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

Chapter 147 The general trend of the world belongs to me
"Brother Xuangan, how does this sugar taste?"

"Very sweet, very sweet."

Yang Xuangan filled a spoon with a spoonful of sugar and poured it into his mouth. This was something Yang Guang had done recently. It just so happened that Yang Xuangan was here today and he wanted to let Yang Xuangan taste it.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, this thing will definitely fetch a big price."

Yang Guang didn't expect to make a lot of money when he made white sugar. He just needed some small inventions for traveling through time: glass, white sugar, and refined salt. Yang Guang took advantage of this period of time to make both salt and white sugar. For salt, sea salt can be washed away with harmful substances after triple washing. It's basically OK, and sea salt can officially become the salt used by the people.

White sugar is a bit more difficult to make. There is no sucrose these days, so Yang Guang has to start over. Then, add water to the yellow mud soup to make white sugar.

Mononitrate, disulfide, and carbonic acid, add some white sugar to make money. For Yang Guang, selling the sugar is secondary, mainly because it can increase the power of the firearm.

"Brother Xuangan, why are you here today?"

Yang Xuangan didn't answer and swallowed another mouthful of sugar without any scruples. He took big spoonfuls of sugar, intending to get enough of it and hit his insulin.

After eating a lot, Yang Xuangan said, "Father told me to come and ask His Highness if there is anything I can help you with."

At this time, it had been almost a month since Yang Yong's expedition. The frontline military report was that the army had joined Yang Hong's troops and was now being commanded by Yang Hong to prepare for a counterattack.

The price of food in the city has been rising steadily during this period. It is not as sharp as it was at the beginning, but it is still growing slowly. The rate of growth during this period is still not low.

Yang Guang said to Yang Xuangan: "There is nothing to do recently. When you go back later, bring some candy back to your father and let him try it too."

"Then give me more. It's very delicious and sweet."

Yang Xuangan was rude.

Yang Guang asked curiously: "Why do you treat the things in my house like your own?"

"Your Highness, you said it yourself that I can come to your house often and treat it like my own home. A man must always keep his word."

Yang Guang smiled helplessly: "It seems that I have to be more careful when talking to you next time."

While the two were talking and laughing, Yu Wenhuaji arrived and came to Yang Guang's side and said softly: "Your Highness, my father ordered me to report that the military ration inventory in the city has been consumed more than half."

Yang Guang nodded: "Yes, I understand. Li Dong, who collects the most grain, is still looking for a new warehouse. During this period, he has made a lot of money."

"When will your Highness close the net?"

"Just wait for an opportunity."

Li Yuan also arrived after a while. He didn't have an appointment today but everyone came very neatly.

Li Yuan came to report to Yang Guang on the cement situation: "Your Highness, the cement production is in good condition."

It is true that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Since Yang Guang offered a heavy reward to develop cement, the craftsmen have spent all their efforts on research and development.

Some people also invented the use of waterwheels to crush and crush. This can be regarded as a step in accelerating the industrialization process. In the future, steam engines may still be used.

At this time, Yang Guang looked at the three people around him, Yang Xuangan, Yu Wenji, and Li Yuan. He didn't want to know. He was shocked when he thought about it. Inexplicably, he was surrounded by people who had rebelled against him in history. Isn't this just shaking? Will the copywriting often pushed by Yin Shang wake up to be full of traitors?

Historically, Yang Xuangan rebelled against Yang Guang during his second campaign in Goguryeo. Yuwenji rebelled against Yang Guang when he was in Yangzhou. Yang Guang was still in his hands. Li Yuan was smarter. The situation of the Sui Dynasty was not external, and the two Phoenixes blew the wind, which turned the Sui Dynasty against the outside world.

Yang Guang touched his chin at this time and thought: "This situation is wrong. Why are there all the rebels around me for no reason? Besides, except for Yang Xuangan, who is not yet enlightened, the other two are really loyal to him. I can't tell." What’s wrong is that people are different from what is recorded in history.”

"Yu Wenhuaji in history was a greedy and arrogant man, known as a frivolous young man. However, the Yu Wenhuaji in front of us is a kind-hearted man with strong martial arts skills. He has not shown any sinister and sinister colors so far. On the contrary, he has saved his own life, which is the same as in history. The record is completely different.”

"Li Yuan was historically the stepping stone for Li Shimin to become emperor. His success as emperor was entirely due to Li Shimin, a genius general. He was a foolish man with bad luck, unclear rewards and punishments, and unjustly killed heroes. But the Li Yuan in front of him had extraordinary qualities. He is mature and calm as an ordinary person, he is steady and methodical in doing things, he basically makes no mistakes when he gives instructions when doing things, and his execution ability is better than mine."

"Yang Xuangan is still a fool as recorded in history."

No, no, if I take full advantage of these people, what will I do if all of them are so ambitious?
Yang Guang looked at the three of them in confusion, but the three of them didn't know why Yang Guang looked at them in confusion.

"Why does Your Highness look at us like this?"

"nothing."

Yang Xuangan said, "Your Highness just frowned. He should be worried about us."

He looked at Yang Xuangan in surprise, wondering if this guy was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and asked, "What am I worried about you for?"

Yang Xuangan said bluntly: "I don't know about the two of them. If His Highness is worried about me, is he afraid that I will eat up all the sweets in His Highness's house?" Yang Guang's face was solemn. If the sweets at home were replaced by grain and grass, It is true that what Yang Guang is worried about is that Yang Xuangan will cut off his food and grass in the future. Is this a coincidence or is there something wrong with this guy?
Then I remembered that Yang Xuangan had been to the house many times during this period, and there should be no problem getting along with him. This was probably a coincidence, and I was too sensitive to associate it with him.

He laughed it off and casually found an excuse to say: "I have nothing to worry about you. I am worried about the price of food now, so I thought more about it."

But Yang Xuangan continued: "Your Highness, don't worry about me eating your candy. You can make more. If you have too much candy, I won't be able to finish it all. You can share it with them. If there is enough candy for everyone, it will be fine."

Yang Guang was shaken in his heart, trying not to let it appear superficially. This stupid boy really hit the key point in just one sentence.

There is nothing good or bad about the person in front of me. I have enough "candy" to share with them. They are more loyal than anyone else. I don't have enough "candy". Everyone is coming to grab it. The country has been overturned. How can I say that I am loyal to you? Evil.

When the empire is restored and the court is stable, if you want to rebel, you are a traitor; when chaos and chaos arise, if you do not rebel, you are a fool.

These people are all famous people in history, and they are all capable people. But as long as the Sui Dynasty is stable, these people will be good ministers and generals. As long as you can give them enough "candy", not only will they not The people I want to worry about are the heroes who opened up my territory for me.

The torrent of the world is rolling, and those who go with it will prosper and perish. These people are all people who go with the flow, and I am

Rolling torrent!

Thinking of this, Yang Guang felt much more at ease. He pulled the three of them and said, "I don't know why I feel so friendly when I see you three. Maybe it's fate from my previous life."

Yang Xuangan answered decisively: "Then let's sworn sworn brothers, Your Highness."

The other two people were shocked, thinking that Yang Xuangan was talking nonsense.

Li Yuan immediately objected: "What's going on with His Highness sworn sworn sworn vows with us? His Highness is a member of the royal family, so it's absolutely forbidden."

Yang Guang knew that it was impossible for him to become a sworn sworn brother because of his identity. He thought for a while and said: "Let's see, we are very compatible. We jointly established the [Jinwangfu Board of Directors]. The board of directors is similar to a small court meeting, just the four of us." , we come to Jin Prince’s Mansion to meet every 15th day of the Lunar New Year to exchange experiences and information. Since the four of us are similar in age, we can do everything together."

Li Yuan and Yu Wenhuaji immediately realized that this board of directors was actually a small imperial court, and they understood Yang Guang's true intentions.

If they didn't make it clear, it would be hard for them to say anything now. Now that they have made it clear, the two of them immediately saluted: "We are willing to follow His Highness the King of Jin."

Yang Xuangan on the side looked innocent: "Are you two also coming to King Jin's place to eat sweets? Then please explain in advance that you can't take my share. His Highness, King Jin, has a lot of sweets here. Let's each eat our own."

Yang Guang laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you always speak concisely, but you are right. Starting today, we have to divide the work and cooperate."

Li Yuan and Yu Wenhuaji were both waiting for Yang Guang to give orders.

"Brother Yuwen, you are very skilled in martial arts and have many friends. I want you to continue to develop and grow in the army now. Don't be in a hurry and just take your time. You don't want to rush forward. We are still young. I will help you take your time in the court. Go up slowly."

Yang Guang spoke so clearly that Yu Wenhuaji immediately responded: "Yu Wenhuaji has your order."

"Cousin, you have a heavy burden now. I have already told you about your future plans. When Daxing City is completed and the imperial city is relocated, I will arrange a position of real power for you based on your merits and rewards."

"Li Yuan has the order."

One was developing in the direction of military generals, the other was heading in the direction of infrastructure industry, and finally Yang Guang's eyes fell on Yang Xuangan.

"Brother Yang, I will introduce you to Mr. Wang Long, a bachelor. Mr. Wang Long is now in charge of the Ivy League. If you follow him, I believe that the old gentleman will give me face."

"Yes."

Yang Xuangan is as wise as he is foolish, but he seems to be unable to entrust him with important responsibilities now. Why not let him go to school. When you become enlightened and mature, if you can stay in school, it will be equivalent to controlling the future world context.

The core small group has been initially formed today, and Yang Guang has also arranged the development direction for them.

The guard from the palace came over and said, "Your Highness, a messenger has come to the palace."

"Did my father summon me to the palace?"

"The Empress has invited His Highness Prince Jin and Zhenren Sun to go to the Hanwang Mansion together. If the situation is urgent, please be sure to take Zhenren Sun with you."

"Ah? What's going on? What's wrong with Lao Wu?"

"The messenger didn't say anything, but it seems very urgent."

Yang Guangyi wanted to use Sun Simiao, so it must have been a physical matter. The Queen sent someone to call urgently. It was very possible that something had happened to Lao Wu.

"I'm going to invite Master Sun. You quickly arrange the carriage and notify the princess to accompany me."
