Speaking of what Zhu Houzhao was interested in, Zhu Houzhao became active again, and hurriedly ordered someone to take the map, unfold it, and his four eyes were fascinated in this map. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Houzhao said: "Datong is the best, I feel that Datong is located in an important place, not to mention, I have been there, it is very interesting, I miss many people there." ”

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Look, Datong is not good, although it is an important town facing the desert, it seems that something is missing." ”

Ye Chunqiu said: "If Your Majesty wants to find a place and happens to want to deal with the Tatars, Datong is facing the hinterland of the desert, but it is very inappropriate. The Tatars rode fast horses, came and went without a trace, behind them was a thousand miles of wilderness, once lost, they could immediately return, according to the ministers, if they really want to find a place, it should be Shanhaiguan. ”

"Shanhaiguan?" Zhu Houzhao read it in his mouth, and his eyes immediately looked in the direction of the Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is the gateway of Jingshi, and it is not far from Jingshi, and it will arrive in a day or two.

This Shanhaiguan is the main road in and out of Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty has arranged many military towns on this line, and it is ...... It is indeed the most important official defense place of the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Houzhao thoughtfully, and said: "Shanhaiguan is surrounded by the sea on one side, and the Jingshi is behind it, and the towns of Liaodong are some north of it. ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, but he held his chin and shook his head and said: "It's because this place is too important, but it's not beautiful, the Tatars know that this is a difficult bone to gnaw, so they refuse to come, but Datong is different." ”

Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "This is not necessarily, there are many ways to attract Tatars, they just want to plunder, the reason why Shanhaiguan is not as good as Datong is because Datong is not only a military town, but also has countless fertile fields, the barns are full of grain and grass, and there are many merchants who stay here; But Shanhaiguan is different, Shanhaiguan is just a pass, and it is a strong pass, which is difficult to break, but what if Shanhaiguan also has countless money and grain? ”

Zhu Houzhao blinked, and indeed felt that what Ye Chunqiu said was indeed quite reasonable, but the next moment, he frowned and said, "But...... Do you want to heap up a fortune to lure them? ”

Ye Chunqiu and Zhu Houzhao have experienced this kind of talk on paper many times, Ye Chunqiu said firmly: "In fact, to sweep the desert, Shanhaiguan is the key, it connects Beijing in the south, communicates with the Grand Canal, connects Liaodong in the north, and is backed by the sea...... The minister heard something. ”

"What?" Zhu Houzhao looked up at Ye Chunqiu.

Ye Chunqiu smiled at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Now the price of our Ming horses is already high, it is an old horse, and now it can't be stopped without seven or eight taels of silver." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Houzhao squinted, as if he remembered some of the words that Ye Chunqiu had said before.

Ye Chunqiu continued: "Now that horse-drawn carriages are popular, everyone refuses to hire sedan chairs, horsepower replaces manpower, not to mention that the horse-drawn carriages produced by the Zhenguo Government now require a large number of furs to lay carriages, resulting in a shortage of fur, and the most important thing is that near Gyeonggi, because many tenants refuse to rent land, they have gone to the Zhenguo Mansion to beg for a living, which makes the gentry in the countryside have to prepare more cattle and horses to cultivate the land, otherwise this good field, tenants are insufficient, how to cultivate?" Therefore, the price of cattle and horses has been rising. His Royal Highness doesn't actually have to go to Shanhaiguan with his wealth, he only needs a decree to allow people to go there to herd horses. ”

"So? Are they willing? If the Tatars attack, it will be fatal. Hou Zhao felt that Ye Chunqiu's proposal was a little unbelievable.

"Why not?" Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and he may not know much about his people. ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless and said, "Then you can talk about it." ”

Ye Chunqiu said very seriously: "The people are not afraid of death, they are only afraid of poverty. ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't come back for a long time.

Ye Chunqiu continued: "Now the cattle and horses are still high, if the cattle and horses can give birth to huge profits, in this pass, there are poor people who have no land with no tiles and no cones, they are already worse than dead, and they don't have three meals, if they are given a chance to get rich, for them, what is the point of raising livestock?" Once there is a pasture near Shanhaiguan, a large number of merchants will gather to buy furs and cattle and horses, and once there are merchants, there will be men, there will be brokers, Your Majesty, in this way, the problem of scarcity of cattle and horses in the customs can be solved, and at the same time give some people an extra livelihood, and the most important thing is that there, you can become the target of the Tatars, if the Tatars really dare to come, Your Majesty can be here, give them a head-on blow, as long as the Tatars are weak, it will inevitably make the desert safe, There will be more people willing to come to this desert to graze, and even open up pastures, our Ming people here one more, Tatars will have one less, Your Majesty's people occupy one more pasture, their cattle and horses will be less of a group, if Your Majesty again divide and encroach, with the Han to control the Hu at the same time, and then with the Hu to control the Hu, you can once and for all solve the border troubles in the north. ”

"Uh...... Is it? Zhu Houzhao licked his mouth, feeling that Ye Chunqiu's words were a bit fanciful, what grazing, what animal husbandry needs, these ...... Is it really that scary? And the people are not afraid of death, afraid of poverty? How can you not even be afraid of death?

Zhu Houzhao stared hard at Shanhaiguan, frowned and said, "You mean, I should go to Shanhaiguan?" ”

Ye Chunqiu smiled, just to tease you, these are just theoretical discussions, do you really want to move seriously? No kidding......

Seeing Ye Chunqiu showing such a smile, Zhu Houzhao immediately looked a little annoyed: "You are so timid, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?" ”

Ye Chunqiu said disagreeably: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, even if you really want to implement such a plan, it is enough to appoint a messenger, why should Your Majesty go there in person?" The son of a daughter can't sit down, this sentence, His Majesty may have heard the callouse in his ears, but it is still very reasonable. ”

Zhu Houzhao, who has always longed to be a real hero of the world, was immediately stimulated when he heard Ye Chunqiu's words, and said angrily: "Who said it? Emperor Wen set the capital of Jingshi, there is the meaning of the Son of Heaven to guard the country, of course, the Son of Heaven must be in the key place, after the turtle retreats in the pass, what kind of Son of Heaven.
