Give Shanxi merchants customs clearance authority?
Ru Jin was surprised. Once the Shanxi merchants were given authority, it would mean the bankruptcy of the policy of blocking the Northern Yuan Dynasty during the Taizu period, and it would also mean the de facto trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Ministry of Rites will not agree to this matter."
Ru Ru reminded.
Although Shanxi merchants went out to do business, it was not for Oara or Tatars to come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, but it was for trade.
In the Ming Dynasty, doing business with Beiyuan was not a business matter, but a matter of etiquette related to the country. It was not managed by the customs or immigration department, but by the Ministry of Rites...
Chen Di of the Ministry of Rites was an old minister of Hongwu and was relatively stubborn. In addition, Zhu Yunwen advocated the reform of the Imperial College. The Ministry of Rites often found trouble for Zhu Yunwen. When this matter was reported to the Ministry of Rites, it was inevitable that it would cause another turmoil.
Zhu Yunwen understood Ru Yun's worries, looked at Jie Jin, and said: "The policies implemented during the Taizu period may not be applicable to the present. Our scouts and strength are not enough to accurately grasp the dynamics of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so we bought the territory with the killing of Ha Shiha." As for Bala Lai, you all know that the information sent by Daning Mansion is extremely rough and simple, with only a few sentences!"
"On the other hand, the Shanxi merchants, who went deep into the Yuan court, not only recorded the entire process of the Yuan court incident, but also found out the general direction of the Yuan court tribes, and clearly investigated the overt and covert struggles between the Oara and the Tatars. More importantly, , these businessmen have vision and experience, and can judge the personalities of the leaders of the various forces in the Yuan Dynasty."
"Chang Qianli said that Hashiha may not be arrogant or willful, saying that Mahamu secretly accumulates strength and is a powerful eagle. Arutai believes in the Golden Family... Such precious information is enough to influence Ming Dynasty's judgment of the current situation. , except for the Shanxi merchants, who can take on this important task? Xie Jin, you can convince Chen Di about this matter, but it must be kept confidential and cannot be spread outside."
Xie Jin agreed: "I accept the decree."
Now it's not a question of who to use, but who can bring more intelligence.
Xu Huizu suddenly thought of something and asked Zhu Yunwen: "Datong came to report, saying that Shanxi merchants had exchanged 500 horses and 300 colts from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and intended to give the horses to the court in exchange for ignoring the past. In the future, Jin If the merchant clears the customs, do you want to exchange all the horses?"
"The imperial court is seriously short of horses. It would be a good thing if we could get more horses."
Zhu Di agreed with Xu Huizu's idea.
Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Exchanging war horses may not be feasible. We all know that the conflict between Oara and Tatar is imminent. They will strictly control the outflow of horses to preserve their strength. Going to Beiyuan in the future can only improve wool. value……"
"this……"
Xu Huizu, Zhu Di, Xie Jin and others looked at each other in confusion. Anyone with some knowledge would know that the Fugui Hall in the capital was opened by the queen, and that the person behind the scenes was the person in front of him.
Your Majesty, you can't always make fun of state affairs just to make some money for yourself...
But no one dared to say.
It seems that Zhu Yunwen is planning to gain more of Beiyuan's wool.
Timurid Empire, Samarkand.
General Gesuyedin hurriedly entered the palace, followed by four guards carrying the door panel. A person was covered tightly on the door panel, with only one head exposed. His face was covered with frostbite, and his mouth was stuffed with rags.
"You guys wait outside."
After giving instructions, Gesuyedin entered the main hall and reported to Timur, who was dealing with government affairs: "Great Khan, a man who was about to freeze to death in Hague City, Shalu, was found. His identity was unusual, so he sent him here."
Timur raised his head, looked deeply at Gesuyedin, and said majestically: "Unusual status? Who is worthy of being sent here?"
Gaisuyedin was oppressed by the powerful majesty and had to lower his head and replied: "The son of Boljijin Elbek, Benya is missing!"
"A baby only weighs a pound?!"
Timur's eyes lit up.
Borjijin is the clan name of Genghis Khan! Timur claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan, and the people here could be considered "relatives" to some extent.
"I remember that Elbek (who bought Libala) was the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty. How did his son come to our country? Could it be that someone lied?"
Timur calmed down and asked.
Gesuyedin frowned, feeling a little worried, and said: "The Shalu Hague City did not give any more information, but my subordinates thought that since someone sent it here, they would know the authenticity if they asked. If it is an impostor, Just behead him, if he is really the son of Elbek of the Yuan Dynasty, then it will be a great opportunity for the Great Khan."
Timur laughed, and the sound became louder and louder until it resounded throughout the hall.
Gesuyedin is right. If it is Benya Shili, the son of Elbek, then the Timurid Empire will have a sufficient excuse to enter the Yuan Ting's sphere of influence, solve the Yuan Ting, and bring it back to Tie. The Mu'er Empire, then he is the greatest figure after Genghis Khan!
"Bring him in!"
Timur was full of expectations.
The guards carried the person into the main hall. Timur leaned over and looked at Benya Shili, whose face was covered with frostbite. Seeing that his mouth was gagged, he couldn't help but frown and asked: "Why is this?"
Gesuyedin quickly explained: "Dhan, this man not only has physical injuries, but also has many frostbites. Even two of his toes were frozen. In order to heal him, they had to be cut off. Now that his body is warm, Naturally, he was itching all over his body, and he wanted to reach out and scratch it, which caused the wound to worsen, so he had to take the next step and tied him up and gagged him, in case he couldn't help but commit suicide."
After hearing the explanation, Timur couldn't help but nodded, looked at Benyashili's trembling eyes, and asked, "Are you really Benyashili, the son of Elbek?"
Benya nodded painfully, whining and unable to make a sound.
"Let him talk!"
Timur said impatiently.
The guards on the side quickly took off the rag from Benyashili's mouth. Benyashili shouted loudly: "I am Benyashili, the son of the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, Timur. If you are really ambitious, raise your troops and enter." Come on, Yuan Ting, as long as you kill King Hua Shiha, I am willing to give you the entire grassland!"
Timur looked at Benya Shili coldly, shook his head slightly, and said: "What I want, it is not your turn to give it to me. The army of Timur Empire will conquer it for me! Say it, Hashhana What did the guy do?”
"He killed my father, he killed Yuanting Khan! I want revenge!"
Benya struggled, twisted his body and shouted.
Timur's eyes turned cold and he shouted sternly: "Hashiha, you are seeking death!"
Although I have never seen Ha Shiha, due to my position as the "Great Khan", any of the following crimes will not be tolerated. This is the same reason that the Ming Dynasty could not tolerate Annan Hu Jiya's murder of the Chen family and usurpation of the throne.
The ruler has the status and dignity of the ruler, and the need to maintain the supreme status. Any usurpation of the throne, murder of the monarch, or rebellion will not be accepted by the ruler.
Timur said to Benyasili: "You can rest assured and cultivate here.
After I defeat the Ottoman Empire and resolve my worries, I will take you on an eastern expedition! This time, I will not only capture Yili, but also recapture Helin, recapture the Onan River, and defeat the Ming court! "
Benya's eyes widened in confusion. He knew that Timur was an ambitious man, but he didn't expect that his ambition was so great!
That’s fine!
Anyway, I already have nothing, so if I take Timur back and destroy everything, I won’t lose anything!
Hashiha, just wait, I will definitely take revenge!
Timur arranged for people to take Benyasili away and take good care of him, and then said to Gesuyedin: "I heard the news that not long ago, the black Erhuo died in the hands of the Ming army. This is true. ?"
Qasuyeddin was not sure and replied cautiously: "The black firemen control Yili. They captured Hatz and Zhuo last year and Turpan at the beginning of this year. They are hyping up the Quran and converting it there." As Dar Islam. There are rumors that he tried to sneak attack Hami in winter, but failed. As for whether he is alive or dead, there is no accurate information yet. "
"It seems that the strength of the Ming Dynasty cannot be underestimated! Yili controls the path of our Eastern Expedition. Hei Erhuo is a person who knows the current affairs. He has been preparing for us for a long time to prepare food and wages for the Eastern Expedition. Whether he dies or not is not important. The important thing is that there can be no accidents with this batch of food and salary! Go and investigate and find out whether he is alive or dead. If he dies, who will be in charge!"
Timur said seriously.
Gesuyedin quickly agreed and persuaded without confidence: "Great Khan, the soldiers of the Timurid Empire have been fighting for a long time and have suffered a lot of losses. At the moment, we are not considering the western expedition to the Ottoman Empire or the eastern expedition to Yili and the Ming Dynasty. , you should cultivate for three to five years, reorganize the army, and then plan for a great cause."
Timur glared at Gesuyedin, and his cold eyes made Gesuyedin kneel down quickly.
"I'll give you twenty months to prepare for the western expedition to the Ottoman Empire. No delay!"
Timur ordered without refusal.
Gesuyedin's face was full of bitterness and helplessness, but he still gritted his teeth and accepted the order.
It can't be done, it must be done!
Gesuyedin also knew that the reason why Timur was so anxious was that he was worried that he would not have much time left. After all, he was already old and could still conquer the west and east for a few more years. He was eager to create the greatest achievement in his last years. The great Timur Empire is as good as Genghis Khan!
To the west of Hangai Mountain, it is the place where the new Yuan Dynasty is stationed as pastoralist.
Borji Jin Kun Timur was sitting in the big tent, and he finally felt the sadness and absurd reason behind the purchase.
Before being promoted as the Great Khan, Maidilibala was not a fatuous and lustful person, but when the current situation raised him to the position of the Great Khan, he fell.
The fundamental reason for his degeneration is not that he wants to degenerate, but that someone forces him to degenerate!
He can't do anything, and anything he does is courting death.
Just like yourself!
Kun Timur's hand holding the wine glass suddenly exerted force, and the silver wine glass was squeezed out of shape.
He is the Great Khan, but the real power lies in the hands of Ha Shiha. In the final analysis, he is just a puppet similar to the bought Libala. Apart from drinking and having fun, apart from being addicted to women, and other than being ignorant, there is no other way to live. Already...
Harshha will not allow a smart person to live, nor will he tolerate a potential threat to live. What is ridiculous is that only the worse and more incompetent he behaves, the safer he will be!
Kun Timur said to himself painfully: "Is this the way for puppets to survive? Ha..."
