Looking at the prince who was almost a little crazy, Wang Huaien hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Lord Wang! Pay attention to the image! Image! ”

Zhao Jun, who was still laughing arrogantly just now, suddenly stopped laughing, coughed twice and looked left and right: "Ahem, there is no one around, right?" ”

Wang Huaien immediately said: "Don't worry, there is no one else around." ”

"That's good, that's good......"

Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, he just knew the appearance of the middle two just now, there was no need for others to see it, otherwise he would be killed.

After relieving the embarrassment a little, Zhao Jun asked Wang Huaien again: "By the way, is there any movement over there in Liaoyun Pass?" ”

Wang Huaien immediately replied: "Yes!

Since three days ago, the entire Liaoyun Pass has been closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, which is said to be an order from above, in order to prevent spies from passing on the information of the pass.

That's why I did it. ”

Zhao Jun said clearly: "It should be my cheap father who made adjustments to the defense of the pass after receiving the news, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from sending the information out again, this time the entire Liaoyun Pass was sealed."

By the way, have we bought enough tea bricks? ”

Halfway through speaking, Zhao Jun remembered something again, so he asked.

Wang Huaien hurriedly nodded and said, "In case you can rest assured, our tea bricks have purchased nearly 20 million catties, and the current shortage of war horses in the Yunzhou County Army has been fully filled, and the rest of us have begun to trade ordinary horses with those tribes." ”

Those tribes are also very happy about this, because if we only exchange war horses, they will not have too many war horses in their hands, and they can only trade them.

And when trading ordinary horses, the number in their hands will be considerable.

So the acceptance is very fast, and correspondingly, for ordinary horses, the price we give is half of that of war horses. ”

Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction: "It's good if the gap is filled, has it all been delivered to the army?" ”

"Totally delivered!"

"That's good!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Jun suddenly asked again: "Are they interested in our other materials besides tea bricks?" ”

Wang Huaien was a little surprised and said, "What do you mean, Lord Wang?" ”

Zhao Jun looked at the north and said slowly: "Wang Banban, we are destined to fight this battle with the Tatars, and we have to fight beautifully, so that the Tatars can see our strength clearly."

But this king did not fight them with the intention of weakening the Tatars, but only to let them know that we are not to be messed with! ”

Wang Huaien was still a little puzzled and asked, "Then what kind of result do you want to get, Lord Wang?" ”

Zhao Jun said coldly: "Wang Banban, have you heard of the idiom of raising Kou self-respect?" ”

Wang Huaien was shocked, as a eunuch who could be sent to serve the vassal king, he was not illiterate, but those who had studied in the inner chamber naturally knew the meaning of this idiom.

It's just that he doesn't understand why the prince wants to say this idiom at this time.

"Could it be that the prince wants to ......"

Wang Huaien guessed.

Zhao Jun nodded: "That's right, this king just wants to play with one hand to raise his own self-respect."

Now the situation in our Yunzhou County is likely to have been exposed.

Then the king must find a way to make the father of this king less troublesome for us, or dare not touch us easily.

And the best way to do this is to raise your own respect.

We have to fight the Tatars, but we can't beat them too badly, and we must leave them with some vitality to threaten the borders of the Great Song Dynasty.

Only in this way can the Great Song Dynasty, which was already overstretched with troops, be able to tolerate us entrenched in Yunzhou County.

Unable to muster their troops, they can only rely on us to hold this northeastern frontier.

Otherwise, relying on the 10,000 people in their Liaoyun Pass, plus there are internal ghosts mixed in, if they want to defend the northeast border pass, it is simply impossible! ”

Zhao Jun paused. Then he looked to the north and said, "Although this king is not afraid that he will send troops to attack, it would be a good thing if he could reduce the trouble a little."

Everyone is safe, and I help the court block the northeast.

They don't want to trouble the king, it's the best of both worlds. ”

Wang Huaien was a little puzzled and said, "Your Highness, can't you tell Your Majesty directly?"

Why do you have to take the road of self-respect? ”

Zhao Jun sneered:

"Do you think it's useful? Even if my cheap father agreed, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree.

They would not tolerate an uncontrolled vassal king at the helm of an army of 300,000.

Only by forcing them with realistic helplessness and forcing them to do so can they allow such a thing to happen.

Wang companion, today this king will teach you a good one.

Don't look at the high-sounding grandiose words of the ministers in the court, as if they are all upright gentlemen.

But they do no less dirty things in the dark than others, and what they say is no different from fart.

They say that any promise given is all fart as long as it is not written in black and white, as long as there is no real action to keep up!

Just don't take it seriously!

The officials who can become the officials of our Great Song Dynasty are all smart people, and smart people have a particularly significant characteristic.

That is, you will never allow anything that is not under your control.

Once there is, unless they really can't help it, they will use all means to solve this matter, otherwise they will not be at ease eating! ”

Wang Huaien was silent, and had to admit that what his prince said was indeed right.

Although he was only an internal servant, he had read books, read history, and knew the ways of those wise people in history.

As the prince said, they would not tolerate the appearance of a threat that was not under their control.

They can only use reality to force them to compromise, and they will accept it, otherwise they will make a lot of moths, which will make people unguardable.

Zhao Jun smiled when he saw that he understood, and then said:

"So this time, the strategic goal of our Yunzhou County is to defeat the Tatar army, so that they can understand that they are not our opponents, and then we can let them go back."

"Then the king thought again, it's a bit of a loss to let them go like this, so the king decided to open a mutual market with them!"

"Mutual market?"

Wang Huaien was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of this word.

Zhao Jun explained that it is to set up a place to trade items with them, except for the embargoed materials, everything else can be traded in the mutual market.

Of course, since we are the winning side, there must be an advantage, the price of the goods must be set by us, and they must accept this price!

This is what they should do as the vanquished side.

Although our Yunzhou County now has three counties of body poison and there is no shortage of food, millions of people can't just eat food, so this king wants to use this mutual market to supplement the source of meat for Yunzhou County.

And the mutual market is also good for those Tatars, they can get a lot of things that they couldn't get before, and through the mutual market, the king can gradually control these Tatars, which can be said to be a good thing in one fell swoop! ”

"Can the mutual market still control the Tatars?" Wang Huaien was a little unconvinced, but Zhao Jun only showed a slight smile.

Sometimes the way to control a power is more than just force.

This is the advantage that a modern person has over these feudal people.

This is the power of insight and vision!
