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

Chapter 18 The First Five-Year Plan

Li Jing had never thought about such a five-year unit plan, but he was extremely excited and the feeling of imagining the future made him feel like he was scolding Fang Qiu on the battlefield.

"First of all, what is the most important goal of the Jin Palace in these five years?"

Yang Guang asked the question, and Li Jing thought for a while and said, "It's money."

Yang Guang was a little surprised by Li Jing's answer, but he agreed with it.

"Why money."

Li Jing said bluntly: "Because there is no other choice, His Highness is the prince and must not support his own troops. This is the plan of his subordinates. His Highness has taken over the project of supervising the construction of Daxing City. The main city wall and palace will be delivered before the winter solstice next year." , at least for more than a year, His Highness should not be able to spare a lot of time to do other things. Even after it is completed, the east and west cities and various residential buildings in the city will be subsequently constructed. Daxing City will be the focus of His Highness in five years."

Yang Guang nodded: "I think so too. Daxing City will definitely be my focus in the past five years. Of course, I am not just a house builder. My plan for myself is to complete the main body of Daxing City within one year. The comprehensive construction of the east and west cities will be completed within this year, and within five years Daxing City will be more than twice the size of Chang'an."

He didn't say it clearly, but he was in charge of such a big project as Daxing City's urban construction. As long as he didn't mess around, he would definitely be able to earn a huge amount of assets.

If you can't seize power in a short period of time, you have to make money first and have a good reputation at the same time.

According to Yang Yong's character, he doesn't even need to gain a good reputation, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, that's it.

If you have money, you can travel anywhere, but if you don't have money, you can't move anywhere.

"The core goal of the first five-year plan is to make money. In addition to making money, what other important things do you think are there?"

Li Jing thought again: "Your Highness, if there is no war within five years, what will happen if there is a war?"

"If there is a war, lead the troops to the battlefield."

"There is never an absolute victory or defeat in a war. According to my opinion, if His Highness is under 15 years old, he will avoid it. If he is 15 years old, His Majesty has the will to fight again. Although military merit is important, victory will always belong to the last person alive. "

15 years old is the legal age of adulthood in Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang looked at Li Jing doubtfully. This boy's ideas were really mature. He even doubted whether Li Jing had traveled through time. But he quickly dispelled his doubts. This boy just had mature ideas. Everything else was what a ten-year-old child in this era should do. It looks like this, it's only right when you think about it, this is the military god in the future.

"If Your Highness wants to join the army, you must remember to establish a good image of yourself in the army."

Li Jing fell into deep thought again: "Your Highness, do you care about the affairs in various circles outside the court?"

Yang Guang smiled: "Heroes see the same thing. Although street gangsters are vulgar, they are indispensable."

In ancient times, people who were in the world were not in the mainstream. If they wanted to move up from being a gangster, they could only rely on the noble families, big and small landlords in various places. Those big gangs and heroes in martial arts dramas were mostly fake, even if they were The style of knight-errants was very popular during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and this was no exception.

Because a gang cannot grow without financial resources. Once it becomes big, powerful people from all over the country will come looking for it. In the face of real power, fists and kicks are of little use.

Any Jianghu gang that can become big must have someone behind it.

"What do you think should be done?"

Li Jing said softly: "I think His Highness still needs a way in the world. Although they are not popular, they can't live without it."

"Well, I have thought about it, but there is no suitable candidate for the time being. Let's wait and see. This matter has also been included as one of the key issues in the next five years. Make plans as soon as possible. There will be a mixture of good and bad people in the east and west cities. You can choose from them. .”

"Yes, there are two markets, the east and west. The west market is called the Benevolent City, and the east market is called the metropolitan city. The west market connects the materials from the western regions, and the east market is the market for the powerful. Treasures from all directions are collected. For these two What is the plan of His Highness?"

Yang Guang thought for a while: "These two places will be the commercial and trade centers of Daxing City and even the entire Da Sui Dynasty in the future, especially the trade in the Western Regions. One trip of goods can be multiplied several times at least. If we want to establish Jianghu gangs and control the Western City Maybe it’s the best solution.”

"Yes, Your Highness, but there must be a lot of people looking at this piece of fat. Dong City has tribute items from various places, all of which are valuable. Compared with Dong City, it will definitely be more orderly and better to control in the future."

Yang Guang stood up and walked away: "Dongshi is indeed not bad, and things from Luoyang are connected to Dongshi. Luoyang will also be a treasure land in the future."

"Your Highness, do you prefer Luoyang?" "Yes."

In fact, looking at the history of the development of Chinese civilization, we can see that after the era of division, the capital was slowly moving eastward. Changes in the environment, the movement of the economic center, and later the development of navigation all caused the overall center of gravity to shift eastward.

How could you not care about Luoyang, the capital of the East?

Li Jing said: "Your Highness, why don't you look south and see the land of Jiangling."

Jiangling is now Xiliang. Xiliang is between Nanchen and Sui Dynasty. Now there is only Jiangling (Jingzhou). The relationship between Jiangling and Yang Guang is that his future wife is the princess of Xiliang.

As the object of marriage, Yang Jian and his wife felt that it was only a matter of time before they annexed Xiliang. Now Xiliang had to please the Sui Dynasty first if it wanted to survive.

"What does Jiangling say?"

"It will be a matter of time for the Sui Dynasty to go south to the Chen Dynasty. Jiangling will be used as an outpost to attack Chen. Your Highness can make use of his relationship with the future Princess of Jin to make good friends with Xi Liang. Your Majesty now focuses on appeasing Xi Liang, which proves that your Majesty wants to Without launching a war to annex Western Liang, if Your Highness can advance this matter, Your Majesty will be satisfied, and once the annexation occurs, the dignitaries of Western Liang will definitely rely on Your Highness, which will also be a great help to Your Highness in the future."

Yang Guang nodded: "Promoting the annexation of Xiliang is also included in the five-year key projects. If these things are completed in five years, it will be almost done."

Five years later, I will be in my prime.

The two talked all night long and determined the goals of the first five-year plan.

Focusing on economic construction, we took root in the urban construction projects of Daxing City, maintained our public image, secretly established civil gang organizations to cultivate strength, controlled the market, penetrated Luoyang, and promoted the annexation of Xiliang.

In the next few days, Yang Guang and Yu Wenkai were working on the model house step by step, and the time soon came for the spring outing.

According to the current date, it is actually summer, but Xia You feels strange that it is still called Spring Outing.

For a time, the whole Chang'an City was bustling with excitement. Under escort, the Queen's chariot passed through the main street of Chang'an City and headed out of the city. Behind it were the young men from various families riding horses. The girls in the boudoir could only pass through in carriages. The car curtains swayed slightly in the wind and looked outside.

Those who can be invited to participate in the spring outing are all high-ranking families and aristocratic families. Many high-ranking women accompany them to choose partners for their daughters and sons. The heads of families generally do not participate.

Yang Guang, who is riding a horse, is wearing a black robe embroidered with gold threads. He is a young man with outstanding demeanor.

On the left is Li Jing, and on the right is his third brother Qin Wang Yang Jun. Yang Jun is two years younger than Yang Guang. He is an 11-year-old little boy, but he can also get married in this era.

Further ahead is the prince Yang Yong.

"Second brother, I heard that my mother has chosen a concubine for you."

"Well, this time I will take this opportunity to meet openly."

Yang Jun was noncommittal. He had a very upright character and spoke straightforwardly: "The mother's standard for selecting her daughter-in-law is not to look at face. The eldest brother's concubines and concubines are all like that. The second brother should pay more homage to himself."

After saying that, Yang Jun rode forward and came to Yang Yong's side: "Brother, aren't you already married, so what are you doing here? Do you have bad intentions towards other women in the boudoir? Are you picking on others?"

"Eating inside and out?"

"Eat what's in the pot and pull what's outside the pot."

Yang Yong's face twitched, facing his innocent and arrogant younger brother, he really wanted to beat him up.

Yang Guang was happy behind him, and Yang Yong took the opportunity to glare at Yang Guang.

"Brother, my eldest sister-in-law went to complain to my mother yesterday. I was present at the time, and my eldest sister-in-law said that my eldest brother was not working hard."
