Yang Chong's gift to the Hu people in the Northeast this time was a down jacket and a silk quilt, and when Yang Chong sent Yuan Hongzhao to give these two practices to Kou Jiuhui, Kou Jiuhui asked Yuan Hongzhao to pass a message to Yang Chong, admitting that his skills were not as good as others. Because duck feathers and silk used to make silk quilts were originally waste products to be thrown away, they were suddenly used as useful things, and solved the survival problem of nearly 10,000 mountains and Yue. Jiang Zuo's wealthy family's reaction was extremely keen, and after discovering that Kou Jiuhui had collected a large number of duck feathers and waste silk thrown outside, and opened one workshop after another, he immediately asked the head of the Gu family to come forward to negotiate with Kou Jiuhui, Kou Jiuhui showed Yang Chong's letter, and the two sides reached an agreement, and now the production volume in the first year is 130,000 down jackets and 20,000 silk quilts.

Tuli and others tried it on the spot, and the development of down jackets is indeed warm and does not change color, and the Sui people often stop in the northeast, just because of the cold, but Yang Chong, the demon, actually designed this kind of clothing, it can be said that the cold of the Lightning River can be completely resisted. Princess Huainan secretly tried the warmth of the silk quilt with her hands, and whispered: "Tuli, this quilt is indeed warm, even if there is no fire in the house, two quilts are enough, this Yang Chong is really powerful." ”

Yang Chong has already begun to speak: "These are the efforts of the people of Jiangnan for the construction of the Northeast, and they have a goal, striving to sell them in all parts of the Northeast within two years, so that compatriots of all ethnic groups can enjoy them." For the sake of the future of the Northeast, we will use the power of the government, the army, merchants, workshops, and the countryside to send supplies over, and the only thing we need is peace. ”

Princess Huainan said with a smile: "It turns out that in the eyes of King Yue, merchants and craftsmen are so important, are they ready to change the household registration level?" ”

What Yang Chong wanted to say was that scholars, merchants, craftsmen, peasants, and the army were the foundation of national strength, but after Princess Huainan said it, it became clear that Yang Chong's purpose was to turn all these five books into the same civilians. Wang Qi and others have a bit of a headache, Yang Chong's thinking is absolutely right, he has been successful over the years, but the most difficult of them is the scholar, in the Great Sui, most of the scholars still hope that they can soar and become noble.

Fortunately, Yang Chong still can't take care of the country, and the Turks and Goguryeo are the two tigers in front. At present, the peace between the Great Sui and the Turks is due to the fact that they each have opponents such as Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo, and they need to avoid contradictions in other aspects. But the combination of vertical and horizontal is always the theme of the competition for the world, when Kang Sheli was running in Zhuo County, Xue Yantuo's envoy also arrived in Zhuo County.

Xue Yantuo had already realized that if the Turks were allowed to continue to be replenished by the Great Sui, Xue Yantuo would be dragged down by his opponent sooner or later. However, Yang Chong was not interested in Xue Yantuo, and his attitude was very tough, and he asked the officials received by the Ministry of Rites to greet him in advance, and when he came to the court as a vassal state, he should not mention the matter of war with the Turks in public; They are all subject countries of the Great Sui, and when there is a conflict of interests, it is difficult for the Great Sui to say who is right and who is wrong, so for this reason, Xue Yantuo can be given 500 sets of iron armor.

Xue Yantuo's envoy Hun Jin Zhi was startled at that time, and they all said that the Central Plains was prosperous, seeing is believing, and a small official opened his mouth to be five hundred sets of armor, no wonder he heard that Tuli and Da Sui began to communicate, and the first time they met was five thousand sets of Mingguang armor. When I arrived at the banquet, I learned that each of the Khitan and Heishui Masters had 1,000 sets of iron armor, and the Bebu Ji each had 500 sets of leather armor; The Great Sui obtained nearly 40,000 sets of armor in the first battle, so he was very generous.

Xue Yantuo's envoy Hun Jinzhi listened to the gossip of the people above, and secretly asked the Khitan envoy Brother Gu beside him: "Isn't Da Sui afraid that we will bite back?" ”

Brother Gu looked at Hun Jin Zhe and said: "Goguryeo Houcheng lost 37,000 people in the first battle, how many of your troops can bite people back, haven't you fought with the Great Sui and won?" ”

Hun Jinzhen had nothing to say, and secretly scolded himself for having a bad brain, and gave a handle to the Khitan for nothing. The envoy of Murowei said with a smile: "King Yue said that he wanted to coexist in the northeast, but he didn't like tribes that came and went without a trace, he liked settled peoples, according to King Yue's meaning, he didn't need to bother too much." We, Murwei, want to be like the Khitan this time, and ask the king of Yue and the Tuli Khan to assign us an area to help us build a city. ”

Hun Jin Zhen understands why he can't raise the Turkic question, and the Great Sui is now coming to be practical, and he will only pay attention to what he can intervene. In the sound of music, the palace maids began to serve, today is the whole sheep feast, sixty-six dishes are all made of mutton,

The wine is Fenjiu and Hexi Daqu, the purity is very high, the officials of the Great Sui diligently persuaded each other, the envoys of the tribes drank freely, the only dissatisfaction was that there was no singing and dancing, Tuli couldn't help but shake his head. Yang Chong sat close to Tu Li, saw Tu Li's expression, and said with a smile: "There will be business later, take it easy." ”

Princess Huainan saluted Yang Chong with a glass of wine and asked, "Does King Yue have something to announce?" ”

Tuli has money, and now Princess Huainan is living very comfortably, that is, Queen Xiao sends people to ask for help when she has something; Yang Chong smiled and said: "I am ready to open up the two counties of Miyun and Qinbei, no matter which clan they are, they can go south to live." ”

The wine of the Turks suddenly woke up, the Turks were the closest to these two places, and the people were the most likely to run there, and the Turks hurriedly said: "King Yue, this is not good, according to our consultation, the Turks cannot go to these two counties." ”

It is no wonder that the nomads do not care about the shrinking of their territory, they are most concerned about the loss of population, and a tribe without children is a tribe with no future; Pei Ju said unhurriedly: "Khan, you are mistaken, you are Turkic. Due to historical reasons, ethnic groups such as the Khitan have always been subject states of both of us at the same time, so they cannot be included. ”

Tuli opened his mouth and didn't speak, Pei Ju really made sense, the Khitan would not listen to himself, the Khitan eight divisions, two were annexed by Yang Chong, and after one was annexed by Tuli, a large number of people and warriors fled, and there are now more than 20,000 people left in the Dahe Alliance, surviving in the areas demarcated by the Great Sui and the Turks, and it is as difficult to survive as the Xi people. It is precisely because of this lesson that Murwei and Heishui Deer took the initiative to change their strategy and directly attached to it, at least to ensure the integrity of the tribe, and because of the army, Heishui Deer obtained a piece of agricultural territory, which existed alone in the Heishui Governor's Mansion.

Tuli understood that what Yang Chong was going to announce was Mu Wei's plan. There are now five major tribes, 27 tribes, 30,000 households, and a population of more than 150,000, which is impossible to let go according to Yang Chong's style. At present, Murwei is attached to the Turks, and the Turkic faction has three Tutun officials in the Southern Murwei, the Northern Murwei, and the Great Murwei Consul General, but the Murwei has ties with the Great Sui and Goguryeo, especially with Goryeo, and has frequent economic exchanges, often exchanging local products from Goryeo for ironware.
