Gu Yu, who adjusted the work and rest time, got up regularly at eight o'clock every day, took care of the palace affairs in the morning, and picked up the children to eat in the apse of the Yangxin Palace for lunch, so that the children's father had time to come over for a meal together, and accompany the children to take a nap for an hour after the meal. In the afternoon, he dealt with foreign affairs, the affairs of the royal property or the reception of the wife, and during the period, he also included the rude act of suddenly leaving the matter at hand and the guests in front of him to serve tea and water to the husband. Feed first to catch up on sleep, wake up by the children before dinner, and then eat together. After dinner, I played with the children for two hours, coaxed the children to sleep at eight o'clock, continued to work with my husband, and finished work at eleven o'clock in the evening, and basically could sleep before midnight.

Compared with the preschoolers who get up at five o'clock and her husband who clocks in to work, she, a housewife who sleeps almost ten hours, is really decadent and shy! But who made her the only favored queen of four children!

It's not that no one has the idea of beating the emperor, it's just that women outside can't enter the palace gate, the queen never summons her unmarried sister, and the palace maids who are not compiled by Kunning Palace can't even get to the Sikun Gate. If you want to secretly send a woman to the emperor, the next day will be hung up in a dignified place, Chrysostom Yuyan said that the daughter of a certain family is willing to fall into a concubine, let the hundred officials help matchmaking, so that you can move around with multiple in-laws in the future, don't let the dignified court officials visit the concubine and have to enter through the corner door of the colleague's house. A certain foreigner knelt on the ground, and immediately applied to be transferred out of the center afterwards, and went to the border to support the infrastructure construction of the motherland's great mountains and rivers. If you can't see how much the emperor hates the woman who climbs the dragon and the phoenix, then he is pure blind. The emperor made it clear that he didn't want other women, thinking that Taizong did his own thing back then, and the queen was the heir of a famous family, coupled with the unparalleled earning ability, the eldest princess with a high status and the prominent Protector Mansion, most of the relatives were officials at the border, and the grade was generally not high, which was really not much to blame.

It is a good thing for officials who are serious about their work to have such an emperor, there is no harem to pour energy, the eldest son is smart and healthy, and there are two small spare tires, which is really a rare piece of cleanliness. I gave it to a woman only after my brain was pumped!

***********************

Since the establishment of the Privy Council, Yuan Yi has consciously not let Gu Ci get in touch with too much military affairs, and she seems to have noticed it, and she consciously does not touch this piece, only focusing on the people's livelihood and economy, and will avoid the excerpts of the Privy Council when she helps classify and sort out the folds at night.

It took a long time for Huang Sang, who was funny and warm-hearted, to find out, and hurriedly hugged his daughter-in-law and explained, "Good baby, my brother doesn't want you, well, there are often some things in the military newspaper that are not very honorable." ”

Pre-war preparations are always indispensable for discord, assassination, espionage, bribery and other off-the-table means, sometimes more bloody than a head-to-head confrontation, he is afraid that the little girl will see the cranky and want to blame himself, on the other hand, he also feels that if she does not know, this kind of retribution that hurts people's lives can be borne by him alone. Of course, there is also a secret little worry, so many things on the dark side, will it affect her image in her mind......

"I know, I don't understand either."

Gu Ci believed that with Ye Ye, he would not let Da Yu really fall into an embattled predicament, and if there was something that needed to be known, Yuan Yi would ask her directly. For example, when she mentioned the Kang-Tibet Plateau before, she told him the concept of 'Fa Wei Tibet, Ma Yu Amdo, and Human Domain Kham', and pointed out that the most important Wei Tibet is divided into the former Tibet, the back Tibet, and the Ali region.

"The last time you said that Kangzang was very accurate, if it wasn't for the situation you said to deal with them, we wouldn't have been so smooth."

There are many Tibetan sects that integrate politics and religion, and the Sakya sect is a flower sect, which was once crowned the king of the Great Treasure in the Ding Dynasty, so that it can unify Tibet in the name of 'orthodoxy', as for whether it is the descendant of Princess Wencheng, it does not matter. The Gelug sect of the Yellow Sect is not involved in government affairs, and is respected by knowledge, which is the target of their key attacks. There are many scattered sects of the Kagyu sect of the White Sect, and there are no respected leaders of the Nyingma sect of the Red Sect, so they are not suitable. Combined with the little girl's memory of 'the former Tibetan lama, the latter Tibetan **', the strategy formulated by the Privy Council is to 'replace the flower with yellow, divide and rule'. The so-called divide and rule means that as many different nationalities, sects, regions and other elements as possible are kneaded together to avoid forming a new synergy within them. Raise the lama and ** in the same way, let the front and back continue to sit in meditation across the Nimu Valley, and then give Khampa, Amdo, and Ali Duo a few titles such as Hutu Ketu, Dharma King, Zhugu, Rinpoche, etc. As for the separation of church and government, that is the next step after the dissolution.

Gu Ci, who had his little tail cocked, pretended to be humble and said, "This, it's nothing." Our people don't go to the plateau easily, and the better the body, the more likely they are to have problems. Be sure to go up slowly, stay at one peak for seven or eight days and then go to another, not too high, within a kilometer. ”

"Didn't you have a hard time going?"

"I first went to Nyingchi to get used to it for half a month before I went to the Potala Palace in Lhasa, and I had to wear sunglasses, sunscreen and hydration, eat more offal, dairy products, vegetables and potatoes and other things, and bring eleutherococcus senticosus. Don't catch a cold, a small cold will kill you. ”

"It's all arranged to enter the list."

"I was afraid that there would be a big war when the beggars went south, so I made a refugee plan, and within ten days, the first batch of materials and supplies could be transported to Xining City."

"Take a look."

"Not necessarily."

Yuan Yi smiled and said nothing, planning to let Mingzhuang go directly to Yiqing for a while. If the beggars dare to go south, he will let the reputation of the Mughal tribe for tyrannical and indiscriminate killing spread throughout Eurasia.

***********************

In the early spring of the third year of Shenzong, several bad news spread to Shangjing.

The southern part of the Kang-Tibet Plateau has suffered a serious snowstorm this year, and the Amdo region has just experienced a small earthquake, and the Sakya regime is busy with the Xiongnu eyebrows, and the disaster relief is not effective, but it has not sent a lot of materials to supply the Xiongnu army, causing dissatisfaction among the Tibetan nobles and monks, and under the instigation of some pro-Han merchants, the Sakya and the Qian family behind it have been divided, and the respected Yellow Sect leader Ganden Tripa believes that under the rule of the Sakya Dharma King, the monks are lax, and their privileges are corrupted. This statement was recognized by most of the upper-class nobles in the Tibetan region, who suffered great losses due to the cutting off of the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Silk Road, and saw a large number of livestock dying, many serfs and herdsmen ran down to Tibet to survive, and some took advantage of the situation to secretly contact the Han people in order to ask Dayu to help them tide over the difficulties.

Jiangge of Hubei began to waver in the face of the pressure of the Bohai State, Agdi and Debuku were confronting him, and Hailin Cha led his troops to join the Zhenbei Army, bringing even worse news - the second largest fierce barbarian tribe of the Mengwu tribe was stationed in Kulun City, approaching Saiyin Mountain, coveting the area of Dazhi Lake, and colluding with the Bohai State between the white mountains and black waters, preparing to divide the west and north of the Hubei Province, and the Hubei Department was under the momentum of the two sides, and the internal division was more serious. At present, Gu Chong is ready to go to war, and is ready to meet the Hubu people who retreat south at Beiguan, to prevent the Bohai Navy from taking advantage of the weakness. Captain Zhong Nai's guard in Xingqing Town, depending on the situation, defend Xining, or respond to Beiguan. Zhai Jun also became a captain, and he was a guerrilla near Saiyin Mountain, spying on the reality of the Mengwu people.

The most astonishing bad news was that the beggar army escorted the Dunhuang envoys south from Jinwei Mountain, and went straight to Hami along the North Tianshan Mountain. Hami is dominated by the Wu'er people, not very far from Dunhuang, and there are many Han people, who accepted the jurisdiction of the Huns before half-pushing and half-pushing, and did not suffer from war. Although they were warned by the Han merchants that they understood the barbarism of the Mongols and did not want to open the door to receive guests, the Xiongnu guards stationed in the city were ordered to welcome the Mongol army and discuss with the leader of the beggar tribe, Gebule, to jointly invade Dayu in the east.

Despite the bosses' affection at the wine table, the Mugultures below had no intention of being polite and plundered the city's belongings and women. In order to avoid too much damage to themselves, the Huns took the initiative to invite several heads of ten thousand households to a banquet, and chose a Tianfang Sect restaurant that exclusively served Baili Spring and other spirits. When the wine was hot, the beggars, who rarely ate pork, coaxed a pig to be slaughtered and roasted by the cook, but the owner sternly refused, and the quarrel escalated into a fight, and the sword was unsheathed. A small Xiongnu official stepped forward to stop it, and was chopped up by the drunken and crazy Mugwu, and the two parties began to cut each other in a fit of anger, and few people in a restaurant got out alive. Gebuleb was happy that he could take a city without spending a single soldier, but after eating a meal, five of his men died, how could he bear it? Ordered to kill the Xiongnu defenders, only the guards were tortured, and decided to first rob the rich cities in the Turpan Basin for the winter, and then sit down with the Xiongnu to discuss the next step. In order to avoid worries, Gebul ordered the slaughter of the city for 20 days, except for the Han merchants who had evacuated in advance, the young men and young women who were captured as sandbag slaves, and there was almost no life in the city of Hami, where the fire was raging everywhere. This tragic news spread throughout the cities of the Western Regions by the Han merchants who fled all the way to Xining City, and the Xiongnu immediately entrenched themselves in Ruoqiang and sent troops to Gaochang.

Fortunately, all the good news came from the sea.

After 'comprehensive negotiations' with Sriwijaya and Johor, the Andong Navy successfully settled at the southern entrance of the Strait of Malacca, which the Empress named 'Longmen', and obtained a large piece of land on both sides of the strait as the exclusive port of Dayu to hold the strait. After the negotiations between Pochuk, Iberia, and Hongmaoyi and Chola 'by force', they were each assigned to Chittagong, Urishe, and Chennai as strongholds, and the big food ships could only dock at Ceylon or the west coast of Tianzhu in the future. The Polo Dynasty was pleased with this result and prepared to trade with each other through the Meitei and Dayu, who occupied the Pearl City area and were probably a tribe descended from the Central Plains.

When the military had not yet responded positively to the above situation, the queen made a move. Xie Qing took Xie Lian and a group of subordinates to quickly rush to Longmen City, where Ming Court was stationed, to set up the Royal Trading Company, and Xie Pang was stationed in the capital as his successor, and was in charge of the headquarters with Yiqing.

Gu Ce was appointed as the first prefect of the city of Beiyu in the state of Pi, and led a group of officials who voluntarily went to Daguang to establish a port, establish a trade and study trade, and at the same time carry out diplomatic activities with Siam, Chenla, Khmer and other countries. As the first governor of Bere, Chi Qiyu was in charge of the military activities on land throughout the Pi Kingdom, controlling the shores of the Doge Pass, liaising with the Meitai people to defend Pearl City, and setting up a guard post in Ledo (Namyola). It is not surprising that Thang Long City was served by Jia Peng as the prefect, but the Anton Navy led by Xia Bufan, the garrison in Annam, was the main stronghold in Saigon City, and the single return of the Anton Army, which also belonged to the Ming Dynasty, cooperated with the Ming Court to defend Longmen City and the entire Nanyang.

***********************

"This 'trading company' is a clever word."

"Trade, the city also; easy, in exchange with it; The public is the wealth of all; The driver means to operate. The empress, who was praised by the emperor, said coldly, "I'm going to make a big one now, so that foreign businessmen can standardize and play according to our rules." ”

"Love the concubine is coming quickly."

"First, what items, how much, and when to be delivered with foreign businessmen every year, the trading company shall formulate a plan, solicit suppliers in the country, organize the goods in a unified manner, and package them for sale. First, the cost is lower, and secondly, many small shops that do not have the capital to do maritime trade also have the opportunity to expand their popularity overseas, which can be regarded as helping them advertise. ”

"What about other merchants......"

"In addition to minerals, grain and horses and other resource industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, other industries must not easily open a precedent for monopoly."

Yuan Yi gave her a rewarding kiss and motioned for her to continue.

"The second is to let outside countries participate in the auction, which is divided into three parts: sixty percent, three percent, and one percent, and sixty percent of this part will be the one with the highest price according to the secret bidding method, and the one with the highest price will get the rest. If the auction is unsuccessful, it is better, let's sail directly, set our own price and sell it ourselves. ”

"This is a good idea!" If the foreign countries want to unite to lower prices, how much effort will it take to maintain their alliance, as long as one country wants to take the majority of a certain product, after knowing the bottom line of others, it can turn around and quote the highest price at any time, and it is easy to break this alliance.

"Thirdly, in order to restore the normal livelihood of people in countries such as Beibi and Annam, we can pre-order the types of food and materials needed in a targeted manner, and let them immediately start planting specific crops or engage in the development of mineral resources according to their regions." When the citizens of a country are serving Dayu, receiving salaries from Dayu, and most of the daily necessities are provided by Dayu, when learning Chinese characters and speaking Chinese, what reason do they have not to regard themselves as members of Han culture? Isn't that how the European powers came to be with so many dead colonies?

“…… That's what you've learned before?! The thirty-year-old handsome uncle exclaimed, hugged his daughter-in-law and nibbled on it.

"Yes, this is what Xiyi once did to China! They also smuggled longevity balm into the country, which plagued people for generations! The patriotic little indignant youth did not change his true colors, and he pouted with righteous indignation and counted the crimes of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army and the Japanese Invaders.

"Brother will help you get revenge."

“…… Uh, no, Xiyi here hasn't done anything bad to us for the time being. It is enough to remember that 'if you fall behind, you will be beaten,' and the people will be slaughtered at will for fun. ”

"Is there anything else good for your trading company?"

"Of course, the final bidding price of Waiyi can be used as a reference price for other maritime merchants, and it also lets them know which countries that have not been auctioned have greater demand, so that our own people will not have vicious internal competition." The sea trade market is so big, not to mention the trading companies, the whole country traders are concentrated and may not be able to occupy all of them, and they must cultivate the innovative consciousness of the businessmen, rather than copying or seizing the crooked ways of the mature market.

"What a great little baby, what reward do you want?" Yuan Yi looked at her radiant little appearance lovingly, her heart was itchy, and her big palm slowly rubbed up along her waist and legs.

“…… I'm not done! As the largest maritime merchant, we don't have to worry about encountering scammers when trading with foreign merchants, and other maritime merchants rely on us to do transactions, and we also have a guarantee of 'handing over money and delivering with one hand'. Someone who was still showing off didn't notice that the big bad wolf's mind was crooked, and counted with his fingers, "Uncle Qing also brought a lot of them this time, women, go, hope, they ......" The little beauty who was rubbed so soft that her whole body was panting and biting the big bad wolf's Adam's apple, climbing on his shoulders and sticking to each other, "Brother, are you rewarding yourself......"

The man who was completely wolfed didn't talk nonsense, he did it directly, and threw himself into the ground to pick up clothes and forage for food, and Little Red Riding Hood, who didn't have time to show off the 'mutual trade plan' and the 'export product list', wanted to refuse and rolled away with him.

***********************

The 'mutual trade plan' is to order special products from Southeast Asian countries, and this kind of thing is simply the best thing for foodies, such as fragrant rice and grain from Annam and Siam, ivory carving and wood from Chenla and Khmer, fruits from Malay and Johor, coal and palm oil from Java, Uzi steel from Tianzhu, jade and giant wood from Bei Cheng City, quartz, gold and silver from Dongying, etc. The corresponding 'export list' is to collect all kinds of printed silk fabrics, glass, porcelain, lacquerware, spices, essences, wine, pearls, furs, tea, etc. from China for export. The former can cooperate with the officials of Southeast Asia to govern more smoothly, cooperate more closely with the local royal family and nobles, and restore the people's livelihood and support the people as quickly as possible. The latter is to intervene in the world maritime trade with a tough attitude, reflecting the identity of the trading company as the spokesperson of the Yu Dynasty, not only to unify the maritime merchants to the outside world, but also to give the maritime merchants global protection with armed forces and economic means. If this routine works, it can also be implemented in a vast land territory in the future, or play dumping or something, and it is not bad to crack down on a disobedient foreign country.

All the royal industries have been mobilized, such as the logistics capacity of the post office, the grain store as the domestic sales channel of imported products, and the cloth merchants, treasure shops, and glaze factories that will be the main export forces in the future are all included in this system, which for a time made many sea merchants endanger themselves, for fear of being robbed of their jobs by the queen. However, after the trading company published the full text of the overseas announcement in the newspaper, it was stated that the supplier could sign up freely, and during the Qianqiu Festival, countries would be invited to bid in Longmen City, as long as the goods promised by the supplier were full and flawless, and there was no restriction on which country to trade with, and it could also be recommended by the trading company.

Everyone was completely relieved, and they were also taken aback by this big deal. In an era when information is not circulating and weather forecasts are not powerful, it takes courage and capital to operate such a large-scale transaction.

Gu Ci took out most of his small treasury, and the inner treasury also took half of it, of course, he was more worried about the problem of loss than anyone else, and every link had to consider and simulate how to avoid risks and stop losses. Receiving goods in the country, with 10% of the shares of the trading company as collateral, with 20% of the advance payment, you can save a lot of cash. After taking the goods, the inspection should be done to deal with the plan, and the unqualified products should be claimed by the supplier or cleared at a low price. How to avoid and dispose of the loss of transportation and storage must also be prepared. Under the accumulation of various costs, it is important to calculate the starting price and how to control the auction process. During this period, she asked for a rehearsal of the manpower and material resources to be mobilized, and the details of how to deal with various countries, and even deliberately took the time to 'guide' the interpreters of Honglu Temple how to use phonetics to reflect the pronunciation of the Xiyi alphabet, so as to edit the dictionary as soon as possible and cultivate and recruit more language talents. As a queen who doesn't like to socialize and takes the woman as an interview, she spent more than half a year polishing the whole process with Xie Qing and others, hoping that after Dayu's military power stunned all countries, the first appearance of economic strength on the world map will also be perfect. In the future, the resources integrated by the Royal Trading Company will not be limited to the country, but will become the largest hub for trade between the whole of Asia and other continents.

In the future, if the children and grandchildren no longer need to learn English and take the sixth-level exam, they must 'forget to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifice'!
