"Fengxue, now you're satisfied."

"Hu Weiyong sacrifices to the sky, and his mana is boundless."

Zhu Biao pushed the door in, looked at Xiao Han and said with resentment.

Tong Zhangshun saw Zhu Biao's arrival, and immediately retreated.

"Ahem!"

"Aren't I also trying to let you catch up with our "Daming Economics" as soon as possible?"

"Otherwise, I will be dragged by my father and mother to prepare for the wedding, and this book will have to be thrown aside."

Xiao Han coughed dryly and said twice.

"We have large-scale land reclamation and relocation of displaced people in Lingnan, and the countries in the south have already responded."

"There is news from Jinyiwei in the south that there are many bandits from the Lancang Kingdom of Yue who have infiltrated southern Xinjiang and Lingnan."

"We can't say for sure at the moment whether this is the result of the dictation of those countries, but I think it is certain that they acquiesced in these people, even if they did not arrange them."

"What do you think about this?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"You're right, even if it wasn't instructed by them, it must have been tacitly agreed to exist."

"After all, our Ming Dynasty has made a lot of moves in the south recently, not only eliminating King Liang and Duan, but also opening up wasteland and relocating displaced people in Lingnan on a large scale, if the southern countries don't react at all, it is abnormal."

"Especially the Yue Kingdom, they still belonged to the inherent territory of the Central Plains Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Five Dynasties, they took advantage of the chaos to stand on their own, and the Song Dynasty failed to completely conquer them because they did not have enough force."

"For our Ming Dynasty's move to enhance the influence of the south, Yue Guo must be frightened."

Xiao Han nodded slightly.

"Oh? Then what attitude do you think we should have towards them? ”

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"This is the post-war recovery period of our Ming Dynasty, especially at this time, the remnants of the northern Yuan are also recovering, and it is not a suitable time to conquer the southern countries."

"Moreover, doing it at this time is not in line with our Ming strategic goals in the south."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Could it be that we don't show it at all?"

Zhu Biao said unwillingly.

"Of course not."

"Even if we don't plan to hit them directly, we must make them have enough awe for our Daming."

"In southern Xinjiang and Lingnan, additional local troops and Jinyi guards were sent to suppress bandits, strengthen border supervision to prevent the bandits from continuing to flow in, and then issued a letter of state to Yue and Lancang, asking them to immediately cooperate with us to strangle the bandits who have repeatedly wandered in the border between the two sides, otherwise I will directly raise them together with the bandits."

Xiao Han said lightly.

"Don't you ask them to pay tribute?"

Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han in some surprise.

"No need, call the ministers a tribute, if you can pay a few dollars, we will have to reward them when the time comes."

"Moreover, the most important point is that if our Ming Dynasty recognizes their vassal status, it will also mean that their existence is allowed in terms of etiquette, and it is not good to do it later."

"Anyway, when our various industries in the Ming Dynasty are launched, and the roads of Southern Xinjiang and Lingnan are connected to them, they can do business directly and be much more than they can pay that little tribute, so why do you need to do more and make trouble for the strategy behind?"

Xiao Han asked Zhu Biao rhetorically.

"Makes sense."

"But what if they take the initiative to become our vassals and pay tribute?"

Zhu Biao asked again.

"If they're that interesting, we can give them a chance to continue to exist on their own, but the rule has to be changed."

"First of all, it is necessary to open borders unconditionally, to trade freely and to allow the movement of people and to allow the Ming to garrison."

"Secondly, their officials must participate in the Ming Imperial Examination and become famous before they can take office."

"In the end, up to their prime ministers and down to the magistrates, they must be verified by the Ming Dynasty, and once Ying Tianfu impeaches their officials for their ineffective work, we have the right to depose their officials."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Uh... So what is the difference between such a vassal state and a province that directly became our Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Biao was a little stunned.

"Their royal family is still there, and although their officials must stay in our Daming and can be deposed by the Daming, the officials are still their locals, and only our Daming garrison and Jinyiwei office are sent by us."

"And the tax is still theirs, but some of them have to be divided into tribute to the Ming court."

Xiao Han opened his mouth to explain.

"Isn't this the same as the Han Dynasty?"

Zhu Biao felt interesting.

"There's still a difference."

"After all, in the county of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister was directly appointed by the imperial court, but they went up to the locals who passed our Ming imperial examination."

"Of course, if their royal family falls in love with our talents from other places in the Ming Dynasty, they have to be prime ministers for them, and we can't refute the face of others."

Xiao Han smiled.

"It's got to be you."

Zhu Biao cast an admiring look at Xiao Han.

"In that case, then my side is ready to go directly to draft the decree written to the two countries."

"By the way, what if they reject our Daming's conditions?"

Zhu Biao said.

"Don't worry, they won't refuse."

"We don't want to fight now, and they don't want to fight us."

"After all, let's fight, the worst result is to lose the soldiers, and the vitality is consumed, they will directly destroy the country, this kind of unfair war, let me come, I won't start it easily, anyway, it's just to cooperate with the bandits, it's a big deal to make other small moves later, you can't gamble with your life."

Xiao Han said firmly.

"It makes sense, our Ming Dynasty swept through the universe, and even the Meng Yuan who whipped all the countries, in the face of our Ming soldiers, they could only flee in disgrace, and these small states were naturally unwilling to easily try the edge of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao nodded, said quite approvingly, and then turned to leave.

"Your Highness, news from the paper mill."

"Although we did not meet the requirements of those merchants, they still hope to buy a large number of our papers."

Zhu Biao left, Jiang You slowly walked over and said to Xiao Han.

In order to prevent chaos in the paper industry chain, Xiao Han arranged for Jiang You to take his own people and watch over there.

"Oh? Is it? ”

"It seems that these businessmen are still not giving up, trying in vain to use their financial resources to catch all our paper production capacity and continue to maintain high prices?"

"Hehe, can you catch it?"

"Jiang You, tell the paper mill that they will accept all the orders they have placed and produce them with all their might, and even the printing house can print fewer books, just see how many they can take."

Xiao Han's eyes narrowed.

On the side of the paper industry chain, but a large number of production lines are operating together, and even if a few businessmen have money, they will definitely not be able to hold on.

used all the property to swallow the production capacity of Xiao Han's side, Xiao Han saw that they all wanted to change careers to become a transportation brigade.

After all, Xiao Han's paper industry chain production capacity is absolutely overflowing to meet the demand in Tianfu.

"Yes!"

Jiang You responded and slowly retreated.

After sending Jiang You away, Xiao Han finally got free time and started his own creative career.

Xiao Han was originally going to drum out the earthen blast furnace for large-scale construction to increase the steel production of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, this thing doesn't have any big technical content, and there is no shortage of important raw materials, such as iron ore, coal and charcoal.

However, since he decided to write Daming economics first, Xiao Han can only put this matter down first.

There is no way, although Xiao Han knows how to get the earth blast furnace, but the biggest reality is that Daming does not have so many workers who can operate it.

If Daming Industry can't do it, Daming will directly pull the displaced people up, and this kind of quality will definitely not work.

Don't look at it, a meal of packing and unloading, it feels like following up the factory to make screws, and you don't need any IQ.

But that's because of the high popularity of education in later generations and the surplus of human resources, so there will be this feeling that anyone can do it.

Kunning Palace.

"What did that kid say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao.

"Dad, Fengxue also thinks that our Ming can warn and beat those small countries, but it is not suitable to go to war directly."

Zhu Biao said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Humph!"

"Beiyuan can't catch it, these small countries can't be destroyed directly, it's really annoying to us."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, quite unhappy.

"Daddy."

"Didn't I already tell you about the strategy of the wind and snow?"

"If we can make money and still be able to knock down the land, why do we have to work hard and lose money?"

Zhu Biao persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We know."

"If it weren't for the fact that you two little bunnies were right, you thought we'd be talking nonsense here?"

"I have already asked Xu Da and them to lead the troops to kill them."

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips.

"Alright, since we've decided to let you take care of this matter, you can do it."

"Biao'er, you directly write this holy decree sent to the two small countries, let's look upset."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao.

"Okay, the sons and daughters will obey their father's instructions."

Zhu Biao smiled.

"Get out of the way, don't fix this set, we're tired of it."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said.

The holy decree was issued from Zhu Biao's East Palace, and the green light went all the way to the border.

After a day and a night, it was sent into the territory of the Yue Kingdom and the Lancang Kingdom.

After all, the Divine Decree is not an army, and it is much more convenient to mobilize than a large army, and under the urgency of eight hundred miles, it is necessary to change horses and riders continuously, run wild day and night, and sometimes take the waterway by the way, which is naturally much faster.

Thang Long City.

The Royal Palace of the Yue Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, Da Ming sent someone to deliver a holy decree that you personally inscribed."

Outside the palace, a eunuch walked in with a brocade box.

"Oh?"

"What did Emperor Ming write to me?"

"Li Qing, you read it to me."

Emperor Yue Chen Xuan raised his head slightly, and said to Li Jiyak, the confidant minister on the side.

"Fengtian carrier."

"The emperor said."

"There is a small country in Lampang, and the supervision is not effective, so that the thieves are in my Ming Dynasty, and I order the king of the Yue country to mobilize the troops of the Yue country, and cooperate with the Ming border to eliminate the bandits, without delay."

"If there is any neglect of the envoys of the Heavenly Empire, then the army..."

Li Jiyak stretched out his hand to take it and began to read, but his face gradually turned pale as he spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"Keep reading."

Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

"Then the army will go south, and all the thieves will be destroyed."

Boom!

Li Jiyak insisted on pronouncing the last few words, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his hands were trembling slightly.

The current Yue Kingdom is no longer the Yue Kingdom that fought against the Mongol soldiers and went south and remained immortal.

At this time, the Chen royal family of the Yue Kingdom was only able to get out of the Yang Rili Rebellion and regain the power of the country for a year, and the whole country was in chaos.

In the south, there is even more Pengor, which occupies the country, and the situation on the battlefield is extremely unfavorable.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that the strength of the occupation was insufficient and he could not annex the Yue country in one fell swoop, I am afraid that the land of the Yue country would have been cut off, and this small southern overlord who was once able to resist Mongolia would have been torn apart.

"Alas!"

"Emperor Ming Zhu Yuanzhang, as always domineering."

Chen Wei sighed.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, why don't we resume our tribute to the Ming Dynasty and bow down to our vassals."

Li Ji Oyster said tentatively.

Originally, two years ago, during the period of Chen Yuzong, it was a tribute to the newly established Ming Dynasty.

It's just that in the Yang Rili Rebellion a year ago, the Yue Kingdom was in turmoil, cutting off the tributary with the Ming Dynasty, and in fact breaking off the relationship with the tributary state.

This is also why Zhu Biao's holy decree to Yue did not use words such as "lower state" and "subject country".

Instead, he used "Lampang as a small country" to describe the Yue country.

"I'm afraid..."

"It's not that simple, during the Yang Rili period, the tribute with the Ming Dynasty was cut off, but it stands to reason that I succeeded to the throne as the Chen royal family, and it should be logical to restore the relationship between the monarch of the tributary country, and just wait for the envoy to pay tribute this year, it is natural."

"But the holy decree of the Ming Dynasty did not describe my Dayue as a 'subject country' of the Ming Dynasty, but used the word 'small country of Lambang', which shows that the Ming Dynasty refuses to recognize the status of my Dayue's vassal state, and it stands to reason that as a suzerain, this situation will not be done."

"Most probably, it is that Da Ming is very angry at our actions of letting those thieves run around, and he has really had the idea of crusading against us."

Chen Xuan sighed lightly and said solemnly.

"It's... How good is that? ”

"My Dayue's national strength has long lived up to its original strength, and it is impossible to resist the Ming Dynasty's soldiers."

Li Ji Oyster said a little nervously.

"You're embarrassed to say it!"

"If you hadn't told me, some thieves wouldn't have to pay attention to it, how could there be this scene today!"

Chen Xuan said angrily.

"It's... Your Majesty, Weichen didn't expect that such a big empire as Daming would be so cautious, and the problem of a few thieves would make me dissatisfied with Dayue. ”

"However, Weichen feels that His Majesty's judgment is still too early, since Daming has put forward the request of cooperating with the suppression of bandits in the holy decree, I think there is still a chance to ease, at that time, we will send an envoy to ask for the resumption of tribute to Daming, maybe we can get Daming's forgiveness, rest easy."

Li Jiyu said to Chen Xuan.

"Humph! You said it simply, I'm afraid that Da Ming won't agree so easily. ”

Chen Xuan snorted coldly.
