Chapter 195: Xiaohai

Warehouse management and tax rectification is more important than the refill, not only related to the fullness of the treasury, but also related to the security of food, as the saying goes, there is grain in the hand, do not panic, Zhu Youxiao specially called Chen Suowen, asked him to lead people to formulate warehouse management regulations, in the warehousing and out of the warehouse, regular inspection, temporary spot checks, fire prevention, mildew prevention, anti-theft all aspects of the formulation of detailed rules. And asked Wei Zhongxian to set up two Jinyi guard supervisors in each warehouse, which were changed once a year.

The Economic Investigation Bureau has set up a warehouse inspection team, which can conduct spot checks at any time, and if it is found that the accounts do not match the real goods, all the officials of the entire warehouse will be demoted together, and the person who has the accident will be handed over to the court for trial and sentence.

Zhu Youxiao believes that as long as the system is reasonably designed and there is a supervisory organization, there will be no major problems in the management of this warehouse. Of course, as for how to prevent fire, theft and mildew, it is natural to leave it to the students of the graduate school to study.

Zhu Youxiao needs to recuperate, and he plans to spend ten years digesting the places that have been obtained in Jeju, Sinju, Danongdo, Nurkand, Luzon and Vietnam, first stabilize these places, vigorously promote Sinicization education, and strengthen the centripetal force of Chinese culture in various places. At the same time, it is necessary to send grain to the country through these places to ensure domestic grain supply.

And Sun Chengzong was in Xuanfu Town, and he had a very good relationship with the Mongols. Sun Chengzong's face was serious, but he was quite trusted by the Mongols. Because the Mongols thought that he was a believer, he was whatever he said, and he never deceived him. The exchange of markets with the Mongols was carried out smoothly.

Since Longqing and Wanli, there are eleven places where there are mutual markets with Mongolia: Datong's Victory Fort, Xinping, Shoukou, Xuanfu's Zhangjiakou, Shanxi's Shuiquanying, Yansui's Hongshan Fortress, Ningxia's Qingshuiying, Rizhongwei, Pingyuwei, Gansu's Hongshuibiandu, Gaogou Village.

During the opening of the market every year, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia each led a unit to maintain order. The location is generally located outside the side wall, and the high wall forms an urn city-like shape. Generally, the time of mutual market in a place is about half a month to one month.

After Sun Chengzong came to Xuanfu, he restored some of the abandoned mutual markets such as Hongshan Temple Fort, and regularized the market, opening the market once a month, five days at a time. The troops stationed on both sides were drastically reduced, and only 100 troops on each side were retained to maintain order.

Daming has set up a court in each market to deal with trade disputes between the two parties. The court treated Han Meng the same way, and there was no bias. In the transaction, the Ming court specially stipulated that there was a price, so that the merchants were profitable, and there was no loss in the price. For example, a high-class gelding is 17 yuan, a medium gelding is 14 yuan, and an inferior gelding is 12 yuan, and there are also price regulations for cattle and sheep.

Such measures make both Han and Mongolia profitable, the Mongols are very sincere, they are grateful for Sun Chengzong's justice, more and more people come to the market to trade, and also readily pay the Ming Dynasty Taxation Bureau 20 taxes and one transaction tax, this is the first time that the Ming Dynasty has obtained taxes in transactions with Mongolia, although it is small, but it is a great symbol.

The Ming Dynasty obtained a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, hides, and wool from Mongolia, which were not precious to the Mongols, especially wool, which was completely useless garbage, and the Ming Dynasty was willing to use money to buy it, which made the Mongols grateful and disdainful to the Ming people.

Some Mongolians secretly sold their horses to the Ming people, this kind of thing was naturally happy to see it, and the Mongolians at first strictly guarded it, prohibiting people from selling stallions, but later found that there was no way to prohibit it, so they let it go, but on the surface it was still forbidden to trade stallions.

Although the five days a month has made great progress compared to before, the Mongolian tribes far away from the market have no way to travel so far to trade, so the Ming side organized some caravans and entered the depths of the grassland.

After Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong discussed, some students were recruited from the geography department of the research institute to temporarily enter the factory guard. These students are very high-spirited, and they are not willing to join Jinyiwei no matter what, and they can't serve as civilians, so they have to borrow them.

These students joined the caravan selected by the Jinyi Guard as the bookkeeper, and each student was equipped with ten Jinyi Guard scouts as guards. Wei Zhongxian explained that no matter what, the safety of students must be guaranteed.

As the caravan moved deeper into the steppe, a map was drawn, and the caravan went farther and farther, passing through the city of Guihua, then passing through the largest living Buddha in the Khalkha region, Jebtsundamba Hutuktu in Sidi Aoersu (meaning palace), and finally deep into the distant Xiaohai, which was called Beihai in the Han Dynasty and Lake Baikal in later generations, and is now controlled by the Burigati tribe.

After bringing out the mirrors, soaps, candles, tea bricks and silk that the caravan had brought with them, they were warmly welcomed by the people of Bligati here. They entertained the caravan with fresh fish from the small sea, and exchanged sand gold for the caravan's supplies. This made the caravan that was ready to lose money not only lose money, but also made much more money than other caravans.

After the caravans returned to the Ming Dynasty, they handed over the map to Sun Chengzong, and under the patchwork of geography students, the terrain of the north slowly appeared in front of them. Sun Chengzong copied the map and sent it to the capital, and asked the emperor to build a large number of trading markets in the area of Xiaohai.

Zhu Youxiao summoned all the ministers to Yuntai, ordered someone to hang the map on the wall, he paced in front of the map, pointed at Xiaohai with a stick and said: "This is the Beihai of Su Wu Shepherd, I have a dream in my heart, one day, the whole territory of this Xiaohai is owned by my Ming Dynasty." ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Tingbi knelt on the ground and said: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the ministers will bring Xiaohai for Your Majesty." When the Emperor said this, they had to reply, though they both understood that it was not an opportune time to wage war on a large scale with the Mongols.

And the ministers are silent, to be honest, in their opinion, the Ming is rich in products, and the grasslands occupied by the Mongols are completely useless to the Ming, and the Ming people will not graze, what are they occupying for what?

Sun Chuanting, as the secretary of the military department, saw that Wenchen did not move, so he had to kneel down and say: "Your Majesty, I, the Ming Guard, am willing to obtain the territory you want for Your Majesty at any time." ”

Zhu Youxiao was a little disappointed, the martial style of the Ming Dynasty had not yet been established, except for the three ministers who had to speak out to be related to their own army, the other ministers were not willing to open up the territory at all.

He smiled and said, "Get up, the four of us monarchs and ministers, let's see how to get Xiaohai." ”

These words were a bit heavy, and Fang Congzhe stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you set a national policy before, and you could only use gentle means to slowly win over and divide the Yuan people?" Although we are expanding the army, but because the quality requirements are very strict, the training is quite time-consuming. ”
