It's the New Year, Li Qing didn't ask for leave, and he doesn't want to go back this year.

One person and one donkey celebrate the New Year at home, the donkey eats grass, he eats donkey meat hot pot, and people and animals get along happily.

Jingtai three years, the first day of the new year.

Li Qing received two big red envelopes, but I didn't see it, Zhu Qiyu would still have one set on the surface and one behind his back, Li Qing liked it very much.

In February, the Varat ammunition ran out, and the first half of the trade was requested to settle the settlement.

Zhu Qiyu readily agreed, Daming's firearms were not sold to Warat at cost price, the price was three times the cost price, and the Ming Dynasty made a lot of money by settling it with shells.

In May, Warat was a little unbearable, and said that it was better to change back to tea, salt and iron.

Zhu Qiyu didn't make it difficult, and at the same time told Wara: If you can't do it, you can take out a loan, and you can't be shabby in the war.

Boyan Timur was as good as a stream, and in July, he borrowed another 3,000 shells and 100 artillery pieces.

Daming was ready early in the morning, applied for approval in seconds, and sent it to Xuanfu in time to let Warat pick it up.

Boyan Timur is not a fool, he also knows that Daming is changing the law to make money, but he doesn't care, because the problem of Warat has really been effectively solved and gradually grown.

His prestige on the steppe is also growing.

At the end of August, firearms were delivered to the Warat camp.

In September, Varat officially launched an offensive against its old rival, the Tatars.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than a month, and in the end, the Tatars were defeated, abandoned the camp and fled.

Zhu Qiyu received the goods and sent these materials to the Weaving Bureau of Tianjin Wei, ordering them to be processed quickly and sold to Japan in March of the following year.

At the same time, the minting of copper coins by the Baoyuan Bureau is also in full swing.

…

Jingtai four years,

The Tatars gathered some tribes, made a comeback, and attacked the Varat camp, wounding 1,000 enemies and 800 of themselves.

Jingtai five years,

With the muskets and cannons borrowed from the Ming Dynasty, Warat attacked the Tatars again, avenging the revenge with one arrow, and almost failed to destroy the Tatars.

Jingtai six years,

The Tatars grew again, like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

After all, the Tatars are natives of the steppe, and the steppe tribes are naturally close to the Tatars.

Warat struck the Tatars again, routed them, and pursued them for three hundred miles, and the Tatars who were killed lost their armor.

Jingtai seven years,

Boyan Timur was unprecedentedly inflated, thinking that he could already dominate and dominate, and began to beat people when he began to arrest them, wanting to dominate the steppe by force.

His rampant tyranny aroused the common hatred and hatred of the steppe tribes, some of them united with each other, and even took the initiative to take refuge in the Tatar tribe.

The anger from the locals should not be underestimated, and Warat soon tasted the bitter fruit.

But Wara did not suffer a big loss, these years of fighting were not in vain, and with the blessing of the Ming Dynasty's firearms, they are still strong.

However, although Warat is tough enough, it is still a little unbearable to face the group beating of the locals.

Soon he couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only continue to borrow from Daming.

Warat is uncomfortable, and the tribes on the grassland are not strong, but there is no way, if they don't resist, they can only sit and wait, they have no choice.

Jingtai eight years,

Li Qing saw that the time was ripe, and immediately urged Zhu Qiyu to implement the national policy of appeasement.

Zhu Qiyu heard Li Qing's suggestion and smiled lightly.

For five years, he waited for five years, and every time he wanted to implement this national policy, he was blocked by Li Qing on the grounds that the time had not come. ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

This time, the recovery of the grassland can finally be put on the agenda, what else does he have to hesitate about? Of course, it is to be carried out decisively!

Li Qing also deliberately processed it, saying: Daming saw that Wara was suffering from the enemy on his belly and back, and deliberately implemented this national policy to reduce the pressure on Warat.

What could Boyan Timur say? Da Ming is really righteous!

After all...... Da Ming did this, which really relieved the pressure on Warat.

The small tribes on the grassland were the first to respond, they generally couldn't beat others on the grassland, they were all beaten, and defecting to the Ming Dynasty was their only way out.

At this time, He Yong, the former Taishi, finally had a place to use.

Zhu Qiyu promoted him to the right governor, and the general leader defected to the grassland tribe, of course, Zhu Qiyu was not very relieved and brave, so he asked Li Qing to join him.

Li Qing loves to be lazy, but never flinched when it was critical.

He worked with He Yong to start transporting people to Liaodong, and it only took more than half a year to transport nearly 100,000 people.

At Li Qing's suggestion, the Ming Dynasty contributed money and grain to actively build Liaodong, which indirectly drove the economic development of Liaodong, which was bitterly cold.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month,

Li Qing was ordered to return to Beijing, enter the palace to face the saint, and report the current situation of Liaodong to Zhu Qiyu.

"At present, the situation in Liaodong is very good, and the infrastructure has made great progress...... "After Li Qing finished speaking, he changed his words and said, "However, ...... There is something wrong with it. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Every time Mr. raises a problem, he has already thought of a solution, and this time is no exception." ”

He quipped, "Can't you know everything about me?" ”

Li Qing smiled and said bluntly: "The minister suggested that the emperor implement a national policy to allow Han and Mongolian marriages. ”

"This ......" Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly, "I'm afraid it's not easy to implement, the people ......"

"It's not compulsory," Li Qing said, "It's just a simple way to show the attitude of the imperial court, the people are willing to marry a grassland woman, or a grassland man, and the imperial court is supportive, so as to avoid the situation that both sides look at each other but dare not go over." ”

"That's fine." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Mr. is also thinking about it, if you want to truly integrate, there is only one way to intermarry, otherwise the estrangement will never be eliminated." ”

After a pause, "Look at this, the Han and Mongolian couples got married, and the imperial court issued a part of the subsidy." ”

"No." Li Qing shook his head resolutely, "The two sides have just started to get in touch, and they are not familiar with each other, and if they do this, someone will force their children to marry a Mongolian person for the sake of profit, which is likely to cause a tragedy." ”

Li Qing said: "When both parties are familiar with each other's living habits and accept each other's living habits, and the combination of consensual is the best policy, the court can show its attitude and let both parties choose freely." ”

"Hmm... Or the gentleman is more thoughtful. Zhu Qiyu bowed his head and said with a smile: "Mr. has worked hard for most of the year, spend the New Year at home, and then be busy with official business after the New Year." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Li Qing said with a smile.

Back home, Li Qing secretly wondered if he should go back to Jinling for the New Year.

It's already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, so I'll go back for the Lantern Festival, and I have to return non-stop, after all, there are still many things to do in Liaodong, and we can't delay it for too long.

After thinking about it, Li Qing decided to go back and have a look.

He has also gone back over the years, but the number of times and the time he lived in Jinling are too little, and the little old man is left with his apprentice, and the Lantern Festival is also considered to be a gathering during the New Year.

Li Qing sighed and said to himself: "After being busy for the past two years, you can do it step by step in the future, and accompany Master more when the time comes." ”

'Bang bang bang......' knock on the door suddenly sounded, and then the voice of his godson Li Hong came: "Godfather, we came to see you." ”

Li Qing was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

The little old man, the godson is here.

Behind the two of them was a large carriage, and from the corner of the sedan curtain opened, the box could be seen, and there was no need to ask, it must be containing a grand fake.

"Master, why are you here?" Li Qing's face was full of surprise.

Zhang sloppy glanced at him, and said quietly: "Isn't this to see that you are busy?" ”

Li Qing's heart was sour, and he said ashamedly: "Master, I'm sorry. ”

"Okay, don't talk about those fictitious things, make more delicious food for the New Year." Zhang sloppily waved his hand, walked to the still hot recliner and sat down, "Go and move the things down." ”

"Hey, okay." Li Qing agreed, and said with a smile, "Master, whatever you want to eat, I'll do it at night." ”

"You're in time for the New Year's fair?"

"No, but I can go to the palace to buy them."

Zhang sloppy touched his nose and said, "It's just a matter of stealing books, isn't it too much to steal vegetables again?" ”

“…… You don't have to steal the dishes, just take care of the emperor. Li Qing said with a smile, "I'll move things in first, Master don't worry, there will be something delicious at night." ”

Li Hong was already thirteen years old, and he was as tall as Li Qing's chin, so he also stepped forward to help, and asked in a low voice:

"Godfather, you and your grandfather are going to the palace to steal something?"

"Uh...... Yes. Li Qing glanced at the little old man with resentment and explained, "Godfather is to better preserve the ceremony." ”

Li Hong didn't doubt his godfather's character, he rubbed his hands and said, "Can you take me there?" ”

"Can't!" Li Qing refused with a straight face, and slapped him, "Hurry up and work, if you think about these crooked things, your legs will be broken." ”

Li Hong: "......"
