Monument Yangmen

Chapter 907 Liao Heng is weak, Yan Heng is strong

Knowing everything, Queen Tie Jing was ashamed.

She didn't have the face to pester at the gate of the palace anymore, she covered her face and went back to the post station, ordered someone to pack up her things, and immediately drove to leave Yanjing City.

She felt that she had stayed in Yanjing City for an extra quarter of an hour, and her face was burning.

Yang Hun didn't understand his mother's shame, he wanted to say goodbye to Meng Jinbang and others, but Queen Mother Tie Jing didn't give him the chance.

The sullen Yang Hun was stuffed into the Luanjia, and the burly maid drove the horses that pulled the cart to the outside of Yanjing City.

Luanjia rushed all the way to the north gate of Yanjing City, but was stopped by someone.

The person who stopped the car was still Kou Zhun.

The Queen Mother Tie Jing on the Luanjia saw Kou Zhun with a miserable expression on her face. After a few days in Yanjing City, she already knew Kou Zhun's identity, "Master Kou also wants to bully my mother and son?"

Kou Zhun put his hands behind his back and shook his head, "Frankly speaking, I really don't like you mother and child very much, but I haven't fallen to the point of bullying women and children. The reason why I stopped you is because someone asked me to send you something.

I can't afford to offend anyone who entrusted me, so I can only risk being punished by His Majesty to come to see your mother and son. "

Hearing that Kou Zhun was not trying to embarrass their mother and son, Queen Mother Tie Jing's face softened a little.

"What is it?"

Kou Zhun waved back.

A carriage full of seven drivers appeared at the north gate of Yanjing City.

The carriage is wrapped with a thick layer of animal skin, which is prepared to prevent heavy rain and snow.

The thick animal skin rope is as thick as a baby's arm and looks very strong.

Queen Mother Tie Jing looked suspiciously at the carriage, then at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun stood with his hands folded, and said calmly: "Some food and clothing expenses are the wishes of the children and elders."

Yang Hun, who had been hiding in the Luanjia and eavesdropping, his eyes curved into crescents when he heard Kou Zhun's words.

He quickly climbed onto the window of the carriage, and shouted at Kou Zhun, "Thank you to my aunt, aunt, and grandparents for me."

A rare smile appeared on Kou Zhun's indifferent face.

"I'll definitely bring it for you."

Empress Dowager Tie Jing felt more and more miserable. She had done a lot since entering Yan Kingdom, but she didn't feel any kindness.

But Yang Hun didn't do anything, but got a lot of goodwill.

After Kou Zhun told Queen Mother Tie Jing a few more words, he drifted away.

Empress Dowager Tie Jing had a bitter face, and ordered the idle maids to get into the other seven carriages and drive out of Yanjing City together.

And it was in a small building not far from them.

Three distinguished women watched them leave slowly.

Meng Jinbang leaned on the vermilion fence of the small building, clenched his hands tightly, and there was a look of reluctance in his eyes.

"Reluctant?"

She Saihua walked slowly in front of Meng Jinbang, and held her hand tightly with a worried expression on her face.

There was an ugly smile on Meng Jinbang's face, and he said: "I just got acquainted with the child, and I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a big mother before he was sent away. We don't know when we will meet again. .”

Holding her big belly, Yang Yanqi shouted angrily behind them: "Brother Seven is too cruel, mother, why don't you talk about him."

She Sai gave her a blank look, "As a mother, I also want to take care of it. The problem is that it is a rule that the harem should not interfere with government affairs. In our eyes, it is a private matter for their mother and son to go to Beijing, but in the eyes of others, it is a state matter for their mother and son to go to Beijing.

Since it is a state matter, there is no way for my mother to intervene.As a mother, I can't break the rule that the harem must not interfere with the government. "

"Hum~"

Yang Yanqi hummed angrily, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Yang Qi's actions.

After humming for a long time, Yang Yanqi glanced at Meng Jinbang and said, "Sister-in-law Si, we secretly sent so many things to Yang Hun. Will my seventh brother really won't chase them back after he knows?"

Meng Jinbang was startled, and laughed softly: "Don't worry, even if Qilang wants to chase, he won't be able to catch up."

She Saihua and Yang Yanqi looked at Meng Jinbang suspiciously, not understanding where Meng Jinbang was so confident in this country ruled by Yang Qi.

Meng Jinbang smiled without saying a word, but he was full of confidence.

in the palace.

Yang Qi frowned and asked Chen Lin and Peng Pai to lead people to chase after Yang Qi was reported by the patrolling Marquis Wu.

Chen Lin and Peng Pai chose a soldier from the three guards, and hurriedly rushed to the outside of Yanjing City.

however.

When they crossed the street on the edge of the imperial city, they were stopped.

Princess Qingyu was carrying a bamboo cage on her back, and she stood carelessly on the street, blocking their necessary passage.

Chen Lin and Peng Pai looked at each other with wry smiles.

Princess Qingyu looked at the two of them, and said with pursed lips: "Either step on my dead body, or let Yang Yansi come to see me."

"You wait here, I will inform His Majesty."

Chen Lin really didn't dare to face Princess Qingyu, so he left these words to Peng Pai, and galloped back to the palace to report the news.

Only Peng Pai was left there alone to be tortured by Princess Qingyu.

In Yanjing City, one counts as one, and anyone who can be related to the Song Dynasty is almost scolded by Princess Qingyu.

It just so happens that she has a special status, and no one can do anything to her.

When Peng Pai was in the Song Dynasty, he studied in a school funded by Zhao Guangyi. I don’t know who turned up this matter and let Princess Qingyu know. Every time Princess Qingyu meets Peng Pai, she always thinks about this Talk about things.

The scolding Peng Pai ran away with his head in his arms.

After Chen Lin returned to the palace, she smiled wryly at Yang Qi and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. Princess Qingyu is blocking the way."

"Headache! Why did that girl Qingyu get involved?"

Yang Qi rubbed his brows, gave a wry smile, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I added 10 two-year-old tribute from the Liao Kingdom, and let them bring some food back, it's my reward.

Go get Peng Pai back, don't leave him there to be scolded. "

"Can you... let Zamahe Aoki go?"

Yang Qi couldn't laugh or cry and nodded Chen Lin, "Then let Aoki go."

Chen Lin was obviously also afraid of Princess Qingyu.

Chen Lin walked out of the imperial study with a wry smile, and told Zamahe Aoki.

Zamahe Qingmu found Peng Pai and recalled him.

It took Liao more than half a year to go to Yan as an envoy. The plan was very big, but it came to nothing.

Yang Qi didn't bother to talk about how unbearable the Liao Kingdom would become after being added with New Year's Coins.

He just sent someone to send a long letter to Shang Qingzi, ordering him to pay close attention to the movements of the Liao Kingdom and at the same time guard against someone from invading the Yan Kingdom.

……

Time flies to the end of the year.

One after another, envoys transported loads of generous tributes into Yanjing City.

From hundreds of officials to the common people, after seeing the huge team of envoys, they were a little dazed.

The Kingdom of Yan dominates the Central Plains, and its neighbors bow their heads. In the past, pilgrims would enter the city of Yanjing during festivals.

The people of Yanjing City have long been familiar with the strangeness.

The reason why they are confused this year is because the pilgrimage team this year is more than ten times larger.

The tribute delivered to Yanjing City also increased a hundred times.

Many foreign countries that the people have never heard of have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

All of a sudden there are so many foreign countries?
Where did it come from?

All of a sudden, the curiosity of the people was aroused.

Everyone rushed to tell each other, inquired about each other's news, and finally they learned the truth.

Most of these extra foreign countries were established after the rich and powerful families went to sea.

For a moment, Yanjing City was like a scoop of water poured into a frying pan, causing a sensation.

Many rich and powerful families met together to inquire about each other's news.

When they learned that Yang Qi not only did not intend to stop or stifle this matter, but had an intention to support it, they were tempted.

Almost overnight, more than half of the rich and powerful families in Yanjing City had the idea of ​​going out to sea and dominating the sea.

In the imperial study.

Kou Zhun sat across from Yang Qi with a sad face, and told Yang Qi in detail about the move of the rich and powerful families in Yanjing City who wanted to go out to sea and become kings.

When Yang Qi heard about it, he smiled and said, "This is a good thing, why are you frowning?"

Kou Zhun stared and said: "These wealthy families all went to sea at once, and the population of the entire Yanjing City will drop by [-]%. After the wealthy families in other places know about this, they will definitely follow suit.

Once these wealthy families all go to sea, the population of the whole country will drop sharply in large numbers.

As the population drops sharply, the relative tax burden, agricultural products, merchants, etc., will all drop sharply.

Moreover, with so many rich and powerful families going to sea, a large amount of gold and silver will also flow out.

The prosperity we managed to manage will also go backwards a lot. "

"Prosperity?"

Yang Qi smiled wryly and said: "What kind of prosperous age is this? It's still far from a prosperous age. Although our Great Yan Kingdom has a vast territory, there are still people who are hungry. In your eyes, it is a bad thing for a wealthy family to go to sea. In my eyes, it is a bad thing. But it's a good thing."

"They went out to sea one by one, and it saved me from taking action against them. The remaining rich and powerful families, after their power has been weakened, can't stand alone. I can just take this opportunity to scrape out the fields that are under their control , distributed to the people.

Now, the people will be rich. "

"As for the population issue, you don't need to worry. Didn't I never stop the decree to encourage people to have children? A few days ago, didn't you tell me that the population of Yan Kingdom is growing too fast and needs to be suppressed.

If the rich and powerful families all went to sea, wouldn't it just solve the problem of the rapid population growth of Yan Kingdom? "

Kou Zhun opened his eyes wide in horror, "You have already planned it?"

Yang Qi curled his lips and said, "Otherwise? Are I idling to encourage the people to have children? Are I idling to encourage them to go to sea?"

"But the gold and silver flowed out..."

Yang Qi glanced at Kou Zhun contemptuously and said: "Your eyelids are too shallow. When have you ever seen me do a loss-making business? Whether they can go to sea or not is up to me. What goes to sea.

The sages of the Confucian family have to give up millions of acres of fertile land in Jeju Prefecture when they go to sea.

Are other wealthy families harder than the Kong family?

Moreover, even if they go out to sea and want to build a country, whether it can be built or not is up to me to decide. "

"Can you take care of it when you go out to sea?"

Kou Zhun was even more shocked.

Yang Qi casually took out a volume of documents from the bookshelf behind him, and threw it to Kou Zhun. While Kou Zhun was reading the documents, he said indifferently: "There are 130 powers that have established a country overseas. , I will send such a document to them.

Only by agreeing to the request on the document will I allow them to establish the country.

If they don't agree, they will try Jianguo.

Behind me, there is not only the tyrannical Yan as support, but also thousands of wealthy families waiting to replace him.

If I want to destroy them, I don't need to do it myself.

They only need to promise the land they occupy to other wealthy families. "

"Sigh~"

While listening to Yang Qi's words, Kou Zhun looked at the document in his hand, pouted and sucked in air.

Whether it was Yang Qi's words or the document Yang Qi gave him, he was surprised.

Through the documents in his hand, Kou Zhun can easily judge Yang Qi's control over these newly established overseas countries.

First of all, it is clearly stated in the document issued by Yang Qi.

To establish a country overseas, permission must be obtained from the court of Yan.

Countries that have not been approved by the court of the Yan Kingdom are called wild countries, and they are included in the conquest by the Yan Kingdom. At the same time, all the neighboring countries of the Yan Kingdom can attack them together.

This almost isolates the countries that have not obtained the permission of the Yan State.

Not only did they have to guard against Yan State's attack at any time, but they also had to guard against attacks from their neighbors.

They are enemies everywhere, and the Yan Kingdom is so powerful, they can't do it even if they are not afraid.

In addition, Yang Qi would promise other rich and powerful families to replace them from time to time, and in an instant, they had a lot more enemies.

Therefore, all the rich and powerful families who can see this shortcoming are all scrambling to obtain the permission of the Yan State court.

With this method, Yang Qi established the primary and secondary positions at the beginning of the establishment of overseas countries.

Later, overseas countries were asked to come to the ancestral temple to welcome the incense of the Han family, just to remind them all the time that they are descendants of the Han family.

As a vassal state, it became a matter of course to pay tribute to the suzerain state every year.

With just one title, Yang Qi pushed the overseas countries to the ground and searched layer by layer.

In addition, for example, after the establishment of a country, each country must open its own country and allow Yan country merchants, Nanguo money bank, Yan country money bank, etc. to settle in. It is simply opening up the door and letting Yang Qi go in to collect money.

The most important thing is that the conquest between the vassal states and the replacement of the throne must be approved by Yang Qi.

This point promoted by Yang Qi limits the consumption of Han family and Miao descendants overseas. If they want to expand their country, they can only expand outward.

Of course, in Kou Zhun's view, the above are all secondary.

The most important thing is that Yang Qi told them with a strong attitude that after the establishment of the vassal states, they must leave enough places for Yan to station troops and horses.

The soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom have undergone previous equipment updates, and their combat effectiveness has been improved by more than one crop.

Now the soldiers and horses of Yan State are tyrannical.

Artillery has been equipped to battalions, and new guns have been equipped to the entire army.

It can be said that a thousand-man army is enough to rule an overseas island country.

Synthesized the official documents given by Yang Qi.

Kou Zhun can easily judge that although those vassal states that are kings abroad occupy large tracts of land, the one that actually benefits the most is still the Yan State.

In terms of military, government, and finance, Yan State has control over them.

It is difficult for them not to listen to Yan Guo.

"Your Majesty... this, is this all your idea?"

Unknowingly, Yang Qi has already crossed the country of Yan, and began to extend his control overseas. The control is still so tight that Kou Zhun cannot help but be shocked.

Yang Qi didn't answer Kou Zhun's question, but said with a smile: "After seeing Zhen's arrangement, are you still worried that after those rich and powerful families leave Yan State, Yan State will be poor?"
