He glanced disdainfully at Mr. Liu, who had taken advantage of him and behaved well: "Go on. Mobile version https:m."
"Your Majesty, compared to the life of the Turks before, the arrival of our caravan has improved them by several levels. The grassland people live a rough and unruly life, while the life of Dalong is delicate and exquisite. After the baptism of the caravan, they
Once you get used to wearing silk, you will no longer get used to rough animal skins. When you get used to eating carefully prepared food, and when you are no longer used to the daily barbecue, tea and wine will become a habit, and the fishy smell of cow's milk and goat's milk will no longer be difficult to drink.
Swallow, what will happen?"
Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you saying that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality?"
"Your Majesty, the Turks have become accustomed to these things, but their people who know how to farm have been deceived by the small profits of the caravans, and the land has been spread again by weeds, so they need these silk teas and fine wines
What to do with the things, they can only be obtained from Dalong’s caravan.”
Li Zheng's eyes narrowed: "You mean?"
"It seems that Your Majesty has understood a little bit. When our Dalong merchants establish a foothold, all Turkic items can only be purchased from Dalong's caravans, and the lifeblood of Turkic life can only be held in Dalong's hands.
"
"If you want to stir up trouble on the border of Dalong, your majesty will sit in the capital and issue an imperial edict. The merchants will be closed and business travel will be blocked. The border of Yingzhou will be guarded by soldiers. How should the people live? Where are the people on the grassland? There is no beauty.
Without the silk, delicious tea and fine wine, all the good life that Dalong brought them before would be gone."
"But the end of these things is not due to Dalong's cruelty. It's just due to their leader starting a war. Then the person who started the war will lose the hearts of the people, because he ended their rich and beautiful life."
Li Zheng suddenly stood up: "A nation that depends on Dalong for life and food, I can cut off everything they have with just one imperial edict. How can such Turks threaten Dalong? It has not only weakened their military morale and people's morale, but Dalong has also
After harvesting the war horses, the people have meat, the merchants have money, the treasury has tax revenue, and the food has money, I can steadily develop the army, and achieve multiple things with one stone."
"Your Majesty, that's good. That's what I said."
"But what if they jump over the wall in a hurry?"
"Your Majesty, the war horses, meat, and money obtained from the Turks are not dead things. While the Turks are being consumed, the dragon's military strategy is also developing. It's easy to jump over the wall. Okay, the Turks are weak, and the dragon is strong. He
What should we do when we are weak and we are strong? Beat him, just say it, don’t be cowardly, just do it, beat him to a bloody head in one go, give them a long memory, even if Jin Guo wants to help, he can’t
I have to take off one of his teeth."
The prince's eyes gradually brightened, and he obviously understood the key.
"Liu Aiqing, I finally know what a clever plan is to settle the world. The business war you are talking about is a clever plan to settle the world. It is even worse than the grace order. I never thought that a lowly businessman could have such a use."
It seemed that he realized that the young master Liu in front of him was a merchant's son with good roots. Li Zhengcai realized that it was not appropriate for him to say that a merchant was humble at the moment.
Young Master Liu looked embarrassed and could only pretend that he had not heard these words: "I feel ashamed of myself."
"Liu Aiqing, you gave me a unique war today. It turns out that war can still be played like this. It has opened my eyes to other types of war besides military war."
"I feel ashamed to receive it, and I feel ashamed to receive it."
"Prince, have you recorded everything Liu Aiqing said clearly?"
"Go back to my father, and all my sons and ministers will be recorded in the book."
Li Zheng stood up and stretched: "I didn't expect it was already so late. It's been a long time since I've been so sleepless and forgetful about eating and sleeping in front of my king and ministers. If Liu Aiqing had been born twenty years earlier, I wouldn't have to worry about the world not being unified with your help. God.
It’s not beautiful.”
"Your Majesty is joking. Even if I am born twenty years late, I am still willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty."
"Really? Liu Aiqing is indeed a loyal person. I won't let you go to the mountains of swords or the sea of fire. How about giving 10% of the profits from the coal business to the prince?"
Li Zheng looked at Young Master Liu with slightly narrowed eyes, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, let's talk about the Turkic issue. I feel like there is still a lot to talk about."
"Forget it, 10% profit is like killing you, and it's snowing?" Li Zheng originally wanted to tease Mr. Liu, but snowflakes actually started to fall in the sky.
It was snowing, and the sky suddenly darkened. Many eunuchs began to get busy lighting palace lanterns. The red lanterns illuminated the falling snowflakes from the sky, making it as beautiful as a fairy tale world.
"It's so beautiful. The snow in Dalong is more beautiful than the snow anywhere. The first snowfall in the 26th year of Xuande's reign was later than in previous years. The carriage parked at the palace gate should have taken away the last falling snow this year.
It’s time to celebrate the New Year with the yellow leaves." Li Zheng looked at the snow in the sky with a confused expression.
The corners of Liu Mingzhi's mouth twitched slightly. Why did it seem like he had heard the emperor's words somewhere before?
