Chapter 1347: Duke of Danyang
There was no other entertainment when they returned to the city. After all, Wang Yan had ridden all the way and was covered in dust. He needed to take a good rest. Besides, he had to wait for the other troops to come back so that everyone could celebrate together.

However, Wang Yan still accompanied Yang Guang to the Eastern Palace first. Although there were no activities, Yang Guang had already asked people to prepare a lot of delicious food, and the two of them ate at a large round table.

There is no doubt that this was influenced by Wang Yan, because it is indeed more convenient and more intimate than eating separately. Therefore, the upper class society of the Sui Dynasty is parallel, mainly depending on who you eat with, the relationship, the number of people, the specific occasion, etc.

Yang Guang poured wine for Wang Yan, with a smile on his face, as bright as a chrysanthemum: "Zi Yan, you fought well in this battle. I'm telling you in advance that your reward has been decided, and you will be promoted to the Duke of Danyang County.

In fact, I wanted to directly confer upon you the title of Duke of Wu, but my father said that since you are my person, I will give you a higher title after I ascend to the throne. I am afraid that your hard work and contributions are so great that there is no more title for you. You said that my father is really like that. Do we still need this between you and me?"

Wang Yan took a sip of wine, and the word loyalty was written all over his face.

He said, "Your Highness, let alone conferring the title of Duke of Danyang on me, even if you don't, I have no complaints. What I said outside the city is what I thought. I can't fight a big battle like this alone. Fortunately, thanks to your support and trust, I, a small soldier, can have the wealth and honor I have today. With the marriage of Princess Qionghua, I am already honored and favored, and I am already rich and powerful. Why do I need to ask for so much more?
Now I have children around me, a virtuous wife and filial children, and I just want to enjoy myself. I don't care about any reward. Now I will be made a marquis, destroy the Turks, and leave my name in history. This is enough, who wants more?
"I only hope to help Your Highness succeed to the throne, so as not to disappoint Your Highness' trust and friendship. If I am useful, I will go to the battlefield. If I am not useful, I will be a rich and idle person in Daxing City, living comfortably for decades. Isn't that wonderful, Your Highness?"

Looking at Wang Yan's loyal face and listening to his sincere words, Yang Guang was stunned for a moment.

He had known that Wang Yan was like this, but he was still like this now, which made Yang Guang feel that the light from Wang Yan was a little dazzling.

He laughed and poured wine for Wang Yan again: "What nonsense are you talking about? A rich and idle person? Enjoying a carefree life for decades? You are dreaming. The Turks are gone, but there are still the Western Regions, Goguryeo, and the vast world overseas. You are so capable, can I let you enjoy the good life in Daxing? I still want to enjoy the good life."

"Anyway, I will only follow your Highness's lead."

"This flattery is not good. Listen for yourself. Does it sound good?" Yang Guang scolded with a smile, raised his glass to drink with Wang Yan, and asked about some things on the battlefield.

It was impossible for the people here to know everything that happened, they only had a general idea. They only read the battle report, but no matter how detailed the report was, it was not as clear as the head coach Wang Yan.

At the same time, Yang Guang also wanted to understand which people were available. After the war, those big families began to show their talents, and Yang Guang also had a lot of troubles.

After chatting for a while, Yang Guang turned and asked, "Zi Yan, have you had any contact with the King of Han?"

"No contact." Wang Yan shook his head. "The King of Han was in charge of the armies, but he was not at the front line, but in Taiyuan. When I went there, I went directly to Yanmen. The military situation was urgent and I couldn't delay. When I was on my way back, the King of Han invited me, but I didn't go."

Yang Guang laughed: "My little brother has many ideas but is timid."

"You are far inferior to him. When we defeated Chen, you were also in charge of the troops, but you always followed the army and never had a peaceful time. So the King of Han, I heard that he has a lot of complaints about your being the crown prince?"

"We are all family, sons of our father, the emperor, and our mother, so it is normal to have complaints. Not to mention the King of Han, these good brothers are not happy that I became the crown prince, haha..."

Yang Guang's smile was sinister, and I wonder how long he had been holding a grudge.

It's really hard to be a brother with him. He can kill all your good brothers.

Wang Yan expressed his loyalty and loyalty: "Your Highness, let the Yuwen family do this, let them find a way to frame them, so that these princes can be more stable, don't cause trouble, don't affect the overall situation, and ruin the fate of our Great Sui Dynasty."

"You really haven't forgotten the Yuwen family. You hold a grudge too much."

"Your Highness, I remember hatred, but I remember kindness even more. Your Highness is the only one in the world who treats me well. This time, in order not to cause trouble for Your Highness, I didn't kill many of the children of those wealthy families."

"Yes, yes, I know you are loyal. Come on, let's drink to victory!"

Yang Guang was drinking with Wang Yan and talking nonsense with amusement.

After having such a meal, Wang Yan left the East Palace and returned to his home.

It was naturally lively again when we got home. We washed and dressed carefully, played with the children who looked a little unfamiliar to us after not seeing them for half a year, and then the whole family started eating and drinking together happily.

"Husband, has the emperor said what kind of reward he will give? What position will he give me?" Qionghua asked curiously.

Xiao Mei beside him said nothing, picking up food for the child, but her beautiful eyes looked over.

"I was promoted to Duke of Danyang. As for the position, it should not have been decided yet, otherwise His Highness would have told me. You also know that our family is not well-received, so it is definitely difficult to arrange for everyone to have their own position."

Wang Yan said this with great self-awareness, but he smiled indifferently.

His situation is indeed difficult. Since he does not come from a wealthy family, has made great contributions to the destruction of a country, and has prestige in the army, it is really difficult to arrange a position for him.

He certainly cannot be put into the army unless there is a war, let alone the army guarding Daxing. Wang Yan's military ability is too strong. Even if the troops guarding Daxing have been rotating, he can't resist his strong ability and high prestige, which makes him even more prosperous in the army.

If he were to arrange some administrative positions, it would be stealing food from others. If it was too low, it would not be in line with Wang Yan's status, and if it was too high, others would definitely oppose it.

It was not possible not to arrange for him, after all, Wang Yan had worked hard and made great contributions, and so many eyes were watching him. Especially the poor children, how would they feel about Wang Yan being so awesome and having no place to work?
It also involves the question of the emperor's temperament. If Wang Yan is not given a suitable position that matches his status, how will others view the emperor? The four words "mean and ungrateful" are inevitable.

"Those wealthy families are really abominable." Qionghua was very unhappy. Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. On this point, she and Wang Yan are on the same front.

Wang Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't complain in front of the children. If you complain too much, you might break your heart. You should take a long-term view of things."

"Oh my, my husband has written a poem." Xiao Mei opened her eyes wide in surprise and praised him, "My husband is amazing."

"Isn't this because you two taught me well? I read a lot of books and my brain became active. I came up with these two lines of poetry just by feeling, haha..."

Qionghua smiled and asked, "My husband, this sentence is written with great spirit, what about the whole poem?"

Xiao Mei burst out laughing and patted Wang Yan lightly: "Princess, didn't you listen to what your husband said? You just came up with two lines of poetry out of inspiration."

Wang Yan nodded very honestly: "It's not easy to say just these two sentences. I still need to cultivate my character and read more."

"But these two lines of poetry, my husband, are really well-written, enough to be passed down through the ages. Were they written on the battlefield?" Xiao Mei asked curiously.

"Yes. Temporary success or failure, honor or disgrace, gain or loss, are nothing. We should have a long-term vision. Although we fought quickly, the battlefield is full of dangers and not always smooth sailing. But so what? In the end, the Sui Dynasty won the victory and the Turks were eliminated. So let's complain less. The past cannot be undone, but life still has to go on. I don't pursue high positions or great achievements. I will be content if our whole family lives a peaceful and prosperous life."

Wang Yan said this to Yang Jian and Yang Guang to show his harmlessness and loyalty. He was consistent and loyal.

After dinner, Wang Yan of course had some intimacy with Qionghua first. After all the hard work, it was not until the next morning that he had the opportunity to talk alone with Xiao Mei, who had gotten up early.

"How is the resettlement going?" Wang Yan asked.

"We have already taken in several hundred remnants of the army, and including their families, there are nearly two thousand people. Thanks to the fact that we have bought a lot of land over the years, we are finally able to arrange for them. This war was too big, and there were all kinds of people, including Turks. My husband, do you think we can take care of these Turks?"

"We are all human beings. Who respects them? Who lets them live a good life? Don't you understand this? Everything we do is aboveboard. No one has done anything shady. The only reason we used them was to gather a crowd to kill people. It's not secret and it's nothing serious. The main purpose is to show the Turks how a certain family treats them."

Xiao Mei covered her mouth and smiled falsely: "My husband just killed them."

"Hey, two countries are at war, how can we establish authority without killing people? Now we have real governance, and after a few decades we will all be one family, and we will all be our people."

"I don't know if I can live for several decades. But I heard from the caravan that my husband is very popular over there. People like him and fear him."

"It's a mixture of fear and joy. The order is very important."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at her, and then talked to Xiao Mei about business, land, etc., which were the foundation of rebellion. Xiao Mei knew the specific numbers of the family assets, the stored money, grain, weapons, etc. better than Wang Yan. Xiao Mei was concerned about these things, and of course she did them according to Wang Yan's instructions.

In general, they are a pair of dogs and bitches who are eager to rebel. The man makes the decisions and the woman controls everything.

There are no secrets in everything. As long as you want to check, you can find out. Therefore, everything in the Wang family is clear and transparent. There are a lot of grain shops that supply refined grain to the royal family and wealthy families. Salt has salt permits and refined salt supplied to the royal family and wealthy families. Other sugar, oil, etc. are also serious businesses that are related to people's livelihood.

As for weapons and armor, this is a taboo, but Yang Jian and Yang Guang are also aware of it. After all, overseas explorations are all done by Wang Yan's family. How can they explore without armor and armor?

This is something that everyone knows.

No one wants to spend more money, and everyone wants to get something ready-made, so of course they have to give Wang Yan some convenience. No one makes a fuss about these things.

Besides, the private storage of weapons and armors is something that can be found and not found. They are all wealthy families with a history of dozens or hundreds of years. Who doesn’t have some stock? It’s just a matter of quantity. Wang Yan’s family has more than a thousand private soldiers, all of whom are working at sea. This number is not enough to kill ten times...

The excitement of returning home lasted for two days, and everyone got used to the days when the head of the family returned.

Wang Yan's life returned to normal. He read books, played with his children, walked around Daxing City, and felt the ever-changing landscape.

The changes in Daxing were not small, especially for Wang Yan, who had hardly stayed in Daxing for a long time. The internal peace and stability, although the people were still hungry, they did not cause trouble. The wealth of the wealthy families increased, and at the same time, a large number of lackeys also increased their wealth.

Let’s not talk about other places, at least in Daxing City, people’s spending power is still good. Grain prices are stable all year round, more and more commodities are emerging, and people have some consumption enthusiasm, thus achieving the prosperity of the capital of the Sui Dynasty.

Anyone who comes to see it will say that Yang Jian is a man of both civil and military virtues, and is favored by heaven, and is truly the embodiment of the spirit of an empire.

However, hooligans and beggars are still active, and there are still people whose children are lost. The slaves driving the carriages are still arrogant, or perhaps even more arrogant...

Wang Yan just walked in the streets with his hands behind his back, watching silently...

More than half a month passed in peace. On this day, Wang Yan was summoned again. Yang Jian led a team, accompanied by civil and military officials from the court, and they went out to meet him ten miles away.

Not long after they arrived at the place, the civil and military officials began to sweat from the heat, and saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance, and then saw a group of infantrymen in armor, marching in a strict formation, with flags flying. On both sides of the infantry, there were cavalrymen who slowed down their horses and came slowly.

Silence, depression, and a murderous aura filled the air.

But the people present were not afraid, Yang Jian was even happier because this was his invincible army. Yang Guang was equally happy because it would also be his in the near future.

This was not the generals of the various armies coming to intimidate the emperor and the officials, but the victorious army, welcoming the inspection of the emperor, court officials, and even a large number of ordinary people with the best spirit.

Yes, there were people present who were buzzing with discussions.

This was the highest level of welcome. It was only because Wang Yan’s troops were not deployed in Daxing. He had more people, so the honor belonged to him. Of course, he didn’t care.

Wang Yan stood in the team with his hands behind his back, following the instructions of the ceremonial officer, bowing when he was told to, and cheering when he was told to, just going through the motions.

There were only two parties who were happy, one was the emperor, and the other was the generals who were being welcomed. Perhaps the soldiers at the back were also very happy because they were about to receive their rewards.

As for whether to feel honored, that is really a question...

The ceremony to welcome the triumphal return was quite long. By the time the whole process was completed, it was already noon. Everyone went back to the city under the scorching sun. Only then did everyone have time to chat with each other.

After the ceremony, the military power was released. So Shi Wansui, who was dressed in military uniform and was tall and strong, happily rode his warhorse to Wang Yan's side.

"My good brother, you are really fierce. I heard that you beat 10,000 with 3,000? Oh, you don't know. I heard that old Yang Su's jaw almost dropped at that time."

Wang Yan smiled modestly: "Brother, you are too kind. The number of heads and prisoners is more than 13,000..."

Shi Wansui was stunned for a moment, then punched Wang Yan's arm hard and laughed.

Wang Yan also looked at Yang Su who turned his head and laughed with Shi Wansui.

Yang Su glared at the two of them, then looked away and talked to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian seemed to have heard nothing...

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!
