Chapter 17: Your heart is hard to predict

"Report to Your Majesty, I heard that the cattle and sheep that Yang Yuanqing supplied to the Shengjia this time were all obtained from the Turks, and there were a total of 120,000 heads. The Holy Church."

Yang Guang laughed, "What's the matter? He must be exchanging tea with the Turks. Isn't it normal for trade? Besides, Wuyuan County has less than 100,000 people. How can he offer food for my 500,000 army? Yuwen Aiqing, you have a little bit of a soldier."

"Your Majesty, it is not that my ministers are all soldiers. The court has regulations. As a border general, he cannot trade with the Turks without authorization. If he exchanges through merchants, he can do so. I have nothing to say, but he did not do that. Instead, he directly sent people to trade with the Turks. He was so successful that he would be fed with the Turks. I suspect that he had collusion with the Turks."

Yang Guang shook his head, "Yuwen Aiqing, this matter is not what you think. Maybe his approach is a bit inappropriate, but it is understandable, how could these border generals not deal with the Turks? Some of the rules of the court were also set by civil officials. They did not understand the truth. If Yang Yuanqing colluded with the Turks, this hat would be a bit too big. It is impossible. I understand him."

Yuwen Shu wanted to say something else, but Yang Guang waved his hand and didn't want to listen anymore. Yuwen Shu gritted his teeth and threw out his killer move, "But your Majesty, Yang Yuanqing would rather trade with the Turks in violation of regulations, but refused to pay money from the Fengzhou military and civilians. Is he buying people's hearts?"

Yang Guang's face changed and he slapped the table hard, "Yuwen Shu, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will not forgive you, leave!"

Yuwen Shu hated Yang Yuanqing to the core. He finally seized Yang Yuanqing's handle and sued him in front of the emperor, but he did not expect that the emperor would favor Yang Yuanqing so partially and almost turn against him. He hated him, but he had no choice but to retreat in disappointment.

But just as the black cat screamed, although it had no effect, it still made people realize the existence of the black cat. Yuwen Shu's last sentence, "Is he buying people's hearts?" was engraved heavily in Yang Guang's heart.

Yang Guang was shocked to realize that Yang Yuanqing had been in Fengzhou for almost ten years, and no general manager could stay in a certain place for ten years. Although Yang Yuanqing had not been the general manager for a long time, he had been in Fengzhou for nearly ten years. I believe he had feelings for Fengzhou, so he could not bear to pay extra taxes to Fengzhou's military and civilians. ("7*

Yang Guang walked slowly in the room with his hands behind his back. One of the important reasons why he came to Wuyuan County to inspect was that he was preparing to follow the Han Dynasty and develop Hetao on a large scale. As Wei Siyun said in his memorial, Hetao would become a major strategic place to curb the Turks.

Frankly speaking, he was going to continue to let Yang Yuanqing stay in Hetao. The battle of Dali City left an extremely deep impression on Yang Guang. The 100,000 powerful Xueyantuo people could not conquer Dali City, which was guarded by 6,000 people, and was almost wiped out. With Yang Yuanqing in Hetao, the Turks did not dare to cross Yinshan.

But if he really immigrated to develop Hetao on a large scale and finally let Yang Yuanqing manage a Hetao Plain with a population of one million, will he develop ambition? Just like Yuwen Shu's worries, he is buying people's hearts.

Yang Guang fell into a long period of contemplation. I don’t know how long it took, but the report from an eunuch interrupted Yang Guang’s contemplation, “Your Majesty, there is information from the Ministry of Rites.”

“Support it!”

An eunuch presented a piece of folded paper with a golden plate. Yang Guang opened the note expressionlessly. It should be some information about Yang Xuangan. Yang Su has been dead for two years, but he still has influence in the court, which made Yang Guang quite afraid of the Yang family and sent someone to keep an eye on Yang Xuangan's every move.

Of course, Yang Guang's intention was not to suspect that Yang Xuangan wanted to rebel or something. He just wanted to seize some of Yang Xuangan's handles and use as an excuse to dismiss him when necessary.

Yang Guang regularly receives a report about Yang Xuangan, but it is usually trivial matters and does not constitute a reason to dismiss him. Yang Xuangan is quite cautious. After a long time, Yang Guang is no longer very interested in this report.

He just opened it casually and glanced at the report content, but when he saw the report clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank into a line, with only one sentence written inside, "Yang Yuanqing paid a visit to Xuangan, and both sides talked about the father-son relationship."

Yang Yuanqing's camp is located in the north of ** City and is composed of nearly a hundred large tents. Yang Yuanqing, Wei Siyun and some more important officials all live in it, and there are more than a thousand soldiers.

As soon as Yang Yuanqing returned to the tent, he saw a person standing at the door of his tent and slowly approaching. He recognized the person waiting for him, Cui Zhi, the tea supervisor.

Cui Zhi had been waiting for Yang Yuanqing for a long time. Seeing that Yang Yuanqing finally came back, he hurried forward to salute, "See General Yang!"

Yang Yuanqing suddenly thought of Yu Wenji's caravan. It was probably because there was news, so he waved his hand and smiled, "Eunuch Cui asked for a conversation in the account."

Yang Yuanqing's tent was very simple, with a table and a blanket, a wooden box in the corner, his personal belongings, and a weapon stand, which contained his halberd and bows.

The lights in the tent were bright. Yang Yuanqing took off his heavy armor when he entered the tent and felt relaxed. He asked Cui Zhi with a smile, "Is it news about Hanhai Caravan?"

Cui Zhi nodded, "They came to buy tea early this morning and bought five hundred dans of tea."

"Are you sure it's the Hanhai Caravan?"

"Yes, it was them, indeed, who went to their caravan to confirm."

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and asked again: "Since you have gone to their caravan, how many mules and horses do they have?"

"Reported to General Manager Yang, there are about three or four hundred mules and horses, dozens of camels, a total of more than fifty people."

Yang Yuanqing frowned. The information that Fat Fish investigated for him was thousands of mules and horses, more than 400 camels, and more than 300 people, which was obviously much smaller.

"Where is that car? Is there a big car?"

"The cart didn't see it."

Yang Yuanqing roughly understood a little in his heart. It was obvious that the Hanhai caravan was separated, and the contraband was transported by another group of people, and the tea was just a cover.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, Envoy Cui, come and report the message. Please make sure to keep it a secret for me."

"Don't worry, General Yang, I won't say much, I'll say goodbye!"

Cui Zhi bowed and said goodbye. Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and ordered: "Call Yang Si and Yang Wu!"

After a moment, Yang Silang and Yang Wulang walked into the tent and bowed, "Young Master is looking for us?"

"Leave it to you something, bring a few brothers to keep an eye on the Hanhai Caravan for me..."

Yang Yuanqing whispered a few words to them, and the two of them took the order. Yang Yuanqing looked at their backs that disappeared in the dark, and smiled to himself, "Yuwenshu, I am very willing to accompany you!"

Yang Guang's sage continued to move forward and gradually accelerated. Three days later, Yang Guang's sage finally arrived at Dali City on the bank of the North Yellow River. Due to the obstruction of Pu Taoyuan, the city could no longer move forward and stopped ten miles away from Dali City.

The endless Pujiao Orchard aroused great interest from Yang Guang and the officials. Millions of Pujiao vines emerged together, and the tender green branches formed a light green ocean, which was extremely spectacular.

Yang Guang stood on the female wall of ** City, stroked his beard and looked at the endless pole peaches, his eyes full of admiration. He smiled at Queen Xiao and said, "There are more than 100 pole peaches in our Xi Nei Garden. Zi Tong also said it was very spectacular, but compared to the pole peaches here, our pole peaches are really a drop in the ocean."

Queen Xiao did not agree with her husband's words, and Yanran smiled and said, "The emperor's words are unfair. Our poacea is just for viewing, so it is rare. This is for winemaking. Of course, we plant poaceae. There are also thousands of trees and thousands of flowers in our Xi Nei Garden. If all poaceae are planted, I think it is more spectacular than this one."

"Haha! Zi Tong's words make sense, but I still think there are too few Pu Taolin here."

Yang Guang turned around and smiled at Yang Yuanqing who was standing aside and said, "Yang Aiqing, I will give you two years to plant three hundred miles of pomelo forest for me."

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the water consumes a lot of water. At least hundreds of ditches have to be dug in the 300-li Puerar Forest, and not many people can grow the Puerar...."

"Then are you rejecting my proposal?" Yang Guang interrupted him and looked at him with a smile.

Yang Yuanqing hurriedly said, "I dare not, I just have a plan. If Your Majesty agrees, I think it can be done."

"What plan do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the land in the Hetao area is currently owned by the government, and is mainly distributed to immigrants by equal land. I suggest that some of the land be sold to the rich people in the world, and that these wealthy people will come to Hetao to grow Popes and make wine. I think that within three years, Popes and Popes can enter ordinary families."

"Everyone is here to grow rose apples, what should I do if there is food?" Yang Guang asked for a moment of thought.

"Your Majesty, Pujiao is just a side business, and grain is the main business. I will take the additional condition of growing grain. One acre of Pujiao must be matched with one acre of grain. In the future, the Pujiao will be only a small part of it, and most of it will be growing grain. I just want Hejiao to become the origin of Pujiao wine in the Sui Dynasty, and there is no need to transport wine from thousands of miles from the Western Regions."

Yang Guang nodded, "You can write a memorandum. If there is no major problem, I can agree!"

"His Majesty!"

The Right Guard General Shi Xiang rushed over to report, "There are Pu Tao Forests in front of me, and the ** City cannot move forward. Are you allowed to open a road?"

"No need! Such a spectacular Plum Forest is ruined, it's a pity. I rode my horse forward."

Yang Guang and all the officials transferred to horses, tens of thousands of soldiers guarded them closely, and headed towards Dali City along the Putao Garden Middle Avenue.

As soon as Yang Yuanqing turned over the horse, a personal soldier rushed over and grabbed his horse and reported in a low voice: "General, Yang Si sent news that the two caravans had already joined the south of Xiling Ferry and were about to cross the river. Yuwen Zhiji was found in the caravan."

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed. He immediately turned around and waved to Pei Xingyan. Pei Xingyan urged him to come forward and salute, "Please give me orders, General!"

Yang Yuanqing whispered to him: "You bring a thousand brothers to arrest this caravan, and you must be both stolen!"
