Among them, the main battle faction believes that not long ago, the grassland plundered the Northern Plains, although it was a matter of the previous dynasty, but the war situation at that time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty returned to Daxin, it was a matter of time, and the grassland's move was undoubtedly to take advantage of the fire to rob, if it was easily let go, it was undoubtedly too weak.

After all, the so-called annual tribute, coming to the court every year, is just a nice saying, in essence, because of communication problems, the imperial court is unable to control too far territory.

Among them, the value of the tribute is completely inferior to the annual reward given by the imperial court, which is close to spending money to buy fame.

Therefore, what the main battle faction thinks is to take advantage of the current prosperity of the army, directly fight to the grassland, plough the court and sweep the holes, so as to deter the eight directions, and those who commit crimes in Shenzhou will be punished even if they are far away, so as to deter Xiaoxiao.

As for the main peace, what he thinks is that now that the new dynasty has just been established, it is the time to recuperate, and as for the grassland, even if it is to be fought, it will not be now, or ten years from now, or twenty years from now.

At the current speed of Daxin's industrialization, if there were really ten years, the national strength at that time would be strong, and the surrounding small countries would be just dust.

The only problem is that there has been no war for 10 years, and the quality of the army will definitely be attenuated, but the attenuation in this regard can be compensated for with more advanced weapons.

As for now, as soon as the army moves, it is burning money, although the foundation of Daxin is thick, but if you go to the grassland, it will cost more than the harvest.

The two factions in the DPRK and China have their own ideas and constant arguments, and the matter of starting a war is a big matter, so it has been delayed until now, waiting for Zhao Cheng to appear.

"The affairs of the grassland have to be fought, and they must be majestic and vigorous, if not, they cannot be calculated for thousands of years."

"The so-called tribute, subject countries, these are all imaginary, Daxin wants to develop, it is necessary to trade, and trade with various countries, I sit on the land of China, the land is vast, just dumping all kinds of commodities to various countries, and then at low prices, buy all kinds of raw materials from various countries, the benefits obtained are enough to transfer the income of the imperial court, from the people's taxes, to trade, so as to improve the people's livelihood, and the people have spare money in their hands, they will naturally buy all kinds of commodities, speed up the circulation of resources."

"Let's just say that the grassland, if you buy cattle and sheep over there, if you exchange them for commodities, a good iron pot will only be about fifty in Daxin, and the cattle and sheep in Daxin will be two thousand cattle and five hundred sheep, and if it is a grassland, an iron pot will be enough to exchange for a sheep, which is ten times the profit."

"This five hundred, it is still the price of commodities, the imperial court has built all kinds of iron yards, and the cost of a pot when it leaves the factory does not exceed five, in fact, the profit is a hundred times."

"But if they are not beaten and frightened, it will be impossible to establish a trade road, and if any merchants go, there will be countless robbers along the way."

Zhao Cheng first listened to the people in the cabinet, each expressed his own views and thoughts, and then listened to the people below, reported the situation of the grassland and the situation of the envoy group, and then asked the cabinet people to debate for a while, and finally made a conclusion.

The benefits of trade have always been extremely high, but the trade routes are far away, there are too many accidents along the way, and even many small countries, the people are bandits, and they don't trade with you normally at all, you can buy it for zero yuan, why spend money?!

And over time, no matter how high the profit is, few caravans have passed.

As for the ancient imperial court, they are actually not interested in development, no matter how difficult it is for the people, it is only a matter for the people, what they want is stability, as long as it is stable, it is a basic operation to close the country and close the country.

Even, because he doesn't want to raise a coward, he will take the initiative to close the business road and strictly guard against it.

Such a strategy, in the absence of foreign enemies, can indeed effectively prolong the fortunes of the country.

Zhao Cheng is also familiar with history, as far as the history of the real world, the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, earning a lot of silver every year, and its business path, across the ocean, across many countries, can be described as an inexhaustible gold mine.

But when it came to the Qing Dynasty, such a gold mine, the Qing Dynasty did not want it at all, and directly blocked the country.

I don't want any money, it can only prove one thing, that is, the Qing Dynasty wanted more.

It is true that the Qing Dynasty wanted stability.

As soon as the business road opened, it was not only as simple as commodity trade, but also the collision and integration of ideas and cultures, and there were too many unstable factors in it.

"Virtue may make people admire, but for the wolf of wealth, no matter how good the character is, it is only weak, only with strength, with blood and fire, to beat it to fear, in order to make it fearful."

"Now Daxin has raised three million soldiers, if it is unloaded and returned to the field, it will undoubtedly seem harsh to the imperial court, if it is better to directly turn the army into business, so that it can guard the caravan, the four directions of Shenzhou, there are thousands of small countries, if you can do all the trade, it is a thousand years of merit."

"Lin Yi, Li Tonghai."

Zhao Cheng's tone suddenly increased.

"The minister is here!"

When the two heard this, they immediately stepped forward and bowed and clenched their fists.

"There is still trade in the prairie, and it will be left to the two of you, and this matter has a lot to stake, and all of them need to be carefully considered and grasped by the two of you."

"Among them, the formation of the caravan, the two of you can go to the aliens and recruit talents, but remember that the aliens are available and reusable, but the mind is too alive and credible, but you can't be trusted."

"It's almost time, and you can discuss the rest of the matter yourself."

While speaking, Zhao Cheng had already stood upright.

"Zhao Xiang, you sit here."

After taking two steps, Zhao Cheng asked Zhao Xiang, who was standing on the side before, to sit down, and then left the cabinet without hesitation.

As for this move being seen by others, it is undoubtedly sending a signal, that is, although he Zhao Cheng is out of customs, if it is not a major event, he will still ask Zhao Xiang.

Originally, now that the new dynasty has just been established, Zhao Cheng, as the emperor, should not be like this.

But helplessly, he really doesn't have much energy to deal with these miscellaneous things now.

Even if he went out of the customs today, it was because of the previous national movement that alarmed him, and it was only then that he appeared briefly.

As for the big thing he is doing now, it is to prevent the Heavenly Demon from descending into the world and destroying the world.

And it was almost when Zhao Cheng went out, Lu Xun and Gao Shou also happened to get out of the car, and the two of them were taken by the guards and shuttled around the palace.

It was already dark, but the palace was brightly lit, and halfway through, the group met Zhao Cheng directly.

Gao Shou and Lu Xun only saw a young man with a face like a full moon and a tall figure walking towards him, seeing that it was Zhao Cheng, but he didn't dare to recognize each other, what if he guessed wrong? !

It is to stand on the spot.

And the Ouchi guard, however, was unequivocal, immediately took half a step back, bowed his head, bowed from afar, and said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

"Wang Er, you go down first, it just so happens that I and two old friends are walking in the palace."

Zhao Cheng waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Wang Hu bowed again, and then slowly retreated.

And the atmosphere froze, Zhao Cheng didn't speak, looking at the two of them with a smile, and Gao Shou and Lu Xun also stood dumbfounded, like two stupid geese.

In the end, Zhao Cheng opened his mouth and said, "Lao Lu, Lao Gao, long time no see!" ”

"You ......"

"Are you really?!"

Lu Xun stammered a little.

"It's not true, it can be fake?!"

"What, do you have anything to say?!"

Zhao Cheng asked rhetorically.

"Xun Piao has been floating for half his life, he has not met the master, if he does not give up ......"

Lu Xun blurted out.

And before Lu Xun finished speaking, Gao Shou had already strode forward and said loudly: "Father-in-law......"
