Hearing what He Luohui said, Zhai Sang knew that the matter of the caravan trade could not be hidden, so he said to He Luohui with a little embarrassment:

"Where can Chaganhot make such precious things! However, I'm afraid that there is a misunderstanding somewhere!

"Not long ago, Hari Zhula was promoted to a noble concubine in the Southern Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven of the Southern Dynasty gave Horqin a batch of things from the Southern Dynasty. So much for! ”

He Luohui and Ahadan saw that they had said this, but Beile Zaisang of the Horqin Left Banner still refused to admit that they had trade contacts with the Southern Dynasty, and the faces of both of them changed, and they stood in the big tent of Zaisang with gloomy faces and did not speak.

At this time, Jaisan thought for a while, and finally said: "However, if the Great Khan gives the Horqin Left Banner to act as an agent for the trade between the Dajin Kingdom and the Southern Dynasties, Benbeile will not dare to refuse!" ”

When He Luo heard this, he glanced at Ahadan and knew that the things assigned by his master had turned around.

Although Jaisan did not admit that he had already traded with the Southern Dynasties, he understood the intentions of Emperor Tiancong of the Dajin Kingdom.

At that moment, He Luohui looked at each other and nodded, and finally He Luohui continued to speak.

I only heard He Luo will say: "This is very good! So much better! The resumption of trade with the Southern Dynasties, now looking at the entire Dajin country, is indeed none other than the Horqin Left Banner! It has to be Lord Belle!

"If Lord Belle can facilitate this matter, and exchange the abundant things of the Dajin Kingdom for the things that the Dajin Kingdom is in short supply from the Southern Dynasty, the credit is even better than sending troops to fight! If there is such a feat, the status of the Horqin Left Banner in the Dajin Country is not as immovable as a mountain!? ”

In the next few days, the envoys sent by Huang Taiji, He Luohui and Ahdan, traveled to all corners of Chaganhot, and even visited all the Mongolian tribes around Chaganhot that belonged to the Horqin Left Banner, but they did not find the men and horses of the Southern Dynasty caravan.

On the contrary, in the big tents of Taiji, many leaders of the various departments of the Horqin Left Banner, I saw more things from the Southern Dynasties, such as glass mirrors that were far clearer than bronze mirrors and even the slightest detail, such as the extremely valuable crystal clear glassware in the Khan Palace in Shenyang City, and those precious tea leaves that were already very rare in Shenyang, the capital of the Dajin Kingdom, and so on.

Something like this can only come from within the border of the Southern Dynasties.

Like his master, Huang Taiji, He Luohui was not sure if the Horqin Left Banner had really traded with the Southern Dynasties.

But now, he is already very sure that if Jaisangbel, who has a relationship with the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, is willing to help the Dajin Kingdom, then the trade between the Horqin Left Banner and the Southern Dynasty will not be a problem.

However, what he didn't know was that he and Ahadan were ordered to come to Chaganhot with letters from Zhaisang's sister and daughter, and wanted to trade with the Southern Dynasties with the hands of the Horqin Left Banner, but the fact itself strengthened Zhaisang's determination to lead the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes to rely on the Ming Dynasty.

If Huang Taiji was still as decisive as in the past, and as soon as he heard that the Horqin Left Banner was suspected of betrayal, he immediately took action to dispose of Zhaisang and his Horqin Left Banner, such as going to the old land of the Jurchens in Haixi, or moving them to the area of Yuerhai (Bear Lake in Hulunbuir in later generations) to settle as a herd, so that they could get out of contact with the Saibei forces of the Ming Dynasty, then everything in the future would be a matter of Hugh.

With the current situation of the Zhaisang Division, he had no choice but to obey the arrangement.

But now Huang Taiji has long since lost his past decisiveness, and in this matter, he did not do so.

As a result of his failure to do so, the scheming Jaisambel soon realized that the Jurchens' rise seemed to have reached their peak, and that the peak of the Jurchens' greatest might had passed.

Moreover, Huang Taiji's attempt to reopen trade with the Southern Dynasties through his hand at least shows that the current Huang Taiji not only has no way to take the Ming Dynasty, but also has no way to take him, the Horqin Left Banner Baylor.

On the contrary, Huang Taiji still needs him to match him with Zaisang on the issue of trade, and even needs him to act as a full agent.

Could it be that the era of the rapid rise of the left-wing Mongol tribes belonging to him Horqin has come?

At the same time when Jaisangbel was in the city of Chaganhot, imagining that one day he would be able to realize his dream of unifying the four tribes of Horqin and dominating the steppes of Eastern Mongolia, his son-in-law, whom he had never met but brought him infinite hope, that is, the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also looked forward to a bright future for the Ming Dynasty to unify the four seas.

Starting from Tianjin Dagu, all the way to Zunhua Baiye City, the straight-line distance is not far, but only 400 miles.

However, it was these four hundred miles that Emperor Chongzhen's car driving team patrolled Beishan in a daze, and it took a total of ten days.

Contrary to everyone's original expectations, on the way north to Baiye City, Emperor Chongzhen did not just care about urging people and horses to move forward as he did when he went to Tianjin from Beijing.

Instead, he had to stay for a day or two to inspect places that he had never visited, or even did not want to go, even the two former governors of Zhili.

For example, when going north to Baiye City and passing through Yutian County, Emperor Chongzhen's car stayed at Yahongqiao in Yutian for two days, and Emperor Chongzhen also took a group of ministers and attachés to personally inspect a new steel smelter set up by the Ministry of Industry in the northeast of Yahongqiao.

Not far to the southeast of this place, is Tangshan in later generations, which is an excellent place for the establishment of coal and iron complexes in later generations.

Because under the ground here, there are not only thousands of miles of coal sea, but also many high-quality iron ores.

In addition to being rich in minerals such as coal and iron, this area is also rich in oil reserves.

No matter from any point of view, this place is a treasure that the current Emperor Chongzhen dreams of.

With the current technology of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, the oil resources in this place cannot, of course, be developed.

However, under the repeated prompts and guidance of Emperor Chongzhen, Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the Mining and Metallurgical Officials Department under the Ministry of Industry have raised manpower to excavate high-quality coal kilns and iron mines in many places between Baodi and Kaiping, and have successively set up the Shijiuwo Government-run Coal and Coke Plant of the Ministry of Industry and the Yahongqiao Government-run Iron Smelting Plant.

In addition to these government-run coal and iron factories and mines, many imperial relatives and families of the nobles of the capital also came one after another, and opened many small coal kilns and coke factories in Baodi, Yutian, Fengrun and other places.

Among them, there are many factories and mines invested by the emperor's relatives and relatives, and there are also shares held by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Baohe Company.

At present, these newly opened coal and iron factories and mines, although they are not comparable to the scale, output and quality of Baiye City.

But over time, this place will surely become another important coal and iron mining and smelting town in the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the Jingdong region.

On the way north to Baiye City, Emperor Chongzhen stayed in Fengrun for two days in addition to staying in Yutian for two days, during which he inspected the two cement factories and coke factories set up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Wangguanying and Huoshiying.

Of course, there is a reason why Emperor Chongzhen had to take the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Secretary of the Ministry of War to inspect this kind of place with his ministers:

First, it is his long-cherished wish to see the level of coal and iron smelting in this era.

Second, it is also necessary to declare to the whole world the determination of the emperor to attach importance to and encourage the coal and iron industry through the method of the Son of Heaven visiting the coal and iron mining field in person.

At the same time, it is also for the government and the opposition to see that Emperor Chongzhen's advocacy of the equality of the four people and the foundation of the four industries is not just talk.

Along the way, the roads were in poor condition with potholes, and the air pollution was also severe, and the smell of soot was choking everywhere.

The roads along which the car drove were covered with a layer of soot, in the ditches of the fields, and on top of the cottages.

It should be said that all the way from the sky to the ground is gray, foggy, and dirty.

But all of this, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, made him feel extremely cordial and down-to-earth.

The reason why he felt intimate was that it was a scene he was used to seeing in later generations.

The reason why I feel down-to-earth is because the great development of industry and mining is the real road to a strong country.

As for the pollution caused by coal mining, mining, charcoal burning, iron smelting, etc., in Gyeonggi at present, it is far from reaching the point where he needs to pay attention to it.

It is precisely because of this that Yutian County ordered the party to return alcohol and Fengrun County ordered Ren Guangyu not to be held accountable and punished because of the bumpy roads in the territory, the fireworks in the sky at night, and the poor reception of the county yamen.

On the contrary, these two county orders who were born in Jinshi during the Apocalypse were also praised by Emperor Chongzhen because of the prosperity of industry and mining in the territory, and there were no unemployed vagrants begging for food along the way, and they were all promoted to one level and continued to stay in office.

At noon on the 10th day of the third month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, after a long journey, Emperor Chongzhen set out from Tianjin to inspect the driving team of Baiye City, and finally appeared outside the east gate of Baiye City.
