It's night, Liaodong Shengjing, Fanfu.

Fan Wencheng is hosting a banquet to entertain two guests who have come from afar.

"Brother Fan, Brother Tian, thanks to you and others, this batch of grain came too timely."

Fan Wencheng raised his wine glass and congratulated Fan Yongdou and Tian Shenglan Yao, who were sitting down.

The two of them didn't dare to slack off, and they both raised their wine glasses.

"Fan Gongyan is serious, since Lao Khan, we have worked for Dajin, and we have been friends for more than ten years, so why worry about trivial things."

As he spoke, the three of them drank the cup bitterly.

"I heard that the little emperor of the Ming Kingdom issued a ban, I wonder if the two of you are still peaceful along the way?"

After Li Yongfang was captured, the Jurchen intelligence network was subjected to a round of bloodbath, and the transmission of some Ming Dynasty confidential information was not as smooth as before.

But Zhu Youzhen's ban on trade with the Jin State with great fanfare, even if there was no secret agent, Fan Yongdou knew it clearly, because in the latest period, the materials smuggled from the Ming Dynasty to the Jin State were obviously less than half.

In this regard, Huang Taiji was furious, and after the defeat of Hudun Rabbit, he wanted to rely on smuggling trade to help Jurchen survive this green and yellow spring, but he didn't expect to be attacked by Emperor Ming first.

'A teenage doll can think so deeply, take one step and see three steps, not only the martial arts are unexpected, Wen Tao is also the first to emerge, since Zhu Di, the Southern Dynasty for more than 200 years has also had the appearance of a British doll, alas, it seems that this Southern Dynasty is really unfinished. ’

These are the original words of Huang Taiji at the Sibeile political meeting a few days ago.

Revitalizing the Dongjiang River, strengthening the walls of Liaoxi, contacting Mongolia, and banning trade, Zhu Youzhen came down with these axes, and the Jin State could no longer bear it.

Moreover, these axes are all strategies that benefit but do not cost money, and they did not use any soldiers or spend a few taels of silver, but they trapped a golden country like a cage.

Huang Taiji had no choice but to intensify the oppression of Korean and Mongolian vassals, but even so, one stone of rice in the Jin Kingdom still rose to ten taels of silver, and the tragedy of cannibalism was inevitable.

Huang Taiji discussed with Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng for a long time, but he didn't come up with an immediate charter.

However, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai came up with a plan to let Huang Taiji follow the example of the old Khan Nurhachi and kill the people without grain.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, there was a severe drought in eastern Liaoning, and grain production was reduced, and by the spring of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the famine reached its peak.

In this regard, the old slave chief Nurhachi innovatively issued a decree: divide those who have grain and those who do not.

Those who have seven buckets of grain in each mouth are those who have grain, and those who have less than seven buckets but have livestock are also allowed to do so, and the rest of the people are included in the ranks of those who have no grain.

For the people without grain, there was only one word left in the eyes of the old slave chieftain "kill", so hundreds of thousands of Han people in Liaodong died in this massacre.

In the following famine years, the Jin country relied on this policy to survive smoothly.

At this time, under the advice of Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji was also a little moved, but after careful deduction, he had no choice but to give up.

During the reign of Lao Khan, there were more than 200,000 Han people in Liaodong, and after several rounds of military disasters and massacres escaped, at this time, there were only hundreds of thousands of Han people left in Liaodong, and there was really no one to kill again, what is the difference between a country without subjects and the nomadic barbarians in Mongolia.

Unlike Lao Khan, Huang Taiji's policy program after coming to power was to transform the Jin State from a slave society to a feudal society, and it was not what he wanted to engage in a slave society.

Besides, the old slave chieftain killed too hard, even if Huang Taiji wanted to, he now has no population base.

After discussion, Huang Taiji finally decided to go to North Korea to grab a handful.

Although North Korea is poor, it still has three taels of oil for its bones. ’

Thinking like this, Huang Taiji ordered Amin and Mang Gurtai to each bring 10,000 troops to North Korea to get some food.

At the same time, Huang Taiji also made another preparation, sending an envoy to the Southern Dynasty to negotiate peace, if the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was successfully fooled, then the current situation of the Jin Kingdom can be easily solved.

In addition, Huang Taiji also increased the purchase price of strategic materials in the Ming Dynasty, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and how much smuggled materials can get.

So there was a scene where Fan Wencheng set up a banquet to entertain Fan Yongdou and Tian Shenglan at the beginning.

Moreover, before that, Huang Taiji also met with these two smugglers in person for the first time, which was really encouraging.

"Don't hide it from Fan Gong, it took a lot of effort to come this time, I couldn't go there in Dushikou before, the front line of Xuanda is full of soldiers, and it is quite strict, there are brocade guards watching, and the silver is not good."

"And the Ming Emperor is a special chicken thief, in order to avoid the accommodation of the soldiers guarding the pass, he also ordered that the soldiers who intercepted the materials could get one percent of the materials.

Fan Yongdou took a sip of wine as he spoke, and glanced at Tian Shenglan with his eyes.

"What Brother Fan said is that the materials transported by the two of us this time are worth four or five hundred thousand taels, and the wealth is moving, and the four or fifty thousand taels of silver are made in an open and honest manner, which one is not red-eyed."

Tian Shenglan naturally received Fan Yongdou's signal, and then added with an indignant face.

How could Fan Wencheng not understand the small movements of these two people, and sit on the ground and raise the price.

"Emperor Ming's plan is really vicious, I don't know where the two of you came from?"

Fan Wencheng squinted his eyes and asked casually.

"Hahaha, this is the foundation of our lives, Fan Gong should leave me a way to live."

As for where to get out, Fan Yongdou and Tian Shenglan naturally will not explain easily, in the current grim situation, the way is wealth.

Fan Yongdou then snorted and prevaricated the matter.

At this time, it is the time to rely on these undisciplined smugglers, and if people don't talk about it, Fan Wencheng can't ask again.

It's good to get food, as for where to get out of the customs, Fan Wencheng naturally has other ways to know.

Then he picked up the wine bowl, punished himself with a glass, and then called a few singers, and the atmosphere became lively again.

..........

In Daming, ten days later, late at night, a team of more than 30 carriages slowly drove into the capital, along Chongwen Street, and went straight to the Forbidden City.

Then the palace gate of Xuanwu Gate slowly opened, and several eunuchs came out to lift the threshold open, and the carriage drove in directly.

"Lao Cao, you did a good job this time."

In the darkness, a young man in a bright yellow suit stood on the steps, looking at the more than 30 silver cars and smiling.

"Your Majesty, this is just the old slave's business."

In front of Gao Qiqian, Cao Huachun looked proud.

'Dead fat, angry. ’

In the dark, behind Zhu Youzhen, Gao Qiqian secretly took a sip.

Compared with Gao Qiqian, Cao Huachun has been more and more used by Zhu Youzhen since he came back from Nanjing, so Gao Qiqian also has a little guard against this Cao Fat Man.

Regarding the open and secret battles between Gao Qiqian, Wang Tiqian and Cao Huachun, Zhu Youzhen knew everything clearly.

The reputation of these three great eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty is more stinky than the other in history, but Wang Chengen, a batch of young eunuchs personally promoted by Zhu Youzhen, is generally young, even if he is not very assured, Zhu Youzhen can only use it first.

Fortunately, although these eunuchs have a bad reputation, they are still very effective, and Zhu Youzhen has no reason to change them for the time being.

Let him pinch each other. ’

Zhu Youzhen thought in his heart, and his eyes fell on those silver cars again.

According to the previous mutual response of Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Huachun, and Zheng Jun, it is roughly estimated that more than 5 million taels of silver, more than 1 million taels of gold, and gold, silver, and bronze artifacts were seized in this raid.

The silver that entered the palace tonight is only part of it, and the remaining silver is staying quietly in the Generalissimo Xishan's mansion at this time, and it is planned to be transported into the palace at night in the next few days.

With this silver, Zhu Youzhen's Xishan Generalissimo's Mansion can finally recruit troops and build a large number of buildings.

Sugar factories, glass factories, and textile factories are also about to break ground one after another, and the original soap factories, steel factories, and weapons factories can also be expanded.

In addition, regarding overseas trade, Zhu Youzhen also had the idea of intervening, but the premise was that the pirates Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang had to be solved first.

'Alas, it's a long way to go. ’

With a long sigh, Zhu Youzhen turned around and went back to Kunning Palace.
