Chapter 482

Not to mention that Yu Shiji was confused, even Yang Guang looked at the old driver Yuwen with an inexplicable look.

Jiangdu Ship Supervisor, I am afraid that this is just an official the size of sesame and green beans. You are the best minister in front of the emperor.

Are you embarrassed to impeach that thing?

Yang Guang stroked his strong beard, but gradually he came back to the smell. "Why did Yuwenqing say this?"

Seeing the emperor's answer, Yu Wen Shu knew that he was indeed wrong and said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty's dragon boat has been destroyed at the end of the seventh year of Daye, and has issued an order to the Jiangdu Palace Shipyard to build a new boat at the right time."

"The Jiangnan is peaceful and the industries are prosperous, but the Jiangdu Shipyard has been passively lazy. It has been two years since then, but the dragon boat has not been completed.

Therefore, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty immediately rebukes him and asks him to build a boat and ship quickly and serve him in front of Your Majesty’s imperial guards.”

"Well, the words of Yuwenqing's family are very consistent with my wishes. The dragon boat has been supervised for two years, but there has been no news yet. I really should be scolded.

Let’s do this, I’ll issue an order to let the Xiao Yangqing family be responsible for the matter. In this way, I think no one dares to neglect this matter any more.”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang stroked his strong beard and said, "Compared to others, I trust Xiao Yangqing's family more."

"Elder General, why are you?" Yu Shiji and Yu Wen Shu left the Political Consultative Hall together, and Yu Shiji couldn't help asking.

Although the relationship between the two is not very good, they are at least the most trusted people around His Majesty, and they often deal with each other.

After hearing this, Yuwen Shu raised the corner of her mouth slightly. "Can't you still hear what Your Majesty mean?"

"After asking about Jiangnan, I'm afraid that your Majesty has already become more interested in going to the southern tour again."

Yu Shiji looked at Yu Wen Shu with shock, but Yu Wen Shu still said without stopping.

"Why did I mention dragon boats? I actually want to delay one or two."

"After all, if the dragon boat wants to be cultivated, it will be better next year. Next year, if Your Majesty still insists on going south, then you will go south again."

Yu Shiji bowed to Yuwen Shu. "The officials have received the teachings."

Yuwen Shu glanced at Yu Shiji and said lightly. "I have always been unable to stand you, such a thoughtful civil servant."

"I think you look down on me like a barbarian, but I think I should make it clear in person."

"Now, the only ministers around Your Majesty are you and me. Even if you and I cannot help each other, I think I will definitely not want the Sui Dynasty to be in turmoil."

"It's a pity that Your Majesty doesn't listen. You and I can at least protect yourself by your Majesty's side. As for the others, I'm afraid..."

"I am nearly 70 years old and don't have much time to live. The only thing I worry about is my descendants, alas..."

Looking at Yuwen Shu, who looked quite desolate on his back, Yu Shiji opened his mouth and finally did not stop him.

Today's heart-to-heart talk must be because of the increasingly difficult situation today.

#####

"Dragon Boat... Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really intriguing." Yang Qian threw the letter from Yu Shiji in his hand on the table, and he was in a bad mood.

I was really convinced by Yang Guang's slutty operation. At that time, the Sui Dynasty had turned into devastated and rags.

Yang Guang actually had the leisure and elegance to give himself an order to take on the burden of Jiangdu Shipyard and build dragon boats for the trip to the east.

"Dragon Boat?" The heroic woman beside her was leaning lazily on the couch at this moment. When she heard Yang Qian speak, she looked at Yang Qian like a tired cat.

"Yes, our Majesty is probably going to have the idea of ​​a southern tour again. However, as the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, if he had no dragon boat, wouldn't he have been defied?"

"The dragon boats before have been damaged. Now let me be responsible for supervising the construction of the dragon boats. I hope I can live up to Your Majesty's high hopes and complete the construction as soon as possible and send it to Dongdu."

"Ha..." The young lady smiled coldly. "The world is in chaos, and there is still leisure."

Li Shimin squatted beside him, sucked a mouthful of lotus root powder, and smashed his mouth with a delicious taste.

"The third sister is right. Our Majesty is so clear-headed. Everything you think is. This is how Da Sui made him almost defeated."

"Brother-in-law, what should I do? I really need to build a dragon boat for His Majesty?"

"Is it possible if you don't build it?" Yang Qian shook his neck angrily. Seeing the food crumbs stuck to the cheeks of the girl Wugui beside him, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped it off.

The girl Wugui blinked her watery bright eyes and looked at Yang Qian, as if she was a little embarrassed, and her eating speed was getting slower and slower.

Yang Qian didn't care. "It's okay, just eat more if you like it. This plate of sweet lotus root of glutinous rice is specially made for you."

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin on the side was unhappy.

"I said brother-in-law, can you not be so biased? I just ate two bowls of lotus root powder, and you just talk to me."

"You don't even look at how thin Wugui is. As for you..." Yang Qian turned his head and looked at Li Shimin's figure of 1.65 meters tall and weighing 1.56 meters, and he just laughed.

"...Sister, you see, brother-in-law bullied me again."

"Shut up if you don't eat." Li Xiuning didn't even raise her eyelids, just like a cat who was lazy on the branches in the summer.

Li Shimin could only put all his attention on the third bowl of lotus root powder in disappointment, with a ferocious face, as if he wanted to eat Yang Qian, his brother-in-law.

Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside him, was surprisingly gentlemanly. Although his weight was seriously exceeding the standard, he ate faster than anyone else on weekdays.

At this moment, in front of my own sister, I will maintain my gentle image as my brother.

"Zi Jing, since Your Majesty wants you to supervise, you will eventually create it, and the more exquisite it is, the better it is. Only in this way can you live up to your trust."

Yang Qian knew what Changsun Wuji meant, but he was still full of reluctance.

"The dragon boat costs a lot, with a load of up to two thousand materials. I don't know the wood it consumes, but I also need to carve beams and paint the road. I really want to satisfy His Majesty. I really don't know how much money it will cost to be enough."

Changsun Wuji touched the almost missing chin and smiled. "Wealth, the power of our Jiangdu County alone is naturally not enough. We cannot gather the twelve counties in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is naturally enough."

Yang Qian sat up and signaled the veteran driver who was full of bad water to continue.

"We are the merchants in Jiangnan, and have made a lot of money by relying on the Ningjing in Jiangnan in the past two days."

"But until now, our Great Sui Dynasty has not collected a penny of commercial tax. This is an unprecedented wonder."

"Since Your Majesty and the late emperor are so proud of merchants, should they also express their gratitude to the court and His Majesty?"

When Yang Qian heard Changsun Wuji's words, his eyes lit up. "This strategy is a bit interesting."

"Don't we from the Sui Dynasty collect taxes from merchants?" Li Shimin scraped the last bit of lotus root powder at the bottom of the bowl, and was completely confused.
