No one expected that after Li Chenan took Pingjiang City, the first person appointed would be Huo Chuanming from Huo Mansion!

No one expected that he appointed Huo Chuanming as Jiangnan Weaving.

But Wen Zhuoyu and others know.

The intention behind the Regent's arrangement is not very complicated in Wen Zhuoyu's opinion -

"The Jiangnan Weaving Department is the top priority of the entire Jiangnan Road business!"

The Palace of Political Affairs, the Cabinet Chief Auxiliary Office.

Wen Zhuoyu poured a cup of tea for the Secretary of the Secretariat, Qi Yao and the Secretary of the Secretariat, Nian Chengfeng, and said:

"According to the national policy set by the Regent for the next five years, his intention is to promote the development of industry and commerce in Gangnam Road..."

"Jiangnan Road has the best business foundation, the most mature business environment, and the best business contract spirit in the entire Ningguo."

"The Regent said that as a pilot of this national policy, the court should learn how to let go from the reform of Jiangnan Road, how to provide the best services to industry and commerce, and how to pass on the management experience of Jiangnan Road to the other four roads, and then cover the entire Ningguo."

“Experience is important!”

"But he said that the change of ideas is more important!"

"Official, it's not a matter of control!"

"The more you manage, the harder the development of industry and commerce will be!"

Wen Zhuoyu looked at the two of them in surprise and smiled and said, "Is it difficult to understand?"

"In fact, this is our inherent thoughts that limit our imagination and our vision."

"The position of Jiangnan weaving is very important. The Regent said he needed an official who could execute exactly according to his ideas..."

"In other words, his appointment of Huo Chuanming as Jiangnan Weaving is not to say how rich Huo Chuanming has business experience, but just that Huo Chuanming is obedient. Everything he did in Jiangnan Weaving Department was actually the instructions given to him by the Regent."

"He said that judging from the current business situation, he does not need these officials to have many innovative views. They can implement his plan in full, and that's the best..."

"As for the effect, we will see it in about one or two years."

After a pause, Wen Zhuoyu did not talk about this matter again, but looked at Shangshu Ling Qi Yao.

"I have already told you about Concubine Li's thoughts. It's okay to have the third prince Ning Zhiyuan be Prince Jing. But the fief is in Quanzhou... I personally think it is not suitable."

Qi Yao was stunned, "Why is Quanzhou not suitable?"

"That place is south of Lingdong Road, far from Kyoto. Lingdong Road now has the Shenwu Army of the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion. Concubine Li and the Third Prince are there, so it is safer!"

This safety does not refer to their life safety.

But Ningguo's security.

The eldest son of the emperor returned to the throne and became emperor, and the third prince was far away in Quanzhou. It was not that easy for Concubine Li to do anything.

But Wen Zhuoyu said:

"But Quanzhou is not far from the East Island!"

It is not easy to enter Beijing in Quanzhou, but it is easy to go to Dongli Island when you go to sea!

Dongli Island is the ancestral land of Huai Duke Huai!

That place is lonely overseas, and in fact, Ningguo has no binding force on the Dongli Island!

Even the Ningguo court today does not know what the Dongli Island is now, how many people and soldiers are there.

etc.

"In my opinion, this is a big danger!"

"Ship ships from the East Island can enter the Yangtze River... can be from the Yuguang Grand Canal to Kyoto!"

Qi Yao was shocked, "I have indeed neglected it. Where should I put that fief?"

"Think about this, the Wu delegation is about to arrive... the reception from Honglu Temple is just lukewarm or hot."

"Do you want to go out of the city to greet me?"

"I don't need you and I. Just ask Li Wenyuan, the young minister of the Honglu Temple, to bring a few officials there."

"Will this... seem too contemptuous?"

Wen Zhuoyu waved his hand and picked up the teacup, "They were not welcome at first, so how could they be despised?"

"I think the regent's words make sense."

"What's the matter?"

"Measure the material resources of Ning's country and make the favor of the country... This kind of thinking is either stupid or bad!"

"According to his intention, the Wu delegation must pay us food and accommodation fees when they arrive."

"If you remind the Ministry of Honglu Temple again. If the Wu delegation does not pay the bank... let them stay in the inn!"

Qi Yao was shocked, he stroked his long beard and widened his eyes and looked at Wen Zhuoyu-

Not only Ningguo, which has been three hundred years ago, has never been like this before, but it has never happened!

The visitor is a guest!

As a country of etiquette, this is a tradition.

Of course, guests must be entertained with great pleasure and the best things to serve!

This demonstrates the magnanimity of Ningguo as an orthodox civilization of the Central Plains, and the wealth of Ningguo's land and wealth... Even if it is not rich, it must be shown in front of outsiders.

This is called face!

Even when these envoys from other countries left, the emperor would give great rewards to show his kindness.

This has formed a fixed reception process in the Ministry of Rites.

Eat, drink, laugh, and even give a beautiful girl.

In short, you must accompany you well, and in short, you must not let the guests suffer any grievances.

But now Li Chenan has come like this...

"Will people look down on me?"

Wen Zhuyu raised his eyebrows, "I think people come here and look down on our Ningguo!"

"The Regent said that weak countries have no diplomacy. We are now the weak countries in the eyes of other countries!"

Qi Yao pondered for three breaths: "Since it is a weak country, shouldn't conflicts be avoided?"

"That's the reason, but the Regent means that if you take a step back, you will take countless steps. It's better not to retreat. Anyway, we are barefoot and are not afraid of him wearing shoes!"

"If Wu wants to fight, then fight!"

"Get a good fight!"

"He said there are at least two benefits to a war!"

"First, it stimulates the bloodiness of the people of Ningguo, and makes Ning people bent their backs stand up again after being raised over the years!"

"Secondly, war is not necessarily a bad thing, it can often promote the rapid development of certain industries...such as smelting, military industry, weaving, transportation, etc."

"We can also review our army through actual combat... an army that has not experienced the baptism of real war cannot be called a tiger and wolf army at all."

"It's just a yard that is well-built and beautiful."

"That is, embroidered pillows."

"So, Wuyaguan prepares for the war, let the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue go and do it with great fanfare, so that the envoys of the Wu Kingdom know that we are preparing to fight them!"

"…Don't hesitate to fight!"

...

...

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month.

The Wu delegation arrived at the south gate of Yujing, Kyoto.

The mission was quite large, with eight carriages and hundreds of front and rear guards.

In one of the carriages, Wu Qian, the prince of Wu, closed a book in front of him and looked up at a gentle old man sitting opposite him.

The old man had white eyebrows, white beard and white hair, and his face was thin, but his eyes were still very clear.

He was also looking at a book on the small table.

He read "The Hundred Collections of Poems and Lyrics of Ning".

"arrive?"

"Sir, we're here."

"...I haven't come to this Yujing City for more than 20 years."

The old man closed the book, his eyes showing doubt:

"No one has come to greet us yet?"

"Mr. Hui, this... Ningguo has no emperor, and the regent has also gone to Jiangnan."
