The emperor actually had no objection to Yang Guang's behavior, but he just felt that it was too good, so he still beat him.

"Prince, this matter has caused a storm in the city, and there has been a lot of uproar, such a false thing as the Nanyang Gold Mine, don't use it in the future, it hurts integrity, others don't know that you are doing the game, in case someone leaks the news, your reputation as a prince will be damaged."

Yang Guang saluted respectfully: "Father, the son understands that this kind of thing is only once, and there will be no next time." ”

For Yang Guang's modest attitude, Yang Jian is very satisfied.

Then he said: "Since you want to go to the South Seas, things must be arranged properly, you can't manage anything after such a long-distance voyage, you can't help, it's all up to them, so many people, so many ships, and so much money spent, you can't waste it in vain, Yu Wenhua and this kid, I have seen him do things since I was a child, and I think he is not very stable, is it really okay to let him go?" Why don't you let Li Yuan go? ”

Yang Jian named Li Yuan to go, but Yang Guang couldn't let Li Yuan go, because Li Yuan was his most dependent subordinate in Daxing City now.

Yang Guang said: "Father, this kind of thing, Li Yuan's old and steady temperament is inconvenient, everything is unknown to Nanyang, although Li Yuan is steady, but he can't do such a thing that needs to be risky at any time, so Erchen let Yu Wenhua go, he is bold, dare to do anything, and he is a good martial artist, strong and strong, and can withstand the wind and sun." ”

When Yang Guang said this, Yang Jian also nodded: "Since this is the case, then Yu Wenhua will be able to do it, but you have to make it clear to him, don't let him drop the chain." ”

"Father, don't worry, although Yu Wenhua and sometimes look idle and greedy for pleasure, but he has always been serious when he does things, and the results are often good."

Yang Jian agrees with this.

"Prince, there is one more thing, do you really think that going to Nanyang can bring trade income to the Great Sui? It's too far away, it takes too much time, and I'm very worried about whether I can bring back any food. ”

"Father, don't worry, I have stepped up my efforts to study the warehouse for storing grain, as long as I try to prevent the grain from getting damp as much as possible, it should be possible."

"Okay, then you can go."

Yang Guang went out of the palace, in order to go to Nanyang to transport grain back, Yang Guang did renovate the warship in the Ming shipyard, unloaded all the places where the weapons were placed, increased the space, increased the storage area, and then the warships in Nanyang would be divided into two types: transport ships and frigates, and the transport ships did not have combat capabilities, purely for the purpose of transporting goods.

Back at home, the two brothers were already waiting for him.

"Brother Chen, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yang Guang directly supported the two of them and interrupted the politeness of the two of them: "When no one is around, you don't have to guard these false etiquette, do you and my brothers still use this like this?" ”

"Second brother, the number of courtesies must not be less."

The three of them have a harmonious scene, and anyone who sees it has to praise their brothers, friends and brothers.

After sitting down, Yang Guangxian said to Yang Xiu: "Fourth brother, I didn't expect you to have so much money last night, it was really beyond my expectations." ”

"Second brother, what you said is even more polite, my third brother and I said before that we would support you to go to Nanyang, and yesterday's money was also made up by me and the third brother, since I said that it must be done, I have to come up with real money to support the second brother."

The three chatted very happily, and Yang Guang also took Yang Zhao out to show the two uncles.

But pleasure is not the goal, and the two end up on the treasure map.

"Second brother, here's the thing, the third brother and I are very interested in the treasure map, although we all know that this kind of thing is hard to say whether it must be true, but the rumors outside are so boiling, I feel curious, we also want to see."

Yang Guangma looked embarrassed: "I don't think you should look at this thing, you will naturally see it when you set off, and you are not in a hurry." ”

Yang Jun said: "Second brother, we are supporting you with real money, you have to let the two of us have long eyes." ”

"Third brother and fourth brother, you talk about the support of real money, but isn't this the fourth brother, you wrote a word and published it in the newspaper? I haven't seen real money. ”

Yang Xiuyi patted his head: "Oh, look at my memory, how can I forget such an important thing." ”

Then he called his servant and said, "Quickly, go and bring in all the money that is being sent." ”

Yang Xiu said to Yang Guang with a smile: "Second brother, we brought all the silver, but we almost forgot to bring it in, and the conversation was so pleasant that we forgot all about it." ”

Yang Guang laughed: "Fourth brother, look at your politeness." ”

Yang Guang asked Gao Hongde to count the boxes of silver in the courtyard in the house, and Gao Hongde immediately took the order to take a group of people in the house to start counting.

Even if there is money in the house, the scene of so much cash still makes many people call it too exciting.

This action alarmed the crown princess.

Xiao Menglan came out and asked, "Your Highness, what's going on?" ”

"This is the support of the third brother and the fourth brother for going to the South Seas, a full 150,000 taels of silver, supporting the fleet to go to the South Seas, which can build a lot of warships."

Xiao Menglan said with a smile: "I didn't expect the two younger brothers to be so generous, and I don't know how to thank the two younger brothers for their support to His Royal Highness the Prince, so you two will stay in the house for dinner today, and I will cook it myself and cook a table of good dishes for the three of you." ”

Yang Guang said: "Oh, then you two are blessed, Menglan usually doesn't cook." ”

The two thanked each other, but they hated it in their hearts, 150,000 taels of silver, and got a treasure map and a dinner made by the princess, which was too expensive.

Looking at the silver in a courtyard, Yang Guang expected that the two of them would not be able to do the embarrassing thing of paying less, so he invited someone to go back to the central hall and generously showed the treasure map to the two of them.

At the same time, Yang Guang also found that the servant behind Yang Jun was looking more seriously than the two, and he expected that this was the painter invited by the two of them to draw the treasure picture.

Soon understood his intentions, if nothing else, the two wanted to take the treasure map and go treasure hunting themselves, so that the money earned would be his own.

There is still a temptation in the big gold mine.

Yang Guang waited until they studied carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "Third and fourth, have you researched anything?" ”

Yang Xiu frowned and said: "The locations marked on the map are all locations in the South Seas, which is difficult to distinguish if it is not for the locals." ”

"That's right, so I told Yu Wenhua that when I got to Nanyang, I would first find a place where there was a ruler, and communicate with the other party on behalf of the Great Sui, as far as I know, the national strength of the country over there is not strong, and our Great Sui's warships and soldiers will definitely be able to destroy the withered and decayed, and we are not going to fight, just let the other party know my strength, and then let the other party lead the way."

"Someone leads the way, so as not to lose your way."

The two of them nodded, and continued to carefully observe the treasure map, how could such a place that no one had ever been to see the problem?

"The third, the fourth, don't study it so carefully, when you leave, I'll ask someone to send you two, and you can go home and study it."

"Huh? How many of these treasure maps are there? ”

"Of course not, this is the treasure that Ying Yangwei scavenged from the ocean-going merchants, it is said that it is the treasure found by the largest maritime merchant in the South Seas fifty years ago, and only a small piece of land was dug to make him rich, this thing is the only one, but for insurance I asked people to copy some, although it is not as detailed as this cowhide map, but the drawings are almost the same."

The two of them couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, tried their best, and deliberately delayed the time to let the unforgettable person behind Yang Jun take a second look, but they didn't expect them to send it directly.

"This treasure map, I plan to wait until everyone has selected and set off, and then distribute it to everyone to study, but since you are all so interested, I will give it to you as soon as possible, but you have to promise me that this can't be passed on."

Yang Xiu responded: "That's natural, how can we spread it." ”

The treasure map was distributed to the hands of the two of them, and it seemed a bit tasteless to get it so easily.

At dinner time, Yang Guang and his two younger brothers drank heartily, and they drank happily until late at night before sending people away.

Yang Guang, whose face was red because he had drunk a lot of wine, said with a slight smile: "It's rare to let my two younger brothers send me a lot of money, if you let the two of you know that this is a lie to them, I'm afraid you have to fight with him." ”

Xiao Menglan said worriedly: "Your Highness, wouldn't it be good if you didn't let them participate?" ”

"No, these two guys are now thinking about how to take away the crown prince from me every day, how can they not teach me a lesson? Can I still be afraid of them? ”

Xiao Menglan was a little worried, helped Yang Guang back to the room, and ordered someone to put him on the bed.

Nanxi Lian moved lightly and walked into the room.

The night is cool, the moon is thick, and it is the shy look of the girl.

Xuanyan Linan Creek, new spring with new color.

The oblique peak is inserted in the sky, and the strange hole is solid.

The small pond is lightly rippling, and the well is unpredictable.

The immortal household was reopened, and the dew condensed even more.

There are ruins in Dansha, and the trails are even more traceable

Early the next morning, Yang Guang looked at Nanxi beside him, who had already woken up and covered his crimson cheeks with a quilt, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't you plan to get up?" ”

After a good night's sleep, Yang Guang got up.

Time passed day by day, and finally it was the day when the Nanyang business tour group was about to depart, and Yang Guang personally came to the port of Daxing City to bid farewell to Yu Wenhua and.

Of course, it is impossible for the warship to sail from here, at this time, Yu Wenhua has to take all the people of Daxing City who are traveling with him this time, first go to Luoyang to meet the people and horses of Luoyang, and then set sail for the seaside.

The people who chose to sail this time, in addition to the people arranged by the King of Shu and King Qin who paid the money, the nobles, and most of them were traders and a small number of students who were willing to go.

All the vendors' goods are transported by water from their respective places to the sea, and because they have to travel long distances, they are still dominated by cloth, silk, porcelain, jewelry, and other non-perishable things.

Yang Guang personally watched the things be loaded onto the transport ships, and the people around the port also came to watch, looking at the huge fleet lined up, he couldn't help but sigh that the commerce and trade of the Great Sui had actually flourished to such a point?

Yang Guang said to Yu Wenhua and explained: "This time it seems that it is such a simple matter to go to Nanyang, but the composition of the team is very complicated, and the final goal to be achieved is also very many, you need to manage this complex team, and deal with diplomacy, shipping, commerce, military and other things, the difficulty is not lower than the conquest of Goguryeo." ”

Hearing Yang Guang say this, Yu Wenhua was a little more motivated, he was just going to make a name for himself and make a contribution.

If the difficulty of this trip is too low, it will not be able to build a meritorious work.

Yang Guang naturally knew Yu Wenhua's thoughts.

Then he said: "I have also arranged for you to follow the authors of two newspapers, they will record what you have seen and heard in Nanyang, as well as the maritime trade routes, and after returning to China, they will be revised into a book, called the Great Sui Maritime Trade Collection, and your name will also be in these books, and all those who take the sea route in the future will have to use this as the standard." ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenhua was even more excited, such a masterpiece will still be his name, which is enough to last for a hundred years.

And he understands very well that Yang Guang is telling the truth, what he wants to do is a groundbreaking move, Yu Wenshu told him that what can be compared with Zhang Qian who went to the Western Regions, Zhang Qian has been famous for centuries, and he should be like this.

On the side, his father Yu Wenshu also said to him earnestly: "This trip, no matter what, come back safely, understand?" ”

"Father, the child understands."

In the end, Yang Guang explained to Yu Wenhua: "This voyage, if there are foreign envoys to the Great Sui, they will also bring it back, only the envoys can make commerce and trade prosperous." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Countless ships on the harbor set sail, and the people of Daxing City witnessed this spectacle.

Countless merchant ships lined up and slowly left the port of Daxing City and walked downstream along the canal.

Li Yuan came to Yang Guang's side at this time and whispered two words: "Your Highness, the news that has just come back, on the side of the coastal port, six warships belonging to the command of the King of Shu have set sail, and they are his private fleet, and they are not equipped with the guns of the Great Sui, but there should be firearms in the cabin, and the course is unknown." ”

Yang Guang nodded.

Not surprisingly, these warships were sent by Yang Xiu and Yang Jun to find the big gold mines in the South Seas, and they set off before Yang Guang, according to the footsteps of Yu Wenhua and the fleet, it would take at least half a month before they could officially set sail, and they were quite a bit ahead.

But it doesn't matter, just let them get ahead, there are no big gold mines anyway.

Back at home, the matter of Nanyang came to an end, and Yang Xiu and Yang Jun's eyes were also attracted to the past.

Yang Guang found Li Yuan, Li Jing, Yang Xuangan, and Yuan Tiangang.

The three of them didn't know why Yang Guang valued this Yuan Tiantian's younger brother so much, and directly let him participate in their meeting at the highest level.

Yang Guang opened his mouth at this time, and the first person to ask was Yuan Tiangang: "Xiao Yuan, how is Nan Chen's intelligence?" ”
