Chapter 380 Yidu Trade Fair

Yidu Mansion, Yidu Old City.

The old city of Yidu, which was burned to ruins in the old year, still retains its appearance of ruins. It is even more decayed and desolate than when it was just burned. Many bricks and stones used on the city walls have been pulled away by the people, and the weeds that are more than one person tall have grown extremely lush.

Perhaps because of the long-term lack of people, this place soon became a paradise for animals. Pheasants and rabbits all settled down here.

However, in recent days, these animals have been forced to move out of their new homes. However, the arrival of a group of people has once again broken the desolation and tranquility here.

I saw milky white tents standing one after another, standing outside the original Yidu old city. Due to the excessive number, it stretched for several miles. A large number of soldiers in armor patrolled inside and outside the tent, representing the Ming Dynasty's flag standing at the highest point in the tent area. From a distance, you can see the sun and moon that belonged to the Ming Dynasty alone.

Many people who look very rich in dressing or look riding horses, or ride horses by themselves, come to the camp area from all directions along the specially built grassland. Behind them, there are a large number of carriages carrying a large number of commercial goods, constantly entering the interior.

Some of these people were merchants from the Ming Dynasty, and some of them were local tyrants who had defected to the Ming army on the east and west roads of Shandong. Some came from the Jin Dynasty, north of the Qing River, and the Song Dynasty. They all received news that in order to better facilitate the exchanges and trade of merchants from various countries, the king of the Ming Dynasty specially established a temporary venue in the original Yidu Old City. The invited merchants could bring good value to trade with merchants.

In response, the governments on the border of Ming Dynasty would implement special tax exemption policies. This temporary tariff exemption greatly promoted the trade enthusiasm of merchants, and therefore they all brought merchant goods to trade.

Those small and medium-sized merchants heard the sound of the wind and were even more moved by the sound, and they were unwilling to miss this hard-won opportunity.

And in such a trade atmosphere, Zhao Xun, the envoy of Song State, Wanyan Shouchun, the envoy of Jin State, and Li Dewang, the envoy of Xia State, all came to Yidu to meet Ulutus under the banner of caravans.

The reason why the place was chosen in this abandoned place was not for anything else, but that the Shandong Province will move all provincial government agencies here at the latest at the beginning of next year.

After all, Yidu has been the ruler center of Shandong for a long time. Although it is limited to Shandong East Road, the East and West Road is not complete because the Beiqing River becomes the boundary river. Let Yidu become the provincial capital, which is not only geographically easier to communicate with east, west, south, and north, but also has a certain enthusiasm at the political level.

Even though Yidu has been completely burned into a white land now, there is no shortage of refugees in the Central Plains. I believe that as long as there is a certain emphasis on Shandong Province in terms of immigration policies, more refugees will be placed in Yidu.

Soon, these wastelands that were originally plowed will be restored to the original scene of thousands of miles of fertile land.

Xiao Zhala, the new governor of Yidu Prefecture, followed Ulutus and respectfully reported to Ulutus his plan to build a new Yidu New City and restore the livelihood of the entire Yidu Prefecture.

As the only one of the three generals who surrendered voluntarily, Ulutus was not stingy with the rewards of his official position. Although he was only the prefect of a prefecture, he was the future provincial capital of Shandong Province, and his official position was half higher than that of ordinary prefectures.

But after this, I can no longer command troops!

Xiao Zhala knew how to advance and retreat very well, and did not resist at all. He handed over the command of the army in a regular manner. After the Ming army mixed sand and transferred from the local area, I believe that the personal attributes of this army will be wiped out soon in the future.

At the same time, in order to ensure that Xiao Zhala has no worries and can serve the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind. After communication and negotiation with the Khan Court, Xiao Zhala's family was allowed to leave the Khan Court's controlled area and enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Xiao Zhala's reunion with his family was destined to be short-lived. After some warmth, these people would definitely return to Shangjing with Ulutus. For such a provincial chief, he was also a surrendered minister. If his family was still left by his side, Ulutus would not be able to sleep.

In contrast, the captured Liu Heima did not have such a good ending!

Because he refused to surrender and was still in prison, he scolded Ulutus as a traitor. This made Ulutus not interested in such a bad knot and directly ordered people to kill them in front of these prisoners.

He also put his head into a pan and fryed it hard and hung it in the most conspicuous place for public display. This is not that Ulutus hated this brave general who had never met before, but that he killed the chicken to scare the monkeys so that the surrendered ministers who surrendered over would know the consequences of the opposition to the Ming Kingdom.

It also announced that the policy changes were changed to almost no killing any minister or surrender before, and that they would take it all for themselves.

It is also now that the territory of Ming Dynasty is larger and there are more people under it. After the successful holding of scientific research, it has successfully attracted a group of talented people. Even those military generals, after several war experiences, have more and more new faces have emerged.

Therefore, the situation like the previous situation where people who were extremely lack of usable use had to use surrendered ministers and generals could be changed.

Although Shi Tianze, who had to surrender, did not endure the same fate as Liu Heima, he was also the kind of person who was not quick and had insufficient sincerity. Therefore, although he was not killed, he was locked in prison, which became another negative case that warned the prisoners.

At that time, Ge Jing, the temporary governor of Shandong Province, was also standing next to Ulutus. In fact, Xiao Zhala originally wanted to come to him to discuss some official duties, but Ulutus happened to come and called the two of them together.

The major changes in the Shandong officialdom are disastrous for most Shandong officials! But for a small number of people, it is also an opportunity and a happy event. Not to mention Pu Chasijin, who has been quickly promoted to Shandong and Jiangnan provinces, and Ge Jing, who was temporarily acting as governor, was the one who was lucky in disguise.

According to the situation of the Dengzhou immigration camp, a local parent official like him should not be unaware of the situation. Therefore, according to the law, there should be a mistake of being insidious and not being reported. However, after verification by the Ministry of Justice, Ge Jing actually reported something.

However, when he arrived at Zaluhuchi in Shandong Province, he was pressed and ignored, so he was not considered to be insidious. In addition, when he was accepted for the resettlement camp in the later period, he was very appropriate in his work. With the contribution of the construction of Dengzhou, he was able to temporarily take over the position of governor of Shandong.

The formal appointment has been sent from the Privy Council. It’s just that I’m still on the way, and I think I can remove the word “temporary replacement” after a while.

Of course, there is also the reason why he is a local from Shandong.
