Zhao knew that the problem that Ying Jieyan mentioned was very realistic, and that the Mongols had expanded everywhere since the establishment of Temujin, plundering wealth, and using this as a fundamental source to grow. After the establishment www.biquge.info of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan also inherited the ancestral genes to wage foreign wars many times, and as the new emperor of China, he demanded that the other countries of the Far East swear allegiance to him, and according to traditional Chinese policy, these countries were regarded as its natural satellites. Dream of becoming the Great Khan of the unified world.

Therefore, it has successively fought against Japan, Annam, Champong, Burma, and even Java, which can be said to be an endless battle of life. However, these countries are poor, and they are still stubborn and dependent, and they are obedient today, and they will change their words tomorrow if they don't get it right. Either he resolutely refused to give in and fought against them, so that Kublai Khan had to launch expeditions again and again, entangled with these countries.

Goryeo had already conquered the rebellious Khitan tribes when the Mongols were chasing them, and they did not treat the sticks as human beings, and every time they went on an expedition, they were ordered to send troops, build ships, and prepare food, which made them miserable, and they tossed from time to time; In addition, Kublai Khan demanded that the Japanese pledge allegiance to him, but the Japanese were not interested in this, and he launched an invasion war in the first two years in a fit of anger, and the result was a defeat and defeat.

In addition, Kublai Khan's wars against Annam, Champa and Burma did not go well. After the Mongols destroyed Dali, they wanted to recruit Annan, but they had strong national strength and detained the Mongolian envoys, so they had to solve it by force. After that, Annam and the Yuan Dynasty only maintained a tributary relationship, and as far as Zhao Yu knew, they were losing their temper again and did not want to give gifts to Kublai Khan.

As for the Champa side, Kublai Khan's envoys were talking, and the two sides had not yet reached a consensus. The Burmese side is not very smooth, the Yuan Dynasty sent an envoy to appease the Burmese country, the result was that the envoy was killed, last year the Burmese king sent troops to attack the Golden Tooth Department, although the Yuan army was repulsed, but the war was not completely over. And Java is also urinating him, Kublai Khan is now mobilizing his army, preparing grain and grass, and preparing for dry racks......

"Most of the Tartars are northerners, and the nations they want to conquer either go on expeditions across the sea, or go deep into the hot and humid land, and their riding and archery skills are difficult to play. Moreover, these places are not rich in products, the country is poor and the people are poor, but the people are fierce and aggressive. As a result, the Mongols spent a lot of money on the expedition, suffered heavy losses in their troops, and it was difficult to make contributions, so they often rebelled. Zhao Hao can only explain this question one by one, if he can't convince him, how can he be expected to run for himself!

"Well, Your Majesty's intention is that the frequent expeditions of the Tartars not only cost the army and the army, but also make the finances unable to make ends meet!" Ying Jieyan nodded, and agreed with Zhao Yu's statement, but then he said, "Goryeo, Champong and other feudal empires are all projectile lands, even if the losses are very heavy, they cover an area of 10,000 miles, and they can have millions of soldiers in ten days, but I am afraid that they will not be able to shake their foundation."

"What the gentleman said is true, but you must know that the soldiers sent by the Tartars are all elite divisions of a hundred battles, and if they are all damaged, those newly recruited soldiers will be a rabble, and no number can be compared. And the Tartars were in civil strife, so they had to gather heavy troops in the northwest to prevent the kings from rebelling. Zhao Yu said that he knew that Kublai Khan would not only launch a war against Zhancheng in the past two years, but also conquer Japan again, and these two battles caused the Yuan army to lose 200,000 people, and also died to instigate a few generals such as Du. But these may change because of their own arrival, so the words are also pointed.

"Oh, hasn't Brother Ali Bu in the Northwest already been pacified?" Ying Jieyan also led the troops, and knew the difference between an army of a hundred battles and an army that had just been recruited, and the lessons of the Great Song Dynasty in this regard were too deep. And the Tartar civil strife He also knew that the little emperor was able to get out of the Xing Dynasty through Ali Buge's rebellion, but he thought that Kublai Khan had been on the throne for more than 20 years, and he still couldn't completely quell the civil strife, which still made him hard to believe.

"Sir, it's true, but it's not anyone's business that the Tartars are in turmoil, but they have planted ...... at the beginning of their country," Zhao said with a smile. He understood that in an era when the means of information transmission were extremely backward and slow, there were also great limitations in the understanding of the outside world by people such as Ying Jieyan. They don't know much about the Mongols, who have always been regarded as vassals, and the lack of language and writing makes them not as good as they are about the Mongols, who were born 800 years later.

So Zhao Hao, a second hanger, could only be a teacher. As far as he knew, the succession of the Mongol Khan was a major mistake of Genghis Khan, who appointed three sons and swore allegiance to him, and on the other hand, ordered that public restraint must be adopted. This paradoxical approach will bring hidden dangers to future generations. Until the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, his descendants were not able to solve the problem of the smooth transfer of imperial power. As a result, almost every succession to the throne was accompanied by infighting, wars, and killings, which quickly weakened Mongolia itself.

By the time Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, the four Han kingdoms were already in a state of independence, and not only could not carry out government decrees, but also fought with each other. Kublai Khan pursued a dualistic policy, and the direction of this policy depended on whether people regarded Kublai Khan as the successor of Genghis Khan, the Great Khan, or as the successor of the Central Plains Dynasty of China, the Son of Heaven.

From the point of view of the Mongols, he consistently maintained the spiritual unity of Genghis Khan's empire in principle. As the supreme khan, the heir to the reign of Genghis Khan and Möngke, Hulegu, Abha, and Aruhun were only subordinate khans, the high governor Il-Khan, who wanted to be appointed by him and maintained close ties with him, so he insisted that the princes and sons of Genghis Khan's feudal lords should also obey him.

However, in fact, every large fiefdom of the Mongol Empire had become an autonomous khanate, and Kublai Khan's only option to force the Ögedai and Chagatai families into submission was war. For him, expeditions against the "colonies" were inferior to wars to pacify the khanates, especially against the grandson of Ögedei, Haidu, who ruled the patrilineal domains of the Yemili River valley and the Tarbagatai mountains. They remained faithful to the old traditions and lived their national way of life, in stark contrast to Kublai Khan, who had become semi-Chinese.

Needless to say, many Mongols and Mongolized Turks watched with astonishment the change of rule in the conquered regions of China and the transformation of the Mongol Great Khan into the Son of Heaven of China, and in their eyes the Tolei family, represented by Kublai Khan, seemed to have abandoned the pure Genghis Khan-Mongol tradition, and Ali Buge was only the first representative of this opposition, with Haidu playing the same role.

In fact, the Ögedei family had already lost power by the time Möngke became the Great Khan, and Genghis Khan's inheritance was transferred to the Tolei family. As the heir of the Ogedai family, Haidu must have been unwilling, he first defeated the Eight Thorns of the Chagatai family, occupied the Ili River Valley and Kashgar, leaving only the Hezhong region to the Eight Thorns, and the successors of the Eight Thorns became the vassals of Haidu arbitrarily abolished.

Haidu felt that as the ruler of Yemik, the Ili River Valley, Kashgar, and the suzerainty of the Chagatai kings, his status was already the same as that of Kublai Khan as the Khan of the Central Plains, and he was naturally unwilling to submit to him. Then he invaded the Mongol Empire for many years, although he failed to take any advantage, but until the death of Kublai Khan, the rebellion in Haidu did not subside. It can be seen that soon after Kublai Khan became Khan, the Western Khanate of Mongolia had already disassociated itself from the Mongol Empire. And he also knew very well in his heart that the reason why the host kings were honest was only because their power was not big enough......

"Alas, the minister also prides himself on being erudite and versatile, and today he knows that he is nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well." Ying Jie Yan listened and sighed. What the little emperor said just now was mostly something he had never heard of, so he couldn't talk about knowing himself and his opponent, which made him feel ashamed of himself.

"Eh, I'm just reading a few books confiscated from the thieves and knowing some skins!" Of course, Zhao Yu would not say that he brought it from his previous life, but he couldn't make something out of nothing, so he had to push it on Pu Shougeng, a dead ghost.

"I see, but how can there be such books in the thief's house?" Ying Jieyan nodded, and then asked if he felt that something was wrong.

"Sir forgot, the thief is a businessman. They went wherever they had money, and some people inevitably recorded what they saw and heard along the way, thinking that it was obtained from them. Zhao Yu explained.

"Your Majesty still has a heart, those merchants have footprints all over the north and south, but they also need to know the customs and products, the local customs, and avoid the war. If they had memorized it, it would have been true, but the world thought that these were made by merchants and were vulgar, and they discarded them, but they did not know that there was merit in them. Ying Jieyan nodded, obviously believing it.

"From my point of view, the notes contained in these notes can corroborate each other, and after Boyan pacified Jiangnan, he led the army to Helin, obviously the northwest was not appeased, in case the kings rebelled. If Kublai Khan sends an expedition again, it will definitely lead to the emptiness of his Jiangnan, and then this is our chance! Zhao Yu said.

"Well, at that time, the enemy army will suffer heavy losses, there will be no troops available, and the northern army will not dare to move south, which is indeed a good opportunity." Ying Jieyan pondered for a moment and said, Jue's little emperor's calculation is really not bad.

"Now Jiangnan has implemented the banknote law for only a year before there is chaos, Quanzhou can only exchange copper coins for 5,000 yuan, obviously its finances have been unable to make ends meet, can only rely on the over-issuance of banknotes to make up for the shortfall, will certainly cause dissatisfaction. In order to support the needs of the war, the Tartars could only be satisfied by expropriating money or constantly overissuing paper money, when prices soared and the people lived in hardship, which would inevitably lead to boiling resentment. After talking about the external situation, Zhao Yu said about the money again.

"The Tartars are the most important to profit from the monopoly, and Your Majesty is now selling a large number of salt to Quang Nam and the two roads, which is also intended to cut off its financial route, right?" Ying Jieyan smiled.

"Sir, the sale of salt in the Tartars is taxed heavily, and each salt is worth 100 yuan, and the catty of salt reaches as much as 250 wen, so that some people have to lick the soil for food. I am also doing this to relieve the difficulties of the people, not for personal gain! Zhao Yu looked at Ying Jieyan's playful expression, and immediately said with a straight face.

"Oh, before, the salt sold by the Tartars could not attract more than ten taels of silver, and then it dropped to seven taels, and after invading Jiangnan, it was only a hundred catties of salt, but now it has risen to such a point, so it seems that Your Majesty is indeed for the benefit of my Great Song Dynasty Li Min!" Ying Jieyan thought about what the little emperor said was right, although the salt seems to be eaten less, but you must also know that Baiwen Qian can also make a medium-sized family eat three meals a day before, and the price is ridiculously high compared to the two sides, and the poor naturally can't afford to eat salt.

As an important minister of the state, Ying Jieyan naturally knew that although the Changhua Military Salt Farm was not fully put into production, the salt produced in Qiongzhou was already in surplus, and although it was as low as 30 catties, it was also a large number of unsalable. For this reason, they also held a court meeting to discuss the matter, and then suddenly a large number of merchants bought it to alleviate it. As for who bought it, the people didn't care. But he knew that the little emperor still had a secret team in his hands - the Bureau.

Ying Jieyan is an old man, and he knows very well that the bureau has always been a rake for His Majesty's money, they not only have their own fleet, but also have financial support, and there are more channels for exchanges, how could they give up such an oily business! But the righteousness that the little emperor said was awe-inspiring, and it really made the people eat salt, and it really made you unable to find fault. In short, this can be regarded as a tripartite benefit, and the fertilizer and water have not flowed into the fields of outsiders, but the income is really eye-catching.

"The monopoly on salt and iron tea gets the most, but unfortunately Qiongzhou is narrow, and it is difficult to compete with the Tartars for profit, otherwise they will have no harvest!" Zhao Yu was a little unsatisfied.

"Hehe, the Tatar tax revenue, in addition to the monopoly, is the most abundant in the sea trade. Your Majesty's recent expedition to Quanzhou will definitely hit it hard, and this year's tariffs will be greatly discounted! Ying Jieyan now pondered, the little emperor must have been premeditated to sell salt, he returned from the Eastern Expedition, and ordered the navy to destroy the salt works along the way several times for today, plus the Quanzhou was washed again, Kublai Khan suffered a big loss, and he couldn't help but smile and said.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the Eastern Expedition this year, I was worried that the Tartars would take the opportunity to attack Qiongzhou, and I would definitely send a navy to cut off the waterway through Qiongzhou, and the trade routes in the Western Regions had already been controlled by Kublai Khan's brothers and nephews, so not only would he have less income, but I am afraid that he would have to discuss with us if he wants to buy some spices!" Zhao Hao snorted coldly when he heard this, as if he had suffered a loss.

"If Your Majesty is really like this, I'm afraid that Kublai Khan will come to our door first!" Ying Jieyan looked at the appearance of the little emperor's philistine, and said helplessly and funny.

"Sizzle...... Mr. reminded us that if we offend Kublai Khan's thief ruthlessly, maybe we will really be destroyed first in one go. So how can we lead the water to the outside world! Ying Jieyan's words immediately aroused Zhao Yu's vigilance, cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing his parents, Kublai Khan was angry with himself to the death, with Qiongzhou's strength really can't consume him. But how can you get rich in silence, and someone has to be blacked out? He said that he fell into deep thought......
