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

Chapter 34 Let’s get started
Soon the day for the groundbreaking of Daxing City came, and Yang Guang followed Yang Jian to Daxing City, a wasteland.

Construction has not yet started, but eight high towers have been built, allowing people to go up and see further, observe the current construction status of Daxing City, and serve as supervisors.

Yang Jian looked around on the wasteland, as if he had seen the majestic imperial city in the future. He was in a good mood and called Yu Wenkai to come: "Yu Wenkai, this place is rich in water and grass, and it is a lucky place. I will meet you on the day when Daxing City is built. I will reward you well, now you don’t have to worry about anything else, just build Daxing City for me wholeheartedly.”

"The minister leads the order."

Yang Yong looked at Yang Jian's command from the side, and then saw Yang Guang following behind without saying a word, feeling depressed.

He is now even more worried that Daxing City has been built. Yang Jian will personally direct it, and Yang Guang is in charge. This is not a mistake.

After making arrangements, Yang Jian called Yang Guang: "Prince Jin."

"My son is here."

"The construction of Daxing City will begin today. I have recruited 15 civilians from all over the country. They will arrive one after another. Now there are 2 civilians. Yu Wenkai wants to build drainage first. What do you think?"

"It should be."

"The flush toilet built by you and Yu Wenkai, combined with the drainage system, can indeed greatly alleviate the sewage problem in the future. Let's build it well. If you encounter problems or insufficient funds, come to me more. You don't need to come to the palace. Notify and save time.”

"My son, thank you father and emperor."

Yang Jian came today and brought a group of ministers over. He took the sand table made by Yang Guang and showed off to these people.

Some of them who had already bought a house were cheerful.

"Mr. Bao Guo, I heard that you spent thirty-five thousand yuan to buy a courtyard from someone else. It's really grand."

"Hey, these courtyards are worth the price. It was a discount given to us by His Majesty before. And look at how close this location is to the palace. You can see the palace every day, as if His Majesty is right in front of you. If Your Majesty has anything to do with me, please contact me. So as not to keep His Majesty waiting.”

Yu Wenshu said with a smile and flattered him. Yang Jian did not stop him, but listened with a slight smile. On a day like this, they must have a good talk, increase the excitement, and ask other ministers to come quickly.

Seeing that the emperor was so satisfied, Yuwenshu struck while the iron was hot and said: "To be honest with you, after I bought this compound, many people came to ask me if I could sell it for 4 yuan, but I refused. If we really sat down to talk, it would definitely be more than four people." Wan Guan, when it is completed, it should be easy to double it. I have benefited from His Majesty, and I have to thank Your Majesty."

Yang Jian smiled and pointed at Duke Bao: "People say that Duke Bao has far-sightedness, and it is true."

"Yo yo yo, Your Majesty, you have disgraced this old minister."

After these words, the atmosphere became more intense, and the ministers surrounding the emperor asked: "When will your majesty's other districts start selling them again? We also want to buy one as soon as possible."

Is this asking about the house?This depends on the direction of the wind and indicates loyalty.

“Can it also have the same scale as the previous sales area?”

Yang Jian looked at Yang Guang: "Prince Jin, let me tell you."

Everyone's eyes turned to Yang Guang, and Yang Guang walked forward: "There are no more buildings with only two sets of courtyards in each district like the previous one. If only two sets of courtyards are built, then the land in Daxing City will be empty." It’s not enough.”

As soon as these words came out, the nobles who had received the yard before were very happy. There was high room for price increase, the location was good, and resources were scarce. What do you call this? This is called a high-quality core asset.

"If you want these yards, you can register at the Daxing City Sales Center in the current Haishi Inn in Chang'an City. Once there is any outflow, interested parties will be notified. However, you will have to pay a [-]% handling fee when the transaction is completed. Of course, you can also talk about it yourself."

There is no doubt that this kind of resource will not flow out in a short time.

"Except for these four districts, the other districts will start to sell once they are planned. Daxing City is a brand new city, and all the plans will be very reasonable, such as hospitals, schools, good districts, and you can walk two or three miles. You can reach the medical center and the school in just a few steps, with all the facilities available, especially in the area surrounding the imperial city. We will notify everyone in due course."

Yu Wenshu answered: "Your Highness, you must remember to inform me first. I am still thinking of buying more pieces of land. My son is afraid that he will not be able to divide it when the time comes, hahaha."

This is the benefit of being one of our own. Yu Wenshu and Yang Guang's interests are bound together. He always speaks for Yang Guang and tries his best to support Yang Guang.

"Everyone has one more thing. My father has unified the currency system. Now we are making five-baht coins. In the future, when selling houses in Daxing City, five-baht coins will be given priority."

Yang Jian looked at Yang Guang with great admiration. This second son was sensible. He took care of his eldest son when he had done his own work well. In short, he was promoting his own policies.Yang Yong could only smile, feeling that Yang Guang was completely out of the limelight, and he was praised for not wearing any trace of the limelight.

The atmosphere at the scene was lively. The ministers who had previously opposed the construction of Daxing City at least did not dare to get into trouble at this juncture. Although Yang Jian was not a person who could not listen to opinions, everyone had a temper. Wouldn't he be seeking death by jumping out at this time?
Suddenly, a minister suggested: "Today's groundbreaking of Daxing City is a first-class event. Why don't you please give your Majesty a few words of congratulations?"

Yang Jian looked forward to it.

"His Royal Highness, please come first. Your Highness has always been talented in literature. I am looking forward to your beautiful words."

The person who made the suggestion was a minister from the prince's party. Because he knew that Yang Yong was indeed good at writing, he thought that he had to let the prince shine at this time.

Yang Guang also felt good about Yang Yong's literary talent.

Finally it was Yang Yong's turn. Yang Yong naturally obliged, walked out with his head held high, looked far away and said: "My son is willing to compose a poem for Daxing City."

"The pine water is full of moonlight, and the Mengshan Mountain is majestic."

"There are tall buildings in the northwest, but they are not as tall as the city."

"The immortal fell into the world by mistake and found himself in the heavenly palace."

Before Yang Yong could stop, the anxious ministers hurriedly flattered him: "His Royal Highness is so talented in literature."

"The best in the world, unparalleled."

Yang Jian was also quite satisfied with this and nodded in appreciation.

"His Royal Highness, you have finished writing your poems. Your Highness, Prince Jin, should also show your skills."

Yang Guang was disdainful, what the hell?

I just want Yang Yong’s literary talents to surpass mine, right? Are you kidding me? Although I can’t write poetry, I can still recite it.

But before Yang Guang could say anything, Yang Jun stood up first: "I'll go first."

Yang Yong was a little dissatisfied with the third brother who interrupted him: "Why is the third brother so anxious?"

Yang Jun was really anxious, and when he was waiting to pay his respects, he said, "I have nothing to say, so I wish my father good luck in the construction of Daxing City."

Everyone laughed, Yang Jian just smiled and shook his head, then saw Yang Jun running away, and everyone's eyes fell back on Yang Guang.

"I'm not good at poetry, but I feel inspired by it today, so I'll write a few sentences."

"The crimson rooster announces the dawn, and he wears his clothes before entering the green cloud fur."

"The nine heavens close the palace, and all nations wear their crowns and pay their respects."

After just two sentences, everyone was stunned on the spot. Even the emperor himself was dumbfounded. What kind of description is this? What does it mean to open the palace with the nine heavens? What does it mean to wear the clothes and crowns of all nations?

The picture that comes to mind is simply inspiring.

I imagined what Daxing City would look like if this could really be the case.

But before he could praise him, a guard came eagerly and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear. The emperor's face darkened, and all the excitement of the day was gone.

The border is thousands of miles away: The Turkic Shabolu Khan provoked a war in the name of revenge for the master of Princess Qianjin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and war broke out on the border.

Yang Jian's face was livid. He had been immersed in the imagination of Yang Guang's poems just now, but now he had to put everything aside and return to the palace.

"Go and announce that Sun Sheng, the captain of Chedu, is here to discuss important matters."
