The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 513

"Husband, it's not good to be a courtier or concubine. I didn't find out that the aunt is so willful." In the palace, Yang Tong and the queen Wei Fengwu took a walk by the small lake in the backyard. The most honorable and highest-status woman, her mission is to help Yang Tong stabilize the rear house, but she not only can't help, but also caused Yang Qinfang's mess, which made Wei Fengwu feel very guilty.

"The aunt has nothing to do with you. If I hadn't been too arrogant, she wouldn't have become like this. If I hadn't let her go to school, she wouldn't have had the chance to take a bunch of girls out to take risks. Fortunately, she found it in time, otherwise, The consequences are disastrous." Yang Tong shook his head.

After being married for many years, Wei Fengwu roughly saw Yang Tong's thoughts, "Is your husband planning to abolish women's schools?"

"That's not true, but with the lessons learned by Huang Gu, I will never let royal women go out to study again. The children are still young, so don't worry, you just need to do a good job of enlightenment; when we officially enter Lord Ziwei Palace, I set up a school in it, which is dedicated to the children of the royal family and civil and military ministers. This way the children will have friends, and it will also make the outside atmosphere crooked. If they yearn for the outside world, they can go out Let's go, I don't want to trap them in the palace, this small world can trap their people, but not their hearts, go out more, see more folk life, not only can expand their horizons, You can also gain a deeper understanding of right and wrong, good and evil.”

"That's good!" Yang Qinfang, Yang Mi, and Yang Zhi are now promoted to negative teaching materials for the royal family's education, causing the education of the royal family's children to become a top priority for Wei Fengwu.Seeing that her husband had plans at this time, he no longer entangled in this issue.

Looking at Wei Fengwu's clean and beautiful face, Yang Tong smiled and said, "Luoyang is our hometown. We came back after a round trip. Today is the Ghost Festival. The city should be lively and there is nothing wrong. Let's go out." go?"

The incident of Yang Qinfang made Yang Tong feel a little guilty. As the territory grew larger, the time to spend with his relatives became less and less. Life for loved ones in the backyard is split into two worlds.Take the matter of Yang Qinfang as an example, if the matter had not come to this point, he would not have known that Yang Qinfang had brought out a female soldier a long time ago.

Wei Fengwu's heart was moved when she heard it, but she still said: "Is your husband not busy with government affairs? You must not abolish the government for personal reasons."

"Government affairs are always busy! But if you take a closer look, I seem to be very leisurely. This is an indescribably strange contradiction!" Yang Tong laughed.

As a result of the great victory in the Central Plains, the Sui Dynasty added thirteen counties. From a short-term perspective, these territories are actually a heavy burden.In the past ten years or so, the rulers of these places have changed one after another. Even if there is a short period of stability, the rulers still focus on fighting. In the place where the government is in charge, not to mention the rampant bandits that need to work hard to eliminate, the damaged roads, rivers, dams, farmland, and cities alone require countless manpower and material resources to repair, and appease the hearts of the people. Don't be sloppy, as Yang Tong said before, the people who are still living on this land are either immobile people or tough people. If the Sui Dynasty uses improper people to govern, it is very likely It led to the corruption of the public trust in the Sui Dynasty, and it will be even more difficult to win people's hearts in the future. It may even lead to rebellion. Therefore, the appointment of these local officials, the Ministry of Officials is cautious and cautious. The selection of officials is not only talented, but also virtuous. Local tyrants, officials from the Ministry of Punishments of the old forces, and officials from the Ministry of Justice who supervised the implementation of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment were also in place one by one, and the county soldiers naturally arrived at the same time.

County soldiers and county servants are all retired soldiers, not only an important force to maintain local stability, but also the reserve army of the Sui Dynasty, which was previously managed by the "Armed Division" of the Ministry of War; The Department reformed, and after several considerations, he set up a "Military Department" in addition to the Nine Departments, which was used to take charge of the county soldiers and county services across the country. This department is equivalent to combining the later generations of the "benevolence" Ministry of Military Affairs and Gongan Bureau. The first Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs was held by Pei Renji, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites;

In this regard, the officials in the court are in favor of it; first of all, the county soldiers and county servants under the control of the county magistrates and county magistrates have always existed, but this type of local military officer has always lacked a clear specialized department. In the state of being in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War, when the Emperor of Civil and Military Affairs, once the local military officer had a problem, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War would shirk responsibility from each other and cause a lot of losses. If this continues, it will definitely be detrimental to the country. Set up, the ownership is clear, and the responsibility is also clear.Secondly, after Yang Tong’s drastic military reform, the county soldiers and county service were officially incorporated into the Ministry of War system to improve its efficiency. However, this represented the infinite expansion of the authority of the Ministry of War. Going to various counties and counties is not conducive to the future stability of the country. If the Ministry of War one day launches an attack, it will be able to control the fate of a country within a few months. For the stability of the country, it is necessary to establish a Ministry of Military Affairs that is equivalent to the Ministry of War.

As for whether there will be redundant officials, the ministers are not concerned, because there are county magistrates and county magistrates who have been included in the Ministry of Military Affairs system. Even if there is an increase, it is only the central management. The management of this area has become more standardized, and at the same time, it can effectively divide part of the power of the two busy yamen, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, to avoid excessive power of the two; the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs is only the beginning of the reform of the official system. After the unification of the world, the Audit Department will be promoted to take over the finance from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be in charge of the most basic affairs of the people, such as civil affairs and household registration.

Of course, Yang Tong still has a lot of ideas, but he needs to thoroughly sort out state affairs and social habits before he can consider implementing them. What's more, the world has not yet been unified, and power is too dispersed to solve problems in a timely manner. He is still young and has plenty of time to regulate. The official system of the Sui Dynasty was not too anxious.

The handover brought about by the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs is mainly reflected in the center of the imperial court, which did not have much impact on the local area. After the official establishment, the official documents were sent by Xinying to the counties, directly telling those county officials and county officials, You are now a member of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Back then, when Yang Tong arrived in Luoyang, the first step was to ask people to count the mansions and shops left by Wang Shichong’s family, courtiers, and rich family members after they fled. Not knowing the fact that they were thieves, they were all dispatched to the border by Yang Tong, and their Zhuangzi houses were also nationalized!These are also all nationalized. After completing this step, the generosity of others will be generous and distributed to the generals who have made meritorious service.At its peak, Luoyang had a population of nearly one million. When it was re-accepted by the Sui Dynasty, the population of the city was less than 20, and there were countless empty houses. These houses were all controlled by Yang Tong. I believe that there will be a large influx of people one day, and there will be no sales!
really!When the imperial court officially announced Luoyang as the imperial capital, many middle and high-class people with keen sense of smell came to Luoyang to buy real estate, which made Yang Tong a lot of money. For this money, Yang Tong made it with peace of mind, because in his In his conception, Luoyang is a large property developed by his grandfather, and it is reasonable to sell these houses; so that he thinks about doing one thing from time to time, that is, when one day, Luoyang is overcrowded, or he is short of money, he will take it to the court. He worked in Daxing, Yecheng, Zhuojun, Taiyuan and other places, and then released specious rumors to the outside world, making people mistakenly think that the capital of the Sui Dynasty would be moved here. It can make a lot of money, and he doesn't worry about the development of the new city, it can be packaged to the royal family, and he just sits and collects the money;

If Yang Tong really did this, he would be honored as a patriarch by later generations of officials and businessmen who colluded with each other.After all, no matter how strong they are, they can only use a mobile station to play with the people of a city, but he uses the imperial capital to play with a country.

Today, regardless of whether Yang Tong will use the imperial capital to play tricks on the people of the Sui Dynasty, at least Yang Tong has succeeded in Luoyang. One thing, the streets are full of traffic.

That night, every household in Luoyang City also hung up lanterns, and the Luoshui River was full of lights with the sound of oars, and the waves swayed. The main rivers such as Yishui and Gushui also became radiant.

As night fell, countless hawkers poured out and went to various riversides to set up stalls in the leisure streets by the river. The gathering of hawkers also attracted more people to go out. For a while, several streets in Luoyang were filled with shoppers and lantern-watchers.

Fire trees and silver flowers, the whole Luoyang has become a nightless sky.

On the street, almost every stall is full of customers, and groups of children are running back and forth cheerfully with water lanterns. Although this is not the Lantern Festival, the children don’t care about these things, and the excitement is their happiest thing.

Some young girls also took to the streets in groups, gathered around the jewelry and makeup stalls, and picked out all kinds of cheap jewelry.

In front of a bamboo handicraft booth, six girls huddled together to watch the exquisite bamboo products and choose cute bamboo animals. They were dazzled by more than a hundred kinds of handicrafts.

The six girls were not very old, but they all had bright eyes and white teeth, and they were delicate and refined. They wore long skirts made of fine linen, a short shirt, and their hair was combed into a moon-watching double ring bun.Although they are all dressed in simple and concise clothes, their otherworldly demeanor overshadows the women around them.

However, although they were unsurpassed in appearance and extraordinary, no one dared to think of them, except that they wore daggers, and there were a group of heroic female soldiers standing beside them with cold eyes.

It is very normal for female soldiers to appear in Luoyang. They are either female doctors in the army or guards of rich families. The common people have also changed from being surprised, not used to, and not understanding at the beginning, to the current habit.

But the female soldiers who followed the five girls were very different. They protected the five girls very comprehensively, and they seemed to be on the side casually, but no one could approach them.Even the two elderly couples who were stall owners noticed that the girls were unusual.

This group of girls are Yang Qinfang, Fang Xiuzhu, Li Youwei, Deng Yu, Yaoyao, Zheng Liwan and the others from the Raksha Camp.

After they received their first salary in their lives, they planned to spend it all in one go, but Luoyang still had fewer things to choose from than Yecheng. Finally, they heard that the Ghost Festival would be more lively. Everyone summed up, He simply decided to come out to pick out his favorite jewelry and gifts during the Ghost Festival. The items purchased on this day are undoubtedly more meaningful.

There was a huge crowd tonight. The 49 young girls walking together stopped and stopped in front of the various stalls. They were dazzled by the dazzling array of objects, and as they walked, they got separated.

Fortunately, security in Luoyang is strict, and tonight is a festival, and there are military patrols everywhere, and some streets that are supported by people have guards and garrisons. The local ruffians who haunt the festivals are almost invisible in Luoyang, not to say that everyone is conscious Good, high quality, but strict laws.In the early days when the imperial court used work as relief to repair Luoyang, there were local ruffians who tried to cheat money by cheating. As a result, some of them were cut off, and some were even deprived of their citizenship. Now they are in slave camps, together with foreign slaves. Living a cruel and inhumane life, facing bloody lessons, who would dare to play hooligans in the street under the eyes of everyone?Unless he's getting impatient.

Because of this, although these six girls were eye-catching and outstanding, none of the disciples dared to harass and tease them. Besides, even if they had the courage to play hooligans, the female soldiers might not be able to pass the test.

"Your Highness, look at this bamboo hairpin..."

Zheng Liwan was interrupted by Yang Qinfang before finishing her sentence. She said in a low voice, "Didn't we agree a long time ago? In the army, we are called General, and in the palace, we are called Your Highness. Besides, we are all called sisters. Why?" Forgot again? If the tyrant finds out, he will say that I am bullying others. I hate people calling me Your Highness the Princess."

All the girls laughed.

Among the 49 female soldiers in the Luocha Battalion, Yang Qinfang was the one who suffered the most.

Yang Tong never praised her, and also said that she was able to become the leader of the Raksha camp not because of how great she was, but because everyone respected her status as a "princess". A trash idiot.As time went by, Yang Qinfang didn't like others calling her Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Zheng Liwan felt aggrieved: "That's what I said, but who in this world dares to take the princess seriously, even if that guy doesn't care about the crimes I committed next, my father will punish me."

"But none of them are here."

"I'm afraid it's easy to say. If I call you sister in front of them, I will be miserable." Zheng Liwan's attitude is quite clear: I don't have to be afraid or revering you, and I also treat you as a sister in my heart, but I I can't help but call you 'Her Royal Highness'.Other girls think similarly.But recently, their names just clashed with Yang Qinfang's and became her least favorite appellation.

Yang Qinfang was a little crazy: "You are afraid of them, so you are not afraid of me? I am your direct boss."

"Who are you kidding! We are all small soldiers! And you have no status compared to us." Zheng Liwan laughed, tore off a strand of hair from her head, and handed it to Yang Qinfang: "You are more important than a slave." Soldiers are just that advanced."

Yang Qinfang blushed, she knew about her own affairs, how could she not see Yang Tong's obvious targeting?Jiaochen said: "If you mess around again, I won't take you out in the future."

Yang Qinfang's words hit Zheng Liwan's vitals, and she didn't dare to make a sound. After a while, she muttered: "Okay! Sisters are sisters."

Yang Qinfang smiled, "That's right, what did you just say?"

Zheng Liwan quickly reached out and pulled out a phoenix-headed bamboo hairpin from the stall. There was a soybean hanging in the middle of the phoenix hairpin, which was very cute.

"Huh!" Yang Qinfang took the bamboo hairpin in surprise and looked at it again and again. The workmanship was exquisite and lifelike, "Do you know? Xiao Wu also has a bamboo hairpin, which is exactly the same as this one."

"Huang, does she have it too?" Zheng Liwan asked in surprise.

"Hmm! She packed it in a jade box. It's so precious. When I was a child, I played with it for a while, and she almost turned against me."

Zheng Liwan laughed, "It must be a token of love from that person, so I kept it like a treasure."

"What tokens of love were carved by that guy at the Zhuojun Market, and then sent out. Besides, there are many small animals made of bamboo. Xiao Wu regards her life more than her life." Yang Qinfang said angrily. , "There are other ones too. I just don't have..."

"I didn't expect him to have such a skill..." Zheng Liwan suddenly remembered something, and said curiously: "But it's normal for him to give it to his daughter-in-law. Besides, a man gives a hairpin to a girl to show that she likes her. He You are so smart, you don't know the meaning of sending hairpins, you are his aunt, how could he give it to you? Why are you angry?"

"Me!" Yang Qinfang's beautiful and delicate face was stained with a touch of blush. Seeing the strange eyes of the "sisters", she explained in a panic: "No one likes me. I don't know who gives hairpins at all. meaning!"

"I see." All the girls suddenly realized.

"Then you have to remember that if someone gives you hairpins in the future, you can't take them randomly. Otherwise, others will mistakenly think that you have accepted the love, and if there is trouble, you will be in big trouble." Zheng Liwan was kind on the side. Remind Yang Qinfang

"En! I see. Thank you!" Yang Qinfang stared down at the bamboo hairpin in her hand, her eyes were ashen.

Zheng Liwan was smart, and when she sensed that Yang Qinfang was in a bad mood, she quickly said, "We are sisters! You're welcome."

If Zheng Liwan had said that just now, Yang Qinfang would have been overjoyed, but now she reluctantly said, "Yes, we are good sisters for life!"
