The royal palaces of Turkestan are exotic, with white-domed buildings that combine Turkic-style ruggedness with Arabic quietness.

The baths, which lead directly to the bedrooms through a felt corridor, are also quite spacious and elegant, with white granite walls and hot tubs, and a wooden house with a hint of a sauna from later generations, with heated stones and hot baths after splashing water.

This kind of bath is also extremely popular in the aristocratic residences in the city, but the stone materials used are uneven, and the heated stone used in the palace sauna Ye Zhao does not know its texture, it is said to be a volcanic stone, which can withstand extremely fast heating and cooling and can store a lot of heat, but the temperature in the bath can really be compared with the sauna of later generations.

With a bath towel around his waist, he sat on a wooden chair with his eyes closed, and the hot wind was bubbling from his pores, Ye Zhao let out a long breath, it has been a few months, and it is rare to relax.

The grazing areas of several Kazakh tribes have just been divided, and these tribes can only use the old system for the time being to let their patriarchs rule, and the tribal ministers are also appointed as "consolation envoys" and "patrol inspections" and other official positions according to the size of each tribe, which are also assessed once every five years.

The Yamen, the minister of the Northern Turkic affairs department based in the city of Turkestan, directly administers the southern Kazakhs and some northern Kyrsky tribes, and any disputes between the tribes are handled by the ministers of the northern Turkic affairs.

A team of more than 60,000 immigrants to Turkestan is already on the way, near the city of Picking, which is very suitable for farming, but the Kazakh tribes are mainly nomadic, the agricultural population is very small, and the farming technology is quite primitive, and there are large tracts of uncultivated land in the Syr Darya area.

In Turkestan, the Central Plains civilization will really set foot in Central Asia and influence Central Asia, and it will become a horn with the two cities of Laining and Anning, gradually turning the Western Regions into the territory of the Central Plains.

"Whew-" Ye Zhao didn't open his eyes, thinking that it was a Kazakh maid who came in to water, but then he heard a giggle, familiar laughter with a slightly wild surname.

You don't have to look to know that Gul Shayir has arrived, Ye Zhaoke really didn't open her eyes, who knows if this barbarian girl came in naked?

"Coward." The rich fragrance of flowers, the slight movement of the wooden chair, and the knowledge of Gulshayir sitting beside him.

Ye Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he saw a piece of red, Ye Zhao opened his eyes with confidence, and then he was stunned, but he saw the red gauze body of Gul Xiayir, but he was wearing a brocade acacia placket, that is, the grassland style underwear that evolved in Mongolia under the influence of sinicization, a piece of red gold silk brocade cloth, tightly attached to the chest, with a brocade belt on the back, the brocade cloth is not large, tightly binding the towering peaks, squeezing the two peaks together, showing a deep cleavage and a crispy chest like clotted fat.

The bronzed belly and the seductive jade navel are all exposed to the air, just like the red silk miniskirt of the cheerleaders in later generations, a pair of long and well-proportioned legs are exposed, and even the beautiful lotus feet are silently enchanting, sending out a seductive invitation.

After all, bikini girls have seen it, and Ye Zhao doesn't have the psychology of ignoring insolence, but the first time he saw a woman dressed so boldly, Gul Shayir exuded the temptation of wild surnames and barbarian customs all over her body, but Ye Zhao's heart couldn't help but jump a few times.

Gul Shayir had heard of the etiquette of the Central Plains, and thought that Ye Zhao would be so frightened that he would run away, and he had already thought of countermeasures, but when he saw him looking himself up and down, he was unexpected, and he was secretly happy, so he smiled and said, "Am I good-looking?" "I stood up and turned around, and in the half-covered red yarn, it was even more wonderful.

Seeing Gul Xiayir's smooth back, Ye Zhao coughed and said with a smile: "It's just a little darker, do you bask in the sun every day?" ”

Gul Shayir is not as white and tender as jade as a woman in the Central Plains, but it is also not black, it is an extremely healthy complexion, delicate snow skin with a slight bronze luster, which is the natural skin color pursued by many European and American celebrities and supermodels in later generations, and is full of the power and temptation of wild surnames.

Gul Shayer's face changed slightly, she often opened the skylight in the yurt [***] to bask in the sun, she felt extremely comfortable, she felt that her complexion was excellent, but when she saw Ye Zhao, she heard that the Central Plains people pay attention to skin like fat and jade, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak, Ye Zhao's words touched her sore spot. She didn't know that Ye Zhao had just swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva when she saw her skin.

"Are you going back to the Central Plains?" Gulshayl asked.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's time to go back." "It's been almost a year and a half since I came out, and I really miss my hometown.

Closing his eyes, Rong'er, Hongniang and other voices and smiles flashed in front of him, and he imagined the little faces of the two girls in the family, I don't know how to give birth, will the big girl be as cute as Rong'er? The second girl must be a beautiful little half-blood, right? I don't know how charming it will be when I grow up.

Ah, Sava is also a big girl, but you can't make her happy, she and Hua Ji are both promoted to concubines, what kind of concubine is Sava for? Golden Silk Princess? It's too nondescript, isn't it?

Thinking of the two daughters, Ye Zhao suddenly thought about something, and said to Gu Li Xiayier: "You come with me." ”

After taking a shower in the bath, Ye Zhao walked to the bedroom, Gul Shayir's amber eyes were slightly surprised, but she still followed behind Ye Zhao, and the seductive snow feet pulled up the clogs, and followed Ye Zhao into the bedroom with flower felt.

The side door of the bedroom leads to the bath, and there is a guard outside the main entrance.

The bedroom is lit with oil lamps, huge tapestries hanging from the walls, round-headed bedposts, and gauze tents hanging from the ceiling, making it a very comfortable place to sleep in an exotic bed.

At the head of the bed hung an ornate velvet hat and Kirgiz costume, which Gulshail had just replaced.

Ye Zhao sat down in front of the dresser, took out a pair of scissors and handed it to Gul Shayir and said, "Come, cut my braids!" ”

It's going home, and the father that the two daughters saw should have a new image.

Gulshayir was stunned for a moment and asked, "Cut your braids?" Seeing the short hair of the soldiers, she thought that in the Central Plains Empire, the nobles had braids.

Ye Zhao nodded, "Well, cut it." ”

Gulishayir grabbed Ye Zhao's braid and held the scissors for a long time, but he was a little reluctant.

Ye Zhao looked at the bronze mirror and suddenly said, "Slow down, slow down." ”

Gulshayir was relieved and said with a smile: "That's it, what did you cut it for, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Ye Zhao didn't think it looked good with braids, but suddenly he felt a little awkward to cut short hair, men have always tied their hair in the Central Plains, and some people in later generations said that Oriental men's faces are suitable for long hair, and Ye Zhao now suddenly feels that it feels a little awkward to cut short hair, and untie the braids to change the hairstyle? What kind of hairstyle does it look good with?

I couldn't think of it for a while, not to mention that I was tinkering with my hairstyle with Gul Shayir, a barbarian woman, it must be nondescript, forget it, let's go back to the capital, the matchmaker will definitely be able to come up with a beautiful hairstyle for herself.

Picking up the pocket watch on the table and looking at it, Ye Zhao said, "It's late, you can go back to sleep too." ”

Gulsha Yierge smiled and said, "I'll sleep here tonight." With that, Shi Shiran walked to the bed and got into the curtain.

Ye Zhao was speechless for a while, but then again, in the past few months of military and political affairs, fighting against Tsarist Russia, Gul Shayir has not bothered herself once, but she is a barbarian woman who knows how to advance and retreat.

"Sleep, sleep, don't blame me if you eat." Ye Zhao muttered casually, but his heart jumped, how could he feel that something would happen tonight?

"Do you eat human flesh?" Ye Zhao's muttering was heard by Gul Shayir, and Amber eyes stared curiously at Ye Zhao who had entered the gauze tent and asked.

Although her level of Central Plains dialect has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few months, she can already communicate with Ye Zhao, but the Central Plains dialect is broad and profound, and she naturally can't understand some puns and ambiguities.

"You're eating human flesh." Ye Zhao glared at her, lay down, and dragged the soft blanket over it, although it was the height of summer, this palace didn't know how to design and build, just like the Forbidden City of Beijing, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was quite cool in the bedroom.

In fact, since I was able to communicate with her, I felt that I was extremely comfortable with Gul Shayer, there were not many identity bonds, it seemed to be a very equal communication, she spoke boldly, and rarely had any scruples, I haven't enjoyed this feeling for many years, and the feeling of being high is really uncomfortable.

The soft carpet was suddenly lifted, and Gulshayir pasted it.

Ye Zhao said: "Let's talk." "I will return to the Central Plains in a few days, thinking that I will be separated from Gul Shayir, and I may not even be able to meet her again in this life, but I am also a little melancholy.

Gulshail giggled, "Well, you say it. Leaning towards Ye Zhao's side again, the elastic and slightly cold ** squeezed on Ye Zhao's arm.

Ye Zhao frowned, pushed her away with his hand, and said, "Go, sleep far away!" "It's like driving cattle and sheep.

Gulshail was not angry, and giggled and stepped back.

"Tell me, what do you think of the people of the Central Plains? Whether you are a Kazakh or a Kirgiz, I hope that you will also become part of the Central Plains. "There is no need to avoid anything when talking to Gul Shayir, in fact, Ye Zhao also knows that if you want to truly integrate into the Central Plains civilization, you need the Central Plains Empire to remain strong, and the values of common prosperity, equality and freedom of all ethnic groups will slowly become a part of their lives, which is a slow process, a hundred years, two hundred years, or even hundreds of years.

However, the peoples of Central Asia have always been relatively easy to conquer, but none of the civilizations that rule them can be advanced to the point of long-term prosperity, and most of the time, this area is ruled by barbarians, and there is no civilization that exists. However, Ye Zhao believes that the Central Plains civilization, which has not experienced the blows of the West and lost its self-confidence, will surely glow with more and more prosperity after being gradually injected with modern vitality.

"They're afraid of you." Gulshayir said with a smile.

Ye Zhao knew that the "they" she said were the patriarchs of the tribes, no matter how gentle she was, in fact, the strength of the Central Plains had already shocked them.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You're not afraid of me." ”

As she spoke, Gul Shayir fell asleep again, Ye Zhao shook her head, a barbarian woman, she didn't understand any politeness.

Pulling the soft carpet to his chest, thinking about the political economy, he didn't care about any interests at all and began to measure the railway from Anxi Prefecture to Uriya Sutai, if the Lanxin and Lanwu railways can be completed, the threat of northern Xinjiang will be greatly reduced, but I heard that the Russians are also making rapid progress in building the railway to the immigrant city of Novosibirsk, if it is completed one step earlier, the north of Outer Mongolia is afraid that it will not be able to live in peace.

I am always in a race against time.

Hazy and didn't know when to fall asleep, Ye Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, his hands hurt, he raised his eyes to look, on his chest, his hands were firmly bound by the brocade belt, Gul Shayir knelt at his feet, clapped his hands with a smile, and said, "You can't run now, right?" Ye Zhao found that his legs and ankles were also firmly bound.

"What have you done?" Ye Zhao was stunned, and he wanted to call the guards, but he reacted completely subconsciously, and the guards were just outside the door of the dormitory, and they came immediately.

Gul Shayir's hand drilled into Ye Zhao's pants like a spirit snake, Ye Zhao was struck by lightning, and the words he wanted to shout were swallowed into his stomach violently.

Immediately, she also knew that it was impossible for Gulshayir to harm herself, and she would not benefit from any harm except for the slaughter of the entire clan.

Gul Shayir was already lying on Ye Zhao's side with a smile, and the amber contact lenses flashing with a strange color stared at Ye Zhao's face, and said with a smile: "Coward, look where you are fleeing." "It's close, the face is very charming, looking forward to life, and the style is thousands. A trace of floral fragrance drilled into Ye Zhao's nose, stirring people's hearts uneasy.

"Let me go." Ye Zhao is not good at shouting guards at this time, but what kind of system can he become?

"Hmph, don't you want to too?" Gulshayir said disdainfully.

Ye Zhao was embarrassed, although the little snake-like hands had no rules, but scratching and scratching, it could itch people like something, and naturally physiologically reacted.

"Do you want to bring trouble on your people?" Ye Zhao had a calm face, in fact, he was weak when he said this, he was really lustful, and he had been abstinent for a year and a half, and under such teasing, the lust soared to the sky.

Gul Shayir was stunned, but immediately, he fell on Ye Zhao's chest, bit Ye Zhao's neck lightly with silver teeth, and said a word of Kirgiz vaguely, with a strange bewitching voice, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Ye Zhao was bitten by it, and Gul Shayir also exclaimed in surprise and let go of his little hand, obviously, frightened.

Ye Zhao said helplessly: "Let me go." ”

Seeing Gu Lixiayir shaking his head, Ye Zhao said: "It's all like this, can I still drive you away?" And said: "You are so beautiful, I am rare in the Central Plains, originally I was strict with my identity, and I should not have love entanglements with you, but now you and I are no different from husband and wife, do I still account for a lot more than this?" ”

After all, Gu Li Xiayier's surname was sparse, and she was coaxed by Ye Zhao's two kind words, and praised her for being beautiful, and she couldn't help but be secretly happy, not to mention that although she was arrogant, she also knew that she was tied to the Emperor of the Central Plains like this, and she couldn't say anything, her eyes rolled, and she untied the brocade belt on Ye Zhao's wrists and ankles.

Ye Zhao rubbed his wrists, and wanted to throw this barbarian girl out, but just wanted to speak, but saw Gul Xia Yir gently leaning on his chest, and whispered: "If you leave, I will never see you again in the future." ”

Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment and said: "That's not necessarily, you can go to Yanjing to see me, besides, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and there is a friend who can be missed in the distance, isn't that good?" ”

Gul Shayir shook her flirtatious braids gently, thinking that she was shaking her head, and said: "You are the emperor of the Central Plains, the sun in the sky, I am just a chick on the grassland, you will never remember me again when you return to Yanjing." ”

Ye Zhao didn't expect her to say this, and he didn't think she was a delicate person, and said with a smile: "Do you like me?" I don't think so. "I really don't think the two have any love entanglements.

Gulshayir said: "I don't know, I know that I ride a horse on the grassland with you, I don't feel lonely, if you leave, my rouge horse will be lonely, I will also be lonely, riding it alone, thinking about people from afar, I want to ......cry when I think of it."

Ye Zhao was stunned again, thinking about the girl with deep roots in love on the endless grassland, thinking of her lover in the distance, the ancient road west wind thin horse, and the broken intestine man at the end of the world, it is really a picture of his affection.

But I didn't know what was wrong, so I thought about it and said, "I'll hug you." ”

Gul Shayir snorted and got into Ye Zhao's arms.

Ye Zhaoruo knew that she had just learned a lot of these words from the Central Plains teacher, and she had consulted for a long time about the artistic conception of the Central Plains love words, and finally made up such a set of words, but she was afraid that she would be ashamed and angry and throw her out.

Gul Shayer's surname is rough, I don't know what love is, but when I learn to say these words, I can't help but feel strange, as if I was riding a horse with the Central Plains Emperor when galloping on the grassland, I really feel extremely happy, the Central Plains Emperor said a lot of things she doesn't understand, but I like to listen to it, he is so gentle, people seem to be overflowing in the spring breeze all day long, if one day he leaves the grassland, he is left alone, but, I really want to cry nose.

Since she was a child, she has never cried once, and the sour taste of her nose surprised and frightened her, should she always taste this strange taste in the future? This kind of taste is really scary.

At this time, he was embraced by Ye Zhao, and an incomparable sense of fullness filled his chest, warm, as if in the clouds.

Even Gul Shayir forgot her intention, when Ye Zhao came to kiss her little face, she actually had a strange feeling for the first time, and it was a long time before she knew that this feeling was called shyness.

Hugging Gul Shayir, seeing the confusion in her amber eyes, Ye Zhao's heart softened, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said, "Sleep." ”

Seeing that Gu Lixiayir suddenly pursed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered uneasily, obviously extremely nervous, the barbarian girl was suddenly shy, and the wild cat turned into a docile flower cat, and her small appearance was very cute, Ye Zhao smiled and kissed her gently, but the desire just now was completely gone.

Soon, Gulshail fell asleep again, but this time, it was not in disguise.

This delicate bullet ** in his arms is very sultry, Gul Xia Yier is even more honest when he sleeps, and he bends his legs, and exaggeratedly steps on the root of Ye Zhao's legs, and his wonderful toes are more like cat's claws and scratches a few times, and it is inevitable to touch Ye Zhao's sensitive area.

Ye Zhao almost exploded at that time, and he was forced to suppress his passion, but he didn't sleep all night.

When he woke up in the morning, Gul Shayir screamed, and then he remembered his intention, but he didn't know why, but his desire to leave his blood for himself was light, and he seemed to be afraid of being alone with him, and he panicked, so he got up in the morning, immediately grabbed his clothes and put them on, and ran out in a panic. Ye Zhao was stunned.

Thinking about last night, Ye Zhao also smiled dumbly, as if he had become a saint, but he couldn't really go all the way and owe romantic debts all the way, right?

In the next few days, in the evening, Gul Shayir did not come to harass Ye Zhao again, but in the middle of the day, he was entangled with Ye Zhao and accompanied Ye Zhao to run around.

In the past few days, Ye Zhao was busy explaining the affairs after he left, and sent a report to the Beijing division to negotiate with the Russians, Turkestan and the Syr Darya region will definitely not retreat, as for the release of prisoners as a prerequisite for the Russians' negotiations, the Russians are asked to repatriate the war criminals headed by the six kings Yixin to exchange prisoners, especially Zeng Guofan and other tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians fled north to Novosibirsk with the help of the Russians.

The more time passes, the stronger Turkestan will be in the hands, and it is Russia and not China that are anxious.

The sun is like fire, and on the endless grassland, two horses, one red and one white, galloped like lightning, and there was a "bang" sound, and a pheasant that had just fluttered up was planted in the grass.

"Haha, I hit it again!" On the white horse, Ye Zhao slowly pulled the reins.

Rouge was on the horse, it was Gul Shayir dressed as a child of the grassland, and she was unconvinced and pulled the bolt of her gun, which was the horse pistol that Ye Zhao gave her.

Ye Zhao looked amused and said, "Do you want to win me so much?" ”

Gulshail gritted his teeth and did not squeak.

Behind, twenty or thirty red-clothed cavalry rushed to the front, naturally the Ouchi guards, some of them carried pheasants and hares strung with ropes on their shoulders, all of which had just been shot by Ye Zhao.

"Set up a fire, let's roast game and eat it!" Ye Zhao made a gesture, and all the guards dismounted.

Ye Zhao dismounted, and Gu Li Xia Yir found a grassy slope to sit down, Ye Zhao took out the pocket watch from his arms, threw it to Gu Li Xia Yir and said: "Give it to you, use this to calculate the time accurately." ”

Gulshayir said: "I don't want it, you have given me enough, I have no gifts for you." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You almost gave yourself to me, what else do we have to share with each other?" "Talking to Gul Shayir, you can do it casually, after that night, what did Ye Zhao say about her feelings, it seemed to be like an iron child, just like the closest friend with a different surname in later generations.

Gulshayl really didn't care at all, but he was silent for a while and said, "Are you leaving tomorrow?" ”

Ye Zhao said: "You have to go." ”

Gulshail nodded, and did not squeak.

After using the wild game roasted by the guards, Gul Shayir wanted to compare marksmanship with Ye Zhao again, Ye Zhao smiled at her, the two galloped on the grassland, and in the sound of gunfire, the wild things on the grassland suffered, chickens flew and rabbits jumped, and a small wolf pack also suffered, more than 30 wolves, ten minutes, were slaughtered by Ye Zhao and the guards.

Gulshail didn't shoot a wolf, and she was a monk halfway, and she didn't dare to compliment her marksmanship, and she was far worse than Afaf.

Until dusk, Gul Shayir failed to win Ye Zhao once, she suddenly had a violent temper, raised her knee, and folded the gun to her knees, thinking that she wanted to break the carbine, clicked a few times, and saw that the carbine was extremely hard, she raised her hand and threw it under the horse.

Ye Zhao was angry and funny, Tima caught up with two steps and said, "What kind of tantrum do you have when you are good?" You're not a surname you can't afford to lose, are you? ”

Gulshail snorted and said, "Whoever calls it disobedient, I prayed to Sirius this morning, and told it that if I can't win you, I'll smash it." ”

Ye Zhao said helplessly: "Is it because you can't shoot well?" Besides, do you want to win me so much? ”

Gulshayir snorted coldly, "I use a longbow? Let's compare again. As he spoke, he took off the bow of the beast's head from his back.

Ye Zhao rubbed his nose and said, "Come on." ”

Gul Shayir's archery skills are indeed exquisite, Ye Zhao also deliberately let her slightly, when he killed three prey and encountered the fourth pheasant, Ye Zhao raised the gun a little slower, and then saw the arrow break out of the air, snorted, and nailed the pheasant firmly to the ground, and the arrow trembled slightly.

Ye Zhao was embarrassed, even if he didn't let her, he was afraid that he would be distracted a little, and she would take the lead, and his eyesight and feeling were extremely amazing, if he was used to using the musket and found the right feeling, Gulishayir was probably a sharpshooter.

Gul Shail cheered, turned around and smiled: "You go back to the Central Plains, but remember, you once lost to me, my name is Gul Shayir!" It's not a barbarian girl, it's not a little wild cat, it's Gulshail! You can win your Gulshail! ”

Ye Zhao was stunned, and rode the horse slowly to her side, only then did she know why she had to win a game for herself. ”

The two rode slowly, and Gul Shayir sighed softly, this was the first time Ye Zhao heard her sigh, and heard her whisper: "If I don't win you once, you will return to Middle-earth, and you will definitely forget a little that you once encountered on the grassland." ”

At this time, the sunset is slanting, the west is fiery red, and the entire grassland seems to be red, and the scenery is extremely magnificent.

The two rode side by side, and their long figures pulled out from afar.

Ye Zhao was silent for a long time, gently patted her on the shoulder, and said, "You come with me, follow me to Yanjing." ”

Gulshayir Gege smiled, suddenly urged the horses, and said, "You chase me and talk about it!" "The rouge horse flew out, although Ye Zhao's white horse was a divine horse, but after all, he had been in the battle formation for a long time, and it was rare to be able to spread joy when he arrived in the Western Regions, but it was not as fast as the little red horse of Gul Xia Yir sweat blood, chasing for half an hour, but the horse's head was getting farther and farther away, Gul Xia Yier Gege smiled, and slowly pulled the horse.

Pointing to the vast grassland, Gulshayir said slowly: "I belong here. ”

The breeze blew, and the red placket of Gulshayir was slightly raised, and the whole grassland seemed to be under her feet.

Silently looking at her heroic appearance, Ye Zhao's heart throbbed, and suddenly thought that after Ming, he would see her indefinitely, and he couldn't help but feel stunned, and muttered: "Yes, you belong here, you should be an eagle flying freely on the prairie, not a canary in Yanjing City." ”

Looking into the distance, Ye Zhao put his hands in the shape of a trumpet to his mouth and shouted, "I will always remember!" There is a Gulshayl on the savannah! You can win my Gulshayir! She's not a little wildcat! Not a barbarian girl! It's Gulshail! ”

There seemed to be an echo in the distance, as if someone was shouting from all over the grassland.

Gulshayir suddenly rode his horse and galloped, a string of tears fell from the corners of his eyes like a broken thread, and he knew for the first time that crying was such a taste............ On the way back to the Central Plains, Ye Zhao was a little listless, and led the Xiao cavalry group to gallop all the way, but despite this, it was already a month later when he arrived in Yili.

After staying in Anning City for two days on the way, Ye Zhao's mood gradually improved when he saw the green farmland.

When he entered Ili City, it was already September, and it had been a full year and a half since Qin Zheng left Yanjing, and when he saw the cloth banner shops on both sides of the long street in Ili City, Ye Zhao really felt like a world away.

Ili has dismissed the ministers and set up the Ili Mansion, and Harich, who received the information early, and a number of officials from Xinjiang Province went to Ili to welcome the triumphant return of the emperor.

In addition to the inner guards and the cavalry regiment brought by Ye Zhao to Yili, there were thirty more female guards, all of whom were selected female warriors from various ethnic groups such as Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Tajik.

At the same time, on the back road, there were still a hundred beauties selected by various tribes walking with the Zhenghuang Banner Infantry Brigade to enrich the palace maids.

This was all a plan set by the Zongren Mansion, which was responsible for managing the royal chores, and sent a telegram to communicate with Urgon, and it was carried out by Urgon without Ye Zhao intervening.

Speaking of which, there is nothing bad about this move, bringing the relationship between the royal family and various tribes closer, and the first batch of Mongolian court ladies have entered the Forbidden City, with a total of 200 people.

Moreover, the palace maids of the border clan do not need wages, although the salary of the palace maids is a drop in the bucket for the huge royal expenses, and the royal expenses are a drop in the bucket compared with Ye Zhao's annual income.

But labor that doesn't cost money is always good, and it makes people feel good about taking advantage of it.

In fact, according to the laws of the empire, the Ministry of Finance naturally allocates money to the royal family every year for the royal family's expenditure, but now Ye Zhao refuses to accept it every year, and he doesn't know how much silver he has put up to the treasury, how can he still ask the treasury for money? In fact, Ye Zhao originally wanted to write the provision that the royal family does not need to be supported by the state into the law, but the ministers said that they didn't agree with anything, from east to west, heaven and earth, there was no reason for this, right? In the end, Ye Zhao reluctantly agreed to a number symbolizing his surname.

It is estimated that the war in the United States should also end, and I don't know how much money I can share with Wells this time.

At the Ili Guanjia Post House, Ye Zhao and Harwich discussed secretly for more than an hour, and then they went into the study to read the latest newspapers and telegrams exchanged in Beijing.

"Cantonese Daily" expanded very fast, and set up a branch in Dihua, Ye Zhao didn't think it was anything, but in fact, in this era, those colonial points in Africa have newspapers, right?

There was no special message sent to Ye Zhao in Yili, after all, the message transmission was inconvenient, and I was afraid that the message that I had earlier would still be sent to Ye Zhao's transit station in Kashgar Post House, and there would be a fast horse sent to Turkestan.

There was no noteworthy news in the official telegram sent from Jingli to Dihua, but in the "Yue Pao", there were several contents that Ye Zhao was interested in, such as the opening of the railway from Beijing to Mukden, and the signing of an agreement between North Korea and the suzerain, and the Eastern Railway Company obtained the right to lay the railway from Seoul to Pyongyang.

Ye Zhao holds 30 percent of the shares in Guangfu Yinhao, and Ye Zhao holds more than 60 percent of the shares of the Eastern Railway Company, which is the largest shareholder with complete right to speak.

In that year, after 20 years of struggle for the right to lay railways in North Korea, the Eastern Railway won it easily and obtained the ownership of some minerals along the railway.

And this railway will definitely be connected to the Gyeongbong Railway in the end, so that North Korea will be completely controlled by China, whether it is in the political, economic or military fields, it will become a vassal of the suzerain.

In the inconspicuous corner of the third page of the "Cantonese Daily", a piece of news stunned Ye Zhao, saying that the Guangzhou experiment was successful and did not use horse-drawn carriages. However, this news is in the category of anecdotes, and it is not certain that his real surname is true.

Ye Zhao knew that the gasoline engine had reached a critical stage, had he already carried out a driving test?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhao couldn't sit still anymore, so he immediately sent someone to Jingli to inquire, and two hours later, the matchmaker's telegram was sent, and the first sentence asked: "You arrived in Yili?" How about the journey? ”

The faint words made Ye Zhao's heart warm.

In the matchmaker's message, it was said that the gasoline engine had indeed been tested on a wooden convertible tricycle, but after only walking more than 1,000 meters, the engine turned off.

Ye Zhao smiled when he saw it, and said in his heart that it was already quite remarkable.

At the end of the message, the matchmaker asked again: "How many other things do you not know?" ”

The matchmaker is in Yanjing to take care of her family, and Ye Zhaozi also has to be thorough with her, such as the company secretly controlled by Taihexing, some laboratories, etc., all of which are their own industries, of course, it is only the part that the matchmaker needs to know.

It's not that Ye Zhao wants to hide his armpits, but he is afraid that the matchmaker will really see herself as a monster, but isn't it, in terms of normal people, who can drum up this rich industry in just over ten years? If you are willing, in a word, speculative funds will go in, and the economy of the United States and second-rate European countries will collapse, of course, now the laws and regulations are not standardized, if you dare to do this, people will think that you are not a normal economic behavior, and will not use economic behavior against you, and it is okay to directly confiscate your property, so there is no need to go crazy. But it's also terrifying to think about the economic power that can indulge the survival of a country.

Ye Zhao smiled and wrote, "So, you and I are a book from heaven, and you can't read it." ”

Looking down at it with ease, the second telegram was sent by the Government Council, saying that under the rule of the Netherlands, some tribes on the island of Java in the South Seas asked for the establishment of the country, and asked Your Majesty whether our country should exert influence.

Ye Zhao smiled and wrote, "You can negotiate with the Dutch and give support to the tribe." ”

How can a newly rising country deal with the sphere of influence of the traditional colonial powers? In addition to war, of course, it is the export of values, the values of equality and freedom.

It is obviously inappropriate to start a war everywhere, and exporting civilized values has become the first choice.

This sentence is high-sounding, but it is actually deeply learned.

This is different from China's territorial expansion, since your European countries do not recognize the civil rights of the indigenous people of the colonies, they export the concept of equality and freedom, weaken the legitimate existence of your colonies, and retry the situation to take advantage of it.
