Chapter 124: Southwest, a newcomer to the royal family

What do you think of the Northland?

Several politicians immediately tensed their nerves, and Li Hongzhang said with a little caution: "Your Highness, your majesty thinks that Yi Xin has colluded with the Rakshasa people in the past two years, and sooner or later he will be a problem for his henchmen. ”

Li Xiaocun said lightly: "Hefei's words are wrong, if you don't say unification earlier, I will be the lifeblood of the northern country, and after three or five years, I am afraid that I will have to look at the eyes of the northern country." ”

Yuan Jiasan frowned and said, "I don't understand this?" What lifeline? What is in the hand of the Northland? ”

Li Xiaocun said coldly: "Resources, don't talk about anything else, just talk about coal, after three or five years, if there is no support from North Coal, I'm afraid our factories will be shut down, right?" Isn't that the lifeblood yet? Didn't you get someone choking your throat? ”

Although Li Xiaocun is a bit alarmist, it is also true that although there are coal mines in the Southern Dynasties, most of them are deep coal, and the current conditions are not easy to mine, and now the Southern Dynasties are still self-sufficient in coal, but they have also begun to purchase a large amount of northern coal, and then, the northern coal industry is booming.

According to the scale of economic development in the Southern Dynasties, the demand for coal doubled every year, and after a few years, it was really impossible to support the northern coal.

Yuan Jiasan's face was a little ugly, and he was obviously kicked to the short board, which showed that he had a dull sense of smell for the economy.

Li Hongzhang said: "The division must always be famous, and now that the paper and ink of the armistice and peace treaty have not yet dried, Britain, France, and the United States are just, and rashly breaking the treaty will inevitably fall into the hands of others." ”

Li Xiaocun said: "What's so difficult about this? There are many commercial disputes between the northern country and the merchants of the southern dynasties, and our Ministry of Commerce and Foreign Affairs should have worked for the benefit of the countrymen, and should not be cautious everywhere. ”

Yuan Jiasan said: "I am a Qing Dynasty that is benevolent and righteous in the world, and I am too evil to carry out military revolution with a provocative heart. ”

Li Xiaocun said coldly: "Yuan Gong is pedantic, he dominates the north and the south, and everyone expects it, but there are tens of millions of displaced people in the north, and when they hear Yuan Gong's words, I am afraid that they will be cold." ”

Ye Zhao tasted the tea, listening to Li Xiaocun, Li Hongzhang, and Yuan Jiasan facing Mai Mang, in fact, the situation in the court was extremely delicate, let's talk about the name of the southern country, Li Xiaocun, Li Hongzhang, and Li Jianchen all called themselves the Southern Dynasty, and Yuan Jiasan was a mouthful of the Qing Dynasty, thinking that the Southern Dynasty was the Great Qing Dynasty.

Li Hongzhang is more than calm and enterprising, Yuan Jiasan is painstakingly managing his post-party circle, Li Xiaocun is too westernized, and his usual behavior is less tactful, not only is he incompatible with Li Hongzhang, but he has also become an opponent with Yuan Jiasan.

Tasting the tea, Ye Zhao also sighed in his heart, but he thought about it, did he really expect them to have someone who was in line with his own heart?

Ye Zhao put down the teacup, and when he heard the slight crisp sound, several councilors were silent.

"The reunification of the North and the South is imperative, and next year's budget will be totaled again, and a special war appropriation will be prepared, and it is useless to issue more national bonds, but all this must be kept secret."

"Yes!" The council bowed down, no matter how much they quarreled, but when the regent made a decision, no minister of parliament had the courage to refute it to his face.

…… On the eve of the New Year, Ye Zhao was stunned by a telegram sent from Yunnan, which was sent by Feng Zicai, the chief officer of the Yunnan Patrol, saying that the representative of the Tibetan Provincial Regency Rezhen Living Buddha, Duojiala, had arrived in Yunnan and had a difficult and dangerous journey, and it was said that most of the team of hundreds of people had died in the jungle.

It is no wonder that at present, the western part of Yunnan and the northwest of Sichuan and eastern Tibet are bordered, the forces are intricate, bandits are rampant, and the delegation of the living Buddha of the regent of Tibetan Province came to the Southern Dynasty to avoid the Qing army in Sichuan, and the road is unknown, so it is not easy to reach Yunnan.

At present, the political, military, and foreign affairs of Tibet Province are subject to the "Regulations on the Aftermath of Tibet" during the Qianlong period.

In terms of political affairs, the minister of Yanjing Province in Tibet supervises the affairs of Tibet, and his status is equal to that of [***] and the Panchen Lama. The appointment and dismissal of Kalun and Daiben shall be prepared by the Minister in Tibet in conjunction with the [***] Lama and submitted to the Emperor of China for his selection.

Kalun and Daiben are monks and lay officials in Tibetan Province, and cooperate with the ministers stationed in Tibet, [***], and the Panchen Lama to handle the political affairs of Tibetan Province.

Among them, the former Tibetan affairs, the minister in Tibet and [***], and the post-Tibetan affairs, the minister in Tibet and the Panchen Lama.

In terms of religious supervision, the identification of spirit children must be recognized by the Minister in Tibet and reported to Yanjing for formal approval.

In terms of military affairs, there are 3,000 regular troops, 1,000 stationed in Tibet in the front and rear, and 500 in Gyantse and Dingshuo, and the soldiers are recruited from all over Tibet. The army's rations and salaries are prepared by the local government and handed over to the ministers stationed in Tibet to be distributed in spring and autumn. The ammunition needed by the army was to be manufactured and distributed by the Kashag with the official documents of the Yamen of the Minister stationed in Tibet.

In terms of justice, the ultimate power belongs to the Minister in Tibet, which can only be handled when it is submitted to the Yamen of the Minister in Tibet or submitted to the Minister in Tibet for approval. Han officials, Kalons, and Zongbens in various localities can report to the ministers stationed in Tibet for investigation if they rely on their power to encroach on other people's property for no reason, or to oppress or exploit the people.

In foreign affairs, power is centralized in the central government, and all the power to negotiate foreign affairs in Tibet is under the responsibility of the minister stationed in Tibet. Local and foreign documents in Tibetan Province must be handled through consultation with the Minister in Tibet.

It can be seen from the judicial power and foreign affairs power that Tibet Province was already a part of the Qing Dynasty at this time, and Yanjing Zhengaxe exercised full sovereignty in Tibet Province, and was no longer a vassal state of the previous dynasty.

In the past few decades, because [***] and the Panchen Lama often died young, it was the Yanjing Central Political Axe that has been appointing the regent of the Living Buddha in Tibetan Province to assist the minister in handling the affairs of Tibetan Province.

Now the 8th Panchen Lama and the 12th [***] are both young, and the living Buddha of the regent is the 3rd Rezhen Living Buddha Ngawang Yeshe? Chuchen Gyaltsen.

A few years ago, the Living Buddha of Rechen and the "Kalon" Shazha and Wangchuk Jiebo accused the Living Buddha of not abiding by the rules, and the Minister in Tibet sent the Living Buddha to Tsongkha in Tibet for supervision, and then the Shah Dynasty (Nepal) with the support of the British invaded Tibet, and when the Central Plains political axe was exterminating the Taiping Army and the conflict between the North and the South, no one cared about Tibetan Province, and the trade agreement signed between the Minister in Tibet and the Nepalese damaged the interests of Tibetan Province to a certain extent.

As a result, a conflict broke out between the Living Buddha of Rechen and the "Kalon" Shazha, and Xiazha conspired with some upper-level monks of Ganden Monastery and Drepung Monastery to incite the monks of the two monasteries to launch a riot under the pretext of some problems of almsgiving alms, and the Minister Manqing in Tibet supported Xiazha, and the Living Buddha felt deeply threatened and became in contact with the Southern Dynasty.

Feng Zicai's telegram also attached a letter written by Rezhen Living Buddha to the "Great Emperor of the Southern Dynasty", obviously the Tibetan province did not know much about the situation in the Southern Dynasties, but only knew that the Central Plains Dynasty was in dispute, and it was the Southern Dynasty that won one after another.

Feng Zicai honestly and unceremoniously defaulted to the letter to the "Great Emperor of the Southern Dynasty" as a plea to the regent.

In the letter, the Living Buddha asked the emperor of the Southern Dynasty to send troops to relieve the difficulty, and said that the Tibetan soldiers would inevitably respond and drive the northern rebellion out of Tibet. At the same time, he implored the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty to order the rebellious Shah Dynasty (Nepal) to re-sign a trade agreement with Tibetan Province.

Attached to the rebellion, it naturally refers to the fact that Nepal is still a tributary state of the Northern Dynasty.

In fact, over the years, the intelligence and internal affairs offices of the southwestern countries have collected a lot, and with this unfamiliar area, the fog in front of Ye Zhao's eyes gradually unraveled.

Sixty years ago, the British East India Company launched a war of aggression against Nepal, but it fought in the mountains and fought extremely fiercely, and the firearms were not as developed as they are today.

The British immediately gave up their intention to continue the conquest, and after signing a treaty that allowed the Nepalese to cede large tracts of land to India, they began to support the Nepalese magnates as agents in order to better control the country.

The current Prime Minister of Nepal, Chungga? Bahadur? Rana is a scholar supported by the British, who launched a coup d'Γ©tat fifteen years ago, killing more than 400 prime ministers, generals, and ministers, proclaiming himself prime minister, deposing the previous king, and supporting a puppet king himself, which also opened the century-old rule of the Rana family, a hereditary prime minister's family, over Nepal.

Zhongge? Bahadur? A few years ago, during the Indian uprising, Chung Ge sent 15,000 soldiers to help the British put down the rebellion, and made great achievements for the British to suppress the Indian uprising.

The British won the war with Nepal dismally, and were very shocked by the courage of the Nepalese Gurkhas, and since then they have recruited Gurkha mercenaries every year, and the Gurkha mercenaries are the most effective among the overseas mercenary groups of the British Empire.

Nepal also built factories and made firearms under the leadership of Chungge, and provoked disputes with Houzang several times, which can be described as ambitious.

In the letter, the Living Buddha asked the emperor of the Southern Dynasty to reconcile the contradictions between Sikkim and the British, and curb the ambition of the British to occupy Sikkim territory again and again.

Seeing this, Ye Zhao's eyes flashed.

Throughout the history of the British colonizers in the Indian subcontinent, it can be said that the British political axe in London was more cautious than the British and Indian political axe, and the British officials in Calcutta were more cautious than the colonial officials stationed in various places. The farther away from command and restraint became, the more adventurous British officials tended to become.

The annexation of Sikkim was in fact carried out by local colonial officials in India.

Tibet Province has always been the suzerainty of Sikkim, although Tibet Province was incorporated into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Sikkim's tribute to Lhasa has never been interrupted, and it is natural that it has become a protectorate of the Central Plains Dynasty.

For the British, if the passage from Darjeeling in Sikkim to Yadong on the Tibetan border was opened, the British would be able to import goods from Calcutta all the way into Tibetan provinces without having to go through entrepot trade. In addition, Darjeeling's cool climate made it an ideal summer resort for the British colonists who suffered from the scorching heat of South Asia, and it also had all the conditions for growing tea.

Ye Zhao also knows the important position of Sikkim, the rise of Sikkim tea and the decline of Chinese tea.

Looking at this letter, Ye Zhao wrote on the envelope, "Li Jianchen, Li Xiaocun and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have forwarded it, and Sikkim matters can be discussed with the British." ”

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Southern Dynasty considered itself to be a great Qing Dynasty, and it was understandable to talk about the foreign affairs of the southwestern vassal states, at least to make the British more worried, and not to go too fast in South Asia, which could also give the Southern Dynasty more buffer time.

In the draft, the three countries agreed on the freedom of trade in the South Seas, China upheld the right of commerce and trade of all countries in most of Borneo except the Kingdom of Brunei, and China set up the Yamen of the Governor of Nanyang in Pontianak to temporarily manage the affairs of the South Seas.

In the case that the Dutch promised to treat the Chinese well, China recognized the provisional jurisdiction of the Netherlands over Sumatra, Java and other islands.

The British obtained the right to use the ports of Brunei and Annam Phan Thiet, which was of great significance for maintaining the smooth flow of the golden sea lane.

The three countries also jointly declared that they would help the indigenous people of the East Indies to establish "civilized nations" when they developed to the point where they were recognized.

This article must be added by the Chinese, but also the regent instructions, Ye Zhao knows, the colony can not be forever prosperous, the national reading movement will rise sooner or later, now adding such a clause, for the future generations of China in the South Seas to continue to exercise influence is very good, in fact, as long as the governance is lawful, many colonial countries even if they obtain the status of reading power, they will be grateful to the suzerain.

Because of the letter from the Living Buddha, Ye Zhao convened the public council in the afternoon, and at the meeting, there was another round of rhetoric, and finally it was agreed that Zhao Sanbao would go to Guizhou and send patrol battalions from all over the country to form an infantry regiment for the Western Expedition, so as to prepare for the attack on Sichuan.

The fourth town is the same as the fifth town for the time being, and it is controlled by Su Hongniang.

First, the wanton mobilization of troops and horses can easily arouse the vigilance of the Southern Dynasties, and second, if there is a war with the northern country, in addition to the surprise attack and landing, the main battlefield will inevitably be the Central Plains of Jiangbei, and it will be the most ideal situation to maintain superior forces in the main battlefield and defeat the new army of the northern country like lightning, and the northern country will be chaotic without a fight.

Only then did the council know that the regent had made up his mind about the war in the north, and now he was only waiting for the right time, and now, he could only assist the prince to prepare for the war with all his might.

As for Sikkim's dealings with the British, etc., I am afraid that it is just a false shot, and the neutral attitude of the British in exchange for this pressure should at least prevent the British from directly interfering in the political affairs of the Southern Dynasties.

Perhaps, Sikkim was the weight of the regent's sacrifice in exchange for the British's promise of non-interference.

Of course, these are all speculations in the stomachs of the councilors, and they don't understand what the regent thinks.

…… After the government was dispersed, Ye Zhao found that the entire palace was clear, wasn't it? It's almost the Chinese New Year, Rong'er goes to Guangzhou, and Sava and Hua Ji follow, Sava goes to see her mother, and Hua Ji goes to visit her grandmother.

Shawa's mother is not a peaceful master, and it must be difficult to teach her to stay in Jinling obediently, but Hua Ji's grandmother, Ye Zhao has already asked Hua Ji to take care of her, and Hua Ji timidly agreed, at that time, her big eyes flashed with joy, and she was more bold to take the initiative to kiss Ye Zhao.

At that time, when Ye Zhao was lying on the big bed with Hua Ji and Shawa, every time he was made soft by these two girls, this time it was no exception, through Hua Ji's gratitude to himself, Ye Zhao was even more brazen and asked the two to eat popsicles together, looking at the delicate and tender little face and the blue-eyed beauty with a deep surname and a tall nose bridge Naughty and naughty together, Ye Zhao's bones were numb, and his heart was filled with infinite pity, the emotional satisfaction far exceeded the pleasure of the silver mess, and finally, But he picked up the two of them one by one, kissed them lovingly, told them stories, and coaxed them to sleep.

Thinking about it now, Ye Zhao smiled even more, it was really a painful two little girls.

Rong'er went to Guangzhou, but she was burdened with Ye Zhao's expectations, and Ye Zhao told her to invite the two palaces to Jinling for the New Year no matter what.

Since he has decided to usurp the country, how to abolish the little brother has become a difficult problem that has to be faced, and if he can get the support of the two palaces, the little brother will automatically give in, then the resistance will be much smaller, and some officials who are not easy to grasp will have no backbone to oppose themselves.

It seems that it is imminent to launch a family offensive against the two houses as soon as possible, and it is not good to go out and walk around the two houses more and have more social activities?

Thinking about these things, Ye Zhao returned to Chengxin Garden.

Entering the courtyard, Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, and there was a familiar soft laughter like silver bells in the inner courtyard, it was the laughter of Jin Feng, Ye Zhao quickly stepped into the inner courtyard, but no, next to the red pillar corridor in the courtyard, Jin Feng was talking to Wei Yue Iori.

Jin Feng wears a rose-red embroidered lace cheongsam, red high-heeled leather shoes, light-colored cotton stockings, ten thousand styles, and Weiyue Yiori Station together, cheongsam beauty and kimono beauty compete for beauty, a charming surname, a demure temperament, which is really pleasing to the eye.

Ye Zhao smiled: "You're not cold?" ”

Jin Feng said: "Isn't this waiting for the master?" Master, come, I'll take you to a place, and the moon girl will come too. ”

Ye Zhao said: "Where are you going?" But it was arranged by Jin Feng, and the three of them got on the three sedan chairs, in fact, Ye Zhao felt strange every time he sat on the sedan chair carried by the maidservant, but fortunately, the sedan chair maid was tall and strong, which made people feel calmer.

Crossing the bridge and crossing the garden, Ye Zhao opened the sedan curtain to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside, the golden and solemn palaces and pavilions, the elegance of the clear water and green wood, and sighed even more in his heart, the palace is really too big, just himself, there are still some places that have not been there.

Walking all the way north and turning westward, Ye Zhao found that the tall palace wall actually had a side door, and he was surprised in his heart, isn't it a ditch outside? When did there be a side door?

Out of the palace gate, it is a stone bridge again, and you can even feel the light sound of flowing water under the bridge, and there are high walls on both sides, as if you are walking a line of sky, and you can only see the white clouds on your head.

After walking two steps, there was a mahogany door in front of him, and the female guards on both sides pushed the door open, and the sedan chair rushed in.

Looking out from the sedan curtain, Ye Zhao is stunned, this whole courtyard of this style seems to cover a wide area, with layers of wide and continuous cedar roofs, fish pond rockeries, bamboo tube clear water, and exotic style.

"When was this built?" Ye Zhao looked around.

Jin Feng walked over with a smile and said, "It's been a year, no, it's just been built, it's ventilated, and it's okay to live in now." ”

"What are you doing with such a thing? Nondescript. Ye Zhao reprimanded, in fact, the courtyard is a reading structure, surrounded by various buildings in Beiting Lane, and the house is hidden in it, which adds a bit of tranquility to the alley.

Pinching the time, the construction of this courtyard began at the end of the palace project.

Jin Feng smiled and said: "Originally, at that time, I heard that someone proposed that the lord marry the princess, so I discussed with my sister, and my sister also agreed, and built this house, so as not to let the little princess come and not get used to it, who knows that the lord doesn't have this mind, but it's good, if you are homesick in the future, you will come here to live for a few days, and it will save her a little homesickness." ”

Jiao smiled again: "I have scavenged a lot of treasures, just say the bamboo pole." Jin Feng pointed to the bamboo tube with a drop of water and said, "I heard that this is a famous man, but there are allusions, but we can't remember the little of the little man." ”

Ye Zhao smiled, it's good to think about it, maybe it will become a museum or something in the future, I don't know which generation of my descendants will donate it.

"Yue Gege, do you like it?" Jin Feng smiled and asked Wei Yue Iori.

Wei Yue Iori snorted, looked at the scenery in the garden quietly, and said, "Thank you, Third Lady." He thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Ye Zhao pointed to the front yard and said, "Outside is Beiting Lane?" ”

Jin Feng smiled: "Yes, it's convenient to go out from here, but no one would have thought that this house would lead to the palace." ”

Ye Zhao immediately became interested and said, "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

Outside the house is a rather spacious stone road, go forward and then go a street entrance, is the big road that runs through the north and south of Nanjing City, Jinling Road takes the Qianwangfu as the center, southeast to the Tongji Gate garrison city edge, out of the Wangfu westward north folds through the Beiting Lane, goes around the foot of the chicken coop mountain, passes the drum tower, and then follows the old stone road out of Yifeng Gate to Xiaguan. The width of the road is six to nine meters, the total length is 9 kilometers, it is the first trunk road that runs through the north and south of the city, and it is also the road that the Southern Dynasty just occupied Jinling, which has already been completed, most of them are stone paved roads, and rickshaws and carriages can be used.

In Beiting Lane, there are many yamen, not only there are several small yamen such as the Suwan Salt Transportation Division, the Nanjing Salt Transportation Division, and the Nanjing Inspection Division, but also the large ministries such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In addition, most of the people living in the alley are rich families, naturally because this place is close to the palace, from the security to the environment is excellent, and the rich families also prefer to live here to touch the dragon spirit of the regent.

In the past, the north of the city was overgrown with weeds, bandits lurking, murders and robberies, all occurred one after another, and it was quite inconvenient for business contacts and local officials to inspect them, but the completion of the Jinling Highway, coupled with the improvement of the patrol force of the Southern Dynasties, and the increase of immigrants, now the public security of Nanjing City has been fundamentally improved.

The area around Beiting Lane is gradually new, because of the gathering of vigorous officials here, whether it is pedestrian clothing or style, this is the most open-minded place in Nanjing, and rickshaws also like to go around in this area.

And because there are many new salary classes, a lot of restaurants have emerged in Beiting Lane, also known as "Bao Rice Zuo", each person has five jiao or a silver dollar per month, and you can go to "Bao Rice Zuo" to enjoy three meals every day, according to the monthly money, the meals are different, one yuan rice, one meat and one vegetable and one soup at noon, but it is extremely affordable, attracting many single officials.

Ye Zhao walked around outside, looking at the bustling flow of people on the street, all kinds of clothes, these tight strings slowly relaxed, the dark and sturdy workers with sweat towels around their necks, the clerks who led the beautiful wives to ride the rickshaw together, the young students in the teahouse who were talking about state affairs, everything was so energetic. Ye Zhao's mood immediately became cheerful.

Back to the "No. 14" mansion in Beiting Lane, in the dining room, Jin Feng and Wei Yue Iori are waiting for him, there are a few light sashimi on the bamboo and wooden table, among which salmon sashimi Ye Zhao likes it more, big fish and big meat are tired of eating, and eating some light sashimi will feel delicious and delicious.

Jin Feng and Wei Yue Iori knelt on the side of the table, and Ye Zhao smiled when he saw it, "I'm just cross-legged, it's really uncomfortable to sit on my knees." "That's right, but women, whether in kimono or cheongsam, kneel and sit in a dignified and elegant posture, let alone such two beautiful and dazzling women.

"Iori, you should like to eat." Ye Zhao smiled and sandwiched a piece of salmon for Wei Yue Iori.

"Thank you, sir." Before Iori picked up the chopsticks, she folded her hands together as usual, and said a few words to the table full of food, as if she was grateful, I started to eat you or something.

Jin Feng looked at her, with a hint of envy in her eyes, there is no doubt that this beautiful girl, every move is so fresh, exotic style is coming, in the future, I don't know how much love I will take away.

As a woman, she only married Ye Zhao, she always felt a little inferior in her heart, whenever she saw these bright or cute girls around Ye Zhao, she would feel inferior to others.

Ye Zhao looked at Jin Feng and smiled: "Are the legs wooden?" ”

Jin Feng shook his head lightly, collected his complicated thoughts, smiled, and said, "Eat this dish, of course, you have to eat it like this to be authentic." ”

As he spoke, there was a unique sad and beautiful music of the shamisen outside, and there were women playing and singing, and the singing voice was soothing and vicissitudes, which was extraordinary.

Ye Zhao looked at Jin Feng and smiled, saying in his heart that if this was to be in the future generations, he would definitely be scolded for cultural aggression, but now, there is no pressure at all, and he appreciates it quietly, which really has a flavor that tugs at the heartstrings.

"Ah, it's Inoue-sensei." Iori was stunned for a moment, and she could hear that it was the teacher Inoue who taught her the shamisen, the most famous pianist in the country, and the royal musician, who had only taught her for three months, and she had benefited a lot.

But Wei Yue Iori did not move, came to China, she also knew a lot of Chinese rules, Mr. is the most powerful person in China, no matter who is playing the piano outside, she can only follow him quietly and appreciate.

Listening to the vicissitudes of the music and chewing the sashimi in his mouth, Ye Zhao nodded lightly, but felt that it had the effect of cultivating feelings.

No matter what Ye Zhao does now, she won't be surprised, just like eating sashimi in China, soy sauce and wasabi are different from Yumoto, but they obviously match the deliciousness of sashimi.

She didn't know that all kinds of sashimi were made up by Ye Zhao a few years ago, but in the past two years, she has been busy with political affairs, and she hasn't worked eating, drinking, and wearing for a long time.

The three of them didn't eat much, and after the two pieces of music were finished, seeing that Jin Feng and Wei Yue Iori didn't eat much, Ye Zhao put down the chopsticks at this time, and was just to accompany them to eat, if they dropped the chopsticks first, they wouldn't eat again if they didn't eat well.

Jin Feng clapped his hands, and then the sliding door of the pasted paper was opened, and more than a dozen kimono maids entered in turn with copper basins, towels and mouthwash, and knelt in front of the three people in three teams, and sent mouthwash, spit small copper basins, silver basins for washing hands, towels and other things in turn.

Ye Zhao had long been accustomed to this kind of luxury, Wei Yue Iori watched Jin Feng make a pie, slowly learning various sequences and various utensils and usage, Jin Feng envied her, but how could she not feel pressure in front of this noble and beautiful Chinese woman?

This is the Chinese mother, Wei Yue Iori told herself, you can't be rude in front of her, you lose face, it's the gentleman who loses face, and the gentleman bought herself, isn't it?

"Hey, you're from Fuso?" Ye Zhao looked at the little maid in front of him in surprise, although they were all wearing kimonos, but Ye Zhao thought that Jin Feng asked them to wear them to suit the occasion, who knew that the silver basin in the hand of the little maid just now almost spilled water, and exclaimed in surprise.

The little maid was already so frightened that her face turned white, and she knelt there, "thinking about Marseille".

Iori Reedsuki was even more surprised to stare at the clear and charming eyes.

Ye Zhao smiled and said to her: "Look, Jin Feng loves you so much, you won't be afraid that no one will talk to you in the future." ”

Wei Yue Iori knelt down and moved a few steps, and said crisply: "Thank you very much, Third Lady!" ”

Jin Feng hurriedly pulled her up and said with a smile: "This is just a sign of gratitude in your country, but it is a very grand etiquette in our China, and if you want to do this ceremony, you can only do it to your husband." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "It's okay, it's better to follow her own etiquette." Iori, tell these little girls that it's okay, tell them to go down. ”

Wei Yue Yiori said a few words to those little maids in words, and the little maids retreated in fear, it seems that they are not very old.

Wei Yue Iori looked at Ye Zhao again, Ye Zhao seemed to know what she wanted to say, and said with a smile: "You go too, go to see your Inoue teacher, and sleep with her today." ”

Reedyue Iori said "Hai", got up, and walked out like a cloud.

Outside, the Inoue musician, who was kneeling and holding the shamisen, saw Iori Reedi and looked at her in surprise, and was speechless.

Inoue musician is in her forties, and her charm still exists, although she only taught Wei Yue Iori the piano for three months, but she was naturally very impressed by this beautiful art with a very deep foundation in piano skills.

"Watanabe ......" Inoue musician still remembers the name of Iori Reedzuki.

"Inoue-sensei, my name is Iori Reeduki now." Iori sat on her knees in front of Inoue and looked at the teacher quietly.

Inoue also had a delicate mind, and said in surprise: "You, are you what they said about Yue Gege?" "This big mansion, all the servants, are prepared for Yue Gege, Inoue had long guessed that Yue Gege might be a native, but he didn't expect it to be his own student, or rather, a former student.

Iori nodded lightly and said, "That's what the Chinese call me." ”

Inoue suddenly put down the three-stringed piano and said prostrately: "Miss Weiyue, I ask you one thing, my brother, who was arrested by the shogunate for inciting hatred against the Chinese, I heard that he was going to be sentenced to death, and I was also expelled from the music house by the imperial family, please must find a way to rescue my brother, Chinese, there must be a way." ”

Iori was silent for a while, with some sadness in her eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, Inoue-sensei, I can't promise you, because I, like you, am not qualified to make any requests to the Chinese." ”

Inoue's eyes gradually turned red, and he sat up straight and was silent.

Ye Zhao didn't know that the foreign women were grieving for their fate, after Wei Yue Yiori left, he looked Jin Feng up and down, Jin Feng's eyes seemed to drip water, "Master, let's take a bath, let's sleep here, I said that my tatami mat, the concubine has not slept yet." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded.

…… Second, the refreshed Ye Zhao once again convened the six political deliberations.

Making love with Jin Feng on the brocade covered with tatami mats, it feels like being in the wilderness, it has a lot of fun, and the bed is completely two feelings, but Ye Zhao is pondering, the matchmaker, Rong'er, Hua Ji, and Shawa are back, and they have to lead them to give it a try, which is a bit interesting.

The place of surname love should also be kept fresh from time to time, this is really true, last night and Jin Feng, it was really a good roll, Jin Feng was cleaned up and really cried, when she came to the Ya, she was still asleep, the snow was greasy and crispy, soft **, covered with a gorgeous brocade quilt, indescribably attractive, but a line of tears in the corners of the eyes, but Ye Zhao loved and pity, and kissed a few mouths before leaving.

Another comforting thing is that Iori tells herself that Inoue-sensei's brother is a member of an armed group against the Chinese, and that Iori asks herself for the first time not to hurt Inoue-sensei.

Ye Zhao listened to her words, it was too late to be happy, how could he harm a weak woman, not to mention that Inoue's identity could be clearly understood without being investigated?

Thinking about the situation in the morning, Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile again.

Iori Reeduke, who was wearing a purple kimono, was beautiful and quiet, kneeling quietly by the sliding door, telling about Inoue, and even more prostrate to himself: "Please sir, don't hurt Inoue-sensei, if Inoue-sensei is hurt, Iori Reeduki is the sinner who killed the teacher, and I can only use death to wash away my betrayal." ”

Obviously, because of Inoue's younger brother's relationship, Iori Rei Yue was worried that she would do something unfavorable to Ye Zhao, and if she didn't report it to Ye Zhao, it would be her dereliction of duty, but it was not her intention to tell the truth, so she could only ask the master for the first time not to do anything to hurt Teacher Inoue and just send her away.

Ye Zhao laughed at the time and said: "Don't worry, her brother, Jin Feng has already entrusted someone to rescue him, maybe he will receive the message from his brother tomorrow, and he will not be executed, but that's all, if I go to prison for a few years, if I still don't change it, then I can't help it." ”

And the gratitude in Wei Yue Iori's eyes Ye Zhao can see it, no matter what, it is always a pleasant thing to be grateful to this girl with a dusty temperament, and the mood is also comfortable.

Convening the Sixth Council, Ye Zhao hopes to determine the issuance time of the banknotes, preferably after the year, and try to make the south digest the banknotes before the outbreak of war.

Since the last meeting, the South has accelerated the preparation of the Central Bank, the Board of Management has already been formed, and the design of the banknote has been designed together with the Ministry of Finance, which is now in the refined template.

The one-yuan banknote of the Southern Dynasty, under the veto of Ye Zhao three times, abandoned the original scheme of the sword and shield pattern on the back of the head of the regent on the front, and replaced it with a soft blue and gray two-color tone, the pattern is a majestic landscape painting, and the watermark is anti-counterfeiting.

At the political meeting, listening to Li Jianchen's report on the preparations for the issuance of banknotes, Ye Zhao bowed slightly.

If you don't change at 9 o'clock in the evening, you will put it on at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Ah, I just went to read the comments, and some people said that I always said that tomorrow will be more annoying tomorrow, too, think about it, so it seems that every day is not more than every day in arrears, which is also a psychological suggestion, fainted.

Khan, in fact, if today's chapter is yesterday, it doesn't count the chapter on the 31st that is, the chapter at zero o'clock on the 1st, this month has an average of 6,000 words, but because I often post that it will be more later, more later, more tomorrow, more tomorrow, it feels like I owe it tomorrow today, and I don't know how much I owe.

Originally, I don't like to count words and the like, because I'm the kind of guy who can write as much as he can, and sometimes I can't help it, because this book is similar to the later stage of the official road, the angle is too high, there are too many things to think about, and sometimes I am busy with time, as if these days, we have a conference here, so after the jam, I can only make up for it slowly.

This month, I was stuck on the second day of the double monthly pass, or even the first day, and I didn't grasp the advantage of the monthly pass that everyone created for me, in fact, it was quite depressing, especially double, who wouldn't want to write more?

But recently, the book review was updated twice because of me.,As a result, the last update was late and didn't notify in time.,Some people say I'm saying this, I'm that.,In fact, joining the army asks yourself if you can't update on time, 99% of the time will be notified in advance.,Occasionally, because the writing is smooth, I really don't want to interrupt the train of thought.,Can't you understand?

I don't want to pour these bitter water, I've been writing books for many years, and I've learned to endure some things silently, and counting the number of words is even more boring, because in fact, to be honest, how much you write, you should also be, and you can't repay everyone's love for joining the army, not to mention writing too much, making enough money, and flying monthly tickets, who doesn't like it? However, joining the army is indeed a slow hand, and I like to think about the plot slowly, pondering the language and psychology of the characters, and I can't be in the water there, I can only do what I can.

Today, I say this, mainly to say that every time I join the army, I am a little bit poor, and I say that the word count is updated in the book review area. Of course, if you want to join the army, you write more, or you write too little, not enough to read, I still like to read this.

But if the update is late or the time can't be adjusted for the time being, he immediately jumped out to accuse him of joining the army, and even rose to the height of character, which is really a bit aggrieved.

I ask myself to join the army is a very conscious person, and if I break the shift during the double period, I won't die begging for a monthly pass, and I don't feel like I have the face to shout at the top of my voice.

But if my surname that doesn't like squeaks very much makes people think I'm cold, proud, to be honest, I really give people this feeling? Really speechless, I have seen this kind of comment more than once in the book review section.

Ah, tomorrow Xiaonian, I wish you all a happy life, the guy who was hurt by my complaints, let's have a good year too, haha.

In short, I will work hard to write when I join the army, the first half of this month is nonsense, barely reaching the bottom line of word count, and I will work hard to write more in the second half of the month, and I will strive to write more excitingly.
