As long as there are insects around, there will always be scenes of laughter that can make people laugh.
This man seems to be as full of happiness as the name he gave himself.
Fan Chong entered the small study room of Taisun Mansion. The barbarian, who had begun to regard himself as a thoroughly enlightened man, knelt in front of the desk and expressed his lofty ideals and beliefs that he was willing to go through fire and water for the great cause of the Ming Dynasty.
.
He is like a living treasure.
He talks about all the important matters of life and death between heaven and earth with such joy.
Gao Yangzhi reached out to pick up the empty tea cup and raised his hands in front of him, trying to block his face that was about to burst into laughter.
Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting behind the desk, looked at Tian Mai who was lagging behind and walked in with a slight smile on his face, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Tian Mai was helpless. He had just made such an oversight and let Fan Chong rush into the small study first.
"Fan worm."
Zhu Yunxi muttered something, put his hands on the desk and stood up.
Fan Chong, who knelt down in front of the desk, immediately raised his head and said, "Wei Chen is here, what are your orders from His Highness? Wei Chen will definitely die of exhaustion with all his devotion!"
"It seems that you have read a lot of books recently." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, walked lightly to Fan Chong, squatted down and patted Fan Chong on the back.
Fan Chong put his hands on the ground, and kept kicking his two feet behind him to change his direction, and continued to aim at His Royal Highness.
He said with a smile on his face: "Wei Chen is an official of the imperial court and an official of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he has to read more books."
"It's good to study." Zhu Yunxi affirmed, then looked down at Fan Chong: "Speaking of which, there is a place where you can go and fight for the Ming Dynasty right away, and be wrapped in horse leather."
puff……
Gao Yangzhi on the side finally couldn't help it. He held a tea cup with one hand to cover half of his face, and covered his mouth with the other hand behind him, but some noises still leaked out.
Fan Chong was stunned.
Aren't those words just polite? Why do you seem to take them seriously when it comes to me?
"Your Highness...Weichen...Weichen is willing to go!"
Fan Chong only hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed firmly.
Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "After all, you are from the Ming Dynasty!"
Fan Chong, who was ready to die, immediately smiled on his tense face: "Wei Chen is born as a member of the Ming Dynasty, and dies as a ghost of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Get up and sit down by yourself. I won't pour you tea."
Zhu Yunxi said casually, then returned to the desk and sat down.
The small study is naturally called a small study, but in fact the small study is not small at all.
Deep in the small study room, there are layers of bookshelves that reach the end of the ceiling. The place where Zhu Yunxi lives every day is just the outermost side of the small study room.
Fan Chong carefully poured himself a cup of tea.
Just this set of tea sets randomly placed in Taisun's house is enough to buy the boss a piece of land in Europe.
On those bookshelves, in addition to piles of memorials and court documents, there were even more rare ancient books from the Central Plains that Fan Chong had never heard of before, as well as classic collections from various houses.
The most valuable thing in the Ming Dynasty is not the gorgeous and exquisite utensils, but these books that have been quietly hidden in the years.
Ever since he became an official of the Ming Dynasty and returned to Europa, Fan Chong suddenly had this awakening.
Although he has integrated himself into the people of Ming all the time, Fan Chong still thinks about it from time to time. If he brings all the books of Ming back to Europa, what kind of culture will be nurtured in that land.
Variety.
This is a bold idea, and perhaps a bold attempt.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes are always casual, but he never misses any detail.
The small study room of Taisun Mansion can be said to have the largest collection of books in the entire world besides the imperial palace.
Thanks to the Kong family.
Since the small study was completely built, anyone who walks in here for the first time will be shocked by the collection of books here.
It's just that Fan Chong's gaze is different from anyone else's.
Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "The writing of the Central Plains cannot be read on a piece of paper."
He spoke very decisively and did not give Fan Chong any undue thoughts.
Fan Chong was slightly startled, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze from the bookshelves, and faced the grandson with his hands raised: "I will obey your highness's order and will definitely inform all European businessmen who come to the Ming Dynasty about this rule."
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, he was not worried that these people would sneak away with Zhongyuan books.
All foreign merchant ships will be watched by Jin Yiwei as long as they dock at any dock in Daming. All goods on board will be inspected in advance.
Nanzhen Fusi issued a death order.
As long as a mistake is discovered, the highest level of prosecution will be the first level of the official of Qianhu, Fusi, Beizhen, and the crime will reach the third generation.
No one dares to despise this order, which is only executed within Jinyiwei.
Gao Yangzhi crossed the tea cup in his hands and finally had the chance to pour himself a cup of tea.
The tea has long been cold, and the tea soup brewed in advance in the big teapot is not for drinking tea, but for quenching thirst.
But in the small study room of Taisun Mansion, this has always been the rule.
Pour the tea yourself, and continue reading or doing other things when you are no longer thirsty.
If you want to have a cup of tea, there is a place next to Taisun Mansion where there are birds singing, flowers fragrant, water pavilions and terraces.
Gao Yangzhi drank three cups of tea in a row before he felt satisfied.
Then he looked at Fan Chong who was sitting opposite him with a smile, and said: "His Highness wanted to entrust the European Supervisor with an important task, but I don't know what happened. The cabinet is willing to fully help the European Supervisor to live up to His Highness's expectations."
A matter of trust."
The cabinet is now the largest bureaucracy in the imperial court.
Fan Chong recalled in his mind the instructions given to him by the naval generals who had received the news when he was about to arrive at Yingtian City.
This young man turned out to be an official in the cabinet.
Fan Chong immediately raised his hand to Gao Yang Zhi Gong, then sat on the chair and looked sideways at Zhu Yunxi: "Your Highness, the Emperor's Grandson, I will definitely complete the task and will not let His Highness down."
Zhu Yunxi's palm gently fell on the desk, and he gently turned the square white jade finger: "I want the European Supervisor to go outside the pass, to the grassland, to the depths of Mobei, and to the Oara tribe near Tielianggutan.
"
Every time a location came out of Zhu Yunxi's mouth, Fan Chong's heart skipped a beat.
When finally, when the location of Tielianggutan was revealed, Fan Chong was already a little dizzy.
Everyone knows that the current Oara tribe is in the area of Telianggutan.
If you go north, you can reach the lost point. If you go south, you can also control the inner part.
The emperor's grandson is going to throw himself into the confidant of the Wala tribe!
Mahamu, who just came from the Oara tribe today, was scolded as a soft-footed horse. Now he is about to be sent to the Oara tribe?
Fan Chong was really panicking.
He asked in a low voice: "What does Your Highness want Wei Chen to do?"
After finishing speaking, Fan Chong's face darkened again and he puffed up his chest slightly.
He took two deep breaths to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
"If Your Highness gives Wei Chen 100 people, Wei Chen will set up a trap to assassinate the upper class of Wala. If there are a thousand people, Wei Chen will surround and kill all the upper class of Wala. If Your Highness gives Wei Chen 10,000 people, Wei Chen will lead him now.
The men rushed into the grassland and completely wiped out the Oara tribe!"
Zhu Yunxi chuckled repeatedly.
The green-eyed and red-haired Fanchong in front of you is really timid and brave, making it difficult for people to tell whether he is someone who is not afraid of death or someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Gao Yangzhi smiled slightly and said softly: "Envoy Ou, the Ming Dynasty still has millions of troops, and the Ming Dynasty has not yet needed Envoy Ou to go into battle to kill the enemy."
There is no need to go into battle to kill the enemy.
When Fan Chong heard these appropriate words, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground silently. He groaned and said, "Then what does Your Highness want Wei Chen to do?"
"You just go to the grassland to do business!" Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingers on the desk, and his five fingers moved rhythmically, making a sound like a horse's hooves: "The imperial court will give you enough gold and silver, and will even prepare more for you.
Enough tea, salt, silk, and even a certain amount of ironware, such as pots and pans."
Doing business?
You can do this yourself!
Fan Chong quickly asked: "What kind of business does Your Highness want Wei Chen to do on the grassland?"
"Do your best to buy all the cattle and sheep on the grassland! If you don't succeed in one year, you will have two years. If you don't succeed in two years, keep doing it."
Zhu Yunxi's face was firm, without any hesitation.
"Buy all the cattle and sheep on the grassland?" Fan Chong was a little puzzled. This seemed to be a serious business. Why was there any need to do it by myself?
Gao Yangzhi on the side also looked slightly sideways, looking with some confusion in his eyes at the emperor's grandson who said he wanted to buy up all the cattle and sheep on the grassland.
"On the grasslands outside the Pass, herdsmen graze and breed cattle and sheep as the basis of survival." Gao Yangzhi narrated in a low voice, but his brows couldn't help but frown: "However, the herdsmen outside the Pass do not eat beef and mutton as their main food. Meat is always the main food.
The food will be concentrated in the hands of the tribal leaders and chiefs, while the herdsmen will mostly feed on the milk of cows and goats and some captured prey and wild vegetables."
Gao Yangzhi seemed to want to understand why His Royal Highness, the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly became concerned and wanted to buy up all the cattle and sheep on the grassland.
This is very unreasonable, and no one has ever thought of it like this.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Gao Yangzhi, the youngest member of the cabinet who was about to be assigned to take charge of the empire's foreign affairs.
"Cattle and sheep, like herdsmen, are the foundation of the grassland."
He reminded lightly.
Gao Yangzhi frowned, and various things appeared in his mind, constantly connected together, and rebuilt into a new three-dimensional structure.
When a bright light flashed before his eyes, Gao Yangzhi looked deeply at His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun behind the desk.
Fan Chong also realized that the matter he wanted to do seemed to be something of great significance.
He couldn't help but bend down and stretch his head, asking in a low voice: "What does it mean?"
Gao Yangzhi glanced at Fan Chong, who had a curious expression on his face. He always felt that His Highness might have found the wrong person.
He explained: "Actually, Your Highness does not need you to buy all the cattle and sheep on the grassland, but you must ensure that the cattle and sheep on the grassland cannot maintain the current balance of the herdsmen, tribes, and tribal leaders. As long as this is completed, the European Supervisor will
You have made a great contribution!"
"Balance..." Fan Chong murmured in a low voice, and then said loudly: "Your Highness can actually exchange weapons with that Mahamu for cattle and sheep. At this time, they want the imperial court to give weapons, which can be used to control them.
!”
Gao Yangzhi shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible for the imperial court to send them weapons, but they can send more iron tools to the Wara tribe through the hands of the Oujiang Envoy. Their craftsmanship is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty. The iron tools are smelted and remade.
It will also take a lot of time. Even if there are alien intentions and hidden ambitions, I, the Ming Dynasty, will have enough time to react and mobilize troops and horses to garrison the border fortress."
Fan Chong replied: "We can also sell goods according to the distance of the tribes on the grassland, so that some tribes can keep cattle and sheep, and some tribes should keep as few cattle and sheep as possible. When the time comes..."
Fan Chong let out a sinister laugh.
If not everyone present knew this guy's identity and position, others would probably think that this guy was plotting against Ming Dynasty.
Gao Yangzhi also smiled: "At that time, as long as there is a white disaster outside the customs, even if it is a little colder than previous years, they themselves will be in chaos due to food shortage."
Fan Chong thought of more.
After all, a lot of interesting history has also happened on the land of Europa.
Fan Chong said in a low voice: "Faith...faith on the grassland is too weak. If we can induce...to go to the grassland, we can deprive more tribes of their wealth and prevent the leaders of those tribes from intervening."
Zhu Yunxi stopped tapping his fingers on the desk, and the gentle sound of horse hooves finally stopped.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fan Chong immediately looked over. From the face of the emperor's grandson, he saw a trace of displeasure.
Your Highness Sun, please forgive me."
Zhu Yunxi said softly: "God has no control over the East..."
He looked at Gao Yangzhi on the other side.
"There are many ways to weaken the grassland, and cattle and sheep are just one of them. Gu Yu's purchase of more cattle and sheep is also to allow me, Daming, to eat more meat."
The local people are really short of meat. Even the soldiers in the army can hardly eat meat.
Simply relying on small local households to raise poultry is completely insufficient to supplement the protein intake needs of the vast majority of Ming people.
"The imperial court now has some spare money, and there will be more and more money in the future. This money must be spent before it can be turned into money in the real sense. When there is more and more money outside the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court may one day be able to
You can easily conquer a place without using a large army."
Zhu Yunxi talked about the most superficial knowledge about economic plunder.
He wasn't sure whether Gao Yangzhi could understand it. After all, he didn't know much about this either.
Gao Yangzhi lowered his head and thought for a long time. He didn't know if it was true that the emperor's grandson said that the Ming Dynasty needed more meat. He also didn't know how he could conquer a land without using a large army.
But after a long time, Gao Yangzhi raised his head and said: "The imperial court must create a price difference to ensure that there is a big enough price difference during the transaction process, and the imperial court can quietly evacuate the entire grassland!"
Is Gao Chunfeng about to become enlightened?
Zhu Yunxi blinked and suddenly realized that there were moments when he couldn't keep up with these people's thoughts.
