Biography
杨砥，泽州人。
明史卷一百五十 列传第三十八：
杨砥，字大用，泽州人。洪武末，由进士授行人司右司副。上疏言：“扬雄为莽大夫，贻讥万世。董仲舒《天人三策》及正谊明道之言，足以扶翼世教。今孔庙从祀有雄无仲舒，非是。”帝从之。历官湖广布政司参议。建文中，言：“帝尧之德始于亲九族。今宜惇睦诸藩，无自剪枝叶。”不报。父丧归。
成祖即位，起鸿胪寺卿，乞终制。服阕，擢礼部侍郎，坐视河渠失职，降工部主事，改礼部。永乐十年迁北京行太仆寺卿。时吴桥至天津大水决堤伤稼。砥请开德州东南黄河故道及土河，以杀水势。帝命工部侍郎蔺芳经理之。定牧马法，请令民五丁养种马一匹，十马立群头一人，五十马立群长一人，养马家岁蠲租粮之半。而蓟州以东至山海诸卫，土地宽广，水草丰美，其屯军人养种马一匹，租亦免半。帝命军租尽蠲之，余悉从其议。于是马大蕃息。
砥刚介有守，尤笃孝行。十六年，母丧哀毁，未至家，卒。
