Chapter 252: Timur's grandson was shocked by the Ming capital



"The Public Security Department was established as an independent department. All its affairs are not accountable to the prefect, but only to the superior officer of the Public Security Department."

"This time the court arranged the deployment in Jiangnan region in order to see the results. You have a heavy responsibility here."

"Your Majesty attaches the most importance to the Jiangnan region, especially Suzhou and Songjiang. This time, I am not kidding when I ask you to go to Suzhou City to take charge. Your Majesty Changsun has placed great hopes on this matter."

"The first thing you need to do when you go there is to firmly grasp the military power. You don't need to give anyone face. If anyone goes against you, arrest them directly."

"Even the prefect of Suzhou wants to target you. Don't be afraid. But do you understand what I mean?"

Lan Yu said slowly.

This time, His Royal Highness Chang Sun didn't give much explanation, just a few short sentences.

There is a key sentence among them, that is, Suzhou’s military must be completely under one’s own control.

Lan Yu understood very well that this meant that, from now on, local military power would no longer be controlled by the prefects, but would be directly controlled by the imperial court.

Upon hearing this, Lantian replied in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, uncle. I will firmly control the military power. The brothers who follow me will not be able to stop me unless there is a rebellion in Suzhou City."

When Lan Rong heard his son's words, he reprimanded him again: "Even if Suzhou City is in rebellion, you have to suppress it!"

After being scolded, Lantian quickly bowed and said yes. He did not dare to disobey his father in the slightest.

Lan Yu nodded and said, "Your father is right. If anyone dares to rebel, we should suppress them directly. However, if such a mess happens, you will not have a good impression on His Royal Highness Chang Sun."

"Your Highness Changsun still wants to develop the prosperity of Suzhou City. He does not want you to go to Suzhou City to cause damage. You must pay attention to this."

"Especially in the area of ​​business, His Royal Highness Changsun attaches great importance to it, and this time, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce under His Royal Highness Changsun will also move into Suzhou City with you."

"This is your Highness's Chamber of Commerce. You should take good care of it and not let it suffer any injustice. If there is a boycott in Suzhou City, you must find a way to help eliminate it."

"We will truly develop Suzhou City again."

Lan Yu's words made Lan Tian feel pressured.

He is really a military man, but he has never been involved in business. Now when he wants to communicate about business matters, he doesn't know where to start.

There's definitely nothing wrong with messing around, the key is to get things done well.

"You don't need to worry too much. Just listen to the instructions of the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. If you encounter something you can't control, write to the capital. Your father and I can help you with your advice."

"Just be aware that the Heroes Chamber of Commerce was always controlled by His Royal Highness Chang Sun. Don't let anything unpleasant happen to them in this regard."

Lan Yu saw what was in Lan Tian's mind and gave him another warning.

Lantian was relieved and said, "With your words, I know what to do when I go to Suzhou City."

Lan Yu nodded and said, "Okay, you will leave tomorrow, so you should rest early today."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go and see your uncle off." Lan Rong scolded again.

Lantian is also in his thirties, but at this moment he is like a child.

After seeing Lan Yu off, Lan Tian returned to the lobby again.

"This opportunity is extremely rare. Your uncle has used up a lot of his connections on your behalf. He even brought your group of warriors over to you. So remember not to let your uncle, His Royal Highness Chang Sun, down."

Lan Rong gave this instruction, but since Lan Yu was not around, his tone was much softer.

"The child understands."

While Lantian was replying, he refilled his father's tea.

But he asked with some doubt: "Father, why don't I see my cousin and my younger cousin on the list of people going to Jiangnan this time?"

Lantian was asking about Lan Yu's two sons, Lan Naoer and Lan Taiping.

Lan Rong explained, "Originally, your uncle wanted to transfer them back, but His Royal Highness Chang Sun did not agree. It was His Royal Highness Chang Sun who personally crossed out your cousin's name from the list."

"According to His Royal Highness Chang Sun, your cousin and his family should have made other arrangements over there. You don't need to ask too much about these matters."

"Just remember what your uncle told you just now."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing you must pay attention to. His Royal Highness Chang Sun is a man of great benevolence and righteousness. He hates to see people being oppressed."

"You can do whatever you want to the local tyrants, but you must not oppress the people, and you must always rule for the people."

"Anyone who oppresses the people must be vindicated, no matter who it involves. This is what your uncle and your father discussed just now when you were not back."

"Now your uncle has returned all the Dongchang civilian land under the instruction of His Royal Highness Chang Sun. Now that His Royal Highness Chang Sun is here, there is no need to do anything to tarnish your reputation."

"When dealing with people, one should be careful about one's reputation."

Lan Rong taught seriously.

Today is different from the past, as the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers.

In fact, both Lan Yu and Lan Rong were not lacking in political wisdom.

The Lan family is not a small family. Its family tree can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. The Lan family, to which Lan Yu belongs, is also ranked very high among the entire Lan family.

Otherwise, Chang Yuchun would not have married Lan Yu's sister Lan as his wife.

The term "well-matched" still requires some refinement.

Strictly speaking, they are all clans with a long history.

There are quite a few civil and military officials in the family tree.

Lantian heard his father's teachings and nodded seriously.

Only by following the direction of His Royal Highness Chang Sun can the Lan family continue to prosper.

This day, the sun is shining brightly.

After a long journey of more than half a year, Piermahemah finally arrived at the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic in front of him, Piermahemah couldn't help but look shocked.

"Allah, this is incredible. There is such a magnificent city in the world. Even Samarkand seems too small compared to Zhejiang University and the Ming capital."

Pierma Heima couldn't help but exclaimed.

Nanjing, as the largest brick and stone city in the Ming Dynasty and even in the world in the future, is extremely shocking to those who see it from outside the city.

The tall and majestic city walls made Piermahema feel that even an army of hundreds of thousands would be unable to do anything to him.

The Mongolian envoy introduced with some pride: "Your Highness, you can't see much from the outside, please come in and take a look."

Piermahemata nodded.

As messengers, they do not need to queue up and have a special channel to enter directly.

Piermahema originally thought that the scene outside was shocking enough, but after entering, he found that this was just the beginning.

There are thirteen inner city gates and eighteen outer city gates, and the city is forty miles long, and more than one hundred and twenty miles long along the city. There are dozens of streets and hundreds of alleys in the city, all of which are densely populated with people and golden buildings.

The sound of flutes and drums on the painted boats continued day and night. Inside and outside the city, there were magnificent palaces and Buddhist temples with green tiles and red roofs.

There are many shops, busy streets, crowded pedestrians, and numerous advertising signs. On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there are Buddhist temples, government offices, theaters, residential houses, memorial archways, waterside pavilions, and city gates.

Tea houses, gold and silver shops, pharmacies, bathhouses, chicken and duck shops, pig shops, sheep shops, grain and oil shops, and grain shops were all available. In the Qinhuai River, grain transport ships, dragon boats, fishing boats, and even opera boats turned out from the Inner Qinhuai River.

Guards, actors, boatmen, postmen, fishermen, merchants, people of all identities gathered here. It seemed chaotic but was actually well-organized.

It took almost an hour to reach Tianjie Temple, and during this period, Pirmahema's mouth almost never closed.

Just like in the opera, when Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden, she was dazzled.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Tianjie Temple. You will have to stay here for the next few days. There will be eunuchs here to teach your Highness the etiquette of meeting the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After you learn it, you will be summoned by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

The Mongolian envoy coughed lightly, awakening the prince in front of him from his immersion, and then spoke.

Piermahemah came back to his senses and said with a sigh, "I really want Grandpa to come and see the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If he sees it, he will know that Samarkand, which he cares about now, is really boring."

After he finished speaking, he told the Mongolian envoy, "You go ahead. I'm going to take a walk around the capital. I'm a little hungry. This aroma is too tempting. I have to find something to eat."

"This, Your Highness, is not a good idea." The Mongolian envoy said hesitantly.

Pier Ma Hema said, "What's wrong with this? I'm here with the envoys to take a look at the Ming Dynasty. You can just do the handover."

"Besides, the tribute team is still a long way off. There's no rush, no rush."

The Mongolian envoy was helpless when he heard this, as he couldn't stop Piermahema anyway.

Piermahema, along with a few guards, headed straight into the city.

In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Pierma Heima was not eye-catching. There were quite a few Semites in the capital, and even more Mongols.

Pierma Heima and his group walking on the streets of the capital did not attract the attention of passers-by.

What Pierma Heima didn't know was that the movements of him and his group had long been under surveillance by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

From the moment he entered the city, the secret sentries of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had been keeping an eye on him.

"Hello, I want to ask which place in the capital has the best food."

Pierma Heima stopped a businessman who looked good passing by and asked.

The businessman who was stopped was a little unhappy at first, but after looking at Ma Heima and the guards behind him, he immediately smiled and introduced:

"If you ask someone else, you still won't know, but asking me is the right question."

"This Excellency must be your first time in the capital."

Pierma Heima nodded and replied, "It's my first time here, so I wanted to ask my friend to introduce it to me."

The merchant smiled even more happily and said, "There are so many people on this road, but you chose to stop me. This shows that we are destined to be together. It just so happens that I have nothing to do today. Come on, I will take you to see it for yourself today."

Piermahemama immediately agreed happily.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were really warm and welcoming. It was the first time he had such a feeling. Although he was a stranger, it seemed like they were old friends.

"In the capital, if you want to eat, you can't avoid the Ping An Teahouse by the Qinhuai River. Nowadays, in the entire capital, who doesn't know about the Ping An Teahouse if they are well-known?"

"But I'm telling you, most people can't afford this teahouse. Today I see that you look kind and I'm in a good mood, so I'll treat you to your first meal in the capital, but don't argue with me."

The businessman was walking and talking.

Upon hearing this, Pier Ma Heima nodded and said, "Good brother, thank you."

The businessman froze when he heard this and almost tripped over himself.

He was just saying something polite, but why was the person in front of him not polite at all?

I couldn't help cursing in my heart: "I don't know which little place he came from. I hope he won't lose money with this move."

However, looking at the various gems inlaid on Pierma Heima's waist, he still felt more at ease.

Behind the group, two Jinyiwei in linen clothes followed quietly.

Soon, another Jinyiwei came over and introduced the situation of Pierma Heima.

"This is an envoy from Samarkand. He is the grandson of the Persian emperor and came here to pay tribute. However, he did not go to Tianjie Temple with the envoys. He must have been shocked by the prosperity of the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

"So I brought a few guards and wandered around the capital."

After the Jinyiwei who was delivering the information finished speaking, he left immediately. In terms of responsibilities, the Jinyiwei had a clear division of labor and would not interfere too much.

The Timurid Empire is a historical name and it does not have a country name itself, including the Four Khanates, which also do not have a country name.

In official documents, Timur called himself "Shah", which roughly means the Emperor of Persia.

Different from the culture of the Central Plains dynasties, the people of the Timurid Empire generally used the monarch's name to represent the ruling area.

There are usually two Jinyiwei, with the old ones leading the new ones.

The young Jinyiwei couldn't help but say: "Boss, this guy, judging from the situation, could it be that he was tricked by someone?"

Another Jinyiwei heard this and said, "Just follow and take notes, and don't worry about other things."

"Also, that businessman is not an ordinary person. He is on record in our Jinyiwei. He is from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce and is under the command of His Royal Highness Changsun."

"Even if something happens, it's not something we can interfere with."
