Chapter 236: Mao Dun, do you want a pot?

Ying Zheng was even happier when he learned about it, and he was also thinking about it, but because Jiang Bai was more interested in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, he didn't say much.

Now, Jiang Bai himself is already thinking about these issues, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Think about how we can get a lot of ploughing cattle and pack horses from the grasslands." Yingzheng tested Fusu.

Fusu immediately said: "Beat him!" ”

"It's my son's temper, but this is not the way to govern the country, go to Taifu and ask, as expected, what commodities should Taifu use to trade with Maodun." Ying Zhengdao.

When Fusu went back to ask, he only said the method he wanted to obtain by means of war.

Jiang Bai was pinching Zhao Ji's legs, and when he saw that Fu Su was sincerely asking for advice, he said: "The emperor's vision must also see the benefits of war, but this is far from enough." ”

"Yes, what my father meant, we still have to use the way of trading," Fusu said, "but there are only a few of us Central Plains people who can trade with the grassland peoples, and they can't be traded." ”

"That's you stupid!" Zhao Ji scolded, "You only thought that the Huns might cast weapons after buying the iron pot, didn't you think that our weapons would be updated, stronger than their armor, sharper than their swords, and longer than their bows and crossbows?" Don't just think about imprisoning others, if you don't move forward, you will never be able to get rid of the fate and pattern of being beaten. ”

Upgrade?

But that would also allow the Huns to obtain a large number of iron tools.

"Can't they get it if you don't sell it to them?" Jiang Bai reproached, "Didn't the remnants of the Six Kingdoms sell a large amount of iron to the Huns?" They sell for a greater value and a higher price, and instead of letting them sell secretly, we should exchange what we don't look down on for what we need at a low price. ”

"And if their weapons are concentrated to a certain extent, they will definitely come to fight, and we have a greater reason to use new weapons to clear the grassland, so that the name is justified, and we can also force the poor grassland and Mao Dun to stand on the opposite side, and we can also win the hearts and minds of the grassland people." Zhao Ji taught, "When a general begins to think about how to kill the enemy to the greatest extent, we should praise it with the greatest sincerity." But an emperor only thinks about how to kill the enemy to the maximum, then it is not an excellent emperor, the wisdom of the emperor is not only to destroy the enemy, but also to weaken the enemy, strengthen himself, and turn the enemy into his own people. ”

Fusu bowed his head and thanked him.

This is the way to be a wise monarch or even a holy monarch.

went to see Yingzheng again, and Fusu was recognized and praised by Yingzheng.

"The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager taught you the true Tao, not the art taught to you by those literati. As an emperor, you can't understand the magic of art, but if you only know how to control talents, people can't help but deviate from you or even stand on the opposite side. Only by using the avenue to restrain human nature can talents contribute their wisdom and strength to you. Ying Zheng instructed, "Go and transfer a batch of iron kettles, so that the transport troops can be quickly sent to the Great Wall Corps, Meng Tian knows how to do business with the Huns." ”

"Father, why can't you do business with King Youxian?" Fusu drew inferences from one suggestion.

Ying Zheng was delighted: "Oh? Elaborate! ”

Fusu thought that it was completely possible to make contact with the Youxian Wang's department, and trade a batch of horses with the Huns with a pig iron kettle that could not be regarded as a pot at all, and the Youxian King could not refuse such a good condition under the premise that Daqin did not want horses.

In addition, it is also possible to trade with the Huns with a part of the extra grain produced by Great Qin.

"The Xiongnu are divided into several large tribes, among which there are hundreds of small tribes scattered in the grassland, we can drink these small tribes to trade, once they live a good life, the big tribes will inevitably rob, which will also intensify the contradictions within the grassland." Fusu said, "If Mao Dun knew about it, he would definitely think of trading with us directly, so that he could not only reduce his losses, but also control the resources in his own hands." And we only need to reduce the support to the tribes, and he must give us better terms of trade, so that the initiative is in our hands. ”

Ying Zheng was overjoyed, and immediately asked Fusu to do it with Shaofu.

This incident aroused opposition and dissatisfaction from Yu Ziqi.

"If we sell the iron pot to the steppe people, they will make more weapons, but if we use it to make a new type of iron pot and sell it to them, we will use fewer resources, and the value of the iron pot will be higher." Yu Ziqi immediately asked to see Fusu and refuted in front of Fusu.

Fusu is puzzled, the value is higher, isn't the processing procedure more troublesome?

"Childe, the processing procedure is more troublesome, that is to train our craftsmen, why dislike it? Wouldn't it be good to take advantage of such a good opportunity to strengthen my Great Qin's blacksmith skills? Yu Ziqi said, "In addition, I tried to refine mature iron in an iron kettle, and of course those few catties of iron can be used by the Huns in large quantities to make weapons, however, because it is wrought iron, and the Huns have extremely poor smelting technology, it is difficult for them to carry out secondary mature smelting, and their weapons can only stop at the hardness and flexibility of the iron pot, isn't this a good thing?" ”

"In addition, the iron pot was sold to the grassland people, and Mao Dun wanted to take it away to build weapons, what should the grassland people do? They had to ask us to buy it again, and when we sold it to them again, it wouldn't be the price it is today. "The cost of living of the Huns is gradually increasing, and our army maintains an advantage over them, and when they repeatedly suffer defeats, they will resent the nobles of the steppe." In the long run, this helped us to sow discord among them, and we encouraged the peasants to rise up against the incorrect demands of the government, so why couldn't the poor of the Huns rise up against the oppression of the aristocracy? ”

Fusu was ecstatic, this time he had learned a little bit of real skills.

Li Gong, who he didn't care much about, actually had such deep insights and vision, which was too unexpected for him.

So how about letting Yu Ziqi take charge of this?

"I won't go, if I don't hurry up and practice, I'll be beaten to death by that little woman." Yu Ziqi scolded.

Fusu Waner.

So who's going to be looking for?

"Stupid!" When he went to find Jiang Bai, Fusu was scolded, and Jiang Bai asked, "Do you remember that there is a Wu clan?" ”

Fusu was at a loss.

Jiang Bai is strange, the current Wu clan shouldn't still be a blank piece of paper.

The court didn't know about this person?

"Husband, do you mean, Wu Shi Lu of Anding County?" Zhao Ji put away her long legs and said in surprise, "This is a strange woman who is no less than Bajun Huaiqing, I only heard that it is not enough to describe the country and the city, and the wealth is actually described by a valley, is there really such a strange person?" ”

Huaiqing?

Ba Qing?

Or is it called Widow Qing?

Also, is Wu Shilu a woman?

Jiang Bai remembered that there were such two people in "Looking for Love", but the widow Qing was indeed a woman, and Wu Shilu was not a middle-aged uncle?
