Not many people in the court know about the situation in Xuanfu, except for the two saints and the cabinet and a few bigwigs in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, even if Jia Lian has secretly arrived in Xuanfu City and hung all the generals inside on the city gate building, few people in the capital know.

The operation of the imperial court will not change much because of a Xuanfu, except for the frequency of small court meetings, everything is in order.

It wasn't until Jia Lian's secret recital was sent to the emperor's dragon case that several cabinet ministers and the generals of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion began to have a toothache.

Because Jia Cong, this kid is in trouble again, there are not many disasters, but it really gives them a toothache......

Among the people in Xuanfu City who resisted Jia Lian's will to seal the city and purge the city, the number was the largest among the Tatars, but the people who liked to make trouble the most were more than 100 so-called merchants from Goryeo.

After a few days of trouble, Jia Cong was upset, and directly sent people to fight against the Qincha and disobey the holy decree, and cut off the brains of the 132 Goryeo people who were jumping around and hung them on the four gates of Xuanfu City.

With just this move, Xuanfu City immediately quieted down.

But what came came the reaction of the Goryeo side, the Goryeo trade envoy in Xuanfu protested, Jia Cong ignored it, and the people went east in a rage to send a letter, thinking that it would not be long before the letter of Goryeo should be sent to the capital.

Daxia is not afraid of the small Goryeo Kingdom, but this matter, Jia Cong did it too roughly.

Goryeo is also a vassal state of Bactria "respectful", and these hundreds of people are also nominal merchants.

The troublemakers are obviously the Tatars who make the most trouble, so why only chop the brains of the sticks? Da Xia, this is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?

The imperial court is now implementing a new law, and the internal affairs have not yet been straightened out, and the south has just been defeated. If there is another war in the east at this time, the imperial court is really a little powerless.

At least the financial pressure is a bit high, if only it could be delayed until next summer.

Daxia, which has money, people, and firepower, is as easy as a finger to push Goryeo.

It's a bit awkward at this point in time......

The emperor really feels a toothache, and he likes Jia Cong's method of cutting off his brain and melon seeds to deter his subordinates, but this frequency is a little too high......

"Tell me, how should we deal with it?"

The right to speak in military affairs is obviously inferior to that of the generals of the Governor's Office of the five armies, and the British Gongzhang Yue, the number one boss in the military, is naturally the first to speak.

It's quite troublesome, but the old man doesn't care.

I saw that the old man's face was quite relaxed, and he said meaningfully: "If the old minister is not mistaken, the Qin of the imperial court went to Goryeo to announce the decree, so that they can decide on their own to withdraw the feudal domain and set up a county, and it has dragged on for a long time." It just so happens that we might as well take this opportunity to test their plans. ”

Ha?

The generals were okay here, and several cabinet ministers didn't react for a while.

The teacup in Zhou Jiong's hand trembled, if it weren't for the fact that the situation in Xuanfu was indeed sudden, he suspected that Zhang Yue and Jia Cong had colluded before, which was deliberately provoking a side provocation in order to give credit to Wuxun's side.

And war again?

"Zhang Gong, there are only less than 10 million taels of silver left in the household department, we still have to prepare to support Anbei, the Western Regions, and Southern Xinjiang, and we also have to guard against Xiyi, shipbuilding, firearms, each of which will cost a lot of silver......"

This is not Zhou Jiong's objection because of the civil and military disputes, in military and political affairs, the current cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies are still very united.

What he said is the true situation, the imperial court is really overstretched now, especially overseas, there are very likely foreign enemies, and the imperial court has to guard against it.

Zhang Yue smiled slightly, nodded and said, "What the elder said is reasonable, but the elder seems to have forgotten that the imperial court does not only have a treasury in the household. ”

After such a reminder, Zhou Jiong and the others also came to their senses, and they all turned their eyes to the stunned emperor.

The emperor only felt that his teeth hurt even more, and he pointed to the civil and military forces in the hall aggrievedly, and said sadly: "You ...... You guys...... I want to fight the autumn wind again! ”

……

Xuanfu City was finally quiet.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were accustomed to the brains hanging on the four city gates, except for the two Goryeo trade envoys who jumped to their feet, and even the Tatars who had danced happily before kept their mouths shut.

Unlike the rest of the officials in Great Xia, the Jia family does not have few truly benevolent people, and there is no psychological burden at all when it comes to cutting people.

Not to mention the sticks!

After Jia Lian finished sorting out the guards outside the city, he hurried back to Xuanfu City.

As soon as he entered the room, he grabbed Jia Cong's neck and said, "It's okay, what are you doing cutting the Koreans?" Don't forget that it was one of the non-conquests set by Taizu, that is, the saint was disgusted by Goryeo at the beginning, and he did not send troops to conscript. provoke side provocations, do you think that you have a comfortable life and want to find excitement? ”

Jia Cong, who was being held by the neck, shrunk his neck and lifted up the things that had been prepared a long time ago: "Now, second brother, let's take a look at this first?" ”

Jia Lian glanced at it, immediately let go of his hand, grabbed the piece of paper and frowned and read it carefully.

It turned out to be the Goryeo who colluded with the Tatars to plot intelligence on Liaodong.

The source of this information is very strange, it was provided by a Tatar merchant in the city.

"Warat and Ryukyu were merged into Bactria and now southern Xinjiang has also been defeated. Goryeo felt threatened by the imperial court, and the Tatars were similar. These two families don't want to be phoenix tails, they have to be their chicken heads, they have long been secretly colluding in the Xuanfu, communicating with each other, and planning to take advantage of the main energy of the imperial court to attack Liaodong this winter while it is still in southern Xinjiang. ”

Jia Cong handed over a wad of paper on the table and explained: "Tatar is different from Goryeo, which is a typical centralized power, but Tatar has large and small tribes. The Tatar Khan was bent on fighting against Bactria to preserve his power and glory, but the leaders of the other tribes did not think so......"

This thing is still very simple, Gu Lu wants to be his Tatar Khan, and he doesn't want to have an extra father on his head.

However, the other tribal leaders of the Tatars enjoyed the great benefits of trading with the Celestial Empire in the exchange with Great Xia.

The huge Celestial Empire market allowed the herdsmen of the grassland to exchange wool, beef and mutton for sufficient grain, salt, precious ironware, silk, tea and so on.

Coupled with the vitality that burst out after the annexation of Warat into Great Xia, these tribal leaders, who had been oppressed by the sweat tent, saw a new path.

That is to form a good alliance with the Celestial Empire, and even officially incorporate it into Great Xia, just like Warat.

Anyway, it's all about being a son, who is it for or not?

The Celestial Empire can also bring them great benefits, allowing them to enjoy a refined and rich life, what is the use of following the bones? Are you starving and freezing to give away your head?

After they noticed the dealings between the Khan Tent and the Goryeo, the minds of the tribes closest to the Celestial Empire came alive, and then there was a secret matter of sending information to Jia Cong.

It just so happened that at this time, Jia Cong was troubled by the Tartars and sticks in Xuanfu City, and he began to cut his brain in a fit of anger.

In order to prevent accidentally cutting the wrong person, I cut down the people of the Tatar tribe who were interested in the Heavenly Empire, but fortunately, I boiled the stick in a pot.

Not to mention, if this knife is cut down, the entire Xuanfu will be cleaned up a lot.

In the few days that Jia Lian did not come back, Jia Cong's people had already contacted several tribes who wanted to surrender.

The secret agents of the Dragon Janissaries on the Tatar side also sent news that the secret collusion between the Tartars and the Sticks was true, but it was not only these two countries, but there were other forces involved.

Jia Lian quickly finished reading the information at hand, his brows furrowed, and he asked after a long time: "This matter is very troublesome, what do you think?" ”

"With the current national strength and military strength of Great Xia, it is not a problem to hang Tatar and Goryeo to fight, but this time is not very good."

Since his family knows about his own family affairs, and his father-in-law is the head of the household, Jia Cong is very aware of the huge financial pressure in Daxia.

Again, the stall is too big, and it is really powerless for a while.

However, this matter is not impossible, the household has no silver, which does not mean that the court is really poor.

Not to mention anything else, the emperor still has tens of millions of taels of silver in his pocket, and Daxia is now a strong country and a rich people, as long as the wealth of the people can be mobilized, it is not too much of a threat to the world.

According to Jia Cong's rough estimate, the current chicken farts in Great Xia account for at least 40% of the entire world, which is still a minimum estimate.

Of course, this matter still depends on the meaning of the center, especially their emperor who is searching......

"Let's send these to the capital first, this matter is too big, we can't specialize in it. By the way, second brother, I think we can take these traitorous businessmen first! ”

……

The changes in Xuanfu did not affect other places, and Daiyu and his entourage, who had gone out of Beijing to inspect the prefectures and counties of Beizhili, had arrived in Baoding Mansion, which was adjacent to Shanxi, in mid-winter.

After the group arrived in Qingyuan County, they settled in Baoding Mansion, and Daiyu first took Tanchun and Baochai to inspect the expenses of Baoding Mansion.

"Huh? Sister Lin, you see, the situation in Baoding Mansion is far better than that of other state capitals, and a girls' school has even been set up. ”

As soon as Baochai opened the account book, he saw a unique part of this account book.

Among the schools recorded in the account books, there is an extremely bright school name: Yizhou Chunyuan Women's School.

What's new, the dynasty actually has a school dedicated to women.

You must know that in the many states and counties inspected by Daiyu and her entourage, less than one percent of the female students are enrolled, and there are more than 100 female students in this Chunyuan Women's School, which is really unexpected by everyone.

"I'll look at ......"

Daiyu and Tanchun both came over, and the three of them flipped through the account book, and the surprise to them was not this one, there were already four women's schools in the entire Baoding Mansion, with a total of more than 370 students.

Moreover, these women's schools not only have financial allocations from the imperial court, but also several gentry and businessmen who donated money to support their education.

According to the records in the account books, these four women's schools were all donated by the gentry of various states and counties to teach women's poetry and books, women's red, etc., not only in accordance with the rules set by the imperial court, exempted from tuition and book fees, but also provided free room and board.

Moreover, the state and county yamen signed contracts with these gentry and merchants who donated money to study, and after these women completed their studies, those with poor families could work in these shops and showhouses if they wished.

"Applying what I have learned, this Baoding Mansion really surprised me."

What is her purpose in promoting compulsory education? It's not that I want the people to learn something and apply what they have learned.

Unexpectedly, the hundred-year plan had just begun, and Baoding Mansion gave her a big surprise.

The thought of blossoming so quickly made the smile on Daiyu's face even sweeter. She pointed to a women's school in the account book, and said with a smile: "This Mancheng County is not far from Qingyuan County, let's go and see the style of the women's school in a few days." ”

……

On the third day of the lunar month, the snow in Gyeonggi finally stopped.

Daiyu and his entourage, who were delayed by the heavy snow, left Qingyuan County under the congratulations of the officials of Baoding Mansion, and slowly went north to Mancheng.

After a four-day trip, Laba finally arrived in Mancheng County. County officials such as Fan Bi, county Cheng Pei Zhongyong, and other county officials, as well as the old gentry in the city, had already received the news and greeted them in front of the city gate.

The princess's honor guard and the 1,000 forbidden troops guarding the phoenix chariot brought a lot of pressure to the people of Mancheng County, even if the winter was cold and shivering, no one dared to complain.

This princess is not born to the emperor, but she is more noble than her own.

One of the fathers is the emperor, and the other is the God of Wealth in Great Xia.

Not to mention that the future father-in-law of the family is a forgiveness lord who has no taboos, and he will not suffer too much trouble if he annoys the emperor and the rules of the country, and if he annoys this one, it is really too late to cry.

You don't see, the Jia family protects the shortcomings, and they like to smash the eaves of other people's houses and beat people with their fists.

Before Feng Yuan stopped, Fan Bi led a group of officials and gentry to step forward quickly.

"The ministers (grass people) greet Her Royal Highness Princess Wen'an, Her Royal Highness Jin'an."

Snow Goose lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing a red crown dress embroidered with a phoenix pattern.

Daiyu's soft voice came out of the carriage: "Everyone, please get up, this winter is cold, and I am tired of waiting for you here." ”

Fan Bi bowed down and responded: "This is what the ministers should do, His Royal Highness ignored the winter cold and fatigue, and inspected Gyeonggi for a hundred years, and the ministers admired it......"

The snow melted and took away a lot of heat, and the weather was even colder.

After everyone exchanged a few words in front of the city gate, Feng Yuan was welcomed into the city. The place of Mancheng County is not big, but fortunately, there are rich businessmen in the city who donated their own gardens, and Daiyu and his party were welcomed into it to live temporarily.

Daiyu rejected Fan Bi's proposal for a reception banquet, and only invited county officials, priests, and a few elders to dine in the garden.

In the next two days, Baochai and Tanchun were responsible for checking the account books, while Daiyu went to the county school and the city academy to inspect in person.

After these processes were completed, the three of them made an appointment with Fan Bi and went to the women's school in Mancheng County to inspect the hall with their classmates.

The biggest difference between the women's school and the general school is that it not only teaches poetry and books, but also teaches women's red, weaving and even cooking food, which is a combination of culture and technology, which is an eye-opener for the three of Daiyu.

Fan Bi also invited several gentry and businessmen who donated money to the women's school to accompany Daiyu on the inspection.

Daiyu personally met with these gentry and businessmen, and even promised to give the prince a reward after returning to Beijing, and the Ministry of Rites would award a reward, which was an affirmation of their good deeds.

Originally, Daiyu was still very happy to be here, and the seeds planted not only sprouted, but also bore fruit, which was really a happy event.

But that night, she received a secret report from her own soldiers.

There seems to be something strange in the women's school in Mancheng County, a student died in the well in the school accidentally, and his parents were imprisoned in the county prison......
