Chapter 121: Back in Beijing, the turmoil arose again
The yak was sent to the camp of the Ming army in the morning, and Li Qing came to the camp in the afternoon.
Warat's export commodities are broadly divided into four categories: ginseng, leather goods, medicinal herbs, and livestock.
Among them, livestock mainly includes three major types, yaks, camels, and war horses.
Yaks and camels can bring convenience to the Ming Dynasty and the migration of the people, and the war horse can improve the development of the Ming army's cavalry.
Too much of Warat can't bear it, too little Daming will suffer, and this amount is just the limit of what Warat can bear.
I didn't have a choice, I could only agree.
After signing the trade agreement with Warat, Li Qing signed a separate agreement with Ah Lost Timur, although the current Uliangha almost exists in name, but the attitude still has to be there, and it can also sound the alarm bell for Warat: Don't beat the idea of Uliangha.
One more force on the grassland is beneficial and harmless to the Ming Dynasty.
The more forces, the more contradictions, and the internal instability of the grassland is what Li Qing wants to see.
Ah Lost Timur is grateful, he was still a prisoner the day before yesterday, and he has become a tribal leader again, although he is almost not in the stream, but the Ming Dynasty recognizes his status!
This is a talisman, at least Warat will not dare to fight him again.
After the agreement was signed, Tuhuan couldn't help but ask, "Yongqinghou, ...... about firearms?" ”
"This...... Li Qing said with a smile, "It depends on your performance, but after the emperor goes back, he will increase the production of firearms, and whether firearms can join the trade ranks is not in Daming, but in you." ”
You can write a bad check casually, but you can't sign a document.
Dehuan was a little disappointed, but Daming's tea, iron pot, silk, salt and other things were all urgently needed by them, and with these things, they could develop rapidly.
……
After another scene, the two sides agreed on the time of trade, and the first batch of trade will be carried out after winter.
Li Qing originally wanted to eat the banquet first, but the customs on the grassland were different from those in the Central Plains, and the dead people did not hold banquets, so they could only return in a huff.
~
Two days later, the Ming army was classified.
In this battle, nearly 20,000 enemies were annihilated, and a total of 5,000 sheep, 2,500 camels, and 8,700 yaks were harvested.
However, the balance on the grassland has been broken, which makes Li Qing worried.
The stratagonism shown by the Tatars made Li Qing a little creepy.
In fact, he was not too sure that Varat would be able to hold the Tatars.
Along the way, Zhu Di was not interested, and obviously thought of going with Li Qing.
……
The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, the sky is blue, the sky is cloudless, and it is beautiful.
Zhu Di is old, and he rides the dragon chariot all the way, not afraid of the wind and sun, but others don't have this treatment.
Yu Qian came down this trip, black and thin, he was not fat, he looked like a bamboo pole, and he looked malnourished.
There is less bookishness, and the whole person is a lot refined.
This trip with the army, whether it is physical, psychological, or insight, has grown a lot.
I have endured some hardships, but I have also matured and steady.
Li Qing looked happy, drove his horse to him, handed out the wine bag, "Drink two sips to relieve fatigue." ”
Yu Qian thanked him, took two large mouthfuls, and looked satisfied, "Thanks to Lord Shangshu's care, please come back after you go back." ”
Li Qing took the wine bag and grinned, "Okay! ”
Yu Qian also smiled.
The war horse moved forward slowly, and with the movement of the horse, the person also bumped slightly up and down, although he was used to it, Yu Qian was still sore.
Tilting his head and glancing at Li Qing, Yu Qian found that he didn't seem to have any discomfort or tiredness, as if such a trivial matter as marching could not affect him at all.
The whole person is as steady as Mount Tai, and there is not even a slight bump in the body.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Yu Qian shook his head, and then, he couldn't help but be curious, "Li Shangshu, have you really entered the year of the sixtieth year?" ”
"Ah, isn't it like?"
You wear a mask all day, how can I see it...... Yu Qian scratched his head, "Look at Li Shangshu's bones...... It's even better than young people. ”
Li Qing smiled slightly, "This official has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and his body has always been strong. ”
Yu Qian nodded and did not continue the topic: "Li Shangshu, after going back, the lower official will continue his previous position?" ”
"Hmm." Li Qing stretched, "First, continue to supervise the migration of the southern people to the north, and in the winter, you will be responsible for supervising the tea and horse trade." ”
Yu Qian hesitated a little, and finally said yes.
"You don't like it?" Li Qing asked.
"No, it's not." Yu Qian hesitated slightly, and asked: "Li Shangshu seems to intend to cultivate the lower officials, and he still cultivates them in terms of the situation inside and outside the customs. ”
"You're from the military department, isn't that normal?" Li Qing smiled, "Or are you afraid of hardship?" ”
"Of course not." Yu Qian's expression was solemn, "Joining the official office, being loyal to the country, and serving the people is really my duty, why do you say that it is hard, it's just ......"
He was puzzled: "Xia Guan is just a new science and technology jinshi, neither the top armor, nor outstanding ability, why does Li Shangshu treat Xia Guan so favorably?" ”
Li Qing pondered for a while and said with a smile: "What, you don't have confidence in yourself?" ”
"It's not, it's just ......" Yu Qian took a deep breath, "I hope Li Shangshu can solve the doubts of the lower officials." ”
This question has been bothering him for a long time.
"I've explained this before, the reason why I trained you is because you have just entered the ranks, you are righteous, you have not been polluted by the smoke and miasma of officialdom, and you are not from a Jiangnan family." Li Qing said lightly,
"Instead of dwelling on this, it is better to improve your ability, serve the country and the people, and not be in vain in the training of your own officials, don't put the cart before the horse."
Yu Qian's lips squirmed a few times and nodded heavily.
Li Qing smiled and said, "That's right." ”
said, 'tons and tons of ......' is another binge drinking, and it can be seen that Yu Qian's gluttony has committed it again.
"Here you go." Li Qing is very generous.
Yu Qian took it, but only half of the mouth was left.
……
……
In late July, he returned to Beijing.
Li Qing didn't care about rewarding the soldiers and pensions, and the first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to ask for leave.
Zhu Di scolded and scolded, but he still criticized him for five days.
Li Qing's trip to the house was not long, but it was only a hundred days, and the three daughters did not change much, but after all, when they reached their age, their old appearance increased a little.
They cooked their own meals, and as they had done before, they looked at him with their hands on the table and chin dragging, chattering and chattering.
Li Qing responded to them while eating a delicious meal......
Eating and drinking, talking and laughing, a meal is eaten from the evening until it gets dark.
In the evening, Li Qing gave them true qi one by one, nourishing their bodies and eliminating potential illnesses for them.
……
Five days passed in a flash, and Li Qing, who had been lying at home for several days, finally went to court.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of the last dynasty, something big happened.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fu. At the same time, the newspaper was built: There were thieves along the coast, and the scale was not small, as many as thousands, and the people along the coast suffered greatly.
Zhu Di was furious when he heard this, and immediately sent troops to quell the chaos.
As a result, first the cabinet Jin Youzi and Yang Rong obstructed, and then, most of the southern officials went out to dissuade them, and finally even talked to the officials who had always been with the mud.
The reason is surprisingly consistent: they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, just appease and educate, there is no need to use knives and guns against the people!
Problematic...... Li Qing's eyes narrowed, and he instantly thought of Tang Sai'er's previous 'uprising'.
Li Qing felt that there was a problem, not to mention the suspicious Zhu Di.
Zhu Di immediately summoned Xiao Linzi, the commander of the East Factory, who stayed behind before the expedition, to inquire about the details.
Seeing the admiral of Dongchang enter the hall, the civil official who was still shouting just now immediately became dumbfounded, looking shocked and frightened.
They didn't expect that Dongchang's hand would be so long that even Jiangnan began to meddle.
Zhu Di took in the expressions of these people, snorted coldly, and asked, "Xiaolinzi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fu. What the hell is going on with the thieves who built it? ”
"Emperor Qiqi, in fact, there are no thieves." Xiao Linzi said respectfully, "The so-called thieves and gangsters are all troubles caused by the rich gentry of the people smuggling goods to the sea. ”
Li Qing didn't show too much surprise, with such a big benefit from maritime trade, it was impossible for the rich gentry in Jiangnan to abandon it, and the profits of several times or even ten times were enough to make people despise all laws.
Including the Son of Heaven Longwei!
"Tell me about it." Zhu Di's eyes were cold, "Who are these thieves?" ”
Xiao Linzi was a little embarrassed, the East Factory had not been established for a long time, and it had not yet fully grown up, and he had not found anything substantial.
"It is rumored that these thieves are all gangsters raised by rich gentry, or bribed, or cooperated, or even ......"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Xiao Linzi whispered, "It is reported that there are even Han people who pretend to be Japanese robbers, directly carry out looting in coastal areas, and then sell the looted things overseas. ”
"Father-in-law, you have to talk about evidence." The servant of the Ministry of Officials said in a strange manner, "It is rumored that after hearing such a thing, without verification, he dared to go directly to the heavens?" ”
"It's not too late to check." Zhu Di glanced at the waiter coldly, and said lightly, "Xiaolinzi, you can send a soldier to investigate, and you will personally lead the team." ”
"The slave obeys."
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music." Jin Youzi came out of the class, "The words of the Han people pretending to be Japanese are from the mouth of Lin Gonggong, and he can't be allowed to investigate, lest he distort the facts in order to confirm his words." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Bachelor Hanlin followed closely and went out of class, "Gonggong Lin needs to avoid suspicion, why don't you let the superintendent of the imperial history investigate." ”
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth flashed with a hint of playfulness, "What if I let him investigate?" ”
"If the emperor insists on doing this, the result will definitely be difficult to convince the public." The right deputy envoy of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate went out of the class.
"Hehe," Zhu Di sneered, "You want to convince the public, right?"
Yes!
One Dali Temple, one Ducha Yuan, one Hanlin Yuan, one Jinyiwei, can you supervise it? ”
The right deputy envoy of the Imperial Court was speechless, so he had to arch his hand and say, "The emperor is sage!" ”
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, why don't you let the six departments join in?" "In this way, we can better convince the public." ”
This old boy is still thinking about the mud, or rather, he is also implicated...... Zhu Di's eyes became colder and colder.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to get angry, Li Qing went out and said, "If you want to send people out of the six departments, the ministers recommend the military department to give the matter, and Yu Qian will cooperate with the supervision." ”
"If you send people from the military department, then our officials will also send people." The servants of the ministry came out of class, "Your Majesty, the ministers recommend ......"
"Someone!" Zhu Di let out a snort, interrupting his next words.
The ministers saw that the emperor's face was full of anger, and their hearts were uneasy.
After a while, the general of the station hall entered the main hall, "Please ask the emperor to command." ”
Zhu Di's face was expressionless, "Put Jian Yi in prison." ”
Capture the thief and capture the king, Zhu Di now sees that everyone is a thief, so he simply took the most weighty official book.
Sure enough, this trick was very effective, and the ministers were honest at once.
The servant of the ministry did not say anything, and returned to work honestly, and the whole hall was silent.
