Yang Yuhuan is a person of great character.
Although she has committed herself to Zhao Ziliang, she still goes her own way.
She is not at all obedient and obedient like other women after committing themselves to a man.
Zhao Ziliang does not care about her and lets her Do everything according to your own temperament.
After arriving in Kangju County, Yang Yuhuan and his two maids disappeared for several days before appearing in front of Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang was talking about military affairs with Bai Xiaode, the commander of the second army garrison in Kangju County, when he heard the soldiers coming.
Report: "Your Majesty, Taoist Master Taihua is back."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and motioned for Yang Yuhuan to come in.
He continued to say to Bai Xiaode: "Your regiment originally had a lot of infantry.
Although they can all ride horses, it is still difficult to convert them all into cavalry within a few months.
I just looked at it, and there are basically no problems with my riding skills.
I still need to work hard on the tactics of mounted combat and mounted shooting."
Yang Yuhuan walked in in Taoist attire.
Bai Xiaode clasped his fists and said, "What the king said is true.
During these days, the general has been urging the soldiers to strengthen their training in cavalry warfare and riding tactics.
The general has plans.
Complete the complete transformation of military services and tactics by May next year.”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, since you have a plan, I will wait for your good news and results.
You go ahead.
I will come back to you if I have something to do."
"Promise, I'll leave at the end," Bai Xiaode said, clasping his fists in salute, then clasping his fists in salute to Yang Yuhuan, then turned and left.
Zhao Ziliang smiled at Yang Yuhuan and said, "Where has Yuhuan been these past few days?
Why can't I see anyone for several days in a row?"
Yang Yuhuan looked unhappy, "I visited several nearby towns and saw the fire rats here, as well as the mosques and temples left by the cannibals here.
I ate all the delicacies here, but Xi Qin There are too many rules here.
Monks and Taoist priests also have to pay ultimatums here before they can walk freely.
Without ultimatums, we can’t stay in hotels, order carriages or horses, and even many taverns won’t let us eat.
It really pisses me off, you I dare to say that these rules were not set by your Western Qin government."
Zhao Ziliang smiled when he heard this, "It turns out that Yuhuan is unhappy because of this.
You also know that ordinary people need a household registration guide to go from one town to another.
This household registration guide is everyone's identity certificate.
Although a monk is a square Outsiders, but they also have to live in the world, so they also need to have their own identity certificate.
Dudu is the identity certificate of a monk.
This is also found in the Central Plains.
Its function is It is convenient for monks to seek alchemy, but the role of the ultimatum here is to prove the monk’s identity.
With this thing, monks can travel unimpeded in the Western Qin Dynasty.
If not, who knows whether the monk is a real monk or a fake monk.
Nowadays, many people are trying to defraud The money of ordinary believers is disguised as that of monks.
Many people have been deceived, and some have been deceived into bankruptcy.
Of course, our government must take care of it."
Yang Yuhuan blinked: "There is also the matter of pretending to be a monk and defrauding believers of their money."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course, although our Tang Dynasty has ruled here for many years, there are many crimes committed by people here.
We are also educating the people of all ethnic groups here to be kind and abide by the law."
Yang Yuhuan stopped and said, "Okay, but you have to get me an ultimatum so that I can walk freely in Western Qin."
Zhao Ziliang spread his hands, "I can't help it.

You have to go to Wang Ximing.
He is in charge of clan and academic affairs.
Only he can let you get the Taoist certificate directly without going through the assessment.
If you feel that you are in Taoist classics If you have some foundation in research, you can also go to the clan and academic affairs office in Kangju County to take the assessment.
If you pass, they will naturally issue you an ultimatum.
If you fail, there is nothing I can do."
Yang Yuhuan said: "Why can't you do anything?
Are you not the Lord of Western Qin?
Is there anyone who dares not to listen to what you say?"
Zhao Ziliang said with a sad face: "It's true that I am the Lord of Western Qin, but I also have to abide by the rules I have set.
If I break the rules I set at will, of course the people below will not abide by them.
In the end, this world will There will be chaos.”
Yang Yuhuan said harshly: "Okay, I'll take the exam.
I don't believe I can't pass it."
Zhao Ziliang laughed when he saw Yang Yuhuan swinging the whisk and leaving angrily.
He believed that Yang Yuhuan might have read some Taoist books.
There would be many such books in the palace in Chang'an, but he did not believe that Yang Yuhuan really There are studies in this area.
At this time, Cen Shen walked in and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince and his party have returned from Tianzhu and have now arrived in Shijun."
Zhao Ziliang heard this and said, "Oh, do you know how well he completed his mission during this trip?"
Cen Shen said: "It is reported that it has been completed.
It is not difficult to collect cotton seeds.
As long as it does not arouse the suspicion of the local city-state officials, it should not cause trouble."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "The boss has come back, but there is no news about the second brother.
They set off together.
It has been three or four months now.
Tell the others that we will set off for Tochara tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Three days later, Zhao Ziliang met his eldest son Zhao Lei and his party in Shijun.
"My child has met his father," Zhao Lei bowed.
"Get up and let me go to Tianzhu to collect cotton seeds.
How are you collecting them?"
Zhao Lei said: "My child has collected three hundred kilograms and they are all here."
After speaking, he pointed to a few bulging small cloth bags at his feet.
Zhao Ziliang came over, opened the bag, took out a handful of cotton seeds, looked at it, and said, "Yes, this is it.
You must keep it dry and don't let the cotton seeds get moldy."
Zhao Lei agreed: "Yes, father."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "How do you plan to promote cotton planting in Western Qin?"
Zhao Lei said: "Father, on the way back, my son thought a lot.
He thought that no one has ever planted this thing on a large scale.
If you want to plant it on a large scale, you must first conduct trial planting.
I want to plant it first next year."
Thirty acres will be planted just outside Jiluosi City.
If the planting effect next year is good, the yield is high, and the growth habits of cotton are accurately understood, planting will begin in one county the year after that, and then extended to a city the year after that.
In the territory of Hufu, and finally in the territory of Qin in the whole west Domestic promotion, if there are losses during this process, the losses will not be too big.
If it is promoted throughout the entire Western Qin Dynasty from the beginning, if there is a natural disaster or poor harvest due to poor management during planting, the losses will be huge.
In this way Gradually promoting it, on the one hand, it will take time to understand the growth habits of cotton in various regions, and on the other hand, we can minimize losses.

Once we have fully understood the growth habits of cotton, we have begun to promote it throughout Western Qin." .
After hearing what Zhao Lei said, Zhao Ziliang praised: "Okay, you are very close.
It seems that you have put in a lot of effort and thought about it in detail, and did not start blindly because you want to make meritorious deeds.
It seems that you have been studying and doing things over the years."
It’s still effective.
I’ll ask you again as a father.
Regarding the issue of promotion, do you have any specific measures and means?
You can't force farmers to use their own fields to grow your cotton.
After all, almost everyone has never seen this thing, let alone planting it.
How can you What makes people grow your cotton?”
Zhao Lei said: "I have also thought about this problem.
I think that for the people, what they plant and how they plant are not important.
The important thing is that as long as they make enough money, the people will plant whatever they want to pass next year's test."
After accumulating some planting experience, they conducted trial planting in a county.
The official promised the people that as long as they planted cotton, the government would Not only did they send officials to give them planting guidance and teach them how to plant, but they also promised to purchase cotton at a high price.
With the government's commitment, the people would definitely plant with confidence.
When cotton was promoted throughout the Western Qin Dynasty, the government would no longer promise to pay for it.
No matter what the purchase price is, the price will fluctuate freely based on the market conditions.
As long as the price does not exceed a reasonable range, the government will not care."
Isn't this increasing domestic demand?
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "The method you mentioned is good, but what should the government do with so much cotton?
We can't let it rot in the warehouse.
Besides, once cotton is purchased on a large scale and at a high price, the government will definitely The cost is huge, and it’s still unclear whether we can spend that much money.”
Zhao Lei clasped his fists and said: "Father, I have already thought about it.
Cotton is grown to make cotton clothes and cotton cloth.
The government can open some textile factories and garment factories to remove the seeds from cotton and spin it into cotton cloth.
Use cotton cloth to make cotton cloth."
After making cotton clothes and then selling them, as long as a cycle and scale are formed, when the money used by the government is withdrawn, the withdrawal can be stepped up in the second year.”
Zhao Ziliang knew that the method Zhao Lei mentioned was the state-owned enterprises of later generations.
The government established factories and companies during special periods to concentrate resources to develop the economy and purchase agricultural products from farmers at planned prices.
This method was very effective in special periods, but But it cannot go on for a long time.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "The method you mentioned is not impossible.
It will definitely be feasible in the early stage.
However, after a period of time, the cotton cloth and cotton clothes produced by the officially established factories will only become worse and worse in style and quality due to lack of competitiveness."
It is not liked by the people.
The people need to buy these things so that the cotton clothes and cotton cloth produced by the government can be sold and make money.
Otherwise, it will cause a backlog of goods and put increasing pressure on the government's finances.
This way you can How to solve it” Zhao Lei said: "Haier believes that after a period of time, by transferring the factory to the private sector or subcontracting it to individuals, and allowing the private sector to build factories to weave cotton cloth and make cotton-padded clothes, on the one hand, it can get rid of the burden of the government, and on the other hand, it can allow each factory to carry out its own operations freely. competition, the government no longer interferes with specific affairs.”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's try this method."
