If Mingyu started to deal with the new batch of sheep calmly, the emperor in the capital would soon be turned upside down by these old-fashioned people.

As Xiao Honglang expected, the imperial court reacted greatly to Ming Yuruo's appointment as an official, and some of the old officials left behind by the former emperor were the first to bear the brunt of it, and some were even so excited that they were about to bump into the pillar.

"Your Majesty! The law of the ancestors is immutable! This woman has never been an official since ancient times. Isn't it a shame for the Holy Majesty!" The veteran who said this almost pouted excitedly. Obviously, even if the emperor faced The appearance is already very ugly, and it can't stop the old minister's determination to die.

The emperor looked at his eyes with a grumpy face. The court was full of noise, wishing to drag them all down and cut them all down. It was just a matter of conferring a woman as an official, and it was not without merit that they were rewarded for nothing. What are these guys doing?

The emperor now goes to the court every day, and the first book must be to refer to him making Ming Yuruo an official, scolding the emperor's Ming Yuruo, and even King An's.

This trend intensified, and even the folks began to set off an upsurge in writing satirical poems. When some people in the court even scolded the words of the chicken Sichen, Wang An's rebuttal finally arrived.

The emperor laughed out loud after reading it, and threw the booklet down for them to circulate. The ministers who opposed it opened it and read it. The booklet written by King An can be summed up in one sentence.

'When will rewards for meritorious deeds make the adults in the court so violent? '

The ministers were about to refute by citing the classics, but they were interrupted by the emperor.

After the emperor finished laughing, he sat seriously on the dragon chair, and said to the officials in front of him: "King An's meaning is what I mean. When will you be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and you will be so aggressive?"

"Impeachment papers these days have almost flooded my study room. I opened them one by one, and I found that they were all impeachment of a woman who served farmers in the Ming Dynasty. She was not allowed to be an official. Some papers scolded me as a foolish emperor through the ages, everyone. My lord, what an official authority?"

"The cloud sheep raised by the servants of the Ming Dynasty can prevent anyone from frostbite in the entire border in winter. May I ask you adults, who of you can do it?" Speaking of the emperor standing up from the dragon chair, he said with cold eyes.

"I just want to use the matter of serving farmers to express my opinion to the world. I dare to use women, so why not use them!"

Following the emperor's words, the ministers below knelt down and shouted long live, and some ministers who were not convinced were also pulled down by their colleagues to kneel together.

"Instead of making an official for a little girl and jumping up and down the court all day long like a cockfight, you should pay more attention to the Huns at the border." Looking at the minister who was obviously subdued below, the emperor nodded in satisfaction , Throwing a notebook in front of these ministers again.

It is not uncommon for the Xiongnu to go to the border towns to thresh grain and grass every winter, but what is different this time is that the Xiongnu came so many times that the border towns could no longer support them, and they began to ask for supplies from the capital.

After reading the excerpts, one of the military ministers came out and said: "My lord, since the death of the old Xiongnu king, the new Xiongnu king has obviously become much more irritable, and according to the Huns' spies, this There are rumors that the Hun king is very greedy, and it is even said that he will not spare the sheep of the herdsmen, such a Hun king is very likely to do such things as frequently harassing the border."

Speaking of this, the Minister of Military Affairs paused, and said with some hesitation: "I found that almost all the border cities close to the Xiongnu in the booklet have battle reports of being harassed by the Huns, but there is no border city where King An is located. Is it King An's defense method, or Marshal Xiao..."

Looking at the minister of military affairs throwing at him, "If the emperor has any defense methods for the border marshal, he should hurry up and say it." ', the emperor silently avoided his sight.

He coughed and skipped the topic. After all, if he really told the truth, the Minister of Military Affairs might be the first to hit the post.

The minister of military affairs also followed the emperor's will to skip this topic and began to report on the next situation, but he was still silently curious, what kind of means did King An have?

Emperor: I can let you know that the reason why the King of the Huns did not harass the border city where King An is located is because he was doing business with the Huns. Did the King of the Huns let go of his purse and my small treasury?

-------------------------------------

Chu An, who was far away at the border, sneezed, which made Commander Xue beside him nervous for a while, wishing to bring Chu An back to the warm room immediately.

Chu An waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and then looked at the sheep in front of him. These sheep were the last batch sent by the Xiongnu merchants.

The Hungarian businessman proudly told Commander Xue, who went to get the goods, that he could just ask him to buy sheep in the future. This time he persuaded many tribes to raise sheep together, and the sheep this time were provided by those tribes.

The Xiongnu merchant also said with emotion: "Thanks to you people from the Central Plains who came to buy sheep, this year our sheep don't have to be taken away directly by Shan Yu, and the remaining money after paying taxes can also lead a warm year."

Commander Xue was silent for a while, and looked at the Hun merchant's tent, obviously he had obtained so much money because of the transaction, but he could only live in such an old tent.

It appears that the Hun King's reputation for greed was not groundless.

But now the sweaters of border soldiers are still important.

Commander Xue and the Xiongnu merchant said: "The Central Plains will not need so many sheep next year, but you can sell wool to the Central Plains. Now the demand for wool in the city is very high, and the price is very fair. If you want, you can even sell sheep to the Central Plains in spring." The sheep are led to the city, and then brought back after being shaved."

The Xiongnu merchants followed the price quoted by Commander Xue, calculated with their fingers, and found that raising sheep and selling wool was more cost-effective than selling sheep directly. As for Shanyu wanting to take away their sheep?

"The money after selling the wool is enough to pay taxes. Shan Yu took away their sheep because of insufficient taxes." The Xiongnu merchant thought optimistically, but Commander Xue, who is familiar with history, looked at it with extremely complicated eyes. He glanced.

The higher-ups want to raise taxes for you, but it's just a matter of saying.

The Xiongnu businessman took Yang and Commander Xue to the border city together. Commander Xue concealed his identity. The Xiongnu merchant thought that Commander Xue was just an ordinary businessman working under King An.

However, where the Xiongnu merchants did not notice, Commander Xue was observing the surrounding terrain at an extremely fast speed, and recorded the iconic landforms on parchment with a carbon pen.

Commander Xue, who returned to Border City, sent off the Xiongnu merchants, and Chu An was able to come out.

"The number of sheep is enough for the frontier now," Chu An said thoughtfully, "next year the Xiongnu will sell wool directly, and this wool will be supplied to the soldiers at the frontier. After all, the wool is rough and the cost is low. It can be provided by the Generalissimo at a low price, and he won't be too distressed."

Chu An walked while talking, and when he was about to get into the carriage, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums in the distance attracted his attention.

"What's going on with Commander Xue?" Chu An asked curiously, Commander Xue was also ordered to check first, and Commander Xue came back with a rare gentle expression.

"Back to the prince, one of the veterans you recruited before is getting married."

-------------------------------------

Mao happily walked in front of the ox cart, leading the ox cart and the bride covered with red ribbons on the cart to their new home.

He never imagined that a disabled soldier like him would be able to marry a wife and live a normal family life. Originally, he thought that after retiring from the army, he could be a full-fledged ghost, which was already a great gift from God to him up.

But when he entered Wang An's factory, his life was changed. At the beginning, he had some money on hand, but Mao Da didn't like to drink like other colleagues. All that was spent in the tavern.

General Mao slowly saved money these months. He wanted to build a house in the surrounding villages and marry a wife, but he didn't tell his colleagues, and he also felt that these two ideas were a bit whimsical.

Not to mention how much money is needed for a house, just want to marry a daughter-in-law, with his handicapped hands, who would marry him?

However, sometimes, looking at a person really doesn't care that much.Mao Dahe and an employee of the textile factory caught sight of each other. The girl ran away from home. Her father was a scholar, but he was old-fashioned. In order to make up his mind, he promised his daughter to a man who was old enough to be his grandfather to fill in the house.

The girl didn't want to, so she ran away from home, and spent a few days living in the open air, but luckily Bianguan City improved a lot after King An came, so the girl was able to persist until the day when she heard the news of her death at home.

Since then, the girl gave up her mind and only called herself an orphan. After being hired by the textile factory, she was also very diligent and literate, but she was promoted to the team leader within a few months.

The girl has a flamboyant personality, and after she and Mao Da met each other, they expressed their feelings openly, but Mao Da hesitated instead, after all, the girl is so good, and she is not worthy of others with such a disabled appearance.

Worried, Mao found out the monthly money he had saved. He was surprised to find that the money in his hand seemed to be able to build a new house. girl.

And on the day when the new house was completed, Mao Da also formally called a matchmaker to propose marriage to the girl.

As the ox cart stopped, Mao Da also pulled out his own thoughts from the memories, happily hugged his bride and got off the ox cart. Just after the worship, a voice came from outside.

"When Prince An came back to the city, he happened to see a happy event here, so he let the little one come to feel happy. I wonder if the master's family can make it easier." A gift box.

Chu An asked the chief of the palace to go to rejoice. After all, this was the first happy event for the veterans after they came here for a year, and it also meant that the soldiers after Border City finally had no worries.

Chu An turned around and wrote this matter in a letter to his royal brother.

Although Chu An originally told his imperial brother that he had taken in some veterans, the emperor did not expect that his family Ping An would do such a good job.

"Among the nearly 200 retired soldiers, 153 chose to settle at the border, and one got married..." Although the data seems inconspicuous, the emperor knew that as long as the development continues, sooner or later the entire Dagan soldiers will have no worries. .

The emperor immediately replied to the letter. Along with the letter, there was also a plaque inscribed by the imperial pen with the words 'Weiguofang' on it.

This plaque was hung high on the gate of the workshop, and all the veterans who saw this plaque had red eyes.

And Chu An was looking at the letter. In the letter, the emperor not only praised Chu An for his job in arranging the veterans, but also specifically emphasized that Chu An must return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year.

'I don't mind letting Marshal Xiao lead the people himself. 'Looking at this threatening sentence, Chu An understood that it was really impossible not to go back now.

"Lord Ming, are you going back to Beijing with the lord this year?" Ming Yuruo who just got out of work was a little dazed looking at the maid in front of her who asked her.

Capital city, recalling the past experience now, it makes Ming Yu feel as if she has passed away.

"Of course I have to go back," Ming Yuruo said with a smile while busy with the sheep in her hand, "I have to go home to worship the ancestors this year."

Her good stepmother and good sister are still waiting for her.

After thinking back, Ming Yuruo fell into deep thought as she looked at the sheep in her hands that had been cleaned up by her subconsciously and was bleating at her.

Ming Yuruo: ...Is this almost cost-effective?
