Chapter 64: Foursome
The day after Ye Zhao didn't want to come to Dihua, Gul Shayir was taken to the police station as a suspect of "smuggling businessmen".
The so-called smugglers are groups that secretly transport Chinese goods to trade with Tsarist Russian merchants, and they are common in Dihua, Kyakhta and other places.
The trade between China and the Oros has a long history, and in the Treaty of Nebuchu, it was stipulated that "from the date of the peace treaty, all the people of the two countries who hold passports shall be allowed to cross the border and trade with each other." The Treaty of Kyakhta regulates the geographical location of commercial activities: "Those who engage in sporadic trade at the junction of the two countries may choose suitable places in Kyakhta at Nebuchu and Selenga to build houses, walls and fences." ”
Twenty years ago, the Sino-Russian Ili Tarbagatai Trade Charter allowed Russian merchants to establish trading stations in Ili and Tarbahatai in Xinjiang Province.
However, after the unification of the empire, all Sino-Russian overland trade was closed, because Russia intervened in the civil war, and as a punitive measure, the empire cut off Sino-Russian overland trade, of course, in essence, to expel Russian merchants so that they could no longer carry out separatist infiltration activities in Xinjiang Province and Outer Mongolia.
However, throughout the nineteenth century, before the rise of Indian tea, Europeans depended on Chinese tea, and Tsarist Russia was no exception.
When China and Russia first traded with each other, most of them used the way of bartering, but now Oros really has no industrial products that can arouse the interest of Chinese merchants, and they are to pay more gold and silver coins, and even exchange "White Russian slave girls" for Chinese goods, in the capital, a secret "White Russian slave girls" underground trading market has gradually formed, and rich merchants who like to keep white-skinned maids secretly buy female slaves through the black market, the market is very small, and only 20 female slaves were traded last year, so it did not attract the attention of the government.
The most common strongholds of Chinese smugglers are Dihua, Uriya Sutai and Kyakhta.
Dihua is a multi-ethnic mixed city, Han Chinese, Hui, Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Mongols, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, Uzbeks, etc., and even hundreds of Oros live in the city, most of these Oros are immigrants who could not bear the oppression of the tsar at the end of the last century, and a small number of immigrants in recent years, including some Russian merchants stranded in Dihua.
In fact, because of the rise of the "white religion", there are more and more cases of intermarriage between Muslims and non-Muslims, and the situation of mixed living among various ethnic groups is increasing, and this kind of ethnic community is gradually shrinking.
Unfortunately, when Gulshayir stumbled upon the Kirgiz gathering area in the city, and then wandered around it curiously, it happened that because the emperor was stationed in Dihua, the Xinjiang Provincial Police Department issued a document to "crack down on smuggling activities" throughout the territory, and a raid by the Dihua Police Department was in the Kirgiz gathering area.
At the beginning of this year, the Imperial Patrol System was officially renamed the Police System, because the meaning of the word "patrol" was too strong and did not protect citizens, Ye Zhao had long wanted to change the name, and after thinking about it, he felt that "police" was more of a Chinese surname, so he used this foreign term that he was more familiar with.
At the police station, the accompanying female guard reported the residential addresses of the two people, and showed the guest house tickets, and the patrol police released the two people.
The road ticket is a certificate issued by the current imperial floating population from the official office at or above the first level of the hometown of origin, which describes the appearance of merchants, migrants, etc., because there is no ID card now, and communication is inconvenient, if no valid identity certificate is implemented, then many criminals will really never be captured.
For Gul Shayer's description, "beautiful as a flower, delicate facial features, and amber eyes" was written by Ye Zhao, except for Gul Shayer, there was naturally no one else, the policewoman who asked looked at this description and was stunned for a long time, and for the first time she saw the description of beauty and ugliness on the road ticket, but it did prove that the woman in front of her was no different, and she was immediately released.
When Gul Xia Yier returned to the palace, Ye Zhao was talking to Bao Yuan, the governor of Xinjiang Province, and when he heard that Gu Li Xia Yir was taken to the police station for questioning, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, and said in his heart, Look at you, you are still like a monkey and you are not honest, right? But in front of the courtiers, he would not joke with the concubine.
Hearing that Gul Shayir was taken by the police station for questioning, Bao Yuan was taken aback and said, "The minister should die, but he didn't embarrass his mother, right?" ”
Gulshail shook her head: "Not really. Sitting in the empty seat next to the main desk, holding the teacup and sipping the tea gently, she quieted down, she was really dignified and noble, and her beauty was incomparable.
Bao Yuan knew that the emperor had something to say to his mother, and when he saw that the emperor had nothing to say to him, he immediately got up and retired.
Ye Zhao thought for a while and said to Zheng Aqiao: "Give Rui Si a power generation, and smugglers can make good use of it." ”
Today's smuggling merchants, Ye Zhao is not disgusted, these are all adventurous Chinese, just violating the imperial ban, naturally have to be punished, but these people have an inextricable relationship with the Oros merchants, make good use of it, but can ask for some information, of course, it is only information on the surface.
He glanced at Gulshayir and smiled, "Go out for a walk?" ”
Gulshayir immediately smiled like a flower and said, "Okay." The little bird grabbed Ye Zhao's arm like a human and said, "You like this, don't you?" ”
Ye Zhaoxin said that it was good to press the road like this, but it was too eye-catching, and when he walked out, he said: "In Yanjing, there are horses to ride, you can do whatever you want, and the palace is also lively, not so boring." ”
Gulshail grinned and said, "Are you afraid that I will go back to the grassland?" ”
Ye Zhao coughed dryly and walked out.
…… Jin Feng and Hua Ji came together three days later, and Ye Zhao had just signed a mobilization order for the Empire's millions of reserve troops to conduct a large-scale martial arts training.
That night, Ye Zhao loved Hua Ji so much, and it was really a great pleasure to hold Hua Ji's weak and helpless little body like a honey pot, and every time he saw Hua Ji wake up the next day, she was cowardly leaning on her arms and didn't dare to speak, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel very distressed.
Hua Ji may be the most closely dressed among Ye Zhao's wives, she is the Yi nationality, her clothes are different from those of the Central Plains, and she listens to Ye Zhao's words very much, but now she is wearing a white lace dress, a pair of small socks with bare legs, and beautiful milky white leather shoes inlaid with sapphires, which makes her more and more petite and lovely, in fact, she has gained a little height in the past few years, but among the concubines, she is still the most timid and petite one.
She has always been out of the door, and her snow-white calves are attractive.
And Hua Ji put on her clothes, only to find out that it was the time to hold the lamp, knowing that it was the next night, Ye Zhao smiled: "Let's go, I'm hungry, I'll take you to find food." ”
The main room of the back house has two bright and three dark patterns, the main hall is the main hall, and there is also the function of a restaurant, you can enter the east bedroom from the main hall, Ye Zhao and Hua Ji stay here, the east bedroom is north of Yong Road, and the three rooms are the bedroom, the study and the washroom in turn.
Jin Feng and Gul Shayir are using snacks in the study.
Seeing Ye Zhao come in, Jin Feng smiled coquettishly: "I know you are sure of this, I just baked the mille-feuille cake, you can try it." ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "What are you talking about?" ”
Gu Lixia Yier's amber eyes looked Hua Ji and Ye Zhao up and down, maybe at this moment, she really understood that Ye Zhao did not belong to her alone.
Ye Zhao stuffed the mille-feuille cake into Hua Ji's hand and said, "Eat, but you're hungry, right?" ”
Hua Ji snorted, holding the mille-feuille cake in her little hand, and took a small bite lightly.
Jin Feng pulled her to sit down, and said distressedly: "Yes, too, how hard it is to spend a night all the way?" ”
Ye Zhao coughed dryly and said, "Go and ask the old mother to boil some porridge." ”
In Dihua, Ye Zhao didn't want to go through the crowds of palace maids, so it was good to have a lively time with his wives, so he only ordered Harwich to choose two reliable old mothers to do some hard work.
Jin Feng was really a little distressed about Hua Ji, and she also complained casually, and after speaking, she knew that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "I'll go boil, the red date porridge is appetizing, do you say it's okay?" Seeing Ye Zhao nodding, he hurriedly walked out, thinking in his heart how to probe the wind later, to see if the Long Live Lord was angry.
Jin Feng has a lot of hypocrisy towards others, but he really likes Hua Ji, and because Hua Ji is really distressing.
Ye Zhao looked at Hua Ji, who was eating snacks, and couldn't help but feel that he was really a bit of a beast sometimes, and said with a smile: "Hua Ji, go back and give me a big fat boy!" Big fat girls are fine! ”
Hua Ji hummed in a low voice and said, "I'm afraid that Hua Ji is stupid and has no luck to touch the emperor's dragon seed." ”
Ye Zhao said helplessly: "This has nothing to do with being stupid or not." He turned his head to Gu Li Xia Yier and said: "Your surname and Hua Ji are neutralized, and you dare to poke a hole in the sky, when will you give Hua Ji a point?" ”
Gulshail blinked, but didn't squeak.
Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and patted her hand gently, thinking about it, from yesterday to now, she has set her heart upside down, after all, the status of Kirgiz women is still quite high, and as the patriarch, her husband is not qualified to take concubines.
"I slept in the same room with Jin Feng last night?" Ye Zhao asked.
Gul Shayir said: "Yes, I originally wanted to sleep in the study, but Sister Jin Feng didn't let me." ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "The kang is wide enough, and Jin Feng has no bad habits when sleeping, but it is quiet, and it is not like you, and he still sleeps in a handle style." ”
Gu Li Xia Yier said: "I didn't sleep much, I chatted, Sister Jin Feng told me a lot about you." ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "I have something to say." After a pause, he said: "Actually, it's good to have a big family, and you'll know it after a long time." ”
Gul Shayir stuck out his tongue and said, "It's better to sleep with Sister Jin Feng than with you, it's fragrant, and it's not like you, so you know how to bully people." ”
Ye Zhao was speechless and said: "Since she is so good, why don't you two get married, I decree that we will be legal in China in the future, and we can get married." ”
Gul Shayir said: "Okay, if you divorce Sister Jinfeng, I will recruit her as a husband, it's still too late, and a new patriarch has not been elected in my clan." ”
