The imperial general returned to Beijing, requested to report to the Ministry of War in advance, and stayed at the designated place, waiting for the emperor's summons.

Yang Wanqing returned to the capital the day before yesterday. Will she go out for a stroll tomorrow? She will see the prosperity of the market and the people's hearts.

The Emperor mistakenly summoned Yang Wanqing and did not wait long.

The trees in front of the palace have not changed, but... they have changed their owners.

Empress Yang sighed, ah no, now she should be called Yang Wanqing, not the Empress Dowager.

According to historical records, ten months ago, after the emperor became seriously ill, the prince passed away after the crown prince. With tears in his eyes, he said to Empress Yang that from now on he would retreat to the second line, live in peace and quiet, and ignore government affairs. Is that a blessing, but I am different.

, I was young, and because he was weak and weak during those years, he was already a waste. If you marry me, you will marry someone who is worthy of your title, so you won’t delay me, and they can make peace with each other.

Although I am not a woman, I have talents that are no less than those of men, and my heart is as high as the sky, and I wholeheartedly contribute to the country. Let me go. Empress Dowager Yang calls me old. I should have a new life.

Although some places in that historical record are embarrassing and strange, they still show the generosity and magnanimity of the emperor, and the steadfastness of Queen Yang... Well, it is very recorded in it, Yang

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, she cried like a tearful person. She begged the Queen Mother three times, but was driven away.

Well, if someone takes that to be true, then Yang Wanqing can take it to be true.

For example, when she left, she swore to the emperor that she would always be a loyal minister and help the empire clear away troubles on its borders, just like her ancestors.

After getting free, Empress Yang left the house (she had to pay for framing the prince, so she dropped the matter after paying a fine), and took the textile loom, wool processing machine, iron stove, etc. with her in despair.

Things went back to Hebei and other places, and everything was empty... Oh no, why not try to make money.

Since ancient times, money has been really hard to make, but this time it was different.

Within half a year, Jiangmen in Hebei discovered that money was really easy to make. In an era when cotton did not appear on a large scale, wool products were processed and were very suitable for use as woolen coats, woolen yarns, etc. It was simply not possible.

A tool for making money.

The market is like a bottomless black hole. As long as I have wool, I can make money. Moreover, cheese processing, meat processing and other industries are all one-stop profitable industries.

She lived a very comfortable life. After having money, countless worries disappeared. For example, every family paid money to the soldiers who died in the war or were disabled to make everyone's life better.

She originally thought that after receiving such a great favor from Shen Yu, she would naturally want to make a sharper knife and mistakenly go to another aristocratic family. However, she did not expect that they would continue to give them good things.

After the cement was produced, it was transported to them and made into salt works. The wool products were enshrined there. Not only did they not ask for tribute (red clothes), but they wore them on the bodies of the princes and grandsons, opening up the market for everyone.

, help sell it elsewhere.

"Sister, please rest assured. The emperor is kind and wants everyone to have a good life. He has no other bad intentions. You are wrong. When you have time, sweep the northeast. It would be better if you can hold the wool in your own legs. If you don't have a group of people, you won't be there."

The goods are no longer good."

In Xue Yuhua's letter to her, the tone was very relaxed.

"General Yang, please."

Some foreign servants said that, wrong, a month ago, because she wiped out the largest barbarian nest in Northern Xinjiang, she had a nondescript third-grade general title, General of the North.

In their eyes, that title was useless, but she knew that it was her ideal when she and sister Xue Yuhua were young a long time ago.

May there be peace in the east of the world, and may we protect the border for Daqian.

At that time, the two sisters were young and passionate, and both wanted to change the world. Until later, they were severely ravaged by the world.

That title of general was given to her by the emperor against all odds. She was the former queen mother and now the iron-clad female general of the empire.

Since then, she has walked a completely different path.

The group of people walked along the courtyard and came to the pond not far away. There was an opera troupe singing, which was one of the emperor's favorites.

After the crown prince ascended the throne, he did not overhaul the palace, nor did he recruit civilians. He recalled the wives and concubines of the old moon to the palace, accompanied by about ten people, and no new ones were admitted. This shocked countless people.

Well, that's not the case. For example, there are some people in the palace who don't want to leave. For example... there are some things that shouldn't be said in too much detail.

"Ah, General Yang is here."

That man walked away with a smile, but his steps were still a little sloppy. He hadn't practiced his qi at all yet?

Yang Wanqing frowned and glanced at Xue Yuhua.

The emperor's safety is more important than anything else, so why doesn't Xue Yuhua help Shen Yu?

"I'm more focused on official duties, so I don't have to worry about practicing. Don't worry, he pays great attention to safety."

The man had a very gentle attitude and motioned for her to walk beside him.

The man's breath made Yang Hou's heart suddenly become a little confused. That man...she couldn't understand it more and more. In other words, Zhi Yan felt that he had many conspiracies, but now...but she found that she was just a little chicken. !

"Tell me about the situation there, what is needed, what is missing, and what should be done."

He asked Yang Wanqing to come east with several generals to talk about the situation there.

"no."

The empire has conquered the grasslands many times in the past, but failed due to various reasons. Could it be different this time?

When it was discovered that the wool business could make a lot of money, and it could be made every year, then the bitter cold place that everyone had despised before turned into a gold mine!

Not only the generals of Hebei Province, but also the businessmen who were colluding with the Xiongnu, the local forces holding back the Xiongnu, etc., all mobilized with all their strength.

Everyone worked together, united sincerely, deceived each other, turned against each other and started the war ruthlessly.

The emperor was also very interesting. Taking advantage of the first ripening of sweet potatoes, he issued a war bond, and officials from major aristocratic families enthusiastically subscribed. The scene was very spectacular, ensuring the needs of the front line.

Yang Wanqing has never fought such a comfortable battle.

Zaidong is completely integrated, Legdong is working hard, the logistics support is sufficient, and the leg mines and other weapons sent are simply magical.

If in the past, many people would say that rabbits are dead and dogs are cooked, and birds are hidden behind bows, it would be wrong not to kill them all. But that time, everyone's eyes were blood red.

The so-called Age of Discovery is too far away. Is there anything better than occupying a fiefdom on the grassland? And the military achievements are not as good as that one. In Hexi, in the Western Regions, in many, many places, the emperor said, Daqian With a population of 100 million, the demand for wool is endless. Those places are good places for grazing and can be occupied by the East!

Disciples from the capital came to join the army with their own weapons, and merchants from all over the country sent various equipment. Captured enemies were quickly purchased, and cement factories and other factories were in short supply of human legs.

Everyone was very satisfied with the progress of the war. The army swept across the entire grassland and achieved very remarkable military exploits. Moreover, because of the wool trade, they would not be able to invade the east and occupy it in the future.

She talked about the situation excitedly, as excited as a lark.

One by one, after explaining the matter one by one, the emperor said that he understood the matter and whether the reward and promotion were indispensable.

Yang Wanqing went to kowtow to express gratitude, but was stopped by Xue Yuhua, who said no, the emperor's new policy does not require kneeling down.

But otherwise, Yang Wanqing felt extremely grateful.

No, Hebei Jiangmen has never been so proud in so many years.

Although I was able to save some money when I was the queen, I was cursed by the people of Tiandong. Moreover, the money was a lot of wasted money, and it could not make up for the big hole in the east. Where is it like now, when the army enters the city, enjoys praise, and attracts the attention of everyone?

The emperor praised everyone for being the iron wall of the country (Iron Wall Army).

Wrong, she didn't like to flatter people before, but tomorrow, her brothers and comrades have all become flatterers, and even she feels embarrassed.

"Okay, let's go for a walk together."

Shen Yu asked the heroes to go drink, and then took Xue Yuhua and Yang Hou to a pond.

"Yuhua regrets fighting with me back then. Now, we sisters should be reconciled as before."

"Bidong, he and Yuhua have made peace with each other."

"Sister Yang, I am too arrogant. I am so arrogant that I look down on most people. That is not good."

Shen Yu shook his head slightly, feeling a little speechless.

"He, he has never looked down on me, the Emperor!"

Yang Wanqing is a bit of a bastard. Although she has a very fearful character, the emperor in front of her still scares her a lot.

Is that the fear that comes from respect?

A person respects a person, whether because that person has an advantage, or has given her a benefit, or has advantages that are difficult for her to achieve.

After he became emperor, he still maintained a very ordinary life.

Especially today, she saw that he didn't even practice Qi, and she didn't even know what he wanted to do.

A long time ago, her master told her about a big devil in the world. That man had dominated the world for decades and was unbeatable.

"That person doesn't seek fame, profit, wealth, lust, and doesn't even ask for magical secrets. He's just a trash who likes to tease people. Can that person make the whole world a mess?

Gou Tiao, he chased him several times without success..."

When the master talked about him, his face showed expressions of anger, nostalgia, and admiration.

When she was a child, she didn't know what was scary about that kind of person until she met Shen Yu.

Although she could kill him with just one finger, she would rather kneel in front of him to please her.

Because all her glory, happiness, including the current atmosphere, were not given by that person.

Even if she kills him and takes the throne, it will be equivalent to destroying everything about herself.

"Bidong, he has never been in contact with the Black Lotus Sect again. He made some random drunken remarks during those confinements, but he definitely did not ridicule Bidong."

She said that.

When she was a child, she read ancient books and saw many people being framed and would rather die than resist. She felt that those people were stupid. But now she understands that some people are very weak, but no, I can never mention them in front of him.

It means that the enemy is wrong.

How did I win over someone like that?
