Chapter 169: Money Can Make Things

The next day, the Tatars reached a consensus that they were willing to submit to Lu Bing as much as possible, and were willing to stay in the capital as a hostage, no longer manage the affairs of the Tatars, and only be a rich man, but expected Lu Bing to be treated preferentially. Although there are the four major leaders of Guangxi as a lesson from the past, the Tatar Khan thinks that three of the four people are just self-inflicted, look at Lin Yinhan and the remnant monarch Zhu Houxi, they still have good results.

They were full of enthusiasm again, thinking that Lu Bing would gladly accept it, but Lu Bing still refused. Someone asked the reason in a hurry, and Lu Bing smiled slightly and said: "You said that Guangxi is an example, Tatar is different from Guangxi now. Guangxi was at war at that time, and our side was eager to recover, so we could complete the territory. Tatar is different, we don't want it, it's like chicken ribs, it's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless. Even if the new country does not want it, when the war in Xiliang is over, it will attack Tatar. Their unyielding nation, which had not achieved their goal, attacked the Tatars twice, but they were unsuccessful, and besides, this time you also pursued them when they retreated, not to mention the temper of the Xiliang people, even if it is changed to my new country, they will definitely not give up. If Xiliang attacks with all his might, within three years, the Tatars will definitely be destroyed. ”

"It's the same dead country, the saint said that if we Tatar surrender to the new country and Xiliang, then it's the same?" Someone said unconvinced.

"Have you heard of Xiliang's policy of forgiving the monarch?" Lu Bingdao: "As far as I know, you will be searched and hunted down everywhere and exterminated, and you will definitely be able to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots." And the people will also be slaughtered by Xiliang, one is to vent their anger, and the other is to deter by force to facilitate future management. You should know something about this. Xiliang's method of doing things is very similar to that of the Tatars before. Whatever the downside of doing so in the future, at least you are now in trouble. Therefore, you are in urgent need of cooperation now, and it is naturally not suitable to compare with Guangxi. Comparing the submission of the Yungui Shen family can be equated with this, but even so, the Shen family does not have the same predicament as you are now. ”

Everyone fell silent, what Lu Bing said did make sense, and it was true. Lu Bing said: "Therefore, it is you who are waiting for our new country, not the relationship of cooperation and incorporation. Of course, don't be discouraged. As far as I know, the reason why you have come to me for help is simply because you are powerless. In previous wars, you had weapons. Xiliang also has it, and the weapons are all from the new country, which is equivalent to two new countries at war, which is naturally inseparable. But later on, people consumed it. But you can't afford to spend it. The gap has widened, and defeat is coming. ”

"Actually, what you said is not completely impossible, but you have too many family members with you, and the Tatars have been drained of the capital to negotiate with me by the war. What will you exchange for the glory and wealth of the rest of your life and of your children and grandchildren? Again, if I want Tatar, I can send troops at any time, and I can conquer the whole territory in half a month, but I didn't do that. Because agriculture and animal husbandry can be obtained through guò trade, there is no need for guò war. To collect the land is to be governed. There is no decent city in Tatar, I have to build it from scratch, change the culture and popularize knowledge, in short, after receiving Tatar, it has become a hot potato, and it is difficult to advance and retreat. If you return to the new country, Xiliang will definitely know that we have recovered Tatar without hard work and bloodlessness, how can we give up and be reconciled, and we will definitely make enemies with our new country. It's good that you have become rich, and you are more prosperous and rich than ever, but you have to let me bear so much. I'm not stupid, how can I do such a loss-making deal? Lu Bing said.

The crowd opened their mouths, trying to say something but unable to refute it. The ministers of the new cabinet looked at the saint and naturally understood what Lu Bing thought, so they couldn't help but want to laugh, but they could only endure it in front of outsiders. Lu Bing glanced at the cabinet ministers, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and then he continued to say to the khans: "In this way, I will make a condition and see if you accept it or not." Tartary is included in the territory of my new country, and you have come to live in the new country, but because Tatar is a country of tribal alliances, there are too many people I am responsible for, so you need to reduce the number of people you carry, and I will treat you preferentially, and reward you with 30,000 taels of silver for each one. That's far more than the wealth of each khan, right? But this is only one time, and you will become the people of the new country in the future, and you must strictly abide by the laws and regulations of my new country. ”

"Dear Emperor Xinguo, do you mean that we will no longer be Khans in the future? My throne as Khan for generations has been interrupted? Jungar Khan, that is, Li Xiang's father-in-law, asked at this time.

Lu Bing nodded, and suddenly all the khans turned their heads to each other, and they were slightly dissatisfied. Lu Bing smiled: "You are confused, do you want me to analyze it for you?" ”

"Please speak up with us, the Great Emperor." Ordos Khan said that this time he was the first to confront the enemy, because the hearts of the Tatar tribes were not aligned, the guide zhì was the most severely damaged, and his strength was weakening and he would be annexed sooner or later, so he was most concerned about Lu Bing's policy, no matter how he calculated, he would not suffer a loss.

Lu Bing said: "Although there is no hereditary Yulu, but you have more advantages than them, as long as you abide by the laws and disciplines of our country, you can do business, and future generations can even pass the imperial examination to enter the court as officials, but they are not, isn't it much better than the name of the khan who has no soldiers and no power?" You say that the Khan will be destroyed from then on, yes, but the Mongols have always liked to kill each other, and if your ancestors have not annexed others and have been annexed by others, can you guarantee that your khanate can be passed on forever? Our new country cannot guarantee that it will last for generations, let alone wait. So the Khans who seem to be Tatars have disappeared since then, but in fact they are a different kind of continuation, a more permanent continuation. With so much money, as long as you work hard to become a businessman or train future generations to become officials, it is okay. Even if you put the money in the money bank and generate some interest, as long as you are not too extravagant and wasteful, you can enjoy it endlessly, isn't this the real continuation of thousands of generations? I don't force you, you go back and think about it, and let's talk about it if you understand. ”

"I do."

"Yes."

Several khans agreed one after another, and several khans who didn't want to agree were also lonely, so they naturally compromised. The khans thanked him and retreated, and Yan Song clenched his fists and said, "The Holy Lord is wise." ”

"Again, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, but I am worried that once Xiliang knows about it, he will definitely have a bad relationship with us. Looks like I'm going to shoot a competent man to garrison the frontier. To prevent Xiliang's abnormal movements, Lu Yi has been training in the capital for a while, and it is time to let his brother sit in the position of auxiliary government. Besides, I think Lu Yi is more suitable for this kind of defense and the two strong are grinding each other. Lu Xun is suitable for attacking, and his temper is too violent, which is easy to cause friction and provoke war. Lu Bing said: "Xia Yan, you plan to edict Lu Yi to replace Lu Xun, and Lu Xun will return to Beijing to assist in the government." Also, Yan Song, about how to settle these tribal khans. You write me a detailed plan, and I'll leave it to you. ”

"Yes." Two people.

"Yongxiu, what are you doing here?" Lu Bing looked at Yang Shen, who was frowning slightly, and asked.

"I don't know what the Holy One is thinking. So far, the crown prince has not been established, but the two princes have taken turns to assist in the administration of the court. The saint is still in good health in the year of the dragon and tiger, but he should establish a prince as soon as possible, otherwise the social instability may have troubles. Yang Shen said: "First correct its name." Establish orthodoxy. Only then can the prince's struggle for the throne be prevented, and the country can develop healthily. ”

"You see, my son, who is busy fighting for the throne now?" Lu Bingdao: "By the way, how do you think of Zhu Houxi's matter?" ”

The ministers didn't know why Lu Bing suddenly brought up this matter, and they didn't know why the prince did not compete for the throne, and Lu Bing's decision to deal with Zhu Houxi's matter was reasonable and appropriate.

Lu Bing nodded and said, "That's it, believe me, I will make another decision." It is right not to appoint a prince now, and you will just wait and see. Thousands of years ago. After setting up an orthodox prince, isn't there still a dispute in the world about the prince's seizure of the throne? Even if the emperor is in power, there is no overthrow, so whether the chaos is not to set up a crown prince, but how I govern and how to make the country stable for a long time, even if there is no crown prince, there is no emperor can operate normally, not just rely on the strength of one or two people to turn the tide. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what the emperor meant, but the saint was really a saint, and he often talked endlessly and did something out of the ordinary, but when he thought about it, these actions contained indescribable wisdom.

At this time, someone sent an order to come in, claiming that someone outside the door wanted to face the saint, and this person was carrying a royal gold medal, so the guards did not dare to stop it and could only report it in. Lu Bing took the gold medal and looked at it, laughed, and hurriedly asked people to announce him in.

Lu Bing said: "Okay, this is the end of today's court discussion. Don't look at me like that, it's Yu Dayou who is here, I happen to have a heavy responsibility to give him, it's really sleepy when someone sends me a pillow, God bless the new country. By the way, Xu Wei, there is a vague R&D fund over there in the Creation Bureau, I heard that you rejected it, right, this is a matter of grievances, I forgot to explain to you, this matter is confidential, there are Jinyi guards to supervise, there is no way to go wrong, how much do they want, you can inform Yan Song, and give them all batches. ”

"Obey."

"The ministers are leaving." The crowd retreated.

After about a cup of tea, Yu Dayou came to the front of the store, pushed Jinshan and poured the jade pillar and knelt down, Lu Bing hurriedly got up and said: "Hurry up, Zhifu, our new country is not prosperous, not to mention that you and I are our own brothers." ”

"The grass people know that the new country is abolishing kneeling and worshipping, only from the fist salute, this time I came to do nothing else, but to ask the saint and his old friends for the guilt." Yu Dayou said.

Lu Bing hurriedly got down the imperial steps, helped Yu Dayou up, and then looked up and down and said: "I didn't expect you to come so late, you kid is not righteous, I thought I would have to come last year, but I waited for you for a whole year." I heard that you went to Qingyuan Cave and cultivated for nearly a year, so I didn't bother you much. Tell me what you're busy doing in Qingyuan Cave. ”

Yu Dayou was not surprised, Lu Bing's brocade guards were pervasive, and this matter naturally couldn't be hidden from him, and Yu Dayou didn't use the power of the disciples in Qingyuan Cave's hometown to block and fortify intelligence, not to mention that he was even more rebellious, so it was better not to do it. Since the affairs of the border with Xiliang were dealt with, Yu Dayou relieved the military and political power and handed it over to the Lu family, and Xianyun Yehe became a cloth cloth, and he ignored the world from then on.

Yu Dayou fought and said: "I am reflecting in the Qingyuan Cave, thinking about why I failed, what I did wrong, and how I should do it in the future." ”

"Haha, tell me about it, what have you figured out? I thought you must have figured something out, otherwise you wouldn't have come to see me. Lu Bing asked Yu Dayou to sit down and ordered Feng Bao to bring tea. The two sat opposite each other, although they were getting older and their temples were getting whiter, but this scene was the same as the scene when the brothers sat opposite each other, but at this time, there have been too many changes in things and people, and the speed of change is a little unprepared.
