Chapter 334: Dalong’s First Snow
He glanced disdainfully at Mr. Liu, who had taken advantage of him and behaved well: "Go on. →Baba Reading≥"
"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 fine 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 are 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 should I 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 Turks' survival lifeline 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, business travel will be blocked, and the Yingzhou border will be guarded by soldiers. How should the people live? Where are the people on the grassland? Without the exquisiteness silk, delicious tea and fine wine, all the good life that Dalong brought to them in the past would be gone. "Eight" Eight "Reading" Book, 2■3o⊥"
"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 their hearts because he ended their rich and beautiful life."
Li Zheng suddenly stood up: "A nation that depends on the dragon for life and food, I can cut off everything they have with just one imperial edict. How can such Turks threaten the dragon? It has not only weakened their military morale and the people's morale, but also the dragon has lost everything." 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. The dog is in a hurry and jumps 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? Hit 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 inappropriate to say that a businessman was humble at the moment.
Young Master Liu looked embarrassed and could only pretend that he had not heard these words: "I deserve it."
"Liu Aiqing, you gave me a unique war today. It turns out that war can 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 Liu Aiqing's words been recorded clearly?"
"When I return to my father's palace, 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 able to be unified with your help. God. It’s not beautiful.”
"Your Majesty is joking. Even if I am born twenty years later, I will still be 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 that there is still a lot to say that I am unhappy 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 dimmed. 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 came 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? 11
