This time, not only the vassal state of Warat entered Beijing to pay tribute, but also more than 20 vassal states such as Goryeo, Ryukyu, Siam, and Annam.

Of course, among these feudal states, Warat is the strongest and the most ambitious, and wants to attack the Great Zhou all the time.

Because of this, Jinyiwei's monitoring of the little prince has also become the top priority.

After Han Xiao left the palace, Zhang Lingyang ordered someone to pass Xiaofuzi over.

During this period, Zhang Lingyang was actually very excited in his heart.

Not to mention the silver coins seized, the grains, grass, armor and equipment alone are an astronomical amount.

What's more, there are also properties with these ticket numbers in various parts of Dazhou, which is not a small amount.

It is better to say that once the Da Zhou Royal Bank opens, these confiscated properties will automatically become the semicolon of the Da Zhou Royal Bank.

As for the heavenly numerical grain and grass, Zhang Lingyang already had a plan in his heart, so he ordered someone to call Xiaofuzi.

After Xiaofuzi entered the palace, Zhang Lingyang ordered: "All the armor confiscated by the Jinyi Guard will be sold to the military department at half price. Come to think of it, Feng Zuoliang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, will not refuse. ”

When he commanded, Zhang Lingyang was proud in his heart.

After all, by selling armor to the Ministry of War, not only did he earn a lot of extra money, but the Ministry of War could also save a lot of money.

Proud in his heart, Zhang Lingyang instructed again: "As for those grains and grass, give Sun Dingzong, the general soldier of Xiang, leave some left, and then transport some to southern Henan, and all the rest will be transported to Yong and Liang." ”

Southern Henan suffered from floods this year, and it is conceivable that the people lack food.

Zhang Lingyang even heard that although Zhu Kaishan, the governor of southern Henan, had worked hard and lonely, with the arrival of winter, the grain prices in southern Henan inevitably fluctuated greatly.

In the affected areas in particular, food prices have skyrocketed, exceeding market prices by several times.

Some of the grain and grass transported to southern Henan were naturally to stabilize local grain prices.

As for why most of the grain and grass should be transported to Yong and Liang?

Naturally, it was Zhang Lingyang's decision after careful consideration.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting in the western frontier, and the grain and grass they need will naturally not be transported from the capital thousands of miles away.

It is also for this reason that after the military department obtained the silver allocated by the household department, it purchased grain and grass in Yong and Liang, which were relatively close to each other, and then transported them to western Xinjiang.

It was precisely because of this kind of comparison that Zhang Lingyang made this decision.

Thinking about it, if this batch of grain were sold to the military department at a price slightly lower than the market price, they would definitely actively approve of it.

Besides, the current Yong and Liang are no longer the fertile northwest of hundreds of years ago.

Whether it is Yongzhou or Liangzhou, the land there is now very barren, and the people are also very poor.

What's more, in the past two years, although Yong and Liang have supplied a large amount of grain and grass to Western Xinjiang, it is only enough.

In desperation, the military department transferred grain and grass from Sichuan and Shu to the northwest.

But Sichuan and Shu are mountainous, and the roads are extremely difficult to walk, not to mention, they are also responsible for the supply of grain and grass on the side of Zhang Guangzhi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Although Zhang Guangzhi ruled the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, these two provinces were the two most barren provinces in the Great Zhou, and the grain and grass were often insufficient, and they needed to be transferred from Sichuan and Shu.

It was precisely because of the above considerations that Zhang Lingyang decided to transport most of the grain and grass to Yong and Liang.

"And!"

Finally, Zhang Lingyang said: "After you go back, immediately instruct the people below to redecorate the shops with ticket numbers in Jinzhong, and start business after the Lantern Festival!" ”

"Slaves obey!" Xiao Fuzi replied, and hurriedly left the palace to get busy......

The next day, Zhang Lingyang had a rare return to the early dynasty.

In the early days, there was nothing important to discuss.

After all, with the Spring Festival approaching, no one can block the emperor.

I don't want to add to myself.

After discussing a few trivial matters, Zhang Lingyang announced the audience of several envoys of the Great Zhou Domain.

Among them, of course, the little prince of Warat, who has been in Beijing for many days.

In the usual novel scenes, some of the envoys of the vassal states, especially those from the northern grasslands, are mostly unruly when facing the Han monarchs and ministers.

Originally, Zhang Lingyang also thought so.

But those bridges only appear in the novel.

Facing Zhang Lingyang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, the little prince behaved politely, and his every move was in accordance with the rules.

This made Zhang Lingyang unable to find fault if he wanted to.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Lingyang guessed why the little prince was like this.

The little prince came to the Great Zhou to meet him, firstly, to investigate the situation of the Great Zhou government and the opposition, and secondly, to dispel the vigilance of the Great Zhou against Wara.

If the little prince behaves unruly at this moment, or is evil and lawless in the capital, it will naturally arouse the disgust of the Great Zhou monarchs and ministers, and then strengthen the vigilance of Wara.

After all, if the little prince has nothing to rely on, how can he be so arrogant?

The little prince is not a fool, how can he not understand the truth?

Therefore, after entering the territory of the capital, the little prince has been extremely low-key.

The same is true now.

There were even a few quarters of an hour when the little prince's limelight was overshadowed by the envoys of several other vassal states.

Because compared with the cattle and sheep on the little prince's gift list, Goryeo Guojin offered a thousand-year-old ginseng, and there were more than ten hundred-year-old ginseng, and Dongzhu even offered ten hundreds.

The tributes paid by other vassal states were also not far behind.

Burmese jade, Siamese ivory, Annam's spices, Ryukyu pearls, and so on, can be said to dazzle the human eye.

But the most striking of them all is the tribute of Little Warat.

Although the tribute offered by Warat seems to be very ordinary, it is just some cattle and sheep.

But in the eyes of Zhang Lingyang and the ministers of the Great Zhou, these cattle and sheep are much more precious than those pearl agate.

In particular, the 500 cows are even more precious.

500 cattle may not seem like much, but the average number of cattle in a county in Dazhou is only more than 200.

In this way, we can see how precious the 500 cattle that Warat paid tribute were.

After reading the gift list, Zhang Lingyang 'encouraged' a group of envoys from the vassal states, and ordered a banquet to be held that night to entertain the envoys of various countries.

Because the weather was cold and the queen was pregnant, it was naturally inconvenient to move, so Zhang Lingyang ordered Gao Guifei and Zheng Guifei to accompany her.

Whether it is Concubine Gao or Concubine Zheng, they are both extremely gorgeous women, but at such a banquet, they are just foils after all.

What's more, in the face of the two beautifully dressed women, the envoys of the feudal kingdoms below did not dare to look up, for fear of committing some taboos that should not be committed.

So after a banquet, Concubine Gao and Concubine Zheng really became two mascots, sitting there motionless.
