The first wind and rain drifted away

Tsk, look at how beautiful this is, Emperor Chongzhen almost believed it.

In fact, no matter how high or low the status is, except for some fools in the Donglin Party, anyone in front of Emperor Chongzhen is accompanied by a smiling face and saying good things, and you will never know whether they are loyal or traitorous.

This is especially true when the emperor has the ability to dispose of them.

This is the peculiarity of the position of the emperor, called a lonely widow, anyone in front of him is a subordinate, without friends and confidants.

Of course, none of this mattered in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.

Some people have been tested by history, which is enough for Emperor Chongzhen.

In his mind, the other people have a simple criterion for judging good or bad, that is, whether you can complete the task I commanded, who cares if you are loyal and treacherous.

No time to spare!

Commander Tian laughed, it is not possible to starve to death.

My business, how to say it, is linked to the fortunes of the country, well done, I am still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you are also my father-in-law.

If you don't do it well, it will lead to poor national luck, hehe...... When the time comes, I will be the king of the fallen country, and my family may not have any good fruit to eat. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said very seriously, without half a smile.

Originally, this was not exactly what happened.

Tian Hongyu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "One glory and one loss, the minister understands."

It's just that I, Daming, is under the governance of the emperor, and it is getting better and better, and the little ones are swept away by the emperor, and the ministers are willing to swear allegiance to the emperor and share the emperor's worries. ”

Tian Hongyu is a smart person, and his words are still very beautiful.

Emperor Chongzhen was speechless, saying that these people understand the truth, but they have no bottom line when they do things, and there is no way to do it.

Forget it, rambling fart, let's see the real chapter under your hands.

"Okay, I don't talk nonsense, the palace is preparing to establish the Ming Royal Commercial Bank, what do you think?"

"The emperor's direct command is that the ministers are willing to go to the soup and fight the fire."

Tian Hongyu lowered his head and said it neatly, but he thought about it in his heart.

The Ming Imperial Commercial Bank, his own emperor's son-in-law seems to be going to do business.

Doing business, this is my old business, my master.

If you can hold the financial power for the emperor, you should be more favored if you want to see your daughter's status in the palace.

Now that her daughter is a concubine, second only to the queen, and the abbot Zhou Kui is dead, if she can do something, she may be able to go further.

For the sake of her daughter and for herself, she had to fight hard and let it go.

That's what he really thinks.

"The imperial court is developing the Hetao, and I intend to open a market with Moxi Mongolia, and I need to set up a trading house there, are you interested?

It's just that this business has to be traveled all year round, and that place is a bitter cold place, which is not as comfortable as in the capital, you have to think clearly. ”

Emperor Chongzhen finished his words directly, and then pouted, looking at Tian Hongyu this old fox.

This matter is very important, and it is related to the strategic layout of the northwest, and it is not as simple as making money.

Moxi Mongolia has been dealing with Jin merchants for a long time.

In other words, the merchants of Shanxi controlled the trade with Mongolia, and it was difficult to trade with Moxi Mongolia without the merchants of Shanxi.

But their good days have entered the countdown, time can't be delayed, I have to hurry, I don't have time to wait for the Jin merchants to clean up and then fill the gap they left behind.

In other words, as soon as the Jin merchants fell, someone immediately had to fill the business gap they left behind.

Emperor Chongzhen is now laying out.

He now represents the country, and as soon as the country makes a move, there is more to do.

It can be said that this is a bad thing.

"Your Majesty, even if it is the end of the world, the minister is willing."

To the surprise of Emperor Chongzhen, Tian Hongyu just glanced at Tian Guifei and immediately made up his mind.

This undoubtedly subverted the three views in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, this old man is a little different from the dead ghost Zhou Kui?

However, this doesn't mean anything, it's a mule or a horse, take it out and talk about it.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and immediately began to ask about politics.

"Commander Tian has done business in Shaanxi before, do you know much about it?"

"Emperor Qiqi, the minister's hometown is in Shaanxi, and he has a lot of experience in business in his early years, and the harvest is quite rich. Although he later moved to Yangzhou, he was able to do so.

If the emperor asks his ministers to go to the northwest to do business, there will be no problem at all. ”

Tian Hongyu didn't brag, he was very successful in business, so he had the money to go to Yangzhou to train his daughter.

And he has a long-term vision, and the route he takes is the path of becoming a prince.

Back then, Lü Buwei invested in his wife, and Tian Hongyu invested in his daughter, which was essentially the same, both of them followed the path of a woman.

Since his daughter became a princess, his old relationship has contacted him again.

Now, his daughter has become a concubine, and those who used to do business with him are proud to know him.

If you want to talk about relationships, paths, and connections, there is no shortage at all.

Not to mention that if he is in the name of an imperial businessman, it will make him like a fish in water.

As for his identity as a businessman, Tian Hongyu is not embarrassed.

When her daughter entered the palace, these materials are well documented, and it is not a shameful thing.

If it weren't for the cold door, wouldn't my daughter be able to enter the palace?

"Then if you do business with the Mongols, are you sure?" Tian Hong was proud, and Emperor Chongzhen asked again.

"The Mongols, the ministers did not deal with them directly, but they knew a little bit about it."

Tian Hongyu thought for a while, leaned forward slightly and said: "There are many Mongolian tribes, and the territory is quite broad, and in the past, the grassland was mainly dominated by Gushi Khan and Lin Dan Khan.

If it is Gansu, it is mainly Gushi Khan who deals with it, which is what the emperor called Moxi Mongolia.

Shaanxi and Shanxi, on the other hand, are dealing with Lin Dan Khan, which should be called Monan Mongolia.

It's just that after the death and death of Lin Dan Khan in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Monan Mongolia was scattered, and the ministers didn't pay attention to it for several years, I don't know what the situation is now?

However, the Mongolian tribes outside Shuntianfu and Yongping Mansion have been in the capital for many years, and they have done a little business.

Your Majesty, that's basically it. ”

I have to say that Tian Hongyu is a successful businessman, at least he knows a lot about information.

"Good!"

Emperor Chongzhen was really surprised by Tian Hongyu, and couldn't help but look at him a few times and have confidence in him.

Think about it, how can a person like Lü Buwei have no brains?

In history, Tian Guifei died of illness, and it is very telling that this thing can actually think of replacing Tian Guifei with Chen Yuanyuan.

It's just that in an environment like the Ming Dynasty, the royal family and nobles are regarded as dead by civil officials, and they have to be coiled by dragons, where is there room to play?

Therefore, these people have nothing to do in the capital, and their minds are naturally crooked.

Now that they have been suppressed by themselves and squeezed out some of their property, some smart royal relatives and nobles have made the right choice.

And Tian Hongyu is undoubtedly the leader of this kind of person.

If nothing else, you can know by the speed of his reactions.

"Does Tian Aiqing know anything about trade with the Mongols?" After approval, Emperor Chongzhen asked gently.

The emperor finally called himself Tian Aiqing, Tian Hongyu's spirit immediately became excited because of this title, his worried heart was instantly put down, and he became calm.

"Back to the emperor, the Ming Dynasty did business with the Mongols, mainly for war horses, and then for cattle and sheep.

The imperial court did business with the Mongols for the sake of war horses, so this city is also called the horse market.

If the court did not exchange trade with the Mongols, they would have started plundering.

Because, without the supplies of the Ming Dynasty, they would not be able to live.

Tea, silk, wine, salt, grain, iron, and even iron pots are all urgently needed by the Mongols, who do not have the iron pots of our dynasty, they cannot drink clean water, and they cannot eat......

In a word, the Mongols have a request for us.

Therefore, the money of the Mongols was so easy to make that as soon as the things were transported to the horse market, they were immediately snapped up.

As for the Liaodong horse market, you can also exchange it for ginseng, pearls, mink skin, etc., but now that my dynasty and Jiannu have a mortal enmity, it is estimated that it will be difficult to open a horse market.

But the minister thinks that this is a good thing.

Because, Jiannu didn't have what Daming wanted. ”

Under the spirits, Tian Hongyu also began to show off, and talked a lot.

"Your Majesty, there is also Ningxia Wei, which is the place where the imperial court developed the Hetao, where in addition to the desert, it is also a good place with abundant water and grass.

In his early years, Chen also did business in Ningxiawei, and saw someone selling a very fine wool.

This kind of wool is very bright in color, very soft to the touch, and quite thin in production.

However, the warmth is surprisingly good, and it is really a good thing. If the Ming border army can wear it, the cold weather may be ......"

Tian Hongyu shook his head and said with a sigh in his mouth.

However, thinking of the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, he did not think that the border army could afford to spend it.

It's good to be able to get the money down.

Especially after the emperor raised his military salary.

Cardigan?

Pick up the treasure and make a fortune!

Emperor Chongzhen's breathing became short, and he was not calm.

Intentionally planting flowers and flowers, unintentionally planting willows and willows, this is it.

Where did I think that when I met Tian Hongyu today, I originally just wanted to set a model, and I didn't have any big ideas in other aspects, but I opened a door unintentionally.

Providence!

Tian Hong met the emperor's son-in-law and listened to Leng Leng's daze, he didn't know what he was thinking, he could only accompany him in a daze.

At the same time, think about what you just said, what is wrong.

Filtered it, it seems that there is none, and then I can put my mind at ease.

As soon as the window paper in Emperor Chongzhen's heart was pierced, all kinds of inspiration poured into his mind like a tide.

This woolen sweater is really a weapon for cold protection, and it has a better cold protection effect than cotton.

In other words, with the guarantee of warmth, the footprint of Daming's activities can be pushed towards more northern regions.

The most critical point is that the combat effectiveness of the Ming border army can be strengthened.

That's the joy of that.

Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath, he understood the impact of sheep eating people too well.

Moreover, this is a key factor in gradually devouring the Mongols, making them truly herders.

As long as the Ming Dynasty could provide them with a steady stream of living materials, the Mongols would become herdsmen supported by the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the Mongols could be recruited to fight for the Ming Empire.

Isn't that exactly what happened in the past?

You must know that Daming's finances at that time were also not easy, but it was done, which is really remarkable.

How sour is it to use wool to control the whole of Mongolia, and then Daming deep-processing it into woolen sweaters and selling it to them?

As long as there is money, it is enough to recruit all Mongolian adult men into the account of the Ming Dynasty and form a mercenary army to deal with Jiannu.

Let's ask, how did Jiannu deal with it?
