After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Although Yeli didn't like this high priest who had too much desire for power, he had to admit that the high priest would indeed get twice the result with half the effort when dealing with the tribal leaders who believed in gods and Buddhas and Changshengtian.

He couldn't help regretting: If the high priest was willing to assist Ben Dahan wholeheartedly, how good would it be?

As everyone knows, the high priest is also regretting in his heart: If Yeli Khan is willing to be a puppet in my hands, how good would it be?

Although the two monarchs and ministers have their own thoughts, at least for now, they still have a common goal, which is to get those tribal leaders who are clamoring to grab another wave of Daxia and run westward to put away this idea, obediently Let's collect money together, and let's go through the level in front of us first.

Yeli didn't want to move west because his own strength is not very strong. On the border of Daxia, with the support of Daxia, he can still get a breathing space, slowly annex those small and medium tribes, and strengthen the strength of the king's account. There will be a day when those chieftains will truly surrender.

If he moved westward, there was only one sentence for him - the future is uncertain.

The canonization of the Great Xia Emperor can't be controlled so far away.It is not impossible for several leaders on the way to become wolfish and jointly carve up his population, cattle and sheep.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yeli to agree to move westward no matter what.

The high priest also disagreed, and his reasons were more grounded.

The west is even more bitter and cold, and supplies are also very scarce.Even if the priest has a high status in the tribe, the best things must be used by the priest first.

But what else is there to enjoy when you go to the west?

Under such a trend of interests connected to himself, the high priest exerted [-]% of his usual power to fool Dafa, making everyone believe that it is best to surrender to Daxia according to Changshengtian's instructions. The way out, and moving west is undoubtedly to die.

After this matter is finalized, it is a matter of raising money.

Those sitting here are all the leaders of large tribes. When it comes to raising money, the first thing they think of is to squeeze the small and medium-sized tribes and plunder the small western countries.

Due to the tight time given by Daxia, all of a sudden, these tribal leaders who were always fighting each other and guarding against each other united unprecedentedly, and abruptly gave 500 million taels of silver within the time limit given by Daxia. That's enough.

This power made Yeli Khan and the high priest secretly startled.

——If they unite to seize power...

Some things cannot stand scrutiny.

At this moment, Yeli and the high priest made up their minds in unison: They must not be allowed to unite again!

******

The border area of ​​Xuanfu is one of the junctions between Daxia and Wala.The officials sent by the household department to check and accept the compensation were waiting in the Xuanfu.

This time, the one who escorted the silver taels was the envoy who negotiated with Chen Shangshu, named Er Sen.

It stands to reason that Ersen was tricked by Chen Shangshu so much, so he should be cold in Yeli's place.

But Yeli doesn't have many people available now, and he is still clever, so he let him pay off his merits and gave him another chance.

And the official of the household department sent by Shi Nai is not low in status, but Liao Yu, the left servant of the household department.

Ever since Shi Nai made great efforts to bring about the claim against Oirat, Liao Yu has been admiring Shi Nai in his heart.

Of course, he is a member of the saint, and the saint transferred him to the household department in order to mix sand with Shi Nai.

Otherwise, Hu Zhan, the right servant of the household department, was recommended by Shi Nai, and if the left servant was recommended by him, wouldn't the household department become Shi Nai's all-rounder?

As for the sixth prince who was originally in charge of the household department, after he shrank from collecting debts before the war, his prestige in the household department plummeted, and the saint simply transferred the sixth prince to the official department.

Liao Yu's significance in the household department was not only known to him, but also to Shi Nai and Hu Zhan.

Therefore, although Da Xia respected the right, on weekdays Hu Zhan, the right servant, always gave him a head, and Shi Nai, the minister, treated him very politely.

This time, when Shi Nai sent Liao Yu to Northern Xinjiang, he intended to let him make great contributions and establish a certain prestige in the household department, so naturally he would not let him do the job of handing over the money alone.

Among the six ministries, there are many doctors in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households.If only for the 500 million taels of silver, the Ministry of Households 23 Qingli Department, if you send a doctor at random, you can also complete the job.

Shi Nai specially sent Zuo Shilang here to negotiate a big deal with Wala.

"Big deal?" Ersen was tricked by Chen Shangshu once in the capital, and when he faced these white-faced scholars again, he felt a little apprehensive.

Therefore, he has reservations about the "big deal" in Liao Yu's mouth.

Since Liao Yu came, he was well prepared.He didn't say much, and directly took out a piece of white and soft fabric from his arms, handed it over, and asked with a smile: "What do you think of this thing?"

Er Sen stretched out his hand and his eyes straightened.

He's not a fool either, he's from an Oirat aristocrat, so he can definitely tell what's good or bad about things.As soon as he touched it, he knew that it was not only beautiful, but also very warm.

It's cold in the grassland!

Snowflakes are as big as a mat, in the grasslands and deserts, it is definitely not an exaggerated rhetorical technique.

That is realism, and there is nothing more realistic.

When the grass turns yellow in autumn, not only the cattle and sheep need to grow wool and fat for the winter, but people also need to prepare cattle and sheepskins to keep warm.

The Oirats are nomadic people, and their writing is not systematic. Even if many technologies are learned at a time, it is difficult to pass them on for a long time.

The technology of selling fur is in the hands of a few nobles. The herdsmen can barely scrape the fat from the wet sheepskin with a knife, let it dry, and just wear it on their bodies.

This kind of sheepskin is not conformable, let alone how warm it is.

The aristocrats can sell sheepskins, which is a little better.

But clothes made of fur, no matter how well they are handled, will still have a smell.Not to mention their technology isn't too great.

But now the piece of fabric Ersen holds in his hand is soft, warm and odorless.On top of that, it looks good.

"Master Liao, how do you sell this thing?"

Liao Yu smiled.

The doctors and principals of the household department who followed him saw this smile, and they all had the urge to retreat and stay away from him.

——No way, Liao Yu's smile is so similar to Shi Nai's before every time he tried to trick someone!The officials of the household department have seen a lot, and they have a psychological shadow.

Fortunately, they still remembered that this was the scene of negotiations between the two countries, and they forcibly held back that impulse.

However, they coincidentally lit a row of candles for Er Sen in their hearts.

——Your envoy, take care!We can only watch in silence.

Liao Yu smiled and asked without answering, "Does your envoy know what is this thing made of?"

"I don't know." Esen shook his head honestly, and kept kneading and caressing the piece of fabric honestly.

Liao Yudao: "The materials for weaving this thing are everywhere in Oala."

"hold head high?"

Er Sen looked shocked, "What is it?"

"wool."

wool?

Er Sen was taken aback, it really was everywhere.

When the sheep shed their wool in spring, when the wind blows, they will be all over the sky.

However, Ersen knew that since Liao Yu mentioned wool, he would definitely not be aimless.

"Master Liao means..."

Liao Yu had an open and honest look on his face, "Your envoy also knows that although there are farmers raising sheep in my Great Xia, there are not many of them. This kind of felt made of wool is not only liked by your envoy, but also by the nobles of our Great Xia. I like it. Based on my wool production in Daxia, the supply is really in short supply."

As soon as he said this, Ersen understood, "Master Liao means that you want to buy wool from Wala?"

"That's right." Liao Yu showed an approving smile, "Master Shi, the boss of our household department, feels that asking you to pay 100 million taels of silver every year is also a big burden for you. The saint is kind and wants to be rewarded. Yuer and others. Thus, Master Shi created a machine that can weave wool."

That's right, the wool weaving machine was modified by Shi Nai based on the existing weaving machine after he learned the science knowledge systematically.

No merit is spent, no energy is spent.

Sure enough, knowledge is power!

Ersen's heart skipped a beat, "Your device..."

"Don't even think about it." Liao Yu directly shattered his fantasy of wanting to buy a machine.

- Are you kidding me?With Mr. Shi's pissing nature, how can he let it go if he doesn't fry the bones of the Walabu?

Esen was very disappointed.

But he changed his mind: Wool is generally something that no one wants, and it is very annoying when spring comes.If the wool is collected and sold to Daxia, it would be a good deal.

At that time, if the wool is sold for money, can't we still buy wool felt?

The top priority is to report this matter to Da Khan as soon as possible. The sooner this deal with Da Xia starts, the better.

Liao Yu didn't say he could see through Er Sen's mind, but he could see [-]% to [-]% of it.He smiled slightly, thinking of what Mr. Shi said before, the smile on his lips became more obvious, but there was a faint coldness.

——The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit.If wool can make huge profits, the Nawara people will definitely raise more sheep in the future.

The pasture is only that big, so if we raise more sheep, we must raise fewer horses.There are fewer horses, so why fight?

Furthermore, if the nobles of Oala can obtain rare resources and enjoy things that they have never enjoyed before without fighting, how many of them will be willing to fight?

Liao Yu couldn't help sighing: Mr. Shi is really a talent of the country!

If in the past, Liao Yu still had a little prejudice because Shi Nai was not born in the imperial examination, now this prejudice can be regarded as exhausted.

——Practical talents like Mr. Shi should not be slowed down by the imperial examination to become an official.

The saint also nodded to Shi Nai's proposal again and again, thinking that it was very feasible.In addition, as Shi Nai said, [-]% of the profits gained from this matter can be allocated to the concubine, and only [-]% of the national treasury is required, and the saint will not be unhappy.

but……

"Shi Qing, is your account wrong?"

"Huh? Please ask the saint to clarify."

"Thirty percent of the daughter-in-law, thirty percent of the national treasury, and where to get the remaining forty percent?"

"The rest?" Shi Nai glanced at the sage, and said cautiously, "This minister, who came up with the idea, should get [-]% right?"

The saint nodded, "It deserves it."

The sage is not narrow-minded, he understands that if Shi Nai does it alone, it is not impossible.

After all, whether it is a machine or an idea, it is someone who came up with it.

But he didn't do it himself, but directly offered it up, which shows that he is impartial.

To be honest, only [-]% is given, and the saint still thinks it is too little.

Shi Nai showed that smile again, urging the whole family to stay away from him, and said with a smile: "As for the remaining [-]%, I want to ask the sage for the grace of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and allow the family to have surplus money." The officials of the company will invest in the shares, and then distribute dividends after earning money.”

The sage raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, "You're a fool."

——I knew that those civil servants would not be able to escape the debt owed to the national treasury sooner or later.
