After the end of the war, Yang Tong began a sudden inspection, this inspection began from Xihai, ended in Jingzhao, through the nine counties of Douhe, Caohan, Jincheng, Huining, Tianshui, Hanyang, Hechi, Tianshui, and Fufeng, which lasted more than 40 days, and arrived in Jingzhao County on the ninth day of October.

During the time when he returned to Daxing, the whole city and even the imperial court were busy with cattle, sheep and horses, from top to bottom, all of them were beaming, and the soldiers of the Great Sui were only about 1.2 million, so on average, each soldier could get an additional five sheep in addition to military salaries and pensions, and the deficiencies were supplemented by the official ranch.

The cattle and horses were pulled south and distributed to the people of Jingzhou and Yangzhou; Those families who were placed in Qingzhou and Xuzhou were provided with cattle and horses by the Liaodong Horse Farm, which was undoubtedly a heavy gift for the people of the world.

Yang Tong, who returned to Daxing, decided to give himself a few days off, because in a few days, not only the court officials in Luoyang would come to prepare for the New Year's court party and other miscellaneous matters, but the main generals of all parties from all over the country would also come to discuss military affairs. At that time, he would devote himself to the final battle of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

For two days in a row, he didn't care about everything, accompanying his elders' wives and children in Miyagi. It's just that during the time he went out, there were three more children in the family.

Lu Qinghua's child was born as a boy at the earliest; Xiao Yuexian, who was the first to get pregnant, was the second born and a boy, while Li Xiuning's child was born the third and was still a boy.

Yang Tong was holding his third son in his arms, the little baby was pink-carved, with delicate eyebrows, not noisy or noisy, quiet as a girl.

The third child of the Yang family was born prematurely, and he almost died a few days after birth, if it weren't for Sun Simiao's return from Lintao to crack the Qiang people's arrow poison, this child would probably be gone.

"Husband, is this child's name Yang Chong?" Lu Qinghua has always been worried that her husband doesn't like this thin child, but after her husband returned, she loved this child with poor bones even more, and she was very relieved.

According to Liu Xuan, Yang Gongren, Kong Yingda and others who deduced the 'Zhengrong Chongjun, Daiyue Weiyan ......' for Yang Tong's vein, then her son is naturally called Yang Chong.

But after Yang Tong came back, he just played with the children every day? The name is not mentioned? This left the mother of three newborns baffled. Lu Qinghua couldn't help it, so he asked.

"Of course......"

Yang Tong kissed his son's little face? Suddenly stunned? He looked at the beautiful Lu Qinghua in puzzlement, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't there a child's name?" How? Still undecided? ”

"I'll just say he forgot, and you still don't believe it!" Wei Fengwu glanced at Yang Tong? Said angrily: "You are the father of the child? If you don't come back, who dares to know? The three little ones don't have names yet, so hurry up and settle down. ”

"......" Yang Tong finally figured it out, although the child's parents have already named the right number? But there's still a formal ceremony left? Hurriedly said: "Go and bring me the jade box." ”

"I'll get it!" Shui Tianji rushed away, and after a while, he took a jade box and handed it to Wei Fengwu.

Wei Fengwu opened the box, and there was a booklet and a few engraved jade pendants inside? She actually knows that the third child is called Yang Chong, but it is a matter of the child's life? She still solemnly let her husband choose, "Husband? The third character is the word 'Chong'. ”

"The third child in our family is called Yang Chong." Yang Tong put the baby in his arms on the bed and took out the jade pendant of the word "Chong"? Carefully tied to the swaddle straps? Later, he tied the word "Jun" for Xiao Yuexian's son, and Li Xiuning's son tied the word "Dai".

"Waited so long? My brother is finally famous! Yang Wan and Yang Lu, who were playing on the side, clapped their little hands and laughed.

"Alas, my precious daughter, come and let my father hug me......" Yang Tong instantly turned into a daughter slave, one in one hand, holding the two little girls in his arms, kissing them non-stop.

The queen and the princess saw that the three little swaddling clothes whose names had even been forgotten by their own Lao Tzu were instantly abandoned, all of them were angry and funny, but looking at the two petite and cute, like porcelain dolls, they soon smiled as well.

Starting from the eldest sister Yang Xifang, to Yang Hui, Yang Wan, and Yang Lu, they are all sensible!

Although Yang Tong, the father, spoils them very much, the eldest grandson Wujian and Lu Qinghua, who mainly focus on ideology and morality and court etiquette, brought the set of teaching materials of the family, and because there is a negative teaching material at home, they take care of these girls to death, so the next generation of princesses are not taken seriously by Yang Dong, who is rarely at home.

On the contrary, they are all obedient.

"Father! Tea is coming. Just when Yang Tong teased her baby daughter, the eldest daughter Yang Xifang came over with a teapot, in the days when her father came back, she would make tea for her father every day, although she also knew that her tea was either more or less, either bitter or light, but she was very happy to see her father like it every time.

"Our eldest princess is here." Yang Tong saw his daughter coming over with a teapot, and happily sat at the table with the two little princesses in his arms.

These children have grown up slowly, and whenever they are tired to the point of not being able to do it, Yang Tong will be full of vitality when he thinks of them.

Before he knew it, a smile appeared on his face.

"Father, today's tea, I specifically counted the number of tea leaves, you taste it, it must be with your taste." Yang Xifang poured a cup of tea and looked at his father with an expectant face.

Yang Tong put Yang Wan down carefully, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, and praised without hesitation: "The tea tastes right, the tea is fragrant, this is the gist of making tea, not bad, very good!" ”

"This guy ......" His wives and wives saw this guy like that, their hearts were sour, and their sisters worked hard to brew good tea with Zhongnan Mountain Spring, stamens, snowflakes, and rose morning dew, but they were defeated by their daughter with a cup of lake tea, which was sometimes bitter and sometimes light.

"Then I'll make a pot of tea in the afternoon." Yang Xifang was so happy that her face turned red.

Yang Tong smiled and said, "Okay." ”

"Father, I want to go to the East Market to buy something." Yang Xifang whispered.

"Go! Father will allow you to go. Yang Tong doesn't want his daughter to grow up in a closed environment, lest she become a stupid white sweet in the future.

After finishing speaking, he found that his daughter did not make a sound, her big black and white eyes were full of grievances, and her heart melted for a while, "Are you afraid?" It doesn't matter, my father sent thousands of Xuanjia troops and Shura to protect them brightly and darkly. ”

"It's not fear." Yang Xifang whispered: "Father, I want to ......"

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Tong understood his daughter's thoughts, and showed a bright smile: "You want your father to accompany you, right?" ”

Yang Xifang looked at his father with a blank eye, "My father has been busy and rarely accompanies us in the palace." ”

"......" Yang Tong was speechless, although he was busy with his children a lot of times, but as an emperor, especially an emperor in troubled times, how much time could he steal? He also thought about spending more time with the child when he wasn't busy, but when that day came, the child needed him to accompany him!

"I happen to be free these days, so I'll go out with you."

"I'm going to call Hui'er!" Yang Xianfang ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye.

"Father, I'm going too." The Zhengrong brothers, who were bored and writing, raised their heads and looked at their father expectantly.

Yang Tong's face sank: "Manly man, what street are you shopping?" Write. ”

"Whoa." The Zhengrong brothers were extremely aggrieved.

"Eccentric." Wei Fengwu couldn't stand it anymore.

"yes!"

The princesses agreed.

"The daughter is the father's little padded jacket, what's wrong with the eccentricity?" Yang Tong glanced at Yang Zheng and Yang Rong, who were overflowing with grievances, and his heart softened: "Son, let's go together?" ”

"Long live Father." The Zhengrong brothers are overjoyed.

The brothers actually like to get along with their father, and they especially like to listen to their father's lectures, and the explanations they quote are much more interesting than the gentlemen's empty explanations.

"Husband is really not busy? Don't let the children delay your business. Wei Fengwu asked.

"It's too busy." Yang Tong laughed, the pace of life is slow these days, and it's okay to take some time out to be lazy.

He has been in this era for so many years, from the beginning of the dazed and fearful, to adapt to the current fusion, the worldview has long been an ancient.

Of course, there are many things that are still preserved in the bones, such as family affection, perhaps because I have seen too many killings, so I cherish my relatives and family affection.

Since it was shopping, of course he couldn't wear a dragon robe, so Yang Tong changed into a cotton robe, pasted a beard, and put on a Zhanlu sword, accompanied his children, and wandered aimlessly in the bustling Daxing City.

When Yang Tong led the army from Daxing, it was still the middle of summer, and it was already a cool autumn when he came back, and the time seemed to be very short, but he could feel a "vitality" from the streets and alleys and the busy traffic.

It is actually correct to say that Daxing City has "vitality", because although Guanzhong is the ruling center of many dynasties, Daxing City is a new city through and through, and its time is only a few decades longer than Luoyang City, Zhuojun and Yecheng built by Yang Guang.

The earliest capital of the Great Sui Dynasty was originally Chang'an City of the old Han Dynasty, but this old capital city, which lasted for seven or eight hundred years since the Han Dynasty, was no longer suitable for the needs of the new Great Unification Dynasty. First of all, the Han Chang'an City lasted too long, the water supply and drainage were not smooth, and the sewage often gathered but did not leak, so that the domestic water was polluted and difficult to drink. Secondly, the city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was bordered by Weishui in the north, and because the riverbed of the Wei River swayed from north to south from time to time, the capital was in danger of being flooded. Therefore, out of the above considerations, Emperor Wen asked the chief 'designer' and 'engineer' Yu Wenkai to choose a site to build the city on the southern slope of Longshouyuan, because Emperor Wen was named Daxing Gong in his early years, so he named it "Daxing". After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he successively dug the North-South Grand Canal, connected Daxing City with waterways, and began to build part of the city wall of Waiguo City, and the overall pattern of the city began to take shape.

Although today's Daxing City has been reduced to the capital of the Great Sui, it is still the head of Yongliang, and its status is very important, because in addition to the advantages of cultural heritage, Daxing is also a key city that must pass through the Silk Road, and it is an important window for the Great Sui to understand the West.

In addition, Yang Tong attached great importance to the construction of Guanzhong, so after the end of the Battle of Guanzhong, Daxing City, which was convenient for the Silk Road, was slowly revived. The opening of the Silk Road attracted a large number of merchants from other countries, which not only drove the entire Yongliang economy, but also brought different customs and cultures.

Why does Yang Tong advocate a hundred schools of thought, because no matter the same culture, military, politics, and skills, only in the competition can be sublimated, although the status of Confucianism is not changeable overnight, but because the north has experienced hundreds of years of turmoil, the Han culture has been seriously impacted, and Confucianism has not developed to the point of self-containment and internal friction.

As an era from the collapse of civilization and indifference to human feelings, Yang Tong has a strong yearning for these traditional cultures in his bones, but if he allows Confucianism to develop alone, he knows that Confucianism is bound to decay, just because any field, if it loses its sense of crisis, it will perish, and only competition and crisis can make all walks of life develop in a positive direction.

At present, the academic circles of the Great Sui Dynasty are still relatively chaotic, but a new cultural atmosphere has been formed, which is a positive side.

After walking on the street for nearly an hour, Yang Tong took his children to Daxing Metropolis, which is the east market that Yang Xifang said, opposite to the west city of Liren City. Most of the goods sold in the East Market sell silk and satin, jewelry, jade, gold, silver and jade, and other luxury goods; Liren City, commonly known as the West Market, is dominated by daily necessities such as tea, rice, oil, salt, cattle, sheep, horses, and farm tools.

On the streets and in the crowd of people in the city, you can always see Qiang, Turkic, and Sogdian people wearing Central Plains costumes.

The atmosphere of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties and the Great Sui Dynasty was not as rigid as that of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the social atmosphere was relatively enlightened, which can be called an important process of ethnic integration.

As for the recurrence of the Six Towns Mutiny, Yang Tong was not worried, and felt that it could be completely avoided, because although the ethnic minority people were relatively strong, except for a very small number of rebels, what most people pursued was nothing more than living and working in peace and contentment, and worry-free food and clothing. As long as the imperial court does not excessively oppress the ethnic minority people who have obtained the nationality of the Great Sui, as long as they are given the same land, the same taxes, and the same treatment, then they will live in peace within the framework of the law.

In short, the word "equality".

First use the key of "equality" to open the door of vigilance of the people of all ethnic groups, and then use one or two generations to engage in Sinicization education, then they will integrate into the big family of the Great Sui.

In the wide carriage, Yang Tong, who was holding his youngest daughter Yang Lu in his arms, looked at the other children from time to time, with a doting smile on his face.

Yang Xianfang, Yang Hui, Yang Zheng, Yang Wan, and Yang Rong looked extremely funny, the five of them were in a row, all of them put their little faces against the window, excitedly looking at the lively scene outside, from time to time they exchanged heads and ears, bursts of laughter, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

"What do you want to buy?" Listening to the shouting outside, Yang Tong asked with a smile.

Swish!

Several children turned around in unison, and the eldest sister Yang Xifang and the second sister Yang Hui said in unison: "I want to buy a musical instrument." ”

What musical instruments are not in the palace? And it's all precious, but the kids obviously prefer the process of buying, buying, buying, and not being famous, they don't understand it, and it's not important.

"Really?"

Yang Tong said meaningfully: "I also plan to buy you beautiful jewelry, beautiful clothes, rare dolls or something, since you ......"

Yang Xifang and Yang Hui's eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "Buy jewelry, buy beautiful clothes, buy rare dolls." ”

Girls naturally like a dazzling array of jewelry and beautiful clothes, Yang Xifang and Yang Hui are no exception, and even Yang Lu in Yang Wan and Yang Tong's arms are also clamoring for it.

After the eldest sister Yang Xianfang finished speaking, she smiled a little embarrassedly.

Yang Tong couldn't bear his daughter's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that your mother will confiscate it?" ”

When Yang Xianfang heard this, he was like a deflated ball.

She actually has a lot of treasures, but her mother Lu Qinghua is very strict, every time her father gives her a gift, she only plays for a while, and then her mother takes it away, saying that it is a safekeeping, and then it is gone.

"Fang'er, I'll teach you a way." Yang Tong said with a wicked smile.

"What's the method?" Yang Xifang came over happily.

"Put it in a box, bury it under a tree in the garden, and dig it out when you want to see it." Although Yang Tong knew that even if the box was hidden underground, it would disappear for no reason, but he still came up with this bad idea for his daughter.

Yang Xifang was overjoyed, nodded violently and said, "I won't say anyone." ”

Yang Tong smiled, and said in his heart Poor daughter, don't you know that there are a few unreliable little spies?

As he spoke, the carriage stopped at the jewelry store.

Yang Tong got out of the carriage and saw that there were light and dark patrols all around, so he hugged his children down one by one, looked at the shops on both sides, and asked with a smile: "Which one to go to?" ”

"Let's go here." The eldest sister, Yang Xianfang, pointed to a bells and whistles and exotic shop and said

"Okay!"

Yang Tong looked at the door, and wrote the four Chinese characters of "Youfeng Laiyi", but if you look closely, it seems to be from a woman's hand.

When they walked into the store, they found that the store was very large, but the decoration was different from the bells and whistles outside, low-key and introverted, full of strong elegant atmosphere, by more than a dozen pretty girls with outstanding temperament were responsible for the reception, the store was placed more than 40 counters, the counter was placed with some treasures, because there was no glass, so the dazzling exhibits were tied with red rope on the brocade in the cabinet, if necessary, the girl in the store would untie the red rope and put the exhibits on the counter for visitors to taste.

Overall, the merchandise area has a very modern atmosphere. However, Yang Tong did not suspect that another soul was coming, just because this style started from the luxury commodity area of the Dasui Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and it has long been imitated by thousands of households, and it is not surprising to see it in a metropolis like Daxing.

Maybe it's because their father and son, father and daughter came early, or maybe it's because of the common characteristics of luxury stores that sell one piece to eat for a year, and there are no customers in the store.

Yang Tong's eyes swept around, and suddenly saw a familiar and beautiful figure, this woman heard the movement and turned to look, who is it not Jiang Fengyi?

I haven't seen her for a few months, and Jiang Fengyi, who is already sexy, hot, and beautiful, is more mature, and she has the charm and charm of a mature woman.

The dazzling flaming red lips seemed to be like fiery enthusiasm.

Jiang Fengyi was originally full of suspicious water-cut eyes, but when she saw the little guys beside Yang Tong, her plump red lips were slightly raised, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "I just said how familiar it is, it turns out that it is really you, and I almost can't recognize it." ”

"What a coincidence." Yang Tong didn't expect that he would meet the chief manager of Ouchi here.

The little ones who were looking at the ornaments heard their father talking to someone, so they looked over, and they all recognized it at once, and they all greeted each other.

"Aunt Jiang!"

"Aunt Jiang!"

“……”

"What are you doing here?" Looking at these lovely children, Jiang Fengyi showed a beautiful smile.

"We ......"

Yang Xifang grinned and covered her mouth.

She almost revealed her little secret to Aunt Jiang.

"I see, buy jewelry, right?" Jiang Fengyi is a very shrewd person, how could she not know Yang Xifang's careful thoughts.

"Aunt Jiang......" Yang Xianfang stretched out her voice and begged pitifully: "Don't tell the queen mother, okay?" ”

"That's right, Aunt Jiang." Yang Hui followed, and the two girls grabbed Jiang Fengyi's hand with tears in their eyes.

"Okay." Jiang Fengyi smiled slightly, and then nodded: "I won't say it, but whether you can keep it depends on your own ability." ”

"Aunt Jiang is the best!"

Yang Xianfang, Yang Hui, Yang Wan, and Yang Lu smiled brightly.

Jiang Fengyi said magnificently: "Take whatever you like, you can do as much as you want." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Jiang." Yang Xifang, Yang Hui, and Yang Wan dispersed in a hurry.

Yang Tong heard something different from Jiang Fengyi's words, he handed Yang Lu in his arms to Yang Qinfang, who was following closely, motioned Jiang Fengyi to the side to talk, sat in a corner, and asked, "This store is yours?" ”

"Yours." Jiang Fengyi said angrily

"Mine?" Yang Tong was dumbfounded.

Jiang Fengyi ordered someone to serve tea, and then said: "This shop was opened by me and your daughters-in-law, and everyone contributed a share of the money, and you have so many daughters-in-law, and naturally they account for more than me alone, so it is okay to say that it is yours." ”

Although she was smiling on her face, there was a trace of resentment in her eyes when she looked at Yang Tong.

"I really don't know." Jiang Fengyi's eyes made Yang Tong a little unbearable.

In fact, there are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, and he knows it.

It can't be helped, good men are always so attractive.

If this excellent man is still an emperor who is good to his wife, it must be more attractive.

I don't dare to say that everyone loves it, but at least the attraction to the opposite sex is definitely super.

Unfortunately, Yang Tong is such an excellent person......

What Yang Tong can be sure of is that whether it is Yang Qinfang or Jiang Fengyi, he has him in his heart...

Yang Qinfang is okay, Jiang Fengyi, a woman, used to ask him to repay his debts, although there are a lot of jokes, but isn't it her true words?

From the perspective of this era, Jiang Fengyi is indeed an old woman, but in fact, she is in her most charming years, and the years have not left the slightest trace on her face, such a seductive fairy, it is actually very easy to marry someone.

But she can obviously have her own life, but she just wants to be a monk for a day and hit the clock in the palace.

Why?

Yang Tong said that he didn't know that there was a ghost.

It's just that with the passage of time, Jiang Fengyi no longer said the kind of meat words she used to talk about, and she changed from cool to worried.

Why?

Yang Tong could vaguely guess that she seemed to be a little self-pitying.

Neither of them said a word.

Yang Tong drank the tea calmly, glanced at Jiang Fengyi from time to time, and muttered in his heart: "I have to say, this woman looks more and more like to tempt people to commit crimes... The figure is good... Especially the chest ......"

Although she is in her thirties, Jiang Fengyi now seems to be better than before, both in terms of skin and figure.

This guy will look at the child for a while, and then look at Jiang Fengyi. This kind of royal sister, which is rare in the world, will live a long life if you look at it twice.

Jiang Fengyi didn't bother either.

See? Although she was optimistic, she wished this guy would have seen more.

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Fengyi showed a smile that charmed all beings: "I heard that Li Yuan, the fake emperor, has many concubines. ”

Fake emperors have a lot of concubines, you, the real emperor, can't be less than the fake one, right?

You can't even compare to the fake emperor, aren't you embarrassed by the face of the Great Sui?

"So he almost corrupted the pseudo-Tang." Yang Tong said seriously.

"But the first emperor only had a few ...... except for the empress dowager" Jiang Fengyi's implication: whether the country is strong or not has nothing to do with the emperor's wife.

"How dare you say it."

"Isn't it?"

"Daddy, we've picked it out." At this time, the voice of her daughter Yang Xifang came, which resolved Yang Tong's embarrassment in a timely manner.

"I won't tell you." Yang Tong said with a smile.

"There is a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, hypocrisy." Jiang Fengyi glanced at Yang Tong fiercely with a pair of beautiful eyes, and after speaking, she stood up and walked towards the children in a swaying manner.

"......" Yang Tong didn't dare to look at it more, this royal sister's figure was too tempting, and he was afraid to raise his head to salute.

The children didn't have a big Natna, they only took one each.

Well, that's not true.

Yang Zheng picked an amethyst paperweight, Yang Rong is a crystal tiger, there is nothing wrong with this.

But Yang Xifang did take a lot, she picked a string of amethyst bracelets for herself, and took the same amethyst for the sisters present, and finally picked a string for each of the three younger brothers who couldn't come.

These crystal products are good-looking, but they are not valuable. The important thing is that this store accounts for the majority of its own family, and Yang Tong has nothing to say.

It's just that when I went out and left, there was another Jiang Fengyi in the shopping team. It's just that this woman is too tempting, and Yang Tong gave her and the children a carriage to sit in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In fact, he knew that this woman also had a carriage here, but if she didn't sit on it, what could she do?

It was nearly noon, and a group of people walked to the liquor store in high spirits.

In fact, it is one thing for Yang Tong to accompany his children shopping, on the other hand, he also wants to understand the circulation of gold and silver tickets.

Since the promotion of gold and silver bills to the kings and envoys of various countries at court meetings, merchants from various countries have successively exchanged real money and silver for gold and silver bills of different denominations, and then carried paper money to various places to buy the necessary items.

According to Ling Jing, because of the convenience and safety of paper money, the merchants of the Great Sui Dynasty also slowly replaced gold, silver and copper coins with paper money when they carried out large transactions, which shows that the credit system of paper money was initially established at home and abroad and among the middle and senior classes in China. But for ordinary people, money and banknotes are new things, and they are still in the stage of half-understanding and half-believing.

Daxing City is second only to Luoyang metropolis, the people living here, the ability to accept new things, is generally higher than the people of other counties, if the banknote has been circulated in Daxing liquor store, then the money system is a big step forward.
