Chapter 684: Finale(1/2)
Zhou Heng pointed to Beishan. This large building has stretched for several miles now and looks very spectacular.
"Your Majesty, you see, a year ago, it was still deserted, but there were a few farmers who were farming that relied on the weather and could barely make a living. After all, the land was barren and mostly saline-alkali land, but now it is a prosperous scene.
The Tatars are nomadic peoples. They migrate wherever they are rich in water and plants. As for the south attack on Datong, they just have no food because of the famine. So if they want to stop the war for years, the best way is not to defend and prepare for war, but to trade!"
Ning Wang frowned. The operation of Beishan naturally shocked him, but talking about trade with Tatars a little surprised him.
"You mean, let us do business with the Tatars? Provide them with food and grass? This is not to make them stronger and have the ability to attack Datong. If not, let alone this king, your Majesty will not agree!"
Zhou Heng smiled, "Trade is about buying and selling. There is a sale. There is also a purchase. Not to mention food, we can sell too many things. Salt, corn and potatoes for new crops can also be sold. They can exchange BMWs, cattle, sheep, livestock, fur ore, gold and silver for exchange. When everything can be traded, why do we need to start a war?"
King Ning looked at Zhou Heng and signaled Zhou Heng to continue.
"As far as I know, the Tatars are now composed of more than a dozen tribes. Once they are going south to attack Datong, they will all gather together. In fact, they are not very united.
Especially when dividing the spoils, there are often wars due to uneven distribution of the spoils. Sometimes the casualties are even worse than attacking Datong, even in Liaobei.
If we send a caravan, of course Huichuntang can also send a team of doctors to trade with these tribes with various supplies. Will these tribes that have tasted the sweetness still participate in the war?
Furthermore, if you want to trade with us, learn farming techniques, and medical knowledge, how can they not learn our Daliang Chinese?
When these Tatars were full and well-dressed, spoke Chinese language, learned Chinese characters, wore Daliang clothing, planted the crops we provided, and even worked in the mining workshops we mined, why did they still take up their knives to attack us?
They will worship us as immortal heaven, because we are the guardian gods of their wives and children!”
Ning Wang looked shocked on his face. He stared at Zhou Heng for a while, his eyes became more firm, because what Zhou Heng said really touched him.
The war has been fought for hundreds of years and each has its own losses. If this method is feasible, wouldn’t it really make the borders between Datong and northern Liaoning peaceful?
"What if other tribes resist and disagree with trade?"
Zhou Heng smiled, "When you kill chickens and scare the monkeys, when you encounter such a person, you can directly hit them at one time to convince them. Whether it is a cavalry or a flying team, you can do it by attacking or destroying their tribe.
Just manage one or two such tribes, or convince the leader who is picking in the twelve tribes, wouldn’t these remaining people be a mess of sand?”
Ning Wang nodded, "What is this plan called?"
Zhou Heng thought about it and couldn't find any more sensible words. He sighed and said:
"Open trade barriers and carry out cultural invasions! Just call this plan, it doesn't take much. In three to five years, areas outside Liaobei and Datong will gradually settle down.
If nomadic peoples no longer nomadic people, choose the way we live, carry out farming and settle down, raise cattle and sheep for us, and bring us cheap labor, what else can we worry about in this Tatar?"
Ning Wang nodded. If the Fei team cooperated with the cavalry, it would be a perfect combination and a harvest-style blow. It might be feasible to cooperate with such a plan.
"Okay, they went to Fujian, and the capital was also clearing the remnants of the remnants of the forces. You have nothing to do. Hurry up and write a charter on what you just said. I will talk to Your Majesty in detail, but you can do this!"
Zhou Heng paused and looked at King Ning with a grievance.
"Prince, I am a doctor. How could you let me do this? It's okay to write a charter, but I can't do it in practice. Look at my body, can I withstand the fatigue of driving?"
King Ning smiled and slapped Zhou Heng on the back.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and write!"
......
Twenty days later, Zhou Heng just got up and opened the window to look outside. The cold air was so cold that it was covered with silver outside.
I quickly closed the window, finished washing, and left the room with neat clothes.
He had returned to the Zhou Mansion, and King Ning had not left. Since he was exploited by King Ning and wrote the charter, he has been quiet for several days now.
When he opened the door and was about to walk outside, Zhou Yian ran in, but Zhou Heng was stunned.
"What's wrong, I'm in a panic?"
Zhou Yian's excitement was hard to hide.
"The young master's doorman heard a message saying that it was a great victory after sending a letter from Fujian!"
Zhou Heng was so happy that he seemed to be successful. No wonder Zhou Yian was so excited.
"Who will deliver the message?"
Zhou Yian grinned and quickly patted his head.
"Look at my memory, Eunuch Fang came in person, and asked you and Miss Xiu'er to enter the palace together. He said that His Majesty had invited you, and the palace sent a carriage to pick you up!"
Zhou Heng suddenly realized, and quickly pointed at Dongyuan and said:
"Go and call Xiu'er, don't go there yourself!"
Zhou Yian waved his hand, "I just met Chuntao and told her that you should change your clothes and go out!"
Zhou Heng saw that he was really dressed too casually, so he quickly went back to the room to change his clothes and quickly walked out with a white fox cloak.
When I arrived at the door, I happened to meet Xiu'er. It was rare that Xiu'er dressed up. She looked at Zhou Heng with the same style in her palace outfit and laughed.
"Xiu'er is so beautiful!"
Xiu'er gave him a blank look and her face turned slightly red.
"Don't mess around, I'm asking me to enter the palace for some reason?"
Zhou Heng blinked, and Yu Guang had already seen Fang Jizhong in front of the door and smiled mysteriously at Xiu'er.
"Such a big thing has been done. Your Majesty cannot reward anything. You will know when you arrive. I guess I will reward me as a wife!"
Xiu'er grabbed the soft flesh between Zhou Heng's ribs, her face was already red. Zhou Heng grinned in pain and quickly pointed to Fang Jizhong at the door.
"Eunuch Fang is waiting in a hurry. It's all my fault. Don't be angry and hurry up and enter the palace!"
Xiu'er then let go of her hand, tidyed up her clothes, and followed Zhou Heng out.
Fang Jizhong quickly came up with him. The smile on his face was so sweet that it made people feel a little unbearable. The carriage behind him was obviously specially made in the palace, and the luxury was a bit stunning.
"We have met my uncle and the lord of Qingping County. Please get in the car!"
"Hello Eunuch Fang, I don't know what's going on. I heard that news of the victory in Fujian has come?"
Fang Jizhong smiled so hard that he couldn't stop and nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, Fujian is a great victory. When you arrive in the palace later, your Majesty will naturally say, please get in the car!"
No nonsense, a few people got into the carriage, and soon the carriage came to the palace, and did not get off, and did not stop. They entered quickly. As the carriage stopped, Fang Jizhong personally opened the door.
"Brother and the county lord please get off the car, we're here!"
This was Zhou Heng's first experience of this treatment. He got off the car without saying anything. When he saw that he had come directly outside the East Warehouse, Zhou Heng blinked and quickly reached out to support Xiu'er.
Fang Jizhong led the way, and several people walked quickly to the door. Before they could enter, a little eunuch passed on. Then Fang Jizhong lifted the curtain and several people entered.
There were many people standing in the Donghunting Pavilion, including several central halls, King Ning, Duke Wei, and the third prince.
There is no charcoal brazier here, but it is very warm. Obviously there is something similar to a kang underneath. Because I feel the ground is very warm when I step on the ground, Zhou Heng and Liu Xiuer quickly stepped forward to greet me.
The old emperor waved his hand and smiled so hard.
"Get up, don't have so many vain gifts, you can say it to King Ning!"
King Ning was not polite, looked at Zhou Heng and said with a smile:
"This morning I received the 800-li military newspaper from Fujian, saying that the killing of Wen Changming had been successful, and Yang Weijun has taken control of the Fujian Provincial Administration.
As for Yingzhou, he sent the flying team directly to attack with a fire bomb. The troops they gathered were defeated and directly submitted a letter of surrender. He sent a military newspaper to wait for His Majesty to deal with it. Your plan is really amazing!”
Zhou Heng felt a little embarrassed on his face, and he couldn't stand it if he praised people in person.
"King Ning praised it, this is Yang Weijun's heroic courage!"
The old emperor raised his head and laughed, "Well, Humen has no dog son, and Duke Weiguo is well educated. Yang Weijun and Cangdeying are temporarily staying in Fujian, where the court is out of reach, and then they can only control it if they are capable.
I have read the charter for your cultural invasion, and I have discussed it with several ministers for a long time. You should choose the personnel. It is not limited to the people in the court. Any talent that can be used can be appointed."
Zhou Heng raised his head in surprise. The old emperor came out from the west of the sun and delegated power like this. But if he did this, let alone making trouble, if he made a gold or silver mine, wouldn’t he be rich?
"As for your order!"
The old emperor continued:
"Zhongyuan Bo is thoughtful and thoughtful, brave and resourceful, and is my reliance on Daliang and a guarantee for the peace and stability of the people on the border. Therefore, I want to promote you to the third-class Zhongyuan Hou, with a fief of ten thousand households, and his inheritance."
This sentence made Zhou Heng stunned, and he was a little unbelievable after blinking. It was less than half a year since he was Feng Zhongyuan Bo. How could he directly rise to this position? There were 10,000 households, but there were 700 households before, and the gap was a bit big.
King Ning coughed, interrupting Zhou Heng's stunnedness.
He quickly knelt down and thanked him. He was really moved at this time. Although he didn't know what fiefdoms meant, it was much more than seven hundred households anyway, and he didn't expect it as to be fiefdoms or something.
"I thank your Majesty for your grace!"
The old emperor smiled, and did not rush to ask Zhou Heng to get up, and glanced at Fang Jizhong.
"Don't rush to thank you, there is another imperial edict!"
Zhou Heng was a little confused and surprised a lot. Zhou Heng felt a little confident about the remaining imperial edict. He quickly knelt down and glanced at Liu Xiu'er. Xiu'er was well-behaved and knelt directly beside Zhou Heng.
At this time, Fang Jizhong happily unfolded an imperial edict:
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: The lord of Qingping County is virtuous, generous, gentle, kind and kind, and outstanding. The Empress Dowager and I are very happy to hear it. Now Zhongyuan is already in a weak year. When you are married, you should choose a virtuous daughter and a mate.
When the Qingping County Lord Liu, Xiu'er, was in the boudoir, and was built with Zhongyuan Hou. In order to make the beauty of a beautiful woman, Liu Xiu'er was specially betrothed by Zhongyuan Hou as his wife. All etiquettes were handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor to choose a good time to get married."
Zhou Heng kowtowed to the old emperor happily, and Xiu'er also bowed.
