

But the Ministry of Engineering, not everyone can do it, this position for the professional requirements are relatively high, pick and choose, can only be Taifu Siqing Yan Bi, their family's knowledge of engineering, is also ancestral.

As for the waiter of the Ministry of Works, he is concurrently served by the right emperor of Shangshu.

This news was brought back by Xin Shixiong, and he is in the East Palace right now.

"So, have you seen Yuwen Jingli?" Yang Ming asked.

Xin Shixiong nodded: "As soon as I got out of Luoyang, I met him, and after chatting a few words, the horse is generally knowledgeable, and it is very suitable to be Li Jing's comfort envoy." ”

"Your comfort envoy along the way, is it decided?" Yang Ming asked.

Xin Shixiong nodded and said: "It's decided, it's Yang Qi, the second son of King Guan, and the person next to Mai Tiecane, called Gao Yixian, a native of Bohai, is now serving in the palace province." ”

"Do you know this Gao Yixian's family background?" Yang Ming asked.

Xin Shixiong said: "It seems that he is connected with Dugu Gong, but it seems to be quite far away." ”

Distant relatives are also relatives, so in this way, the three consolation envoys on Li Jingxi Road can still be handled.

"That Liu Shilong, in whose army?" Yang Ming asked.

Xin Shixiong replied: "This person is now the right man of Shangshu who has received the emperor's proposal, and he is the consolation envoy in the army of Yanshou Gong (Yu Zhongwen). ”

Nima, this bastard really went to Yu Zhongwen's hands?

Liu Shilong, born in Pengcheng Liu (Xuzhou, Jiangsu), is a good friend made by Yang Guang when he was the governor of Yangzhou.

The current collection of books in the secretary province of the Great Sui is as high as 320,000 volumes, and the history records that the Sui Dynasty is the largest collection of books in China, but unfortunately, most of them were destroyed in the war.

Therefore, in ancient times, in addition to the eight disasters such as water and drought, there was also a disaster called war.

Xin Shixiong was very puzzled by the prince's current distress, what happened to Liu Shilong? Does he have a problem?

The problem is big, the defeat of Goguryeo, this person has a huge responsibility.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about you," Yang Ming waved his hand irritably:

"Since Li Jing plans to take risks, you can't hold him back, if he really does it, your West Road can be described as a great achievement, you are the old man of my father's emperor, we have taken care of each other when we were in the Jin Palace, as long as you don't make mistakes, when you talk about merit in the future, your father will not treat you badly, and I will also help here."

Xin Shixiong smiled bitterly: "The people arranged by His Royal Highness, I'm afraid that the ministers can't be dispatched." ”

"You don't have to worry about this," Yang Ming said: "I don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, I arranged them because I was afraid that you would mess around, if you didn't mess around, how could they not listen to your dispatch?" ”

Then it's not easy for me to use it, Xin Shixiong sighed: "Can't Your Highness be accommodating?" ”

"You have this kung fu, it's better to go to the military mansion early and get familiar with them," Yang Ming said with a smile: "As a general, how to deal with your subordinates, you don't need me to teach you, right?" ”

Xin Shixiong nodded helplessly, I hope your gang doesn't work against me.

Actually, no, Yang Ming has already greeted Shi Wanshou and them, as long as Xin Shixiong does not make peace on the front line, they must obey other people's military orders.

I'm here to set things right, not to make trouble.
