They actually found gold and silver mines.
In addition, she not only opened up trade with the four countries, but also opened up maritime trade.
In fact, trade exchanges have never stopped in secret, but because the imperial court banned it, they were not brought to the surface.
If merchants only need to handle the relevant documents, they can trade with other countries openly.
If it greatly stimulated the economy of Huangming Country, the economic growth rate would be extremely fast. Some border cities would quickly become prosperous and the livelihood problems of many civilians in the disaster areas would be solved.
The plan to move the imperial capital had already been announced, and there had been no protests.
On the contrary, many people in the disaster-stricken areas volunteered to help at the construction sites.
In short, as Su Qiao promulgated policies that benefited the country and the people, the entire Huangming Kingdom began to prosper.
When the agreed six-month period was up, Su Qiao prepared to move the capital.
Unexpectedly, the envoy from the Eastern Jin Dynasty arrived first.
"bride price?"
Su Qiao looked at the Eastern Jin envoys below and the long stacks of betrothal gift lists in their hands, feeling a little confused.
Is there still such a thing as a betrothal gift
It seems like they haven't discussed this before
The ministers of Huangming State were not happy with this and stepped forward immediately.
"Your Majesty, I, Huang Ming, have always been a woman who married a man and gave a betrothal gift to the man's family. Have you ever seen a man give a betrothal gift to a woman's family?"
"Yes, they are insulting us."
"We absolutely cannot accept such insulting behavior!"
The Eastern Jin envoy was a little anxious and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, my emperor absolutely did not mean that. It is just in accordance with the tradition of my Eastern Jin Dynasty. This represents my emperor's attention and respect for your Majesty. Please don't misunderstand your Majesty."
Unfortunately, the ministers of Huangming Kingdom did not buy it at all.
"Your Majesty..."
Su Qiao glanced over coldly: "What's the hurry?"
"Each country has different customs and practices. The Eastern Jin Dynasty can follow their traditions, and our country can also follow our traditions."
Master Wen and Master Si looked at each other and both stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty is wise. We will discuss sending a generous betrothal gift to Dongjin immediately."
Eastern Jin envoy: “…”
He knew that this trip would not be so smooth.
He had advised other ministers and His Majesty before that it would be best to discuss this matter with Queen Huangming in private first, but they refused to listen.
That's better.
Where should the Eastern Jin Dynasty put its face
Your Majesty... Your Majesty has brought this upon himself.
He can't control it anymore.
The envoys from the Eastern Jin Dynasty simply gave up.
What else can we do
Now even Beiyao and Xiyu have become vassal states of Huangming. The monarchs of the two countries have to pay tribute to the Queen of Huangming and obediently offer tribute. No matter how powerful the Eastern Jin Dynasty is, can it be stronger than Huangming
It was all the fault of those pedantic officials in the court. The Eastern Jin Dynasty is doomed to lose face.
Su Qiao did not really go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to present the betrothal gift in a high-profile manner. She just did it as a token of her appreciation to sound a warning to those pedantic and patriarchal courtiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Despite this, the news that Huangming Country had sent out a betrothal gift quickly spread throughout the four countries.
When Ye Lihan received the betrothal gift, his expression was exactly the opposite of the constipated faces of the court officials. He was very happy.
He immediately stuffed all the betrothal gifts into his own private vault and arranged them personally.
Ministers: “…” Is their Eastern Jin Dynasty very poor
Although I haven’t heard of someone like Huangming suddenly finding gold and silver mines somewhere, it’s not too poor, right
Why does their emperor act like a refugee who has never seen money
