Yang Ming has received a lot of reports in recent days, most of which are from Liaodong.

There are Pei Ju's, Yang Yue's, Feng An's, and Yuwenshu's.

Pei Ju Yang Yue mainly reported some things that the military department would not report, while Yu Wenshu told Yang Ming, I left you a big beauty, and she is already on the way to send it to you, you can take it.

The review of the entire war by the Ministry of War has not yet ended, and the letter written by Li Jing to Yang Ming is still halfway through, so Yang Ming does not know the detailed process yet.

But anyway, Goguryeo has taken it, although it is foreseeable that in the next twenty years, that place will not be too stable, but it doesn't matter, take your time, let the Goguryeo civilians really recognize the Great Sui and integrate into the Central Plains, it will take time, this is not in a hurry.

Feng An's letter is about his daughter, Yang Ming has received his father's will here, which means that he should accept Feng Yuzhi and settle down well.

Feng Yuzhi was originally a guest of the East Palace, and he was neither humble nor arrogant in front of Yang Yinjiang, but now he can't do it, he is a wife, and a concubine of yours has seen a wife, and there are more rules.

Among the ladies of the East Palace, only Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi can quarrel with Yang Yinjiang, and no one else can.

"Father should be about to leave for Beijing, but according to the time, it shouldn't be possible to come back before the year, so don't we need to be too anxious to prepare now?" Yang Yinjiang asked in the dormitory.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Most of my father is going to spend the New Year in Jinyang Palace, Li Yuan, this kid will soon ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs for money, so Zhang Luo can prepare, although it is difficult this year, but it has finally survived, I hope there will be no major events next year." ”

Yang Yinjiang smiled, came to Yang Ming's side, knelt down, hugged her husband and said:

"Others don't know how hard it is, I know that you are in charge of the capital, supervising the country, and you are doing all the big and small things, worrying about it and working hard, it really hurts you."

Yang Ming grabbed his wife with his backhand and hugged him on his lap:

"I've also worked hard for you, but Xuangan bought land in Shandong, don't mention it to him now, just treat it as if you don't know."

Yang Yinjiang sighed helplessly: "I will drill when I see a crack, I am really convinced of him, but I don't warn him now, for fear that he will be more presumptuous in the future." ”

"It doesn't matter," Yang Ming said with a smile: "It's just a cheap purchase of acres of land, Wanshi and Yuanqing are on the front line, Yang Yue and Xuangan are also with the army, this is all meritorious, and Xuangan lent grain to Zhang Xutuo, this is also a credit, some small things, no one will care." ”

"I don't care what others think, I'm just afraid that you'll be unhappy," Yang Yinjiang asked as she looked her husband in the eye.

She knows her husband, but she doesn't dare to say that she fully understands that among all the women of Yang Ming, if she really wants to say that she is dead set on Yang Ming, it is actually Yang Yinjiang, Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi, and the others more or less have some political flavor.

Yang Ming frowned and said: "I'm not happy, it must be a little, but it's not good to blame him, after all, the merits outweigh the faults, some small mistakes can be tolerated, since you want to tolerate it, you can't mention it, if you mention it, you don't tolerate it, understand?" ”

Yang Yinjiang smiled and nodded: "I listen to you, if you need to warn him, you tell me, I'll do it." ”

Yang Ming nodded.

Yang Yinjiang said: "Feng Yuzhi has been crowned the crown prince Liangyuan by her father, I settled her in the Funing Hall of Yiqiu Palace, and the maids who came with her were also left, and according to the regulations, she was given a full amount of palace maid slaves, and Shuyi moved to Yiqiu Palace to live, as the master of the first palace, what do you think?" ”

"Yes," Yang Ming nodded.

The Guanghua Hall of the East Palace is the dormitory of Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang, the master of Yichun Palace is Pei Shuying, Yan Xiaotang, Wei Xianhui, and Li Xiuning are all here, Yiqiu Palace is Chen Shuyi, and Dugu Fenger and Feng Yuzhi will be settled here.

In fact, there are not many women in Yang Ming, of course, he is still young, and there will be one in the future.

Yang Ming said again: "Take Gao Yue back, it's not appropriate to always let her stay in the palace alone." ”

Yang Yinjiang smiled and nodded: "Yes, but she has a special identity and is a little older, so it is not easy to give birth." ”

"I know this," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Gao Yue is the daughter of Gao Wei, the queen of the old Qi, and is not suitable for being pregnant with the bloodline of the Yang family, not to mention that she has a child at that age, the risk is relatively large, don't look at the history of Yang Miaozhi who gave birth to a child at the age of 44, and gave birth to three safely, but this is a very small number after all.

In fact, in Dasui, it is very dangerous to have a child after thirty, of course, it refers to the first child, if it is born before the age of thirty, it does not matter.

The Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty personally drove a personal expedition to defeat Goguryeo, which has spread in Beijing.

The advantage of winning the war is that the civilians who have been oppressed very badly will also be very happy, celebrating wildly, and they are happier than the New Year, especially if there are soldiers who are on an expedition with the army at home, and winning the battle means that their relatives are likely to survive and even make meritorious contributions.

As long as you can return safely, you will definitely be able to bring back some good things, and life at home will be better.

That's why, once the Sui army captures a place, it will definitely loot on a large scale, everyone is for their own families, and the reward given by the court is very different from what you snatched back.

If you snatch a gold necklace and it hasn't been searched by your boss, then your family can eat and drink spicy food.

No matter how difficult it is for the imperial court, it has to allocate some money to come out and reward the people of the city with wine and meat, so that they can celebrate well.

"How much money is left in the account of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" At the next day's court meeting, Yang Ming asked Cui Zhongfangdao.

Cui Zhongfang said: "There are still four million, of which two million will be used for the celebration after His Majesty's return to Beijing, and the reward and pension of this soldier is expected to be about five million, that is to say, there is already a deficit of two million at present, Li Yuan's side of the Jinyang Palace, a deficit of 700,000, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has not allocated money to him." ”

According to the system, the national treasury must keep at least 7 million as an emergency reserve every year, which cannot be moved, but the cost of the expedition to Goguryeo is too great, and half of the money for the guarantee is spent.

Yang Ming's face was ugly and said: "When will this year's taxes be collected?" ”

Cui Zhongfang said: "It varies from place to place, the fast end of the year is fine, and the slow one, before March of the next year, how can it be paid, but this year's situation is special, I'm afraid the tax will be very unsatisfactory." ”

"Right now, we urgently need to allocate money to reward the people of Beijing," Yang Xiong interjected: "Can't you allocate a little first?" At the end of this year, Your Majesty will most likely not be able to come back, so he will first embezzle the money from the celebration. ”

Cui Zhongfang looked at Yang Ming: "This has to be nodded by the prince." ”

"Your Majesty's personal acquisition is a great celebration of the country, and this money must be obtained," Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "Use the two million, urge the customs to pay taxes this year, and let the local officials below collect them as soon as possible." ”

"Yes," Cui Zhongfang nodded.

"It's not proper," Wei Jin, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is returning to the south, and you will definitely go to Jinyang, Li Yuan is afraid that he will soon ask the court for money, where can I get this money?" ”

Yang Xiong and Cui Zhongfang suddenly drooped their faces.

Don't the two of them know that Li Yuan will ask for money? That's why the prince spent all the money early and let Li Yuan figure out his own way.

Celebration of this thing, just hold one in Beijing, there is no need to do it in Jinyang, you don't look at how much money there is in the treasury? Can there be extravagance and waste now?

But the money that was given to the people of Beijing had to be spent.

So no one mentioned Jinyang's matter, they planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb and spend the money first, but as soon as Wei Jin opened his mouth, the money couldn't be spent.

There was silence in the hall, and the cold sweat in Wei Jin's head came out, and he was about to say the wrong thing.

Li Yuan asks for money to entertain the emperor, and Yang Ming spends money to reward the people, which is important?

Of course, the emperor is important, so you have to prepare for the money that Li Yuan is about to ask for, and you don't need to prepare because Li Yuan hasn't opened his mouth yet, but Wei Jin said it first.

Yang Ming said helplessly: "Set aside one million in advance, and wait for Li Yuan to ask for money." ”

Cui Zhongfang glanced at Wei Jin and nodded: "This money really needs to be prepared in advance." ”

Taifu Temple Yuanshou said: "In this way, the money to reward the people of Jingshi is still one million, and the refining field on the east side of the river should be able to solve this problem." ”

Yang Ming frowned and said: "There is no place for soldiers now, Hedong's output is already being pressed down, and in the next few years, refined steel will not be sold, where will the money come from?" ”

Yuan Shou said: "Soldiers are useless, there are civilians, now the output of weapons is shrinking, but civilian appliances are stepping up mass production, many businessmen in the south have gone to Hedong, hoping to buy a batch of tools and farm tools, Yun Dingxing is talking to them, but the prince has to take the idea." ”

There is a saying that the refining field is an official supervision, an official office, and an official sale, and who it can sell to and who it cannot sell to.

According to the law, the wealthy lords are not allowed to own weapons, but they have them, and this cannot be stopped, and Yang Guang can't control it.

It's not impossible to sell to merchants, but it is necessary to supervise that they are not allowed to melt down the tools they buy and cast weapons, although the refining yard of the Great Sui is governmental, but isn't there a private refining yard like Yun Dingxing? There must be one on the southern side.

Yang Ming pondered for a moment and said: "The officials will say hello to the below, and strictly order the county guards to inspect the jurisdiction, once a private kiln is found, the government will be immediately confiscated, and those who open the kiln privately will be killed, and those who privately cast weapons will be killed, and those who should be caught will be caught, and those who should be killed will be killed." ”

It is equivalent to the imperial court monopolizing the iron market, and if the people want to buy it, they can only buy it from the imperial court, and they can't use it indiscriminately if they buy it.

The imperial court not only earned money, but also played a role in maintaining stability.

Of course, it's okay like Yun Dingxing, because his refining kiln is in Guanzhong, and the court is watching it very closely, so he doesn't dare to mess around.

Yang Ming's words, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground, he has long been numb to this.

"Tell Yun Dingxing to raise the price up," Yang Ming said lightly: "Let him quickly get the money together and send it to Jingshi." ”

Yuan Shou nodded: "The minister will send someone to inform immediately." ”
