Chapter 140: The Power of Capital
The content of this document is not complicated, but it just says one thing, that is, Daning City was attacked and disturbed.
Who is doing this?
It's the remnants of the Duoyan Sanwei, of course, it's the Horqin Department that is behind it.
Zhu Houzhao knew what was going on at a glance, the remaining Duoyan Sanwei, did they have the courage to attack Daning? There are a lot of people who have come to surrender.
Since the beginning of winter last year, there have been small tribes to surrender, and the reason is very simple, if you don't surrender, you can't survive, and Liaodong has also made proper arrangements for them, which Yang Yiqing also reported to Zhu Houzhao.
The remaining Duoyan Sanwei can't be effectively organized at all, and as for the Horqin Ministry, they still dare to provoke Daming?
Korqin is now estimated to have been in fear all day.
Zhu Houzhao knew that this time it must be the border army in Liaodong that did it, and as for why it was done, the reason was very simple. That is for the place where the Horqin Department is located, and the Horqin Department at this time should be called Horqin Wanhu, which is composed of thirty Etoks on the left and right wings.
The left-wing Qietuoke belonged to the king of Polu Naiqi and was nomadic in the Hulunbuir region, the lower reaches of the Onen River and the Nenjiang River basin. And the six Etoks owned by King Nayan Borot himself were roughly stationed in the upper reaches of the Onon River.
These places may not be familiar to later generations, but the Horqin grassland, even in later generations, is very famous, not to mention the Hulunbuir grassland.
Prices in the pastures of Liaodong are now skyrocketing, as wool and cashmere are soaring. And Liaodong is already trying to develop a mixed fabric made of cashmere and wool in a fixed proportion.
Zhu Houzhao knew that once this research and development was successful, it would be woolen material.
What woolen material means, Zhu Houzhao couldn't be clearer.
Woolen coats and woolen clothing will definitely appear in the market of Daming quickly, and they are definitely in short supply.
During this period, whether the wool imitations produced in the pastures of Liaodong were sold to North Korea or transported to the capital, they were basically sold out, and how many were sold.
The price is high, the supply exceeds the demand, what will be the result?
The answer is simple, and that is to expand production.
Under Zhu Houzhao's strict order, the pastures have begun to be sold, and only some pastures with abundant water and grass are sold, and the pastures with signs of desertification are not sold, and the places in the northeast that can reclaim land are not allowed to be sold.
This made the pastures in Liaodong begin to vacancy, and both the generals in Liaodong and the gentry and nobles who did business in Liaodong could not bear it.
Naturally, they didn't dare to make trouble with Zhu Houzhao, but they could think of other ways. Since the grasslands around Daning City are gone, let's go somewhere else.
I heard that the grassland in Horqin is very fertile, even if it is the grassland around Daning, it is incomparable.
Those people in Liaodong are going to flow down. The difference between good grassland and bad grassland is very obvious, just like the best irrigated land and saline-alkali land.
Even if the pastures around Daning are sold, they will also focus on the grasslands of Horqin, who would dislike their own grasslands for being small? Who would dislike the fertility of their pastures?
As for the destruction of the grasslands by these people, Zhu Houzhao is not worried, because these grasslands are their private things and financial resources, and they can't take care of them carefully.
If it is not divided and sold, but as a public pasture, then it will definitely be seriously damaged, but if it is divided into your own hands, it will be different immediately.
So this time the matter is very simple, that is what Liaodong's Jiangmen and Xungui Xunqi did together.
Zhu Houzhao dared to guarantee that now the capital is estimated to be in a commotion, and countless people will shout to punish Horqin.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly smiled. The greed of capital is far beyond everyone's imagination, Marx said that capitalism will be ready to move when there is 20% of the profits; If there is a fifty percent profit, capital will take risks; If there is a 100% profit, capital dares to risk hanging its head; If there is a profit of 300 percent, capital will dare to trample on all the laws of the world.
If unrest and strife bring profits, it encourages them, as evidenced by smuggling and the slave trade.
This theory has been confirmed countless times in later generations, and the arms dealer is afraid of you going to war?
He will be afraid of your peace, and the more you beat me, the happier I will be, and the more intense you fight, the happier I will be. Now it is capital that is forcing the country to go to war, which is also the sign of aggression and ****, using muskets and cannons to grab profits.
Don't think that those Confucian scholars who shout about benevolence, righteousness and morality will not play aggression, and people will label you as edification.
Zhu Houzhao felt that once he let go of this monster, then Da Ming would make you hand over your wealth with one hand and a musket in the other.
Thinking of that scene, Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled.
Handing the letter in his hand to Liu Jin beside him, Zhu Houzhao leaned back in his chair, thinking about his father in his heart, not knowing what his father was thinking at this time.
What was Zhu Youzhu thinking?
He wanted to curse.
At this time, in the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City, there were a large number of folds in front of Zhu Youjiao, and the content of the folds was very simple, all of them were for war.
Yang Yiqing, the governor of Liaodong, did not ask for battle, but only said that Liaodong was attacked and disturbed.
And the generals in Liaodong were not so polite, and they were all invited to fight. One is more fierce than the other, what is broken to serve the king, what Ming dignity cannot be trampled on, what is to be exterminated for His Majesty, anyway, it is a sentence, beat him.
Zhu Youzhu was even in a trance, is this Daming? Is this still the border army of the Ming Dynasty?
Once upon a time, the border army of the Ming Dynasty was so timid that people wanted to kill. When you see a Tartar, you run and want me to go out to fight, it's impossible. But now? Who are these screamers?
This made Zhu Youzhu have an illusion, this is not the Ming Dynasty but the strong man and the Tang Dynasty, who will be beaten and beaten if anyone is not pleasing to the eye. Anyway, it's just fighting, fighting, and Zhu Youzhu's heart is pounding.
What surprised Zhu Youzhu even more was that he didn't know who spread the news, and then the capital set off an atmosphere of extermination.
First the nobles and relatives of the honors, and then the civil officials, who said on weekdays that "although the country is big, the belligerent will perish" and "the court is in trouble, and it should not be provoked without permission" is gone.
Instead, it was all shouting and shouting at Horqin, and Zhu Youzhu felt that his three views had been subverted again.
Of course, it was not because the three views were subverted that Zhu Youzhu was depressed, but because he remembered his son's words, Zhu Youzhu felt depressed.
At the beginning, his son said that in two years at most, Liaodong would start a war again, and it would be against Horqin.
The reason is also very simple, the pastures of Horqin are so fertile that too many people want to swallow them in one bite.
Zhu Youzhu didn't believe it originally, but it hasn't been a year yet!
