Yang Tinghe frowned, hesitated, and still stood up: "His Royal Highness King Wu, filial piety comes first, no matter what you do, there is no filial piety in the poor family; All evil and fornication are the first, regardless of the heart, and there is no perfect person in the world. The little prince returned to the Ming Dynasty, whether it was harboring evil intentions or not, but at the moment the evil deeds were not manifested, is it too early to draw conclusions? ”

Xie Qian was actually very optimistic about Yang Tinghe and this young man, and reminded him at this time: "Tinghe, we are not judging the case now, but discussing politics." It is necessary to thoroughly analyze the benefits and disadvantages of all aspects, so as to prescribe the right medicine and lay out various preventive measures to prevent problems before they occur. However, what Tinghe said is also that the little prince's evil deeds have not been revealed, so it is not easy to convict directly. ”

Alas, these literati! The inner king and the outer saint have become habitual thinking. Hua Houwei was very helpless, so he had to reveal his thoughts: "Second Master, Saiwai and Daming are essentially two countries at war. The two countries can do anything when they are at war, and the soldiers are treacherous. If it is not my race, its heart will be different, the little prince is not our Ming people, and he has nothing to talk about benevolence and righteousness. He surrendered because he couldn't beat us, but it wasn't a surrender. Since it is a captive, it is up to us to dispose of it. It's ominous to kill prisoners, can we still let them mine! ”

Zhu Houzhao's heart moved, and he looked at Hua Houwei, who nodded slightly. He looked at Liu Jian with a brick: "Master Liu, what do you think?" ”

Liu Jian groaned, touched the white beard under his chin and said, "There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, let alone now?" What King Wu said can only be done but not said, after all, the Ming Dynasty ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety. According to Lao Chen, killing a little prince can't solve the problem of the grassland, so we should brainstorm and maximize the benefits. ”

In the end, it was an old minister, and he considered it very comprehensively, Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with Liu Jian's attitude, and nodded happily: "What Master Liu said is very true, I think so." British Duke, you are an old minister of the Four Dynasties, experienced, what do you think? ”

Zhang Mao was a little aggrieved, and it was not easy to settle the trivial matters at home last night, after all, Zhang Zhong was rebellious, the cutting that should be cut at home, and the unified caliber of the upper and lower parts that should be disguised, was busy all night. Listening to Zhu Houzhao asking for his opinion, he thought for a while and said: "The grassland has been unruly since ancient times, and it is useless for the little prince to kill him or not. According to the old minister's view, he simply adopted the little prince, and according to the rules of Duoyan Sanwei, let them fight with Yi Buyi and Mandu Agule, and we can live a stable life for two days. ”

This is the most dangerous practice! Hua Houwei made a decision in an instant, shook his head and said: "Later generations will not forget the division of the previous life, the Eastern Han Dynasty incorporated the Southern Xiongnu, and after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, it was the naturalized Hun Liu Yuan who broke Chang'an City!" This is not appropriate! The grassland has always been a threat to the Ming Dynasty, and a suitable way must be found once and for all! ”

Min Gui couldn't listen to it anymore, all dynasties and dynasties have done it like this, how can you, King Wu, find a way to eliminate the threat of the grassland once and for all? He arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu, since the Xiongnu, the grassland has been the sworn enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty, how can it be done once and for all?" If there is such a method, the minister will wake up laughing in his dreams. ”

Hua Houwei knew that this was the opinion of everyone in the DPRK and China, and he could not say that Min Gui was a straw bale. He looked around, cheered up and said loudly: "In the past, it was because the grassland and the Central Plains were two skins, and there was no close connection between them, of course, they could not be settled once and for all. But now there is! ”

Jiang Mian's eyes lit up, and he vaguely thought of a possibility, and asked loudly: "Is it that after industrial development, the Central Plains needs grassland, and the grassland also needs the Central Plains?" ”

Hua Houwei nodded approvingly: "Not bad!" Although the grassland is barren, there are minerals needed by the Central Plains underground! There are copper mines in Mobei that cannot be dug up for a thousand years, and there are high-quality coal mines and iron ores in Ordos. If we exchange cloth, grain, tea, porcelain, etc. for ore, and the grassland depends on the Upper Central Plains, how can we knock on the customs every year? Besides, there are countless cattle, sheep and horses in the grassland, and in exchange for wool to spin into cloth and knit into sweaters, the grassland people are still willing to touch their God of Wealth? ”

Min Gui shook his head: "Unrealistic!" The steppe barbarians were greedy, and the former Song Dynasty and the steppe also had trade exchanges, so was the war avoided? His Royal Highness King Wu, it's not appropriate. ”

Hua Houwei smiled slightly: "What Lord Min said is that the former Song Dynasty was indeed like this, and they were missing one thing that led to the evil consequences." ”

"What's that?"

"Knives and guns! The Ming Dynasty is different from the former Song Dynasty, the sixteen states of Yanyun are all in my hands, and the combat effectiveness of the army is not at the same level. At present, from Taizu to the present, it is the Ming Dynasty that has pressed the grassland. With the protection of knives and guns, coupled with the exchange of interests, Lord Min, if you are the leader of the grassland, you can get benefits without fighting, but you can't eat and walk around when you fight, are you willing to fight? ”

Min Gui was speechless and shook his head slowly: "No one in the world is a fool, of course he doesn't fight." ”

"Yes, let's have a knife and a gun in one hand and money in the other, what can the grassland people do? Not a good cooperation yet? You can also hire grassland soldiers and horses to fight abroad, and you can kill a lot less people by giving a few dollars, isn't this a good deal? ”

Min Gui nodded: "Of course it's good, but what should the little prince do with this time?" ”

It seems to be a nonsense, Hua Houwei has just revealed his opinion, but this sentence is to ask for the specific way to deal with it under such a policy. The old bureaucrats are very insidious! Hua Houwei smiled: "The alliance under the city!" Make the most severe gesture and force the little prince to leave hostages, the trade between the two sides always needs a good start, and without the guarantee of force, the steppe people will not talk about any rules. ”

Min Gui didn't have anything to say, Yang Tinghe smiled and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness King Wu, your strategy is very good, and the lower officials are very much in favor of it." The lower officials have something to ask for. ”

Hua Houwei was very polite to Yang Tinghe: "Master Yang, please speak in person." ”

"The grassland soldiers and horses are mercenaries, do you still have to fight abroad all year round?"

Hua Houwei nodded: "This is just a backhand, our industry has developed, so many products must be sold, there are always bastards who don't have long eyes to see money and ask for money, then this backhand will play a role." Also, further south of the South Seas, there is a continent where there are no countries, only natives who do not even have words. This continent is best suited for grazing cattle and sheep, and the steppe people will not be tempted. ”

"Oh? How big is that continent? The prince's intention is to make a lot of money and move all the grassland tribes there? ”

Hua Houwei nodded: "Not quite, the place near the sea is rich in minerals and suitable for farming." The inland is vast, and it is a grassland that is wider than the Ming Dynasty, and it is the paradise of the grassland people! ”

Yang Tinghe's brows furrowed: "Lord Wang, are you going to open the sea?" ”

"Not bad! The circulation of products can be rich in the Ming Dynasty! After going around for a long time, I finally pointed out the top priority in Hua Houwei's heart!
