Regarding the issue of the Eastern and Western Turks, Yang Guang's will was finally belated, and Pei Ju gave the idea.

Set up the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, with Deng Wei as the governor, gather the troops of Liaodong and Zhuojun, and attack the northeastern tribes such as Murowei, Jinya, Khitan, Xi, and Xi.

In fact, these nomadic tribes were originally subordinate to the Great Sui, but they also surrendered to the Turks, and they belonged to both sides to curry favor.

Because both sides often bully them, and they can't bear it.

Yang Ming had been worried that Pei Ju would have a bad idea to divide the Eastern Turks like in history, but fortunately he didn't.

Pei Ju is still powerful, Yang Ming didn't even think of this move, taking advantage of the gap in the beginning to the west, completely taking down the Northeast region, which is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of the Eastern Turks expanding to the east.

And these tribes are very easy to deal with, and they belong to the kind of tribes that will surrender as soon as they fight, but if they are defeated, the Great Sui will not spend a lot of effort to manage it, because it is too cold over there.

And the purpose of the fight is actually to include the vassal state in the territory, so in the future, the Turks can no longer regard this place as their own backyard, they can come and go whenever they want.

And how rich the resources of the Northeast are, Yang Ming is clear.

It was a brilliant idea.

Let's take it first, if you want to manage it thoroughly, it will take hundreds of years.

Therefore, in Yang Guang's will, he is already arranging what will happen after he takes it.

In the northeast, there are five prefectures, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate is in Pyongyang, Zhou Fashang is the metropolitan governor, the Liaodong metropolitan protectorate is in Liaodong City, and Deng Wei is the metropolitan governor.

After taking the Yao, set up the Aodong Metropolitan Protectorate (Jilin Aodong), with the leader of the end of the Aodong Metropolitan Governor, the Great Beggar Zhongxiang, as the Governor of Aodong, and then set up the Longquan Metropolitan Protectorate, with Agu Lang, the leader of the Heishui Department of the Yao, as the Governor of Longquan.

After taking the Khitan, the leader of the Khitan tribe, Dahe Cave, was appointed as the governor of the Songmo Prefecture (Linxi County, Inner Mongolia).

With these five capitals, the northeast is pacified.

And Pei Ju has already gone to Zhuojun in person to contact the three leaders of the Yan and Khitan tribes, so that the other party can willingly belong to the Great Sui, it must be much more affordable than a real knife and a real gun.

After all, the Ya tribe originally surrendered to Goguryeo, and Goguryeo was destroyed by the Great Sui.

"The granary of Zhuo County still has some food hoarded, which is enough to ensure that Deng Wei uses troops in the northeast, not to mention that Pei Ju has already gone, and with him, great things can be done," Yang Yue said after the small court meeting dispersed.

Yu Wenshu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The plan of the world, every time it is unexpected, who would have thought that he would make such an arrangement, if he didn't go west at the beginning, he would definitely not sit back and watch my Great Sui encroach on the Northeast, and now, the whip is beyond his reach." ”

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a person named Da Zuorong who established the Bohai Kingdom, he was the prototype of the Tang Dynasty Shuanglong Legend Li Bai Ziting, but there was a difference in time, the establishment of the Bohai State was the period of Li Shimin, in fact, the period of Li Longji.

The territory of the Bohai State includes Jilin, Heilongjiang, the northeast of the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East, and its territory is not small.

And Da Zuorong is the son of the current leader of the end of the Tatar Su, the Great Beggar Zhongxiang, and the ancestor of the Xiaxi Tai clan on the Korean Peninsula.

As for the Khitan tribe, during the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a rebellion in Yingzhou, and the two leaders of the Khitan tribe who took the lead against the Tang Dynasty were Li Quanzhong and his brother-in-law Sun Wanrong.

These two people's real surname is Dahe, and Li Qianzhong is the grandson of the current Khitan leader Dahe Cave.

And after Li Quanzhong was defeated, his subordinate Li Kaigu returned to the Tang Dynasty, and appeared a lot in Detective Di Renjie, because in history, this kid was almost killed at that time, and it was Di Renjie who saved him.

And Li Kai's son-in-law is called Li Kailuo, and the name is similar to the brothers, but it's not, why mention him as a son-in-law?

Because his son-in-law has a son, in quelling the Anshi Rebellion, he was known as the famous general Li Guangbi of the generation who "was promoted to the first in Zhongxing by military exploits".

They are all Khitans.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "You still can't be careless, this time the northeast is attacked, the focus is on Pei Ju, Deng Wei is just a pawn, if everything goes well, he can die of anger." ”

"Haha, I just want to be angry with him," Yang Xuangan smiled: "He definitely didn't think that we would set a fire behind his ass, I don't know if he will withdraw his troops after receiving the news?" ”

Yang Yue shook his head and said: "That's why Your Majesty sent the Tiger Talisman of Zuo Wuwei and Right Wuwei, and under the anger of Shi Bi, he may unite with the Western Turks and invade my western border, Your Majesty's foresight is convincing." ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to admire, the tiger talisman is there, but the requisition of the two guards army, no money and no food is in vain." ”

Cui Zhongfang said: "The money after the eldest grandson Anye raided the house, as well as the money subscribed by the other prison generals, has more than two million yuan, and it has been allocated down one after another, since this is the case, then it will be allocated to the left and right military guards first." ”

"This idea is right, they should be allocated first, in case something happens, they will go west," Yu Wenshu sighed: "I heard that the cotton cloth of Taifu Temple has been woven, and what the prince has learned in his womb is breathtaking." ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "When I was young, I had nothing to do, and I often read books, so you haven't seen the newly woven cotton cloth, right?" ”

"I haven't seen a new cotton cloth yet," everyone shook their heads.

Yang Ming got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Taifu Temple and have a look." ”

The official office of Taifu Temple is in the imperial city, where there is originally a royal dyeing office, and all textile equipment is available.

In fact, Yang Ming has never seen this ancient way of weaving, and today he also took this opportunity to see it.

In fact, he was even more surprised than Yu Wenshu and others.

The wisdom of the ancient working people is really amazing, the whole weaving process is very complicated, there are many processes, and every small tool has its great effect.

He hadn't seen anything but the big wooden bow that played cotton.

"Ding~~~Ding~~~~Ding~~~~Ding~~~~"

Playing cotton~~~Playing cotton~~~~ Half a pound of cotton is bounced into eight twos~~~~

It's a musical instrument.

Yun Dingxing followed a group of bigwigs and explained in detail step by step for everyone:

"This kapok spring planting autumn flowers, the first bloomer of the flower is picked day by day, when it is not taken, the cotton wool and the cotton seeds are glued together, so the ginning machine separates them, the seeds are taken and the cotton is taken, and the bow is bounced, and then the wooden board is rolled into long strips, spun into cotton yarn with a spinning wheel, and finally wrapped on the basket (yuè), spun on the cotton ingot."

Yang Ming observed the entire textile process, and his eyes were somewhat open, because he had never been exposed to this aspect in his previous life.

It looks like it's actually a strand of cotton threads tightly crossed together to weave into a cotton cloth, and this cotton cloth is very soft and has a good warmth effect.

If the cotton thread is thicker, it can be woven into a heavy cotton coat, which is more cold.

This is a good thing, in ancient times, wintering was like passing the test, with the cold artifact, the winter is not so terrible, because it can also be made into quilts.

"The cotton area is in the Yellow River and Jianghuai, so the weaving mill should be set up in these places," Yang Ming asked while observing: "Do you have a location?" ”

Yuan Shou hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, yes, Hebei is suitable for Qinghe County, Henan is suitable for Luoyang, Jianghuai is suitable for Jiangdu, Yuhang (Hangzhou), Wu County (Shanghai), and Danyang County (Wuhu). ”

Yang Yue frowned and said: "There shouldn't be too much in the south, but more should be added in the north." ”

Yu Wenshu hurriedly said: "Actually, it is very reasonable, textile is the most prosperous in Jiangnan, and the craftsmanship is also the best, not to mention that Your Majesty likes Jiangnan the most." ”

Yang Yue suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing: "Yes, yes, Jiangnan is good." ”

Yuan Shou smiled and explained: "In fact, the location is chosen because the weaving mills in Jiangnan are the most distributed, and they can weave cloth with only a little modification of the textile machine, although there are many weaving mills in Hebei, but they are not in the hands of the imperial court." ”

"The Cui family?" Yang Ming asked.

Yuanshou nodded.

"As long as you can weave cloth, kapok can also be sold to these folk weavers, don't we keep the seeds? How many years will it take, and there is no need to buy seeds? Yang Ming said.

Yuan Shou replied: "A plant can be planted with six seeds, and half of them will survive after planting, and at the current rate of expansion of the cotton area, it will take at least five to eight years." ”

"Then buy as much as we can until we have enough seeds," Yang Ming said.

Yuan Shou said: "The price of seeds has risen, our cotton seeds are all purchased in Gaochang, and now the Western Regions are in turmoil, and it is not easy for goods to enter and exit, and the quantity has decreased sharply compared with before, and the quantity is small and the price is high." ”

In any case, there is a fight on the Western Regions, so some caravans will definitely choose to suspend trade in order to avoid risks.

At present, the number of Hu merchants stationed in Beijing is very huge, and they know that there is a war in the northwest, so they dare not go back.

There's no way to fix it, and even if you encourage people to go back and buy the goods, they won't dare.

"Except for Gaochang, where else?" Yang Ming asked.

Yuan Shou said: "There are also some in the country of Guizi, but the price is higher. ”

"How much higher?" Yang Yue interjected.

Yuan Shou said: "A pound of cotton seeds is about five hundred gold. ”

"Let Yang Xuanting lead the troops to buy, buy as much as he can, let him advance the money first, and the treasury will return it in the future," Yang Ming said.

Yang Yue was stunned for a moment, if your old man wants me to spend money, just say it, what is not the cushion, I really dare to ask you for this money in the future?

Xuan Ting is his son, Yang Yue will hang up in the future, the family business is inherited by Xuan Ting, and his money is Xuan Ting's money.

Yang Yue hurriedly said: "The minister immediately sent someone to give an order, but what if Xuan Ting's troop transfer is misunderstood by the Eastern and Western Turks?" ”

"What's wrong with buying something?" Yu Wenshu smiled:

"If you are asked by the Turks, Xuan Ting can question the other party, you have disturbed the trade route, so I can't buy the goods, and you are embarrassed to ask me?"

Yang Ming waved his hand and said: "Yang Sili's worries are necessary, this depends on the person's character, Xuan Ting is straightforward and strong, and he is unwilling to suffer, if there is a conflict with the Turks, it is really not good, then say hello to Li Jing and let him stare at Xuan Ting and not mess around." ”

"This greeting is very necessary," Yang Yue said: "After all, I am in the capital master, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is most appropriate for the pharmacist to restrain me." ”

"Then it's decided," Yang Ming suddenly frowned: "He won't worry about me losing his money, and he is reluctant to buy more, right?" ”

"No, no, it's not bad for this money," Yang Yohaha laughed.
