Chapter 176: I Can Make Money Too
Because of this problem, Zhu Houxi had no choice but to read a large number of ancient books, power should be free, why is there a kind of restraining by power now?
At the same time, he also ordered to invite his master on Wudang Mountain over, this thing still has to find someone to discuss, and it is most suitable to find his own master.
For Chongxu, Zhu Houxi still has feelings, he was born in this body, and he has always lived with Chongxu, for many years, the relationship is still good, and he is also extraordinarily generous to himself, knowing that his identity is impossible to inherit the Taoist system of Wudang Mountain, but he does teach himself to himself, and he piles himself up to the congenital.
Although this has a lot to do with his talent, but without the help of the old Taoist priest, he would not have been able to complete it, and he had been busy before and did not think of him, and now it happens that most of the things have settled, and he can just take him into the palace to live for a few days, and by the way, to discuss academic issues, he feels that this truth does not make sense.
Then there is the matter of Yang Shen and Yan Song, Yang Shen is responsible for chasing down the Mongolian soldiers, there are enemy troops in the Ming Dynasty, there is always a feeling of being stuck in the throat, His Majesty's meaning is naturally to catch it alive, keep it for later work.
Yang Shen also means this, some of the limbs are able-bodied and some are infected, he directly takes penicillin, this thing is really not worth much, but a complete labor force can create huge value.
Yang Shen was busy catching prisoners in the Ming Dynasty, and Yan Song was not idle, he was in charge of the restoration of the site, after all, the potholes outside the city were bombed, and they could not be restored, and there was also the pacification and recovery of the affected people.
Giving some compensation to the families who were robbed and affected, at least helping them resume production or something, this is a very tedious job, and Yan Song's busy head is about to explode.
Originally, there was actually no such procedure, but there was no way, Your Majesty must get it, saying that it was no matter what, give a basic amount that can survive, Yan Song thought that there seemed to be no problem, isn't it just to spend some money, anyway, the treasury is full, just spend it.
Then he was going to be busy going crazy, a lot of things waiting for him to deal with and sign, and now he suddenly became a little envious of Yang Shen, that guy can lead the troops to a big battle, this logistics department is really not easy to do.
And he has to send troops to fight, there are really a lot of, Yan Song feels that he is not crazy.
The battle on the border is very stalemate, Qi Jingtong's side is not a lot of shells, and the ammunition consumes a lot during the first wave of the opponent's charge, and now it can only be put into the cold gun, although there is an absolute advantage in the number of people on the opposite side, but the morale of the soldiers on Qi Jingtong's side is more sufficient, and generally speaking, it can be regarded as a back and forth.
"Report the losses of the various departments, his grandmother's, what kind of wind did the Mongols smoke, aren't they afraid of the dead, those who put it in have been exterminated, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they haven't received the news." Qi Jingtong scolded his mother a little, these guys are like crazy, they still have to fight if they can't get in, they really don't need money to be a soldier's life.
"The casualties of the Second Army are only half, and they can still fight."
"Third Army ......"
Each ministry reported its own situation, and the casualties were actually not small, but fortunately, most of them were injured, and the penicillin in the army was still enough, as long as they recuperated for a period of time, they were good men.
"His grandmother's, the Mongols are crazy, Lao Tzu's casualties are close to average, they have more, they don't want to be better, right?" Qi Jingtong couldn't figure it out, why bother, he had to fight if he couldn't get in, he was annoyed that although penicillin was used in time, if the injured part was not treated in time, it would still leave hidden dangers, but at present, he didn't have time to send these wounded people down.
"I heard that there is no food, so it is estimated that I will not hit the south wall and will not look back, and it may be much better when His Majesty's reinforcements arrive."
"It's almost time, these guys are going, there is a shortage of food, it's not like we can't sell it to him." Qi Jingtong shook his head helplessly, as long as he gave money, he believed that His Majesty was willing to sell it, even if it was more expensive, if there was no money, he could exchange it for the materials of the quilt, and he still had a good conscience in business.
"Well, do you want to talk to them?" The commander of the Second Army whispered an underestimate.
"Talk about fart, it's all like this......" Qi Jingtong slapped the table, and then seemed to think of something.
"It doesn't seem to be impossible, it's not a way to fight like this, it's not impossible to talk about business than business, presumably Your Majesty should be happy, after all, it's not just money over there, there are some goods that money can't buy."
Qi Jingtong touched his chin, he still has a certain understanding of His Majesty, war is only a means, but not the ultimate goal, if you can reasonably plunder wealth and labor, I believe Your Majesty will not refuse.
The people below did not dare to speak, and since the beginning of the war, the general's temper has become more and more irritable.
"Okay, that's it, first send an envoy over to negotiate, and then send a message to Your Majesty, ask Your Majesty's thoughts, if not, we will fight again." Isn't it just to make money, you Yan Song can do it, I can too, you old boy, let you be scared.
Several people looked at each other, and they didn't know what the general was thinking, of course, they didn't dare to ask, anyway, they were obedient.
The trade between the two sides is feasible, the premise is to have the same military strength, and now it has shown the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, and then talk about cooperation, Qi Jingtong feels that there is room for operation, and if it is a big deal, it will be fought again, who is afraid of whom, just these tens of thousands of people, he dares to guarantee that the guys on the other side will never be able to get in, he dares to speak.
Zhu Houxi flipped through the book in the room, waiting for the arrival of the master by the way, but the master didn't wait, and waited for Qi Jingtong's letter.
"Oh? It's funny, when did this guy have such a mind? Zhu Houxi looked at the envelope in his hand with interest.
Some of Qi Jingtong's ideas are good, instead of fighting like this, it is better for me to sell you grain, it happens that this year's sweet potato harvest is abundant, this is all edible, how boring it is to fight, it will kill people, if you want to eat it, I will sell your food, you can also come to me to work, he can even open a factory on the border and recruit young people over there to work for him.
Doesn't the capitalists all do this, enjoying the cheapest labor with a small amount of money, and sometimes it is not necessary to fight a war to conquer a place, in fact, it is okay to invade a place in this way.
"Master, what did General Qi say over there, is he urging us to send reinforcements?" Lu Fang bowed slightly, he would not read this kind of private letter.
"Haha, it's outrageous, Qi Jingtong wants us to sell grain over there, it's a very interesting idea." Zhu Houxi laughed, won his heart, the conquest of force is only the bottom, the psychological conquest is the top, not only can you make money in this way, but you will not be able to do without Daming for a long time, of course, the premise of all this is that Daming's food is enough, and you don't have enough to eat.
Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but sigh Qi Jingtong's brain was spinning fast, the lack of food on the grassland side would definitely not give up, but it was suggested that the trade system would be different, even if it was a little more expensive, they could only grit their teeth and admit it, after all, they were short of food now.
"General Qi's brain reacted so fast, when the slave was still thinking about resisting the enemy, he had already thought of how to corrupt the enemy and weaken the enemy." After all, after this trading line is established, other trading lines will naturally not be a problem, and at that time it will not only bring a lot of wealth, but also corrode the enemy's mind.
To be honest, the current invasion of the steppe tribes is forced by more than ten times the life to obtain some things or transfer conflicts through war, but I sell these things to you, what chance do you have to do to me?
Love to read
"He, it is estimated that he is watching Yan Song make money, and he also wants to have a little crooked brain, but the method is really good, it doesn't have to be money, you can ask for some fur gems or something, you can also mine some minerals, and even open some factories around to recruit their labor, these are all okay, most of these trades were done by the people in the past, and the quantity was limited, let's expand it directly, we can sell it ourselves, the problem is whether we have enough food for ourselves, don't have enough to eat ourselves."
The method is a good way, but the grain thing, to be honest, the yield is really limited, it can be said that before the hybrid rice came out, the world was in a state of food shortage, the previous emperor didn't think about it, it's not nothing, he is tight, how can he sell it to you.
"The grain is still enough in the short term, but it is not suitable for selling in large quantities, but the yield of sweet potatoes is very large, but I don't know if I want it over there." Although it is about trade, but rice, a grain that can be stored for a long time, naturally still has to be stored a little, and it happens that sweet potatoes are vigorously promoted this year.
"Let's talk, it's not that you can't talk about it, it's okay to even sell it, this matter is accurate, you tell Chen Hong to go on a trip, go over and discuss, and come up with a standard." Originally, he wanted to ask Huang Jin to go, but wasn't Chen Hong smart, Zhu Houxi was afraid that Huang Jin would suffer if he was too honest.
"No, then Your Majesty, what about the army on the road, do you withdraw it?" Lu Fang nodded slightly, and also agreed with His Majesty's statement, so if this talk comes down, do you still want to send troops?
"What to do when you withdraw it, even if you don't do anything, you have to pull it around, the transaction is a state of reciprocity between the two sides to reach a fair deal, and if you want to take advantage, you have to show more strength, not only to send, but also to pull over the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army to make a bright appearance, don't let people look down on it."
Zhu Houxi saw this problem very thoroughly, you don't have the corresponding strength, how can people respect you, between countries, if you want to take advantage of each other, if you want to completely extinguish the other party's careful thinking, then you have to show your own strength, the stronger the better.
"No." Lu Fang nodded slightly, the country is peaceful, and the twelve guards are also withdrawing, these people are enough, and as long as Jinyiwei does not leave, there will be no danger in this capital.
The battle that day was too shocking, although he did not get a glimpse of the whole picture, but it can be seen from the roar of the explosion and the trembling of the earth, all this is not known, but he knows that this is all brought by the Jinyi guard, no wonder His Majesty has no fear, there is such a wrong one, that is, even a hundred thousand troops can not be broken.
The only thing that made Lu Fang curious was who the rumored Heavenly Divine Soldier was that day, he asked Yang Shen, but Yang Shen just smiled and didn't speak, which made him a little inexplicable.
Lu Fang also mentioned it to His Majesty, but Zhu Houxi just smiled, why do you want to reward yourself, although he has this cheek, but if Lu Fang knows that he has played a heavenly divine weapon, he must not be said to die.
"Forget it, you better call Chen Hong over, I told him directly, in fact, I think it is more appropriate for Gu Da to use this matter, but he is busy in Yangzhou." Zhu Houxi was afraid that Chen Hong would guess wrong, and smart people were not good at this, thinking too much.
He used to hate people to talk half of what people said to make people guess, he tried not to be this kind of person, he could say it clearly, and put his requirements on the surface, after all, he had nothing to fear.
Maybe some emperors need to use this form to ensure their prestige, but they don't need it, they are just here, and it is the royal way to be dignified, as long as they are strong enough, all the ghosts and ghosts are just false.
"On the Gu Gonggong side, the situation is not very good, but the rich businessmen in Yangzhou are notoriously united." Lu Fang still knows the situation over there, and it can be regarded as a great use of the bitter Gu, but that guy's handling of things is really reassuring, at least there is no problem, and those rich businessmen are also honest.
"Solidarity? It's just a benefit, look at it, Gu Dayong keeps the obedient ones that they clean up, those who follow them prosper, and those who go against them die, they are not irreplaceable, Gu Dayong is probably just looking for an opportunity, don't look down on him, the negotiations on the border side are not over yet, and it is estimated that those guys will be able to clean up. ”
Gu Dayong belongs to the kind of example of dogs fighting people, as long as the master behind him, that is, the emperor is strong enough, then he will definitely not be cowardly, and things will definitely be done for you beautifully and you can't find fault.
"That's good, the slave is still thinking about whether to send someone to help Grandpa Gu." Lu Fang smiled, he didn't care too much, His Majesty praised Gu Dayong for doing a good job, and from his point of view, Gu Dayong did a good job, and he couldn't fault it.
As for jealousy, it is completely unnecessary, Gu Dayong is very clear, he is indeed competing for favor, but not in that sense, and His Majesty trusts him enough, there is no conflict between the two sides, and the cooperation between Lu Fang and Gu Dayong is still good.
"No, if it was needed, I would have sent someone a long time ago, and since he didn't reply to ask for help, then I have to believe that he can do this well, it's completely unnecessary, just wait for the good news, and ah, there will be gold and silver buried on the spot later, and you will take over some of it and put it in the treasury, and I will be useful later."
The treasury spends money very quickly, but no one dares to oppose him in the back, and putting a little money on the bright side also makes everyone feel at ease.
