Chapter 1337 Peace of mind
After the singing and dancing ended, the generals took the girls to bathe and go to bed. Yang Guang left Wang Yan to talk with Yu Wenzhi.

Yu Wenzhi has learned his lesson now. If Wang Yan can't beat him with his bad words, he will ignore him. Otherwise, he will be the only one who suffers. After all, he can't beat him or scold him. If Wang Yan messes with his business, Wang Yan dares to challenge Yu Wenshu's conduct. He might even kill the Yuwen family's property.

Wang Yan didn't have much stuff anyway, and his family was poor, so he wasn't afraid of anything. The Yuwen family had a large family to support, and they couldn't afford to make trouble.

So Yu Wenzhi stopped his actions and regretted why he had been so rude before.

Yu Wenzhi didn't make trouble, and Wang Yan didn't bother to scold him. He just drank the soup prepared by the chef of the palace and ate. This was because he was afraid that people would only drink and not eat a few bites of food during the banquet, so he prepared it to fill their stomachs and sleep.

Seeing Wang Yan eating and drinking heartlessly, Yang Guang also took a big sip of the delicious soup.

He asked, "Zi Yan, are you angry today?"

"I'm not angry, I just feel uncomfortable." Wang Yan seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, "Who does Yang Su think he is? He also follows Yu Wenzhi's example and gives me orders? It's because Your Highness is here, otherwise..."

"What else? Are you going to beat him again? Call him an old dog?" Yang Guang glared.

Wang Yan straightened his neck and said: "I won't beat him, otherwise where will the dignity of our Great Sui be? But I will definitely scold him, he is also an old dog. Your Highness, don't stare at me. I scolded Yuwen Shu, so why can't I scold Yang Su? Is that fair to Huaji?"

Yu Wenzhi took a deep breath and glared at Wang Yan with gritted teeth, wishing he could stare him to death...

Yang Guang glanced at Yu Wenzhi, then scolded Wang Yan for a few words, and then said: "Yang Su still needs to be fought for, and we should keep in touch more in the future. I see that you and Shi Wansui are having a good chat?"

"We get along well." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "We cursed Yang Su for half the night."

Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh. He saw Wang Yan and Shi Wansui whispering and laughing.

He asked, "How is it? Can you pull it over?"

"We still need to get in touch. We are just strangers now, so it's hard to talk about deep things. I will try to get closer to him in the future. He is a good guy. He doesn't look down on others right away. He is much better than that old dog Yang Su."

Wang Yan gave Shi Wansui a high evaluation.

Yang Guang knew Wang Yan's problem. He was hostile to the sons of noble families, especially those who were arrogant and looked down on others. Not to mention the distant ones, even the imperial soldiers stationed in Jiangdu, many of whom were sons of noble families from the southern wealthy families. After a few months, only two or three of them were still in the army. The rest could not stand Wang Yan's training and refused to work.

Because if they continue, they might die. They have a strong premonition...

"Okay, you should protect him more. Shi Wansui is greedy for money, so don't be stingy with your money." Yang Guang instructed.

Wang Yan nodded in agreement, and then Yang Guang let him go.

In the fight for the throne, Yang Guang didn't worry about Wang Yan, and every day he found ways to make trouble for Yang Yong. He slandered him in various ways, and even made up rhymes among the people, and tried to make Yang Yong look bad in front of Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo.

Gossip really works. Yang Yong would be scolded every now and then, and everything went smoothly.

Yang Guang had many friends in the court and now he had the support of the wealthy families in Jiangnan, so he had some power.

At this time, the aristocratic families were mainly divided into three major forces.

The first is the Guanlong Group. Yang Jian's rise to power was mainly due to the Guanlong Group. The later Li family was also supported by the Guanlong Group.

The second group was the aristocratic families in Shandong and Hebei, also known as the northern aristocratic families. These people were more powerful than the Guanlong Group, with a longer family heritage and a deeper foundation. Yang Jian sought balance by using the Guanlong Group and the military meritorious nobles who followed him to suppress these people.

The third group is the wealthy families in the south, all of them are big families of the State of Chen. Some of them surrendered long ago, some surrendered after the war, some rose after the war, and some have some strength. Otherwise, they would not have been able to carry out a vigorous rebellion.

However, the southern forces were not that strong, and they were suppressed by Yang Jian as soon as they emerged. The noble families in Shandong and Hebei were more difficult to deal with, and Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and later Li Shimin and Li Zhi could deal with them.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were rebel kings in various places. The rebel forces in the north were strong, but those in the south were much weaker.

But then again, when it comes to the aristocratic families, Huang Chao has the most experience, and it's all based on experience...

A few days after the army returned to the capital, the imperial edict was issued to the Marquis of Jiangning's Mansion.

It was an arranged marriage.

He praised Wang Yan and promised Princess Qionghua to marry him. The wedding took place two years later, in the autumn of 593. At the same time, Yang Jian also gave her a large house near the imperial city as a marquis' residence, as the original house was too small and it was unfair to his daughter.

After sending off the person who announced the decree, Wang Yan looked at the happy Xiao Mei and asked, "Are you relieved?"

"I'm relieved. If this thing doesn't work out, I can't help but worry about it." Xiao Mei said, "We rely on the King of Jin, and now we have the princess. We are completely dependent on the royal family, which has raised our status. It will be much easier to do things in the future."

"That doesn't stop others from looking down on us because of our background..." Wang Yan shook his head with amusement.

This was actually Wang Yan’s first experience with identity issues.

In the late Ming Dynasty, he was the leader of the border troops. He kept the enemy at bay and only followed orders but not declarations.

In the Song Dynasty, the country had already been plowed through by Huang Chao. The economy was developed and people's minds were open. Although they had their concerns, they were not too serious.

During the Three Kingdoms period, he was simply the leader of the Yellow Turban uprising. He marched all the way to Liaodong to establish his own regime, and those who looked down on him could not even get close to him.

Only here, the aristocratic families are prosperous, have a deep foundation, and are intertwined, and truly share the world with the emperor. Family background is particularly important, so that Wang has been in this business for a long time, and he is looked down upon wherever he goes. Everyone wants to show off their family background and put on airs in front of him.

What a novel experience...

"My husband, don't worry. As Heaven moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement. Your ambitions are lofty, and you cannot be compared with those who claim to be of noble birth." Xiao Mei cheered Wang Yan up.

Wang Yan laughed: "I am not worried. One day I will trample on all the nobles and show them who is more noble."

"My husband has great ambitions." Xiao Mei continued to provide emotional value. She was always so considerate.

"How's business going lately?"

"It's good. The big families are very supportive of Jixiangju's business." Xiao Mei said, "They know that my husband is the confidant of King Jin, so they are all trying to befriend us."

"Our products are really good. Who else can make them besides us?"

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Madam, think about sending some of our things to Shi Wansui's family during the New Year. I get along well with him, and we will have to deal with each other in the future."

"Win him over?" "Of course, he is a serious general. With his support, it will be more powerful."

Wang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the little kid who was walking crookedly in the yard with Lvliu, "It's true that we get along well. We can make friends even if we can't win him over. He's a warrior, simple-minded, and doesn't boast about his family background. We can be friends."

"Then I'll prepare some things and have them sent over."

"That's not necessary. Wouldn't that mean we should curry favor with him? We can just take the initiative to send him gifts during the New Year holidays. It's enough to have some exchanges."

"The soldiers are back now. My husband will be busy too, right?"

"It's not that busy. I just need to suppress mountain bandits and river bandits. Now the army is passing through, they have to be quiet for a while, and it will take two or three months before we can take action. I just need to handle the post-war military merit affairs for the Yangzhou soldiers. There is not much to do, just like before."

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Madam, please be busy. I have to go to the military camp to take a look."

After saying this, Wang Yan rode out on horseback with a few of his men and went to the military camp.

Although he did not fight in the war, he was the highest military commander in Yangzhou and was responsible for arranging and handling all post-war affairs, promotions, pensions, filling vacancies, etc.

It's filled with a lot of paperwork and people's judgment. Who is ours, who is disobedient, who is ignorant, who needs to be dealt with. Who gets promoted, who doesn't, and who doesn't get promoted, and the emotions of those who don't get promoted need to be taken care of, and so on.

But this was nothing to Wang Yan. He visited and comforted every person recuperating in the wounded camp, and even personally examined and prescribed medicine, and taught the soldiers how to provide first aid.

He also talked to everyone who should have been promoted to determine their preferences and decide whether they should be promoted.

What made Wang Yan feel relieved was that the soldiers didn't care about that. They would follow whoever they liked. The middle and lower-level officers, although they had some connections, didn't have such a strong background. In the past, they were bullied by the local bigwigs. Now they have a unified understanding.

So Wang Yan did not act like a bad guy. He arranged the promotion list fairly and justly and reported the pension amounts.

The troops returned, and the military control in Jiangdu was disbanded. Wang Yan then began to truly fulfill his duties, reorganizing the troops, arranging training matters, and so on.

However, it is the busy farming season now, so we have to make plans in advance. Except for a small number of regular troops, most of them have gone back home to farm.

Wang Yan was not involved in production, and other matters were steadily advancing and developing. With nothing to do, he went out to visit various places in Yangzhou. He went to various towns and villages where people lived, chatted with the soldiers, and solved some of their life problems.

For example, if someone's family has no money and cannot find a wife, Wang Yan will give them a low-interest loan for ten or twenty years, and they only need to pay back a small portion every year.

The ancients may not have been loyal, but they certainly would not have dared not to pay back the general's money...

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a question of money. Of course, the ultimate issue is the problem of geographical advantages and output. If there is little land and little output, life will naturally be difficult.

So Wang Yan once again distributed young seedlings of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs to them, and sorted out some breeding techniques, such as how to raise them, how to avoid diseases, etc. These were the experiences summarized by the farmers under him in the past two years.

Give it to the soldiers to raise at home, and then he will buy it back when the time comes. Of course, it will also cover the cost, leaving them with some surplus, and always more income.

As for the families whose children died, he would not charge them any money, and the Marquisate would bear all the consequences.

If you do the math, he still made money in the end, but not as much as you might think. But in the process, the family of the soldiers had more money, more eggs, which could be used to supplement nutrition and sell for money, and the mansion also had meat. No one lost money, everyone made money.

As long as there is no widespread epidemic, there will be no compensation. Even when an epidemic occurs, people have already made a lot of money. After dealing with it, the Marquis's Mansion will give some fresh water and it will start running again.

However, Wang Yan still tried to avoid such problems. He particularly emphasized public health. When he went deep into towns and villages, he proposed cleaning and keeping clean to avoid diseases. It was okay if livestock died, but it would be bad if people contracted infectious diseases.

Although at this time, people do not interact much and live in sparsely populated areas, so there is no risk of widespread infection, it is still not good and should be avoided if possible.

At the same time, Wang Yan also got a batch of cattle from the grassland. He has been raising cattle and raising more cattle. After all, cattle have always been an important productive force in ancient times. There is a difference between having cattle and not having cattle.

The skinny old man was pulling the plow in front, walking with difficulty. The strong ox, with a ring on its nose, was walking slowly and easily...

In short, Wang Yan traveled around Yangzhou and won the hearts of the soldiers and the people. He was well-known for his virtue. People said that the general was a good general and that they lived a good life following him.

Wang Yan always waved his hands and said that it was all because of the concern of His Royal Highness Prince Jin. He was also working for His Royal Highness Prince Jin. Everyone should remember the good things about Prince Jin and the royal family.

In this way, it is not considered as privately favored by the people, and no one can say anything. But in fact, none of these palace soldiers and common people have ever seen the King of Jin, nor do they know any royal family. They just know that the general is good.

More realistically, no one cares about the will of the people. After all, this is not the will of the people. The will of the aristocratic families is the will of the people.

But Yang Guang was also very satisfied with Wang Yan. He knew Wang Yan's actions and sent people to find out. He was a suspicious person. He also knew that Wang Yan always spoke well of him behind his back, which made him very pleased.

Although Wang Yan has a hot temper and especially dislikes the style of aristocratic families, he is loyal to him and is the most loyal person among his subordinates, no one else.

In fact, he has always been very confident in Wang Yan. Emotionally, he supported Wang Yan. In terms of interests, he gave Wang Yan many benefits. Politically, Wang Yan had no choice but to follow him to the end.

He just wanted to better control his subordinates out of habit. He had a perverted desire for control...

Not to mention the daily loyalty he performed to Yang Guang, after visiting Yangzhou, the busy farming season was almost over. The mountain bandits and water bandits in Yangzhou also re-emerged and became active, and some were so bold as to rob Wang.

So General Wang launched a tough anti-bandit war in Yangzhou. All the well-known mountaintops were flattened, and warships were used to clean up the Yangtze River, chasing and killing the pirates.

They not only trained the soldiers, but also eliminated the bandits and gave the brothers red envelopes for the New Year. At the same time, Wang Yan and Yang Guang also achieved results, and everyone looked happy.

Only the local wealthy families were unhappy because Wang Yan had extorted a lot of money and grain from them...

The situation here is not much better than that in Bingzhou. It's just a few strong men who gather in the mountains and forests, and then they are taken in by the rich and powerful as dogs. Otherwise, how did the previous rebellion start? These various bandits are also deeply involved.

It’s just that he was beaten away before, and now that the limelight has passed, he has popped up again.

Wang Yan caught them and beat them, but they were no match for the regular army in armor and weapons, so Wang Yan got evidence and then loyally reported it to Yang Guang. With Yang Guang's tacit approval, he blackmailed the local wealthy families and allowed the Yangzhou soldiers to have a prosperous year.

At the same time, he also came into conflict with the big households here...

This is what Yang Guang wants to see. If even Wang Yan is lured away, how can he sleep well?
After all, Wang Yan was extremely brave, invincible, and good at leading troops in battle. If things got really extreme, Wang Yan would really enjoy killing people...

Therefore, Wang Yan must be under his command and someone who is against the aristocratic families. Only then will he feel at ease...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
