Arutai almost wants to slap his two mouths, why aren't you stupid to death!

Have you forgotten what happened to Zhu Di?

He just took his brother King Ning hostage when he saw him off, and then Jing Nan succeeded.

If there is a father, there must be a son, and it is not surprising that Zhu Gaoxu did this.

The only strange thing is that why is my brain gone, and I haven't even seen through this little trick? Isn't it a bad brain to shoot eagles when he is so competitive?

"It's useless for you to hold me hostage, I'm just a Taibao, and there is a Great Khan and other colleagues on it...... When my men are angry, they may enter the Great Wall and plunder unscrupulously, which is not a blessing for you. I advise the King of Han to let me go as soon as possible, lest the swords and soldiers see each other, and it will be difficult for them to be happy. ”

Arutai tried his best to pretend to be tough, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't care at all, what is a prisoner under the ranks? Your life is in my hands, and I'll kill you!"

Only Xu Jingchang, he thought it was true, "Arutai Taibao, what you said is too right...... Holding you hostage will not make your subordinates bow their heads and admit defeat, killing you will also arouse the anger of your subordinates, and there will be a lot of trouble inside and outside the Great Wall. Even if it drags on for a long time, it will be a terrible thing for your command to fall apart or be swallowed up by someone else. I'll cut a long story short, let's make a deal quickly, and then I'll send you back. ”

Arutai was dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"You talk counts?"

"Naturally, I am the governor of Beiping, and the king of Han must also listen to my orders."

Arutai was good for a while, and then he accepted the reality that Xu Jingchang was the one in charge, after all, a prince could still take dozens of horses, and he arrested the leader of the other party, no matter how you look at it, this is a top fierce man.

is comparable to the kind of Chu Overlord, and the worst is Lu Wenhou.

How much skill does it take to subdue him?

And what do you want to talk about with such a character?

"Arutai Taibao, now that the matter has come to this, let's talk openly...... The fact that the Hongwu Dynasty did not unify the desert proves that we can't destroy you, and even if we win, we can't control the vast desert. As for you, don't dream of restoring Dayuan. We are neighbors who can't move away, and we have to think about how to get along! After all, you are constantly going south for pots and pans, and it is not a good thing for us to build up an army of millions, let's discuss a proper way, what do you think? ”

Arutai is stupid...... Nothing else, there are still such sensible officials in the Ming Dynasty?

Don't they all talk about the incompatibility of the Chinese and the thief?

What kind of Chinese orthodoxy must be called for submission and tribute?

This kid can't lie to me, right?

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "I know that Arutai Taibao doesn't believe it, but you can learn more about it, Daming is adjusting his thinking about governing the country and adopting a more pragmatic strategy." The traditional Confucian view is being abandoned...... All in all, we make judgments based on actual circumstances, not bad decisions based on false morality. ”

Arutai swallowed and spat, "What are you going to do?" ”

"First, we can resume trade, but it must be official, it must be taxed, and it must not be done privately. I would like your cooperation in this regard. ”

Arutai simply agreed, "As long as you are willing to sell us things at the right price, of course we are willing to cooperate." ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "This second point, with trade exchanges, I hope you can restrain your people and not invade the Ming Dynasty, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

Arutai frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I can only restrain my subordinates about this, and I'm afraid I can't control the others." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "So I have to find a way so that you can manage them." ”

Arutai was shocked, "You, what do you mean?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "In the matter of trade, I will give priority to taking care of your tribe. And things that other tribes can't buy, such as armor, weapons, bows and arrows...... I can sell you some of it...... So that the Taipo could become a real leader among the Tatar tribes. ”

Arutai was dumbfounded, and the whole person was not good, "Are you willing to help me?" So what do you want? ”

Arutai is not stupid, and he will definitely not let himself take advantage of him for no reason.

Xu Jingchang smiled: "First of all, the first two are the first two, I hope you can abide by them...... Secondly, I want you to promote Tatar reforms. ”

"What reforms?"

Xu Jingchang snorted: "I'm just hanging the title of young insurance now, you are all Taibao!" Is this appropriate? Isn't it good that you have already withdrawn from the Central Plains, and you will completely abandon the official system of the Central Plains and change back to the Mongolian system! ”

Arutai was stunned for a long time, and said unconvinced: "Didn't you say that you don't care about Confucian orthodoxy?" ”

"Whoever said it, I am the word first, and the righteousness is behind. If allowed, of course, it will be fame and fortune. Xu Jingchang said: "That's pretty much it, I'll send someone to send you back now, if you still want to talk, let's arrange for envoys to come and go, you can also come over." I won't stay longer, after all, I'm afraid that something big will happen to your subordinates because of suspicion. ”

After Xu Jingchang finished explaining, he really asked people to take Arutai down.

Arutai was stunned, he also looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said in his heart, His Royal Highness the King of Han, you just let me go?

You don't even look at such a big prey?

You look so worthless!

However, Zhu Gaoxu was not interested at all, he only cared about one thing now...... "That cousin, how much money can we make?" ”

Xu Jingchang laughed, but said mysteriously: "Wealth you can't imagine." ”

Xu Jingchang didn't tell Zhu Gaoxu directly, but told him a story...... The story of the seven captures of Meng Huo.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't think so, isn't this the magic of attacking the heart, he has heard a lot of people, and there is nothing new.

But Xu Jingchang has the ability to talk about ordinary things to a new height.

As we all know, the strength of Shu is very weak, especially after Liu Bei's army defeated Yiling, it is even more unbearable...... The family money accumulated over the years is gone.

In a huge country, Zhuge Liang is left to support himself.

But then the prime minister pacified the south, and soon gathered troops for the Northern Expedition, and also won successive battles, how did he do it?

"All the mysteries are now settled in the south, and the armor is sufficient." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "This sentence shows that Prime Minister Zhuge has pacified the south and has the ability to go on a northern expedition...... You know why? ”

"Relieved of worries, what's so difficult about this?"

"Is that all?" Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "I inquired, when Mu Ying marched into Yunnan, he still saw many temples of Zhuge Wuhou, I want to ask you, His Royal Highness the King of Han, after more than a thousand years, why do the people of Nanzhong still remember Zhuge Wuhou?" Is it just a virtual seven captures and seven verticals? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes rolled, and he shook his head helplessly, "I don't know." ”

"That's it." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhuge has a characteristic, that is, wherever he goes, he builds wherever he goes. After pacifying the south, he sent the precious Shu brocade skills, so that the people of the southwest could farm and live and work in peace and contentment...... Because of this, the people of the southwest read the good of Prime Minister Zhuge . I'm not welcome, our descendants, especially Mu Ying, who can successfully pacify Yunnan, must remember the good of Prime Minister Zhuge and the fact that we can control Lingnan, thanks to the Lingqu of Qin Shi Huang back then. To be able to control Hamiwei, I must be grateful to Zhang Qian for connecting the Western Regions......"

These words are far away, and then go back to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, he asked the people of Nanzhong to plant mulberry trees and produce Shu brocade, and in a short period of time, he made a fortune. You must know that at that time, both the nobles of Eastern Wu and the magnates of Wei were proud of using Shu brocade. Can you imagine that Sima Yi fought hard to deal with the prime minister, and as a result, the prime minister's military expenses came from the wealthy surname of the Wei State who was in the same stream as the Sima family, don't you think this is ridiculous? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was really stupid, and it was the first time for him to analyze the Three Kingdoms from an economic point of view.

"Brother Xian, tell me again, does Prime Minister Zhuge have this trick effective? What happened in the end? ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "You don't know how it is, the Shu Kingdom died in the end...... But this does not mean that the prime minister is wrong, it just proves the greatness and wisdom of the prime minister...... Because the prime minister relied on Shu brocade to get rich quickly by relying on handicraft industry and commerce, he not only supported the Northern Expedition of Shu, but also made beautiful achievements, and made the people rich and prosperous, not weak Wu and Wei. However, there is also a problem with relying on industry and commerce to get rich, that is, it is not as stable as cultivating the land. ”

With the death of the prime minister, the law he set quickly collapsed, and the successors who followed him were inferior to the prime minister in terms of ability and prestige. Therefore, the business model of Shu brocade created by the prime minister collapsed...... Although Shu brocade is still selling well, the imperial court can't get so many taxes, the finances can't be maintained, the soldiers and horses are also declining rapidly, and the common people can't live their lives, and finally Shu perished. ”

Xu Jingchang analyzed this, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, do you understand what we are going to do in Beiping?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu struggled to digest these words, and suddenly slapped the table and stood up suddenly.

"You let go of Arutai, in fact, you want to learn from Prime Minister Zhuge and let Meng Huo go?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Although I don't dare to compare with Zhuge Cheng, it means a little bit." ”

"And what are you going to do next?"

"Naturally, Arutai will be able to raise more cattle and sheep, and we will set up farms here and trade with them...... Maybe a thousand years later, the grassland tribes will also build temples for the Han king, incense sacrifices, endlessly. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up and his heart was pounding, but he quickly controlled himself.

"Brother Xian, don't coax me, as soon as Prime Minister Zhuge dies, the Shu Kingdom will decline, which shows that this business is not easy to do."

"That's right!" Xu Jingchang said categorically: "So we must hurry up and establish farms, build schools, and it is best to ask Your Majesty to open Enke and cultivate talents who know how to do business, so that these people will continue to fill the officialdom and escort our cause...... It's not easy to be a prime minister, he is the only one in Shu who can use it, and we have more people in Daming! ”

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and said slowly, "You mean we can do it?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "We will win!" ”
