It was already cold in the capital in October.

But Shiweizhong Capital City, more than 2,000 kilometers northeast of this place, is several times colder.

If it weren't for people cleaning up the snow every day in Zhongjing City, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see the road.

Not to mention outside Zhongjing City, almost all communication has stopped.

All tribal villages are nestled in their own houses and tents to spend the winter.

In this era in which Dakang was located, the weather was much colder than that in modern times.

Zhongjing City is probably a little upwards in Jilin, so it shouldn't be so cold.

But in fact, it's so ice and snow.

Of course, the closer you are to Zhongjing City, the more you have various guarantees, including because the strong city blocks the wind and snow and the biting cold. Not only are life inside the city easier, but it is not that freezing outside the city.

Besides, after the city is available, there are more houses.

Houses can be built in the city, and houses can be built outside the city.

Repairing a house is different from living in a tent. The house can ensure that it will not be frozen to death in winter, but there is no guarantee of the tent at all.

In the past, herders had to sleep with animals at night to ensure that they would not be frozen to death.

In today's Zhongjing City, even people who live in tents outside only have nostalgia because they like nostalgia. In fact, the tents are built next to their own houses, and it is no problem to shelter from wind and rain.

Let's put our eyes on the palace.

As Shi Wei’s palace, half of this palace is copying Dakang’s palace.

Or it is a copy of the imperial palace in the Central Plains.

Because Dakang Palace was still left by the previous dynasty.

However, this palace in Shiwei still retains a lot of the characteristics of their nation in its decoration.

For example, the huge statue on the palace square looking south is telling their yearning for the warm weather and rich country in the south.

Yelu Feiyang slowly walked into a small palace wearing a cloak.

This is the study of Emperor Wei, Emperor Pingzhi.

This is also the place where Emperor Pingzhi stays most often. Many major decisions related to the Sewei were also made here to form resolutions.

The eunuch removed the cloak outside, and Yelu Feiyang, who walked into the study, felt a warm breath.

There are several fire walls in the imperial study room, and there are special people who burn the fire to keep warm.

What is consumed is the best charcoal.

The white waters of the Black Mountain are filled with hundreds of years of trees and thousands of years of trees, so not only the nobles consume wood resources, but also the common people.

According to their population base, there will be no problem if it takes thousands of years to use it.

In fact, among the products exported by Shiwei to Dakang, the most important and the largest number are all kinds of wood.

It's not just about building a ship that requires a lot of good wood.

The rich people in Dakang also need a lot of wood to make all kinds of things.

All kinds of furniture, houses, sedan chairs, sculptures... and even coffins are needed.

Because the wood of Shiwei grew up in cold places, the wood is very tight and hard, which is very suitable for making these things.

So Shiwei's wood has always been very affordable, and it has brought too many good things to Shiwei.

But now it's different.

Any sensible senior executive of Shiwei knows that starting this year, the trade with Dakang will be hit hard.

Today, Emperor Pingzhi found Yelu Feiyang for this.

Yelu Feiyang knew what he meant and what purpose he wanted to achieve.

But...it's not easy!

He thought so when he looked at his father who was over fifties but still strong in his strength and his eyes were like a falcon.

"Father!"

Yelu Feiyang bowed and said, "My son is here!"

"Sit down!"

Emperor Taichi, who was sitting on the carpet, waved his hand.

Although this is a study, it is very large, and some of the intervals have been built into the style of Shiwei's original nomadic era.

For example, this huge carpet made of black bear fur and the small table above it all look like inside a tent.

Yelu Feiyang took off his shoes and sat cross-legged opposite Emperor Pingzhi.

"Have the army handled it?" Emperor Pingzhi asked slowly while drinking the hot milk tea.

The milk tea he drank was not the kind that Shi Wei passed down from generation to generation, but the modern milk tea invented by Liu Mingqi!

In terms of milk tea, Liu Mingqi did not cherish it himself, and announced all the production methods early. Therefore, modern milk tea can be drunk even in Shiwei Palace thousands of miles away.

This kind of milk tea with a lot of things is indeed much better than the original primitive milk tea that Shiwei had with a fishy smell.

Especially after hearing that Emperor Dakang loved this drink the most, Emperor Pingzhi also drank some from time to time to show his elegance.

You read that right.

Not only in the eyes of Emperor Pingzhi, but also in the eyes of many Dakang people, drinking milk tea is also a kind of elegant thing.

But Yelu Feiyang doesn't like it.

He still likes to drink tea.

So Emperor Pingzhi prepared tea for him.

Drinking tea with a small furnace, Yelu Feiyang nodded and said, "Reporting to the father, the arrangements have been made roughly. The pensions that should be given, the punishments that should be given, the rewards that should be given... The money brought back by the Lao Wu also played a great role, otherwise the finances would become nervous all of a sudden."

"snort!"

Emperor Pingzhi snorted coldly, his face very badly.

Shi Wei suffered heavy losses in this military operation of Dakang.

Among the troops in this unit, the three troops of the Wild Wolf Army, the Shilin Army and the Iron Army suffered most of the losses, that is, the Black Water Army and the Yuhe Army were able to maintain a relatively complete sequence.

Among them, the commander of the Shilin Army and the first warrior in the Shiwei were killed on the battlefield by Liu Mingjing, the prince of the King of Yi of Dakang.

Almost 80,000 people were lost, and then the general was killed, causing great shock throughout the country.

The total population of their room is only more than two million, and the conventional army is only 300,000.

One quarter of the battle was gone at once. Do you think such a war is painful?

This does not include the more than 200,000 people killed and injured in the vassal tribe army.

Although in the eyes of the Shiwei people, these vassal tribes are not considered human beings, at least they are slaves who have followed them for decades. If they have no expression at all, wouldn’t it disappoint everyone?

The same sentence.

The Shiwei people only have more than two million. If they do not have the obedience of these vassal tribes and send troops to follow them, how could they become overlords within a thousand miles of surrounding areas?

How could he become the best in the world?

Therefore, as soon as the fifth prince Yelu Lijun came back, he was thrown into the heavenly prison by him, and he had never come out so far.

The emperor was completely disappointed with him and didn't even want to interrogate him.

The most important thing for the emperor now is to focus on how to deal with the aftermath.

In this regard, no one is more suitable than Yelu Feiyang, the third prince who has just been deprived of military power for a month or two and is unemployed at home.

So Emperor Pingzhi sent him to do various aftermath work.

Yelu Feiyang did not disappoint Emperor Pingzhi. Since he went to handle the matter and hosted it, fewer and fewer people came to the palace to cry and ask for help, and there was no one after three or five days.

This made Emperor Pingzhi happy to be leisurely.

Now it only took more than ten days to deal with it. This efficiency really surprised Emperor Pingzhi.

"Tell me, how do you deal with it?" the emperor asked curiously.

Yelu Feiyang said: "The soldiers of our troops are very easy to deal with. According to their level, each family gave ten cows, ten sheep and ten horses at least. The highest one, such as the Golden Tiger Army, is one hundred cows, one hundred words, and one hundred horses. In addition, they promise that their descendants will have a chance to come to our army to participate in the selection and become a real warrior."

Emperor Pingzhi frowned: "We have more than 80,000 casualties. How much compensation is enough? Isn't this going to hurt the vitality of the court and the royal family? Besides, now they can take care of the livestock and let them survive the winter?"

Although Shi Wei imitated the Central Plains dynasty and established the system of emperors, ministers and counties, he did not do it thoroughly in many aspects.

The habits of many nomadic peoples are still retained.

This is not only because they have just started imitating for decades, but also because there are a large number of stubborn conservative forces at work.

Not to mention them, isn’t it the same with Dakang?

So many censors and ministers are shouting that they will kill the prince Yu who is unfair and disobeying ethical things. Isn’t it because they are very conservative and conservative, and keep holding on to their ancestors’ things?

Shi Wei's royal family is actually the biggest leader. They have the most wealth, the most horses, cattle and sheep, and the greatest power.
