"Minister, take the order!"

"Minister, you will live up to expectations!"

Sun Chuanting, Fang Kongzhao, and Lu Xiangsheng received the holy decree in the envious eyes of the ministers.

After this stimulation.

Zuo Guangdou obviously felt that the ministers were more motivated to study!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Huang Xiao followed Zhang Yan to the Qianqing Palace.

"Niangniang is decent, easy, mature in thinking, admire!" Huang Xiao praised.

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If you don't flatter me, I'll just change it, no problem!" ”

Huang Xiaodao: "Niangniang has a unique vision, check and fill in the gaps, I deeply admire, I made a mistake, my previous arrangement is indeed inappropriate, and it is indeed a bit too much to let Sun Chuanting manage Xuanfu and Shanxi Province alone." ”

Zhang Yan glanced at Huang Xiao: "Nothing to do, do you have anything to say?" ”

Huang Xiao smiled and said, "No, I really compliment, that is, I asked Liu Cheng to hold an investment conference in Zhangjiakou, and I want to invite Niangniang to attend this conference." ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Huang Xiaodao: "Originally, I wanted to hold this investment conference in the commercial building of Dahuangzhuang, but the idea is very good, but the popularity is not good, the business atmosphere is not enough, alas, the people and money, such a beautiful building, now it can only be put first, this loss has to be recovered, the situation in Zhangjiakou is different, the businessmen over there are strong, you can come first." ”

Zhang Yan nodded.

Huang Xiaodao: "First, you can make money, and you can also promote the steam engine, promote the development of the steam engine, and in addition, you can also drive trade with the Mongolian ministries, in short, there are many benefits, in addition, I want to bring the power of this great victory, convene all the ministries to discuss major matters, and try to surrender the army without a fight!" Solve the Mongolian border trouble! For such a big event, the mother must come forward!

Also, I saw that my mother was in a bad mood during this time, and I also wanted to let my mother go out for a walk, this is my little thought, but I didn't expect to be recognized by my mother. ”

Zhang Yan's heart warmed, nodded, and said, "Okay, since you have such a good reason, I'll take a trip, you look at the arrangement." ”

Huang Xiao smiled, took out two pieces of paper and handed them over.

"Niangniang, this is designed by the minister for the trip to Xuanfu, take a look."

Zhang Yan took it, stunned, "What's the use?" ”

Huang Xiao said vividly.

Zhang Yan nodded, "Okay." ”

Huang Xiao smiled: "The minister will let people send it over first, Niangniang, the minister has retired." ”

Since Huang Xiao left, the corners of Zhang Yan's mouth also showed a smile, this dog thing came to tease the palace if it was fine, and she became more and more bold.

Immediately, she remembered His Majesty's affairs and Huang Xiao's imminent marriage with her sister, and she felt upset for no reason.

……

In the eighth year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1529 AD), Zhang Zhen opened a small gate in the north city wall, called "Little North Gate".

Because the door is as small as a mouth, and it is opened by Zhang Zhen, it is called "Zhangjiakou".

Zhangjiakou is located in the northwest of Hebei Province, bordering Shanxi Province in the west and southwest, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the north and northwest.

During the Ming Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Wanjin Dusi, adjacent to Shanxi Datong Mansion, since Liu Cheng exterminated the eight Jin merchants in Zhangjiakou, he took control of Wanjin Dusi and the nine-sided important town Xuanfu!

Laiyuan Fort (Zhangjiakou Shangbao) was built on the Great Wall, and after the realization of the Longqing Peace Conference, it became a place for border trade between Ming and Mongolia.

Out of the still existing defensive mentality, it was stipulated that the Mongols were not allowed to enter the border wall, and the Han people were not allowed to go out of the border wall, so such a closed city circle fortress was built as a market.

The Fuyi Hall was the seat of the Ming Dynasty's reception and exchange of Mongolian nobles who came to the market to do business, as well as the seat of the official institutions that managed the horse market.

Further south is Zhangjiakou Fort (Xiabao), which is now the old town of Zhangjiakou City.

The Longqing Peace Conference achieved social peace in the northern Shanxi and Zhangjiakou regions, and at the same time, the emergence of the horse market brought about border trade against Mongolia.

Shanxi itself is a province with a large population, and Zhangjiakou is the closest to the Saiwai area of southern Mongolia, occupying the convenience of being close to the water.

Therefore, a large number of Shanxi merchants came to Zhangjiakou, which caused the prosperity of Zhangjiakou and allowed the Jin merchants to accumulate a lot of wealth.

Monan Mongolia mainly occupies the Hetao area, because it is located at the southern foot of the Yinshan Mountains and a large Qingshan Mountains, which is located south of the 400 mm isoprecipitation line, so it is a good agricultural area.

The main way of survival of Shanxi people who "went to the west" was to engage in agricultural production in the Hetao area.

Of course, the time to go to the west exit has to be pushed back many years.

At this time, Liu Cheng, in accordance with Huang Xiao's arrangement, cancelled the institution of Fuyi Hall and changed it to the Commercial Bureau.

Restrictions on the Mongols were also lifted.

A large open trade market was newly built outside the side walls.

Because of the proper strategy, coupled with the strict management of the transaction between the two sides, the trade is more fair and reasonable, so that although Liu Cheng's means of exterminating the eight major families are ruthless, but the prosperity of Zhangjiakou is more than in the past!

At this time, the Zhangjiakou Commercial Bureau is also full of people coming and going, and it is extremely lively.

Yesterday, the governor of Xuanfu posted a notice, saying that it will be held five days later, the investment conference will be held to promote the steam textile machine, and then the Empress of Daming and the Marquis of Zhongyi will take the divine beast to the investment conference!

As soon as this news came out, the entire Xuanfu and even Shanxi were suddenly sensational!

First of all, Governor Liu opened a textile factory in Zhangjiakou, which was a daily income and a lot of money!

Cardigans are popular in local and Mongolian ministries, and they are in short supply!

There are also many merchants who buy and resell them to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, which are sought after and earn a lot of silver!

So much so that the merchants who squatted at the door of the textile mill every day were in droves.

And the situation of the textile factory in Yansui Town is also very hot!

This has to do with the cold weather, the warmth of the cardigan, the beauty of the weaving and other aspects!

Now, Governor Liu said that he wanted to promote steam looms, and powerful businessmen estimated that they would also open a factory, and then the money would roll in.

How they don't make a splash!

Moreover, the news that the Empress of the Ming Dynasty drove the imperial expedition in person, burned Shengjing, and recovered Liaodong has spread all over the local area at this moment.

Everyone is extremely curious about this, and many are skeptical.

When I heard that the queen mother and the Marquis of Zhongyi were going to come in person, and they came in a divine beast.

Not to mention these merchants, even the Mongolian tribes, and even the surrounding people, are a sensation!

The Horqin tribe, the Chahar tribe, the Tumut tribe, the Urat tribe and other large and small tribes all heard the news, and even Lin Dan Khan sent his henchmen over.

In addition, Huang Xiao asked people to notify all ministries to come over in advance, yes, they are all heavyweights, and they can also represent the positions of various ministries!

For a time, Zhangjiakou was overcrowded and lively.

When the various departments came, they naturally brought a large number of cattle, sheep, wool and their own specialties.

Naturally, the merchants did not let go of this opportunity, and also brought tea and other materials for trade.
