"My lord, I have met my empress."
"What's the matter?"
Huang Xiaodao: "Madam, it's like this, I think..."
Zhang Yan nodded and said to Huang Ling: "Publish the decree of this palace: Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing, Liu Cheng, Liu An, Wei Zhongxian, Shi Kefa, please enter the palace as soon as possible to discuss matters."
Huang Ling went over to announce the decree.
There were only two people left in the room.
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I originally wanted to take you to visit His Majesty today. I'm afraid I won't have time in the afternoon, so I'll go in the evening."
Zhang Yan nodded: "Okay, from now on, you can make the decision yourself when it comes to convening ministers for discussion. There is no need to come here specially, so as not to waste time. You haven't had a day off since you came back. Are you feeling better?"
Huang Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. These important matters require my sister-in-law's nod. Naturally, I won't be polite about small matters."
"Yeah." Zhang Yan said, "Didn't you say you wanted to walk around? Why didn't you set off?"
Huang Xiao chuckled: "I went there yesterday. I got some Western banknotes from the Westerners. There were quite a lot of them. I have to spend them. It's like this..."
Huang Xiao briefly explained the situation.
Zhang Yan lost her voice and said: "Can you buy hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain with banknotes? This is too much money!"
Huang Xiao laughed loudly: "Yes, I caught a corrupt official there, but there will be many ways for me to make money in the future. Wasn't there famine everywhere in Ming Dynasty? I will work hard later and send some to each place to alleviate the problem. There was a famine, but there was no transportation loss!
The first stop, let’s go to Shaanxi. Didn’t King Qin use grain to block us? Hehe, when the time comes, I will have a good time with them and see how Lao Li and the others are doing. "
Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said softly: "Hundreds of millions of pounds, that will tire you out."
Huang Xiao smiled: "Those who are able should work harder. Anyway, I like to do this."
The two talked for a while, and then Huang Ling came to report that everyone was already here.
Zhang Yan nodded: "Xuan."
Everyone entered and after bowing, Zhang Yan took a seat.
"I've called you all here today because Marquis Zhongyi has some arrangements to share."
Huang Xiao smiled: "Everyone, I have been focusing on His Majesty's health recently and have not discussed it in detail with you. Fortunately, with the wise leadership of the Queen and your great help, everything is going well. Thank you all."
No one even dared to say so.
Huang Xiaodao: "Okay, let's discuss the matter."
"How is the situation over there with the Jurchens?"
Liu Andao said: "The slave chief, his family, women and children are already on their way to Beijing. Governor Sun, Li Shangshu and the chief assistant have taken over all the territory of the Jurchen tribe. The weapons have also been handed over. Huang Taiji has been elected as the clan leader and is gathering in In Jianzhou, we at Dahuang Village will train in the use of artillery and muskets. Once the training is successful, we will cross the Yalu River."
"Fan Wencheng and other traitors have also been locked up and taken back to the capital. Du Du's 10,000 troops have also arrived in the capital first. Lord Zuo has placed them in the capital camp and disarmed them."
Huang Xiao nodded: "His Majesty will undergo another major surgery in the near future. I am planning to hold a military parade to celebrate His Majesty's recovery and official return."
"Liu Cheng, please arrange this matter and let Tianjin Wei, Liaodong, Yansui Town, Huaiyuan Army, Xuanfu and other places organize soldiers and horses to go to Beijing to participate in the military parade. In addition, the soldiers and horses of Dudu Department must also strengthen training. By then , and let them participate. In addition, all Mongolian tribes will also be invited to the capital to watch the ceremony, and the feudal princes and clans from all over the country will also send people to the capital! The chief officials of each palace will also be invited to the capital to meet the saint!"
"Organize the masses, militia, students, and women's phalanx to be inspected together!"
"This is the style and design of the clothing. Send someone to Xuanfu Textile Factory and let them organize production."
Liu Cheng took the costume and drawings and said, "Yes!"
Yang Lian said: "Sir, this is a wonderful idea! This can show the great power of my great Ming Dynasty!"
Zuo Guangdou said: "I wonder if the time can be together with my husband's engagement banquet? If the time is right, it will definitely become a good story!"
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up and she said: "What Mr. Zuo said is true! Let's do it together! The date has not been determined anyway!"
Huang Xiao smiled: "This is a big deal! There are so many people participating, I'm afraid I won't be able to greet them!"
Zhang Yan smiled slightly: "The banquet is held along a ten-mile long street! From the capital to Dahuangzhuang, which is tens of miles away, flowing banquets are set up, and banquets are held for important guests in the palace!
Ministers, I have good news to tell you! Marquis Zhongyi said today that he purchased hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain from the Immortal Realm. How about we just do something grand like this? "
Everyone was shocked!
Yang Lian's voice stuttered! "Hundreds of...hundreds of millions of catties of grain!"
Huang Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay! With so much food, there will be no famine in our Ming Dynasty! Lord Marquis is truly the living Buddha of thousands of families, please accept my prayers!"
Yang Lian took the lead, and everyone stood up and saluted.
Huang Xiao laughed loudly: "Old Yang, why are you so polite!"
He paused and said: "In that case, I'm not welcome! By then, when the food, wine and food are enough, as long as the chef is enough, no matter who it is, they can come and eat!"
Liu Chengdao: "Are you a chef? Don't worry, young master, it'll be no problem!"
Huang Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave this to Mrs. Liu."
Liu Cheng agreed.
Zhang Yan said to Shi Kefa: "President Shi, this matter must be published in the Ming Daily at an appropriate time."
Shi Kefa responded.
Huang Xiao asked: "How is the stock situation at Xuanfu Textile Factory?"
Shi Kefa said: "The textile factory has been put into operation. The supply of cloth and wool sweaters exceeds the demand. It is very popular. The stock has been running at the highest price of three ounces. Now on the exchange, very few stocks are sold, and everyone is waiting for dividends! Through textile Taking the lead from the factory, Zhangjiakou’s business is booming, with shops popping up and the population soaring!”
"Shopkeeper Qiao's textile factory has also opened. Governor Lu adopted centralized purchasing, fixed-price rationing and fixed-price sales in Xuanfu. Shopkeeper Qiao's textile factory is also extremely popular. He has ordered ten sets of textile machines and ten more. Many people applied to open textile factories, and Governor Lu approved two."
Yang Lian interjected: "Governor Chen of Yansui Town has petitioned to establish a Yansui Textile Factory. This matter must be decided by the Marquis."
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "It's all good news! Things are booming everywhere! Very good!
As for Yansui Town, we have to wait for a while.
Lu Xiangsheng did a good job in the Xuan Mansion. His Majesty, I thought, deserved a decree to commend him, and asked him to keep up his efforts. "
Zhang Yan said: "That's right. As for the situation in Yansui Town, Marquis Zhongyi will make a trip to Yansui Town in the near future. This matter will be handled at the discretion of Marquis Zhongyi."
Huang Xiao accepted the order.
Zhang Yan looked at Song Yingxing: "Song Shilang, how is the situation of the train?"
Song Yingxing said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the railway tracks have been laid and the locomotive has been tested in Dahuangzhuang. Everything is fine. I am going to ask your Majesty to take your Majesty, your Majesty and all the civil and military officials to ride on the Ming Dynasty on the day of your recovery." A train!"
When Song Yingxing said this, his words were choked with sobs: "That day, your Majesty summoned the ministers and Mr. Wang to study this wonder of the train. Your Majesty said that one day you would ride on the Ming Dynasty's train. I, every time I think of this, I wish I could finish it as soon as possible. Why? Material... In short, this is my little thought, please accept it!"
