Steel Dynasty - Chapter 751

[Chapter 750 Reaction]

Fiji’s hand holding the “Haigu City Treaty” trembled slightly.

After the morning court today, he and Pang Yukun were called to the imperial study by Xiao Ming, and then Xiao Ming took out the treaty with the seal of the King of Goryeo.

“After many years, Da Yu finally feels proud this time.” Old Fiji burst into tears.

He assisted Xiao Wenxuan throughout his life and experienced the pain of being bullied by barbarians, Goryeo and Japanese countries. Whenever there was a war at the border, he and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were frightened and swallowed their anger.

Sometimes it’s not that they have no spine, but that the country is weak.

Now under the rule of Xiao Ming, the Great Chongqing Kingdom is different from the past. The Golden Horde is no longer so scary. Although it is still a threat to the Great Chongqing Kingdom, it is not enough to change the attitude of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Pang Yukun looked excited. He has devoted his life to serving the country. Today, the country of Chongqing has achieved such achievements. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “In the past, my veterans thought that the emperor was a conservative king, but now it seems that the emperor has the ambition to expand the territory.”

Fiji wipe Wiping his tears, “The emperor has now accomplished the unfinished wish of the late emperor with ease. From the perspective of veterans, the emperor will definitely become a hero in the world in the future. Maybe the next Khan of Heaven will be the emperor.”

Xiao Ming He laughed softly. He was very happy to have successfully signed the “Haigu City Treaty”. For him, this treaty meant that the country of Chongqing entered the international stage and launched the first step of overseas colonization.

From then on, Dayu had its first overseas market and raw material supplier, and the effect of this was to accelerate the industrial development of Dayu.

After all, the bigger the cake, the more people will eat it.

So he said, “This Treaty of Haigu City is just the beginning. From now on, I will lead you to lay down large territories for the Great Chongqing Kingdom and make lasting contributions. Are you willing?”

“The Emperor’s sword pointed out that , This is what my heart desires, how can I say that I am not willing to do it?” Pang Yukun said impassionedly and sincerely.

His lifelong wish was to serve the country and leave his name in history. How could he give up such an opportunity now?

Fiji has a profound vision. When Xiao Ming first came to the throne, he once despised this king, thinking that he was too young to control the ministers, and the country had to rely on them, veterans, to handle the affairs of the country.

But now Xiao Ming has used his achievements to prove that under his rule, the country of Chongqing will only become stronger.

“Pang Shoufu’s words are right in my heart. Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you learn martial arts, you can sell your goods to the emperor’s family. From now on, this old man, this old man, will be at the disposal of the emperor.” Fiji said with emotion.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming showed a smile. This “Haigu City Treaty” is a victory externally, and it is also a victory internally.

During the period when he ascended the throne, there was still resistance in Dayu. At this moment, one of the ways to enhance his prestige as an emperor was through conquest.

Now that he has done it, this will definitely slap those who privately oppose the reform in the face. Following the old system, the country of Chongqing has suffered all kinds of humiliation, but by abolishing the old and reforming, the country of Chongqing is powerful throughout the country.

“With these words from you, I feel at ease. You are my closest ministers. Only if you and I are of the same mind can the country of Chongqing prosper and this reform can continue to deepen.” Xiao Ming said lightly.

The two nodded at the same time.

At this time, Xiao Ming took the treaty back from Fiji and said, “When you go back, try to publicize this in the newspapers. It’s time to make the people feel bad.”

Pang Yukun understood that every time the Great Yu Kingdom made significant progress, It will be published in newspapers to let businessmen and people know.

For him, this is also a way to enhance people’s sense of identity.

The two agreed and left.

The next day, “Qingzhou Daily” published the headline “Haigucheng Treaty”, which caused thousands of waves.

“Bisha City and Haigu City were ceded to our country of Chongqing. This time it can be said that we are opening up the territory and expanding our territory. Our army of the country of Chongqing is mighty!”

In a restaurant, students from four different colleges gathered around a table. They were all from Chang’an in the past. The descendants of powerful people are now studying in various colleges in Qingzhou.

The student who spoke was wearing a green gown, and he looked like a student from the Military Academy. As soon as he finished speaking, the student wearing a silver gown next to him said: “You have such an elm-headed mind and you only know how to fight. This ancient sea city treaty is the most important.” The important thing is the following trade terms. With this, the goods of Dayu will be able to travel unimpeded in Goryeo. Now the merchants should be very happy.”

The other two students nodded, and the student from the Government Affairs College said: ” Both Bisha City and Haigu City have become the territory of our country, and it’s time to appoint officials next.”

“They are indeed going to be dispatched. Look, doesn’t it have the position of consul written on it? It’s just two cities .”

Being alone overseas, wouldn’t it be a shame to go there?” The remaining students shook their heads.

“It’s better to suffer than to do nothing in Qingzhou City. Now we, the heirs of the old ministers from Chang’an, have nothing to rely on. Now we can only seek jobs with civilian students. If you don’t go, the position will be taken by them. You still don’t want it.” We are living in the old days,”

the student from the government affairs department reminded.

His words made the atmosphere a little heavy. Ever since they came to Qingzhou, everything had changed, and the privileges they enjoyed seemed to have gone away from them overnight.

Now all he has left is the memory of his former superiority over the humble children.

While they were sighing, the guests at the next table who had just sat down suddenly burst into laughter.

A young man sitting facing east and west held a newspaper and said, “Our emperor is really wise and powerful. This Korea was defeated by two cities in one go.”

“Brother Wuliu, it’s more than this. Now we should think about how to sell the cloth to Go to Korea, now there are so many textile mills popping up in Qingzhou, and the price of cloth is falling again and again, it will be a loss if this continues,” Shangguan Yong complained.

The young man was Zhu Wuliu. After the textile workshop started production, his business was good and his money became abundant again.

With his wealth, he often took Shangguan Yong and others to the restaurant to drink. Of course, he couldn’t afford to go to the Wei Family Restaurant, but the tavern in the folk square was still very casual.

Zhu Wuliu sighed. What Shangguan Yong said was true. With more cloth in the textile mill, the price of cloth was falling, but the price of cotton was rising because the supply exceeded demand. Now he wants to grow cotton.

However, Shangguan Yong’s words still reminded him that Zhu Wuliu now has a keen sense of businessman. Goryeo is a market that the merchants of the Great Chongqing have never been involved in. The high-quality and cheap cloth of the Great Chongqing is bound to be sold well. .

And the most important thing is that judging from the “Haigu Fortress Treaty”, merchants from Dayu will enjoy various preferential treatment in Goryeo.
