Just because you don't plan to make too many changes doesn't mean you won't make any changes.

In addition to the culprit who must die, this time Xu Muhe hopes to leave the heirs of Jiaozhi Xun under the age of 10, and after castration, they will be sent to the three major palaces to be the lowest eunuchs, so as to make up for the lack of manpower in the inner chamberlain.

Of course, among the ladies of Jiaozhi, 600 young and beautiful people should also be selected and distributed to the three palaces for use.

Based on Xu Muhe's experience, neither his son nor the cabinet should object to his request.

In fact, this practice is closer to the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, and the Ming Dynasty also likes to castrate the aristocratic boys of the enemy and put them in the palace as eunuchs to humiliate the other party.

"By the way, I heard that the pseudo-Empress Dowager Yilan has a stunning color, Xiaocao, have you been to see it?"

After talking around for a long time, Xu Muhe finally mentioned the topic he was most concerned about with a shy face.

However, it is a pity that Cao Shaoqin just shook his head:

"When the captives entered the city and paraded the streets, the slave maid went to see her, but it can be said that she is stunning, and the slave maid thinks it is exaggerated."

"After all, the woman is over thirty years old, and it is estimated that farmers who have never seen the world will think she is good-looking."

"It's not necessarily bad to be over thirty." Xu Muhe muttered.

Of course, Cao Shaoqin was loyal to the Xu family, and he had secretly helped the emperor to collect foreign beauties for tribute, and he also knew something about Xu Muhe's tastes.

Since he said so, it means that Yilan really can't enter the emperor's eyes.

"Since that's the case...... Xu Muhe thought for a while: "Sell that Yilan." The proceeds were sent to Qinzhou and Lianzhou, and she was treated as atonement. ”

……

In the end, it was Baba who moved from Lin'an to Xiaofanlou in Jinling who bought Yilan.

Originally, it was impossible for a woman of Yilan's age and this kind of appearance to enter Xiaofanlou, the world's top entertainment venue, to sell sex.

But who made her special, after all, she was the queen mother of a country, Xiaofanlou's old eagle thought that this woman's business would be very good, so he spent a lot of money to buy her, and together with some Jurchen and party nobles, she was specially used to receive guests with special tastes.

Moreover, the business is really good.

……

The demise of Cochin has brought a lot of benefits to the upper and lower levels of the empire:

The empire itself received a large number of slaves, wealth, and land.

The victims of Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Yongzhou were laid to rest.

The Tusi of Gui Province, which had moved a large number of people to Annam Province, could not support it, so they could only agree to change the land and return to the stream, and the actual area under the control of the empire expanded significantly.

In the future, the capital of Annam Province will produce a large amount of cheap grain and sugar, which is of great significance to stabilizing the country.

The land obtained by the Imperial Mansion can be produced annually so that the Imperial Family can become one of the few wealthy people in the empire without occupying the state treasury - and even the Inner Mansion can pay taxes on time and make due contributions to the imperial finances.

The emperor's palace was supplemented by chamberlains and palace maids, and Annam Province even reported that they had found more than 20 pieces of golden silk nanmu with the thickness of the two people, which could be transported to Jinling as materials for repairing the imperial palace.

There are also luxury goods such as spices, precious stones, gold, ivory, etc., which are unique to the tropics, and can be shipped back to the country to the satisfaction of the rich and noble of the empire.

And the prestige of the imperial army has been publicized again, after the demise of Jiaozhi, which was once a hegemon in the South Seas, other small countries in the South Seas will inevitably be frightened, and whether it is conquest or their tribute, the obstacles will be much smaller.

This is actually equivalent to giving the empire a bridgehead in the South Seas, within the deterrence of artillery and warships, merchants can move freely, sell their industrial goods at a high price, buy local raw materials at a low price, and they will make a lot of money.

Ordinary Dousheng small people can also get some benefits in it, such as cheaper Annan commodity grain, such as a large number of cheap female slaves can make more Han people get rid of their singles, such as going to Annan to seek a new ......future in life.

Uh, well, today's empire is full of opportunities, not to mention anything else, immigrants to Jiangbei or even the northwest will not be treated worse than going to Annam, so it doesn't really matter whether you go to Annam or not.

However, it is always good to have one more path and one more chance.

Even the alien slaves see new hope that some of them will become "superior slaves", managing the new hapless ones for their masters.

Up and down the empire, everyone has reaped the benefits of brilliant military victories, some of which can be seen now, while others will take time to unfold.

Through newspaper reports and analysis, and word of mouth among those who read and read, almost everyone in the empire was more or less aware of the importance of these benefits.

What's more, while reaping these benefits, the Empire did not seem to pay much - the casualties of the entire war did not exceed three thousand, the vast majority of which were losses from diseases and accidents, and the real battlefield casualties did not exceed five hundred.

There are many benefits, but they come at no cost.

Who would oppose expansion and war in such a situation?

In addition, with such brilliant achievements, Xu Shiyang and the imperial cabinet should make some drastic reforms, and the resistance should be smaller.

……

As we said earlier, the defeat of Cochin will benefit everyone up and down the empire.

This naturally includes the small court of the former Zhou Dynasty that is still in Lin'an.

As soon as January 1797 passed, the former Zhou concubine who recovered from his body, the privy envoy Xu Shisong personally rushed to Lin'an, and successively visited the mother and son of the little emperor, the former Zhou Prime Minister Wen Zhong and Bao Zheng.

The former Empress Dowager Yang of Zhou and the 9-year-old little emperor were in a state of panic at this time.

They saw the tragic end of the Jiaozhi royal family, which was destroyed by China at the same time - the queen mother became a concubine, and thousands of people rode thousands of pillows; The little emperor was also beheaded.

Although Cochin is a foreign race, and the empire has always had a good reputation for benevolence to its kind, but under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, they will inevitably have their own thoughts that they may have a similar fate.

Moreover, even if the Xu family doesn't want to do anything to the Zhao family, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will frame their orphans and widows in order to invite merit to the new dynasty.

Xu Shisong's arrival made the poor mother and son feel a little relieved.

As a first-class loyal minister of the previous dynasty, Xu Shisong suggested that the Empress Dowager Yang and the little emperor's mother and son take the remnants of the previous dynasty to build a country overseas.

He himself would follow, and Xu Shisong promised that he could get military, economic, and political support from the empire - with the current power of the empire, there would be no difficulty in supporting them to establish a new state outside the South Seas.

After the establishment of this country, as long as they do not oppose the mother country of China and feel at ease as a vassal state of China, the empire will not threaten their existence.

And the queen mother and the little emperor, in their own fiefdom, naturally do not have to worry about being framed.

"The passage to the south has been opened, and as long as we get out, we won't be a threat to our home today."

Xu Shisong's words were like a rain for Empress Yang and the little emperor, and they naturally agreed immediately.

Even, the little emperor assured that the new state would:

"Sacrifice by the widow, government by Aiqing!"
