His Majesty did not think it was like the past, in front of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, he respectfully worshipped on the main hall and looked at the emperor of the Han people from a distance.

To a certain extent, the Duoyan Department is still a guard here in the Ming Dynasty, his father has the position of governor, has the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, and is a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has just beheaded Bodi in the Xuanfu Array, and Jinong Gunbilik has not been able to seek benefits in Datong, Daha remembers his father's advice: When the Ming Dynasty sent people to discuss secretly, he said that it was better than the previous tribute to open the market, and he wanted to praise the Ming Son of Heaven and show a gesture of submission.

The place where his majesty saw was the State Palace, behind the most majestic hall.

The Great Tomorrow was also very close to him, and before he was about to kneel down to pay homage, he said, "Stop." Zhengde has been invaded by Duoyan in the past ten years, and you have been here once. At that time, the emperor's brother agreed to the tribute, but as a result, Duoyan entered the Kou again, and the Ming general Wei Xiang's entire army was killed; Later, Bodi led all the troops to Koubian, and your father led a large army to help him enter Gubeikou. Today, Ge Duoyan Sanwei, and the left and right governors of Duoyan Sanwei are dismissed. You are an envoy of the Duoyan Ministry, and you don't have to be courteous to a minister. ”

He only doesn't know the new simple words, but he can understand the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

What does it mean that he stood on the spot?

“…… Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Ministers, ......"

Zhu Houxi shook his head: "I just reminded you that your Duoyan Department, and even Taining and Fuyu Ministry, since you have never surrendered to the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind in the past, from today onwards, you will also come to the Ming Dynasty as a foreign minister." Open for trade, business as usual. This time it has been negotiated, and my will will be sent to your father. If you don't talk about it, you will send it there. Since he is not a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he can't talk about paying tribute. ”

As soon as they met, they were disrupted, and they didn't even know how to salute.

To tell the truth, he is willing to perform courtier etiquette for the sake of the clan and coax the emperor of the Han people to be happy.

But now the Great Tomorrow obviously still remembers the hatred of the Duoyan Tribe, but agrees to open a trade with them.

Da Ha is also not qualified and does not dare to say here that the Duoyan Department is still subservient to the Ming Dynasty, what if the Ming Dynasty puts conditions on them?

Yan Song opened his mouth on the side: "Daming hopes that Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu can put down their swords and guns with Daming. Since Wang Dutai has allowed you to open the market, he hopes that your envoy will value peace, and carefully consider the situation of the three Duoyan tribes in the future between the Ming Dynasty and the Mengyuan Khan's court. Since the market is open, it is necessary to benefit each other, and this is what Your Majesty means. ”

Daha knew that Wang Shouren had taken the position of a new marquis, left the center of the Ming Dynasty Hall, and went to Xuanfu.

Listening to this meaning now, how can it seem to make the Ming Emperor unhappy? After all, Duoyan Sanbu did repeatedly violate the Ming Dynasty, but he wanted to buy Duoyan's ......

Zhu Houxi sat quietly on the throne, and waited for Daha to see him with the "gift of foreign ministers", and then said: "Last year, Bodi also sent an envoy in advance to be my brother and ask for tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Later, he raised troops and broke the ban, and finally died in Daming. This time, you came to Daming, and then sent someone back to tell Hua Dang: I will give him another chance, and think carefully about whether the advantages of following Daming outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. ”

“…… The minister heard clearly. ”

"In this mutual market, I'm afraid you won't be able to call the shots. Yan Song, you and Liu Long go to the Huitong Pavilion, first make it clear to him what Da Ming means, let him repair the book and return to the Duoyan Department, and wait for the flowers to make a decision. ”

"Commandment."

Zhu Houxi stood up: "Get up and go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace." Ordered Wang Shouren, it's almost autumn again, and Xuanda must be ready. ”

The mood of the fight is very solemn: Wang Shouren is the one who stabilized the Gubeikou and then created the Encirclement Bodi Fighter, so he won the first merit and was awarded the title of Xinjian Marquis. What do you need to prepare for Xuanda now?

No matter what Xuanda prepares, the Duoyan Department in the Daning area, which is not far northeast of Xuanfu, will feel the pressure.

This time His Majesty's view is so simple, Daha is just here to listen to the attitude of the Great Tomorrow Son to Duoyan Sanbu in person.

When Yan Song and him left the palace together, Liu Long was already waiting there.

"This is Liu Long, the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and this time I will be in charge of the negotiation with you Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu to open the market. Of course, this official will explain to you in detail the meaning of Da Ming today, so let's go to the Huitong Pavilion first. ”

The place of the negotiation was set at the Huitong Hall, and when Daha returned here, it was still a long time before noon.

Liu Long just silently accompanied him, since Yan Song was still here, it was Yan Song who came to speak. But Liu Long had also been summoned by the emperor, and accompanied by his in-law Cui Yuan, he understood what the emperor meant, and he had to negotiate step by step.

Cui Yuan told him that this is not what it used to be, and this time he has to perform well and make a contribution.

There is a special side hall for receiving guests in the hall, and it is now also arranged. There was a long table in the middle, and the Ministry of Rites arranged for two people to sit at both ends to take notes, and Yan Song left to the middle of the left side.

"Please." He smiled and signaled to play ha, and there were also people from the other two departments who came to Beijing with the Duoyan Department.

Just now, they had already heard Daha relay the meaning of the Ming Emperor. Although Yan Song was smiling now, they felt that the situation was unclear and frightened.

"Please allow this official to tell you about the situation on the grassland first, and you can hear if this is the reason."

Yan Song then opened his mouth solemnly, the struggle for power in the Khan Court after Bodi's death, the changes in the situation on the left and right wings, and the embarrassment of the position of the three Duoyan tribes were clearly said by him.

"I have been given the title of Khan, how will the new Khan's call to Sun Jiang bring benefits to the left, make them all submit, and deter the right? Either commit my Ming Dynasty and plunder people and goods; Either clear the steppes and give the left wing more land to grazing. ”

"Offend me Daming, not to mention whether Sun has the ability and courage to call Sun now, even if he has, he will either continue to rely on the right wing and attack Xuanda. Either buy the three of you again and attack from Daning, Jibei, and Liaodong. ”

"The official thinks that he will not dare to rely on the right wing anymore. If you want to buy you out, then you don't have to talk about the opening of the market. Therefore, the first thing that Duoyan Sanbu wants to clarify his attitude to Daming is whether he wants to help Meng Yuan like last year. Only if you don't help, can there be a mutual market. ”

Liu Long listened quietly, this is what His Majesty said, first cut the convenient space on the surface of Duoyan Sanbu as a wall grass. The Ming no longer accepted their hypothetical submission, and first turned the tributes they could rely on in the past into something directly tied to their position.

Next, it's time for them to think about the pros and cons.

Yan Song only gave them a little time to digest these, and then laughed and said: "Since it is a mutual market, it is natural that not only will the three of you benefit, but also the Ming Dynasty." This time, where to open the market, how to trade with each other, what goods to trade, and how much to trade, these can be discussed in detail later. But in the general direction, the great benefit that the Ming Dynasty wants to get is not only the sincere submission of the three of you from now on, but also to save you from the attack of the left wing of Meng Yuan, so that the Meng Yuan Khan Court can focus on the right wing. ”

He couldn't sit still when he said this, and he asked awe-inspiringly, "Why did the Khan Court attack us?" ”

Yan Song chuckled: "How long will it be before you call Sun to grow up?" For such a long time, what kind of prestige will Alta, who can fight well, establish in the grassland? My Daming has won great victories year after year, and in the future, whether it is me answering or calling Sun, it will be difficult for them to take advantage of Daming. In that case, what else can you do but go around the steppe to conquer? I promised to levy, but I was afraid that the Khan Court would have to temporarily avoid its front and give up some western pastures. Where can they find a new pasture? It's not just a fertile land from Daning all the way to northern Liaoning. ”

Da Ha was silent, he had to admit that the current grassland situation mentioned by the Shangshu of the Ming Rite Department was true; It is also very possible to change the direction of change later.

Yan Song stopped, glanced at Liu Long, and then slowly drank tea.

These analyses are indeed one of the possible directions. But the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty themselves are not very convinced of this. Although there was Jiajing's five-year victory in Shuozhou, and then Jiajing's six-year battle against Bodi's might, I replied that after this battle, it was a lot stronger. Who dares to say that I will not be able to get benefits from Da Ming in the future?

But the emperor's later words made them approve: even if I could occasionally curry favor with Da Ming later, I was the lord of the Tatar side after all. The place where he settled down was in the grassland. He also has the blood of the Golden Family, the ambition of Dayan Khan, and he is not lacking in bravery. Therefore, Alta will expand in the steppe on the basis of the Tumut Department and the right wing, which will definitely force the left wing and the Khan court to find another way, or even move eastward.

What Zhu Houxi said is the truth. Now that Bodie died a little earlier, the details have changed, but the chances facing me will only be better. The Khan's court was only afraid that it would move eastward earlier, and the three tribes of Duoyan were only afraid that they would be annexed by the Chahar, Khalkha, and Horqin tribes earlier.

"Lord Yan, this is alarmist...... "After thinking for a while, he could only make a haha first.

"Isn't it alarmist, your envoy can go to the letter Lingzun." Yan Song just smiled, "After all, Duoyan Sanwei had a time of harmony with Da Ming, and Your Majesty can't bear to face the attack on the left and right flanks of the Khan Court alone. This time, His Majesty allowed the market to open, and it was the last time to try again, to see if you have the foresight, and to see that the three departments of Duoyan are backed by the Ming Dynasty and will live better under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Yan Song pointed to a stack of papers on the table, Liu Long stood up, walked over and picked it up and handed it to Daha.

"First of all, just buy and sell. Daming can sell to the three of you, what goods can be, and what is the price to exchange for the corresponding number of goods, it's here. How much the three of you can grow and get richer because of this, and how to avoid trouble between the left and right wings depends on your choice. Your Majesty swallows the whole sea, and is not afraid that after you grow stronger, you will become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Da Ha quickly began to read, this time it is not a simple word, he knows a lot.

Looking at it in a hurry, Da Ha was not in a good mood: the price was clearly marked, and many Ming goods, including silk cloth, salt, and tea, were replaced by things on the grassland, which was much worse than the benefits that could be obtained by the previous tribute, although it was not without earning.

Then he saw a few things: an iron pot, an iron hoe......

Under the shock of his heart, Daha looked up at Yan Song: "Iron tools are also in the mutual market?" ”

"Yes." Yan Song said very simply, "Didn't the official say it? Your Majesty wants to see if you have the foresight, knowing that the benefits of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty will outweigh the disadvantages, and Your Majesty is not afraid that you will become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty after you grow stronger, and even do not fear that you will resell iron weapons to the left and right wings of the Khan Court to strengthen them. Of course, as long as you can come up with the corresponding goods according to the price. ”

Daha recalled in his heart the goods they listed for the three Duoyan tribes: horses, furs, cattle and sheep, herbs, grain, coal and stone, iron and stone......

Grain?

The price of grain seems to be higher...... As long as Duoyan Sanbu can take out the rice and wheat, he can exchange for more things......

But how can there be so many people who can grow crops in the three parts of Duoyan?

How they faced such a general direction and how to bargain later, Yan Song didn't care.

His work was over, so he smiled and asked, "Do you still have doubts?" The official is busy with official business, while the official is still here, you should quickly ask for clarification, and then report back to the ministries and let your fathers have ideas. Oh yes, and one more point. ”

Yan Song's face turned pale: "If the mutual market is negotiated, and the three departments will then go back to Koubian, then it will stop immediately and the market will not be opened." His Majesty has a message for your envoy to tell Hua Dang, and the official also has a sentence: Hua Dang is already very old, he might as well think about it for his children and grandchildren, and whether he will be able to resist the two-sided attack of Khan Court and my Ming Dynasty in the future! ”

Daha's face changed and he was silent.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang Lun knelt on the ground, and his face changed several times.

"It's normal to make mistakes, and these businesses are new to you." Zhu Houxi said lightly, "This practical study and dialectics, some of you don't have that talent, some don't have that patience, in short, you don't have the heart to think about it or two, I will teach you again." ”

“…… Listen to the oracle. ”

"If you don't do it well this time, think about what to do next time to avoid this mistake. Maybe you will make a mistake next time, so keep thinking. Slowly, you will always get on the right path. Zhu Houxi said, "It's a good thing to be willing to ponder." It's also good to think about making money. But since some people have gone too far this time, and you are the director general of the Assets Bureau, how do you think you should correct it? ”

"Minister...... The ministers will help the rest of the horses to check the accounts, punish those who are wrong, and deal with those who are guilty! ”

Zhu Houxi shook his head: "This is a minutiae. ”

Zhang Lun didn't know what to do now, and looked up at the emperor in fear.

"You're the Director-General, not the Chief Fritters. This side turns a blind eye, and it is difficult to shirk the convenience there, and the lords really think that I am using these enterprises to help them collect money. Zhu Houxi pointed to his head, "It's a matter of thought." You say, I am willing to give an official salary in an enterprise in addition to their title, and it is a little higher than the same official in the imperial court, for what? ”

“…… The minister remembered that it was His Majesty who said that he was responsible for promoting technological progress, stabilizing key industries, and prospering the commerce of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Where is the technological progress? Good craftsmen are hidden in workshops that help them make money. Is the key industry stable? Last year, at the time of the national war, I still had to send Tang Shunzhi to raise food! How did Daming commerce prosper? The family of the lord made a lot of money, the company still lost money after paying so many taxes, and the private businessmen were exploited by you? ”

“…… The minister is guilty! ”

Zhu Houxi asked him: "Then how to correct it?" ”

"Minister...... The minister ...... "Zhang Lun's mood is chaotic, even if he is not chaotic, he can't think clearly." Investigation and punishment are only trivial, so what is the first thing?

Zhu Houxi looked at Yu Chengye.

“…… The minister suggested that the British government should summon all the presidents of all the enterprises and the families of the lords who served in dangerous positions to Beijing, and then understand the hadith with their hearts, and make clear the purpose of the enterprises set up by His Majesty. ”

"Yu Pony is right!" Zhang Lun agreed, "The minister will call them to a meeting and open their understanding!" ”

Yu Chengye also said: "The ministers and Huang Gonggong sent the ministers who are familiar with the accounting law to check the accounts of each family. Where there is fraud, it should be corrected; The evaded tax should be recovered; Whoever breaks the law shall be punished as such. ”

Zhu Houxi sighed: "When the meeting was held at the beginning of last year, when the meeting was held at the beginning of this year, I said that I told you to look ahead, but as a result, there are still so many people looking at the money. But what I said about achieving success is meritorious, and the hereditary status is not demoted, or even the rank is even further, it is determined by these. The result? Zheng Kui has been promoted to the county lord, and few of you think about making meritorious contributions in these aspects. ”

“…… I am ashamed to trust Your Majesty! Zhang Lun can only say frantically now, "The minister must change his mind and ......"

"Then you have to do it, don't say I didn't give you another chance." Zhu Houxi stared at him, "After so many relatives, so many people who came in through various ways, the atmosphere is not right, you will never be able to do what I hoped." In this round of clearance, what should be done should be done, and what should be done should be made virtuous. Whoever can do the things I have given me will be used. ”

"The minister will definitely do it!" Zhang Lun breathed a sigh of relief, His Majesty was not going to deal with him directly, but asked him to deal with other people who had done better.

"I don't allow each family to open another company to make some money, but as long as they are upright, will they make less money? If you don't squeeze the oil and water cleanly, you won't be rich? I don't think that my descendants can be demoted at all, so I think that I still have a title to make a big profit, do you have a little foresight? ”

"You Zhang Lun and Meng Zhenxin are sitting in this position, since you can no longer go into battle like Guo Xun to fight, are you going to see the King of Hejian and the King of Dingxing County in a hundred years, you can only say that there is only a Hou position behind your family? If this continues, the position will become the uncle, will Zhang Zhonglie's face still be faced? ”

Zhang Lun's tears came out: "I am ashamed to ...... my ancestors and ancestors"

"Craftsmen can be promoted to county lords because of their merits, am I just bent on cutting your lords? Give you a chance, one by one, I won't cut you, everyone in the world will poke the backbone of your unscrupulous descendants! ”

Zhang Lun bent down and knelt on the ground to cry, although he was mentally prepared, he was scolded so badly.

"It's been three years. In another three years, if so many companies under the Assets Bureau have not changed, you will let Xian. Zhu Houxi said coldly, "Go back and teach your son Zhang Rong a good lesson, I don't dare to get on the horse to make meritorious contributions, but I like to pedal a bicycle and fall to the door of the Huitong Pavilion, which makes the Duoyan delegation see a big joke!" ”

"Command! When the minister returns, he will definitely teach him a good lesson......"

"Stand down."

Zhu Houxi waved his hand and left Yu Chengye behind.

"In addition to checking the accounts, let Lu Bing transfer the manpower of the special service teams in various provinces to secretly investigate one thing."

Zhu Houxi's eyes flashed with coldness: "In the process of checking out the sale of Zhangtian and Guantian, the Xun Qi and the clan borrowed the name of grain storage and partnership with wealthy businessmen, how many fields were bought and how many people were hired. Running around and around, how did they make a fortune in various disaster-stricken places? ”

Yu Chengye received the order, and then hesitated for a moment before asking: "Your Majesty, if Liaodong opens the market, and you want these many enterprises not to be enemies and make a fortune, will the minister still send people to search for talents in various places and invite them to serve in Liaodong in various enterprises?" ”

Zhu Houxi looked at him appreciatively.

This is the difference, Yu Chengye, who was born as a jinshi, has a rank too much higher than those lords, and he has already thought that this matter is related to the grand strategy of the northern realm.

"Now is different from the past, you can recommend talents and make contributions to business."
