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

Chapter 266 Times have changed
As Yuan Xian asked to meet Yang Guang, Xiao Cong smiled and said: "Prime Minister Yuan, why do you want to meet the King of Jin of the Sui Dynasty? I can tell you that if the other party also has the idea to meet with you, I will arrange it."

"Nothing, I just admired his name for a long time and wanted to meet him."

"Okay, I will tell King Jin about this. If King Jin also has ideas, I will make arrangements tonight."

Yuan Xian nodded and said: "Your Excellency, I am already very old. Being able to be with such a prosperous young man like you makes me feel younger even if I have to talk and talk."

"Prime Minister Yuan praised me. Being able to be with a wise man like Prime Minister Yuan has benefited us a lot."

After complimenting each other, today's peace talks are over. According to today's progress, everything can be settled tomorrow.

Xiao Cong came to Yang Guang. At this time, Yang Guangzheng and Xiao Yu were in Xiliang Bank, supervising the construction of the latest bank vault.

"Brother, did the conversation go smoothly today?"

Xiao Cong handed Yang Guang the paper that Yuan Xian gave him with the amount of money deposited by people in the group, and said, "As expected, we asked them to save money, and they saved more than we thought. There are more.”

Yang Guang smiled knowingly: "Things went well."

"By the way, Yuan Xian said he wanted to meet you, what do you think?"

Yang Guang thought for a while and said: "Let's meet him when we meet, but not now. When you all have an agreement, I will meet him briefly on the dock when they are going back."

"Row."

……

Five days later, the weather turned cooler significantly in the past few days. Nanchen's mission completed its mission and prepared to return. Xiao Cong personally delivered it to the port.

Before boarding the ship, Yuan Xian was directed to another warship in Xiliang.

As soon as he arrived on the deck, he saw heavily armed soldiers. A man with a fierce face holding a spear led him to the cabin.

In the cabin, a young man in brocade clothes was sitting, closing his eyes and concentrating, with a brazier beside him to keep warm.

Handsome and heroic, this was the first word that came to Yuan Xian's mind when he saw the young man.

Li Feng directed Yuan Xian to sit down next to him.

"Mr. Yuan, I heard that you want to see me."

"His Excellency, Prince Jin, I have heard about his name for a long time, so I thought it would be a good idea to meet him."

"Yuan Gongnan Tianzhu is so famous that seeing it once is better than hearing it a hundred times."

Exchanging pleasantries is always the best way to start a conversation.

After the useless pleasantries, Yuan Xian asked very bluntly: "Your Excellency, King Jin, the Xiliang Bank must also belong to you."

"Yes and no."

"Why do you say that?"

"I deposited a large amount of money into it, and Xiliang Bank also paid Sui coins to the Sui Dynasty. Calculating that part of Xiliang Bank should belong to the Sui Dynasty, but for my own sake, if this happens, Xiliang Bank will belong to the Sui Dynasty. , but that’s not personal to me.”

Yang Guang's words should be considered very clear, and an old guy like Yuan Xian can understand them instantly.

And only in this way can Yuan Xian be less suspicious.If Yang Guang denies that Xiliang Bank belongs to them, then Yuan Xian must be suspicious of whether there is some big conspiracy waiting for them, or whether they are trying to embezzle their property.

Yang Guang's straightforwardness can dispel some doubts.

Moreover, Yang Guang once again used his status as King of Jin to argue that self-interest is human nature, so doubts would be much lessened.

"His Excellency Prince Liang told me that if we Nanchen also support Xiliang Bank and support Xiliang's absolute neutrality, Xiliang Bank will also pay us New Year coins. I don't know about this matter. Has he discussed it with you? "

Yang Guang nodded and poured a cup of tea for Yuan Xian himself: "This matter was discussed with me, and I agreed."

"You and I, the North and the South, have never had a good relationship. No war is already considered the best relationship. How could we allow something like this to happen?"

"Mr. Yuan, we have pacified the Turks. The Turks were divided into two parts, the east and the west, and surrendered to us. Do you know how many people are in the court now shouting to beat you Nanchen?"

Yuan Xian frowned slightly: "It must be quite a lot."

"Not a few, but a lot, but I have different opinions from them. I think we can treat each other in a more peaceful way, and my ideas seem to coincide with my father's ideas, so now I use Northeast Goguryeo made excuses and asked me to come over and deal with the affairs of Xiliang and Nanchen."

"Then why did you send troops to attack our Poyang Port before?"

"Mr. Yuan, you can't unjustly accuse a good person. I have no conflict with the two traitors of the Xiao family. This is an internal matter of the Xiao family. I, the son-in-law of the Xiao family, can only stand aside and listen without expressing any opinions. It's just that my uncle My brother and father-in-law want to clear away the family’s shame, so if they ask me for a gun or a cannon, I’m too embarrassed not to give them.”

"Besides, the purpose of the two of them is very clear. It will not work if the traitors are not eliminated. I believe you can understand it, Mr. Yuan, if you put them in their perspective."

Yuan Xian immediately asked: "What did you mean when you said you planned to treat Nan Chen in a more peaceful way?"

"It concerns the internal affairs of our court, so I won't discuss it with Mr. Yuan in detail. Mr. Yuan only needs to know that I am dealing with the relationship with Nanchen now, so he will not take the initiative to start a war between you and us. But if the court changes its attitude, it will I can’t say for sure, after all, the general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite and if we unite for a long time, we will divide.”

"The general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will be reunited and it will be divided for a long time. King Jin is so young, but he has such insight."

"Mr. Yuan was so complimentary."

"Prince Jin, do you dare to promise that the money we deposit in Xiliang Bank will not be misappropriated by you."

"Why don't you dare? I, Yang Guang, can swear that I will never use my power to embezzle your assets. I have no money to spend it to this point. Our Sui Dynasty is not short of money, and I am not short of money."

Yang Guang smiled honestly: "It's just that I think there have been enough wars over the years, internal and external. Now the people are looking forward to peace, and so am I. You say war, but in the end it's just death." People have fought for land and money, it would be great if they could avoid fighting."

"Your Excellency, King Jin, is very kind and friendly. It is very admirable. This is the first time in all my life that I have seen someone like Your Excellency King Jin. I wonder if Your Highness can tell me a little bit about how you plan to get along with us, Da Chen, next?"

"Mr. Yuan just said it, so I won't say anything because it is related to internal affairs. However, I also admire Gong Yuan's style. There is a rush at the port for the first time today, and I hope to have tea and a visit to Gong Yuan's house in the future."

"I also hope to have more contact with young talents."

"Then it's settled. If I come to Nanchen, Mr. Yuan will have to entertain me well."

"We're setting sail today, so I won't bother His Excellency the King of Jin."

When Yuan Xian walked out of the cabin and walked down the deck, Yang Guang stopped him.

He turned around and looked, and Yang Guang smiled and bowed and said: "Mr. Yuan, the people hope for the prosperity of their families, the clans hope for the prosperity of their clans, and the ministers hope for the prosperity of the country. Those who follow the general trend of the world will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. I hope that Mr. Yuan will encourage me to do so." .”
