"This method is to burn paper people to the king!" Jin Ke spat out a sentence.

The chieftain frowned unexpectedly, "Princess, your Majesty is so noble and unparalleled, how could you use a dummy to fool your Majesty?"

"Lord Chieftain, how could I fool the king? You don't know anything. There is a kind of paper in the Central Plains, called Ming paper. I heard that this kind of paper was soaked in the Jiuyou Ming River, and it carries Ming Qi. Use that kind of paper

Paper figures made of paper are more intelligent and loyal in the underworld than the real people who were buried in the underworld. It just so happens that when I came this time, I brought paper figures and craftsmen who specialize in making paper figures." Jin Ke curled his lips.

The chieftain pondered for a long time and then said, "That's good!"

No matter what, he has been led by others from the beginning. I am afraid that if he refuses, the Princess of Central Plains in front of him will come up with a lot of reasoning to persuade him.

Besides, the burial ceremony was also his father's... revenge.

I remember that before his father got married, he fell in love with an ordinary girl. The girl was just the daughter of an ordinary herdsman family. She was pretty and beautiful, but in the end she betrayed his father and became the old king's concubine. He

The father was so disheartened that he buried the woman after the death of the old king. In order to resist rumors, he made such a rule.

Nowadays, death is like a lamp going out, and all grievances and grudges should disappear with the passing of the old person.

The prosperity of Yejiang Kingdom is the first priority.

If the woman in front of him could really bring prosperity to Ye Jiang Country, he would be willing to listen to her.

"It's just...the time is coming, when can we finish making those paper figures?" This is a question.

Jin Ke also thought of this, "How long will it take until the king is buried?"

The chieftain said, "Two hours!"

Jin Ke's eyes lit up, "That's enough!"

He turned around and said, "Commander Shen, ask all those who make funeral supplies to rush to make paper figures for the king!"

Commander Shen heard everything they said and knew that his princess was out of danger. He nodded, "Yes! Princess, Weichen will go now!" He turned around and pulled a grazing horse from the grassland. He turned over and the horse swept away like a gust of wind.

go out.

"Lord Chieftain, two hours is enough for those people to make funeral supplies." Jin Ke said to the Chieftain.

Commander Shen was very fast. When he ordered the workers to rush to work, the workers immediately got to work.

Their efficiency is very high. Hundreds of people work together, and they are all experts in this field. In less than two hours, they made more than a thousand paper figures, as well as many paper carriages and palaces. Of course, Jin Ke

He also took out his "inventory", gold and silver jewelry made of paper.

These were all included in the dowry, including the coffin and shroud. When she first learned about this, Jin Ke really sweated.

When two hours were up, they moved the things they had prepared to King Ye Jiang's tomb. The vast and magnificent funeral supplies were placed at the entrance of the cave. It was so dark that it looked like it had come out of the underworld. Even if it was sunny, it still made people feel

My heart feels cold.

When the subjects of Yejiang Kingdom saw people made of paper for the first time, they all stretched their necks and stared at the paper figures with curiosity, unable to tell whether they were real or fake.

When the paper figurines burned up and the flames filled the sky, King Ye Jiang was also buried!

The firelight reflected in Jin Ke's eyes, burning brightly. She took a deep breath, and finally...she was safe!

When she returned to the tent, Mrs. Liang walked towards her in a hurry, "Princess, are you okay?" When she came to Yejiang Kingdom, she focused on doing business, but she had never heard that Yejiang Kingdom had such an unwritten bad habit.

.

Jin Ke smiled and reassured her, "I'm fine!"

The next day, Commander Shen was about to leave. Jin Ke personally sent them outside the imperial city. When Commander Shen was leaving, he mentioned something to Jin Ke, why not take advantage of the fact that Ye Jiang Kingdom has not yet established a new king? , and put Yejiang Kingdom into the hands of Dayin Kingdom.

Jin Ke shook his head hastily, "Commander Shen, this is impossible!"

Commander Shen frowned, "Princess, why?"

He didn't believe that their princess had developed deep feelings for this place after just a few days in Yejiang.

"Commander Shen, do you think this is so simple?" Jin Ke asked him calmly.

Not to mention that King Yejiang had just passed away and the new king of Yejiang Kingdom had not yet ascended the throne. It was because she had tried so hard to convince the chieftain and all the courtiers. If they had really done this, her efforts would have been in vain.

"King Ye Jiang passed away just after I got married. If we steal someone else's country at this time, how will you let all the countries in the world think about the Kingdom of Jin?"

"There are not so many coincidences in the world, Commander Shen, you have exceeded the rules!" Jin Ke said coldly.

Commander Shen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it. His eyes widened and he quickly confessed, "It's because the ministers are different!"

That's right! The king of their country, the princess of Da Jin Kingdom, died mysteriously just after entering the imperial city of Ye Jiang Kingdom. If Ye Jiang Kingdom is included in the territory of Da Jin Kingdom, isn't it all a coincidence? If anyone who is interested can inquire more, they will Knowing the funeral ceremony of Ye Jiang Kingdom, but their princess is still alive and well, how do the people in the world view Da Jin Kingdom?

What they must be thinking is that all this is a conspiracy of Da Jin Kingdom, in order to usurp Ye Jiang's kingdom!

The reason why the emperor and the prince did not take any action was probably because of this.

Jin Ke hummed, "Go ahead and tell your father what I mean. Don't let Yejiang Kingdom be included in the Dayin Kingdom. Also, remember to hand over the letter written by me to your father and brother."

Some things cannot be rushed, so you need to do it step by step and figure it out slowly!

"yes!"

As soon as Commander Shen left, Yejiang Kingdom became completely quiet. Jin Ke asked Liang and Aunt Bin to select embroiderers to teach the women of Yejiang Kingdom embroidery.

Thinking of the trees and unknown plants she had seen in the city when she first came to Yejiang, she suddenly thought about it and called the leading farmers to see if the land quality in Yejiang Country could be used to grow food, medicinal materials, etc. .

The result was gratifying. The people she sent brought good news. This grassland can be planted, but it needs to be well maintained. After all, the climate here is not as good as that of the Central Plains, and the land is not as fertile as the Central Plains. But for Jin Kelai She said it was already very good, and the seeds she brought from the Great Jin Kingdom were put to use.

She discussed with the chieftain and established a farm system. Each household was assigned a range based on population, surrounded by fences, and became their farm. The farmers of Dayin Kingdom taught them how to farm.

In addition to 20% of the food obtained from the future will be handed over to the royal family, 20% will be given to the farmer, and the remaining 60% will be returned to the family. This is undoubtedly good news for the subjects of Yejiang Kingdom!

However, Jin Ke also has her own little thoughts. The farmers are all hers, those farmers.

She is mainly afraid that officials will occupy land, food and labor in the future, forming a landlord class farm system, making her efforts in vain. It would be much more convenient to replace them with her own people. Her people are slaves and have no autonomy, but But she has the rights and freedom she has given her, and she has also made a rule that officials are not allowed to have farms in their names.

As soon as Jin Ke's policy came out, Yejiang Kingdom's courtiers had a high-ranking official with a Han surname, a peasant official! Together with the pastoral officer, they controlled the people's livelihood of Yejiang Kingdom.

Not only that, Jin Ke also opened departments such as a medical clinic, a music studio, and a dance studio, specializing in teaching techniques and treating diseases to the people of Ye Jiang Kingdom.

Jin Ke was busy going around. She divided the work among all the people she brought. The textile factory and dyeing workshop were also being opened. The teachers were not idle either. She asked them to give everyone in Ye Jiangguo a big book.

The Thousand-Character Inscriptions of the Kingdom of Jin are available to the courtiers and concubines in the harem.

When the chieftain got the Thousand-Character Document, he secretly thought, it is indeed so!

Jin Ke also set up several schools, located in different places, allowing the most pedantic and stubborn teachers to teach the slaves at the lowest level. The teachers used by the royal family were naturally the best, rich in knowledge and not stubborn.

The children of the royal family and the children of officials were taught together, so that some teachers could be saved, and those saved could be used to teach Chinese characters to the officials.

Jin Ke also called all the teachers together for a small meeting and asked them to incorporate the customs, culture and national customs of the Central Plains into their teaching of writing. Once they agreed, Jin Ke was satisfied.

You asked what to do if these teachers work against the will? This is nonsense! The smart teacher naturally understands what she means and knows the key. Needless to say, the pedantic teacher has a superior and arrogant temperament and is even more likely to praise himself.

Although this is the case, Jin Ke’s goal has been achieved.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and when the Emperor and the Crown Prince of Dajin saw Jin Ke's letter, they discussed it together for a long time, but could not come to a conclusion and had to discuss it later.

Jin Ke wrote about the current basic situation of Ye Jiang in the letter, and was worried that the courtiers would persuade Emperor Jin to attack Ye Jiang, so he added a few words in the letter, explaining the interests to Emperor Jin, and also talked about opening a trade route between the two countries.

Regarding this request, the emperor, the prince, and the important ministers in this regard discussed the trade route for a long time.

The people on the prince's side unanimously agreed, believing that in this way, the control over the Yejiang Kingdom would be strengthened, and people could be sent to establish a trading house in Yejiang, stay in Yejiang permanently, and break into Yejiang from the inside.

However, people represented by the Prime Minister hold different opinions. Their country, Dajin, lacks nothing. Trading with other countries has never happened in the ancestral system. They have food, drink, clothing and entertainment. Ye Jiang is the only one.

What good things can be found in a barbarian land? Such an unreasonable request to open a trade route is not advisable! It is not advisable!

The two sides exchanged words with each other and spent countless words without reaching a good result. The emperor waved his hand and said that they would discuss it later and first take a look at the situation in Ye Jiang Kingdom.

As summer passed and autumn came, Jin Ke stood on the field and looked at the growing crops. She smiled broadly and finally took the first step!

The climate on the grassland is humid and cold. The seeds must be planted in the summer and harvested in the autumn. However, the harvest will be relatively poor, but the night ginger is also a surprise!
Chapter completed!
