A minister asked what to do with the Mongol tribes beyond the border walls of the central and western sections. Outside the long border wall of the middle and western sections, there is no Imperial Cooperative Army, and today's Imperial Cooperative Army is set up to resist the possible detour of the Eastern Invaders, therefore, Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao are only active outside the eastern section of the border wall, generally with Xifengkou as the center of activities, if the border market is forbidden because of the merchants, only for the Imperial Cooperative Army to open an opening, then, the Mongolian tribes outside the border wall of the central and western sections, they can't buy many things from the Central Plains, and they can't live their lives, but they want to make trouble and fight.

"Oh, what does Master Sun think?" Yang Reform sighed and asked Sun Chengzong.

"Back to Your Majesty, our dynasty did have such an agreement with Mrs. Zhongshun before, and because Mrs. Zhongshun was here, the border was relatively peaceful, Mrs. Zhongshun did play an important role, and our dynasty did take care of Mrs. Zhongshun's descendants and the remainder, but now the situation is very different......" Sun Chengzong began to explain the origin of the matter.

“…… Mrs. Zhongshun belongs to the special Tumut department, and the Tumut department is one of the Mongolian right-wing, and because some Mongolian right-wing tribes are mixed with the wrestling between our dynasty, Lin Dan Khan, and Dongyu, so this matter becomes complicated, and because the year before last, Lin Dan Khan suddenly killed most of the Mongolian right wing, which led to the collapse of the Mongolian right wing, and the barrier of our dynasty was also lost, so the matter is more complicated, and because of this, there is also the appearance of the imperial army, in order to gather the scattered Mongolian tribes and rebuild the barrier. …… The descendants and remnants of Mrs. Zhongshun also died in these turmoil, scattered, and more took refuge in the east, the situation can not be generalized, not to mention, the naturalization city built by Mrs. Zhongshun at that time, at this time, has long been under the control of Lin Dan Khan, my dynasty and Lin Dan Khan have an important cooperative relationship, related to the siege of the east captive, therefore, the minister thinks, proper care is indeed possible, but, should be more to my Ming state affairs first, outside the customs must not be defeated again, therefore, such as the descendants of Mrs. Zhongshun and the rest of the people are willing to continue to be loyal to our dynasty, Guarding the border for my dynasty, when it is incorporated into the imperial army, my dynasty should remember the old feelings and take care of them, on the contrary, it is the enemy of our dynasty, and human favor belongs to human affection, but things are vital to life and death of our dynasty, and we cannot ignore the overall situation of the imperial court because of human affection...... "Sun Chengzong immediately told the ins and outs of this to the people present. [Mrs. Zhongshun is also the three ladies mentioned in the history textbook, and the naturalization city is now Hohhot. 】

Sun Chengzong's words were explained to the ministers present, and Yang Reform had known the ins and outs of this matter for a long time, but now the situation at home and abroad has changed greatly, and the policy also needs to be adjusted.

The ministers listened to Sun Chengzong's words, some people understood, and some people were at a loss, what this department, that department, in their minds, was just a bunch of barbarians, as for where, they couldn't tell at all, and they didn't want to understand, in their eyes, it was all a place infested by savages.

"Well, yes, now, our dynasty is fighting with the Dongyu outside the Guan, and the trapped Dongyu outside the Guanxi is also at a critical juncture, everything should be focused on state affairs, and we must not let the business Jia Tongyu happen again, in addition to opening the network of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the border city should be banned, otherwise, if the outside of the Guanxi is erosive, we are all sinners of the Ming Dynasty, and we are all sinners of Huaxia,...... Although I have also heard the good stories of Mrs. Zhongshun, but now, I can't care so much, such as the rest of the descendants of Mrs. Zhongshun are willing to belong to our dynasty and be reorganized into the Imperial Army, I can take extra care of it, which is considered to be my favor, but if I don't want to return to my dynasty, it can only be the enemy of my dynasty. Yang Reform said lightly. In the face of national interests, this favor and incense are really nothing.

All the ministers looked at the emperor, this is the prelude to the emperor to do something to the Mongolian right wing outside the border wall, and some ministers want to come out and say, show their existence, but think about it, this is by no means a suitable time to come out and say, now the war outside the border is really at a critical juncture, if you still mention to the emperor what war wastes the country's money, the people are miserable, it is estimated that it will immediately attract a fierce spray from other ministers, this is all fighting, and prevent the emperor from doing it, a thief's hat is not able to run. ,

"Is there anything else you have to say? Questions about border cities. After Yang Reform finished speaking, he looked around and asked again.

The ministers looked at the emperor again, and then looked at each other, and many people were in a mess of the situation. Looking at it, many people are looking at Sun Chengzong, maybe this person will have something to say, although everyone doesn't understand many situations outside the gate, but they can also see that today, it is the emperor who wants to sing a double reed, the emperor sang a paragraph, it is time for Sun Chengzong to come out.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have some words, I don't know if to say them or not" Sure enough, Sun Chengzong spoke, and the ministers looked like this, although they were not very innocent about how to deal with state affairs and how to deal with war, and they were very confused, but for the affairs above the court, for the emperor's every move, the sense of smell was indeed extraordinarily sensitive.

"Master Sun, please speak." Yang reformed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the ban on the border market is certainly the right thing to do, but there are some that are not suitable." Sun Chengzong said.

"Oh, there?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, although Lin Dan Khan killed most of the Mongolian right wing, but mainly the two major departments of Harashen and Tumut, the strength of the Ordos Department has not been lost, and now, the Mongolian right wing and Lin Dan Khan are still fighting, and its main force is the Ordos Department, if the border city of Shaanxi is closed, I am afraid that there will be problems, and the minister thinks that the border city should be banned, and the ban on the Xuanji section should be the mainstay, and the Datong section can be slowly mapped, and as for the Shaanxi border, it can not be moved...... Sun Chengzong said.

"Well, it also makes sense, then according to what Master Sun said, the ban on the border city is mainly based on the Xuanji section, and the Shaanxi border will not be moved for the time being, for specific details, please ask Master Xu to prepare a report I came here, now the war outside the customs is urgent, and it needs to be implemented as soon as possible......" Yang reformed a few words, and this matter was given. This forbidden border city is connected with the expansion of the Imperial Cooperative Army and the expansion of the scope of activities of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and today's Imperial Cooperative Army is mostly active outside the border wall of the Jiliao section centered on Xifengkou, out of consideration of strength, out of consideration of not having a major conflict with Lin Dan Khan, therefore, the scope of activities of the Imperial Cooperative Army last year was in this section. On the one hand, he is accumulating strength, and on the other hand, he is waiting for things and the situation to change. Now the situation has changed, and the strength of Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao has also risen sharply, so the scope of activities of the Imperial Allied Army can be expanded, even if there are some conflicts with Lin Dan Khan's actual control of the territory, it does not matter, and now the strength of the Ming Dynasty has risen sharply; Second, there was an agreement earlier, and I was not afraid that Lin Dan Khan would not give in.

"The Minister's Order" Sun Chengzong also responded to the situation. This matter, which is expected, is now in the court, and it can be regarded as a passing scene.

After setting the strategy of the border city outside the border, Yang Gai seemed to remember something.

"Uh, by the way, I almost forgot, I summoned you here today to talk about the Jin Shang Tong Capture Case, and the Three Law Divisions will play to inquire about the imperial court's strategy for handling the Jin Shang case." Yang asked Gengai.

As soon as he said this, the faces of the ministers changed again, and they all looked bad. The three law divisions tried the case, and they had to ask the emperor for a strategy, which was a shame on the civil officials, and many ministers muttered, how could these people not even have any backbone, so afraid of things.

In fact, this can't be blamed on those people in the three law divisions, they originally went to try the case, they really wanted to show their strength, make a name, and set up a million or something, but before they got to the ground, the Jin merchant case broke out, it didn't matter if it broke out, and then the emperor also involved the salt merchant, and the emperor moved the knife against the salt merchant again, and in a short period of time, the salt merchant was uprooted, which frightened these people, the salt merchant case was caused by the Jin merchant case, if the Jin merchant case was seriously asked, it would inevitably involve the salt merchant case, Now that the salt merchant case has been calm and has ended, if they stir up the storm of the salt merchant case again, the court does not know how many people hate them to the bone, this is not easy to calm down the turmoil, many people finally got out, the emperor finally did not hold the official responsible, you this scum is overflowing, in case the emperor is forced to can't be forced, and has to take a lot of people to open the knife, I don't know how many people are unlucky, therefore, the people of the three law divisions think about it, but they feel afraid, knowing that they have fallen into the trap set by the emperor, Now I don't dare to ask, I don't dare not ask, I think about it, I think, it is better to put the initiative in the hands of the emperor, which is safer, otherwise, I haven't asked a result on my side, and there are a bunch of impeachments on the court side, so it really can't be done. ,

"Your Majesty, you should be severely punished and set an example." Someone said it out loud at the moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we should be severely punished, these national thieves have caused me to be corrupted outside the customs to this point, and if we don't strictly investigate and deal with it, how can we show that the national law is strict?"

"Your Majesty, I think that the ...... should be severely punished"

Yang Reform nodded, it should indeed be dealt with strictly, and he also means this, now the two major * businessmen involved in the Tong Capture case, the Jin Merchants and the Salt Merchants, the salt merchants themselves have been lightly let go, if the Jin Merchants are lightly let go, it will be difficult to explain, and now the court and the people of the world agree that many defeats outside the Guanxi are caused by these captive merchants, if they are all lightly let go, this is unreasonable.

The ministers discussed it once, and agreed that it should be severely punished, this is not severely punished, this shameful cloth can not be hung up, these years the court has lost again and again outside the customs, and the face can be described as swept away, and now there is finally a substitute for the dead, there is a shameful thing, how can you let it go, therefore, the court, but unanimously believe that the Jin Shang case should be severely punished.

"Well, I also think that it should be punished severely, and that Qing family still has a different opinion?" Yang asked as he ended the discussion.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." Han Yi stood up and said.

"Han Qing's family just said." Yang reformed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the severe punishment should indeed be punished, but it should not be too implicated, otherwise, those Jin merchants see that there is no hope of survival, wouldn't they be indiscriminately climbing, if you believe in the indiscriminate climbing of these Jin merchants, wouldn't it implicate all the businessmen of my Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty, this poisonous plan to disturb my Ming Dynasty must not be prevented Therefore, the minister thinks that in addition to severe punishment in the Jin Shang case, it should also be strictly prevented from Jin merchants from climbing indiscriminately." Han Yi, the old fox, said what many people wanted to say, but didn't dare to say.

"Hehe, yes, it is true that there should not be too much climbing, the scope of the Jin Shang case should be limited to a certain range, so let's take Shanxi as the limit, expand it appropriately, and not involve too much, when it is in Shanxi, pay close attention, strictly grasp it, and punish it severely." Yang Gai quickly set the tone and narrowed the scope of the Jin Shang case to Shanxi.

"Your Majesty Shengming" All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, the Jin Shang case should indeed be limited to Shanxi, in case the Jin Shang case is implicated in the salt merchant's case, then there will be a big problem.

Looking at the relieved ministers, Yang Reform laughed in his heart, you can be relieved, but you have your own plans, you are relieved, and your own goals must be achieved.

……

Scattered platform.

Yang Reform left Sun Chengzong behind, and there were still things to discuss.

"Big companion, has Junko arrived?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, I've been waiting outside the hall for a long time." Wang Chengen agreed.

"Hmm, let Junko in." Yang Reform said, and these ministers to say these things are a formality, is a face-saving effort, in fact, with Sun Chengzong, and Xiao Shunzi, what is discussed, is the core thing, is the real implementation of things.

Zhu Shun is Xiao Shunzi, and he is also a famous eunuch in the capital, like Gong Xi, in addition to mastering the mint of Baoquan Bureau, he is in charge of the tax supervisor, the tax supervisor This yamen was ridiculed by everyone before, but now, who dares to laugh at the tax supervisor?

"Slave and maid knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Xiao Shunzi kowtowed when he entered the platform, even if he was the emperor's confidant, but it was not easy to see the emperor once, and when he saw the emperor, he immediately kowtowed excitedly.

"Get up." Yang reformed and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Zhu Shun was happy at this time.

"You were summoned today, do you know for what?" Yang asked Zhu Shun.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave and maid don't know, but according to Your Majesty's orders, the slave and maid will definitely be able to do it for Your Majesty to die." Zhu Shun said immediately.

"Okay, I called you here today, there is one thing that needs you to do, this matter, it has something to do with the border pass, you listen to this matter first, after listening, I will tell you what to do, the tax supervisor in the south is developing quite rapidly now, and you, the tax supervisor in the north, also have to work hard" Yang reformed and said.

"The slave understands." Xiao Shunzi immediately replied respectfully, as soon as the emperor said the south, he felt a lot of pressure, and now Erxizi has made a great name in the south, and collected tens of millions of family wealth for the emperor, which can be described as a high level of hard work, and then look at his own north, he was able to go beyond the south by taking advantage of Liuli Zhai, but now, he can't catch up with the south even if he is a horse, and the tens of millions of family fortunes of salt merchants are all the credit of the south Thinking of this, Zhu Shun was a little frustrated, if he knew that the south could be so promising, at the beginning, he took the initiative to choose the south.

After Yang Reform instructed Xiao Shunzi, he began to tell Sun Chengzong about the matter that he said in the court today, and the specific details of this matter had to be discussed with his henchmen, and it was impossible to decide what to do by arguing with those ministers in the court.
