Gao Yangzhi's eyes were shining.
This cabinet minister, who was originally praised by Zhu Yunxi and became increasingly calm and restrained, gradually became a little moved and was moving in the direction of being rude.
However, Gao Yangzhi's mouth kept mumbling silently.
Guarantee a high ratio of price difference between goods, and ensure that both parties will have their own hands at the end of the transaction, whether it is gold, silver or goods.
"There should be a governor-general in the imperial court to supervise the minimum price of the exchange with the grassland. The price of goods sold outside the customs in Ming Dynasty must exceed their own value."
Gao Yangzhi frowned. It was obvious that the young cabinet minister was constantly thinking about various possibilities and plans.
He said: "Only tribal leaders and Mongolian nobles on the grasslands can use porcelain and silk. There was a huge price difference in the past, but now the court only needs to kill them. We, the Ming Dynasty, trade with the grasslands, and we only need cattle and sheep. Rather than asking for things that cannot be accurately measured, such as gems.
It would be best if they could exchange for war horses on the grassland. However, I think that if our dynasty only trades porcelain, silk, tea, etc., the Oara tribe will not be willing to use war horses to trade with each other.
In this way, the imperial court would eventually need to come up with weapons, or at least trade all kinds of iron tools with each other. This is what Oarabu wants most this time, and he is willing to exchange horses for it. "
Fan Chong recalled how the navy generals described the Ming Dynasty's current cabinet before they even got off the ship.
They said that although the Ming Dynasty's cabinet does not have the name of prime minister, it already has the power and the actual status of prime minister.
The young cabinet member opposite was talking nonstop, while Fan Chong had quietly sat upright.
He spoke in a low voice: "Your Highness has never agreed to the soft-footed horse's request for weapons from the Ming Dynasty."
Gao Yangzhi nodded: "So, if you want to weaken the power outside the pass, you need to start with those herdsmen. When the two sides trade with each other, they will not be in the name of the court, but in the personal name of the European Supervisor."
Gao Yangzhi stared at Fan Chong with a faint gaze.
Zhu Yunxi also turned his head silently and looked at Fan Chong, who had a somewhat puzzled face.
Fan Chong shrank his head: "Why does Gao Ge Lao want to be demoted?"
"The European Supervisor is not from our Ming Dynasty. Although he is an official of our court now, the European Supervisor still has the identity of a European merchant." Gao Yangzhi looked at Fan Chong with a warm look and said with a smile: "When the time comes However, the European eunuchs were still required to carry the iron tools prepared by the imperial court outside the customs in the name of personal business, and exchange cattle and sheep with the herdsmen.
There is a shortage of iron outside the customs. Maybe a small community can only have one iron pot. This is something that can bring far higher value than porcelain, silk, and tea.
Iron pots and other items were used to trade cattle and sheep with herdsmen, while silk, porcelain, tea and other items were used to trade cattle and sheep and other items with tribal leaders and nobles outside the pass.
The leaders of the Oara tribe will definitely be dissatisfied with what the Ou Supervisor is doing, but behind the Ou Supervisor is our Ming Dynasty, and they will probably not dare to do anything.

"If you are a herdsman outside the customs, you have worked hard to herd cattle and sheep and trade iron tools and other items with us. Then they will be taken away by the tribal leaders, and the leaders will not even think of giving you any compensation. , are you willing for something like this to happen?"
Gao Yang asked indifferently, leaning back on the chair and staring at Fan Chong with a faint gaze.
Fan Chong raised his head and said, "Of course I don't want to do that!"
Gao Yangzhi asked again: "But the leaders of the Oara tribe like Mahamu can recruit armies that are good at fighting. You are just a member of a small group. Do you dare to resist?"
Fan Chong thought about it seriously.
If it were in Europa, being king... No! When a count wants to take something from his home, if he is just an ordinary civilian, would he dare to resist?
Don't dare!
Fan Chong was helpless when he got an accurate answer. He shook his head: "I don't dare."
"But will you feel resentment in your heart because of this?" Gao Yangzhi took some time to rest. As he spoke, he glanced at the emperor's grandson behind the book with a smile.
The court's transaction with the Oara tribe and the centrifugal situation on the grassland still need Fan Chong, a barbarian, to handle it. Now they must let the other party know how this matter will happen.
Fan Chong raised his head again. He seemed to have become an ordinary person on the other side of Europa, and was being robbed of his family's belongings by those marquis and counts.
Fan Chong had a sullen expression on his face and nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Gao Yangzhi chuckled and said, "That's it. My Ming Dynasty's strategy has become seven or eighty at this point."
"Is this a 70% or 80% difference? But nothing has changed on the grassland..."
Facing Fan Chong's confusion, Gao Yangzhi shook his head repeatedly.
"No." Gao Yangzhi said in a deep voice: "At that time, the European Supervisor will once again need to take the ethnic groups on the Iron Road grassland to trade cattle and sheep with them at a slightly lower value than last time. . We should also let the herdsmen who had their things robbed know that it was because the European emissary learned about what happened on the grassland that he went there again and traded with them at a lower value."
"Then what?"
Fan Chong was completely confused. He had no idea that such an operation could be done or that it could be done like this.
And he didn't even know what would happen to the grassland after doing this.
Gao Yangzhi said: "Then we wait, waiting for the leaders of the Oara tribe to once again snatch away the things that the herdsmen traded back with their cattle and sheep with the European emissary."
Fan Chong's eyes widened, completely confused as to what this set of operations was for.
Co-authoring is just like being a transporter, constantly delivering the iron tools to the grassland herdsmen, and then waiting for the tribal leaders to snatch the things away from the herdsmen before sending a new batch. .
Zhu Yunxi laughed out loud, nodded, and looked sideways at Fan Chong: "As long as you do what Gao Chunfeng wants, you can arouse the anger in the hearts of the herdsmen more and more. I think... maybe You only need to do this three or five times, and if you get the right opportunity, the grassland will become chaotic on its own."
Gao Yangzhi nodded and said, "What His Highness said is true, and I have another strategy to create this opportunity when there is a natural disaster on the grassland."
Zhu Yunxi looked back at Gao Yangzhi. He stared at him calmly and slowly said two words: "Food!"
The word grain is spoken.
Zhu Yunxi and Gao Yangzhi looked at each other in tacit understanding, and both of them smiled silently and chuckled.
What exactly is growing in Akito's head?
Fan Chong listened on the sidelines and felt that even though he had ten brains, he no longer understood what these words meant.
Obviously I can understand every word, but it seems like I don't understand anything.
Gao Yangzhi waved some of his robes and said softly: "This is what I have practiced on the Jiaozhi Road. When I went to Duoxia Annan, I changed it into a road. I used the power of the army to control the good land in the Jiaozhi Road. Out. Subsequently, all the strategies implemented have no disadvantages.
As long as the imperial court began to determine the mutual trade with the grassland and trade grain. Now that we have the advantage of sweet potatoes, we can ensure that enough sweet potatoes are sent to the grassland, slowly expand the number sent, and squeeze or spoil the food produced on the grassland.
The imperial court will slowly control the source of food on the grassland step by step, making the grassland quietly develop a sense of dependence. Wait until that time, and then cooperate with the centrifugal situation.
All it takes is a white disaster for the imperial court to immediately cut off the grain trade with the grassland. The Oara tribe, which has lost its food source, will only be able to target the weakest herdsmen.
And when the herdsmen have nothing more to take away, the game has reached a point of 100%. At that time, the grassland was at the mercy of my Ming Dynasty, and I could take whatever I wanted. "
Akito is so scary!
Fan Chong was shocked.
It is absolutely impossible for me to imagine such a heart-wrenching situation, let alone accomplish it alone.
He sighed deeply: "I'm afraid it will take four or five years to complete this game."
"The Ming Dynasty never lacks time. What it lacks is the right opportunities and the right people."
Chen, the youngest cabinet minister in the empire, said calmly.
His raised eyes stared deeply at Fan Chong sitting opposite.
On the bookcase, the sound of horse hooves tapping was heard again, and Zhu Yunxi said: "Emperor Ou has the ambition to go through fire and water for the Ming Dynasty. Now the court will spend four or five years of Eunuch's time going outside the customs to handle this matter. I don't know Eunuch Ou." Are you willing?"
Gao Yangzhi echoed from the side: "This time Mahamu of the Oara tribe entered the court, the cabinet had discussed before that if there was a mutual trade, there should be important ministers at the border to manage it. The cabinet believed that there should be courtiers with the title of Imperial Procuratorate and Ministry of Rites. , sit outside the pass."
This is a perfect match for the monarch and his ministers.
Fan Chong was already staring at stars.
He didn't understand the rules of appointing officials in the imperial court, but he understood what important ministers meant.
"I am willing to go to the border to share the worries of His Highness!"
Fan Chong responded without thinking.
Seeing that the barbarian merchant who had traveled across the ocean from Europe agreed, Zhu Yunxi stood up with a smile and walked in front of the other party.
Fan Chong stood up quickly, nodding his head and bowing in a pious and respectful manner.
Zhu Yunxi patted Fan Chong on the shoulder from behind: "The imperial court has agreed on the mutual trade outside the customs. When the time comes, your official position as the European Supervisor will be promoted. A doctor in the Ministry of Rites and a censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will still have the official title One piece."
Gao Yangzhi also stood up and glanced casually at Fan Chong's green official robe that he had never changed out of: "Mr. Zhong of the Ministry of Rites holds the title of fifth rank and wears a green robe."
Fan Chong has been immersed in the dream of being promoted.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi and said, "In order for the European Supervisor to be able to do things smoothly, I have to go to Linyuan to ask Master Yuan about the sweet potatoes."
Gao Yangzhi immediately stepped forward. When Taisun's hand took away from Fan Chong's shoulder, he put his hand on Fan Chong's shoulder: "I will send the Ou Supervisor back to the Huitong Hall."
Fan Chong was several inches shorter and his face was flushed.
faint.
It's really a bit dizzying.
…
"After Mahamu and others entered the Hui Tong Pavilion, they did not go out. In the meantime, they just asked the people from the Hui Tong Pavilion to temporarily place the things they brought with them at the Wuman Station next to them."
On the way out of Taisun's Mansion and on the way to the Shanglinyuan Supervisory Office outside the East City, Tian Mai followed Zhu Yunxi on his horse and reported in a low voice the movements of the people in the Wala tribe.
Zhu Yunxi nodded, but in his mind he was thinking about the situation outside the customs in recent years that he had reviewed today.
Zhu Di led the troops in Peking Dusi deep into Mobei several times, and together with Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others, they struck and weakened the Mongolian Tatar tribe on the east side of the Great Wall many times.
On the other side of the Daning Dusi, they frequently penetrated deep into the northeast. The Ming Dynasty's garrison and fortress continued to advance northward from outside Shanhaiguan, trying to capture the entire black land.
Oarabu saw that at this time, Daming’s energy was mainly consumed by growing
The Mongolian Tatar tribe on the east side of the city was involved, so I spotted this possible time of development and tried every means to strengthen myself.
We cannot give the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty on the grassland a chance to breathe!
Exited Chaoyang Gate.
Zhu Yunxi spoke softly: "Send people outside the pass to spread the name of Mahamu as the first warrior in the grassland before he returns to Wala."
Tian Mai bowed and accepted the order: "I understand."
When a group of people arrived outside the gate of Shanglinyuan Prison.
Zhu Yunxi, who had not been here for a long time, couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his face.
Turning over and dismounting, Zhu Yunxi looked at the empty and unguarded yamen entrance. Several plump hens were pacing back and forth leisurely on the steps.
From behind the Yamen, the sounds of ducks and geese can be heard from time to time.
Suddenly, a dog barked in the yamen.
For a moment, the poultry, which were originally leisurely, suddenly became chaotic.
Zhu Yunxi watched helplessly as a group of big geese spread their wings out of the Yamen with a long string of black spots trailing behind them.
Several guards immediately stepped forward to block the chaotic scene.
"Did you go to the wrong place?"
Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised and looked back at Tian Mai beside him in surprise.
Tian Mai's face was tense. As a secret guard, they naturally knew about the changes in the Shanglin Garden Supervisor.
It's just that the grandson never asked about this change, and there was no need for him to talk about it.
It's just a trivial matter.
When the grandson asked about it, Tian Mai just said: "For a while, according to what my subordinates and others have inquired about, the young master said that he wanted the people to eat more meat, so he tried to see if the imperial court could unify the large-scale Raise poultry and then sell it to the people at cost price, or subsidize the children in the school."
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows. He was planning grassland strategies, partly to solve the problems of the Ming Dynasty on the nine frontiers, and also to purchase beef and mutton so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could be stronger.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Sutai, the young master of the Ming Dynasty, had such an idea.
Tian Mai continued: "Young Master feels that if young people are strong, Ming Dynasty will be strong. My Ming Dynasty has the smartest people and the most powerful weapons. But Young Master feels that my children of Ming Dynasty must also be stronger and cannot lose to those on the grassland. Those people."
Zhu Yunxi had a gentle smile on his face.
"The little old man doesn't plan to take a day off."
"Go and find out what he's doing."
"I'm going to Linyuan Prison today ready to rob someone!"
