Chapter 278: Terrible Habits

The time has entered April, and the bright sky is cloudless, which is refreshing and comfortable to see, but it is not a good thing for the people. The sky is clear, and there has been no rain recently! The absence of rain will continue to be dry, affecting this year's harvest.

"Husband is awake?" When Yang Tong woke up, Princess Wei Fengwu had already woken up first, and she wanted to sit up with difficulty, but was carefully helped up by Yang Tong.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Yang Tong smiled, the pregnant woman's body was very out of shape, even if she didn't wear clothes, the high bulging belly lost its former beauty, but the maternal brilliance was more obvious.

"It's a little stuffy to stay in the room these days." Xiao Wu said softly, now this big girl is a little less delicate and innocent in the past, and the whole person reveals a mature charm.

Looking at Xiao Wu's happy but helpless, worried, and depressed look, Yang Tong couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Wu is really amazing, she was pregnant with two children at once, and everyone was nervous." I have nothing to do left and right, and today I will accompany my big and small babies to relax, and I am bored in the room all day long, which is not good for my body and children. Mr. Sun is the first miracle doctor of our time, and he also said that you should walk more to facilitate the birth of your child. ”

After Sun Simiao arrived in Yecheng, Yang Tong opened a medical school in Tsinghua Academy, and a group of imperial doctors led by him recruited more than 300 students, and also opened a special women's medical class, accounting for more than half of the number, all of whom were talented children of poor families.

And after Sun Simiao's diagnosis, Xiao Wu was pregnant with twins, and he said that Yang Tong didn't understand, about Xiao Wu's belly had two life forms, which made Yang Tong happy, but at the same time, it also made Yang Tong very worried, a half-old girl was pregnant with two children in her first child, with the current medical conditions, Xiao Wu, as a mother, will undoubtedly take a huge risk, but seeing everyone's happy appearance, she can only bear this worry by herself, so as not to affect Xiao Wu's mood.

It has been a few days since he came back from Goguryeo, but Yang Tong's time at home is getting less and less, although the Wushen Palace is a place of office and residence, but the difference between the front hall and the back palace is still very big. All day long, he was either dealing with government affairs, or discussing with the science and technology freaks of the Open Heaven Courtyard how to improve the armor and warships, or talking to Liu Xuan and Yang Yu about education, or discussing the world's major events and future development directions with Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others. As the territory grew larger, Yang Tong gradually neglected his family.

"Doesn't the husband have to be busy with government affairs?" Xiao Wu's soft gaze was a little moved, but she said, "Don't delay business because of me." ”

"There's a lot going on with these things." Yang Tong laughed, as the leader of a force, even if he is busy, he can always find time to rest, if he takes care of everything, he can exhaust himself to death if he is tired. For this era, he has adapted step by step from being unfamiliar at the beginning, thanks to the elite team under his command, it is enough to grasp the general direction. Although it cannot be said to dominate the world now, it is also the first prince of Yuan Shao's style, and if this state of affairs continues, as long as he does not make mistakes in the general direction, it seems that it is not a problem to dominate the world. And the individual's heart, ability, and concept have changed a lot compared with when they first arrived in this world.

Specifically, Yang Tong can't say where it has changed, people's growth is transformed along the way, when you go far away and look back, you will find how naΓ―ve you used to be.

In his last life, he was a poor boy who worked hard to survive, in order to buy a house in the provincial capital and create a starting point higher than himself for his children, he was brave and enterprising for more than ten years, but looking back, he found that he actually ignored the most precious things, such as family affection.

It is also for this reason that Yang Tong attaches great importance to family affection, although from the soul, whether it is Concubine Liu or Xiao Wu, it is God who forced it into his mother and wife, but since Luoyang all the way, Xiao Wu has never left him, has a deep affection, and has never complained, she does not let Yang Tong worry, even if she almost had a miscarriage, she has to hide it from Yang Tong, carrying that kind of panic in loneliness, her friendship of selfless dedication is the treasure that Yang Dong values the most. Including the little imperial aunt who shouts all day long to learn martial arts and go to the battlefield, she is also really loved and pampered.

"I'll take you out of the palace today."

"Really?" Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, revealing her yearning for the outside world.

"Hmm!" Yang Tong smiled and nodded, no matter how big and beautiful the Martial God Palace is, there will be a day when it will be finished, for the people, it is full of mystery, but for the people who live here, it is a cage. One palace wall, two worlds.

People in the palace want to go out, and people outside the palace want to come in.

"Just the two of us?" As a princess and a future queen, Xiao Wu hopes that her husband will have children all over the place, but as a wife, she will also be jealous, and she also hopes that her husband will be alone.

"Yes, just the two of us!" Yang Tong hugged this delicate and lovely wife distressedly.

……

Yang Tong was wearing a Confucian robe, wearing a Zhanlu sword, and accompanied Xiao Wu to wander aimlessly on the bustling streets of Yecheng, the two of them were the head of the maids, Yin Mingyue, and three sword attendants, there were a total of one hundred such sword attendants, their instructor was Li Jing's wife, the Red Whisk Girl, they learned the martial arts of the rivers and lakes from the Red Whisk Girl, assassination, assassination, counter-assassination and other assassin skills, and took on the last line of defense in the palace.

Behind him was a carriage, Xiao Wu could rest when he was tired, and there were countless guards vigilantly following him in the dark.

Yang Tong didn't want to work so hard, but when his identity reached this point, he must have a strong defense force to keep up when he traveled, which was also a helpless thing, it didn't matter if he was alone, it would be different with Xiao Wu, who was pregnant with two children.

For a few months, Yecheng was a day by day, with a lot of traffic on the streets, and from time to time the crowd saw Qiang, Xia, and Turkic (Rouran) people wearing Hanfu swaggering through the market, but the Han people were all strange to the 'foreigners'.

Yang Tong smiled when he saw it, these 'foreigners' are actually no longer foreigners, except for the Xi people, Rouran people, and Qiang people who can obtain the nationality of the Great Sui in the first place. Others, such as the Turks, Khitans, and Xi people, were either slaves or prisoners of war before this, and after many years of reform, the outstanding ones have obtained official status and officially become a member of the Great Sui. It's not a normal Da Sui people, they can't wear Hanfu.

The social atmosphere of the Sui Dynasty is not the same as in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, coupled with Yang Tong's intention to integrate, it has achieved some results over the years, at least when he sees 'foreigners' with different appearances on the road, the people will no longer look at them with a look of monsters, and even Yang Tong saw that in the shops, there are Han and Turkic people who get together and talk about business.

Tables and chairs created by the Ministry of Industry are now all the rage, after all, this thing has no technical content, as long as a craftsman can make it, because they are comfortable to sit and lie down, so it spreads quickly.

Yang Tong didn't think about making money with these things, the current Great Sui is in a recovery period, and the people don't have much money, so the agricultural tax under Yang Tong is very low, and now the main tax is commercial tax.

In addition to Yecheng has a street store, each county has a market, according to the quality of the location to collect rent, not to mention the foot businessmen for the time being, some merchants are willing to rent shops, for these places, Yang Tong unified the use of the later generation of shopping mall management model, as long as things are not contraband, can be sold in the shops, businessmen can use two ways to pay business tax.

One is to pay a fixed amount in the name of the shop; The other is to pay taxes according to the number of transactions, generally between half and one percent, and many vendors are willing to settle according to the latter, after all, there are times when business is light.

At the beginning, Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling and Ling Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, were all opposed, after all, since ancient times, China is a big country dominated by agriculture, and the concept of Shinong industry and commerce is deeply rooted in the concept of all people, in the inherent concept, the status of businessmen is extremely low, and they have always been the tools of the family to collect wealth, and they can be taken and demanded.

Yang Tong's approach is tantamount to improving the status of businessmen in disguise, so that businessmen have the capital to break away from the family. However, the results of the three months after the trial trial have made everyone strongly supportive, because after the statistics, the commercial tax received is three times higher than the rigid store collection, which brings considerable profits and business can also give the people a lot of convenience.

Everyone is a smart person, it is easy to see the key clearly, but also pointed out the harm, the government must have absolute control over commerce, if it cannot be restrained, business will become a double-edged sword, in turn to balance Yang Dong, which is something that neither Yang Dong nor his officials and generals can tolerate. Therefore, the main body of strategic materials such as grain, oil and salt is always in the hands of supply and marketing cooperatives, and scattered stores cannot be sold abroad.

"Husband, what do you want?" Xiao Wu, who was full of interest, finally found that her husband was absent-minded and preoccupied, and felt a little funny.

"Nothing." Yang Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "Seeing the changes in Yecheng, I subconsciously thought of the next development plan, and I fell into the devil!" ”

Xiao Wu smiled: "My husband always cares about the country, which is very good!" ”

"It's good for the country, but it's not good for your sisters. I don't really want that. At this point, I really can't let it go, Yang Tong looked at Xiao Wu's high belly, and said with a smile: "I hope the little guy will grow up sooner and share his worries sooner." If it's a male doll, you must be strict. Can't let him become a second ancestor of a ruined family, character is the most important, talent is secondary, generally speaking, people with good character, no matter how bad they are, they will not be bad. I don't want him to be able to strengthen his grandfather and defeat his ancestors, as long as he can keep the family business. ”

Xiao Wu nodded cautiously and said, "Don't worry, this husband, I will not neglect the discipline of the child." ”

"It's us!" Yang Tong took Xiao Wu's little hand and said solemnly: "The ancients said well: you can't raise your godfather!" ”

"Poof"!

Xiao Wu burst out laughing, glanced at Yang Tong, and said angrily: "It's the "Three Character Classic" that says!" Where did the ancients come from? ”

"Forgot!" Yang Tong smiled.

Xiao Wu was even happier

In the following time, Yang Tong accompanied Xiao Wu to walk in the market, there were a dazzling array of goods in the large and small shops, with Yang Tong's critical eyes, he would not be surprised, but Xiao Wu, a pure ancient person, was dazzled.

"Husband, those monkeys were so cute just now, shall we also raise one?" After an afternoon of shopping, Xiao Wu regained her previous innocent vitality

"I'll have someone buy one later." Yang Tong is not allowed, animal trainer is a scarce number of industries, but compared to the monkey artist, he is more interested in the Su Mo Ya people who can train the letter eagle, in the era of backward information circulation, the letter eagle used by the Tan people to hunt has brought great convenience to Yang Tong, greatly improved the work efficiency of his command, and the most important thing is that when transmitting military information, he can often take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to fight him a time difference, there are many letter eagles in the palace, and there are three Haidongqing and a golden eagle.

As for rabbits, puppies, ducks and whatnot, there are many in the palace, which are bought and raised by the little imperial aunt when she is bored, and Yang Tong is also happy about this kind of thing, which is also the love of cultivating her when she is young. This extra monkey is nothing.

Yang Tong looked at the sun slanting to the west, and said with concern: "It's not early, go back and rest." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Wu smiled happily, her husband could accompany her for a day, she was very satisfied and happy, her husband is a person who does great things, even if she can't help her husband, she shouldn't let her husband worry about it.

Xiao Wu is very sensible.

When Yang Tong and Xiao Wu returned to Shenwu Palace, Du Ruhui ran over quickly from afar, with a look of urgency
