“…… It has been a few days since the ministers drove to the Xuanfu, checking the people's situation and thinking about the past and the present, and the trouble of the Ming border pass lies in Tatar.

Tatars, herdsmen too! Good at horseback hunting, and have no fixed place, migrate with the grassland waters, come in spring and autumn, go in summer and winter, come in an instant, gather troops and go, so the Ming Dynasty can not annihilate the enemy with all its strength.

As the saying goes: it is the best policy to gather all the people to get rid of the trouble, and it is the best policy to destroy the enemy without spending a single soldier. The wolf is enclosed on a rope to form a family dog, and the wild horse is equipped with a saddle to form a mount. The minister thought that the Tatar was a vicious wolf, eating the people of the Ming Dynasty, and if he wanted to subdue him, he must be roped.

Rope, interest also! The ministers discussed the affairs of the market with the Tatars, gave up small profits and took into account the overall situation, built a new city and set up a mutual market, and set the prairie on fire with a spark, so that the Tatars could have a fixed place to live, and built houses without cattle and horses, supplemented by education, so that they could understand etiquette and know the etiquette, then the trouble of the border pass could be eliminated.

Ten years later, there are Tatars who speak Chinese, can read Confucius and Mencius, and have the prince of heaven and earth in their hearts.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes competed for hegemony, and all ethnic groups were merged, becoming China. Since the birth of our Chinese people, we have adopted the strengths of various ethnic groups in many ways such as migration, aggregation, and war, and integrated many non-Chinese clans, which is national integration.

Therefore, the minister thought that the trouble of removing the Tatars was integration. Now to Fang City as a trial example, in the new city to set up the government, school, to restrain the Tatar and Han people, if this law can be achieved, then increase the Fang City to bind the barbarians, since then, the Ming Dynasty has no external troubles, the world is peaceful, this minister wishes!

Xincheng is also a fang city, based on business, so the ministers asked to break the convention, set up commercial officials, manage commercial affairs, and collect commercial taxes.

The minister has been away from Beijing for more than ten days, but the minister thinks of the king, such as the young son misses the old man, the milk tiger cares about the mountain king, the minister is looking forward to returning to Beijing, serving the king in front of the bed, in order to show the loyalty of the minister.

Ministers Cao Wei is respectful!

Your Majesty, three scholars, this is the letter sent by Cao Wei through the Jinyi Guard's Express Horse. ”

After Mu Bin finished reading the letter, he stood aside, and Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "If the three bachelors have any ideas, you might as well talk to me." ”

After a moment of silence, Liu Jian arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, is Cao Wei too whimsical, can a single fang market make the Tatars jump off their horses and farm like the Han people?" Once the Tatar Khan discovered the drawbacks, he only needed to send thousands of cavalry to destroy the new city......"

"Liu Gong's words are wrong!" Mu Bin shook his head and said, "Hasn't Gong Liu heard of the truth of boiling frogs in warm water?" If you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out and run away in an instant, but if you put it in warm water and slowly heat the water, then by the time it finds itself in danger, it will be too late.

Cao Wei's move is this reason, first build a new city as a place for testing, and if there is an effect, then slowly draw it. As Cao Wei said, once this method is effective, the Ming Dynasty will have no external troubles from now on! Even if in the end the Tatar Khan found out about the drawbacks and wanted to destroy the new city, would the Tatar herdsmen agree? After all, that's their hard work.

Once the Tatars got used to settling, accustomed to farming, and let them go back to life on horseback and live adrift, would they agree? ”

Boiled frogs in warm water were casually said by Cao Wei when chatting with Mu Bin, Mu Bin didn't believe it at the time, but after going back, he personally tested it and found that what Cao Wei said was indeed right. Today, I happened to behave in front of the emperor and the three scholars, and I felt a lot of face when I looked at the three well-read bachelors with a stunned look.

Li Dongyang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he might as well test it according to what Cao Wei said, it is done, I will be peaceful for all generations, and the court will not have much to lose, why not?" ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "I think so too......"

"Your Majesty!" Xie Qian suddenly spoke: "Building a new city to melt Tatar, this method is ingenious, you can try it." But the minister thinks that there are two things wrong, one is that Shinong is the last businessman, how can there be a reason to let the businessman be an official? Cao Weijuan's request to set up a commercial official is one of the inappropriate.

Second, what Master Mu just read was not so much a letter as a fold, and Cao Wei wrote the fold in the form of a letter, not directly to His Majesty, but sent it to Mu Shuai, which is disrespectful to His Majesty, which is inappropriate.

The minister once heard Li Gongyan that Cao Wei's son was very smart, but now he has done such a ridiculous thing, or it is caused by arrogance, and he asked His Majesty to investigate. The minister has been an official for many years, and I have seen many juniors because they are young and vigorous, and they are biased, so that they later made mistakes.

Therefore, the minister thought that even if Cao Wei was not punished, he should be given some warnings, otherwise once the arrogance gradually rose, Daming would lose a rising star. ”

Xie Qian was not speaking ill of Cao Wei, but in disguised form affirming Cao Wei's opinion, building a new city and integrating the Tatars. But from the perspective of a bystander, he circled the inappropriateness of Cao Wei's actions, and he could also see that he was fair and impartial.

Mu Bin said with a smile: "What Gong Xie said is from the bottom of his heart, but the old man does not dare to agree. Cao Wei has already said that the new city is also a fang city, which is business-oriented, so it is necessary to set up commercial officials to manage business. Moreover, in addition to the business officials, it is necessary to set up a county to manage the people's livelihood, and complement each other in order to govern this special city.

As for what Gong Xie just said, why Cao Wei sent the letter to the old man instead of His Majesty...... Does Gong Xie remember that the old man went to Nanjing not long ago to pick up His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Naturally, I remember." ”

"The old man was intercepted and killed by thieves at that time, and it can be said that he died nine times, and finally he was able to reach Nanjing City under the desperate protection of many subordinates. This Jingshi is not as clean as you imagined Gong Xie, presumably Cao Wei also saw this, so he sent the fold to the old man through the Jinyi Guard.

As for the warning, as an elder of Cao Wei, Gong Xie already has the responsibility of warning, so why bother Your Majesty! ”

Xie Qian frowned slightly, and said, "What does Master Mu mean by this?" When did the old man become Cao Wei's elder? ”

Mu Bin's eyes widened, his expression gradually became strange, and he scratched his head and said, "Don't you know?" Cao Wei's wife's name is Xie Wan, and she is the eldest daughter of Xie Ping, the commander of Fuping County, so it stands to reason that Cao Wei should also call you an uncle......"

Xie Qian was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Li Dongyang arched his hand and said: "Gong Xie, that Cao Wei has made a lot of contributions to the country at a young age, and in less than three years, he has changed from a white Ding to the current dignitary uncle, a waiter in the East Palace and a soothing envoy of Jinyi Weizhen. Because of his low-key approach, he has always been famous, but he is definitely the first person of the younger generation.

Gong Xie is really lucky, he has such a good descendant, if he hadn't married a wife, the old man would really want to marry his daughter to him. ”

Zhu Youzhu scolded with a smile: "If I have a princess, where will I get your turn!" Yu Qiao, if you have any holiday between you and Cao Xiaozi, I will be a peacemaker here today to resolve the grievances between the two of you, what do you think? ”

Xie Qian reacted from the shock and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, there is no festival between the minister and Cao Wei, just with the minister's brother Xie Ping...... The minister was in a trance, so he retired first! ”

After Xie moved away, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian also surrendered one after another. Zhu Youzhu frowned and said, "What's going on?" ”

Mu Bin raised his eyebrows and said, "Then who knows, it may be that he is full." Your Majesty, Cao Wei also wrote a letter to the minister, asking His Majesty to read it. ”
