please make me king

Chapter 1147 Excuses
"King Khan!" Fan Wencheng frowned, "The situation is not good. The price of food outside has skyrocketed to the point where there are a lot of slaves at home starving to death."

"The gold and silver that were originally distributed to the banners were coaxed away by these profiteers. Everyone was miserable."

"A few days ago, some slaves who wanted to die rebelled, and many of them were hacked and killed by the masters. Only then did they calm down."

"It's just...it's just that there are a few masters who are not very hurt by the dog slaves, and two of them are Niu Luerzhen..."

Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng secretly glanced at Khan Wang Hongtai's expression, and seeing that he didn't respond, he continued.

"Now the crowd is excited, and they are clamoring to kill these birdmen..."

"Bastard!" Jin Guohan Hong Tai said nothing now, and when he heard this, he really couldn't help it.

"Who said such a bastard, isn't this killing the chicken to get the egg?"

"If you lose gold and silver, you can grab it again. If you lose your slaves, you can grab it again. If you lose food, you can grab it again. But if you don't have credit, then you really have nothing!"

It turned out that Houjin plundered the customs, mainly people, gold and silver and other portable people, livestock and a large number of valuables.

Only in this way, the influx of a large amount of gold and silver will inevitably lead to soaring prices and inflation.

Therefore, it is necessary to rely on Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku and others to smuggle materials from Ming Dynasty to maintain the economic order of Houjin.

As a result, due to successive years of natural disasters and military disasters in the north, Houjin became more and more dependent on robbing Ming Dynasty to maintain social order.

Originally, the two sides entered and exited, except for the soldiers who died in vain and the people who suffered disasters, a perfect dynamic balance was achieved.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Shun plundered Fu Fan, Chong Fan—Tang Fan and other vassal princes successively, he hooked up with Yangzhou salt merchant Cheng Jia and placed an order of five million shi.

As soon as the rebel army purchased food, it didn't matter, the whole world began to be short of food, and even the supply of the Daming Frontier Army and the capital was affected.

Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku and others are bad to the core, but the most basic professional ethics are still there.

What is "hoarding" and "rising prices on the ground" are self-taught, and will not change due to the identity, status, nationality, or country of the customer.

But Jin Guohan Hong Tai, who is known for his brutality, still has nothing to do with them.

What is a monopoly?

This is called a monopoly.

The smugglers and traitors are all headed by the eight of them.

If Khan Hong of the Kingdom of Jin chopped them down in anger, he might not even have to buy the "eight taels and one bucket" of food next time.

"Can you invite them to come over and have a discussion with them, and use my king's reputation as a guarantee to credit [-] shi of grain first?" Mrs. Hong frowned and made a proposal after a while.

"Cash transaction, no credit!" Fan Wencheng shook his head with a wry smile.

What is our situation now, King Khan, can't you see clearly?

As the saying goes: "When a drum is broken, thousands of people beat it, and when a wall falls, everyone pushes it."

If you want to count on them to add icing on the cake, and if you want to count on them not to take advantage of the fire, it is better to count on the sun to come out from the west.

"By the way, has the food from North Korea been delivered?" Mrs. Hong suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Hong Tai, who had just ascended the throne, sent Bel Amin to conquer North Korea. North Korea lost consecutive battles and asked for peace.

The two sides formed a "brotherly alliance" in Pyongyang. In addition to being unable to accept Liaodong refugees and supporting Mao Wenlong in Pidao, North Korea had to pay Houjin three thousand shi for food every year.

Now that there is a shortage of food in the Kingdom of Jin, Mrs. Hong is thinking about this food again.

"Yes, I have given it a long time ago, three thousand shi of grain, one tael is not bad!" Fan Wencheng laughed when he heard this.

"Little North Korea, how dare you stroke the Khan King's tiger beard?"

"Oh? It seems that the people of North Korea are living in a prosperous life, and the grain storehouses are full!" Mrs. Hong couldn't help but sighed.

"Huh?" Fan Wencheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately realized what Jin Guohan and Mrs. Hong meant.

"What does King Khan mean 'the lost elm harvested'?"

"That's right, since Daming cannot be moved now, it is still possible to move North Korea!" Mrs. Hong couldn't help sneering.

"A League of Brothers, whose brother is he, Li Zhen?"

It turns out that in the original history, after Hong Tai conquered Mongolia, he also realized that the title of "Golden Khan" could no longer satisfy the rule of Mongolia, Sauron and other ministries, so he began to contemplate proclaiming himself emperor.

And North Korea happened to be sandwiched between Ming and Jin without embarrassment. Later Jin forced North Korea to become a vassal and failed, so Hong Tai led his troops to march in person.

At that time, Hong Tai led Daishan, Dorgon, Duoduo, Dorobeile, Yuetuo, Haoge, Dudu and other luxurious lineups to recruit Manchu and Mongolian elites, known as [-], to invade North Korea on a large scale.

Besieged the king of Joseon, Li Ji, in Namsan Seoul, and captured many ministers, clans, concubines, etc. of North Korea by breaking through Ganghwa Island.

North Korea wailed from top to bottom, unable to do anything, and finally had to accept the alliance under the city and became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that now because of Zhang Shun's sudden birth, Mrs. Hong had to postpone the matter of proclaiming the emperor. The original reason for attacking North Korea has now become "lost in the south and making up for the east".

"Then what's the good reason?" Fan Wencheng frowned.

He knew well that repairing North Korea this time had gone against Jin Guohan's strategy of stabilizing the east wing.

But there are priorities, and there is no choice but to do so.

Rather than offending North Korea, it is better than looking for Daming at this time.

If not, it would be a lose-lose situation with Daming, and let the "shun thief" fisherman benefit, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"In this way, you send a few servants to North Korea with silver to buy grain at the standard of one tael and one stone." Mrs. Hong pondered for a moment after hearing the words.

"If you agree, you should buy everything; if you don't agree, you tell them to just make a big mess, and if something goes wrong, Ben Khan will make the decision for them!"

"Understood!" Fan Wencheng didn't understand what he heard, Khan Wang Hongtai wanted to use the lives of a few slaves as an excuse.

Ever since Hong Tai sent Bel Amin to conquer North Korea, the people in North Korea were outraged and deeply ashamed.

This time, it is only necessary to send a few slaves to show off their power and buy and sell by force, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Korean people.

And these slaves are used to domineering and domineering, and they will definitely not restrain themselves when they arrive in North Korea.

When the time comes, the hatchback will clash, and their lives will be in danger.

Of course, although they lost their lives, Jin Guohan also had an excuse to attack North Korea, so it was all worth it.

"King Khan is wise, killing two birds with one stone like this, not only solved the domestic food shortage, but also avoided conflict with the Ming Dynasty, it is really high!" Fan Wencheng couldn't help flattering.

"It's nothing!" Mrs. Hong was quite proud of this, but still reserved.

"A few tricks, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"By the way, tell the merchants and spies in the Ming Dynasty to preach the 'threat of the thieves' to me. Make sure that the Ming Dynasty and the thieves fight together, so that we can reap the benefits!"
