Chapter 699: The Emperor's Dream
Wa Huang Temple
Ye Qing stared, at this time, the thick yellow gas flowed, like smoke and haze, and it was the gas phase of the community.
Ye Qingping retired from the attendants, put three pillars of incense on the jade statue, did not bow down, bowed slightly, only to see the light flash, strolling in the hall in a crown dress, pushing open a window, and looking outside: "Your Majesty, the dragon qi gathered from the states has been red and yellow, and your majesty is purple and steaming, far beyond the ancestors, congratulations to your majesty, you have completed an unprecedented feat." ”
"The Han family has a system, I just need to improve it, and it will take a long time for this effect to be truly reflected, breaking the upper limit threshold of dragon qi...... If it stays at the current level, the upper limit is yellow......"
"My return is imminent, and that's all I can do here. Speaking of this, Ye Qing smiled: "Twenty years of Emperor Zuo, it's not a short time to say. ”
When the emperor heard this ethnic group speak, her heart was emotional and melancholy, and finally bowed slightly: "I wish Your Majesty to return to Shun, and I will also return to heaven." ”
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't participate in the Immortal Peach Banquet?"
"My time is up. ”
The emperor glanced at the emperor deeply, as if she wanted to remember this person, and retreated back to the altar step by step.
The ancient covenant appeared on her, and the black and white crown clothes of the pre-Qin dynasty gradually disintegrated in the torrent of red and yellow dragon qi, revealing the carcass of a young girl, and at this time, there was no shyness, and a colorful palace costume appeared.
"What are you ......" Ye Qing stared at her and changed her clothes like this, and suddenly realized: "Your covenant, something is wrong?"
The emperor's head said: "The sky is flooding, and the legend of Nuwa mending the sky is actually the memory of the tribe's water control, which is the beginning of the sage." ”
"At that time, my brother Fuxi and I survived drifting, and the legend of combining reproduction and kneading soil to create people was the beginning of the covenant...... Although I and the Essence are one, we are somewhat different from each other, and it is a covenant priesthood. ”
"The gods of an era, only beyond the contemporary luck can be developed, in ancient times, the clan is black and white, the blood sacrifice red can be developed, the golden covenant is invincible, and now the world is changing with each passing day, at the beginning of the green qi, I have fallen behind. ”
"The people, like you, no longer need me, and when the covenant is solved, it will be time for me to return to my true form, and the gods will be immortal, and I will be the same, and it will only be an obstacle to stay any longer. ”
The emperor's eyes were melancholy, and she was reluctant to give up: "If Hongchen is a dream, my dream is over, but the fortune of the clan is prosperous, and I am happy, isn't it?"
The prosperity she expects is the end of her......
Ye Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a while.
"Anyway, it's nice to meet you as an ethnicity, goodbye...... Ye Jun. She turned and stepped into the void and vanished.
In the empty main hall, the sacrificial jade statue is still there, but it has lost its charm, and the torrent of national qi seems to break through the shackles and rise to the sky.
Ye Qing held his forehead and sat alone in the hall for a while, watching the three pillars of incense burn out, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and ease his expression, but he looked a little melancholy.
West Garden
"Chief, the new workshop area has arrived. The butler outside said, lifting the curtain to reveal the verdant shade outside.
Not far along the boulevard is the wall of the Royal West Garden, in addition to the daily guards at the door, there is also a blockade of the Red Armor Feather Forest Army on the road, and from a distance, some carriages enter one after another from a royal road.
"Is this a heavenly home?"
Ma Dai got out of the car and looked, faintly dressed in beautiful clothes, but there was no dragon energy, and he couldn't figure out whether the emperor was there, and there would not be so many concubines to visit Xiyuan.
The housekeeper leaned over on the side and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty has traveled all over the country, since returning to Beijing last month, Zannangong Taoyuan has been fruitful, and it is necessary to enjoy it with all the civil and military forces, so that the peach banquet will be held in Xiyuan in the near future." ”
For this matter, the three queen mothers He, Tang, and Fu came to arrange the banquet venue, accompanied by Queen Mi, Concubine Gan, Concubine Wu, Concubine Sun, Mrs. Da Qiao, Mrs. Xiao Qiao, Mrs. Wen Ji, etc...... This is said in today's "Luoyang Morning Post", and the main thing can be seen when you turn to the leisure and anecdotal section. ”
"Emulate the Queen Mother of the West's peach feast?"
Ma Dai thought secretly, he didn't dare to look at the emperor more, and entered the new workshop area.
At the gate, there is a sign of "Kansai Cotton Cloth Workshop", a plaque is held in red silk, and fragments of bamboo shells of celebration firecrackers are scattered on the ground, and the festive atmosphere has not faded.
The new workshop, built in response to the labor crisis, is fully equipped with the latest production equipment and environment, and at this time a long line of wagons and horses waiting to carry goods is seen at the door, and a large number of cotton cloth is loaded onto the carriage and driven to the station, where it is transferred to the west by the latest fire spirit steam locomotive......
The busy production scene in the western suburbs is only a microcosm of Luoyang's industry, and Luoyang is a microcosm of China.
In this flowery summer, everyone has reversed their original destiny and is continuing the established destiny.
A few days later, on the side of Xiyuan, the same restaurant, led by Sun Quan, the representative of the Sun family, was held by the Kansai Chamber of Commerce, which was a counterattack response to the Kanto Chamber of Commerce.
During the temporary break at the meeting, Ma Dai returned to the next room downstairs and sighed: "It's a pity that the family is a little late to serve the new dynasty, so that the Sun family, an outsider, can compete for the position ......of the protector of the Western Regions, of course, the Sun brothers have a younger sister Sun Shangxiang married to Jinshang, and we can't compare the identity of this relative."
"It's not all about politics. ”
The young brother next to him was a recent graduate who was studying many new courses and had a different view on the economy: "The government also needs economic support, and the Western Regions is a series of small countries, the market is small, and the interests are divided among our families, so they have long been unable to support the dumping of cotton products in Guanlong and Luoyang, and half of the cotton cloth market occupies half of the market -- and half of it is cheaper local cloth, which is produced and sold by itself, and does not join the market at all." ”
In this way, the limit has been reached, the development of the family has been at a bottleneck, and no matter how much support is obtained from the imperial court, it may not be effective. ”
Further west of the market is gone, I heard that in order to determine the whereabouts of the remnants of Xianbei, in order to find the legend that "its people are all grown up and upright, similar to China, so called the Great Qin" of the Western Great Qin, the imperial court sent an envoy Zhang Song to the west of the Great Food Country, arriving at the western border of the Great Food is a seasonal Red Sea, but further west there is no land, only a series of small islands, some of which have just emerged on the sea.
The world didn't know that the evolution of this earth world was already the limit, Ye Qing knew it in his heart, but he wouldn't say it.
In fact, if it weren't for the smooth evolution of the earth, which attracts the power of the dark area like a magnet, this great food would never have evolved.
There is a grassland in the northwest, which is said to be the same fertile black soil as Liaodong, but there is no rumored black-haired Daqin people, who are all blonde and red-haired barbarians.
The communication network of Xunpan, the workshop of the fire spirit steam engine, the railway, and the drastic expansion of the new empire triggered by the Taoist Revolution broke through the geographical restrictions in a short period of time, and this world was about to be developed to the limit.
"Or you can lobby the imperial court to conquer the big food country, the big food country has a vast market, but unfortunately it is only willing to pay courtesy tribute, and the market has not been opened, so we can dump it. ”
"The empire may use force to forcibly open the market and dump ......," said one of his aides, and the newspapers reported that the one-way railroad tracks of the Longxi Line had been laid to Yumen Pass, all of which were faintly advocating war.
Ma Dai has experience in war from the army, so he shook his head at this: "It's not so easy, not to mention that the two-way track has not yet been laid, and the wind and sand are more fierce after going deep into the Western Regions, and it has been measured that nine tuyere areas can blow over the entire railway track and train, and the permanent windbreak and sand array has not yet been built, these are all practical difficulties, and I am afraid it will take another ten years to solve." ”
"The Great Food Country is not a small Goguryeo clan, but it is not inferior to the national strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is thousands of miles away. ”
"If there were no rail transport, the loss would be the same as the sea...... The cabinet bosses are all broken into two pennies, and will never agree to an expedition on the scale of the railway. ”
"In the Luoyang newspapers, there are some people who are advocating war against Dashi, but they are all people who want to get war dividends. ”
"Even if there are some official colors, or it is just that His Majesty is preparing to use troops on a small scale and train the army in turn, there is no reason for a national war in the short term...... The empire does not need troops for a day, and it is necessary to maintain a low-intensity war, but this will not help our cotton store to open the market, I am afraid that after the war begins, the cotton cloth market for the big food will shrink, and we have to prevent the transfer of interests. ”
Ma Dai kept calculating the situation, he was not as good at martial arts as his brother, he had some wisdom in running the family industry, and he paid a lot of attention to the various shapes, and he could judge the value of the imperial court's movements: "You can't count on the west for the time being, and you can't enter the Central Plains, and the grasslands in the north are also the lands of the various domains, and my Ma family can't eat these meats if they come late, so you have to think about the emerging markets in the frontier, you can discuss and discuss." ”
Several guests glanced at each other, and couldn't help but follow the words: "I heard that Liaodong has a great demand for cotton clothes recently, and it is an important frontier area, the imperial court will definitely not allow any piece of cotton to monopolize, and we still have a chance to ...... As long as we can get rid of the notoriety of this trouble......"
"How do you get in touch to open up the situation...... Or can you ask the head of the family to contact the robe of Liaodong?"
"Don't be in such a hurry, the specific situation over there hasn't been figured out yet. ”
"It's a Youzhou clan, and I have a bit of a local relationship, and I have also got some news from Liaodong from the family letter......," one of them said.
Ma Dai raised his eyebrows and nodded for him to continue.
"Last year, the new textile machine was formed, the price of thick cotton clothes fell quickly, and it was popularized and applied to the people's homes, which ignited the grassland, broke through the restrictions on agricultural production and life in the cold zone, and caused the trend of developing the Great Northern Wilderness, which is the third emerging market after the grassland and the Western Regions...... Principal, this is an opportunity for the family to expand. ”
Ma Dai pondered for a moment and nodded: "It seems that I have to send a message to my brother to get support, my family took refuge in the new dynasty late, missed the Central Plains market, missed the grassland market, and only caught up with the tail of the Western Regions market, but I must not miss the Liaodong market again......"
"Yes, the way of doing business, it is the king to keep up with the court at all times......" These people glanced at each other, and they all said in unison.
