Chapter 781: Trading Economies
The people of the Central Plains are agriculture-oriented, farming and living, and most of them feed on grains and grains. The minister once read the file when he was in the Tenshogunate, and I was an ordinary person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only during the New Year festival could I eat a meal of meat. It's a wedding celebration, and if there is a dish of meat on the table, it is also decent. Even if it is a solid family, it takes a month to eat a meal of meat.
On the other hand, there is no arable land on the grassland, so they can only graze cattle and sheep. Salt, vegetables and fruits, tea, ironware, and all kinds of daily necessities in our Central Plains are all lacking on the grassland.
If people have no meat, their faces will be yellow and thin, and if they eat meat, they will suffer from diseases. The grassland tribes and the Central Plains and Kyushu are so complementary, why don't we have so much strength, you rob me, I rob you? Why don't we fully open up trade and jointly build a trading economy?"
"Trade economy?, let's listen to it in detail?" Mo Wuxian has always appreciated the key words he can hear from Ning Yue's mouth, and he has always been quite curious about Ning Yue's unique and far different ideas and techniques. This is also the reason why Mo Wuxian is bent on letting Ning Yue be the minister of Tuogu.
Zeng Weigu is already old, and Sima Jingming is also old. These two right-hand men, Mo Wuxian has relied on them for a lifetime. However, Mo Tianya could not rely on them for the rest of his life. And Ning Yue, Wen can govern the country, Wu can Anbang, and the current First Army of the Great Zhou obeys orders, such a comprehensive talent...... The rhythm of the rebellion of the proper ministers.
However, Mo Wuxian was different from other emperors, and if he changed to other emperors, he definitely wanted to kill Ning Yue before he let go. But Mo Wuxian is the Twelve Peerless Heaven and Earth with the realm of martial arts, so he has some more spiritual realm than ordinary emperors.
Therefore, he can also jump out of the narrowness of ordinary people and see another type of people standing at the top. Therefore, Mo Wuxian was extremely sure that it was absolutely impossible for a person with a spiritual consciousness of Ning Yue's height to be greedy for imperial hegemony. People like Xiang Ningyue always pursue a transcendence that ordinary people can't imagine.
Therefore, what Mo Wuxian was worried about was not whether Ning Yue would seek to usurp the throne at all, he was even more worried about whether Ning Yue would directly slap her ass and run away.
"The so-called trading economy is to condense two unrelated individuals or forces into a common economy through trade. Just like our yin and yang fish, the cathode gives birth to yang, the anode produces yin, the yin has yang, and the yang has yin, complementing each other and endlessly.
The grasslands are rich in meat, cattle and sheep, fur, as well as precious gems and iron ore. And we in Kyushu also have vegetables, fruits, grains, tea, fine porcelain, and silk that they don't have. We can trade for what we need.
Moreover, this economy needs to be maintained by the joint efforts of the Central Plains and the grasslands, and once this economy develops, it will have unlimited benefits for both countries. At that time, no one will dare to start a war to destroy everyone's interests.
But to sustain this economy, you need to customize detailed terms, and all disputes and contradictions must be resolved according to the terms. β
"That'...... What if there is a disease in our grassland? Just like the bubonic plague three hundred years ago, when suddenly more than half of the cattle and sheep in the grassland were killed and injured, wouldn't such an economy suddenly collapse?" For Ning Yue's method, Peony seemed to be more concerned and worried than Mo Wuxian.
Ning Yue smiled faintly, revealing a reassuring look at the peony, "One or two patients, naturally harmless, the only thing the grassland is worried about is a large-scale outbreak of infectious plague." This can be written in a contract.
When an epidemic occurs in the grassland, the Central Plains Kyushu needs to send excellent veterinarians to the grassland for rescue as soon as possible, and the grassland can also send people to learn from the Central Plains how to prevent and treat diseases. Culture, knowledge, can be exchanged. The so-called trading economy is nothing more than a link to increase exchanges.
After hundreds of years, both the grassland and the Central Plains and Kyushu are accustomed to each other's existence, both have an understanding of each other, and they all identify with each other. Then even if there is some friction, it is unlikely to lead to an outright war.
It's like my hometown, Yishui Township, a small mountain village in the south of the Yangtze River, where my ancestors have lived together for ten generations.
After listening to the blueprint drawn by Ning Yue, not to mention that Peony's eyes were already shining, and his eyes were full of fascination, even Mo Wuxian, who was against the grassland and even bent on completely destroying the grassland, was a little moved.
In fact, Ning Yue's idea was also thought about by Qianchongshan twenty years ago. It's just that Qian Chongshan at that time was a doer, not a strategist. Qian Chongshan hopes to do it first, and after achieving initial results, he will report to the imperial court.
But it's a pity that when no one in the government and the opposition supported him, let alone believed it, the lofty strategy of Qianchongshan was stillborn, and he was also wiped out by the Xuanyin Sect's calculations. And now from Ning Yue's mouth, Mo Wuxian suddenly remembered the old friend who had long since left.
"Yes, I can agree with the proposal of the Lantian County King on behalf of the grassland, although the grassland advocates force, but the purpose of martial arts is to survive. If it was possible to survive without killing, the grassland would not have shed so many years of blood in vain. Zhou Tianzi, what do you think?"
Full of hopeful eyes, staring straight at Mo Wuxian on the side, Mo Wuxian lowered his head and pondered for a long time, his eyebrows suddenly tightened and suddenly stretched. After a long time, Mo Wuxian slowly raised his head.
"Peace is what I want, and if I can eliminate war in the grassland and the Central Plains forever, it is even more my wish......"
"Thank you Zhou Tianzi for making it happen!" Peony stood up silently and bowed slightly.
"Wait, I haven't finished my words yet, but there are too many times that I can't believe it, if you don't follow the same yang and yin, then how can I explain to my people?"
"What kind of guarantee does Zhou Tianzi want?" asked Peony with a gloomy face as she put away the smile on her face.
"I look ...... If you marry Ning Yue, then you are a relative of the emperor of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and I promise you to abandon your prejudices and cooperate with the grassland for a win-win situation, and build a trade ......and economic circle."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point. Ning Yue's eyes widened, and her heart couldn't help but chuckle at this moment. How many times has this been? How many times has she been pitted by Mo Wuxian Ning Yue almost saw the picture of Qian Duxue raising her sword to chase Qianli in front of her eyes, and suddenly shuddered.
Peony was also full of surprise, but she reacted earlier than Ning Yue, the corner of Peony's eyes swept over Ning Yue, her eyes were full of resentment and pity, "Zhou Tianzi, do you think this is possible? If Ning Yue is willing to marry me, I will naturally be happy." But aren't you afraid that the Twilight Snow Sword Immortal will turn the entire Great Zhou upside down?"
"Family-country diplomacy, stable marriage, this is a national policy, not to mention, as a dignified man, how can Ning Yue be managed by a woman? What qualifications does she have to make trouble?"
"The affairs of our husband and wife, it is not the emperor's turn to dictate......" At the moment when Mo Wuxian's domineering voice fell, a cold voice suddenly surrounded everyone's ears. In an instant, Mo Wuji's face turned pitch black.
I wanted to speak a few times, but I swallowed it raw. Mo Wuxian was very helpless about Twilight Snow, why did he scold Ning Yue loudly, but he didn't dare to scold Twilight Snow loudly. No matter from which point of view, Mo Wuxian was helpless against Twilight Snow.
"As for the matter of spreading branches and leaves for the Ning family, I don't bother the emperor, Duxue alone is enough......! Do you say so?"
"Yes...... Of course...... No problem......" Ning Yue's teeth trembled violently, and her voice trembled incomparably. Just as Mo Wuxian was about to scold Ning Yue for not having the majesty of a man, Ning Yue suddenly spoke again, "Twilight Snow...... Can...... Remove your Xuanyin coldness...... Husband feels a little cold......"
"Click-" With a crisp sound, the chair under Ning Yue's buttocks burst instantly, turning into a sky of ice and snow flying in the air. At this moment, Mo Wuxian realized that the chair Ning Yue was sitting on had already frozen into a piece of ice.
A drop of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Mo Wuji's forehead, and an embarrassed wry smile appeared on his face, "That...... Forget it, if Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is really sincere, she can send enough people to the capital of Zhongzhou, and I need to discuss it with the Manchu ministers again when I go back. What does Her Highness think?"
"That's right, the steppe tribe is also suffering from a big loss now, and now that the Tuye tribe has been expelled by me, I also need a new khan, so I will leave. β
"Ning Yue, go and send off Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"
"No need, lest the Twilight Snow Sword Immortal feel uncomfortable in her heart, besides, now that the Twilight Snow Sword Fairy is pregnant, Ning Gongzi still relies on her a little more. Women have a temperamental personality during pregnancy, and Ning Gongzi should pay attention. β
When the words landed, the figure of Peony had disappeared. Mo Wuxian on the other side was slightly stunned, and looked at Ning Yue happily in an instant, "Dusk Xue Sword Immortal is also pregnant?"
"Yes, who else?" Although Ning Yue was very happy before, after such a period of buffering, her mood had calmed down at this moment, and her answer was natural and casual.
"Your aunt, Princess Changle, is also pregnant, which is really a double happiness. Since the Twilight Snow Sword Immortal is pregnant, I don't want you to do anything in a hurry. Before the Twilight Snow Sword Fairy gave birth, you should accompany her well. Come on, get up and drive back to the palaceβ"
Watching the grassland hulu recede like a tide, Ning Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. It was also at this moment that Ning Yue understood the responsibility on the shoulders of those in high positions. Great power and status are not great arbitrary.
Those who hold real power have the power in their hands to entrust the life and death of the people of Limin. If one trick is lost, there is no room for regret. So the higher the location, the less you can afford to go wrong. Reflect on the fact that I made a lot of mistakes on this trip to the grassland. And these mistakes directly led to almost the destruction of lives.
Silently watching the grassland army disappear, suddenly a resentful voice came from his ears, "If you are really reluctant, you can chase her back." β
"Are you tempting me?"
"Do I need to be tempted?" said Twilight's arrogant rise, her mouth slightly turned away.
"Actually, Peony and I really don't have anything, although I have a deep relationship with her, we have never taken a step forward. Moreover, how fortunate Ning Yue is to have you as my wife? β
"It's good to know, let's go, go back to Guiyue Palace. After being away for so long, I really don't know what will happen to those two living treasures. The sound of Twilight Snow landed, and the man had soared into the sky and leapt into the clouds. Ning Yue smiled bitterly, and her figure disappeared in place in a flash.
