The first year of the emperor's reign, 581 A.D.

Yang Jian, who was nearly nine-year-old when Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen expounded the throne, was forty years old, and the latter named the country Sui, changed the Yuan Dynasty to open the emperor, granted amnesty to the world, and opened the hegemony of the world.

This is a seriously underestimated founding emperor, he from an official second, generation step by step to become the world co-master, opened the imperial examination prototype, created the influence of the world for thousands of years of three provinces and six ministry system, during the promulgation of the "Kaihuang Law", is also significant, and then the Tang Dynasty's "Tang Law" is also inherited from this.

More importantly, he has reigned for more than 20 years and directly doubled the population of the country! Good guys, this is ancient times, and population is the most important factor.

It can be said that Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule is largely thanks to the foundation laid by Yang Jian, even if many of them were defeated by Yang Guang, but the foundation laid by Yang Jian is too thick.

From the Wuhu Chaohua to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, more than 200 years of turmoil, there have been too many careerists, look at those short-lived dynasties, today I usurp the throne, tomorrow you destroy the country, it is difficult to have a long time.

And Yang Jian unified the whole country and made the country stable, and finally stabilized the situation of continuing the war, and the overall situation tended to be more stable, otherwise Li Shimin's method of killing his brother and forcing his father, God knows how many careerists would jump out to make trouble, and this matter was changed to any dynasty of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which properly means that this is about to end.

In addition, Yang Jian also accumulated a population, saved food, and ...... Forget it, don't mention it, it's only the first year of the emperor's reign, everything has just begun, and there is even a Southern Dynasty Chen in the south, well, there is also a small territory, and the West Liang is sandwiched between the two countries.

The capital of the Western Liang Kingdom, Gangneung.

Nowadays, the emperor of Xiliang, Xiao Yue, lives a frugal life, his majesty is well-organized, the king is elegant, and his talent is enough, which makes Xiliang, who has only been in the past 20 years, much better than other places.

But in fact, it is still relatively miserable, the land of China has been in turmoil for too long, and there is rarely a time of stability, the cities are dilapidated, the houses are dilapidated, and the economy is depressed.

At the beginning of the founding of the Western Liang, the Western Wei Dynasty broke through the Southern Liang Dynasty, and then established a puppet vassal state, and then the Western Wei Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so Xiao Yue begged for a life under the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was very generous, and he was rewarded with a few pieces of territory.

As a result, now the Northern Zhou Dynasty is gone, Yang Jian replaced the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, at the beginning, there were people who persuaded Xiao Yue to raise troops to attack together, this one was not happy, the result was that those people either fled to the Chen State in the south, or were defeated one after another, and Xiao Yue is still alive and well, and Yang Jian is also very courteous to him, which is not difficult to see from the fact that Yang Guang later married Xiao Yue's daughter.

But in general, it still hasn't gotten out of the status of a vassal country, a small country, and it is still beaten by the Southern Dynasty, which is pitiful.

This messy situation made Zhou Shaoyu very entangled, there is no currency, silver or something, it has not yet become hard currency, and in the whole Xiliang, there are few rich people, and there is not necessarily money to buy a treasure when it comes out, and those who have money to buy it are all powerful and powerful, why not just grab it, Zhou Shaoyu has no origin.

It was easy to find a cloth shop, sold a few white silk horses at a low price, and was slaughtered, and there was nowhere to reason, but the world was chaotic and had the benefits of the world's chaos, and they were greedy for money, so they easily inquired about the location of Xiao Yan, the king of Anping, Xiliang, and then under the identification of the servants of the palace who bought it, he directly knew which one was Zhang Ke, and followed him all the way to confirm that Zhang Ke was located in a simple residence by the river.

Zhou Shaoyu is drunk, the sorrow of the small country is simple, Zhang Ke is the second generation of officials, his mother is still the princess of Nanliang, the emperor of Xiliang Xiao Yue is his brother-in-law, and the king of Xiliang Shixing is his brother-in-law, and he himself is also working under the hands of King Anping, but the result is so miserable, a few simple wooden houses, two simple courtyards before and after, where can you see that his identity is so scary.

If this is a change of dynasty, just this identity, scare the people to death every minute, such as the Ming Dynasty Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youji, is the only emperor in Chinese history who has only one wife, and his queen Zhang, has a pair of brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, all of whom have been marquis, arrogant and domineering for many years.

It's no wonder that Yang Guang's wife, Queen Xiao, has been working on housework when she was young, and it is strange that she was adopted by a guy with such conditions, and her life is comfortable.

Poor Xiao Meiniang, obviously the emperor's daughter, but because of the bad birth time, she was considered unlucky, so she first threw it to Xiao Qi, the king of Dongping, and within a year, both husband and wife passed away.

Then there was no way, no one was willing to adopt, Zhang Ke, who was an uncle, had no choice, so he had to take it over and raise it.

Yes, that's right, what Zhou Shaoyu drew this time is the Empress Xiao who was destined to bring peach blossoms in the wild history and married six emperors successively, of course, the wild history is not very credible, especially the last emperor is actually Li Shimin, at that time, Xiao Meiniang was in her sixties and was good, which can no longer be described as a half-old.

In any case, Xiao Meiniang's life is divided into three stages, the first one is lonely and living in another home. The second section is towards the peak of life, the mother is the world, and the third section is miserable and displaced. All in all, it's still sad.

Although he knows the place, Zhou Shaoyu didn't plan to rush over to contact, he was under the fence for a long time, and he was not welcomed, Xiao Meiniang's psychology must be very sensitive, and for example, she has low self-esteem, depression, melancholy, and few words, well, the above is all conjecture, but it may not be.

I wanted to appear as a rich boy, but I was really shy in my pocket, so I simply went to an extreme.

I went back to the cloth shop and bought some old cloth to make clothes, and then found someone to get two patches, cleaned and put them on, and put a bookbasket on my back, a proper image of a poor scholar from a poor family, it happened that the house opposite Zhang Ke's house was vacant, very dilapidated, Zhou Shaoyu found someone to rent it, cleaned it up simply, and lived here.

On the second day, Zhou Shaoyu didn't run blindly, and sat directly at a table at the door, wrote letters, painted portraits, and put half a piece of hard cold steamed buns on the side.

"If it wasn't winter, it would be even more perfect." Zhou Shaoyu sat behind the table, sniffed, wrapped the shabby robe on his body, and fought hard to attract the attention of the girl.

"Write letters, portraits ......" Zhou Shaoyu greeted the last sentence intermittently, and his voice was vibrato, which made people feel that this matter was cold, but there was no business......

It's right if you don't have a business, that's what you want!

I vaguely saw a figure moving in the opposite room, and I didn't know which one it was, and after a while, a plainly dressed and delicate-looking girl walked out with a wooden basin, and glanced at Zhou Shaoyu curiously.

Zhou Shaoyu pretended to take a book and read it again, and warmed his hands with a sip of hot air from time to time.

Although they are separated by a street, how wide can this kind of remote street be, and they can naturally look at each other, but it is not easy to see much, after all, men and women are different, and they don't know each other.

Xiao Meiniang was washing her clothes in the river next to her, her little hands were red from the cold, and the poor baby still had chilblains on her hands, and Zhou Shaoyu felt sorry for her.

Thank you for the blessings of the book friends... Ay... One year old, older and leftover men, no talent and no wealth, evil deeds.
