Gao Yangzhi's eyes were shining.

This cabinet minister, who was originally praised by Zhu Yunxi for becoming 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 differences between goods and ensure that at the end of the transaction, whether it is gold, silver or goods, both parties will be in their own hands.

"There should be a governor-general in the imperial court to supervise the issue of minimum prices for the exchanges 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: "Porcelain and silk can only be used by tribal leaders and Mongolian nobles on the grasslands. 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. We only need cattle and sheep.

Rather than asking for things that cannot be measured accurately such as gems.

It would be best if we could exchange war horses on the grassland with each other. However, I think that if our dynasty only trades porcelain, silk, tea and other items, the Oara tribe would be unwilling to use war horses to trade with each other.

In this way, the imperial court will eventually need to come up with weapons, or at least trade various iron tools with each other. This is what the Oara tribe wants most this time, and they are 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 said 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 customs, you need to start with those herdsmen. When the two sides trade with each other, they cannot use the name of the court, but the personal name of the European Supervisor."

Gao Yangzhi stared at Fan Chong with a faint look.

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 dynasty now, the European Supervisor still has the identity of a European merchant." Gao Yangzhi looked at Fan Chong with a warm look and a smile on his face: "When the time comes

, it is still necessary for the European eunuch to carry the iron tools prepared by the court in the name of personal business and go outside the customs to exchange cattle and sheep with the herdsmen.

There is a shortage of iron outside the customs, and perhaps a small community may 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 the herdsmen, while silk, porcelain, tea and other items were used to trade cattle and sheep and other items with the tribal leaders and nobles outside the customs.

The leaders of the Oara tribe will definitely be dissatisfied with Ou Jianshi's approach, but behind Ou Jianshi is the Ming Dynasty, they will probably not dare to do anything.

But they will definitely take the iron pots and other items that the herdsmen traded back with them after the European emissary leaves."

Let people outside the customs alienate.

This is Gao Yangzhi’s most core move.

Zhu Yunxi patted the desk and nodded slightly: "This is feasible."

"But by doing this, Mahamu and the others will still get iron tools. When the time comes, they will definitely melt these iron tools and recast weapons."

Fan Chong spoke hurriedly, he couldn't understand.

After such a deal, the leaders of the Oara tribe could finally get the weapons they wanted, but the Ming Dynasty would make the Oara tribe dissatisfied, and why.

"The human heart!" Gao Yangzhi said calmly, looking at Fan Chong calmly, as if he could see through his heart.

Fan Chong couldn't help but look tense: "What is the human heart?"

"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 Yangzhi asked lightly, leaning back on the chair and staring at Fan Chong faintly.

Fan Chong raised his head: "Of course I don't want to be a lower official!"

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 very seriously.

If it were in Europa, being a king... no! When a count wanted to take things away from his home, if he was 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 desk with a smile.

The court's transaction with the Oara tribe and the centrifugal situation on the grassland still need to be handled by Fan Chong, a barbarian. Now it is necessary to 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: "That's it, my Ming Dynasty's strategy has become seven or eight at this point."

"Is this a 70-80% difference? But nothing has changed on the grassland..."

Faced with Fan Chong's confusion, Gao Yangzhi shook his head repeatedly.

"No." Gao Yangzhi said in a deep voice: "At that time, the European Supervisory Envoy will need to bring the ethnic groups on the Iron Road grassland again to trade cattle and sheep with them at a slightly lower value than last time.

.More importantly, we should 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 stunned. He had no idea that such an operation could be done or could be done like this.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And he didn’t 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 eunuchs."

Fan Chong's eyes widened and he had no idea what the purpose of this set of operations was.

Co-author is just like 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 will be able to 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 brain?

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 could understand every word I said, but it seemed like I didn'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 Duoxian 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, the strategies implemented are all in vain.

As long as the imperial court begins to confirm the mutual trade with the grassland and trade grain. Now that our court has the advantage of sweet potatoes, it can ensure that enough sweet potatoes are sent to the grassland, slowly expand the number sent, and squeeze or rot the food produced on the grassland.

.

The imperial court will gradually control the source of food on the grassland step by step, so that the grassland will quietly develop a sense of dependence. When that time comes, it will cooperate with the centrifugal situation.

All it takes is a white disaster for the imperial court to immediately cut off grain trade with the grasslands. The Oara tribe, which has lost its source of grain, 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 where the situation is 100%. At that time, the grassland is at the mercy of me, the Ming Dynasty, to take whatever I want."

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 to five years to complete this game."

"The Ming Dynasty has never been short of 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 desk, the sound of tapping horse hooves came again, and Zhu Yunxi said: "The European Supervisor has the ambition to go through fire and water for the Ming Dynasty. Now the court will spend four or five years of the European Supervisory Envoy going to handle this matter outside the customs. I don't know if the European Supervisor can do it."

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 appointed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with the title of Ministry of Rites

, sit outside the customs."

The monarch and his ministers are in harmony with each other.

Fan Chong was already seeing stars in his eyes.

He still doesn't understand the rules of appointing officials in the imperial court, but he understands what important ministers mean.

"I am willing to go to the border to share the worries of His Highness!"
