Chapter 448 That kid didn't do bad things to you, did you do bad things, who dares?!
Chapter 448
The land south of the Yangtze River seems to have become a rare quiet place for the entire Sui Dynasty, and Yang Qian, the young governor of Jiangdu, is also the deposed ambassador of the twelve counties of Jiangnan Province. The reputation and prestige.
At this moment, in the land of Jiangnan and Huainan, it can be said that there is no difference at all, whether it is ordinary people, merchants, or literati.
Those soldiers fighting on the battlefield, when Yang Jiangdu's name was mentioned, they all raised their thumbs and praised him endlessly.
Especially the various farming, living, and production tools invented by Yang Jiangdu's father that benefited the people and the country.
Whether it is the curved shaft plow or barrel waterwheel that is beneficial to agriculture, or the printing technology that is beneficial to scholars, or various tools suitable for merchants.
In short, whenever they see these new appliances, some people will always think of Yang Ning, the Duke of Zheng. Nowadays, life in the Jiangnan area is peaceful.
And it reminds people of Yang Qian, the young governor.
The names of father and son are known to everyone not only in Xingyang and Dongdu, but also in Jiangnan and Huainan.
The governors of various counties were also jealous and hateful, but they were helpless.
After all, the better Yang Qian did, the more he gained the trust of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, when the bandit troubles in various places had subsided, Yang Qian finally received the news.
His father-in-law finally came according to the order, and his biological father Yang Ning and mother Han will also come to Jiangnan.

"Father, mother!" Li Shimin rushed towards Tang Guogong and Dou who were walking slowly down the pier.
"The child has seen his mother, he has seen his father..."
Mrs. Dou looked at Li Erlang, who was getting stronger and taller, dressed up and bowed down before him, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Okay, get up quickly. You kid has grown so tall all of a sudden. You are as tall as your mother."
After hearing his mother's praise, Lu Ban Li immediately became proud and raised his head proudly.
"Of course, my child, I am already over fourteen years old now. I will be fifteen in the next year. How can I not grow taller?"
"Well, okay, okay, our second son is starting to look more and more like an adult, hahaha... My dear son-in-law, please forgive me this gift quickly."
"It's been really tiring for you to take care of the dogs these days."
"It's okay, okay, Li Er is a little naughty, but his sister often takes care of him, so I'm not tired."
Mr. Dou: "..."
Li Yuan: "..."
"Father, mother." Li Xiuning appeared here at the right time, and then saluted the two of them.
The embarrassing scene just now was finally relieved.
"Brother-in-law, I call you brother-in-law in vain, you don't even say a good word for me."
"Why didn't I say anything? I only said you were a little naughty. Isn't this hiding something for you and saying nice things for you?"
Yang Qian spread his hands and retorted unhappily. "How about I tell the truth?"
"...No, brother-in-law, dear brother-in-law, I was wrong."
Luban Li chuckled and shrank his neck. He seemed to have realized his mistake.

Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the third daughter who was dragged into the warm carriage by him.
Mrs. Dou was really sighing and full of emotions.
"My poor daughter, she is almost 20 years old. When I was your age, not only did you have your eldest brother, but you also had your eldest sister and second sister."
"...Madam, you are only nineteen, aren't you?" Li Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong and reminded him kindly.
"Husband, remember, when you gave birth to your second daughter, it should be... um, I will go out to see Erlang, and you two will chat."
Seeing her husband shut up in embarrassment, he got out of the carriage in disgrace.
Mrs. Dou then looked away angrily and continued to maintain her motherly demeanor of caring about the country and the people.
"Tell me...that kid didn't do anything bad to you, right?"
"Trouble? Who dares!" Li Xiuning looked at his own mother strangely and said unhappily.
"???" Mrs. Dou looked at the arrogant and unruly expression on the third girl's face, and clenched her fists in demonstration.
The whole person suddenly had a complicated mood, not knowing whether he should be happy or having a headache.
"What?" Li Xiuning asked curiously when she saw her mother's troubled expression.
Mrs. Dou felt that as the biological mother of the third daughter, she must guide her correctly.
"...Um, has Yang Qian had any intimate behavior with you?"
"Yes." Li Xiuning nodded firmly.
Mrs. Dou breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her voice with a smile. "Tell me, mother, why are you so intimate?"
"Playing chess, reading, competing, and hunting."
"???" Ms. Dou took a breath and looked at Li Xiuning blankly. "This, is this called intimacy?"
"It's just me and him." Li Xiuning's unruly and pretty face gradually overflowed with a touch of heart-wrenching sweetness.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiuning couldn't help but ask when she saw her mother looking as if she was exhausted, leaning weakly on the pillow and looking at the roof of the carriage with dull eyes.
"Mom, I want to be quiet. Don't talk..." Madam Dou waved her hand weakly.
It seems that the idea of letting my third daughter have a baby before she turns 20 is really a long way to go...
Outside the carriage, the familiar voice of Erlang Li Shimin could be heard faintly, bragging to his father about his various experiences of killing people and setting fires in the Jiangnan area.
Yang Qian occasionally lowered his eyes and hummed to show his agreement, but he didn't bother to expose this naughty kid.
The old father, Li Yuan, was very comforted. He asked questions from time to time and looked at his expressive son with a loving look on his face.
"...It's a pity that the whole of Jiangnan has been very peaceful in the past few months, and there are really few opportunities to make contributions. Otherwise, my child would not be a school inspection brigade commander now."
"You kid, wouldn't you like to have some peace and quiet?"
Li Yuan shook his head, raised his hand and patted Er Quan, well... Quan Zi Erlang's shoulders that were getting stronger and stronger said with emotion.
"Nowadays, there are turmoils all over the Sui Dynasty. I am afraid that the only place that is relatively safe is Jiangnan, which is under the rule of your third brother-in-law."
"Father, is there no peace even in Dongdu?"
"That's natural. Xingyang under my father's rule is also unrest. Now, His Majesty has issued an edict to the world, ordering all counties and counties in the world to build forts and strongholds to protect themselves from thieves."
Yang Qian let out a long sigh with emotion. He originally thought that Goguryeo had been crippled, which would give the Sui Dynasty a chance to rest and recuperate.
As a result, I was wrong, and I was so wrong. The northern expedition to Goguryeo was just a trigger, not the fundamental reason why the Sui Dynasty was like this.
It was because of Yang Guang's actions that he completely offended all the officials in the Sui Dynasty.
The reason for this is closely related to the imperial examination established by the late Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, and the Great Cause Order issued by the current Emperor Yang Guang in the third year of Daye.
In other words, these two political policy changes, one after the other, were the real cause of destroying the foundation of the Sui Dynasty's rule.
