Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It¡¯s already cold in Beijing in October.

    But the capital city of Shiwei, more than 2,000 kilometers northeast of here, is several times colder.

    "In Zhongjing City, if there weren't people cleaning the snow every day, I might not even be able to see the road.

    Not to mention outside Zhongjing City, almost all communication has stopped.

    All tribal villages spend the winter in their own houses and tents.

    In the era that Dakang lived in, the weather was much colder than in modern times.

    Zhongjing City is probably a little bit above Jilin, so it shouldn¡¯t be so cold.

    But in fact it is such a world of ice and snow.

    Of course, the closer you are to Zhongjing City, the more protection you have, including because the fortified city blocks the wind, snow and biting cold. Not only is life inside the city easier, but it is also not so freezing and cold outside the city.

    ¡°Besides, once you have a city, there will be more houses.

    You can build houses in the city, and you can also build houses outside the city.

    Building a house and living in a tent are two different things. A house can protect you from freezing to death in winter, but a tent does not provide much protection at all.

    In the past, herdsmen would sleep with their animals in their arms at night to ensure that they would not freeze to death.

    In today¡¯s Zhongjing City, even people who live in tents outside do so just because they like to be nostalgic. In fact, the tents are built next to their houses, so sheltering them from wind and rain is no problem.

    Let¡¯s focus on the palace.

    As the palace of Shi Wei, half of this palace is copied from Dakang's palace.

    Or it could be said to be a copy of the imperial palace in the Central Plains.

    Because the Dakang Palace was left over from the previous dynasty.

    However, this Shiwei palace still retains many of their ethnic characteristics in decoration.

    For example, the huge statue on a horse riding a horse looking south in the Palace Square tells their yearning for the warm weather and rich country in the south.

    Yelu Feiyang, wearing a big cloak, slowly walked into a small palace.

    This is the study room of Emperor Pingzhi of Shiwei Emperor.

    This is also the place where Emperor Pingzhi stays most often on weekdays. Many major decisions related to Shiwei are also made and resolved here.

    The eunuch removed the cloak outside, and Yelu Feiyang walked into the study and felt the warm atmosphere.

    There are several fire walls in the Imperial Study Room, and there are dedicated people who light the fires to keep warm.

    What is consumed is the best charcoal.

    There are centuries-old trees everywhere among the black mountains and white waters, and there are many thousand-year-old trees, so not only the nobles consume wood resources, but the common people can also.

    ?According to their population base, there will be no problem in using it for thousands of years.

    In fact, among the products Shiwei exported to Dakang, the most important and largest quantity was all kinds of wood.

    It¡¯s not just shipbuilding that requires lots of good wood.

    The wealthy people in Dakang also need a lot of wood to make various things.

    Various furniture, houses, sedan chairs, sculptureseven coffins are needed.

    Because the wood of Shiwei grew up in a cold place, the wood is very compact and hard, which is very suitable for making these things.

    Therefore, Shiwei¡¯s wood has always been sold at an affordable price, and Shiwei received too many good things in exchange.

    But now it¡¯s different.

    Any sensible senior executive of Shiwei knows that starting from this year, the trade with Dakang will suffer a huge blow.

    Today Emperor Pingzhi came to Yelu Feiyang for this reason.

    Yelu Feiyang knew what he meant and what he wanted to achieve.

    It¡¯s justit¡¯s not easy!

    He thought so as he looked at his father, who was already in his fifties but still in the prime of life, with eyes like an eagle.

    "Father!"

    Yelu Feiyang saluted and said, "My son is here!"

    "sit down!"

    Emperor Pingzhi, who was sitting on the carpet, waved his hand and said.

    Although this is a study room, it is very large, and part of it was built in the style of Shiwei's original nomadic era.

    ??For example, this huge rug made of black bear fur and the small table on it all look like they are in a tent.

    Yelu Feiyang took off his shoes and sat cross-legged opposite Emperor Pingzhi.

    "Has the army taken care of it?" Emperor Pingzhi drank the hot milk tea and said slowlyConservative, very conservative, always holding on to the things belonging to your ancestors?

    The royal family of Shiwei is actually the largest leader. They have the most wealth, the most horses, cattle and sheep, and the greatest power.

    ¡°But in the face of the current disastrous defeat, not only the court had to provide money and people, but also the royal family and those with real power had to come up with corresponding supplies, otherwise the court would go bankrupt in an instant.

    Therefore, Emperor Pingzhi said that this had hurt "the vitality of the royal family."

    Emperor Pingzhi was a very stingy person, and was reluctant to give money to others unless absolutely necessary.

    Yelu Feiyang did not answer first, but continued: "As for the people of the vassal tribes, we not only have to give money, but also livestock, and more importantly, we have to give them some personnel supplements. Only by satisfying them will they not be satisfied.  If they have more resentment, they will support us in the next plan."

    "Um?"

    Emperor Pingzhi heard an unusual smell.

    According to Yelu Feiyang¡¯s plan, this is definitely a huge expenditure!

    Even if Yelu Lishun brought back 70 million taels of silver and various materials and commodities no less than this amount, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

    And Yelu Feiyang is definitely not a person who wastes his own energy so crazily. He is not a deviant character at all. He is stable, serious and down-to-earth.

    This proves that he must have other plans that he has not mentioned.

    "Don't hide it, just finish it in one go!" Emperor Pingzhi simply ordered.
