The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 830 Prepare for an operation (1)
"Fixed the pirates?" Wei Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll hand over the soldier talisman and accompany you and the children to live a clean life for two years."

"But in the future, you will have a high position and power. Even if you step down from the title of governor of the Southwest Navy, will those people really believe you? Will you be suspected of being a big fan?"

"I only care about the military and don't care about government affairs. There shouldn't be such a problem."

"But what if father is no longer the chief minister of the cabinet?"

"That depends on who will be the chief assistant. If it's Mr. Zhou Ge, it should be fine. But if it's someone else...it's really hard to say." The changes in the political arena are also bloody, and People's hearts are unpredictable, and political battles are even more terrifying and ruthless than real battlefields.Thinking of this, Wei Zhang couldn't help frowning.

Since arriving in the southwest, he seems to have been too focused on the military and ignored the battles in the court.He thought that as long as his father-in-law was firmly in the position of chief assistant, he would be able to deal with the thieves in the Southwest, but he didn't expect that if his father-in-law was no longer in that position, he would become the target of public criticism if he held military power.

"Let's find a way to let the emperor start the war in the southwest in advance. We need to shift the focus of the court." Yao Yanyu whispered.

"It makes sense." Wei Zhang nodded slightly.

On the sixth day of February in the fourth year of Jinglong, Wei Yiyi's little girl's third birthday, on the school field outside the west gate of the Dayun Imperial Capital, the battle flags were fierce and the horns were loud.

In response to the repeated provocations of the Uyghurs in the West and the countries in South Vietnam, the emperor issued an order to send troops to the southwest.

He also appointed Han Entrope, Duke of the Township, as the commander in chief, Zhou Chengyang, the prince of Yongyi, as the deputy commander, and He Xi, the general of Zhaoyong, as the vanguard officer.Jinghai Hou Xiaolin was the grain and grass supervisor.Transferred and merged the West Daying Camp in the capital, one hundred thousand elite soldiers in the North Day Camp, and 20 troops stationed in Huguang, Sichuan and Shaanxi, and went south in one fell swoop to pacify the southwest.

This battle was not considered special in the history of the Dayun Dynasty, but it was talked about by later generations because of one incident.That is the daughter of Prince Chengyi, Princess Jiaping Yunyao went to the southwest with the vanguard officer General He.

When the news reached Hangzhou, Yao Yanyu was gnawing on the pastries handed over by her daughter, and she choked on the food, coughing for a long time before recovering.

At this time, she still didn't know that Yunyao performed very well in this battle. She made a total of seven military exploits and killed more than 300 enemies. Therefore, after two years, the squadron returned to the court, and the emperor bestowed the title of General Mulan .

Princess Yunyao became the first female general in the history of the Dayun Dynasty, and fought more than a dozen battles in the next few decades, with numerous military exploits.And became the only princess in the royal family who never married for life.

There are mixed opinions on her in later history books, but no matter what, her name is deeply remembered by the descendants of Dayun.

Tea flowers bloom, spring is getting old.The lotus is fragrant, and the long summer is coming.

In front of the bright and clean Xiaoxuan window, Yao Fengge took off the white velvet flower on his temples in front of the vanity mirror, and replaced it with a red gold hairpin inlaid with emeralds.Three years after Su Yuxiang passed away, the white gauze plum blossoms were an indispensable decoration for her temples.

In the past three years, she has lived in seclusion and quietly expanded the business of Renjitang Pharmacy step by step. Jiangning, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Gusu, and even Huguang, Fujian and other places have established branches one after another. Seven provinces south of Jinhe She has already occupied [-]% of the pharmaceutical industry outside of Yundian and Western Jin Dynasty.

"My sister's complexion is getting better and better." Yao Yanyu chose a string of red musk bracelets from the jewelry box and gave it to Yao Fengge.Today's Yao Fengge is less depressed than before, and has a bit more mature charm. In addition, she was originally a rare beauty, and now she is even more magnificent.

Yao Fengge raised his hand to caress his jade-white cheeks, and said with a light smile, "I'm in the business of medicinal materials, and I don't lack prescriptions for maintenance, how can it be bad?"

Yao Yanyu turned her head and glanced at the maid beside her, and ordered everyone to back down with a wink, then said in a low voice: "The news from the capital said that the princess of Hengjun died of illness, and the king of Hengjun played the emperor, asking his son to be the prince, and I Go to the fief to cultivate."

Yao Fengge was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "I've heard that too."

"Sister, what are your plans?" Yao Yanyu asked again.

"What plans can I have?" Yao Fengge smiled helplessly, then shook his head again.

Yao Yanyu sighed softly, and said with a smile: "Don't you know that the fief of Prince Heng is in Dongling?"

Yao Fengge nodded: "I know."

"Judging from Tanglin's geographical environment, this place will be prosperous in the future. I want to set the main hall of our pharmacy there."

After hearing this, Yao Fengge couldn't help looking up at Yao Yanyu, and said for a while, "I don't think Dongling's geographical environment is so good. Although the pirates have stopped in the past two years, it can't compare with Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"What if the emperor revokes the ban on the sea?" Yao Yanyu asked with a smile: "My sister is familiar with history books, and she should know the prosperity and prosperity 200 years ago. Yes."

Seeing that Yao Fengge didn't speak, Yao Yanyu continued: "If you want to calm down the pirates, you must solve the problem fundamentally. Only by setting up a sea ban and opening a treaty port to allow businessmen from all countries to trade with the Dayun Dynasty, can the pirates completely submit to the court and return to the court. The people along the coast live in a peaceful and prosperous world. I don’t think my sister should understand this without saying much.”

"Even if the emperor revokes the ban on the sea, what does that have to do with Dongling? It's just a first-class county, and it's incomparable to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Jiangning in terms of workshops and commerce." Yao Fengge asked in bewilderment.

Yao Yanyu chuckled and said, "However, where can we build a deep-water port and berth large merchant ships? At the same time, the Qingjiang River connects Jiang, Zhejiang and Ningxia. It will definitely be the largest trading port in the Dayun Dynasty in the future."

Yao Fengge fell into silence upon hearing this.Naturally, she didn't understand these before, but in recent years she has been in charge of the pharmacy business, and knows which overseas merchants like the silk, porcelain, tea, etc. of Dayun Dynasty the most.And these foreign businessmen seem to have endless silver in their hands.

The price of the same piece of silk and satin sold to overseas merchants is twelve times that of domestic sales; tea and porcelain are even more expensive. This spring, because the pirates were repeatedly attacked by Wei Zhang, they had to return to the islands on the sea to rob those islanders. There is no way to rob the people of Dayun, those foreign businessmen can't buy these things at all, they have already charged thirty times the domestic price, just want to buy top-grade tea and porcelain from Jiangnan tea merchants and porcelain merchants in private .

Thinking of this, Yao Fengge smiled softly, patted Yao Yanyu's hand and said, "I don't understand those big situations, and I listen to my sister for these big things."

"Okay." Yao Yanyu nodded with a smile, "Suhang Drug Administration is on the right track, and my next goal is Dongling. Sister, get ready to go with me."

Yao Fengge nodded lightly: "Okay."

Three months later, the Qingjiang River entered the sea.
