Could it be that Beiyuan didn't want to better control the grassland?

No, it's that they simply can't do it.

Even when Meng Yuan moved into the Central Plains, the grassland in Bei Yuan is now in chaos.

You must know that here in the grassland, there are a large number of tribes. Rather than saying that they are the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it would be more accurate to call them the Northern Yuan Tribal Alliance.

The various tribes below, like the warlords who once separated themselves from the Central Plains, completely listened to the instructions of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and refused to listen to the announcement.

If you really don't like something, just run away.

This is also a major feature of the grassland. Without a fixed residence, Beiyuan itself does not dare to put too much pressure on most tribes.

Naturally, if one or two small tribes are disobedient, they can still be punished casually.

For example, the large tribe of Guilichi is not particularly obedient in many aspects. Even Beiyuan is currently difficult to say to start directly, for fear of causing greater conflicts.

It's not that Beiyuan doesn't want to, it's just that he can't do it.

Zhu Ying showed his hands and said: "There is nothing that can't be done. To put it simply, the Chamber of Commerce at the Ming border will conduct a registration."

"This registered number is the specific cargo details. You can send enough cavalry to protect the caravan and be responsible for the safety of the caravan on the road."

"In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone."

"As for the escorting troops, they can be given a part of the commission for each escort. It is not a wasted trip. I believe many people are quite willing. They can also walk their horses often. What a good thing."

What Zhu Ying meant was that he directly treated Beiyuan's army as a bodyguard agency, which was equivalent to an official escort.

If it can really be achieved, it will definitely be a huge breakthrough for the grassland area.

This method really shocked the jaws of all the officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, including Elbek. Even those officials of the Han Dynasty of the Northern Yuan Dynasty fell into deep thinking.

In the field of business, it seems that no one can keep up with Zhu Ying's pace.

From this perspective, all of Zhu Ying's current arrangements are sincere and sufficient preparations for the development of Beiyuan.

Such a good and complete strategy is definitely not something that can be thought of in a single thought.

Elbek was really touched at this moment.

He felt that these things must have been personally explained by His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the friendship back then.

Beiyuan discussed for a long time, and after a lively incense stick, Ou Anmin, a veteran Han minister below, as a representative, nodded to Elbek and felt that this method was completely feasible.

In fact, the development of this model is based on the situation where the two countries coexist peacefully. Once a war breaks out, it will be completely invalidated.

But now Beiyuan has no other choice. The embargo has caused too much damage to them.

If it really needs to be banned for a few more years, it is estimated that Beiyuan will either undergo a large-scale migration or be overthrown and change ownership.

Once the direction is set, it is considered as agreed.

However, specific matters still require more in-depth exchanges and detailed discussions. These matters do not need to be agreed by Elbek and Zhu Ying, but are handled through consultation by the ministers of both parties.

It just may take a day or two for all the articles of association to be negotiated, and then Elbek and Zhu Ying will stamp them, which will be considered a complete completion of the negotiations.

Elbek felt that it was a bit boring here, so he invited Zhu Ying to go out for a walk.

Zhu Ying has nothing to be afraid of. With his personal force, Elbek is the one to worry about.

If you were to attack hard, it wouldn't take too much effort to kill him directly. Those Elbek guards seemed to be extremely tough, but in Zhu Ying's eyes, they just took a few more breaths.

effort.

Elbek looked at Zhu Ying's Xuanjia Guard and said with a smile: "The grandson's horse is really good. It must be raised with the most plump fresh grass."

Zhu Ying explained with a smile: "Khan didn't know something. Now there is a new crop in our Ming Dynasty called corn, but I have heard about it."

Elbek nodded and said: "I have heard of this, not only corn, but also sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"It is said that you have a huge yield and are relatively easy to plant. You have solved the problem of feeding many people and played a great role in the development of today's Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Elbek sighed a little.

If there were such high-yielding crops during the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties, then the current Central Plains must still be in the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties.

Zhu Yingdao; "Corn is a crop, but its stalks are richer in nutrients than pasture, especially for livestock, and are like an extremely delicious meal."

"There is a huge difference between concentrated feed and long-term feeding. It will grow stronger and stronger."

"The yield of corn is extremely high. Corn cobs can be eaten by ordinary people, and corn stalks can be eaten by livestock. It is a very good treasure."

Elbek took it seriously as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked: "This corn is in the Ming Dynasty's trade list with me, Beiyuan."

Zhu Ying nodded and said, "Of course it is. The current planting area is not large. As the planting area increases, more grassland can be supplied in the future."

Hearing this, Elbek was silent for a while, and then asked seriously: "Grandson, I think you also understand that the growth of the grassland is not good for the Central Plains."

"But why do you support the grassland so much?"

"I'm very surprised. It was you who proposed the embargo in the first place, and now it's you who are supporting the grassland. Aren't you afraid that when the Northern Yuan Dynasty rises again, we will invade the Central Plains?"

"There are some things. Even if I am the Emperor of Beiyuan, I may not be able to decide everything."

Elbek's words can be said to have truly expressed all his thoughts.

From the emperor's point of view, Beiyuan had enough benefits this time. He felt that although King Zhu Di of Yan was very important, it was not worth it when he had conflicts with the Ming Dynasty Taisun.

Everyone is very clear about the character of the nomadic people. Once they rise, they will inevitably invade the Central Plains.

I really don’t understand what the Ming Taisun’s purpose was for doing this.

Zhu Ying did not answer directly, but looked into the distance and asked in a leisurely voice: "Khan, look, is this grassland big?"

Elbek didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Ming Dynasty, so he could only answer: "Big, big, you can't see the side at a glance."

Zhu Ying smiled: "In my opinion, it is very small. It is as small as one or two million people per Beiyuan, so it is a bit too big to fit in."

"The territory that Genghis Khan had back then was considered large enough. Today's Oara, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the Golden Horde, and today's Timur. If we look further ahead, there are even more vast territories.

"

"With the strength of the grassland and the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the territory should not only be this small."

"Khan, tell me, if the Mongol and Yuan dynasties were as prosperous as the Ming Dynasty today, would it be possible for them to be as grand as Genghis Khan?"

Elbek didn't understand what Zhu Ying wanted to express, so he followed the words and said: "If this is really the case, I think it is very likely."

In fact, Elbek did not say that in his mind, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty in front of him was a being similar to Genghis Khan.

Zhu Ying continued; "Today's negotiation is extremely beneficial to Beiyuan, and I know it very well."

"But what I want is the cooperation between Daming and Beiyuan."

"Today's Ming Dynasty is the most prosperous country in the world. No matter in terms of military, politics, system, or people's lives, no other country can compare with it."

"The most powerful thing about Beiyuan is the cavalry, but as my Ming Dynasty's firecrackers continue to improve, it will not be an easy task for the prairie cavalry to enter the pass in the future."

"If I don't mention it in the future, at least after I ascend the throne, this possibility will no longer be possible."

After hearing this, Elbek also expressed his acquiescence. Although he did not want to admit it, Zhu Ying's words were indeed true.

Zhu Ying continued, "The current population on the grassland has actually completely exceeded the capacity of the grassland. I already discovered this when I was still working at the Qunying Chamber of Commerce."

"If I want to drag Bei Yuan to death, it only takes five years to impose an embargo. Then Bei Yuan will surely endure civil strife, which will lead to subversion."

"It's just that the chaotic grassland doesn't mean much to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Khan, I and my grandfather are very familiar with each other."

"Overseas, in the Japanese country, in Annan, Champa, places that Kublai Khan could not capture in the past, now the Ming Dynasty has achieved great success. Maybe as long as I send an order, they can easily change hands.

Submit to the Ming Dynasty."

"The grasslands cost too much troops for the Ming Dynasty. Almost a quarter of the country's troops were guarding the grasslands at the borders. This caused a great obstacle to the Ming Dynasty's outward development."

"If Beiyuan can really cooperate with Ming Dynasty, then Ming Dynasty can mobilize more troops to expand to the south, and Bei Yuan can also go north and west to conquer more territories."

"My Ming Dynasty can't defeat it, how can you, Bei Yuan, be able to defeat it?"

"Why should our two countries waste time at each other's expense?"

Zhu Ying's meaning is already very obvious.

But of course he can't say anything about the black earth now.

When it comes to black soil, we can only stabilize Beiyuan first and then try our best to conceal it.

We will naturally know it later, but by that time, there should be no possibility of Beiyuan turning against him.

Not just on the black soil, Zhu Ying actually has a longer-term plan.

It's just that Elbek doesn't seem to understand Zhu Ying's thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Elbek asked: "I really can't think of any good way to cooperate with Bei Yuan now."

"The main reason is that we cannot have stable control at the moment. If there is any good way, please give me your advice."

After finishing speaking, Elbek bowed and bowed.

Even when facing the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, who was one generation younger than himself and even younger, Elbek behaved very modestly.

In today's world, no one in the countries close to the Ming Dynasty knows that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was created by the grandson in front of him who had just reached his prime.

The existence of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is already a legend in itself, and the current Ming Dynasty is even more legendary among legends.
