Lost leaves in the pavilion under the apricot tree.

Xie Jin slowly poured a new cup of tea for Tie Xuan.

The big red robe sent from Fujian Road, the tea soup is ruddy, the soup noodles are slightly rippling, and a wisp of white smoke rolls.

Tie Hyun looked at the rising white smoke, lowered his head and blew softly.

The smoke began to distort.

Tie Xuan said softly: "What is the opinion of the eldest gentleman brother on this?" ”

"The New Deal can't go." Xie Jinhui was very decisive.

It seems that just now, Tie Hyun has already had his opinion.

Tie Xuan frowned slightly, and his face was puzzled: "Oh? ”

Xie Jin's brows were a little solemn: "At the moment, the new deal seems to be in full swing, but it is complicated, but it will involve you deeply, and you have no time to take care of anything else."

Locally, there is the King of Qin supervising, he can use the knife if he can't make sense, what about you? Do you dare? ”

Just because of the fact that the land is divided into acres and the acres of land are cleared, His Royal Highness King Qin does not know how many people he has killed in recent years.

The memoratory note received by the cabinet about the impeachment of the King of Qin alone was that several carts could not fit it.

This winter, just burning those impeachment recitals will be enough for the cabinet to keep warm.

Not to mention, there is also the matter of local officials who have not yet finished their review, but if they are found to be illegal, it is a shackle, and a single case can cost hundreds of lives.

Tie Hyun shook his head.

He can unscrupulously implement the extermination policy of the Japanese people in Yingzhou, but he must not be as omnipresent in the Central Plains.

Xie Jin said softly: "The new deal will take time, and you need to go further. What is the root cause of the rebellion in Henan Province and Shanxi Province this year? It is because of the suppression of the New Deal, an outbreak of local accumulation.

Why did Your Majesty repeatedly use King Qin instead of letting me wait for the cabinet to do it directly? After the king of Qin finished his errand, he could return to the fiefdom, and if the grievance was too great, His Majesty could cut the king of Qin and ban him in the capital to think about it.

If we wait, I am afraid that we can only use the head to calm the local grievances, and then let the new policy continue. ”

Tie Xuan pondered for a long time: "So...... Brother Gentry wants me to go to the Nine Sides? ”

Xie Jin nodded.

"You have been in Yingzhou for several years, and it can be said that the country can divide Yingzhou into four provinces, and you are the one who has contributed the most.

You are familiar with how to control the lands outside the territory, and you are familiar with how to make me stop and encroach on the lands outside the territory.

Now, Taisun is at the border pass, no matter whether he can get along with Warat or not, there will definitely be a big war outside the pass in the past two years, a big war that will make me Mingding Ding.

If you win, then within a hundred years, I will be safe in the north of the Ming Dynasty; If you lose......"

"I'm afraid that the new domestic policy will also be affected, or even interrupted."

Tie Xuan took over the words, and finally understood how much influence the Jiubian side had on the current situation in the DPRK.

Xie Jin nodded: "That's right, so you should go to the ninth side." The wolf cubs on the grassland have never been killed for thousands of years. The nine-sided Great Wall began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Great Qin was about to be destroyed by the remnants of the Seven Kingdoms, and the imperial court did not call back the army guarding the border passes.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is eloquent, and he has the talents of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, but he has only laid down a peaceful situation for decades.

Over the years, groups of people have disappeared from the grassland, but new forces have emerged.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to truly enter the prosperous era and master the inheritance of the world, this state must be ended on the grassland.

And you, you know best how to do it. ”

In the pavilion, Tie Hyun fell into deep thought.

It was a long time before he looked up again.

"Therefore, if I go to the Nine Sides, the law I practice cannot be the same as the law I practiced in Yingzhou."

Xie Jin nodded and said, "That's right, you have to judge the situation and rethink the countermeasures." ”

Tie Xuan suddenly smiled: "What advice does the eldest gentleman have?" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xie Jin with a deep gaze.

Since Xie Jin can be so admired today and let himself go to the Nine Sides, then he must have thought about this matter a long time ago.

And he just lacked someone to help him carry out these plans.

It seems that it is just right for me to return to Beijing this time.

Xie Jin also smiled.

They are all smart people, and with these thoughts, he didn't expect to be able to hide from this person Tu Tie.

"Actually, I have seen everything you have done in Yingzhou, and I have carefully reviewed every one of them from the beginning to the present. Although not all of them can be used on the grassland, there are many ways to use them. ”

"Change their customs, fix their residences, weaken their ethnic groups, and turn them into Han."

Xie Jin said what he thought in his heart word by word.

Tie Hyun, who was opposite him, listened carefully and remembered every word in his heart.

Xie Jin continued: "Recently, I often go to the Ministry of Industry to look for Zhang Shangshu, his cement is very convenient, in my opinion, it can be used to build forts on the grassland outside the Guan, and then expand into a fortified city, so as to deter one side and slowly advance.

Then the cement road and the railway are used to connect all places, and then the grassland is divided by the road, so that it cannot be unified.

Recruit herdsmen to graze for my Daming, give grain and grass, and buy people's hearts.

Sold to the nobles of the steppe tribes to luxury, corrupt their hearts, and sink into pleasure.

And then ...... And then under the immortal heaven of the grassland where Esoteric Buddhism is practiced, it will cause trouble to its ethnic group and destroy its foundation.

After our dynasty recovers the Western Regions, it will rebuild the two roads of Anxi and Beiting, and go north to the areas of Lake Balkhash and the Shihe River and Emu River in Yeer, and cut off the grassland from the west. If this situation can be achieved, then the grassland outside the Nine Border Pass can be the inland grassland of my Daming. ”

Xie Jin's rhythm is in an orderly manner, and he will make plans in his heart one by one.

And Tie Hyun's eyes were already wide when he heard this.

After Xie Jin finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and then spit out heavily.

Tie Xuan stared at Xie Jin in front of him tightly: "This is longer than the journey from Jiaozhi to Beiping!" Regardless of the recovery of the Western Regions by the Ming Dynasty, it is the law that is practiced outside the Guan, and it will cost countless money and food, with a large amount or a shortage. ”

The Western Regions are so far away that the people of the Central Plains have forgotten about it since the former Tang Dynasty Xuanzong.

But outside the nine sides, it is different.

If it is according to Xie Jin's words, take the city as a node to cut and divide the grassland tribes, and stop to domesticate the tribes on the grassland.

The resources that the imperial court needs to invest in this will be incalculable.

Xie Jin sneered: "If you can let Daming have a foundation for all generations, these efforts are not enough." As long as you Tiehyun nods and agrees, I will move it in the cabinet.

After that, Jiaozhi Road, Zhancheng Road and other places will be directly transported to Beiping, transferred to all parts of the nine sides, for your use.

The four gold and silver outputs of Yingzhou will also be divided into a share of the nine-sided affairs with you. ”

Xie Jin's eyes flashed with a ghostly light.

There is nothing that the Central Plains people can't do.

As long as the imperial court has the determination to never change and has a steady stream of resources, there will always be a day when these two things will be done.

Just like thousands of years ago, the people of the Central Plains walked to the Western Regions step by step, and then planted that land with Han flags.

Tie Xuan let out a sigh: "The court will not agree like this." ”

Xie Jin smiled, noncommittal, but changed his words and said: "Reopen the Western Regions and Dingding the grassland, Your Majesty, the crown prince, and the grandson will all agree." ”

Tie Hyun was stunned for a moment.

Oh, yes.

Even though Xie Jin's plan was costly, there was countless opposition from the DPRK and China.

But as long as this matter can make Daming embark on a path far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties, then it will definitely be done.

Xie Jin said again: "Why did the Han and Tang Dynasties lose the Western Regions twice? ”

"The road is far away, and there is chaos in the middle of the country. But the most important thing is that the Western Regions are too far away, so far that it takes months for a matter to reach the imperial court. ”

This is the reason that has been explained countless times in the history books, Tie Hyun smiled.

Xie Jin nodded and said, "That's true, so in my arms, I have already written a recital." ”

"What was written?" Tie Hyun immediately asked.

Xie Jin took out the book that was warmed by himself from his arms and sent it to Tie Xuan.

While Tie Xuan was flipping through it, Xie Jin explained: "This matter, in fact, I am fortunate to be able to solve the fundamental problem of the Western Regions."

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court set off from Yingtiancheng, went north, turned to the Yellow River, and traveled to Henan Mansion.

Since then, the imperial court has built railways and passed through trains.

Across Henan, Shaanxi two more than a dozen provinces, west out of Jiayu Pass, Yumen Pass, Yangguan, until Hamiwei. ”

Tie Xuan was already dizzy to hear it, muttering: "How long will this road take......"

Xie Jin smiled slightly: "I have asked the Ministry of Industry to calculate, it is about 5,000 miles."

As long as this road is completed, it will take months or even half a year for the imperial court's soldiers and horses to reach Hamiwei, and then it will only take one or two months to go back and forth.

If the imperial court sends troops from Hamiwei, this road can continue to be built to the west and lead directly to the hometown of the Western Regions. ”

Tie Xuan's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and his brows furrowed: "How much does it cost, but do you have a budget?" ”

"From Henan Road to Shaanxi Road, the terrain is relatively flat, easy to build, and the cost is slightly lower. The area from Baoji to Wuwei is rugged and rugged, or you have to invest too much. ”

Obviously, Xie Jin had already made plans for the construction of this railway from Luoyang City, as for Hamiwei.

He spoke slowly, stating the total budget.

"The total length is 5,000 miles, and the average cost per mile is about 10,000 taels of silver."

Tie Xuan opened his mouth for a long time before he spoke: "Fifty million taels of silver!" ”

He had been in Yingzhou for several years, and almost every time the output of the Iwami Silver Mine and Treasure Island had been brought back to Amagi from under his nose.

What kind of concept is 50 million taels of silver, Tie Xuan is clear.

Since then, all the output of Yingzhou has been used to supply the construction of this railway, and it will take no less than ten years for the imperial court to fill the budget of 50 million taels.

And this, it is still necessary to use a lot of money and food expenditure next to the imperial court, and at the same time to ensure that the construction of this railway is smooth sailing.

According to Tie Xuan's estimate, if Da Ming really wants to build this railway, it will not be completed in 30 years.

Xie Jin smiled.

"In fact, the steel needed for the railway can be supplied by the Qiongzhou government, the money can be supplied by Yingzhou, and the grain and grass can be supplied by Jiaozhi Road. I expect the road to be repaired within 10 years. If the two years go well outside the border, the herdsmen will be mobilized to participate in the road construction, and we can strive to complete it within five years! ”

"It's impossible!"

Tie Hyun opened his mouth categorically and expressed his opinion.

"It was impossible to spread the land into the acres at the beginning."

"It was also impossible to conquer Cochin and occupy the city in the first place."

"It was impossible to conquer Yingzhou at the beginning."

"But now, these things have been done one by one, is it impossible to build a road?"

Xie Jin's eyes were full of determination.

Tie Xuan shook his head vigorously: "This is different, different." ”

Xie Jin turned the teacup and said quietly: "If you do what you did to those widows, if you operate it properly." Excluding the expenditure on the materials needed for the railway, as well as the grain and grass consumption of the road workers, the amount of 50 million taels may be subtracted. ”

"It can't be!"

Tie Hyun replied loudly.

Xie Jin looked directly at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "So, I need you to go outside the Nine Border Pass." Daming needs more road builders! ”

Xie Jin swore that he was not a belligerent.

But now Daming has a new demand, just as those Japanese people were needed to dedicate themselves to the construction of Daming.

Now almost all the Japanese people have been killed with the rebellion in Shanxi Province.

Even the Japanese people who were not used in Shanxi Province were also killed because the court was jealous.

The Ming Dynasty now needs a new ethnic group to come and dedicate themselves to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

The Tatars and Warats outside the customs are a very good choice.

Xie Jin's eyes were gloomy.

As long as it is not the Ming people who die, then everything is worth it.

Tie Xuan looked at Xie Jin's face, his body gradually softened, and his shoulders drooped.

He found that everything he did in Yingzhou was nothing in front of Xie Jin.

Xie Jin looked at Tie Xuan calmly.

"I can't stop it......"

"If this road is not repaired, the imperial court will also use troops against the Western Regions."

"If we don't, the new deal will not be interrupted by those who oppose it, and it will fall apart because the gate has no new achievements."

Xie Jin sighed lightly.

Do you really want to do this?

In fact, after a few years, he reacted, and he was unconsciously tied up.

Da Ming has begun to embark on a completely different path.

Just like the steam locomotives and steam trains that Zhang Ergong made, they were running at full speed and moving straight forward.

The difference is that both steam locomotives and steam trains can be stopped.

But the external conquest can't stop.

Liang Guogong has been training troops in the northwest for two years, and although he has now been transferred out of the northwest, the Dadu Governor's Mansion has sent several veteran generals to the northwest in the blink of an eye.

For what?

It is necessary to continue military training in the northwest.

In the south, even though the founding prince was about to return to Beijing to accept the title of prince of Jin, no one ever mentioned that the war on the front line would stop.

Even the cabinet now knows exactly where the front line of the Southern Expeditionary Army has hit.

The cabinet now only knows how much the front line has advanced again, and how much the territory of the Ming Dynasty has added.

Tie Hyun is completely stupid.

He has been away from Beijing for several years, and before he knows it, Daming has become something he doesn't know.

Xie Jin shook his head, showing helplessness: "Why does the grandson stay in Shanxi Road when the New Year is approaching?" Why do you want to continue patrolling the border next year?

Your eastern expeditionary army has collected four new roads for the imperial court, and the southern expeditionary army has expanded its territory for thousands of miles, what about the nine sides?

If the nine sides keep the status quo, the morale of the army will be dispersed, and you should know what will happen when the time comes......"
