After many days’ visit to Japan along the canal, Pei Shiqing, the Japanese ambassador, gradually learned a lot about Xiao Xian’s failure to get the news of the central curtain in the past two years when he was in a foreign county. This is also a kind of investment sincerity of Wen Xi Pei’s valve to make a good relationship with Xiao. Of course, this is sincerity. After all, today, Xiao’s power is not in Xiao Xian even if it is not the largest blue chip stock in Xiao Huanghou, but Xiao Xian’s assistant minister uncle Xiao Yu Xiao Xian, who has been responsible for history, ranks second at most through his own efforts.
Through Pei Shiqing’s Xiao Xian, I learned that recently helping Pei Yun jump out of this fire pit of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is mainly the result of his distant cousin Pei Ju’s contribution-this Pei Ju is now a 60-year-old veteran of the DPRK and a famous diplomatic strategist in the Sui Dynasty, and his life achievements are far from enough. Pei Yun and his career in the early years of the great cause were almost a flash in the pan. At the beginning, Yang Guang used to check and balance Yang Sucai’s shield. After Yang Su died, he lost this Pei Ju, but he was able to stay heavy after Yang Su’s death.
But Pei Ju is not as easy to get into the position of near-courtiers as Pei Yun, but the right path can definitely be considerable. Now the assistant minister in Huangmen is the second in command in the province.
Off-topic words Pei Yun was pulled by his cousin Pei Ju. After Yang Guang took care of Xiao Guojun and fished it out from the fire pit of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, naturally someone had to fill it. Fan Gai was newly transferred to be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Later, when Sun Chi was old, Fan Gai went further and made the Ministry of Civil Affairs famous for his strictness and incorruptibility. He also squeezed his roots to help Yang Guang collect Xiao Guojun’s money and food, but he didn’t embezzle from it. Later, when Yang Guangxin and Yang Guang went to Koguryo, he pulled Fan Gai out with him and left him behind. Shang Weixuan, the punishments department, also belonged to Fan Gaihe, a meritorious person who rigorously ruled corruption in the process of building Xiao Guojun. Later, Wei Xuan was left behind by Yang Guangliu in Daxing. These two people who built Xiao Guojun and worked hard by doing dirty work were divided into two cities until the end of Sui Dynasty, which was considered to have caused an aftereffect. Of course, these are all stories.
It was also the early years of Pei Ju’s official career in Sui Dynasty. At that time, he was only thirty years old. Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor of Sui Dynasty in Pei Ju, had a good diplomatic mediation talent in the early years.
After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Pei Ju was ordered to go deep into the differentiation and disintegration of Lingnan, wooing one faction to suppress one faction’s wrist, and bringing all the sites of more than 20 states in Lingnan, which were semi-independent, into the control of the court spokesperson, such as Mrs. Xian, Feng Ang and other heroes were all court agents after being mediated by Pei Ju, but they were considered unmanageable by Pei Ju. Those leaders of the noble families were all like thieves. Many of them didn’t even leave their names in the long river of history. Wang Zhongxuan, a chieftain, left a name in history-a man who was pushed to the opposite by Pei Ju to annihilate the loser’s name, and the slang was originally equivalent to the most powerful tribe in Guangxi province in the future. Pei Ju Cao was wiped out by the power of the joint Guangdong Xian lady to pacify a province.
In the last years of the Emperor, after Lingnan, Pei Ju was transferred to the north by Emperor Wen of Sui to provoke the Turkic ministries to kill each other. Qimin Khan Dulan Khan and Datou Khan fought each other, and Pei Ju provoked the credit.
What interested Xiao Xi was that after Pei Shiqing told about Princess Yicheng and pro-* Qimin Khan, the imperial court also increased salt, tea, wine and trade according to Xiao Xian’s suggestion, which gradually drained the Turkish economy and prepared Pei Ju. This matter was also a big fuss, and Princess Yicheng repeatedly planned to combine the trade limit chips at hand to provoke the Turkish ministries to fight. Although Princess Yicheng’s identity was not good, she supported the Qimin Khan enemy, but it could also cause the enemy to covet by leaking the whereabouts of the Sui Dynasty caravan and various means of trade routes.
In the three years of the great cause, Princess Yicheng took revenge on Princess Anyi, the Turkish army attacked by Qimin Khan and killed the enemy Datou Khan in a decisive battle. In this matter, according to Pei Shiqing, there was much credit for Pei Ju’s luck to make Qimin and Datou play such a big battle.
Three years after the great cause, according to the historical original trend, Tiele and Xueyantuo ministries should be gradually consumed and slaughtered by the people with the death of Datou. For many years, the Turks should be gradually unified and strong at this time. However, due to the butterfly effect brought by Xiao Xian, tea resources have some effects on prolonging the life span of grassland people and curing diseases. Princess Yicheng has spared no effort for many years, and gradually gained popularity. Pei Ju and Princess Yicheng manipulated the tea market trade. This bait is more precious than the same period in history
Pei Ju, a genius of diplomatic provocation, fuck Tiele, and other ministries of Xue Yantuo heard something that they shouldn’t have heard. For example, once they surrendered to Qimin Khan and Qimin Khan, the secondary distribution power of trade goods in Sui would be tilted towards their own people, and Tiele people could neither plunder nor get the goods of Sui through the formal channels of secondary distribution. If they go here, Qimin Khan will naturally decline without a single soldier.
So there was a turning point in history. Tiele ministries finally plundered the caravan of Sui Dynasty to maintain their independence, ensuring that the people should not be rationed to Tiele ministries as they did after they surrendered to the people. * * Khan also continued to kill by the support of history. This time and again, a few years after the First World War, the Turkic grassland lost 200,000 more lean people, which is to say, killing people without seeing blood. That is, it is now five years after the great cause, Pei Ju was transferred from Turkic to Tuguhun by Yang Guang, and Qimin Khan gradually unified the grassland, but this step is later than history.
In the Tuyuhun War, Pei Ju and Yang Guang took on two important diplomatic tasks. The first was that before Sui Jun officially sent troops, Pei Ju succeeded in sending in tea supplies and other trade chips, which provoked Tiele tribe to send troops to attack a Tuyuhun border territory from the north. The second thing was to send an envoy to the western regions to let Gao Changguo head and add 26 small western countries to form a group of western countries. Yang Guang went to Tuyuhun and came to appear before Yang Guang and Yang Guang to crusade against Tuyuhun key. At that time, he got the diplomatic "Tuyuhun encirclement network" situation.
All this success made Pei Ju’s diplomatic courtship in the Sui Dynasty have absolute prestige and emperor’s absolute belief. Now the imperial court is planning a crusade against Koguryo. The original Yang Guang also wanted Pei Ju to send Koguryo to explore the bottom to see if he could find some trouble for Koguryo or stab him in the back. Koguryo learned from the Central Plains and learned how much Pei Ju’s diplomatic conspiracy suffered, no matter what Pei Ju wanted to do, so Yang Guang had to rely solely on force.
Rao’s thought is that Pei Ju still asked his nephew Pei Shiqing to pay a return visit to Japan. The ambassador wanted to take the opportunity to find out whether there is a possibility of harmony between Japan and Silla, the southern neighbors of Koguryo, and whether Silla is free to stab Koguryo in the back.
……
When the boat arrives in Suzhou, Pei Shiqing needs to continue to take a Japanese boat from the state port to cross the sea. Naturally, it is necessary to come here. Xiao Xian arrived in Xiao Xian respectively, and combined with this experience, Pei Shiqing was told to arrive again.
"I can’t believe that there are so many twists and turns in the mediation between the DPRK and China. It’s really rare in ancient times. Xiao Mou didn’t expect that Pei’s adult was still on such a mission. It would be a great help, but as far as Xiao Mou knows, this Japanese country was an ally, Koguryo, because the two countries were not bordered by each other, just between Silla and Fuyu, and pushed the ancient queen to jointly attack Silla.
It’s not easy for the Japanese, what I’m afraid of, to go this time, but if you can convince the Japanese not to attack Silla for the time being, it’s already a great achievement. I have to make a fuss about Silla again, and I don’t want Silla to send troops. I want Silla to temporarily lend me a place to station troops and my army to cross the sea. I have to attack Goguryeo’s tactics across the sea, so the chances of winning are less than half. Of course, contacting Silla is extremely confidential, and Goguryeo has to take precautions first to attack Silla against the court. It will take more than a year to prepare for the sentence. Adult Pei’s visit to Japan requires that Japan should be in harmony with Silla for the time being. Don’t say anything more. Then someone else will deal with it. "
Pei Shiqing returned the compliment by saying, "As Xiao Xu said, Pei Mou kept in mind that his uncle was just like this before he left Beijing, and the teaching officer would be careful not to miss the court events."
Xiao Xian nodded and added, "Don’t leave in a hurry after arriving in the state. Xiao will ask the imperial navy to send Zhou Fa. Zhou Lang will come to the whole captain to take a few boats with you to go to Japan, so it is convenient for our sailors to recognize the route to Japan and find out the sea conditions in the East China Sea. Zhou Lang will be Zhou Fa’s younger brother, a captain, and a general. Remember to find some Japanese sailors who are willing to naturalize when they return home from Silla coast and Hudao route. In the future, the imperial conquest of Koguryo will also go through."
Chapter 27 Trivia of the Year
I went back to Suzhou to live in Canglang Garden, listened to the latest progress of the imperial fleet construction, and disposed of some major events during the Beijing period. Then Canglang Garden, the princess mansion, was decorated with lanterns and colorful invitations.
Supposedly, there is still more than a month away from New Year. If it is to celebrate the Spring Festival, it is natural not to dress up so early. There are a few bureaucrats in Suzhou City who have received posts before they suddenly realize that this is actually Princess Nanyang who wants to take a concubine for herself, and the Lord has also set up his distant cousin to be a little boy for her husband.
Although it is well known that Princess Nanyang has a daughter after six years of marriage, it is not easy for Princess Xiao Xu to want to take a concubine because of the princess’s birth. Princess Nanyang is not so jealous of the virtuous name as soon as it is broadcast, and people have a higher guess about Xiao Xian’s degree of being a holy relative. Empress Xiao Xu will only be wronged by her only biological daughter to let her son-in-law take a concubine.
Good concubinage is not as grand as marrying a wife. It’s an auspicious day, and it doesn’t take too long to prepare for it. However, by the beginning of December, the whole thing of concubinage will be settled. On that day, Canglang Garden will be full of guests, and dozens of tables will be invited. There are places like Suzhou and Hangzhou Lake. Wu Junzhi, a family of other foreign officials, is as far away as a few from Lanling County and Jiangdu. Don’t go into details for a night of entertainment. (At some point, some writers outside our house have crossed the line and been imprisoned for three and a half years
……
Twenty-two-year-old in nominal age is just the junior year. There are still many women who have not been picked up at this age. Of course, with the change of the world, there are still many flowers and willows, but in Sui and Tang Dynasties, it would be wonderful. Zhang Chuchen has been doing wonderful things for so many years, and his heart is burdened with a trace of intolerance and unwillingness to be ungrateful to Yang Jieying, and he has survived himself to such youth.
When everything was released, generate’s infatuation with lingering was obviously too much for people. If it weren’t for Xiao Xian’s strong body, he almost couldn’t hold down his demanding degree. It was also his intention to compensate the beauty for her heavy soaking. Yang Jieying didn’t do any business there for almost half a month, and she didn’t ask him thoughtfully until the twelfth lunar month and the year was nearly Xiao Xian. Because there are many people who want him to personally break up.
Pei Shiqing has been asked to return to Japan’s fleet, and Xiao Xi, Qin Qiong’s escort road, needs to personally escort them. This season is not unified by the mainland, but the direct cross-sea route can’t go during the monsoon season of returning to Japan’s islands. However, Xiao Xian has prepared several times more grain and new secret kimchi for them, so that these envoys of China and Japan don’t be afraid to work hard. Take the long-distance route along the northern Shandong Peninsula, then to Silla Wengjin Peninsula and then to Japan, even if the route costs three or four times more, it will still be possible to explore some Koguryo offshore sea conditions anyway.
After seeing Pei Shiqing off, there were other things to do. This time, Wu Jun returned from Beijing because Xiao Xian was very active. Now he has pledged 200,000 Xiao Guo’s military uniforms and robes and boots. He also got other concessions and errands from Yang Guang.
The preferential treatment is that Yang Guang once again promised to reduce the cross-border corvee of Wujun in the coming year, so that Wujun can carry out the de facto rent adjustment method for one more year in real name, which is equivalent to treating this donation of Wujun as an extra "service adjustment". Without this preferential treatment, Wujun will build a ship for the imperial court, and without large-scale government projects, civilian workers may be transferred to serve in the north, and the loss will be very alarming.
The extra job is that Yang Guang sees that Xiao Xian is not greedy for money; In other words, although the business was well managed before, the court was not vague when it came to major events, and it was willing to destroy the family to ease the difficulties; Therefore, Qian Liang believed more in Xiao Xian. Xiao Xian used to do the actual work of Yangzhou Shuicao joining the army to build the canal. Cao Shang was also in charge of the Southeast Shipping Administration. Yang Guang conveniently put the burden of transporting grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the north on Xiao Xian’s shoulder in the next two years.
In the Sui Dynasty, however, there was no concept of "transshipment ambassador" or "governor of grain transportation". Everything related to grain transportation was a temporary appointment or temporary appointment.
Since the imperial court built Luoyang in the second year of Daye, and then built Xingluo Cangcheng near Luoyang East and Xingyang in the west of Bianzhou, the water transportation near the intersection of the Yellow River and Bianshui is very convenient. Yuwen Kai, a great craftsman, designed the Cangcheng with thousands of grain cellars, and the theoretical maximum amount of grain can reach 240,000 stone! This figure accounts for about one tenth of the total grain output of the whole Sui Dynasty!
Of course, Xingluocang has never been full, but there are still more than 10 million mangokus of grain for the peak period when the imperial court has an important event. It takes about one million mangokus a year to transport grain to Fangxingluocang in the north during the peak period in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, Huaibei will also transport some grain to the north, but there is no heavy burden on Jiangnan (Yang Guangshi and Huaibei are more manpower, but the corvee can be less because they are close to the construction site in the north). These together constitute the consumption of millions of central non-agricultural people by the family members of the imperial garrison and court officials and nobles every year.
Now, it falls to Xiao Xian to escort millions of stones of grain from Jiangnan to Xingluocang every year. It is not heavy to punish Goguryeo, that is, all grain can not be delayed
As we all know, the technology of ancient transport warehouses was relatively low. If the grain was transported by land, the loss would not be mentioned. It is normal for the land people to eat several times more than the grain was transported to the destination. For example, if Zhuge Liang’s Northern Expedition attacked from Shu, it was counted that if someone crossed the road and ate fourteen buckets, only one bucket could be transported to the northern end of the middle valley. Even after the Grand Canal, the loss of water transportation along the way included the loss of sailors, civilians, rats and birds, and drifting. If there were local officials with a little black heart, all kinds of losses could be increased to more than 40
That is to say, there are at least one or two million stone hands and feet to do when transporting millions of stone grain in a year. Of course, Xiao Xian is not a corrupt official and does not care about money, but when the weather is fierce, he can’t watch a large amount of grain transported to Xingluocang. In the next few years, it will become a necessity to protect Wagangjun’s assets and materials, and it is natural to leave some successful parties appropriately.

Ps, these two days, subject two has to be tested, and the number of words is slightly less.
Chapter 20 Thieves Bee Up
Although Xiao Xian needs the governor to transport grain for two years, it is certainly impossible for these things to be hands-on. After all the disposal measures are finally prepared, they will be handed over to the executive level and supervised by Wu Shihuo, and the navy commander Lang will escort Zhou Fa.
If you look at the area of a single grain-producing field with millions of stones, it is certainly possible to scrape off half of the people’s grain output by the Suzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou counties in Wujun. However, it is naturally impossible for the court to pay such a high tax. In fact, about 15% of the grain in Caojun comes from the richest Wujun county, and the remaining half comes from more than a dozen counties such as Lanling County, Danyang County, Huiji County, Xuancheng County, Jiujiang County and Yuzhang County, which are responsible for transporting the grain from the southernmost county to Huiji. Yuzhang area, that is, the westernmost part of Ningshao Plain and Poyang Lake Plain in later generations reaches Wuchang County, which is equivalent to the parts of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui, Jiangnan in Jiangsu, Huangzhou in the easternmost part of Hubei, Wuchang County in Wuhan and further west. Then it is not that Xiao Xian managed to get the grain there. Even if it is to be transferred to the north, it will take Hanshui Yingsanfu area.
Even if the grain transportation period is from the end of the year to the end of February next year, it can take about four trips to and from the grain ship, which also needs two million mangoku single transportation capacity. It is also fortunate that Wu Jun made a crusade against Koguryo for the imperial court. Most of the ships in the canal are suitable for the yellow sea, and the draft of the flat-bottomed sand ship is smaller, which can also be more seaworthy, so Xiao Xian has pulled out most of the 400-material-level sand ships to solve the urgent need.
Wu Shihuo identity This is also the first time to see that he can lead a fleet with a single transportation capacity of two million stones, which is equivalent to having a thousand four hundred sand boats. Although this fleet has an additional navy officer, Lang will escort Zhou Fa with a whole army, it is enough for Wu Shihuo to be proud. The fact is that without Zhou Fa’s 5,000 foot soldiers, Wu Shihuo would not dare to go. Now it is not very peaceful. When passing through the hardest-hit areas of Qilu, it is no joke for thieves to break through the blockade of the official army and hit the idea of Tongji Canal.
Don’t say that the dangerous fleet really encountered some dangers when it first went north. It was two or three days ago that when the fleet arrived in Jiyin County and Dongping County, it was attacked by two thieves with hundreds of people. Fortunately, Zhou Fajun’s rigorous crossbow was complete, and he was surrounded and beheaded. Hanging the flagpole of the fleet with hundreds of levels deterred many hooligans.
Later, Wu Shihuo heard that a large-scale peasant army broke out in Zhang Xutuo, Qi County, just one month ago. The first name was Wang Baozi, who knew the world. Lang Chaoting urgently repaired Yongji Canal and transported grain to the north. The poor harvest people in Shandong were unbearable to pay taxes and corvees, etc., and the rebellion was returned by gathering people from the head. The song was confusing. The main idea was not "Long-term invasion of the sky and half a round of knives shone in the sunlight mountain to eat deer mountain, and cattle and sheep suddenly smelled the official saber swinging forward, such as the injury caused by the beheading of Liaodong". Fortunately, Zhang Xutuo, the chief of Qi County, responded quickly and led troops into the suppression field, defeating Wang Bo twice, which made Wang Bo realize that he had not been able to fight head-on with the champion.
Less than half a month after Wang Bo started his army, a rebel army with a scale of tens of thousands of people broke out near Liyang Cangcheng on the other side of the Yellow River. Later, Zhang Jin, a giant coach in Hebei Province, said that Zhang Jin said that the reason for starting his army was naturally that there was a large group of hungry people who were forced by the corvee of Yongji Canal in the imperial court, and then they wanted to take advantage of the sudden attack after starting their army to plunder a sum of grain from Liyangcang in the imperial court-Liyangcang is a warehouse city not far from the intersection of Yongji Canal on the north bank of the Yellow River, and it is the largest granary for Hebei officials.
When Yang Guang was in great prosperity, he sent his confidant Duan Da to attack Zhang Jin, saying that Duan Da had never fought a war, but he didn’t go to rescue Liyang. It’s all right that the garrison in Cangcheng was well prepared and had a strong city to defend himself. As a result, Duan Da led troops to attack Zhang Jin, and when he arrived in Liyang from Dongdu, he met Zhang Jin, saying that he pretended to retreat to avoid the war, so he was afraid of the imperial reinforcements, so he easily lured Duan Da, a straw bag, and the garrison in Liyang Cang was defeated by Duan Da.
Fortunately, there is still more than a year before the imperial court officially cracked down on Goguryeo, which is not much. However, there are less than 350,000 people who have been rationed for a year. More than half of these foods were looted before Zhang Jin claimed to flee, which is enough for Zhang Jin to raise a team of 200,000 people for a year.
It took more than ten days for Li Yangcang to be sent by the imperial court for the second time to recover the lost grain of more than 500,000 stones. Yang Guang was also deeply moved by Duan Da’s defeat. It will still depend on the loyalty and reliability of the generals, so he once again overcompensated Duan Da ‘an to the end, and then changed to let Yang Xuangan, the old general, take charge of Li Yangcang’s garrison and supervise the whole grain transportation in the north of the Yellow River. Zhang Jin said that it was only in the twelfth month that the Hebei thief, Gao Shida Yang Guang, will be wiped out. It can be seen that he still can’t believe too much that Yang Xuangan
Now trying to plunder Wu Shihuo to escort the grain thieves, after inquiring about the thieves who were caught by luck, they can also ask that they were naturally scattered by Zhang Xutuo, and some Wang Bo and Meng Rang were in a hurry to fight for a canal to get a bite to eat, so they kicked the Zhou Fa iron plate.
Zhou Fa is still loyal to the imperial military commanders. Faced with such a situation, he can only sigh, but Wu Shihuo is bold and speculative. Compared with the master Xiao Xian’s land, it is like a paradise, and the people in Shandong and Hebei are not happy. An evil species has been planted in Wu Shihuo’s heart
