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

Chapter 14 The richest man in Chang'an
Yang Guang counted 36000 yuan as his own today. This is a lot of wealth. There is a saying that a family has a fortune. If you can have a million yuan, you are a first-class wealthy family. And this group of people spend a lot of money. Rich as hell.

He couldn't hide this money, he had to give it to the emperor first. He expected that the emperor would use it for him, but he had to make a gesture first. Taking out the money from his own house would basically mean draining the family's wealth. The emperor named him the Prince of Jin. The amount of cash reward is enough to make up for it.

On the way back home, Li Jing and Yang Guang rode in a carriage together. Li Jing thought about what happened today and fell into deep thought.

"What do you think?"

"Recalling the eldest princess's performance in cooperation with His Highness, I feel something is lacking."

"There are specialties in martial arts. My eldest sister came back from clearing the deep palace compound. How can you compare with her? I can't compare with you either. You should read more military books and learn the art of war."

"Your Highness thinks I should learn the art of war? Why?"

Yang Guang was stunned and patted Li Jing seriously: "I know a little bit about fortune telling. I can tell by the look on your face that you will be good at fighting in the future."

Li Jing had some self-doubts. In his plan, he should be a civil servant who made suggestions in the future, but the King of Jin said that he was a general.

"Li Jing, your family is the Li family of Longxi. Do you know Li Cheng, Duke of Tang Dynasty?"

"I know, I've met him once, but I'm not familiar with him. Although we are both from the Li family in Longxi, we belong to different houses."

There is a saying that Li Yuan's family is not the Li family of Longxi, but that his grandfather Li Hu got in by force after he became powerful.

"Then have you seen Li Yuan?"

Li Jing shook his head and said he had no impression.

The ancestors of the Li family were from a distinguished family, but the previous Tang Guogong died early. Li Yuan was only six years old when he died. The eldest son Li Cheng inherited the title. He also had three sons, Li Yuan was the youngest.

Now this family was in decline before Li Yuan's rise, living on their old laurels.

Li Yuan is Yang Guang's cousin. The Li family was invited but did not come today. Yang Guang plans to take this opportunity to meet his cousin as soon as possible.

……

Early the next morning, Yang Guang arrived at the palace and told Yang Jian about the sale of the house. Generally speaking, Yang Jian was very satisfied. He got a lot of money without paying anything. Funds were tight in the early stage, so all the money was poured into the construction fund of Daxing City.

"Father, leave part of this money to your son, who needs to book an area in the most prosperous part of Chang'an City to build a model house."

"The queen told me about the model house last night. It's a good idea and can be done, but do you still plan to continue with nothing?"

It seems that after Queen Dugu returned to the palace after drinking last night, the old couple had an in-depth conversation.

"Father, we all said this is called off-plan housing."

"Okay, off-plan property, do you still plan to do this?"

"Yes, I even plan to make most of the funds needed by Daxing City come from inside, including underground pipeline projects."

Yang Jian hesitated slightly, but finally nodded: "Go ahead, you are now officially the supervisor of the construction of Daxing City. You will make decisions on many things, and major matters will be reported to me."

"Thank you very much, Father. However, Father, I am very weak. Can you provide me with some people to help me?"

"Of course you can, as many people as you need."

"My son, I need to think about it, discuss it with Yu Wenkai, and arrange a personnel list for my father as soon as possible, as well as the number of laborers and craftsmen needed, and try to break ground within this month."

"You don't need to think about labor matters, I will take care of it."

Yang Jian is very satisfied with Yang Guang's execution ability, and he does things in a planned way, not blindly. "Your mother has prepared a trip. Your brothers will all go there, and all the men and women of the right age from the princes and countries will also be there. You should also prepare to play polo."

"Father, I've never been good at these amusement rides, so I'll just stay with you and let the younger brothers take part."

"No, work and rest should be combined. You can't just do things and not relax."

"My son obeys."

"And you did a great job last night. This group of people clearly opposed the construction of Daxing City, but they didn't lose at all when they were grabbing land."

Yang Jian was rarely happy these days.

"Go down first. If you do your job well, your reward will be indispensable."

"My son obeys."

After leaving the palace, Yang Guang walked towards the busiest market in Chang'an City and opened the curtain of the carriage. Although the streets of Chang'an City were a little messy, they were still very prosperous.

The smell of the nearby market is not pleasant. The more people there are, the more mixed the smell. The sanitary situation of Chang'an City has become worse and worse as the population has increased over the years.

The market is busy, but when they see a high-end carriage, everyone is very proactive and gets out of the way. The ordinary small traders have the best eyesight, and no one who makes a living here will block the carriage of a big shot without the sense of humor.

What's more, Yang Guang's carriage is accompanied by eight armed guards on horseback with swords. As a prince, it would be embarrassing for us to say otherwise without this kind of pomp.

Yang Guang came to the center of the market and was about to get out of the car when he was stopped by Wang Yi.

"My lord, there are so many people here. How can you, with your noble status, get out of the carriage at will? You take a look around in the carriage first and see which places you like. We will make a rough selection and then get off the carriage."

"Okay, where is the biggest place here? Just take me there."

The market in Chang'an City sells everything, including antiques, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and a lot of things from the Western Regions. However, the most prosperous thing is not these, but the people's teeth.

The wealthy nobles needed slaves. As the Sui Dynasty stabilized and the demand from the upper class increased, the volume of these trades would become larger and larger. There was also another demand that was increasing every year, brothel workers.

At this time, the best location in Chang'an Market was a splendidly decorated Renya store called [Hai Shi Inn].

This inn is not for people to live in, but the name of Yaxing is too unpleasant, so I chose the name of the inn.

Looking at the grand decoration, the building is even tall, but in the market, it has doors on all sides and is three stories high. The first floor is particularly open and tall. You can see the endless flow of people at the door and upstairs. There is even a special parking space for distinguished guests. , as soon as Yang Guang's carriage passed by, a boy came out to receive him.

This service awareness is also very advanced.

"Wang Yi, who runs this dental shop?"

"Back to Your Highness, it's Yu Wenshu."

There was no joy or sorrow on Yang Guang's face. Yu Wenshu was Yu Wenhuaji's father. This traitor was also the richest man in Chang'an. In the spirit of cutting off the capitalist's head with a broadsword, Yang Guang said: "Let's go in and take a look." Look, this place is nice, I like it.”

"Your Highness, there may be some difficulties here."

"Difficult?"

The corner of Yang Guang's mouth rose: "There is nothing difficult to do. I have thought of a good way to build a model house. After entering, I will let the people at the dental shop know that I am here and ask them to notify Yu Wenshu."
