Chapter 1404
It is no secret that the Imperial Government Department was included in the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Government Department. The question is when the best time to be included in the direct jurisdiction has always been the focus of the debate. At the beginning, the empire was still fighting in the Indian and German areas, and the calls for the turning of the Imperial Ministry and the Solian Ministry to become directly subordinate counties were once high, but the concern that the Hyderabad people had overreaction prevailed, so it was put on hold.
Now most of the Western Indian and Germans are under the hands of the empire. After the Battle of Xize, it is estimated that it will be a matter of time before the Southern Indian and Germans are included in the control of the empire. In this case, it seems natural to include the Paozha and Solian tribes, which have already fallen into the direct management of the empire. Many classes and forces have already made large-scale investments in the Indian and Germans, especially the imperial financial aristocracy who have reached a compromise with the central government, and the abundant gold output here is the most coveted by the financial aristocracy, and the local wealthy class that has accumulated for generations or even dozens of generations will also become a huge customer resource for the banking industry. The business community has also entered the mining, smelting, processing, cotton textile and other industries in the Indian and Germans region. Using the extremely rich and cheap labor force in the Indian and Germans region to build industries on a large scale, it has achieved considerable profits.
The Tang clan's first-loan interests and the local vested interests of the Indian and De'an formed a huge group of forces. It was precisely because they tried every means to move around the imperial capital, lobbying representatives of the Senate and the Citizens, generously donating to support influential civil society, inciting celebrities and literati to write articles and talk to create public opinion offensives, and frequently put pressure on the Imperial Government Council, which caused the current situation of being in a difficult situation.
In fact, Xiao Tang had always hoped to include the Pangzha and Solian Ministry as soon as possible in the jurisdiction of the empire. In his opinion, the opportunity for these two places was actually ripe. It should be a natural thing to change the county and the local forces of the two places, and it will only win the support of all parties and local forces of the empire. In addition to the declining Hyderabad people and the so-called Indian and German Kingdom, which may issue some unpalatable protests, which can be almost negligible and will not have any substantial impact. Including these two places in the central government, the increasingly prosperous economy of these two places can not only provide a broad market for industry and commerce in the empire, but also the special industries of these two places can also provide a great source of tax revenue for the empire's finances. In addition, the empire can also use the good performance of the economic development of these two places to establish a glorious image for the other Indian and German departments, laying a good foundation for the empire's next westward expansion.
However, all this must be approved by His Majesty the Emperor. Xiao Tang had already sent the secrets of the two places to His Majesty the Emperor who had been on vacation and summer vacation in Gusu. His Majesty the Emperor should have replied to him, but he had not responded for a long time. The second official document had been sent for three days, and it was said that it should be in the hands of His Majesty. Xiao Tang had no idea what His Majesty the Emperor was considering.
The problems considered before should no longer exist now. The taming of the Luobei people actually cut off the last illusion of the Indians and Descent, surrounded by the empire, the economy became increasingly integrated, and ethnic exchanges and integration became more frequent. The northwest county has become faintly the largest settlement of the Indians and Descent, except for the Indians and Descent, the proportion of Indians and Descent has accounted for more than 30% of the population in the northwest, and Central South County and Burmese have also become the new hot spots for Indians and Descent, and the intermarriage between the Tang and Indians has become the most common intermarriage.
At the same time, a large number of Tang merchants and industrialists settled or placed their second families in various cities in the Indian and German regions. The beautiful and enthusiastic Indian women have become the first choice for wealthy Tang merchants and industrialists to take concubines. For example, Kashhar, Jaipurdu, Reed, Hailum and other cities, there are dozens of weddings for Tang merchants to marry Indian and German women as concubines. In particular, the "Imperial Property Inheritance Law" has a series of civil law laws involving property rights, financial rights and other civil law.
The application of the empire protected land has made the phenomenon of Indian and German women marrying into Tang families even more rapid. The customs and habits that mostly bear the cost of Tang marriage is especially popular among poorer families of all ethnic groups in India and German families. Not only do they avoid a large amount of dowry, but they can also enjoy inheritance rights and children born to them. This has become the most important factor for women of Indian and German ethnic groups to choose Tang tribes more. The close blood-related and in-law relationship will become a major bridge for the increasingly frequent exchanges between the two tribes in the future.
It was in this situation that Xiao Tang believed that the conditions for the two places to change counties were fully ripe, but before His Majesty the Emperor's official order arrived, he could only deal with external public opinion in an extremely vague or even slightly negative tone to avoid other adverse consequences due to misunderstandings.
When Wufeng received the second official letter from the Imperial Government Council, he was leisurely immersed in the water and mountains of Gusu, and was happy to see Shu.
"Zi Qin, the green waves are water from east to west, south to north, and 390 red railings. The waterscape of Gusu is indeed well-known. I have been here for a week and it feels like a white horse passing by. Time flies, I really want to live here forever." Wearing a light shirt, half-open the folding fan, and a jade hairpin, Wufeng at this time has no emperor's majesty and domineering spirit, and has a bit of the romantic and suave style of a literary scholar.
"You will see you when you come to Gusu, and they will be sleeping in the river. There are few leisure places in the ancient palaces, and there are many small bridges in the water port. The night market sells lotus roots, and the spring boat carries silk. I know the moonlit night, and lovesickness is in the fisherman's song. Your Majesty, Gusu Prefecture City has been known to be moist since ancient times. Whether it is literati or gentry, all are proud of the waterscape and gardens here. The waterscape comes from nature, while the garden is purely artificial, and the two complement each other." Su Qin was obviously very satisfied with this job of accompanying. He worked hard all year round and could have a moment of leisure. Although there were more constraints around Wufeng, it was always better than the imperial capital to work hard all day long.
"Haha, is this the treasure bridge known as the first bridge in Gusu?" Wufeng swayed his folding fan and sat on the bow of the boat and looked up.
"That's right, there is the mouth of Dantai Hukou. If you are on a bright moon night, you can see the wonders of "Songyue". There is a poem that says: "The hairpin of the phoenix head hairpin on the Yaotai, and the jade belt lies on the water to reflect the green moss; when you watch the Mid-Autumn Moon Night, fifty-three holes are reflected. The bridge has fifty-three holes, and it has been five hundred years. It is said that the local officials stepped down from office to donate their official uniforms and sold them. It was built by many Gusu silk merchants. After 500 years, it is still standing upright. It is really a treasure of Gusu." Su Qin's face showed a memory expression, "Twelve years ago, I had traveled here and was fortunate to see the wonders of the moon. It was indeed beautiful. This feeling and scene makes people feel uneasy."
Looking around, the guards at the stern of the boat all looked serious and looked vigilantly at the movements around them. There were more or less ships following them, both far and near. It was the most difficult to guard against such boats in the water. Although Your Majesty was traveling in a condom, no one could guarantee that the news was leaked. Your Majesty had experienced many assassinations. The calmer he was, the more murderous intent he often hid.
Wufeng did not think as much as the guards beside him. He had been staying in Gusu for a week and had not alarmed local officials. Even the governor of Jiangnan Wang Zongxi did not know Wufeng's whereabouts. He only knew that the emperor was still staying in Jiangnan. The specific one in the seven palaces was unaware of. Apart from instructing the government to tighten the inside and loosen the outside and strengthen public security patrols, he could only let it go.
"Zi Qin, have you read Xiao Tang's letter? It seems that the imperial capital is in a turbulent mood, and I have a lot of opinions about Solian and the village of the siege." The cool breeze is faint, willow branches are drooping, cicadas are singing, insects are hiding, and the boat is walking on the water, which is particularly elegant. Wufeng lies comfortably in the chair at the bow of the boat, and moves his body comfortably and says casually.
"The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, and all for profit. The so-called anger is just the expression of the voices of some vested interests. Solian and Wuzhan are just rich in gold, which is enough to make countless people salivate, not to mention that Solian is still one of the most important cotton textile bases in the empire. No place can be compared with the gem and jade processing and slave trade empire. Driven by such huge interests, whether it is the Senate, the Civil Court, or the Civil Society, how can they not wave the flag and shout? If they are not included in the formal administrative division of the empire, the protection of interests is always in the throat. If it is not stable, it is no wonder that they have spared no effort to fully public relations."
Su Qin smiled slightly. Even if he was in Jiangnan, he had never stopped. There would always be people who came to find out the news in a roundabout way. I believe that the Emperor and His Majesty were not at ease. As far as he knew, there were also some of His Majesty's concubines who had more or less related to the interest groups in the two places.
Wufeng also heard something in Su Qin's words. The other party was right. Even Leng Ruoxing, who had never asked about such mundane things, came to inquire about this matter indirectly, which really surprised Wufeng. Later, Leng Ruoxing shyly talked about the Tianshan faction and jointly invested in a gold mine in the East Indian De'an, that is, the Pangzhe tribe area. The other party was very concerned about whether the empire would include the Pangzhe tribe in direct jurisdiction, and repeatedly asked himself to inquire about the truth and truth. The word "profit" was enough to make everything give way.
