Chapter 56: Brother Zheng is sincere with his virtuous brother
Chapter 56
Hu Wei said with a look of surprise. "What big deal can this be? Your Majesty doesn't want it. General Yu won't give away the gift, so how can he throw it away? Besides, having a banquet with close friends, this is not a big deal."
After Zheng Yuanxun saw the doubts on both of their faces, he slowly shook his head. "Two worthy brothers, in our eyes, this is indeed not a big deal. But since today's emperor has become more and more suspicious,
The heavier."
"General Yu has been feared by the emperor for a long time, and General Liang is the general in charge of the imperial army around the emperor, but he has a close relationship with Yu Juluo, and they even had a secret banquet..."
"In addition, Yu Wenshu and Yu Juluo are not on good terms with each other. It is really strange that General Yu can still be safe and sound after a little provocation."
The three of them stood on the river embankment. Hu Wei shook his head in disbelief. "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the world by doing this?"
Zheng Yuanxun raised his hand and patted Hu Wei's shoulder and laughed.
"Haha, on my day, I will destroy the Chen Dynasty, conquer the Tuyuhun in the west, attack the Turks in the north, open up schools and recruit scholars, build the Great Wall, connect canals, and build the Eastern Capital. I will conquer all nations and achieve great achievements, far surpassing those of our predecessors.
He has almost reached the level of human emperor. Now that the world is at peace, the loyal and good people in the court are gradually replaced by Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji and others. He is still the sage emperor who worked hard to govern..."
"My brother is very discerning. Since the emperor came to the throne, he has made me and my third brother Yuan Cong study hard behind closed doors in Xingyang. In the past, Zheng was still resentful, but now it seems that my brother has seen clearly and is unwilling to let me and my third brother.
My reasons for joining the officialdom."
Yang Qian was also sighing after hearing this. He had already learned some stories about Yang Guang from history books. When he came to this time and space, the more he learned, the more he understood why Yang Guang was so arrogant and arrogant.
, just because he has done so well in the past.
It was so good that he had nothing to do. In addition, he preferred to listen to what was said, but did not like unfaithful words. He liked to do things based on his personal likes and dislikes. In addition, the conquest of Goguryeo was a waste of money and people, and he wantonly slaughtered the heroes. Naturally, he aroused the anger of heaven and the people.
In other words, at least for now, if Yang Guang himself does not make changes, the decline of the Sui Dynasty will be inevitable.

"After listening to Brother Zheng's words, Hu also felt that he was convinced. It would be better to wait for the opportunity. At worst, he would be like his father, taking care of business affairs and running the business well, and he would be happy." Hu Wei nodded and sighed.
Yang Qian saw Hu Wei's expression of sigh and Zheng Yuanxun's expression of cynicism, so he could only bite the bullet and persuade him.
"What you two brothers are saying makes sense, but these words can only come out of our mouths and into our ears. It is better not to be wanton. Our Majesty cannot listen to people's comments."
Zheng Yuanxun and Hu Wei looked at each other and bowed to Yang Qian. "I have heard about Yang Xiandi's talent for a long time. Hu Xiandi and Zheng are close friends, and Hu Xiandi and you are close friends.
Your previous act of showing courtesy to the remaining volumes of "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Zhuan" made Zheng know that your wise brother is a humble gentleman with a broad mind and as gentle as jade."
"We are both from Xingyang, and we have friendship, so naturally we are in the same spirit. If we dare not talk about it with such words, how can we have a heart-to-heart talk?"
Seeing Zheng Yuanxun showing his feelings like this, Yang Qian couldn't say anything else, but he was secretly murmuring in his heart, this guy is so enthusiastic, could there be something going on here?
However, the Yang family in Xingze currently only has his father, a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Industry, who is not as deeply rooted as the Zheng family in Xingyang.
Even if he has something to ask for, hehe... wait until you actually ask for it, Yang Qian thought to himself in a bachelor's mind. He traveled to this era to live a good life, not to be used as a chess piece or a gunman for others.
Taking advantage of the time to step down the embankment, Hu Wei fell two steps behind and said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, dear brother. Brother Zheng is sincere in his friendship with me. Although he has a slightly reckless temperament, he is a rare and magnanimous gentleman."
"I can certainly trust someone who can be taken as a confidant by Brother Hu." Yang Qian nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Hu Wei's words.
When he reached the embankment, Zheng Yuanxun looked at the farmers in the fields and couldn't help but wonder.
"Brother, if we cultivate these ten thousand acres of wasteland, it will take a lot of effort, but there are too few cattle, right?"
Yang Qian smiled helplessly. "There's nothing we can do about it. There's been flooding this year, and there are almost no cattle left in the mansion. It's all hurting Brother Hu..."
In this vast field, there are only seven cattle, and there are also a few horses and donkeys. In this era, cattle are extremely important.
All the cattle previously used by the Yang family became victims of the flood, and all the cattle borrowed from the Hu family also fell into disrepair.
Although money and silk were provided as compensation, in fact, the loss could not be compensated by money. The Yang family spent this period of time waving money and money everywhere, and so far they have only purchased seven cattle.
Now that the land has doubled, just thinking about how to increase the number of cattle is enough to give Yang Qian and his son a headache. Even the housekeeper, Uncle Song, has turned a lot of gray because of this worry.
In the past, two oxen and a straight-shaft plow plowed three acres a day. Now, although the curved-shaft plow has doubled the efficiency, it still does not help.
After hearing Yang Qian talk about the difficulties, Hu Wei directly complained about Yang Qian.
"Brother, you wouldn't have told me about such a big thing as farming. It's still early for autumn planting, so let's ask someone to come to my house. Although I have lost some cattle, I still have more than forty.
It’s not farming season now, dear brother, you need animal power here, so it’s just the right time to use it.”
Just as Yang Qian was about to refuse, the butler Uncle Song suddenly slipped over and his eyes lit up, and he saluted Hu Wei.
"Oh, this is really timely. Then I can thank Mr. Hu on behalf of my young master and my master."
Hu Wei couldn't help but smile and return the gift. "Uncle Song, please don't be so polite. If I see something going on at Uncle Yang's house but don't care about it, I'm afraid I'll be punished by my father when I get home."
Zheng Yuanxun rolled his eyes and took a step forward with a smile. "Brother Xian's house lacks cattle for farming, but I, the Zheng family, lack good tools for farming.
How about this? I see that there are many people in Tianzhong who are skilled in operating this curved shaft plow. I wonder if you can borrow a few of them to accompany me to Xingyang?"
"If my dear brother agrees, let these experts who are good at using the Quyu plow go to Xingyang and teach my tenants of the Zheng family how to use this thing.
Then I might as well sell some of the farm cattle in the mansion to Yang Xiandi at the market price. I dare not say how many there are, but with thirty cattle, I can still make the decision..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but take a breath of cold air.
