This plan to prepare for a rainy day for self-protection was very successful. Not only did it extend its vision to every corner of the Ming Dynasty with the help of the Guchen Party, it also directly influenced the political situation of the court and unknowingly carried out the Ming Dynasty.

He carried out countless reforms, cut off his cancer, and allowed him to begin to develop healthily. He also changed the direction of the Ming Dynasty carriage that was rolling toward the cliff, and made him set off for ZTE. Mao Wenlong felt inferior even though he was proud of it.

Sad.

"An army, a powerful army, is very dangerous if it is not controlled by the government, and the outcome will be catastrophic. But even a loyal army like ours has to spend huge energy to

To fight for our own survival, let me tell you openly today. If it had not been for Mao Shuai’s proper arrangements and the Emperor’s unwavering trust and support, which eliminated the forces that must kill us, what would have been the final outcome? The final outcome would be, for

All of us here and the millions of people behind us need to survive. In order to survive for the tens of millions of people who are closely related to us, we have to react. This is a lesson learned from the past."

Everyone here was silent. For those who had some ideas, in fact, at the beginning, he could see that people like him had only two ways to go in the future. One was to be willing to be killed, and the other was to rebel against oneself.

Save.

In fact, many military commanders' rebellions in history were caused by civilian officials and the imperial court who forced them to defend themselves.

"We have spent all our efforts to get to where we are today, and have eliminated a great chaos, so that the Ming Empire, which was already riddled with holes, and the suffering Han nation were not made worse by the blood of our own people.

So this time the grassland army, which is planning to expand to 150,000 troops, is no longer under the control of the imperial court, then the original story will continue to happen."

Mao Wenlong stood up and concluded: "That's why I won't give you financial, food and material support. At the same time, the grassland army's logistics materials should also be handled by the court. That's their responsibility."

Mao Chengyong was relieved.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs will pay for it. In this way, according to our equipment treatment, the grassland army will need at least four to five million in expenses in the first year of establishing the army. Then, we can release four to five million silver dollars to the Central Plains market.

, This also solves the problem of our military expenditure. From now on, the grassland army will consume two to three million dollars every year, and we can put two million dollars of American silver into the market. As long as we do not disrupt the Central Plains market, we will have intangible income.

For two to three million silver dollars, we must do such a good thing, we must do it."

"And your worry about the lack of output in the grassland is actually even more unfounded. Things are all about how things are done. The reason why the grassland people have always been controlled by the Central Plains Dynasty is because they are stupid. Now I have a smart father.

, plus a smart you, and these smart brothers I sent over. In less than three years, the entire Mongolia will not only return to us, but will also become our big granary and the richest material base. It will also be our Dongjiang River.

The town’s salt and ironware sales base is also the dumping ground for Ming Dynasty’s excess materials.” Then he slapped his head in pain: “I was confused. When I destroyed the human clan, I wanted to establish my authority and make them fear me.

We surrendered to us by force. As a result, the young prince completely misunderstood my intention and actually launched a massacre against the Mongols. If you kill them all, who will give us grazing cattle and sheep and provide a steady stream of meat to the people of the Central Plains?

, provide furs, and who develop the Mongolian grassland for us, allowing them to continuously provide us with food, various medicinal materials, iron ore and coal.

Who consumes our excess industrial and agricultural products, and who consumes my excess salt and steel for us. I have heard that in the past, the border army used taxes on the exchange of goods to allow them to have ample food and clothing, even ordinary people in the northwest border

, weaving dustpans and earthen baskets allowed them to have food and clothing without worries. The results are now good, the tax revenue at the border has been greatly reduced, and the earthen baskets of the people in the northwest are no longer marketable. My salt sales have also been reduced by half every year.

Aren’t you trying to be too smart for your own good?”

Mao Chenglu's arrogant criticism of a prince's policies towards his father was actually criticizing the emperor's actions. He could only dare to get angry but dare not speak out.

In fact, the political atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is actually quite good. They often write memorials, go through the eighteen generations of the emperor's ancestors, and curse in front of the emperor. In the end, they can only get a slap in the face from the emperor.

On the contrary, these ministers who dared to scold the emperor gained points in their reputation. Therefore, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty now have to find something to scold the emperor no matter what.

What's more, Mao Wenlong is still qualified to scold.

"What should I do if the child enters the grassland?"

"Of course you have to win over them, be gentle with them, and then take out the elite soldiers and strong generals among them for your use. But according to normal people's thinking, if you want to win over them, be gentle with them, you have to use a lot of money.

Give them real money and silver. It is said that the emperor is now planning to use one-third of his internal funds to reward those Mongols. I think that is definitely something a fool would do."

"If I don't give them a reward, how can they appreciate my kindness?" Mao Chengyong was a little confused.

Mao Wenlong pointed to his head proudly: "Use your brain and think of a way. Think of how to not give them things for nothing, but also make them grateful to us. This is the really smart way."

Everyone just held their heads and thought hard, but due to the limited thinking of this era, everyone really couldn't think of any solution.

Mao Wenlong just smiled: "I won't tell you about others, but you, Mao Chengyong, were once half a scholar. The sage has already taught you how to do it."

"any solution?"

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." Mao Wenlong directly reminded Mao Chengyong.

Three pounds of salt are exchanged for one sheep for our lovely comrade. What a heinous black-hearted businessman. Now, you brothers, don’t be afraid of anyone when you go to the grassland. I will support you, and then you will stand with Mongolia.

In front of the robe, we must fight resolutely against those black-hearted Central Plains merchants for our single-minded compatriots on the grasslands. A sheep is no longer three pounds of salt, but a real tael of silver. It is

Yes, it’s silver, cash silver, and we won’t sell it unless we give one tael of silver. Then, hey, they need salt, we buy it, and we give them one tael of silver and ten catties of salt. They need tea, and we sell it for two taels of silver.

They need hada and silk, so we sell them.

In this way, you are their patron saint and spokesperson. In this way, if they don't love you, they will become ghosts.

Looking at his godsons with their mouths wide open one by one, Mao Wenlong waved his hand: "But, in this way, has your mission been completed? No, you not only protect their interests wholeheartedly, but you also have to take the lead in making them rich.

people."

Leader in getting rich? This term sounds fresh.

"You want them to raise more cattle and sheep, raise more donkeys, mules and horses, produce more cheese, and dig more medicinal materials. As you know, the people in the Central Plains are already rich now. They can't eat meat in their whole life. They only eat meat once a year. It's so difficult.

The days of poverty are gone forever. The current situation in the Central Plains is that the ocean is flowing in the world, but there is money in the hands, but there is no meat. What is the reason? The reason is that there is less meat and more money, so this

It's called inflation. Then you will vigorously develop the breeding industry on the grassland, especially sheep.

Sheep are good, um, they can give birth to two babies a year, at least two each time, and they can be put on the market in a year. In principle, a herdsman can earn 4 silver dollars from sheep a year. Then he will

These sheep are sold to merchants, and those merchants are selling these sheep to various parts of the Central Plains. If there is more mutton, the price will naturally drop. This will allow people in various parts of the Central Plains to have money to eat meat.

Cows to cows, two cows every three years, vigorously develop the cattle breeding industry. Now in the Ming Dynasty, each cow is worth fifteen taels of silver. You must know that it was originally eight taels of silver. Even if it is eighty taels of silver, one cow is produced every year, so that

The merchant earns half of it, which is also forty taels of silver. In this way, as long as each herdsman has ten ewes, one ram, ten cows, and one bull, his annual income will be sixty taels of silver. Child

We, a herdsman only has this little, and his annual income is sixty taels of silver per family, which is six times the income of a family in the Central Plains. Why don't they be grateful to you? Why don't they obey you, and why do they still rob our Han people? Why don't they pick up the clothes?

Weapons, follow you and fight the Manchus who want them to be slaves?"

Looking at his godsons who were starting to get excited one by one, Mao Wenlong said solemnly: "It turns out that they were stupid, so you went and asked them to implement our methods. They still can't accept it, so you have to take the lead in doing it."

, The power of examples is huge, and people blindly follow the trend, so you must be their guides, demonstrators, and leaders in getting rich. Only by letting them see real benefits and income will they

They are your followers, followers who cannot be beaten away." Then he looked at Mao Chengyong again: "In this way, your brothers have become the trusted backbone of the Mongols. With them as their backing, you can take the money and food from the court.

, but you no longer have to worry about your men mutiny. And the place is controlled by Liu Xingxian and your brothers, and your soldiers are willing to serve you, then the grassland army, the entire grassland, is no longer ours, echoing from the north to the south

, Who else in the world dares to touch us? Why should we create a rainy day plan that would make everyone uncomfortable? Are you free?"
