Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 62
Before Yang Su went out to fight, he specially asked his younger brother Yang Yue not to allow Yang Yinjiang to leave the house.

Zhang Chou Taiyi's sentence: If this woman is a concubine, she is afraid of disaster, which means cutting off the possibility of Yang Yinjiang marrying into the royal family.

This made Yang Su wish he could stab the opponent.

He is just such an adult granddaughter now, and with his power, he doesn't care about her granddaughter other than marrying into the royal family.

So Yang Su cursed Zhang Qiu Taiyi with Yang Guang almost every day on the way to the expedition.

But younger brother Yang Yue didn't seem to take his words to heart.

Yang Yinjiang was free to come and go, and was not restricted at all.

"What do you buy horses for?"

In a gambling house in West Market, Yang Yinjiang and Yang Ming sat facing each other.

The side room they were in was extremely sound-insulated around the walls, no matter how loud they spoke, they couldn't be heard from the outside.

And Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang also used this place as their meeting place in the future.

The West Market has a complex population and is not easy to be noticed.

Yang Ming didn't hide the matter of buying horses from the other party. At least for now, Yang Yinjiang was regarded as her absolutely reliable ally.

"During the spring outing camp, I saw your Yang family's cavalry army. At that time, I had an idea, thinking of turning my future palace soldiers into a well-equipped cavalry army. I just happened to have some money on hand. I bought it."

Yang Yinjiang nodded: "Our family has a ranch in Hongnong, and there are at least [-] good horses that can be used as war horses. They are all bred with Turkic horses. Someone can send it to the east of the river."

"Then I'll be disrespectful," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Yang Yinjiang glared at him, and said: "I can also send you some horse slaves, all of whom are Turkic people who have lived in the Sui Dynasty for more than ten years. These people are good at raising horses and understand the habits of Turkic horses. You can Keep it for them to help breed."

"Okay!" Yang Ming nodded.

As she said that, Yang Yinjiang suddenly cast her eyes out of the window, and said slowly:

"I was born in Hongnong County. I came to Daxing when I was six years old. I have never left here since. I also heard about the scenery of the Jiangnan water town and the magnificent grassland beyond the Great Wall from my grandfather. I will have a chance in the future." , you want to take me out for a walk."

"I will," Yang Ming readily agreed.

Yang Yinjiang turned her head and smiled slightly: "That day in Yong'an Palace, the Holy Empress said she was going to give me death. I was so panicked that I was about to die and kept cursing you brat. Fortunately, I was right."

Yang Yinjiang had already mentioned the whole process of the confrontation between the two women when she first entered the room.

Yang Ming admired the other party more and more. He really didn't expect that there would be such a maverick woman in this feudal imperial society.

This is definitely a baby.

Next, the two talked about how to make money.

Yang Yue is very good at making money, and Yang Yinjiang is naturally familiar with the ways of it after being exposed to it since she was a child.

Yang Yinjiang would patiently answer Yang Ming's questions.

For example, the gambling house they are currently in was previously owned by Jushi Liu. After Liu Chang's house was ransacked, Yang Yue took over it.

The gambling house was remodeled from a large house, and there were many courtyards, all of which were single-story tile-roofed houses.

Any item that can be converted into money can be used as a bet,

A barbarian's saber, a scholar's jade pendant, a woman's jewelry, or even an animal skin cloak are all acceptable.

This is rare in other casinos.

Because Yang Yue also has many grocery stores, food stores, pawn shops, usury money houses, and several high-end brothels in Daxing.

These industries all come in quickly.

Since the money comes quickly, it is definitely not an industry that ordinary people can get involved in. Ordinary people can only earn hard money.

Yang Yinjiang felt that if Yang Ming wanted to make money, he might as well follow this line of thinking.

For example, in a gambling house, he only needs to rent a house, divide it into single rooms of different sizes, buy some servants, and find some skilled dealers, and then he can open the door to welcome customers.

And no one will think of you, and it is no problem to make money every day.

Gambling was explicitly prohibited in the Sui Dynasty, but it also existed by default.

There is no way, this thing has been banned repeatedly since ancient times, so the officials in charge of this have benefited, so they just turn a blind eye.

What's more, in Daxing City, the largest gambling house was opened by King Qin Yang Jun.

But Yang Ming was quite resistant to this business, so he still excluded it.

Next, Yang Yinjiang suggested that Yang Ming lend usury to those rich businessmen who need to turn around or the aristocrats who are in urgent need.

As long as Yang Ming is willing to do it, he is not afraid that he will not get his money back, and Yang Yinjiang is also willing to invest in a share as early capital.

The key is that Yang Ming still refuses. In his mind, this thing is too harmful, and he is very resistant.

"I don't want to do this, and I don't want to do that, so what do you want to do?" Yang Yinjiang blamed with a frustrated face.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Isn't there a more traditional way of making money?"

"Yes, but those don't make money," Yang Yinjiang said.

It's so real. Yang Ming pondered for a while, and said, "I'd better think about it."

"I advise you not to waste your time on this," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile, "You have a fief, so a place as rich as Hedong can't support you?"

Yang Ming waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, I really don't want to."

Around Xu time, the two parted ways.

Yang Yinjiang had a way to leave the West Market at night. After all, many generals of the Imperial Guard who were on guard at night were under Yang Su's command, so they would naturally be accommodating.

As for Yang Ming, let alone, if he is willing, the Imperial Army will have to escort him home.

Counting the days, it has been more than half a month since he entered the palace.

Yang Ming felt that if he didn't go again, Empress Dugu would scold him for being an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf.

So on the last day of April, Yang Ming went to the palace to greet Yang Jian and his wife.

Outside the gate of Yong'an Palace, Yang Ming had been waiting here for an hour, it wasn't that Queen Dugu didn't let him in.

It's that he didn't dare to go in, it's really a coincidence that he came today.

Because there are two women fighting inside,

Dugu Jialuo and his eldest daughter Yang Lihua.

The mother and daughter often quarreled, and Yang Ming was no stranger to it.

The content of the quarrel between the two this time revolved around Prince Yang Yong's favorite concubine Yun Zhaoxun.

It seems that Yang Yong wanted to strengthen Yun Zhaoxun, but Dugu Jialuo disagreed, while Yang Lihua believed that the problem of Donggong having no concubine could be solved by strengthening Yun Zhaoxun. Are there other concubines?

But Empress Dugu's attitude is very domineering, she only recognizes Concubine Yuan as her daughter-in-law, and even scolds Yang Lihua for meddling in her own business.

The mother and daughter quarreled for half an hour.

"Peng" sounded.

Yang Lihua angrily pushed open the palace door, and saw Yang Ming waiting outside at a glance.

"What is the brat doing here?"

Uh. Don't take it easy on me?Yang Ming hurriedly said, "My nephew came to pay my respects to grandma."

"Hmph! Please tell me, she is very nice,"

After all, Yang Lihua left angrily.

Yang Ming still didn't dare to go in,

After waiting for a long time, the voice of Empress Dugu came from inside:

"come in"
