"The emperor wants to live in peace with the grassland, so I have written a letter about you, Suijin Town, and Miss Song!"
Song Liyun was a little surprised. His business was just for business and could be sold for some money. Why did he need to write it down and report it to the emperor?
She said tactfully: "A commoner woman is just a prostitute, and all she does is trivial things. How can she delay the Sacred Heart!"
Jiang Feng looked at her as if she were a monster: "The trivial things you mentioned are not trivial, right?"
"Acorn vermicelli, barbecue ingredients, rapeseed oil, wool yarn fabrics, cashmere blankets, horn combs, horn button jewelry, cartons and paper bags, toilet paper..." Jiang Feng didn't get bored and counted them one by one with his fingers.
.
Only then did Song Liyun realize that she had accidentally done too much.
Song Liyun smiled: "These... are nothing! I am a child from a poor family. I am afraid of poverty, so I just want to make more money!"
Jiang Feng did not mention the emperor again, but said: "The Di tribe burns, kills, and loots Yunzhou every year. In the final analysis, they are short of materials and means of survival.
Last year it was peaceful without heavy snow, and only two small villages were robbed.
In response to this situation, every generation of courtiers either proposed marriage to appease or launched heavy military campaigns, but they could not eliminate the hidden dangers.
The Emperor thinks your method of making the tribe rich is feasible, and he has had several quarrels with the Queen Mother in private!"
The emperor and the queen mother are at odds with each other, and the emperor is still under the control of the queen mother?
Song Liyun's mind was buzzing: Is this... can I hear it?
Will he be beheaded immediately?
She was worried in her heart, but her face was calm. She could hear what Jiang Feng said.
As Jiang Feng narrated, Song Liyun gradually understood the meaning.
Although the emperor is now personally in charge of the government, most of the affairs of the government are handled with the assistance of the queen mother and Duke An.
One is the biological mother and the other is the biological uncle, which is normal.
In general political affairs, the three of them get along well.
But when it came to dealing with Dilu Wangting, a confidant of the Wu Dynasty, there was a difference.
The Queen Mother wants to get married and use softness to control strength. She believes that as long as a woman is smart enough, she can resolve the conflicts between the two ethnic groups and at least alleviate the annual border conflicts.
Duke An Guo was a soldier and did not believe that women could play any role in state affairs.
He insisted on heavy troops and strict defense, and the imperial court continued to station troops in Yunzhou, and also wanted to restore the original 100,000-strong army to have overwhelming power against the Di people.
But this will inevitably increase military spending.
When the emperor ascends the throne, the problem of military pay arrears for the Zhenbei Army will naturally be solved. However, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely not want to increase military expenditures. That is another nonsense.
An Guogong's request to increase troops has not yet been approved, but the emperor wants to suppress the tiger with the tiger. He hopes that the Wu Dynasty will send troops and money to support his cousin Zhao Tingduo to become the leader of the royal court of the tribe and completely solve the problem of the Di tribe's invasion of the country.
As soon as this plan came out, the Empress Dowager and An Guogong rejected it, saying that he was too young to do anything and his ideas were naive.
Wouldn't it be dangerous to raise tigers? The Wuda tribe alone only has more than 200 people. Even if the Zhenbei Army sends a Lei Zi battalion of 400 people to conquer a piece of territory in the Mida Valley, it will not be able to keep up.
The Dilu royal court with tens of thousands of troops resisted.
Regardless of human and financial resources, the Wuda tribe still relies on the Zhenbei Army. It would be great if it does not become a drag on the Wu Dynasty. How can it entrust national affairs to a small tribe?
Moreover, the Dilu Royal Court and the Wu Dynasty had a tacit understanding for hundreds of years.
If the Wu Dynasty sends troops into the grassland and destroys the balance among the grassland tribes without authorization, the royal court will bloodbath the Yunzhou border town.
In other words, the 400 Thunder Camps of the Uda tribe are causing trouble in the Mida Valley, using the excuse of tribal conflict, which is consistent with tribal revenge.
Everyone knows that the Wuda tribe was exterminated twenty years ago, so the royal court will not intervene.
If the Wu Dynasty Zhenbei Army openly entered the grassland, it would be a declaration of war on the royal court, which has a certain say in the grassland. This is not what both sides want to see.
Song Liyun's face changed drastically after hearing this, she was dripping with cold sweat, and her fingers holding the hem of her skirt were turning white.
"Master Jiang, does the city defense know this news?"
The garrison of troops in the grassland was discussed with Zhao Tinlei a year ago. If the Zhenbei Army was not stationed, would Mida City still be built?
Jiang Feng has always been the little emperor's man, what does he mean by saying this to himself?
"Zhao Tinglei should have received a letter from the Queen Mother and An Guogong, saying that he will terminate the agreement with you, but he doesn't know what the emperor means.
I want you to come today because I want you to leave for Hecheng as soon as possible and tell General Lei what the emperor wants.
We can continue to support the Wuda tribe, but we can no longer openly send troops to stimulate the royal court. We can only find other ways."
When Song Liyun heard this, her hanging heart returned to normal, but it still kept beating.
She had been living in the cracks of laughing at Nanny Xu before, but now she understood that the Wuda tribe was really dancing on the edge of a knife.
The imperial court represented by the Queen Mother and An Guo Gong was not optimistic about the Wuda tribe. In their hearts, Mrs. Wu Ya was just a concubine raised by An Guo Gong.
The Wuda tribe was not allowed to expand its military force to prevent it from irritating the Dilu royal court, so sending maids and craftsmen and wives meant they had no weapons capable of fighting.
On the other hand, establishing a good relationship with Wang Ting and his wife is a quite satisfactory foreign policy.
However, the Queen Mother and An Guogong underestimated the determination of the young emperor.
The emperor was young and vigorous, and a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. He wanted to support and strengthen the Wuda tribe and check and balance the Dilu royal court, so he contacted old people like Jiang Feng privately.
The choice of the Uda tribe is obviously a difficult problem.
One wrong move and you could be wiped out!
Seeing that Song Liyun had been silent, Jiang Feng knew that he could not make a decision easily, so he reminded: "The emperor is very interested in your business. It is better to let the tribe prosper first. If the merchants of the Wu Dynasty hire guardian guards,
The Dilu Royal Court cannot interfere!"
Song Liyun's heart moved, and a vague thought emerged: It is normal for a prosperous shopping mall to have a large escort team.
He is from the Wu Dynasty, the caravan is also from the Wu Dynasty, and it is normal that the escort is also from the Wu Dynasty.
The Zhenbei Army cannot show up, but they can change their military uniforms and their heads and faces.
Jiang Feng was afraid that what he said was serious, and Song Liyun would be afraid, so he added: "Your business is doing very well, but it is obviously not enough. I have written a memorial to the Ministry of Household Affairs, recommending your pear blossom paper and various
The paper bag was included as a tribute from the imperial merchants."
Song Liyun's eyes lit up: Being selected as a tribute does not make a profit, but it can increase visibility and have an advertising effect.
With the tribute as a cover, your mall will be more confident.
But she also thought of a question: "Who is Huangshang...?"
Jiang Feng hesitated slightly: "Yuzhou Bai family, you don't need to worry about anything happening."
Oh! That’s the emperor’s person, I don’t know him!
The Qi family in Hecheng used to be a branch of the imperial merchants. They were arrested by Zhao Tinlei for human trafficking a year ago. The family fled and have not been seen since.
In the Qi family in the capital, the emperor's eldest princess and the emperor's concubine worked around each other. They sacrificed the Haoran family property and took off the imperial merchant hat that had been passed down for decades to save their lives.
Now Yunzhou procurement is managed by the Bai family.
There are no imperial merchants in Yunzhou, the Bai family is just a name, and the Hecheng garrison is in charge of everything.
Now Jiang Feng asked Song Liyun to give pear blossom paper as a tribute instead of prairie things like sheepskin yarn, just to give her a chance to stand out alone.
