Chapter 421: Strategy? Blackmail?
Zhu Gui couldn't help but sigh: "Sir, you are not only incomparably intelligent, but even the means of making money are so admirable. ”
"If you can become the first assistant of my Ming cabinet, I am afraid that my Ming Dynasty will enter a prosperous situation without worrying about money and food, and it is even more ancient."
Although it was the first time to listen to the class, Zhu Gui had already fallen under Lin Che's amazing talent.
In his opinion, if Lin Che is in charge of the affairs of the court.
Even if the current prime minister, plus the six Shangshu combined, I am afraid that he does not have his own husband, and he can do it well alone.
Lin Che didn't know that Zhu Gui was telling the truth, and thought that the cheap students were patting his ass.
Not only did he laugh: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister? Not interested! I want to live a leisurely life now. ”
"As for the means to make money, where is this? If you really want to make a fortune by helping the order, you only need to allow those gentry to bring their attendants. ”
"When the time comes, both horses and armor will be sold several times."
Although Zhu Gui had heard Zhu Fan say before, Lin Che didn't care about life and death, wealth and wealth.
But when he really heard this, he was still shocked.
Consciously, there are really people in the world who don't care about power, and even put life and death out of the way.
Zhu Gui looked at Lin Che with admiration and said, "Sir, there are not many conceited people in the world who are conceited and talented, and they boast about themselves all day long. ”
"I think that only by letting him be in charge of the government, the Ming Dynasty will be able to enter the prosperous era of three generations of rule in an instant."
"And it's ridiculous that they don't even have the ability of Mr., one in ten thousand, but dare to say such unashamed words."
How many times have Lin Che heard Zhu Fan say something like this.
So he didn't think much about it, just smiled lightly: "People think differently. ”
"Some people like money, some people like to pursue power, some people want to restore the prosperity of antiquity, these are all very normal thoughts."
"As for whether they can do it, it's a matter of ability, as long as they do it with their hearts, it has nothing to do with being ridiculous."
In Lin Che's view, life is not bragging in the world, or what is the meaning.
In particular, he now wants to return to the afterlife, but he can't, and he is depressed.
If you don't follow a few cheap apprentices, blow the sky.
Then he would have died of boredom.
However, when these words fell on Zhu Gui's ears, he admired his husband's generosity more and more.
I even think that those who talk rhetorically want to do things with good intentions.
Zhu Gui originally wanted to ask why Lin Che was bent on dying instead of being an official.
But he suddenly thought of Zhu Fan's advice, and asking about this matter might arouse the suspicion of his own husband.
He could only cough and change the subject: "Sir, the problem of armor is solved, so what should the horses do?" ”
"Now most of my horse breeding land in Daming has become farmland, and only nine sides are left to produce war horses."
"But Jiubian still has to prepare horses for his cavalry, I'm afraid there are no extra war horses that can be sold to the imperial court."
Originally, if according to Lin Che, if he sold helmet cuirass, ordinary horses could support the gentry's children on a long march, and even participate in the task of charging into battle.
But Lin Che proposed that he should use a trap plate armor to cut the leeks of the gentry's children, and by the way, he made up a heavy cavalry.
The imperial court had to provide them with war horses that could really carry the weight of the march.
After all, ordinary horses, but knights who can't carry a full set of plate armor to charge the enemy.
"There are more places to keep horses."
Lin Che couldn't help but smile in the face of Zhu Gui's worries: "Take my good son Goryeo of the Ming Dynasty as an example, their Jeju Island is a good horse farm. ”
"As long as you go up and transport a few thousand piliang horses, it only takes two or three years, and it is enough to form a cavalry force of 10,000 people."
"As for the lack of horses on the nine sides, it is better to solve it, just buy it directly from Beiyuan."
Due to the good geographical location of Jeju Island, it is extremely easy to raise good horses on this island.
And because of the isolation, there is no need to worry that good horses will breed because of exotic wild horses.
So the longer they are raised, the purer the pedigree of these good horses.
The better the quality of the horse.
As for the horse breeding land on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Che didn't bother to mention it.
Because of the places where these good horses were produced, after the Ming God of War became a foreign student, it was gradually abandoned.
So much so that the Ming Dynasty was originally able to be a self-sufficient war horse.
In the middle and late periods, the imperial court had to spend money to buy from the Mongols.
And wait until the army of the nine sides received the war horses sent by the imperial court.
As soon as they could, they would definitely ride good horses and pursue the Mongol tribes that had been eyeing them for a long time.
This kind of situation of buying the war horses of the Mongols and then going to the Great Mongols can be described as very black humor.
It's just that Zhu Gui doesn't know the situation in the later generations of the Ming Dynasty.
He hadn't heard of Jeju Island either, so he just asked in surprise: "Sir, the Northern Yuan and I, the Ming Dynasty, are enemies who share the same sky, how can they sell war horses to us?" ”
Lin Che smiled faintly and did not directly answer Zhu Gui's question.
Instead, he asked rhetorically: "You should know that now the Northern Yuan Mongolia has gradually divided, and the matter of the two tribes of Chenvarat and Tatar has been initially divided, right?" ”
Zhu Gui didn't know why Lin Che suddenly mentioned this.
However, as a descendant of the Ming royal family, he naturally knows who the leader of the enemy is.
hurriedly replied: "Sir, I heard that the Northern Yuan Dynasty was divided because of the struggle for power and profit, and they all thought that they were Mongolian orthodox. ”
"I also know that the Varat and the Tatars today are very discordant and even hostile to each other."
Carrying Zhu Gui in a somewhat ostentatious tone, he said the situation of Beiyuan.
Lin Che rubbed his head encouragingly: "Since you know, the two of them are not compatible now." ”
"Then we can carry out a strategic blackmail according to the contradictions between them."
Although Zhu Gui has heard a lot of unheard of new words in Lin Che's mouth.
But strategy and blackmail, these two phrases go together.
For a while, he really didn't think of anything to mean it.
I could only ask Lin Che for advice: "Sir, please forgive the student for being stupid, and please explain in detail what strategic blackmail means?" ”
Lin Che, who was planning to rest after the meal just now, let out a long yawn.
Then he said: "Strategic blackmail is very simple, it is to scare the Tatars, saying that the floodgates are going to unite with Vara to destroy him. ”
"Then tell Warat that we are going to unite with the Tartars to destroy them."
"If you want to follow Daming to beat people, it's okay not to be beaten, but you have to sell a good war horse to us."
"Otherwise, whoever sells less, or the quality is not good, we will beat him."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gui's brain was a little down.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others in the secret room were also stunned by Lin Che's strategic blackmail.
