It is no secret that the Punjabi and the Solian Ministries are included in the direct jurisdiction of the Reich, and the question of when is the best time to do so has been a point of contention. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info When the empire was still at war in the Indean region, there was a lot of demand for the Punjabi and the Solian to become direct counties, but the fear of an overreaction from the people of Hyderabad prevailed, so it was shelved.

Now that most of the West Indodian has been controlled by the Empire, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before the South Indodian is under the control of the Empire after the Battle of Xize, in this case, it seems to be a matter of course to incorporate the Punjabi and the Solian Ministry into the direct management of the Empire, many classes and forces have already made large-scale investments in the Indean region, especially the imperial financial aristocracy who have reached a compromise with the central government of the empire is a large-scale march to the Indian region, where the abundant gold production is the most coveted by the financial aristocracy, and the local wealthy class that has accumulated several generations or even dozens of generations will also become a huge customer resource in the banking industry。 The industrial and commercial circles have also entered the mining, smelting, processing, cotton and textile industries in the Indean region on a large scale, and have made considerable gains by making use of the extremely abundant and cheap labor force in the Indean region to build industries on a large scale.

It is precisely because they have tried every means to operate up and down Yanjing, lobbying representatives of the Senate and the Civic Yuan, generously supporting influential civil associations, encouraging celebrities and literati to write articles and talks to create a public opinion offensive, and frequently exerting pressure on the Imperial Government Council.

In fact, Xiao Tang has always hoped in his heart that he could bring the Punjabi and the Solian Ministry into the jurisdiction of the empire as soon as possible, in his opinion, the time is actually ripe for these two places, and it should be a logical thing for the two places to change the county management, and it will only win the support of all parties in the empire and local forces, except that the Hyderabad and the so-called Indian kingdom, which are now in decline, may issue some painless protests, which are almost negligible, and will not have any substantive effect. The economic prosperity of these two places can not only provide a broad market for the industry and commerce in the interior of the empire, but also provide a large source of tax revenue for the empire's finances, and the empire can also use the good performance of the economic development of these two places to establish a glorious image for the rest of the Indian and Indian departments, and lay a good foundation for the empire's next westward expansion.

But all this must be approved by His Majesty the Emperor, Xiao Tang has already secretly sent the official document proposing to change the two places into counties to His Majesty the Emperor who has been vacationing in the Gusu area, and His Majesty the Emperor should have replied a long time ago, but there was no reply, and the second official letter has been sent for three days, and it is said that it should also be in the hands of His Majesty, what His Majesty the Emperor is considering, Xiao Tang has no way of knowing.

The problems previously considered should not exist now, and the taming of the Luope people has in fact cut off the last illusion of the Indians, surrounded by the embrace of the empire, the economy is becoming integrated, and the ethnic exchanges and integration are frequent, and the northwest county has faintly become the largest settlement of the Indians except for the Indian area, the proportion of the Indians has accounted for more than 30% of the population in the northwest, and the central and southern counties and Burmese counties have also become the new hotspots for the Indians to immigrate, and the intermarriage between the Tang and the Indians has become the most common interracial marriage。

At the same time, a large number of Tang businessmen and businessmen have settled or settled their second families in various cities in the Indean region, and the beautiful and enthusiastic Indean women have become the first choice for wealthy Tang businessmen and businessmen to take concubines, such as Keshihar, Jaipudu, Reed, Hylum and other cities with more Tang merchants, Tang businessmen marry Indean women as concubines There are dozens of weddings almost every day, especially the "Imperial Property Inheritance Law" A series of marriages involving property rights, Civil law laws such as financial rights began to be applied in the imperial protectorate, which made the phenomenon of female surnames marrying into Tang families even more surged, and the customs and habits of most of the marriage expenses of the Tang nationality were borne by male surnames, especially welcomed by the poorer families of the Indian ethnic groups, and marrying into the Tang family not only exempted a large amount of dowry, but also the person and the children born to him can also enjoy the inheritance rights, which has become the most important factor for the female surnames of the Indian ethnic groups to choose the Tang nationality, and the close blood relationship has also become a major bridge for the frequent exchanges between the two ethnic groups。

It was under such circumstances that Xiao Tang believed that the conditions for the two places to change counties were completely ripe, but before the official imperial decree of His Majesty the Emperor arrived, he could only deal with public opinion in an extremely vague or even slightly negative tone, so as to avoid some other adverse consequences due to misunderstanding.

When Wu Feng received the second official letter from the Imperial Government Council, he was leisurely immersed in the water and mountains of Gusu, and he couldn't think about it.

"Zi Qin, the green wave east and west, the north and south water, the red bar three hundred and ninety bridges, this Gusu waterscape really deserves its name, I stayed here for a week, it was like a white horse passing through the gap, time is like a shuttle, I really want to live here forever." Dressed in a light shirt, with a half-open folding fan, and hosta hairpin, Wufeng at this time no longer has the majesty and domineering of the emperor, and has a little more grace and grace of a literati.

"When you go to Gusu to see you, everyone sleeps on the river. There are few idle places in the ancient palace, and there are many small bridges in the water port. The night market sells water lotus root, and the spring boat carries Qiluo. Knowing the moonlit night from afar, acacia is singing in the fishing song. Your Majesty, since ancient times, the city of Gusu Mansion has been known as the moist side, whether it is a literati or a gentry and celebrities, they are all proud of the waterscape and garden here, the waterscape comes from nature, and the garden is purely artificial, and the two complement each other. Su Qin is obviously very satisfied with this job of an escort, he works hard all year round, and he can have a moment of leisure, although he has more constraints by Wufeng's side, but it is better than Yanjing's hard work all the time.

"Hehe, this is the Baodai Bridge, known as the first bridge in Gusu?" Wufeng folding fan shook lightly, sat on the bow of the boat and looked up.

"Exactly, that side is the mouth of the lake, if it is in the bright moon night, you can watch the wonder of 'string of moons'. There is a poem: 'Yaotai lost crested hairpin, jade belt lying on the water reflecting the green moss; to see the Mid-Autumn Festival moon and bright night, fifty-three holes should come. This bridge has 53 holes, the history has been 500 years long, it is said that the magistrate was the time to donate his official uniform to sell for charity, by the donation of many Gusu silk merchants, after 500 years still stands majestically, it is really a treasure of Gusu. Su Qin had a look of remembrance on his face, "Twelve years ago, I traveled here, and I was fortunate enough to watch the wonders of the moon, which is indeed beautiful. ”

Looking around, the guards at the stern of the ship all looked serious, vigilantly watching the movements up and down the surroundings, there were more or less ships following from the front and back, the left and right were more or less followed by some boats, this kind of water boat is the most difficult to prevent, although Your Majesty is traveling in micro-service, but no one can guarantee that the news will leak out, Your Majesty has experienced many assassinations, the calmer it is, the more hidden murder is often hidden.

Wufeng didn't think as much as the guards around him, and he had stayed in Gusu for a week, and he hadn't alarmed the local officials, and even Wang Zongxi, the governor of Jiangnan, didn't know Wufeng's whereabouts, only knew that His Majesty was still staying in Jiangnan, but he couldn't know which of the seven mansions was there.

"Zi Qin, have you read Xiao Tang's letter? It seems that Yan Jing is in a raging mood, and he has a lot of opinions about Solian and Punja's delay in establishing a county. "The cool breeze is quiet, the willows are falling, the cicadas are singing and the insects are lurking, and the boat is on the water, which is particularly elegant. Wu Feng lay comfortably in the chair at the bow of the boat, and moved his body comfortably and said casually.

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, the so-called public anger, is just the expression of the voice of some vested interests, Solian and Punja, just rich in gold is enough to make countless people salivate, not to mention that Soryan is now one of the most important cotton textile bases in the empire, and Punjab's gem and jade processing and slave trade empire can not be compared, driven by such huge interests, whether it is the Senate, the Civic House, or the civil society, how can you not wave the flag and shoutIf it is not included in the formal administrative divisions of the empire, the protection of interests has always been in the throat, and it is no wonder that people have spared no effort in all-round public relations. ”

Su Qin smiled slightly, regarding the establishment of counties in these two places, even if he is in Jiangnan, he has never stopped, there will always be people who come around to inquire about the news, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor is also not in peace, as far as he knows, there are also people among His Majesty's concubines who are more or less involved with the interest groups of the two places.

Wu Feng also heard something in Su Qin's words, the other party was not wrong, even Leng Ruoxing, who had never asked about such mundane things, came to inquire about this matter, which really surprised Wu Feng. Later, Leng Ruoxing shyly talked about the fact that the Tianshan faction had also jointly invested in a gold mine with some local businessmen in the East India De'an, that is, the Punjab region, and the other party was very concerned about whether the empire would include the Punjabi under its direct jurisdiction, and repeatedly asked him to inquire about the truth. The word profit is enough to make way for everything.

After the news of the first battle of Cui Wenxiu and Xi Ze spread, this trend almost could not be calmed down, and no one in the Indean region could interfere with the actions of the empire, even Xiao Tang thought that it was the best time for the two places to establish a county, and whether the reaction of the people of Hyderabad could not be taken into account anymore, Wu Feng had not yet made up his mind about this issue, and now he also wanted to discuss it with Su Qin Haosheng.
