"Dad, this matter is not in a hurry." Zhu Su said with a smile. "Brother Mu Ying is presiding over the overall situation of the Japanese Kingdom, and General Lan Yu is on the way back to unify the army."

"When the army returns, it's not too late to reward you for your deeds. I'm coming back this time because I have another priority. ”

"Oh?" Lao Zhu became interested and turned his face around. "What's the priority?"

"Issuing money." Zhu Su said.

Now that the Sado Gold Mountain is already in hand, and the Iwami Silver Mountain is also on the way to survey, the gold and silver reserves of the Ming Dynasty are no longer safe. The most important thing now is to immediately build a relevant financial system to digest and use this hard-won "windfall".

After all, the reserves of Sado Gold Mountain and Iwami Silver Mountain are huge, and if these gold and silver are directly put into the market, it will inevitably cause the collapse of the already fragile Ming economic system. Only by expediting the establishment of the "Royal Bank", using gold and silver as reserves, and issuing Daming treasure banknotes, can we make the greatest use of this capital and revitalize the entire Daming market.

"In addition, how to control and swallow the Japanese kingdom also depends on this 'Ming treasure banknote'." Zhu Su said.

At this time, several people had already moved back to the Jinshen Palace, and the envoys and officials who had just celebrated the Wanshou Festival had also left the palace. Only Zhu Su, Liu Bowen and a few other people closely related to the New Deal were left to discuss matters in private.

What does Your Highness mean by this? Isn't the Wa Kingdom already subservient? How is the control of the Wa Kingdom related to treasure money? Song Lian wondered.

Including Lao Zhu, everyone was also puzzled. Zhu Su explained: "Although the Wa King has actually been controlled by us, our Ming armies have also set up many concessions in the Wa State......

"But in today's Wa Kingdom, there are still many daimyo princes sitting on strong troops, although they are nominally subordinated to the Hou Guishan Wa King and my Ming Yingzhou Xuanwei Division, but if there is a recurrence in the future, no one knows, whether someone will rise up and drive my Ming forces out of the Wa Kingdom."

Everyone was silent, and all the people present were well-educated, so they naturally knew the old things in the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the ancestors opened up the territory and successfully established Beiting, Anxi and other capitals in the Western Regions. This coincides with today's Ming Dynasty's "pioneering and enterprising" policy.

If everything goes according to plan, after tens of hundreds of years, this place should be a territory illuminated by Chinese civilization, and the family background of China should be a little thicker.

However, it backfired, Xuanzong had no way in his later years, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the northwest border was shattered. Tubo took the opportunity to capture Chang'an, and the Western Regions severed contact with the Tang Dynasty and became an enclave. Even though the Tang army of Anxi and Beiting Protectorate fought bravely, Anxi Dadu Protector Guo Xin held on to Anxi for 42 years, and the soldiers under his command were all dying.

Thousands of miles are lonely, the army is tired and the people are tired, and they are crying blood and defending to the death.

In the end, it was not able to prevent the land from being swallowed by the barbarians again. It should have been another rich place in the Western Regions of China, but today, only barbarians are left everywhere, and a wisp of loyalty from the soldiers of the Tang Army.

The minions of the Wa Kingdom still exist, and the Ming Dynasty can garrison the army for a while, but it cannot guarantee that the garrison will last forever. And the Wa Kingdom is far away from the sea, and it is almost impossible to say that it is an enclave. If something happened to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army on the island was finally wiped out like the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate, wouldn't it be a failure?

It is difficult to expand the soil, and it is even more difficult to defend the soil. Not to mention that it is necessary to completely transform the barbarian land into the land of China. How it should be transformed really needs to be carefully considered.

"How to treat it, what do you think?" Old Zhu Dao.

"It's not a new idea. Nothing more than people. As long as the Wa Kingdom ...... Ahem, as long as the number of Ming people in Yingzhou exceeds that of the Japanese people, then Yingzhou will naturally become the territory of China. ”

"It just so happens that now my Chinese Dingkou is withered, and there are still countless fertile fields in the north that are uncultivated. Therefore, Erchen thought...... Move the people of Yingzhou and enrich China. ”

"No." Ru Taisu spoke. "Although His Highness's idea is right, it is extremely difficult to implement. His Royal Highness Fang Cai also said that there are still vain princes of the Wa Kingdom in Yingzhou. These people are subservient to the power of my Ming army, and because the king of the Japanese has been mastered by my Ming Dynasty, there is no righteousness, so they have to obey. ”

"It's not so much domination as bondage."

"But if it is forcibly moved...... It is tantamount to blatantly plucking its wings. I'm afraid that in an instant, these daimyo will regard us as mortal enemies. I, the Ming Dynasty, must invest more troops to pacify Yingzhou...... In that case, it will be a waste of money and will be of no benefit. ”

"If you move to Dingkou, you will naturally be opposed by the daimyos. But it has been restrained, and it is by no means a long-term solution. Zhu Su said. That's why I said that we need to get the bank out of money as soon as possible...... The reason why this is so is that there are two considerations, one is to stimulate the commercial development of my Daming Dynasty and quickly enrich the treasury of my Daming Dynasty. ”

"Both, let's use the money collected from the gold and silver mountains of the Japanese kingdom to buy all the Japanese people......"

"Buy...... Bought it? Ru Taisu froze, everyone froze.

This...... How to say this, whimsical? Still is......

I really didn't think of it......

"Dad, my lords, you have never been to the Wa Kingdom, but if you go, you will know that the land of the Wa Kingdom is really barren." Zhu Su said. "The land is poor, the mountains and rivers are bad, and the arable land is scarce. Although the Japanese people learned the method of cultivation from our Huaxia, how to cultivate intensively, the grain produced every year is often only enough for the Japanese people to barely make a living. ”

"Not to mention that the infighting in the Japanese court is extremely serious, and the small country of projectiles has actually divided dozens or hundreds of daimyos...... These daimyo had attacked each other before they had nothing to do, and the people they recruited to fight each other for them were all peasant families. ”

"It is not an exaggeration to say that the people of the Japanese country are living in dire straits. If there is a chance to get out of the sea of suffering, they will be very willing. ”

"Oh?" Lao Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't think that this son had suddenly become a woman's kindness, and the people of the Ming Dynasty had not yet come to pity, so he took pity on those irrelevant people of the Japanese country. "So, do you want to use this as a gimmick to coax the people of the Japanese Kingdom to come to the Ming Dynasty? Have you figured out what those barbarians will do when they come? ”

"What to do...... Naturally, it was a slave. Zhu Su smiled. The Japanese also cultivated the land, and it was most suitable to become a serf after coaxing. ”

"The uncultivated wasteland and wasteland in the north just don't bother to move the people, and they are directly classified as the land of my Ming court."

"The Ming Dynasty came forward to set up many agricultural cooperatives, driving these Japanese serfs to reclaim land everywhere."

"They can often only eat one meal on weekdays in the Wa Kingdom, but when it comes to my Ming Dynasty, if there is a tile to cover their heads and two meals of gruel a day, it is enough for them to be grateful to Dade and rush to sell themselves to the Ming Dynasty to make a living."

"With little cost and knowledge of farming, there is no more suitable candidate for serfs than them. These Japanese peasants were used to being oppressed by the daimyo in the past, and they did not know how to resist. Those daimyo simply regarded them as livestock, and as long as they had money, those Japanese daimyo themselves were very likely to take the initiative to sell these Japanese to us. ”

"If we can buy millions of Japanese people, I will be able to produce more than millions of stones or even more than 10 million stones of grain every year. And the Japanese moved to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people went back and forth to the Ming concession to do business and settle down, decades later, the Ming people were more than the Japanese people, then Yingzhou was my Ming territory. ”
