The weather in July, even outside the Saiwai, is very hot.
But even so, the training on the school field was still in full swing, and the soldiers were sweating, but with the general's order, every action did not dare to be sloppy, otherwise the unforgiving whip would be pulled off with a head and face.
The Maritime Silk Road in Liaodong has been opened, and the lucrative benefits have made all participants make a lot of money, and everyone is happy.
As a result, Xia Xun started larger-scale commercial operations in other areas with the model of Hada City.
Liaodong has its own Liaodong specialties, which may not be a rare thing in the local area, and it is a large amount of wealth to transport out.
Now, there is no need to urge all parts of Liaodong to actively build more beacons, and the local people have taken the initiative to build roads and bridges, all of which are important guarantees for economic interests.
However, the ultimate guarantee of all this is force, especially in an environment surrounded by tigers and wolves.
The last battle with the Tatars, although the victory, but the casualties of the participating army were not light, in the steppe, the nomads have an innate advantage, so although the Liaodong Ming army has an advantage in weapons, hard training can still not be ignored.
Conscientiously summing up the tactical characteristics, advantages, and shortcomings of both sides in the previous battle will be of great benefit to future battles, and even if an army that did not participate in the battle last time can adjust its tactics according to the experience of the troops participating in the battle, so as to avoid more casualties and annihilate the enemy more in future battles.
The last time the troops participated in the war were all rewarded handsomely, some were promoted, some made a fortune, and some bachelors got a wife, of course, some of the generals used their power to turn some beautiful women into their concubines, Xia Xun's ears and eyes are not unknown, but he just should not know, from them to go, the water is clear and there is no fish, even if he is God, he can't stop others.
And isn't it the biggest motivation for people to climb to stand up, from drinking blood to appreciating beautiful clothes, and never getting tired of being meticulous, everything that happened in Liaodong greatly inspired the officers and men of the whole army.
They are different from others, they want to climb up, they want to be high-ranking officials, beautiful concubines and wives, and the only way is to fight.
Now they are like people who have made a fortune in business, and suddenly they find that this disgusting place, where there are so many opportunities to make their lives better, and once the incentives are there, they become a bunch of militants, who originally only had the idea of "better not to attack the Tatars", and now they are holding back all day long, thinking only about one thing: when to do it again Xia Xun is not worried about the impulse of business on traditional industries such as agriculture, because here, traditional industries are backward, not advanced, and commerce needs to communicate with each other, and when you no longer have it, you are bound to find ways to make it.
After all, the number of people who can participate in direct commercial trade is a minority, and most of them still have to work in various traditional industries.
Therefore, when there are not enough horses to buy and sell, some people will come up with various incentives to encourage herders to raise horses; When a huge ship of logs is not available, there are people who offer better treatment and encourage people to cut wood; When the quantity of various mountain delicacies is not enough to meet the demand, some people will organize more people to pick and then breed.
When they find that the furs are shipped out, and people make dozens or even hundreds of times more profits than them, they will think of hiring craftsmen to build their own fur production industries, agriculture, forestry, fishing, and industry, and will rise one after another due to the rise of commerce.
So in this hot summer, Xia Xun, who didn't want to go out, spread out the paper in the study and wrote a letter to his family.
The windows on both sides are open, and the wind passing through the windows brings a little coolness, Xia Xun bites the pen shaft, thinking about where to start the pen.
In the courtyard there were two women in the shade of the trees, talking and laughing from time to time.
This is a gift from someone else to Xia Xun, since the first battle of Liaodong ended the Wugu tribe, the leaders of the nearby tribes have expressed friendship to the governor, and the Haixi Jurchen tribes who intend to belong to Liaodong have also sent people to dredge up relations.
Immediately afterwards, the vigorous development of various businesses brought huge business opportunities to Liaodong, so the wealthy families and tribal leaders from all over Liaodong also came, and now even many tribal leaders in the Nuergan area have joined the ranks of gift-giving and knotting.
In such places, the nomads gave the most gifts of only three things: horses, furs, and slave girls.
As a result, Xia Xun received enough horses to open a large ranch by himself, and the good leather goods received were enough to fill a leather goods Zhuangzi that was not inferior to Xie Chuanzhong in Beiping, not to mention the women he received, he could build a pink army.
Xia Xun's leather goods were transferred to the Guannei, where the greatest benefits could be obtained, and all the horses received supplemented the cavalry of Liaodong, as for the woman, he also gave it away, and the two in the courtyard have not yet found a suitable successor.
The women who can be given to Xia Xun, of course, are very beautiful, Jurchens, Koreans, Yue himself, Uighurs, Han Chinese, and many mixed-race beauties, all ethnic groups live here, and there are many mixed-race men and women born from intermarriage, and most of the mixed-race women are very beautiful, and now these two girls in the courtyard are Russ Russians.
One of the girls was named Sanapopova, and the other Xia Xun didn't remember.
They were beautiful, with millet hair full of wild surnames, and big blue eyes as deep as a lake of clear water.
Russian men like to call their sweethearts "cute little birches", and apparently, they fit this characteristic.
Compared to the high-nosed and deep-eyed Western Europeans, the Ross girl has a softer facial curve, but is more shaped than the flat-faced.
They have eyebrow trimmings that are rare for European women, and their eye sockets are not as serious as those of Western Europeans.
At the same time, their skin is dazzlingly white, but there are few freckles that Caucasian people are accustomed to, and the slender legs and the straight breasts make their beauty reveal a kind of aggressive arrogance, but here, they have no room for arrogance, they do not understand Chinese, but after the initial apprehension, they still quickly adapt to life here, and are very happy, because this place is much richer than their hometown, and it is difficult for them to see such a rich and populous big city in their own country, People wore such gorgeous clothes, food was so rich, and the climate was much more comfortable.
This is what the two of them are talking about in the courtyard, but unfortunately Xia Xun can't understand their words, otherwise he will laugh out loud, this is a rich and populous big city, where people wear gorgeous clothes and rich food, if they are brought to Jinling, they must not be regarded as paradise However, Xia Xun didn't plan to take them home, because Xia Xun was a little afraid of his wife now.
It's not because of Ming'er's family background and identity, Ming'er has never been domineering in this regard, and Xia Xun will never allow his wife to show off her family background, or show awe of it.
Maybe it's just because of love, old men always love their little daughters-in-law.
Xia Xun found that he was really old, and after only a few months of leaving, he began to miss home, his woman, and his children, so that no matter how rich the food is, he can't eat it here.
He wasn't like this before, when King Yan was in trouble, he placed Ziqi and Xie Xie on a relatively safe island, and he didn't have too many ideas about reuniting for so long.
Of course, there are other factors in it, because it was the critical moment of King Yan's success or failure, and now it is different, but it cannot be denied that as he grows older, he is indeed more in love with his family than before.
Xia Xun already had a book next to him, which was ready to be presented to the emperor.
After Xia Xun arrived in Liaodong, every time he did some major things and every time there was some change, he would go to the court in time to report to the emperor or ask for a vote.
He didn't want to give the court the impression that he was the king and hegemon in Liaodong.
In this recital, Xia Xun described in detail his recent actions, as well as the gratifying changes in Liaodong, as well as a large number of statistical data and analytical materials, very detailed, but there are not too many flowery words, Zhu Di is a pragmatic emperor, he does not need to pile up a bunch of words and phrases that praise virtue, he only needs to narrate the facts.
In the end, Xia Xun proposed that he wanted to return to Jinling after the next battle.
Because he could not write a complete chapter about the current situation in Liaodong, and at the same time he had many ideas, which required the emperor's permission one by one, and with his knowledge of the Tatar forces and the increasingly tense hostile relations between the Tatars and Warat, he was sure that after the next war, the Tatars would not be able to continue to invade Liaodong for a long time.
At the end of the letter, he told Ming'er that maybe he would have the opportunity to go back to Jinling soon, and told his wife with very subtle rhetoric to hurry up and wait for his favor.
Then he sealed the letter, called his confidants, and ordered him to send the chapter and the letter to the capital.

More than an hour after the family was leaving, a large number of Jingshi clans came to Kaiyuan City.
Huang Zhen, the imperial envoy of the Imperial Palace, Zhang Xitong of the Honglu Temple, and the Fuzhou Sailor Baihu Guzhou, in addition to these acquaintances, there is also a Yixin, also known as Yishuha, which is a eunuch of Haixi Jurchen origin, and he brought a secret decree from the Yongle Emperor to Xia Xun.
In the secret decree, he said: "The troubles of the court's henchmen must be in the north, and the Qing does not need to be worried, just let go and do the right thing, which is more important than sticking to the rules.
No, I will set off for the northern tour, and I can go to Yanjing to meet me when I am introduced to discuss state affairs."
Xia Xun looked at the secret decree, looked up to the sky and sighed: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?"
Huang Zhen, Gu Zhou, Zhang Xitong and others looked at each other when they heard this: "What did the emperor say in his will?"
