Chapter 415 Interests

The ministers each read the memorial, and at first they all looked happy.

The heavy cavalry chase caused some Tartars who were still in Jiang State to run away after hearing the news.

There are not many Tartars left in Jiang State now, which is definitely good news.

This was a headache at first, but now it is no longer necessary.

But after they saw the following news, they understood why the emperor's face turned ugly again.

This cavalry actually comes from Xinghan City!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lu Chensheng of Star Han City and the emperor are mortal enemies.

Whether it was in terms of face or the fear of this star in Seoul, it was enough to make the emperor a little unhappy.

"You all have seen that there is this cavalry in Seoul. If it is allowed to develop, I am afraid it will become a serious problem sooner or later."

Jiang Jinjing looked at the minister below and said.

When the ministers heard this, they were not surprised. They had already guessed what this meant.

"Xinghan City has developed so rapidly, and now it even has cavalry. If there are no sanctions, Xinghan City will undoubtedly rise."

Immediately a minister from below stood up and spoke.

"How to punish? According to this memorial, the city wall of Xinghan City has been rebuilt. The wall is much higher than that of the imperial capital. Now it is captured? Besides, if the Tartars see it outside the wall, the army will be in danger!"

They sent people to attack Seoul. If there was any advantage they could take advantage of, the Tatars would definitely join in.

"Xinghan City has transported a lot of ore back from us. All we need to do is cut it off. The other party also bought a lot of grain, and they are still buying it now. What will Xinghan City do after we cut it off?"

The minister on the side heard this and immediately responded.

Naturally, his plan was not to fight, but to directly cut off the trade with Xinghan City.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Jinjing frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face.

The minister of household affairs on the side suddenly became anxious and quickly stood up and spoke.

"How to make it happen? Xing Hancheng is not even old this year, but it has already made the country nearly one million taels of silver. If trade is cut off, the national treasury will be empty!"

The Minister of Household Affairs' face was extremely anxious.

"Hmph, this is a serious problem. If it is not solved, it will bite us sooner or later. How can we only focus on benefits now?"

The cabinet minister on the side said with a cold snort, his face full of righteousness.

"Benefit?"

The minister of household affairs laughed angrily when he heard this.

"Did you know that there is a drought around the imperial capital this year? If you don't collect any money, where will the money come from for disaster relief if you don't have these silver coins?

There is a locust plague in Shanhe Province in the west, which is extremely serious. If it were not for this money, tens of thousands of people would have starved to death by now!

How do you think your salaries are paid, and where do you get so much money from the treasury? A lot of it comes from the trade in Xinghan City!"

The Minister of Household Affairs was anxious, but after letting him take over the money, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if there is a drought here or a locust plague there, they will all be asking for money.

The emperor wants to expand the armament and needs money. How can he, the Minister of Household Affairs, get so much money?

It is also thanks to Xing Seoul's large-scale purchase of materials, ores, timber, charcoal, coal mines, etc. from their country.

These things were sold for a lot of money, and a lot of goods were brought back from Xinghan City and sold for a lot of money.

Part of the money flowed into the treasury, but this part already made him feel relieved.

If this trade is cut off, the money in it will be gone, and then the national treasury will really be empty!

Jiang Jinjing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was actually not very satisfied with this proposal.

He naturally knows the profits that Star Seoul can bring. If not, how could he turn a blind eye like this?

After all, Lu Chensheng and him are also mortal enemies.

"Besides, even if we are cut off, if Da Cang Kingdom and Cheng Zhou Guo continue to trade with them, what will the city of Seoul lose?"

The minister of household affairs on the side continued to speak.

He is very clear about this matter. Xing Hancheng's trading partners are not just Jiang Guo.

The Chengzhou Kingdom and the Da Cang Kingdom were both trading partners of each other, and so were foreigners.

Although Lu Chensheng killed the Tartars so badly now, when the time comes for trade, the other party will still trade.

Naturally, the purpose is for the cattle and sheep produced in the other party's grassland. It would be best if there are horses.

Otherwise, where did Lu Chensheng's cavalry come from?

These words immediately silenced the other ministers.

If you think about it carefully, although such a decision will bring a lot of trouble to Xinghan City, it will also cause them a lot of trouble themselves.

What's more, you can't kill the opponent this way.

With the Zhou Kingdom and Da Cang Kingdom here, such a decision is indeed unwise.

"Then what should we do? We can't just let the star city of Seoul continue to grow, right? The opponent currently only has 2,000 cavalry. I heard that this time the opponent captured a lot of war horses when they killed the Tartars.

This time, the opponent's cavalry will definitely be much larger. If the opponent buys some war horses, how can they defeat them?

This is a cavalry that even the Tartars cannot fight against. If they rebel, what will we do?"

Seeing that this opinion was not adopted, another cabinet minister on the side said angrily.

"The only thing that can be done is to find the Tatars and see if they can buy some war horses. If not, they need to be informed. If the war horses are sold to Seoul City, the Tatars will be waiting to be exterminated.

!

After this battle, they will understand that if they sell the war horses of Xinghan City, they themselves will be in trouble."

After Nei Shiling thought about it for a while, he spoke with a bit of solemnity in his tone.

When the others heard this, their faces suddenly lit up with joy.

Yes, just tell the Tatars directly that you don't want to.

The cavalry of Xinghan City are so powerful, wouldn't it be better if they don't sell their horses to the other side?

If that's the only thing, it's nothing to worry about.

Moreover, since the opponent has such a cavalry, I think that after the Tartars come out, Xinghan City will also fight with them.

It limits the opponent's strength development and allows the opponent to stand in front of him, which is simply great.

Jiang Jinjing listened and thought for a moment, then nodded.

This is a good idea. In this way, the trade will not be interrupted, and Jiang Guo can still earn the money he deserves. Thinking of this, he nodded repeatedly.

"Well, draw up a charter, and then send an envoy. Be sure to spread the news to the Tartars, so that they can restrict their own people and prohibit the sale of war horses to Lu Chensheng."
