Chamberlain.

A row of copper urns filled with ice cubes were lined up between Zhu Yijun and the ruling ministers, and Zhu Yijun himself was holding a goose feather fan at this time, fanning himself with a gentle breeze, and asked Fang Fengshi and Qi Jiguang:

"What kind of border defense did you come up with?"

"Your Majesty, according to Zheng Butang's intentions, if you want to avoid Hu Lu's invasion now, you can cooperate with the third lady to open mines for profit, so as to lock Hu in the future!"

"Guy is now a border town of Hudihu with many poor people, especially after the border trade with Gongtong."

Fang Feng said first.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded: "Could it be that ordinary Hu people are more heavily exploited by their nobles?"

"Your Majesty!"

Fang Fengshi then continued to reply, "After the border trade with Gongtong, although more Hu horses, yellow sheep, etc. can be sold into Middle-earth, these horses and yellow sheep are also more controlled by the nobles of the Hu people, so that the horses and sheep that ordinary Hu people can exchange without permission are greatly reduced!"

"Because of this, many times, the governor of my court also had to limit the number of horses sold by the Hu people, in order to prevent their nobles from exploiting their herdsmen too harshly, resulting in an increase in the number of wandering and scattered horses, and even fleeing into the territory of our Ming Dynasty as homeless people, which will increase the pressure on my people in Middle-earth!"

Fang Fengshi was the governor of Xuanda before he was transferred to Beijing, so he was always very clear about the border trade.

Zhu Yijun also continued at this time: "Therefore, he Zheng Luo believes that the imperial court can make these increasingly difficult ordinary Hu people become settled Hu people with work to do by partnering with the Hu nobles to exploit mining profits, so that they are not easy to be instigated by the nobles, and it is easy to be monitored because they settle in the mining area, and it also allows the Hu nobles to also get benefits, so that they also give up the idea of provoking the emperor for the new ceremony?"

"That's right."

"According to Zheng Butang's meaning, in this way, even if there are still Hu nobles who want to make trouble, it will be difficult to entangle a large-scale Hu people, at most more than 100 riders and more than 1,000 riders."

"It just so happens that the price of coal in the Guannai is rising every year, all because since His Majesty ascended the throne, the small people of Dasu have been in difficulty, so the number of people in Yin Shi has increased greatly, and the weather is getting colder and colder, so the demand for coal has not decreased!"

"What's more, the smelting industry in this dynasty has increased greatly, so the demand for coal has also increased greatly, which in turn has caused the coal to also increase greatly."

"It's just that the place where the Hu people live outside the Guan, the best place for quarrying, so Zheng Butang intends to use the method of profit-making to stop fighting."

Fang replied at the right time.

Coal is coal.

Since Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, the technology of using screened coal to make iron began to appear.

Therefore, Fang Fengshi mentioned here that the demand for coal increased due to the increase in the demand for iron smelting in the Ming Dynasty.

"That's a way to do it."

"It might work wonders."

"Zheng Luo is a capable minister, and he can actually think of such a mutually beneficial and win-win method."

After Zhu Yijun nodded and said, he looked at Shen Shixing and other ruling ministers and said, "Generally speaking, as long as the people of the country are enriched and the country has no internal worries, the hidden dangers existing outside are not a problem, they can be solved well, and they can even surrender without a fight."

"What Your Majesty said is that if you regard benefiting the people as the foundation of governing the country, you will no longer have a fixed amount of wealth in the world, so that you can derive the emperor's favor to the outsiders, give benevolence and righteousness, and achieve the fruit of kinghood."

Shen Shixing said with a smile.

Other ministers chimed in.

Zhu Yijun then asked, "What other solution has your Privy Council discussed?"

Then, Qi Jiguang said, "Your Majesty, there is also the cultivation of border people!"

"Most of the people on the border are military households, although most of them have been with the peasants, but most of them still have the foundation to defend the border and resist the captives, at least there are still many who can ride horses, so the imperial court can train them to be militias, so that they can be half-cultivated and half-fighting, or give early warning for the battalion soldiers."

"And because most of them have lost their land, so they are also poor, and it does not cost much money to train them, but they can take this opportunity to subsidize the border people, after all, because the livelihood of the border towns is becoming more and more difficult, even if the military pay is sufficient since His Majesty ascended the throne, there is still a phenomenon of military households migrating south, so that the border population is a year

Less than a year."

"This is true, the population of the border town has indeed decreased over the years, so that if you are a border minister, the officials are no longer strictly assessed on how much you increase the border town household registration."

Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the ministry, followed and said.

Zhu Yijun bowed his head after hearing this.

He also knew that because of the climate of the Xiaoice River, the grain production in the north was becoming more and more serious, and the migration of the northern border people to the south was not only a question of whether the officials were clean and honest, but the general trend caused by climatic factors, and even many Mongolians fled into the interior in large numbers because the nomadic economy was seriously damaged by the climate of the Xiaoice River, or became Gyeonggi refugees, and even had the opportunity to enlist as the Daming border army after the Ming Dynasty began to implement the battalion system.

"Then make it up."

"Border residents who participate in the training and carry out border security will be given subsidies during the training and early warning patrols, and if they die in battle, they will also be given a pension."

"You can discuss and set the standards for subsidies and bereavement benefits."

Zhu Yijun said.

"Yes!"

At this time, Qi Jiguang said again: "Your Majesty, what I just mentioned is only in terms of strengthening the border reserves, the strategy of the people and the people, and the border army has not been mentioned yet.

"Who is your Privy Council pushing?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Fang Fengshi replied: "The ministers pushed Li Rusong, the barbarian general who has now returned to Beijing, he is a border general of the northern army, and he knows the inside of the border army in the north, and he often has contact with Yiding, and many people in his family are doing business in various departments in Tatar Warat, and he has enough eyeline, so he is more suitable for this position than the border general of the southern army."

"There is no need for a major battle with more than 100,000 troops to be fought at the moment, so it would be appropriate for him to do this."

Zhu Yijun said.

"What Your Majesty said is that Li Rusong has more than enough scheming in Burma, but it is obviously insufficient in coordination, so that Mang Yingli has the opportunity to withdraw to the west, he can not attack Dagong himself, but instigate Siam to wave tens of thousands of troops under his command, and go deep into the western part of Dong Wu to cut off his back road, and let him think more about how to plan before he leaves Beijing, but his obvious strategy is still limited to seeking a momentary success, and forgetting to be a commander!"

Qi Jiguang said at this time.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Na Qing should talk to him carefully about this matter after he enters Beijing, he is born with a rough number of people, and he still needs someone to take him."

Qi Jiguang said yes.

……

Li Rusong was already on his way back to Beijing at this time, and had already arrived in the territory of Huguangyue Prefecture.

And let Li Rusong go wherever he wanted to go in order to complete what Zhu Yijun told him, and then write it into the secret music, and when he stopped at Yuezhou Fucheng, he wandered around.

Because of this, Li Rusong was able to see the scene of a government soldier outside the Yuezhou Mansion destroying the drowning tower by the river, and then asked a ferry driver: "You also drown baby girls?"

"Yes, not only drowning women, but also drowning men!"

"There's no way, I can't feed so many people."

"But now it's different, according to the number of children to decide whether to be exempted from military service, the result is that not only do not drown, but go around buying babies and raising them! After all, feeding a few children is nothing compared to the benefits of being exempt from military service."

When the boatman returned, he smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law has now given birth to another daughter, and I am not willing to throw it away."

After Li Rusong heard this, after returning to the post station, he wrote a secret recital to Zhu Yijun and said: "The imperial court exempted the people from service, and it had a miraculous effect, and the matter of drowning babies was greatly reduced, and the Yuezhou government government has begun to focus on demolishing the tower of drowning babies......
