Lu Fang nodded slightly. It was actually good if the treasury had money. It would be easier to use it wherever there was money. For example, the repair work of the city wall and farmland, as well as the appeasement of the people, etc., were all money taken from the treasury.
Having money on the books will give people a sense of security, especially at the national level. Only when the country is prosperous and strong can the people relax and drive economic development. Otherwise, even if the people have money in their hands, they will not dare to spend it.
"Well, let's do this. You go call Chen Hong over and let him prepare. It's time to set off. Troops with transportation tasks will return to the capital. Those who don't will be diverted directly to Qi Jingtong. By the way.
Bring some food over, we also want to show our sincerity."
Zhu Houcong squinted his eyes, he couldn't bear to let the child catch the wolf, and he couldn't bear to make a nest, so how could he catch the fish? He wanted to give the other party some sweetness first, after all, this business is going to last for a long time.
"Nuo, I'm going to prepare it now." Lu Fang nodded slightly. The family still has some wealth. They scraped a lot of grain before, and there are some grains stored for many years, which can be used just right.
"Well, let's go down." Zhu Houcong waved his hand.
After Lu Fang left, Zhu Houcong touched his chin. It won't work if it goes on like this. The grain business is definitely easy to do, but the landlords don't have much leftover grain. It seems that they still have to find a way to make hybrid rice. This thing needs to be cultivated slowly.
, and it’s not good here in the capital, so you have to go south. It shouldn’t be a big problem, just cultivate it slowly.
There is really no way. He didn't want to be in such a hurry, but his next plan is to encourage births. Without a population, it is impossible. But even if births are encouraged, there is nothing that can be done without food for these newly born children.
They are still alive, so the food problem is still quite urgent.
He didn't have a clue about this kind of thing. He could only provide a general idea, but this kind of thing must not be as simple as imagined. Just cross a few grains and it would be like this. How could it be such a simple thing?
, you still have to find someone to do this. He doesn’t have a suitable candidate here, but he doesn’t know if Yang Shen has one.
After all, he has also opened a certain education, and I don’t know if he has cultivated talents in this field. Although one year is a bit short, it does not affect Zhu Houcong’s expectations. He believes that geniuses are different from ordinary people.
If there is such a genius, not to mention a year, a month is no problem.
Didn't Yang Shen himself just let him go and leave it to him? Isn't he doing a good job now?
"This servant pays homage to your master, your majesty will live forever." Just as Zhu Houcong was thinking, Chen Hong had already arrived, panting slightly. He had jogged all the way over. On the way, Lu Fang told him roughly what he wanted to do.
This made him immediately realize that this was an opportunity. After all, he had been working in the palace, and now he finally had the opportunity. As long as he did well, he would be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
In the past, Gu Dayong was doing all the things outside. It is undeniable that he did a good job, but not bad is not bad. He also wants to give it a try. If he can do it well this time, His Majesty will think of it next time.
I'll definitely think of him when I'm doing things.
"Get up, did Lu Fang tell you?" Zhu Houcong waved his hand and said that it had been a long time since he had seen Chen Hong. This guy had been busy in the cabinet and it was indeed very hard.
"When I came here, my godfather briefly talked to the slave. Does your Majesty have anything to explain to the slave?" Chen Hong naturally knew that His Majesty must have something to explain to him.
"Well, don't let me let you go to negotiate this time. In addition to food, if they need anything else, we can also sell it. Salt, tea and medicine are no problem, but the price must not be less. If you don't have money, you can
Use something else instead, furs, meat, mineral resources are no problem, try to get as many good things as possible." There is no loss-making business in the world, selling is fine, I will give you what you need, and you have to give me what you need.
"Nuo." Chen Hong was well prepared, so naturally he couldn't suffer a loss. Besides, there was no defeat on the battlefield. Not only that, but he also gave the opponent a free blow. Why should he suffer a loss?
"Also, tell them that I want to build a city on their territory near the Great Wall for trade. Let's see what they think." Zhu Houcong didn't care about the land with three melons and two dates. The main reason was that there were
When it comes to a suitable place for trading, you can't let them transport supplies or let them in? These are not good, just build a city and then just spend money to hire their people.
"Well, is it too dangerous to build a city on the grassland?" Chen Hong hesitated a little, not because he questioned His Majesty's decision, but because the grassland people are cruel by nature. Even if the agreement is reached now, who knows when he will regret it.
"It doesn't matter, just give away the property regularly. If they dare to do something, then beat them. Besides, if you don't build a city, where can so many things be traded? Just tell them,
We will provide the money, and they will provide the people." Zhu Houcong doesn't care about the money anymore. If this trade city is built, it will provide a steady stream of money and a young and strong labor force. Isn't this better than a little money?
"Then Your Majesty, what if they ask about the prisoners?" If the two sides want to talk about it, the prisoners must be an unavoidable part, but this team has done a lot of bad things in the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty certainly doesn't want to do it so easily.
Let them go.
"Keep part of it secretly, and they can redeem the rest if they want to, and offer a good price, or you can propose another plan, that is, they don't have to pay, but they have to pay the redemption money themselves, and we can let them go.
But you have to work for me until you pay off your debt." Zhu Houcong suddenly thought of a good idea, wouldn't this still be a slave, but the explanation sounded much nicer and more acceptable.
But you still have to leave a part of it. Zhu Houcong still has to find someone to dig coal. He used to ask Yang Shen to dig anthracite coal, but it stopped because of the war. Now it cannot be used again. This is a good thing. With stable firepower resources
, it can be converted into other energy sources, such as internal combustion engines and electricity.
Regardless of this, with coal, people will not freeze and starve in winter. With enough heating, fewer people will die. Coal mining can also provide jobs. If you think farming is not profitable, you can
Go dig coal. Not only will you get paid, but you will also receive a certain amount of coal. You will get more than one stone with one stone.
"No." Chen Hong knew in his heart that as long as he didn't lose money, it would be fine. Then it would be easy. All he had to do was fulfill His Majesty's request.
"Well, you go down and prepare. I will ask the four armies to move closer over there to give you more momentum. Don't be afraid. If he refuses to admit defeat, beat him until he admits defeat and then talk about cooperation. It may be easier to talk at that time.
"Anyway, the initiative is now in his hands. If he doesn't accept it, he'll fight. It's the same thing if he agrees and talks later."
"Thank you, Master. This slave will definitely not embarrass the Master." Chen Hong looked excited.
"You are not trying to embarrass me. The soldiers have worked hard to gain this advantage with their lives. If you embarrass me, it is they who are the ones to blame. You can figure it out on your own." Zhu Houcong waved his hand and said whoever deserves the credit will get it. He is fine.
Sitting in the palace reading a book, this victory does not belong to me.
"promise."
After receiving the order, Chen Hong began to pack his bags and set off before dawn the next day. Qi Jingtong had already contacted the Tatar tribe once, and the other party was also willing to cooperate, but Qi Jingtong did not have the qualifications. Chen Hong
The sooner the better, the later the better. After the war is over, Zhu Houcong should start to rectify the internal affairs.
Originally, these guys were prepared for Wang Yangming. It's a pity. I don't know where this guy went. But it doesn't matter. At least the results are similar. They all have to be sorted out in the end. Zhu Houcong plans to start directly with the Kong family, the leader of the Confucian sect.
, dared to send people into the palace to assassinate them, so what kind of rules do I have to say, but at this time it is better to let them be afraid for a while longer.
If you want to establish new concepts, the fastest way is to smash the old ones, even if you receive unprecedented resistance.
Zhu Houcong didn't care. After this battle, trade exchanges with the grasslands were established, and the country would be at peace for a period of time. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to do something big, why would he do it?
As long as the country is not directly paralyzed, that's fine. If they make trouble, they will be arrested. There will always be obedient people. If one person does the work of two people, he will be paid two wages. He won't believe it, and he can't cure those corrupt scholars.
This is the country's policy: if you can do something, do it; if you can't, then leave. If you dare to cause trouble, you will be arrested.
To be honest, Zhu Houcong just wants to cause something to happen, and he must not stop. When Zhu Houcong calms down, those people will stop. Don't look at Zhu Houcong's glory now that he has won the battle, but after he calms down for a while, they will still be alive and kicking.
Zhu Houcong can ignore it, after all, you are calling me, but if I don't listen, what can you do?
It's just that sometimes it's really annoying and annoying to look at. Just like now, whenever Zhu Houcong relaxes even a little bit, he will be annoyed to death by those guys.
The reason why those people didn't dare to jump around was because Zhu Houcong suppressed him so much at the beginning, but this also had a disadvantage, that is, if there was any situation or something, they would not report it. It was just that Zhu Houcong thought that instead of identifying something real from the garbage heap,
It's better to just block it.
The premise of this is that Zhu Houcong must have his own pair of glasses. The Dongchang used by Guda and the intelligence department of Jinyiwei are his eyes and can be played, but you must be able to play like this.
In addition, Yan Song is in the cabinet, so you basically can't hide any news from him. But if you can't do it, it's better not to play like this and just follow them. At least they can stabilize the country.
Whether the country is in chaos or not sometimes depends on what some people say. Unfortunately, Zhu Houcong didn't care about them at all. Anyway, I have soldiers in my hands. If you dare to jump, you can catch them if you dare to jump.
In other words, it seems that Zhu Houcong has been suppressing them like this and has not given them a chance to jump. It is just that he is going to do something big next, which will shake the foundation of Confucianism and will definitely encounter unprecedented resistance.
Speaking of this, Zhu Houcong remembered that he was going to open Enke, and it was almost ready to start recently. If anyone participates, just participate. It doesn't matter if no one participates.
After Chen Hong left, Zhu Houcong also stopped for a short time. He just read books in the room and cultivated his health. He had already felt the murderous intention on the battlefield, but it is impossible for him not to kill people in the future.
This is not very realistic, it is no longer freedom, it has become a shackles that binds oneself.
"Your Majesty can still think of me, and I am honored to do so."
"Come on, why don't I come with you to drink tea and chat when I have nothing to do? I'm very happy to have retired at home recently. I see you feel a lot younger." Zhu Houcong no longer had the majesty of the past, and he looked very casual. The two of them
Just like an old friend after a long absence, it is much calmer without the tension of the past.
"It's not bad. I haven't congratulated your majesty on winning the battle. What are your majesty going to do about the border? Will you continue to fight?" Yang Tinghe's face was red, and he felt very comfortable when he saw that he was living a small life.
"This is an expected thing. You really think that I am not prepared at all. I have sent Chen Hong to talk about the matter on the border. I think the fight should not be fought. It can be regarded as a peace talk." After there is no conflict, the two sides can communicate.
Much kindness.
"Oh? This doesn't seem to be His Majesty's character. And after this is over, he shouldn't be invincible, right?" Yang Tinghe was a little surprised. This doesn't seem to be His Majesty's character. His Majesty usually eats more and takes more.
Don't take advantage of the bastard. You clearly have the advantage this time, so why don't you fight?
"It's definitely possible to win, it's impossible not to be defeated, but why should I fight? What benefits can I get if I win? I plan to establish a trade channel. If I want to make money, I have to do business." Zhu Houcong said.
gave him a meaningful smile.
Why did the great powers open the door of the Qing government to trade after a few years? Isn't it just making money? They dumped domestic products and obtained a large amount of raw materials. In fact, this was much faster than robbing.
Yang Tinghe shook his head helplessly, knowing that His Majesty would not give up and establish trade. Isn't this unilaterally cutting leeks? Although he didn't know what cutting leeks meant, that's what his son said.
Leeks, when they grow, cut them with a knife, and then they will grow back after a while. The previous fairy medicine incident should be the so-called cutting of leeks. Anyway, many people were cut miserably.
Your Majesty is extremely rich. The 100 million yuan in the treasury has not been used up yet. It seems that it has started to be moved into it recently.
In fact, it’s good to think about it from another angle. At least after doing this, the national treasury will not be short of money. Like when he was the first assistant, he had a headache every day because of insufficient money. He needed to spend money everywhere.
, there is money down there, but there is no money in the treasury.
What to do if you don't have money? You can't do anything without money. You can only live frugally and see if you can dig some out from between your teeth.
