Chapter 384: The Happy Life of Duke Dude
Wang Yue didn't say anything more in the end.
They can do whatever they like, at least not yet......
Of course, there will be no explicit refusal.
Let's continue to drag on this question first, fortunately, his age advantage is obvious, so although these guys will urge him, they will not urge him very tightly, they are more to let him see, they can already be said to be truly surrendered to him. To put it bluntly, it is actually just to show their loyalty, and all these warlords in the Western Army have this purpose, after all, these guys are currently warlords, and if they are warlords, they are afraid that they will cause Wang Yue's misunderstanding and then attract Wang Yue's blows.
They don't have any ambitions, they are very self-aware, and they know that this is the best way to go.
And the most important thing to maintain the current situation is to let Wang Yue not misunderstand them.
They're all smart people!
We all know how to do things.
Wang Yue then left.
There is nothing to do here, just lay out the layout in Xixia first, and after five or six years after this plan is launched, let the cotton planting area of Xixia exceed the warning line of grain before starting.
Use grain to create civil strife in Western Xia, and then the imperial court to settle the chaos in Western Xia.
In the final analysis, no matter what the relationship between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty was, it is now the official subject state of the Great Song Dynasty after all, and since it is a subject country, it cannot be too rough and can be resolved in a relatively good-looking way. In order to protect the Li family, the imperial court sent troops to quell the civil strife in Western Xia, and then in order to appease the people of Western Xia, the Li family moved inward and handed over Western Xia to King Zhongshan to take care of it.
It's nice to see.
Then the king of Zhongshan made a move, and the people of Western Xia lived and worked in peace and contentment again.
As for the Li family, as long as they go to the Great Song Dynasty to be a princess, they are still princes, and they will receive Yulu according to the standards of the county kings in the future.
This ending is much better than the original history of theirs.
As for Tibet in the south......
At this time, Tibet was already perfect.
Don't worry about it.
The real Tubo has actually been extinct for nearly two hundred years, the reason why it is called Tubo is just a habit, the current plateau is divided, it is a bunch of small countries of the old Tubo system of scuffle, roughly from Lhasa to Ladakh, it is really hard to say how many small countries there are, but it should not be less than ten, I have to say that this is also a mess to the limit.
After all, they're just that little population.
And the ones close to the Great Song Dynasty were originally those killed by Master Tong, and the core of Qingtang Tubo was originally Qingtang City, but now it has become Xining Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty.
Further south is Dosima.
But this is not a force name, but a simple geographical concept, in the Tibetan language, the Qinghai area is called Duo, and Sima is Xia, so the name means Xiaqing, which is roughly the Xingzhuhai to Qinghai Lake, and then eastward to the northwest of Sichuan. In the Tibetan worldview, the west and northwest are the top, the east and the southeast are the bottom, and the Xikang area is called Duosigan, but these are geographical names, in fact, there is no real country, just some nomadic tribes scattered in between.
Originally, they would continue to do this throughout history, and although the Mongols conquered the area, they only added more nomadic tribes to the area.
And the Ming Dynasty also continued to let them mess and nomadize.
For those chiefs large and small, there is no unified government.
Then because of poverty and backwardness, coupled with a special reason, their population became less and less nomadic, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were pecking each other's rookies, and there was already an army of seventy people, and the army of seventy people was actually a powerful force. Indeed, when the lords of Wuqi resisted the annexation of Baili Tusi, their total strength was less than seventy, and this powerful Baili Tusi was nailed to the sky like six stars like a hundred men and a hundred horses in folklore.
So don't laugh at the village wars of the Wa Kingdom.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the real village war between the tribes in Kang and Qinghai was the real village war.
They already have such a bright future, so there is no need to worry about them, after all, the era of Tubo has passed, their rise was just an accident, an accident caused by the warm climate, and now this state is normal, since this is the case, let them go on normally!
Normal is what makes them perfect.
Wang Yue threw down his guards at Longyou, walked alone to the post station to change horses, and returned to Kaifeng as fast as he could, but then went south.
Fuzhou.
"This is a nice place!"
Wang Yue looked at the wall in front of him, which was two feet high.
There is a raised part like a horse's face outside the wall, and then there is a rope ladder leading to a watchtower at the top, where there are soldiers looking boredly, and in front of Wang Yue, an official is holding a key to open the iron door in front of him, against the backdrop of the high wall, this small door is also two meters high, one meter wide looks more like a hole.
"Back to the king, it's not bad inside, the small ones take people in to clean every day, and they go out to buy their daily needs."
The official said with a smile.
With that, he pushed open the iron door.
Inside is a quiet courtyard, although it is not big but it is indeed neat, and there are even some flowers and plants, but there are no trees.
On the opposite side is the main room, and on the steps in front of the door sits a melancholy white-haired old man, looking at the sky with dull eyes, with a ha on the corner of his mouth, and his chest looks like a clear color anomaly because of the long-term soaking. However, his clothes were not patched, and he could barely maintain his image, as if he had not seen them coming, and still looked at the sky so melancholy, and there were several women beside him, who were in normal spirits, and immediately greeted and saluted as soon as the door opened.
Wang Yue waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary.
Then he walked straight up to the white-haired old man.
"Dude Gong, meet again!"
He said.
Well, this is Wu begging to buy.
The former Emperor of Dajin, and now the Duke of Da Song Dude, raised his head blankly and looked at him like Alzheimer's......
"Wang, this old thing is stupid, it was too hot last summer, and he was not used to it when he first arrived, he didn't know how, he was suddenly stupid by the heat, and now he can't recognize people, no one can recognize him, he sits like this every day, and sometimes he goes crazy, but fortunately, he was cleaned up a few times by the slave sisters, and he was honest."
A woman next to her bowed and said.
This is the former queen of the Dajin Kingdom, she must have followed Wu Qi to buy, and there are four other concubines who also follow Wu Qimai.
They are all obviously in good spirits, radiant, and very moisturized at first glance.
They can come and go freely, but Wu Qimai can't leave this small courtyard, and the five of them can leave as long as they want, and then go outside to do whatever they like, but their identities are still the wives and concubines of Duke Dude. For these women, coming from the ice and snow on the banks of the Songhua River to a prosperous city like Fuzhou, even if they have become prisoners, they cannot be regarded as suffering......
This is Fuzhou.
An important overseas trading port of the Great Song Dynasty.
The population alone has to be more than one million, but Fuzhou has more than 200,000 households.
Women!
Who doesn't love the hustle and bustle?
And although Wu Qimai has reached the realm of sitting in a well and watching the sky, he is still the duke of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Duke of Dude is also a duke, and he has a duke, so Queen Dajin and the four concubines are still very happy. They all have their own men outside, and it is said that many of them have improper relationships with these supervisors. As for poor Wu Qimai, since Alzheimer's disease, he has completely become a disgust in the eyes of these women, and he just wants to kick it when he looks at it.
But you still have to serve well.
can't let him die, because if he dies, the duke's salary will be gone, and his Duke's Dull will be paid according to the standard of the national duke.
Ten thousand households.
Thanks to Wang Yue's reform, all the titles of the food are based on real numbers, and there is no such thing as 2,000 real food for 10,000 households in the past, so he is 250,000 yuan per month, that is, more than 300 yuan. At present, the Guan of the Great Song Dynasty is still 770, after all, it has been used for many years, and changing it back to 1,000 will cause chaos for a short time, so Wang Yue did not change this 770 Guan.
More than 300 a month.
It's enough for five women to be merry outside!
At this time, the soldier's annual salary was only sixty yuan, and the Duchess of Dude herself also had a fate, and she herself also had a salary, and the price of Fuzhou was low.
As for whether Wu Qimai knows......
He's got Alzheimer's, what's the point of knowing?
"This is a disease, it has to be cured, no matter what you say, you are also the prince of our Great Song Dynasty, what does this look like? When I go back, I will go to the official's house and arrange for an imperial doctor to treat him, and if the money is not enough, my wife can also go to the official's house, which is really not good. ”
Wang Yue said.
Poor Wu Qimai is also a hero, and now this appearance is also embarrassing.
Duchess of Duchess hurriedly nodded and agreed, although it is definitely not possible to treat him, cure him, how can these women still be happy outside, what are you afraid of when the imperial doctor comes, it is a big deal to pull into the water, but with this excuse, it is still very good for the emperor to ask for some money, so that he can go out to find a few younger ones, and for a while Duchess and concubines are grateful to King Zhongshan.
"Okay, change into an official uniform for Duke Dude, wash your face, you can't go out like this to see off the soldiers of the expedition."
Wang Yue said.
Well, he came to see off the fleet that went down to the South Seas.
At this moment, the huge fleet led by Fang Qifo and others, including eight 500-ton warships, and 30 300-ton warships, plus 50 armed merchant ships, was already waiting outside the city. As for letting Wu Qimai see him off, this is, of course, Wang Yue's bad taste, and Wu Qimai was imprisoned in Fuzhou, so it was just a matter of letting him come out to see him off.
As a captive Emperor of Dajin, he sang and danced here to see off the expedition of the Great Song Dynasty sailors to Nanyang......
It's also a morale boost.
