After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner and celebrating the New Year, Su Xuanming lit the fireworks and firecrackers sent by Yunzhou!

The fireworks shot straight into the night sky and suddenly exploded under the darkness, like thousands of pear trees blooming!

"These are the fireworks that Xiao Nanxi sent! They are really beautiful!"

"Except for the Imperial Palace, the fireworks in our mansion are the most beautiful in the entire Kyoto!"

Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers all over the city, a year passed by.

The next day, Cui Sanlun took Su Xuanming to visit his friends to wish them a happy new year.

Cui Sanlun originally wanted to take Su Yunyan with him, but Su Yunyan refused.

Su Yunyan sat in her study, with a map of the Great Zhou hanging on the wall.

On this map, Yunzhou is marked in red.

That's where A Niang is.

In addition, the two routes from Yunzhou to Kyoto are also marked in red. These are trade routes that have been opened.

One of the strips runs through the entire Xiangzhou!

Today, the Song family of Xiangzhou is like a hollow hole. To outsiders, it is still the famous Song family. Only the people of Xiangzhou really know that there is only one Song family member who can really call the shots, and that is Governor Song!

"Mother, my brothers have started to act! I will not let you down!"

In addition to "The Secret Cookbook", A Niang also gave herself a book called "Thirty-Six Strategies". There is a sentence in this book called "Sneak into Chencang"!

Currently in the Great Zhou, the only way to deliver messages is through post.

According to the speed and type of things delivered, post offices can be divided into two categories: official post offices and private post offices.

Most of the messages transmitted by the official post were military intelligence, important documents, and the emperor's orders.

Most of the items delivered by the private post stations were letters, oral messages, etc.

Couriers delivering urgent military intelligence could travel 500 kilometers a day.

As for the civilian post station, it basically takes two months to get from Kyoto to Yunzhou, and there is no guarantee that it will arrive on time or that it will not be lost.

There were very few civilian post stations, and at most they delivered to Kyoto and its surrounding areas. Most people asked acquaintances or caravans to deliver letters.

Su Yunyan drew a few lines on the map.

The Baida Post Station that Su Yunyan established this time is intended to expand across the entire Da Zhou, with the goal of ensuring that there is a Baida Post Station in every state and county!

This is a long project.

But Su Yunyan is confident that she can do it!

Su Yunyan did not make this decision on impulse; instead, she already had a plan in mind.

The entire Baida Station is centered on three points, namely Yunzhou Funing Town, Kyoto, and Hangzhou!

There are seven lines in Kyoto!

The first route starts from Kyoto and ends at Woye Town in Yunzhou! It passes through Jingzhou, Huizhou, Lanzhou, Liangzhou, and Guazhou along the way!

The second route starts from Kyoto and ends in Lingnan, passing through Xiangzhou, Ezhou, Hongzhou, Jizhou, and finally Nanjun!

The third route starts in Kyoto and ends in the southwest.

The fourth route starts from Kyoto and ends at Fuming Town in Yunzhou. This route will run through the two counties of Hezhong in Henan and connect to Shuozhou!

Article 5, Article 6...

Su Yunyan picked up a pen and started drawing a route map.

These seven routes are enough to cover the entire Great Zhou!

Next up is the overseas route!

With Hangzhou as the center, radiating to Ryukyu, Japan, and Southeast Asia!

The north is centered on Fuming Town, heading north to the grassland, west to the Western Regions, and from the seaport of Yuyi Town, you can travel to Goryeo by sea! This will reduce the blockage caused by the severe cold in the north to the commercial land.

Su Yunyan superimposed the route map she had drawn with the current official post map!

The map I drew clearly shows that the radiation area is wider and denser.

But that's not all! A Niang's ambitions are much bigger than the map she drew!

Su Yunyan lowered her eyes, hiding the burning flames in them.

If that day really comes, my Baida Post Station will be transformed into the blood vessel for my mother to transmit military intelligence!

The world's situation and all the information in the world will be in A Niang's hands!

This might also be the reason why Wen Yuyuan went to Yunzhou!

There is Wen Yu in the north, I have myself in Kyoto, and Shu Yao in the south.

Take the point to lead the whole and achieve comprehensive development!

Su Yunyan took a deep breath, walked to the window and pushed it open.

One could vaguely hear the occasional sound of firecrackers outside the mansion, as well as the laughter of the people.

Behind this peaceful, stable, happy and tranquil life, the Yunzhou cavalry fought bravely in the wind and snow! It was A Niang, a woman, who carried the backbone of the entire Great Zhou!

If you don't let me down, I will serve you till my death.

If you betray me, the Gu family will protect the country and be loyal to the people, not the one sitting on the throne!

With a cold face, Su Yunyan threw the picture she had drawn and the letter sent by Song Zhizhou into the brazier, and they turned into a wisp of flame and flying ashes.

The Gu family had three generations of loyal people, but A Niang is the only one left.

If this court cannot even tolerate my mother, it would be better to change the world and write a new chapter!

"Young lady! His Majesty..." The servant was panting, his face pale, obviously frightened and angry.

Su Yunyan's heart sank, wondering how this young emperor would cause trouble for others on such a great holiday!

"Take your time. Don't be anxious. The sky won't fall."

The servant panted and spoke very quickly: "It's all over the streets. The emperor wants to sell the official position!"

"So that's what it is. It's okay! The practice of selling official positions has been going on since the founding of the country." Su Yunyan sat down.

The practice of buying and selling official positions existed in every dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty simply made it public.

"The key is that this time His Majesty said he wanted to raise funds for Yunzhou, so he sold the official position!"

Su Yunyan stood up quickly.

This is nonsense!

When Lord Niu wrote a memorial to the emperor complaining about his poverty, he didn't get a penny.

How could His Majesty have a change of heart and decide to allocate funds to Yunzhou?

This is clearly an attempt to make money under the guise of supporting Yunzhou!

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty is now very wealthy. If they want to sell official positions, they must find a reason and excuse. Isn’t Yunzhou the reason?

Your Majesty can make a lot of money and also tarnish Gu Nanxi's image among the people!

Sure enough, this matter became a hot topic among the people.

"This time the Emperor is being ruthless, he wants five thousand taels for a seventh-rank military selection officer!"

"This is still without real power, just a title!"

"Come on, it's great that I can buy you an official position with money. If it were during the time of the previous emperor, there would be requirements for family background."

"I heard that this time they sold the official positions because of Yunzhou's affairs! It seems that the various tribes on the grassland are dissatisfied with Yunzhou and the general, and they have united and are not going to sell wool to Yunzhou. Yunzhou can't make money and can't cover military expenses."

"I've said it before, the general is taking too big a step, and sooner or later he will collapse! He shouted the slogan so loudly at the beginning, but in the end, he still has to rely on the court to back him up, right?"

Song Da frowned and retorted: "How do you know that Yunzhou has no money? Have you read the letter written by the general himself?"

"How could what came out of the palace be false?!"

Song Da curled his lips: "There are so many things in this world, real and fake, fake and real, who can tell the difference? Don't be so sure, or you'll get slapped in the face!"
