Xu Jingchang said it easily, but how dare he be careless!

He is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he never dares to put the Son of Heaven in danger, let alone joke about the fortunes of the country.

"Dingguo Gong, it is well known that Beiping's finance and taxes have increased, but you must also know that the money in Beiping is still on the books, and the farm you got out has not yet harvested a single crop, and the military rations still need to take the route of transportation. Your Majesty knows better than me how many soldiers and how much food he has. The Mongols were able to survive the Hongwu Dynasty, and so many generals failed to destroy them on the Northern Expedition, which shows that the Mongols have some things that they can't underestimate the enemy, no one can! ”

Jian Yi took a deep breath and said heavily: "We must immediately mobilize the grain and grass and send it to Your Majesty as soon as possible." If we hesitate, you and I cannot bear the guilt...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't afford it! ”

While he was talking, Zhu Gaochi really came.

He knows more than Jian Yi, but he doesn't know exactly how Xu Jingchang operates.

"Brother Xian, Jian Tianguan is not an outsider, so you can say it quickly and let the big guy rest assured."

Xu Jingchang pondered a little and sighed: "Just say it, but we still have to pay attention to confidentiality." ”

Jian Yi just snorted coldly, even a little disdainful.

Secrecy?

Are you kidding me?

Behind the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are millions of people, from the south to the north, from top to bottom, and completely mobilized.

Even if everyone is careful not to leak the news, but with so many people involved and such a huge scale, it is impossible not to be vigilant as long as you are not a fool.

Therefore, if you want to be unaware, you will never be able to do it.

Especially he, the secretary of the ministry, mobilized the military quarters, recruited the people, and arranged the corresponding officials, saying that he had concealed the righteousness, isn't that nonsense!

So far, Jianyi has not received any news, how can he sit back and relax?

"Unless you haven't used Daming's money and food!"

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he smiled calmly, "I really let the heavenly official say it right, that is, he didn't use Daming's money." ”

"That'...... No way! Jian Yi exclaimed: "What Your Majesty needs is millions of stone grain and grass, how can you get it without knowing it?" Aren't you deceiving? ”

At this time, Zhu Gaochi suddenly said: "Brother Xian, did you really get food from Annan?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "800,000 stones in Annan and 400,000 stones in Zhancheng, it was already shipped to Liaodong two months ago. ”

Two months ago, there was no news of the civil strife in the Tatar Ministry, and how could the little Annan come up with 800,000 stone of grain? And why was this batch of grain shipped to Liaodong?

Jian Yi is a stomach of doubts, and I can't understand it at all.

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Don't worry, let's talk slowly, this is a long story." ”

Jian Yi was patient, sat down and listened to Xu Jingchang's explanation, and after half an hour, he understood that it was not Xu Jingchang's uncertain prophet, but the identity of the ghost Lichi, there had been rumors for a long time, and even Arutai was still a Semu person from Persia, and none of them were serious Mongols.

If you want to say why the Semu people can be in power in the Mongolian tribes, you can only sigh the legacy of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

In their case, it is impossible not to have an accident.

Xu Jingchang engaged in a riding and archery competition, but he did not look for opportunities to instigate infighting...... Moreover, Xu Jingchang communicated with Zhu Di again, and after the game is over, it is likely that a battle will break out against Warat.

Zhu Di asked Xu Jingchang to prepare military grain and grass, which had been discussed a long time ago.

Jian Yi nodded, "Even if this is prepared in advance, then you can't conjure up grain and grass out of thin air!" Even if, even if you get grain from Annam, what about the money to buy grain? You can't pay for it yourself, can you? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "This money, how much does it really have something to do with me, I won't hide it from you, when the Annan Hu Dynasty usurped power, I helped them a little...... No, I have 10,000 acres of port land over there, how to say it, it can be roughly understood as the situation of King Qi in Tianjin. However, Annan is not as good as Daming, and my business is not that big. ”

Jian Yi was dumbfounded, although the business is not as big as Da Ming, but he has the final say! It won't be like King Qi, where so many immortals are staring.

"Then, how did you get the money, how did you buy food, can you tell me?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "This is easy, I set up a money bank over there, and I also pulled a lot of local heroes, big guys to make a fortune together." ”

Jian Yi was curious: "Can you really get rich?" ”

"Of course you can, Tianguan, please think about it, the Hu Dynasty has just usurped the throne, and there are many people who are worried about their lives. Let's go over and set up a money bank, they not only have to do business with Daming, but also to prevent being swallowed, so they naturally put the money into the money bank and let us help keep it. Now that I have money, I take out a loan to buy some food, what is the difficulty. ”

Jian Yi's brows furrowed, "No...... Annan is not so mediocre and incompetent, they have a grudge against the Ming Dynasty, and they will not sit idly by and watch us buy food. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Who said we bought it?" I asked the Ryukyus to come forward and buy grain from Annam. After all, the land of the Ryukyus is small, and it is often affected by wind disasters, and the land is not harvested, and the people have nothing to eat, so they buy from outside, isn't it a matter of course! ”

Jian Yi was stunned, and then showed an emotional look.

"Dingguo Gong, you use Annan's savings to buy grain under the banner of Ryukyu, in case something happens. So what to do? ”

"What else can I do, the two of them will make trouble! Anyway, it has nothing to do with Daming. Xu Jingchang said as a matter of course: "You can't expect me to be fully responsible for opening a money bank, right?" I just made a mistake in investing. ”

Jian Yi tensed, stared at Xu Jingchang, and secretly warned himself in his heart, don't touch this rabbit cub's business, let alone go with him, otherwise you won't know how to get into it.

Zhu Gaochi said suddenly: "Annan can grow three times a year, and Zhancheng rice is even more famous in the world, and they are not short of food." But I still don't know, how did this grain get to Liaodong? ”

This is a new problem, how to get food!

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "It was Zheng He who transported the grain, and his fleet was under the banner of Ryukyu, and when he went out, it was just an ordinary merchant ship, even if someone knew, he wouldn't care." When they bring the grain and pass through the Ryukyus, they will go all the way north, stick to the southern part of Korea and continue northward, and turn into Heilongjiang at Nuergandusi! ”

For the sake of convenience, Xu Jingchang also brought a map of Liaodong.

Now it is much more intuitive, Jian Yi and Zhu Gaochi are lying on the picture, looking carefully.

After the fleet entered the Heilongjiang River, it suddenly became enlightened.

The core shipping conditions in Liaodong are actually excellent.

Of course, if you get in in time for the winter freeze, it's over.

But when it comes to the navigation season, Heilongjiang, Songhua River, and Nenjiang River ...... This vast network of water allows boats to reach almost anywhere.

Jian Yi was still puzzled, "Dingguo Gong, I have seen the waterways, but these waterways are unmanned, can they really pass through big ships?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Jian Tianguan, your house uses pine beams and columns, right?" ”

Jian Yi said with a stiff face: "I use it, I can't afford to use the pear red sandalwood!" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and waved his hand, "I don't mean to investigate corruption, what are you afraid of?" I mean, all this timber was transported through the Heilongjiang River, the Yalu River, and the Da Liao River. Lumberjacks cut down wood, weave it into wooden rows, and go down the river to Tianjin and other places. ”

Jian Yi took a deep breath and gradually understood that his so-called wild land had been developed a long time ago, and some people were already using it, but he didn't know the situation.

That's a shame.

"Dingguo Gong, you said that the Liao River is okay, why don't you take the Liao River?"

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Tianguan, do you believe in Jianzhou Jurchen?" ”

Jian Yi subconsciously shook his head, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "I think so too." And from the Heilongjiang River, it can be transported to deeper places. Cao Guogong is responsible for this part, and he can rest assured that he can do it with his ability. ”

Then Jian Yi and Zhu Gaochi asked a few more questions, and Xu Jingchang answered them one by one.

Coming out of Xu's Mansion, Jian Yi frowned, looked up at the sky, and was still stunned for a while, it was really unreal.

didn't need Daming's money, didn't use Daming's grain, and even bypassed Daming's eyeliner, so he sent millions of stone grains, unknowingly, to the front line in Liaodong!

Is this something that a human being can do?

Xu Jingchang, what a ghost!

And after sighing, Jian Yi suddenly realized another thing...... How capable Zhu Di is, Jianyi is clear.

After all, after four years of Jingjing, he is in Yingtian, and he can feel the heroism of attacking a country with a corner!

It can be said that Zhu Di has been fighting against the wind for four years, and he has become a big tomorrow.

Now he has a good supply of grain and grass, and the cost of these grains and grasses is not high, and the cost is not large.

Zhu Di isn't crazy yet?

In this way, what will be the result, then I dare not think!

Jian Yi realized this, and suddenly shrunk his neck, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he spread such a pair of perfect monarchs and ministers...... Anyway, there is one point, Jian Yi can see it clearly, and he will definitely not have nothing to do.

Jian Yi saw it very accurately, and soon there were battle reports coming continuously.

First of all, the Tatar rebellion was to abolish the ghost power and establish a new khan.

Then the Ming Emperor, righteous and strict, reprimanded the thieves, announced that he would raise troops to rebel, help the ghost Lichi, and pacify the civil strife.

Immediately, Zhu Di waved his army north...... After this news, it was enough for a month, and there were no new battle reports.

Just when the big guy was worried, good news came that Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng broke the Tatars in Feiyun Mountain and captured more than 50,000 people!

Just when the big guy was preparing to celebrate, Zhu Di joined forces with Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and defeated 30,000 cavalry of the Warat Department on the Western Front, and chased them to the Tura River in one go, and the capture was not counted!

"Wei Guogong, do you remember this place?" Zhu Di on horseback, majestic and heroic, pointed ahead with a horsewhip.

Xu Huizu's face was solemn, and he shook his head hard, "How can you not know!" At the beginning, Hongwu's father led the three-way Northern Expedition in the fifth year, and unfortunately suffered defeat here. ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "That's right, today our monarch and ministers won it back for King Zhongshan!" ”

Saying that Zhu Di's horse was flying like a horse, running wildly along the river, Xu Huizu hesitated a little, and immediately chased after him......
