Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chao Yong led his troops to patrol the grassland road. On August 1, they went south from the Hulunbuir grassland, took Hedong and Hebei and went south to Bianjing.

    A few days after Chao Yong set out from Hulunbuir, a major event happened in the Kingdom of Jin. Wanyan Aguda died of illness, and Wanyan Wu begged to succeed to the throne.  Wanyan Gao was promoted to Banbo Jilie (Crown Prince), Wanyan Aguda's eldest son Wanyan Zongqian was promoted to Khulubo Jilie (State Prime Minister), Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were prime ministers of the military affairs.

    The Kingdom of Jin also sent envoys to Daliang to express condolences.

    When he arrived at Yanshan Mansion on Hebei Road, Chao Yong received a gold medal urgent report.

    After reading the official document, Chao Yong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sure enough, we are not a peaceful nation."

    On the side, Shi Yong asked curiously: "Which nation dares to invade our Daliang?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Japan, which calls itself the land of the rising sun, dares to let international students spy on our Daliang Gunpowder Bureau."

    He originally wanted to wipe out Japan and solve the shortage of gold and silver in Daliang, but he didn't expect that Japan would find an excuse for him so quickly and save him from causing trouble.

    Shi Yong was shocked and said: "The Gunpowder Bureau is our forbidden area in Daliang. If the Japanese spy on the Gunpowder Bureau, aren't they afraid that we in Daliang will send troops to destroy them?"

    "This is a crazy nation. There is nothing they dare not do. Or they think the sea can stop us."

    Chao Yong has never had a good impression of this nation and is not prepared to leave a way out for them.  Immediately prepare a letter and have it delivered to the capital with a gold medal.

    Within a few days, the imperial court announced that Japan would send agents to spy on the Daliang Gunpowder Bureau and arrest all Japanese in the territory. The following year, Daliang would send troops to wipe out Japan.

    After this news was announced, all countries that wanted to spy on the gunpowder formula of Daliang canceled their operations for fear of causing national destruction.

    On September 10th, Chao Yong returned to Bianjing and went on an expedition to Banshi for five months.

    On the day of entering the city, the whole city was still greeted by civil and military personnel.  They didn't think that the prince had expanded his territory this time and acquired much land for Daliang. In their opinion, the north of the desert was a barbaric frontier land.  However, the capture of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom was an achievement worthy of national celebration. For more than two hundred years, the Liao Kingdom had been pressing against the Song Dynasty. Although it was called a country of brothers, the Song Dynasty had to pay tribute to the Liao Kingdom.  Coin, that was the shame of the Central Plains for two hundred years, and now it is finally avenged.

    This time the prisoner presentation ceremony was even more grand.  After three days of carnival throughout the city, Bianjing returned to its former rhythm.

    After Chao Yong led his troops to the expedition, the Central Plains was not peaceful either.

    After the vigorous extermination of religions, different drought conditions occurred in the north of the Yangtze River. Especially in Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, and Jiangsu, many places almost lost their harvest.  Many magicians took the opportunity to spread rumors, describing natural disasters as punishments from gods and Buddhas.

    Fortunately, the intelligence department and spies are all over the place. Once they find those who are making lies and misleading the public, they will all be arrested and executed in public.

    Thousands of heads have frightened people with evil intentions, and also made people in Jiangnan who wanted to hoard them give up their minds.

    There is a drought to the north of the Yangtze River, but the weather is smooth to the south of the Yangtze River, and no businessman dares to stir up trouble.  The price of grain in Daliang did not fluctuate greatly.

    The imperial court did not purchase grain on a large scale. In the second year of Tianqi, there was a bumper harvest in autumn. In order to stabilize grain prices, the imperial court purchased a large amount of grain.  Although the Liquor Bureau consumed a lot of grain, the imperial court's Changping warehouse still had a large amount of grain in storage.  As soon as grain prices in Tokyo fluctuated, the imperial court opened Changpingcang to suppress grain prices.  If there are big businessmen jointly making markets.  Purchasing the grain stocks released by the imperial court may also increase grain prices.  But Daliang kept his butcher knife raised.  No one dared to put themselves in danger, so the imperial court did not expend much effort to keep food prices stable. Residential homes and Anjiyuan in various places allocated large amounts of food to ensure that people everywhere could receive relief without having to leave their homes.

    The imperial court also sent a large number of censors to inspect various places to prevent officials from focusing only on political achievements and ignoring the people, and turning natural disasters into disasters.

    After the prisoner presentation ceremony, Chao Yong rested in the prince's womb, leaving Lin Chong and Lu Junyi to handle the affairs of the Ministry of War.

    After half a month of recuperation in the Taixue's womb, Chao Yong went to Taixue to teach physics.

    Compared with mathematics, the teachers and students of Taixue are more interested in physics. Almost everyone signed up to participate in Prince's physics class. In the end, Taixue could only select 200 students based on credits as the first batch of students to study physics.

    Using interesting experiments to reveal the inner laws of things, the teachers and students of Taixue quickly fell in love with this novel knowledge after being exposed to physics.

    After entering October, Chao Yong¡¯s life became busy.

    In the morning, I gave lectures at the Imperial College, in the afternoon I went to the Ministry of War to serve as a director, and in the evening I worked hard in the Imperial Palace.

    "Dad, ice, ice."

    Chao Yong was still sleeping soundly with Hu Sanniang in his arms, when Chao Feng ran in, pointing outside and dancing.

      When Hu Sanniang saw her daughter barging in, she couldn't help but flushed. She pushed Chao Yong away and said: "Keep your voice down, don't wake up my brother."

    Chao Feng and Chao Hongwen both lived in the pavilion behind Ruizhu Hall. They went to bed early at night and often got up at dawn.

    Chao Feng smiled and said, "My brother is also awake."

    "Father, mother."

    While talking, Chao Hongwen also stumbled in, his little face flushed with cold, followed by the palace maid who bent down to protect him.

    Chao Hongwen is the prince born to Hu Sanniang, but it was Chao Yong who got this name.

    After Chao Gai gave Chao Yong¡¯s eldest son and daughter the names Chao Long and Chao Feng, he felt that he couldn¡¯t think of any good names, so he gave the right to name them back to Chao Yong.

    When Hu Sanniang saw Chao Hongwen's red face from the cold, she couldn't help but reached out her hand in distress and said: "Hongwen, come and warm yourself up."

    When Hu Sanniang moved, her plump breasts were exposed to the air.

    Chao Hongwen, who had not yet been weaned, ran over immediately.

    Chao Yong also stretched out his hand and said to Chao Feng who was on the ground: "Come, daddy hugs you."

    When Chao Feng saw his younger brother going to bed, he also joined in the fun and ran onto the bed and got into bed.

    The two of them got into bed with their cold bodies, making Hu Sanniang shiver involuntarily.

    Chao Yong hugged Chao Feng and said with a smile: "Is the ground frozen?"

    Chao Feng shook his little head like a rattle and said, "No, it's because the trees are frozen."

    The weather this year is colder than in previous years. Chao Yong asked strangely to the palace maid who had not yet retreated: "Isn't it snow?"

    The maid respectfully said: "No, they are strings of ice skates. It rained last night and then they turned into ice."

    Hu Sanniang hugged Chao Hongwen and said, "Yu Mubing, it seems that this winter will be even colder."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Cotton has been promoted in the past two years. I hope no one will freeze to death this year."

    When Chao Yong led troops to resist Xixia in the first year of Tianqi, he discovered cotton in the northwest, and then promoted cotton cultivation in the Central Plains.  Coupled with the promotion of various technologies by the imperial court, cotton clothes and cotton cloth have become popular in Daliang. Cotton cloth is thick and cheaper than silk, and is very popular with ordinary people.  (To be continued)
