Feng Youcai easily understood Zhang Yang's words, but Zheng Hao still couldn't understand them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the rulers of the Ming court are very clear, that is, no one dares to say it, let alone do it.

Feng Youcai said: "For our future, we will definitely encounter this kind of problem, we cannot slaughter our own people, nor can we restrict the birth of our own population, the only possibility is to expand the territory, and then move the population to new land, otherwise there is no other way." ”

Zhang Yang said: "The young master can figure it out, yes, but the young master's pattern is still too small, even if what you say is reached, then after a certain number of years, when the population reaches the limit again, similar problems will repeat." ”

"So what do you say?"

"Young master, your strategy can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, think about it, is the Ming court short of money now? There is a shortage of money, but is there a shortage of money in the Ming Dynasty? There is no shortage of money, many gentry's money far exceeds all the emperor's money, and it is only the emperor and commoners who lack money, why is this? It's all the policy to blame. Therefore, it is important to formulate a long-term good policy from the beginning, but no matter how good the policy is, if the times change and the policy does not change, it is also a bad policy. The Ming Dynasty suffered this loss, for example, the military household policy, at the beginning, it was indeed to ensure the tranquility of the border, but now? What combat effectiveness do these military households have? If you don't have combat power, you still have to feed? This is the result of not being able to change with the changes of the times, resulting in the displeasure of the military households, the dissatisfaction of the imperial court, and the happiness of only those profiteering; Moreover, the lack of commercial tax in the early Ming Dynasty did promote the prosperity of the market, but now the commercial tax is not collected, which is digging its own grave. “

"I understand this, but what does it have to do with what I said about expanding the territory?"

"Financial mismanagement, real estate chaos, young master, if the policy can't keep up, you will occupy the whole world, and there will still be a large number of civilians who can't eat. As a country, as the Son of Heaven, it is to rule the world on behalf of heaven, and it should be the way of heaven, and the minister is humane, this is the gap, like the current Donglin Party, which represents the rich merchant class, is resolutely not to pay taxes, and the emperor wants to collect taxes is to compete with the people, but can the Donglin Party represent the people? They just represent the rich businessmen. Zhang Yang said.

"Don't talk about these things that are useless for the time being, don't drag these long-term ones with me first, let's talk about what we should do next, right?" Feng Youcai was a little angry and flamboyant.

"Okay, young master, in the past, I asked you to kill the Mongols so that the young master could survive in this troubled era, and even occupy a piece of territory first without rebelling, but now we have done it, we have a certain ability to protect ourselves, and we also have a certain territory, right?"

Feng Youcai thought about it for a moment and said: "It's good, we now have 10 centurions of light cavalry, 5 centenarians of heavy cavalry, and 15 centenarians of the army in the system hall; Outside, there are 850 security guards, 1 light cavalry, 100 people, and several beacon towers and dozens of people, the overall strength is far more than a thousand households, even in the face of a guard station has the strength to fight; In addition, there are more than 400,000 points, and in general, there is more than enough self-preservation for the time being, and the offense is insufficient; The matter of the site has also fully met your original planning requirements. You go on to say. “

"Young master, is there anything to do with the three of the current Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, the Later Jin Nurhachi and the Ming Dynasty? The Ming court had to be wary of Lin Dan Khan and Nurhachi; Lin Dan Khan and Nurhachi are competing with each other and wary of each other, and both want to profit from the Ming Dynasty, so if we beat Mongolia too hard, it will not be good for Lin Dan Khan to turn around and come west to deal with us, first, we can't deal with Lin Dan Khan at present; The second is that now Lin Dan Khan and Nurhachi are also opposed, and the Ming court is also counting on the Mongols to contain the Houjin; Therefore, if Lin Dan Khan turned around and went west, it was what the Houjin was willing to see, but the Ming court did not want to see; So it's good for us to fight the Mongols, but we can't fight too hard, the Mongols to fight are the Korqin Department and the Khalkha Department, these two tribes are extremely willing to cooperate with the Houjin, if they cooperate, it will be more harmful. ”

"The Korqin Department and the Khalkha Department are too far away from us, and we can't fight him." Feng Youcai said.

"If you can't fight for the time being, you won't fight, I don't know if there are any changes within the Mongols, like the last time we treated the Mongols all of them was extermination, which is very taboo among the Mongols, the Mongols fought each other, all of them killed the soldiers, and women and children as trophies, our approach will definitely annoy the Mongols, if we know that we did it, we will definitely attack in a big way, then it will be cheap Houjin and the Ming court. If we drive the Mongols away, then the court will be wary of us in the future. Zhang Yang continued: "What if we wiped out Houjin now?" It's not good, if there is no Houjin to contain the Ming Dynasty, then how can you develop? How to rebel? Therefore, my policy for these three is to slowly consume their strength in order to increase our strength. ”

"Then how can it gradually consume its strength, and we can still slowly become stronger?" Feng Youcai asked.

"Young master, I hope to be able to go out, it is best to develop the navy first, sit back and watch the three fight, whoever is temporarily strong, we will cut him, and we can still steal a lot of wealth and points at sea, and we must establish our supremacy in the ocean."

"Now the navy has not been unlocked, it is not yet time to go to the sea to develop, and I am still young, my mother must not agree, in addition, my official position is too small, and the government will not let me leave here for too long, so I want to sell grain at low prices in Ningxia and Xi'an, so as to retain a little vitality for the west, and then attract some farmers here, so that farmers can participate in the peasant uprising as little as possible, reduce the internal friction of the Ming Dynasty, and again, I still want to promote sweet potatoes and potatoes first, at least on our territory, In this way, we can feed more people. Feng Youcai said.

"Hey, the young master's age is indeed too young, don't be in a hurry, take your time, do what you want to do, go to the grain store, how much you can earn some points, but gradually open the grain store to the eastern coast and Shuntianfu and the Ningjin front, every time you open a grain store, it is only a few hundred kilometers forward, it doesn't take much time for the young master, and we can come and go freely after we have a foothold." Zhang Yang said.

Feng Youcai knew that it would definitely not work if he completely obeyed Zhang Yang's strategy, but his final policy was still good, so he didn't let him finish his words in the end, this is a guy with no humanity and no discipline, and he will definitely not accept the final policy he says, so it is better not to say it, and he has no long-term plans for the time being, so he can only do the things in front of him first.

I think that in the previous life, China had a population of 1.3 billion, and they all lived well, but the current population did not even have a fraction of the previous life, how could it not be fed? It must be Zhang Yang's words, the reason for the financial misconduct of the country and the chaos of real estate.

On the same day, Feng Youcai synthesized 1 special merchant, 2 senior merchants, 4 intermediate merchants, and 8 junior businessmen, and established the Ministry of Commerce. First, he told them his idea of opening a grain store in Qianhusuo and Ningxia Town, and the Minister of Commerce, Lu Buqiang, accepted the suggestion and decided to take immediate action to open the grain store before the Spring Festival. Feng Youcai gave him 10,000 taels of silver, and asked him to buy a house and a shop first, and then ask for it when it was not enough, and then buy food for them when he was ready, and let them think of a good way to cover their eyes to ensure that the source and channel of food were not suspected.

In order to protect the safety of these people, Feng Youcai transferred 1 light cavalry of the general banner and 1 infantry of the general banner to be managed by the Ministry of Commerce.

Lu Buqian suggested that there is no need to build a grain store in a thousand households, the place is too small, and it is not enough to make some money, in Ningxia Prefecture is mainly a grain wholesale, as long as the price of grain in Ningxia Mansion is reduced, and the continuous supply of goods is guaranteed, the price of grain in the entire Ningxia Town will be reduced, and then go to Xi'an to open a grain store after the grain store in Ningxia Mansion is completed, Zhangye is too far away and the number of people is too small, it is better to give other grain merchants a little way to live, it is impossible to occupy all the market, if there is extra energy, you can continue to expand eastward, This is mainly the time to see the young master, these grain stores are mainly wholesale, if there are these 2 stores, then the price of grain in the entire northwest will drop a little.

Lu Buqiu's idea was a bit similar to Zhang Yang's idea, so he still adopted their suggestion.
