With such a large territory of the five northwestern provinces planting rapeseed, cotton, potatoes and other cash crops, this output is enough to be described as terrifying, how is Zhang Bin going to digest it?

He's still waiting, waiting for a piece of news, and once the news comes back, he can start digesting these cash crops.

Soon after he returned to Beijing, Zhao Ru, several officials of the Ministry of Industry, and several elite teams of special operations battalions rushed back from outside the Saiwai in a simple manner, and what they brought back was exactly the news that Zhang Bin wanted, or a map, a map of the distribution of coal mines and iron mines outside the Saiwai.

After Zhang Bin got the map, he just looked at it a little and rushed to the imperial study.

Zhu Cihong is also a very diligent emperor, his diligence is definitely not under Chongzhen, however, he is not as suspicious as Chongzhen, nor is Chongzhen so stubborn, he is quite trusting of capable ministers and officials, whoever has the ability will be on the top, whoever can make achievements will rise quickly, don't worry about any traitors and villains stepping on you, and don't worry that the emperor will suddenly get nervous to clean you up. He trusted Zhang Bin to the point of almost obeying his words, and of course, Zhang Bin never let him down.

Therefore, the development of Daming is very good at this time, the two Beijing and 14 provinces are booming, I believe that in a few years, Daming will usher in another prosperous era.

At this time, he was seriously reviewing the folds, and when he heard that Zhang Bin was coming, he immediately put down the brush in his hand, stood up and walked to the door excitedly.

Zhang Bin saw that he had come to the door again, and couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, Weichen is courageous, remind you again, this is very important." ”

Zhu Cihong took his arm and smiled: "Master, you also said that sitting for a long time is not good for your health, so I am getting up and walking around to exercise my body." ”

After speaking, he also deliberately shook his arm and kicked his leg.

Zhang Bin shook his head helplessly, followed him to the desk, sat down, and then took out the map and handed it to him.

Zhu Cihong unfolded the map and looked at it, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Master, are you going to make a move on the Mengyuan tribes?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, it has been more than two hundred years, almost three hundred years, Meng Yuan and Da Ming have always been in constant friction, and if Meng Yuan's problem is not solved, it will always be a huge hidden danger." ”

Zhu Cihong sighed when he heard this: "Yes, the Mengyuan cavalry is moving too fast, it is simply impossible to prevent it, once they break into the pass, it will be a disaster for the common people, the problem of Mengyuan should be solved, otherwise the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty will never be peaceful." Master, how many troops are you going to mobilize this time? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "It doesn't take many people, Fu Guangjun and Guan Ning Tie can just ride over." ”

"What?" , Zhu Cihong couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Just Fu Guangjun and Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, this, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" ”

Zhang Bin smiled and said: "Weichen doesn't plan to fight with others, it's exaggerated enough to bring so many people." ”

Zhu Cihong said in surprise: "If you don't fight, how can you solve the problem of Meng Yuan." ”

Zhang Bin deliberately tested the school and said: "The method is on this map, Your Majesty, you take a closer look." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he picked up the map again and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he finally found that something was wrong, because there were many square and triangular marks on the map, what did this mean?

He wondered, "Master, are you talking about these marks on the map?" What do these marks mean? ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said: "Yes, Weichen is talking about these marks, the square mark represents the coal mine, and the triangular mark represents the iron mine." ”

Coal and iron mines?

Does this have anything to do with solving the Mengyuan problem?

Zhu Cihong thought for a while, still confused.

Seeing this, Zhang Bin guided: "Your Majesty, what do you think is the biggest feature of Meng Yuan, or what is the most difficult thing to deal with?" ”

Zhu Cihong said without thinking: "This previous emperor has already come to a conclusion, the main reason is that this Mengyuan is nomadic everywhere and has no fixed residence, even if he organizes a large army to pass, it will be difficult to eliminate it." ”

Zhang Bin nodded approvingly: "Yes, this is what the nomads outside the Saiwai have always been a headache for our Central Plains Dynasty. Therefore, finding a way to stabilize them is the key to solving the problem, as for sending a large army to encircle and suppress, even if it is useless to destroy several of their tribes, it will not take long for them to recover again. ”

"Stabilize them?" When Zhu Cihong heard this, he looked at the map and said in surprise: "Master, do you mean to let them go mining?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded approvingly: "The emperor is wise." ”

Zhu Cihong was still a little puzzled: "Why do they want to mine for us, this is unlikely, right?" ”

Zhang Bin said lightly: "We give money, now the demand for coal mines and iron ore is getting bigger and bigger, and if you don't open a new mine, it is estimated that the supply will not be available, and Dongshengtang is also preparing to overhaul the railway and build a large train, if there is no coal mine and iron mine, there is not so much iron to build this track and train, and even if it is built, there is not so much coal to drive." ”

Zhu Cihong thought about it, but was still a little puzzled: "They may not be willing to give us money, after all, mining is very hard, and it is far less comfortable than grazing on the grassland." ”

Zhang Bin said mysteriously: "This emperor doesn't need to worry, Weichen has his own way to let them come to mine obediently." ”

What can he do to get the people of the Mengyuan tribe to come and mine for Daming obediently?

Actually, it's very simple, and that is to start with their chief, or chief.

A few days later, Zhang Bin led the Fuguang army and the Guanning iron cavalry to Datong Town, this time he did not come to fight, so the battle was not big, he really wanted to prepare to clear the Mengyuan tribes, it is estimated that at least more than 300,000 troops will be brought along the way, all the way to the past, which is like this, as soon as he arrived in Datong Town, he will stop the flag, let the Fuguang army and the Guanning iron cavalry set up camp to rest, and then, he sent an invitation to the leaders of the Mengyuan Chahar departments, inviting them to come to discuss the plan to make a fortune.

On the surface, the Mengyuan Chahar tribes received the appeasement of the Ming Dynasty and submitted to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it is naturally impossible to really only look forward to the Ming Dynasty, they are all clever, if you are strong, I will be cowardly, if you are strong, you will be strong, anyway, you can't exterminate us, come to the soft and the hard casually, we will not finish with you, you just watch it.

Since the Yongle Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has not organized any large armies to go deep into the grassland to give them a few ruthless blows, so they are all very skinny, and they did not ignore the call of Zhang Bin, the Duke of Weiguo, but they did not come over.

It's naturally a bit tempting to discuss and make a fortune together, but small lives are more important, they haven't reached the level of asking for money and not dying, so they haven't come!

However, they all agreed to discuss with Zhang Bin, and they all euphemistically proposed to ask Zhang Bin to go out of the fortress to discuss with them, because they were afraid of death, afraid that Zhang Bin would frame them to die in the past, and then launch a large-scale attack on the Chahar grassland.
