The popularity of woolen fabrics was even better than expected. He Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, smiled and called Ding Zhaoxing, the ambassador of the Weaving and Dyeing Institute, and began to record the orders of the gentlemen in a small notebook.
"Sir, the total is thirteen thousand two hundred and forty taels."
He Yuan grinned almost to the back of his head. He could earn more than ten thousand taels in just a short moment. If he really opened a textile factory affiliated to the Ministry of Industry as his uncle said...
Hey hey hey!
Officials, soldiers, and workers are treated with courtesy, so why should our Ministry of Industry be ranked last? Can anyone ask people from the Ministry of Industry to do private work for them? It’s not because the Ministry of Industry is too short of money.
In the past, the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated only a small amount of money to the Ministry of Works every year. If it were not for doing some private work for the masters to earn a few dollars, the craftsmen would not be able to maintain their basic living.
Unlike now, any amount of money that He Yuan has dealt with is hundreds of thousands or millions of taels.
Thanks to Mr. Yumao, our Ministry of Engineering is finally proud and proud!
The wealthy Minister He was still very respectful when facing Jia Cong. Seeing Jia Cong waving to him, he hurriedly walked over.
"Uncle, do you have anything to tell me?"
Jia Cong pointed at Yi Lan: "Master He, tell our Shunyi County Prince about the situation in the textile factory. His Highness the Prince still doesn't believe me."
"Oh? What does Your Highness the County Prince want to hear?"
He Yuan looked at Yi Lan with a smile, his eyes were strange, as if he were looking at a bunch of white coins...
Yi Lan adjusted his mentality and followed the etiquette of the Daxia people and raised his hands: "Master He, this Khan... I would like to ask Master He, if the Ministry of Industry wants to order wool from the grassland, what is the price? What is the price for the woven clothes? Can it really be sold?”
He Yuan had a look of embarrassment on his face, looked around, and whispered in Yi Lan's ear: "Originally, this is a secret of the Ministry of Industry, but His Royal Highness is not an outsider, so I will tell you everything... …”
Not only the civil and military officials, but also the official family members on the right noticed the difference in the clothes worn by the female family members of the Jia family.
Especially Mrs. Xing's character, she can't wait to pull off the Xia Pei covering her woolen sweater to show her son's filial piety to her.
After a while, all the ladies in the official circle knew that Uncle Yongfeng had given his aunt a very soft and warm piece of clothing.
The novel woolen sweater quickly became popular among the official family members, and He Yuan already had a premonition that the officials of the Ministry of Industry would have a good and prosperous New Year.
By the way, what did uncle say last time? The craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are all treasures and must be provided for properly.
Then according to the uncle's plan, all the craftsmen's workshops will be demolished and rebuilt next year, so that the craftsmen can live in brick houses. There are also children of craftsmen who all receive compulsory education to prepare for their future needs.
…
Dong dong dong dong~
The drums of war sounded, and the Holy Spirit arrived.
The originally chaotic and noisy crowd immediately returned to their respective classes and lined up to welcome the Second Saint.
"I pay homage to the saint and pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live!"
Liu Heng helped the sage onto the high platform. After sitting down, he waved and said, "Your Majesty, please bow down without courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
During the flag hunting, the early winter wind brought a bit of chill, but the enthusiasm of the hunting in Tienwang Mountain dissipated the chill on people's bodies. Both men and women were eagerly looking forward to the official start of the hunting.
He Yaomin, the Minister of Rites, presided over the entire ceremony, but before the official start of the hunt, there was an unprecedented ceremony, which was to confer Yi Lan with an imperial edict.
Naturally, the imperial seal was not given casually. Before that, Yi Lan had to show his sincerity.
"My lord, Wala Khan Borjijin Yilan, pays homage to His Majesty the Great Tian Khan!"
Yi Lan paid homage, and this time the Tian Khan he met was not the old sage, but the current emperor Liu Heng.
He respectfully held up the golden seal of Wala Khan with both hands, knelt down and worshiped: "I admire the power of Heaven, and in the name of Wala Khan, I am willing to bring millions of subjects of Wala to surrender to Daxia and become the subjects of His Majesty Tian Khan. , loyal to the Celestial Empire from generation to generation!"
Although everyone was talking about it, this matter had been rumored in the capital for a long time, so no one was surprised. Even the envoys of Goryeo and Japan were still laughing at Daxia, and they were about to be taken advantage of again.
After all, the vassal state only surrendered in name only, and the name Tian Khan brought nothing more than a false reputation. Instead, it was accompanied by a reward of considerable value...
"I respectfully request His Majesty Tian Khan to allow Oara to be merged into Daxia, to remove vassals and establish counties, and to request the imperial court to send officials to replace Tian's herdsmen!"
boom!
Now the entire campus exploded!
In addition to Xia Lingxing and several central ministers, the officials accompanying him, envoys from various vassal states, and their family members were all shocked.
"Is Yilan stupid? How can he live well without Wala?"
The first to jump were the Tatar envoys. The Tatars did not want to deal with Oara, but they were least willing to see Oara merge into Daxia.
The envoy of Goryeo secretly thought: Everyone is taking advantage of their nominal surrender. If you Yilan does this, isn't it going to ruin everyone's jobs?
The expressions on the faces of the feudal lords were different, but they all had the same thoughts. But there are some differences...
"On behalf of my king, I, Shang Deyi, respectfully request your majesty to allow Ryukyu to be incorporated into the Celestial Empire, and to withdraw vassals and establish counties!"
Ryukyu had been oppressed by the Japanese for many years, and finally King Wang came and drove the Japanese away.
But the Ryukyu Kingdom is too weak. Even though China has stationed an army of 3,000 people in Ryukyu, the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom are still uneasy, fearing that the Chinese army will leave...
Yi Lan is such a good person. What's so good about being the King of Ryukyu? It's better to come to the flowery world of Daxia Capital to enjoy the happiness.
As long as the Celestial Empire allows it, the Shang family doesn't want any princes anymore, they can just give it to any prince or uncle!
He Yaomin was confused by the sudden petition for surrender. Fortunately, he was a professional and quickly regained his composure.
He Yaomin turned around and bowed to the emperor: "Oara and Ryukyu admire Heaven's grace and wish to submit to the imperial court. Please ask for your Majesty's sanction!"
Liu Heng glanced in the direction of the saint and saw the old man nodding slightly, so he said in a deep voice: "It's accurate! The Ministry of Rites sent an envoy to visit the leader of the Ryukyu Kingdom to discuss the surrender. Yilan..."
Yi Lan hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "I am here."
Liu Heng stepped down from the high platform and helped Yi Lan up: "Your action is of great benevolence and righteousness. It has saved tens of millions of people from military disasters, and the merits are immeasurable. I will not hesitate to reward you, and the Ministry of Rites declares!"
"I obey the decree!"
He Yaomin took out a colorful cloud-patterned imperial edict from the tray and slowly opened it: "I only believe that good deeds are created by heaven and earth, and I regard Huayi as one family. I cannot bear to fight again, and I always want them to be born and raised in the universe... Now I allow Wala Khan to Bo'er Zhijin·Yilan played the song, in addition to the vassal state of Oala, the Anbei Protectorate of Daxia was established, and Bo'er Zhijin·Yilan was granted the title of Prince of Shunyi, hereditary Anbei Gong. The Grand Governor of the Anbei Protectorate..."
The imperial edict is very long and more detailed than other previous edicts.
Not only did he approve Yilan's request for surrender, but he also directly clarified the court's treatment of Wala in the imperial edict.
In addition to the throne of Wala Fan, the Anbei Protectorate was established, and the prefectural and county government offices were established. Yi Lanyao led the governor of the Anbei Protectorate to assist the court in controlling the military, political and civil affairs of Yuanwala as soon as possible.
At the same time, the imperial edict given to Yilan was also very meaningful. He was made king, and his descendants would inherit the title of Duke Anbei and retire with the country.
There is also comfort for the powerful people in Wala, but we have to wait and see how Wala will react after receiving the news here.
When the time comes, hit them when they need to be beaten, and comfort them when they need to be comforted. With the righteous loyalty of Yi Lan, the former Khan of Wala, and the strategy formulated by the central government, it would be relatively easy for the court to completely control Wala.
…
Originally, the envoys from various vassal states came happily to accompany the emperor on hunting. They thought that they would shout long live as usual, go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to receive their rewards, and then go back to continue playing music and dancing.
I don’t want this year’s Tienwang Mountain Hunting Fair to be a Hongmen Banquet. If Daxia does this, is this going to scare the monkeys?
There were a lot more pigeons flying out of Tienwang Mountain today, almost exhausting the Dragon Guard agents guarding the perimeter.
These things have nothing to do with Jia Cong. He happily followed the sage and moved pieces of tender and delicious game to the Jia family's tent.
In the end, the old man felt really embarrassed, so he gave him a whole venison and kicked him out of the imperial tent.
The first day of the hunt was almost spent in a banquet given by the emperor because of the great joy of Wala's surrender.
But the second day was not so easy. It can't be said that anything bad happened, it was just a bit surprising.
Before dawn, Jia Cong was called out by the emperor's people and was urgently summoned to the emperor's tent to discuss matters.
At the same time, those who were summoned also included Xia Lingxing, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, Zhang Yue, the British Duke, Shen Zhui, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Wen Lian, the left minister of the Ministry of War.
"Dear dear friends, we are here eight hundred miles from Hexi..."
Hexi urgent play? Could it be that he lost the battle? It shouldn’t be!
Liu Heng handed the urgent note to Jia Cong: "I'll read it to you dear friends."
"I obey the decree!"
Jia Cong took it and opened it: "My son, Hong, is reporting that on July 16, the seventh year of Yuanyou, Pingxi General and Ningyuan County Marquis Prince Teng led an 80,000-strong army to march westward in order to defeat the rebels and traitors in the Western Regions..."
After Xining was pacified, Wang Ziteng was ordered to control Yiying's army in Hexi. On July 16th, he officially marched westward to Jiayuguan, intending to fight against the rebels of the Sixteen Kingdoms in the Western Regions.
Unexpectedly, the military strength and combat power of the rebels in the Western Regions seemed to have suddenly reached a higher level. They fought against the imperial army of 80,000 people outside Jiayuguan for more than ten consecutive games without defeat. Instead, they only won a few small games, which made Wang Ziteng suffer a hidden loss.
In early August, the spies finally returned the news. It turned out that the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions followed the Xining Army in rebellion, and in fact, they had the bewitching support of the Rakshasa Kingdom behind them.
Although the sixteen countries in the Western Region are all small countries, because they are located on the strategic route of the Silk Road, almost all of these sixteen small city-states are extremely rich, and the Rakshasa Kingdom has been coveting it for a long time.
This rebellion was planned long ago by the Rakshasa Kingdom. Stir up the greed of the countries in the Western Regions and let them fight with the Central Plains Dynasty so that they can reap the benefits.
However, they had calculated one thing wrong. The emperor would send Wang Ziteng out. The Xining army died too quickly, and Wang Ziteng was ruthless enough. He directly used himself as bait to create a center for the countries in the Western Regions to attack from both front and rear!
