Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 136
The last canal line drawn by Yang Guang had reached the boundary of Nanchen. Yang Lihua asked curiously: "Why did you include the river course of Nanchen?"

"Sister, it's not a matter of a day or two anyway. Sooner or later, Nan Chen will be our Sui's."

"How come you, like my father, directly regard Nanchen as the target of our Sui Dynasty?"

Yang Guang smiled and said nothing.

The shocked look was still in Li Yuan's eyes. Among the people he had met in his life, there was only one person who could plan the world like Yang Guang. If we count those who went crazy and talked nonsense after drinking, they did not have such a big plan as Yang Guang. .

When Yang Guang talked about planning, he was not talking about what kind of wonders or great achievements he would build, but whether it would bring benefits to the future of the Sui Dynasty after it was completed.

The Grand Canal is naturally a wonder. Under normal circumstances, such a large-scale project is enough to bring down the Sui Dynasty's finances. However, considering that Yang Guang was able to make money by building Daxing City, there may be no need to worry about money. The human effort is still incalculable.

Such a thing that consumes national power will not be rewarded with praise, but if the canal is built, as long as the canal is repaired in the next few hundred years, all the waterways between the most important cities in the Central Plains will be accessible. The Central Plains will be the most prosperous, richest, and most prosperous. Important cities are revitalized.

If you follow tens of millions to make millions, follow a beggar and know how to beg for food, with such a leader who has great ambitions, even a pure bastard will have good results in the end. The ready-made example in front of you is Lu Bi, holding Yang Jian's thigh and soaring up, even if he is capable He is still a noble man, but he still lives a noble life.

Li Yuan felt that he had followed the right person.

Yang Guang said to Li Yuan: "Cousin, there is such a canal in the Central Plains. Several major cities can more than double their prosperity."

"Your Highness, I very much agree with your plan, but I can't imagine how much money it would cost to build a canal of this scale. Building a canal is different from Daxing City. You can make money selling houses in Daxing City, but there is no income for the canal."

Yang Guang smiled slyly. Li Yuan rarely saw such a childish expression on Yang Guang's face.

"The cost is naturally huge, but if we fight Nanchen, we will get money."

scare

Yang Lihua and Li Yuan both looked shocked. They wanted to plunder Nanchen's treasury to build a canal for him. This idea was probably the only one he dared to think about.

"Don't look at me with this expression. I don't mean to take money from the Nanchen court. Forget it, I'll explain it to you later. It's still too early for you to figure out your horoscope. So, eldest sister, this is the mission. The first step is for you to go to Luoyang and find me a good place to build ships. When Daxing City is completed, I will use it right away."

Yang Lihua nodded immediately and said solemnly: "Since you said so, I must help, but this task is very heavy. I'm afraid I can't do it well."

"Sister, I believe in you. You must be able to do it. I can trust your vision."

"That's not what I meant. I meant that the task is heavy and we need to pay more."

"Eldest sister, if this continues, I will die."

Yang Lihua immediately said generously: "I don't want any cash. Let's do this. If you develop Luoyang City in the future, you will have to leave me a good location like Daxing City."

This time it was Yang Guang's turn to be surprised and puzzled: "Why does elder sister think I will develop Luoyang City?"

"This is not very simple. You have said that the center of the canal is Luoyang City. In the future, commerce will be prosperous and transportation will be convenient. If the imperial city were not in Daxing City, I am afraid Daxing City would not be as good as Luoyang City. And you have completed Daxing City. , Father is very satisfied, if Luoyang is to be developed, it will definitely fall on you, I can still see this clearly."

Yang Guang didn't know whether to say that her intuition was accurate or that she had a vicious vision.

Xiao Menglan saw that they were almost finished talking and said, "Sister, a batch of silk from the south of the Yangtze River just arrived the day before yesterday. Let's go and see if there is anything we like. Let's pick a few and go."

"Okay." Yang Lihua was not polite to Xiao Menglan at all. Before Xiao Menglan lived in her house, her beautiful clothes and fabrics were not hidden at all and Xiao Menglan could choose at will.

"Sister Tong'an, let's go together. You can also pick two pieces. Summer will start in two months. Make two more new clothes. It's the time when you are growing, so the old clothes may be too small."

Li Tongan ran over happily.

Yang Guang sent Li Yuan to the door and told Li Yuan to keep an eye on the cement production. He himself planned to keep an eye on the progress every day.

……

The days went by, and it was January again in the blink of an eye. The cement factory continued to expand, and production was stepped up almost every day. Many people were used to consolidate and level the Suzaku Avenue.

The prince traveled back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang. During this period, the two brothers became the emperor's right-hand men, which became a good story.

In the evening of that day, Yang Yong rode across the long street and returned to the palace excitedly, because today was the day when his eldest son was full moon.

Everyone knows about the birth of the eldest son, but has not officially celebrated it yet. The most important reason is that the infant mortality rate was too high in ancient times, and people were afraid that extreme happiness would lead to sadness.Babies are extremely fragile, especially in the first month of life. Anything can kill them. Neonatal jaundice is almost inevitable. In the absence of good symptomatic medicine, just this thing can take away a lot of people. The child's life.

Even the royal family couldn't prevent this from happening. Historically, many of the emperor's heirs simply died.

If there is no premature death after more than one month, the mortality rate will be much smaller. This is why people traditionally do not celebrate the birth of a child immediately but wait until the full moon or a hundred days.

The East Palace is in the imperial city. Neither the emperor nor the empress have met their eldest grandson yet, and today it is finally time for the emperor to meet the emperor's eldest grandson.

Early in the morning of that day, the emperor and empress put on corresponding clothes. In order to show solemnity, the emperor wanted to wear the dragon robe when he went to court, but he felt it was too serious, so he ordered the palace to rush to make a suit. When the clothes came out, they looked solemn but less serious. Even the crown was changed to a more ordinary style. It was obvious that he really took this matter seriously.

In addition to being the eldest grandson of the royal family, this child is also the first direct boy born in the Yang family after Yang Jian ascended the throne. According to the words of the alchemists, this child is imbued with dragon energy.

In the East Palace, all the royal family members in Chang'an City were present. Yang Jian happily took over the infant child and teased him. The child never expected to start laughing when he saw the emperor. The white and tender baby smiled so beautifully.

Queen Dugu showed a rare joy: "Hey, Your Majesty, he is looking at you and smiling."

Yun Luo walked up to him at this time: "The child saw His Majesty. He must have recognized his Grandfather, that's why he was so happy."

The old couple's attitude towards Yun Luo was much better than before. This was the first time Yang Jian talked to Yun Luo today: "You gave birth to a child. Women have to go through hell before giving birth. Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing this, Yun Luo was flattered, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "It is Yun Luo's blessing to be able to give birth to a child for His Royal Highness."

Queen Dugu grabbed Yunluo and said, "You kid, why do you cry after saying just a few words? You should be smiling on a good day."

"Yes Yes."

Looking at Yun Luo's appearance in front of the Second Sage, Yang Guang still couldn't understand why she changed so much after giving birth to a child. He clearly didn't like Yun Luo so much before, but he should be even more disgusted when she made a fuss about the Yun sisters before giving birth. That's right, but now she looks like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious. He can't understand his father, emperor and mother.

Yang Yong stepped forward and said: "Father, the child is one month old and his nickname is Aluo, but he has not yet given a name. Please give me a name."

The naming step was a matter of course. Yang Jian had already ordered someone to calculate the name. At this time, he said to everyone: "This child is my eldest grandson. He should be respectful and solemn. It is very good to name him Yan."

Yun Luo immediately said respectfully: "Thank you, Father, for giving me the name."

Everyone was enjoying themselves, only Gao Liangdi and Crown Princess Yuanshi looked unhappy. They should have squeezed out a smile on this day, but they were extremely disgusted with Yun Luo and couldn't squeeze out.

Queen Dugu naturally noticed the condition of the Crown Princess, and she also felt a little embarrassed in her heart, because she used to help the Crown Princess, but now her attitude towards Yun Luo has improved, and it is inevitable that people will think more about her.

Queen Dugu waved to the Crown Princess: "Crown Princess."

"My son is here."

The Crown Princess walked up to the Queen, who took her and looked at the baby in her arms and said, "This child is the Emperor's eldest grandson. You have to help Yun Zhaoxun take care of it in the house."

The Crown Princess smiled confidently at this time: "Mother, I also like this child very much. Naturally, I have to prepare gifts for this full moon. There will definitely be no shortage of gold and silver. I happened to bring a Yuan Mansion with me. A baby girl who was just one month old came into the palace. This baby girl is very good. Her father ordered someone to take a look at her and said that she would be very wealthy. The son brought her to the East Palace to keep A Luo company since he was a child."

The Queen originally thought that the Crown Princess would put her thoughts on her face again, but instead made the Emperor unhappy on her big day. She didn't expect that she would be so good today.

"Quick, quick, take out the girl doll and take a look."

The Queen was naturally happy. She felt that the Crown Princess said that this girl should be the child of her brother at home. What's wrong with getting married?
The princess waved her hand and asked her men to bring the baby up.

At this time, a young eunuch ran over and said a few words in front of Yang Jian. Yang Jian's expression became much more serious.

"Today is really an auspicious day. I have received news from Chang Sun Sheng, who I have not been able to contact for a long time. He has arrived in Turks. I need to deal with government affairs first."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Yang Jian looked livid after leaving, because the news he had just arrived, in addition to the news about Chang Sun Sheng, was that the Turkic army had defeated Lanzhou Governor Chilie Changcha in Lintao, and there was still a tendency to invade south.

After seeing the emperor, the princess watched the emperor leave with some regret, lamenting that the next show would be less fun without the emperor's presence.

She looked at Yun Luo with a smile in her eyes, and everyone turned to look at the baby girl that the maid held out from behind.
