"It is natural to repay the debt, this is the principle of heaven, and no one can rely on it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Chengfeng was silent for a while and continued: "So not only can the money village no longer lend out, but also this debt must be recovered as soon as possible, today the Lone King and you are discussing this, the Lone King was ordered to guard the Nanyang, representing the establishment of the Nanyang by the Great Tomorrow, this place is full of countries, each has its own set of rules is not successful, so we must first establish the order, so that the national law of our Chu State can be used in all countries, so that the Nanyang will be too peaceful." ”

"There are no rules, there is no circle, this is what the lonely king wants to say today, putting away the money bag first is the first step, if you want to force those vassal kings to comply, you must prescribe the right medicine, first let them know how to be afraid, so that they will know to be obedient, and if they listen, this rule will be established." Liu Chengfeng looked at the three ministers with a smile, and shook out the words he thought in his heart: "The establishment of the Nanyang order is not just the meaning of the lone king, this is the inheritance of the imperial court's mandate, the lower shun of the merchants' hearts, the court wants a stable Nanyang, businessmen want to do business with peace of mind, it is necessary to reduce the risk to the minimum, the lone king heard that in Java, there have been many businessmen who have been kidnapped by Javanese bandits for ransom, and the Javanese government is incompetent, and can not catch the murderers, think about it, such Nanyang, who dares to do business?" ”

Liu Chengfeng paused here, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "So the state of Chu must master the judicial, public security, and financial powers of all countries, without these three rights, it will not work, the royal families of various countries must also set rules for them, they govern their people, but they must also wholeheartedly safeguard the interests of the Ming Dynasty and the great Chu merchants, otherwise, what use do we want them?" ”

Li Dongdong and the three of them nodded secretly at first, feeling that what Liu Chengfeng said was reasonable, but the more they listened, the more they felt that it was wrong, especially if that sentence could not be the interests of Da Ming and Da Chu, what was the use of asking them? No matter how you listen to this sentence, it doesn't seem to be right, the vassal kings are not the domestic slaves of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, nor are they officials of the Ming Dynasty, they don't eat Liu Chengfeng's food, and they don't take the salary of the Ming court, why do these words seem like the vassal kings have become puppets of the Ming Dynasty and Liu Chengfeng?

Liu Chengfeng looked at the three of them with a smile and said: "You don't have to guess the mind of the lonely king, the mind of the lonely king is simple and clear, in fact, it is to tighten the control of the Nanyang countries, the rules are the means of control, you can't control it, what are you talking about guarding the Nanyang?" A few days ago, King Gu read some ancient books, but he was quite inspired, and the sub-sealing system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very interesting, but why did Zhou replace it for Qin? In the final analysis, the king of Zhou did not collect the power, and did not have enough power to deter the countries, now let's start from three aspects, this first step, first pinch the money bags of the countries, so that they have no rice, such as sitting on pins and needles, without silver, the treasury will be empty, and the treasury will be short, and the taxes will be levied on a large scale, and taxes will be levied wantonly, then these vassal kings will be equivalent to sitting on the crater, they will know this truth, so at this time it is necessary to have a heart of fear. ”

Liu Chengfeng played with a piece of jade, and said slowly: "It's not enough to be afraid, people have a sense of luck, although we have pinched their money bags, but they may not take risks, there is never a shortage of people in this world who are not in debt, once they are in debt, what should we do in Chu State?" ”

Paying back the debt, it is justified, it is so reasonable, but this is the real world, and the vassal countries are barbarians, do barbarians still reason with you?

Li Dongdong's eyes narrowed and said, "Then the next step is to demonstrate." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, nodded his head and said: "Yes, be reasonable first, but when it's time to do it, you have to do it, so you have to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, let them know the consequences of disobedience, and when they know that the consequences of defaulting on the debt are even worse, this fear will evolve into a heart of pleading." ”

A person who is pinched by someone in the money bag may take a risk, but once he knows the consequences of this desperate move, the reckless action of jumping over the wall will evolve into a weak plea.

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said very easily: "Then next, if Chu State proposes any conditions, they have to accept them." ”

Zhao Kang's eyes lit up and said, "Your Highness is clever." Although the current situation in Nanyang is quite stable, it is not a long-term solution, after all, Chu is a small country and a widow, and it is not easy to contain such a vassal state in Nanyang. His Royal Highness said that he wanted to collect the three powers of death, public security, and finance in various countries, but Wechen felt that there was still some heat left, if he couldn't collect the [***] powers, the above three powers were just decorations, only with military power, can I ensure the interests of my Dachu in various countries, Wechen has some ideas, why not take the opportunity to reorganize the [***] horses, and collect them for their own use? Of course, this will inevitably work, but I am Ming Ming, there are many obstacles, and the vassal countries may not be willing to comply, especially the vassal kings of various countries, how can they easily sit back and wait for death? Therefore, what Weichen means is to try to collect some military power, and to fight for more if he can. ”

Zhang Wen, who was sitting on the side, put his hands on his legs, but shook his head secretly, and said: "Lord Zhao's suggestion is good, but the old minister disagrees, after all, the Yi people are Yi people, even if they are adopted, I am afraid that it will be very inappropriate, it is better to recruit Han people to expand the army and horses, and deter all countries from coming." As long as the Chu State has enough financial resources, it is not difficult to establish a strong army, but with enough deterrence in Nanyang and the establishment of order, isn't there an endless stream of silver to raise the army? It is important to have soldiers in hand, but sometimes, it is absolutely impossible to rely on force alone, and it must also be able to influence all countries, so that their nobles accept Muhua one after another, so that they can think about what I think and think about what I think, so that everything can be foolproof. ”

Zhang Wen was silent for a moment, and saw that Liu Chengfeng looked very interested, obviously very interested in his suggestion, so he shook his spirits and continued: "So Weichen suggests that in addition to controlling countries with loans, we should also expand the number of troops and horses, and the number can be temporarily set at 200,000, with these 200,000 male soldiers, and then recruit warriors of all ethnic groups in Nanyang, with my Ming military attache as the backbone, build national battalions, the number can not be more or less, more is difficult to control, less can not be used by me, the number of people can be less than 200,000, For example, the Annan battalion recruited by Annan is not allowed to practice garrison in Annan, but they can be transferred to Zhenla or Aceh garrison, they are in a foreign country, they are eating the military salary of my Chu State, and it is my military attache of the Ming Dynasty who controls them, and they accept the Muhua of my Ming Dynasty, but they are facing the people of foreign races, so they will naturally be able to obey. ”

Liu Chengfeng listened and nodded again and again, although the Chu State has not yet been able to effectively control the South Seas, but Zhang Wen's long-term plan for the future makes Liu Chengfeng quite interesting, using the soldiers of Annan to defend the Aceh State, using the battalions of Aceh to garrison Zhenla, and using the Zhenla people to suppress the Luzon people, which can not only make those feudal soldiers who are far away from their hometowns feel lonely, so as to completely take the military attachés of the Han people as the core, and once there is something in the country, these feudal soldiers will not have any psychological burden, this method is extremely wonderful.

Moreover, the Han people's military horses and the feudal camp maintained a balance of power, and even if the feudal camp had any bad intentions, the Chu army could be suppressed at any time to minimize the risk.

Liu Chengfeng looked at Zhang Wen with great interest and said, "What Zhang Aiqing said won the heart of the lonely king, and this move is very wonderful. ”

Zhang Wen's face was full of red light, when he was a scribe in the cabinet, he never had any ideas, he was always sent by others, and now the things he figured out were recognized by Liu Chengfeng, this kind of satisfaction that he had never had made him feel a little fluttering, he continued: "In addition, it is Muhua, in fact, the political axe can encourage scholars to travel to various domains, and give them enough funding, which can not only increase their knowledge, but also spread their knowledge and the teachings of the saints to all parts of Nanyang, If you want to let the feudal people know the etiquette, you must first touch their hearts, so you need to have a small favor, so some scholars who have no livelihood can also give them a certain amount of entanglement, let them open schools in various places, teach some Chinese, and at the same time send some doctors out to open some medical halls, for the Yi people to treat diseases, the place where the Yi people are located has a lot of miasma, a lot of plagues, and even many places rely on witch doctors to cure diseases, with these doctors going out, not only can let the Yi people know the grace of my Ming Dynasty, and gather their hearts, Can also let a lot of Yi people have learned my Ming medical skills, to learn medical skills, you need to start from learning Chinese characters, learning Chinese characters will inevitably have to read the four books and five classics, the sage's education is to pay attention to the Yi for the Yi, into the Hua Hua, as long as the heart of the etiquette, then is the Hua, the unclear etiquette is the Yi, in this way, will be able to influence the talents and nobles of the country, so that they have a yearning for my Huaxia, if there is an entanglement of interests in the future, it is inevitable to stand in the position of my Huaxia to consider. Your Highness, if this matter can be successful, it will be enough to reach the 100,000 heroes of our Chu State, and by force alone, it will only centrifuge all countries, and it will not be a long-term way after all. ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded approvingly, and said, "Zhang Aiqing, this truth has been decided to be adopted by King Lone, but I don't know where to start?" ”

When asked this, Zhang Wen couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he had been in the cabinet for a long time, and he had also learned seventy or eighty percent of the far-sighted national policies, but he had never tried how to implement them, and for a while, he couldn't answer.
