Chapter 239: Resolving the Uprising
"If we send out men at this time, pretending that someone is in a remote state or county, intending to rebel......"
As soon as this incident came out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally would not set his sights on them.
Lord Xu's eyelids jumped when he heard his companion say this, and he nodded casually.
The two of them gathered behind the crowd, discussed it carefully, and immediately decided on the next plan.
They set their sights on the southeast side of Great Xia.
The southeast of Great Xia is close to the coast, and most of the people in the prefectures and counties around the coast make a living from fishing, and they have no sense of existence on weekdays.
The people in the southeast also seem to be quite honest and do not want to cause trouble.
Because the people have good land to rely on, mountains and fruit trees to rely on, and the craft of fishing.
Therefore, the life of those people living in Southeast County is not bad.
It's just that they rely on the sea for food after all, and they are affected by hurricanes and tsunamis by the sea every year.
The tides and tides, those natural disasters are all related to their lives.
I heard that a small tsunami broke out two years ago, displacing many people in Southeast County and killing many people.
At that time, the imperial court was dealing with the affairs of the western kingdom, but did not pay attention to the southeast county.
The saint only hurriedly allocated a part of the silver and sent it to the southeast county to appease the people of the southeast town, which was considered a matter.
After all, this natural disaster happens every year, and most of the people of Great Xia and the officials of the DPRK and China have become accustomed to it.
If you use this excuse to claim that the court was not appeased at that time, and the disaster silver was coveted by the local corrupt officials, the people rose up to resist, intending to fight for themselves......
Maybe you can really hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince.
After such a plan and arrangement, it happened that the family where Lord Xu and his companions belonged had officials serving in Southeast County.
He secretly contacted the officials of the southeast county, and those officials immediately planned and organized themselves in the local area, preparing to plan an uprising.
They thought that they were skillful and did not attract the attention of the ministers of the court and the royal family.
But they didn't know that their small actions all fell in Chen Mu's eyes.
Chen Mu accepted the letter in his hand and sneered, his eyes gloomy.
The entire hall was extremely quiet, and the attendants and guards were standing not far away, and they didn't dare to make a sound at all.
They knew what was written in the epistle.
When they learned that the ministers of the Xu family and several other families were planning to unite with the officials of Southeast County to plot an uprising, they were even more shocked.
How bold must this be to plot this in private!
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more serious, then they will all be punished for the crime of treason!
Just to cover up the collusion between himself and the county guards of Southeast County, it is too careless to take such a risk!
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, now that we know the news, then we should ......"
"Don't press it for now, although they are willing to be the first bird at this time, then don't blame me for being unkind."
"Just because of the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Arts, the hearts of the people in the DPRK and China are fluctuating."
"If I don't make an example of the monkeys, I'm afraid they will think I'm a bully."
Chen Mu hooked his lips coldly, and when his entourage saw Chen Mu's appearance, he also silently responded, looking at his nose and his nose.
These adults were very bold, but they didn't know that they had already been targeted by Chen Mu.
Chen Mu had already figured out the collusion between Lord Xu and several other adults and Southeast County and other states and counties.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Mu expected that most of them would make some moves during this time.
As a result, even Chen Mu didn't expect that they actually intended to rebel.
When the Xu family and several other ministers of the family secretly planned the uprising, the textile embroidery competition in Beijing also came to an end.
There are five winners in the competition, all of whom are renowned masters in the art of weaving and embroidery.
Their works have been recognized by the noblewomen of Beijing, and the embroidery and textile works in their hands have risen even more.
Some masters have embroidery works that are sold out in the blink of an eye.
And as far as Chen Mu knows, that seemingly ordinary embroidery work can be sold for thousands of taels of silver.
"This competition has really raised the value of those masters, and they are also looking forward to joining the art department."
"Next, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you will arrange for them to coordinate the establishment of the training mansion, and they should also be willing."
"If they don't want to, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you just need to take away their reputation, and they won't dare to say anything more."
An attendant stepped forward, arched his hand, and said so.
His eyes were full of admiration, and when Chen Mu heard this, he nodded quietly.
He immediately summoned the masters who had won the ranking of the competition into the palace, and also called the bachelor who was responsible for coordinating the establishment of the academy into the palace.
When those scholars knew about Chen Mu's plan, they were all twisting and pinching, and they were quite unhappy.
But with Chen Mu's name in front of them, even if they are not happy, they have to act according to Chen Mu's orders.
After dealing with several masters, those masters also knew about Chen Mu's plans, and they felt quite surprised.
"Set up a training government, recruit students to enter the government for training, and train more craftsmen."
"Not only weaving and embroidery, but also tea-making, porcelain-making, cast iron and so on."
"This ...... This is the first time I've heard of this, Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are your plans to recruit so many students to learn this craft? ”
"Although the number of folk craftsmen is small, it should be considered sufficient......
A master said this in surprise, and when Chen Mu heard the other party say this, he sighed and said.
"You don't understand, you just have to do what I tell you to do."
Seeing Chen Mu say this, the masters looked at each other, and finally nodded silently and agreed.
Maybe people in high positions have their own plans.
Combined with the establishment of the department, several adults were vaguely aware of something, but they were not sure.
After the establishment of the training office, most of the students from all over the country heard the news, and most of them felt extremely confused, and some of them thought that they had read poetry and books by themselves, and they disdained this government.
There are also those who are anxious to find a livelihood for themselves, so they immediately choose to go to the government to study.
There were masters who were good at iron casting and porcelain-making crafts, and they were also recruited into the government to teach students this skill.
Learning a craft is not that easy, and the cycle is long.
Chen Mu did not promote the establishment of the operation department in time, and only let the adults of the operation department plan and arrange steadily.
On the other hand, the women's protection offices in various regions also helped many women solve their problems shortly after they were established.
Chen Mu heard that in the pilot prefectures and counties where the government was established, many women left their original families and entered the government office, and learned the craft with the textile workers or embroiderers recruited by the adults in the government office, ready to find a way for themselves.
