The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 121 The most capable diplomat, Lord Ye in the eyes of the founding emperor!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma neither overwhelmed the table like those guard boys, nor were they overly surprised.

After all, they are all people who have traveled far and wide, and have experienced great storms. They have experienced far more passionate swearing-in scenes than this, and they have experienced it countless times.

It can also be said that Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a master who makes people excited through words.

Compared with Hongwu's first Northern Expedition oath in three years, this is not a big scene at all.

But they also know that this is nothing more than a business negotiation with some military and political purposes, it is just a conversation between a county magistrate engaged in business and a big tribal businessman who is closely related to the tribal khan .

But this kind of negotiation is enough for them to get to know Ye Qing again.

In business negotiations, a civil official can completely ignore military and political matters, but maintain the military and political security of the country everywhere. Isn't this worthy of recognition?

Besides, as far as this business is concerned, it can really be said that it is a military affairs!
In the first place, wars are simply for profit!
In order to enter the Central Plains, Beiyuan is for the benefit of Beiyuan people!

Daming labeled Dayuan as Beiyuan, and even thought of labeling Beiyuan as a small tribe that could never be overthrown, it was also for the benefit of the people of Daming!
If it is only about making money, the proposal of the Great Khan of Tatar is indeed much more profitable than the existing model.

Ye Qing's fur factory is just a part of the industrial park, and in order to ensure the price advantage and to feed other fur workshops, it has been in a state of limited supply.

Whether it is the frigid border towns in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty or the major tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside the pass, the supply is in short supply.

And the Principality of Tsarist Russia, which was further north in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, could not be sold at all!
If the fur factory is established in the Tatar Ministry, it can not only reduce the transportation and time costs of selling finished products to Beiyuan, but also directly seize the huge market of the Tsarist Russian Principality.

This is not earning gold coins or silver coins, it can be said to be money grabbing!

If he, Ye Qing, is just a local emperor with an eye for money, agreeing to the proposal of the Great Khan of Tatar is undoubtedly the most beneficial thing for him personally.

But he didn't agree, the lines between the lines are enough to reflect one of Ye Qing's principles, that is, "I, Ye Qing, like gold and silver, but some gold and silver can be earned, and some gold and silver can't be picked up"!
In general, it's just a sentence, "It's absolutely impossible for me, Ye Qing, to exchange border security and the lives of soldiers for money"!
Thinking of this, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at Ye Qing again, they all had such an imperceptible look of appreciation in their eyes.

But although it's not easy to detect, it can't escape Wu Yong who always pays attention to the two from the corner of his eye!
"Sure enough, everything is as I expected!"

"."

Thinking of this,

When Wu Yong looked at Ye Qing, his eyes were already filled with reverence.

He knows Ye Qing too well!
Whenever Master Ye encounters matters related to military affairs, he will definitely become this kind of 'general in literati's clothes'!
As for Master Ye, who obviously looks like a powerless civil servant, but can always make people feel the obvious martial style at this time, he still can't figure it out until now.

But this is also the main reason why he decided to be loyal to Ye Qing for the rest of his life!
Because of this, he believes that as long as these part-time imperial envoys see this side of Lord Ye, they will definitely get to know him again!

No, everything was as he expected!
At this moment, the representative of a major merchant in the Tatar Ministry felt that Ye Qing had played tricks on him.

Let them sweat and lead all the golden tribes to live for hundreds of years?

I am afraid that after hundreds of years, their descendants will not know that their ancestors gave birth to Genghis Khan, whose name is Temujin!
They are still clear about the assimilation ability of this long-established Central Plains dynasty.

As long as they do not enter the Central Plains, if they simply relocate to the Central Plains to live, the kings of the Central Plains dynasty are more welcome.

Because they have enough confidence to let these people become the labor force and combat effectiveness of the Central Plains, and then forget who their ancestors are.

Not to mention hundreds of years, even after three generations, their descendants will only know Chinese characters and speak only Chinese!

There are too many such historical examples!

There is even a typical case, Jin Ridun, the minister of Tuogu of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

A prince of the Xiongnu, not to mention being a Tuogu important official, was also given the posthumous title of 'Jing', and was buried with the emperor's mausoleum. It can be said that he has all the glory equivalent to the Hanchen of the Central Plains.

Because of this honor, the descendants of Kim Il-kun have earned the reputation of "Loyalty and Filial Piety of the Seventh Generation". They beat the Xiongnu so fiercely that they really treated their hometown as if they were killing their fathers and enemies!
As for the example of Jin Ridun, I don't know how many grassland people willingly became Han people in the Central Plains.

Just thinking about these historical cases, he knew that what Ye Qing said was definitely not a joke.

As long as they Da Khan dared to take the people there, he would really dare to do what he said, and directly gave them more than 1 mu of grassland, and even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would approve this matter.

Just because of this single business, no matter what, the Ming Dynasty earned more money!

Thinking of this, he was ready to convey another message from the Great Khan of Tatar.

Bo'er Jijin Temu'er said with a slightly stronger tone: "Master Ye, our Great Khan asked me to tell you another piece of news."

Ye Qing just said while eating the fruit, "Say it!"

Bo'er Jijin Temur continued: "Actually, as early as three months ago, His Royal Highness Qi Wang sent someone to look for him, and planned to jointly do a big business."

"That big business was just after the autumn harvest in Yanmen County."

"We Dahan still prefer to cooperate with Mr. Ye to establish a fur factory, and we don't want to cooperate with His Highness King Qi, although the transaction cost is not too high."

"But we also want to make money, don't we?"

"In order to show our respect to Master Ye, we Dahan give you the right to choose. Whether he cooperates with you or His Royal Highness King Qi, you can just give me a word!"

Hearing such words, not to mention Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang, even those young guards who have already drunk a lot can fully understand the meaning.

What kind of big business has no cost after the autumn harvest in Yanmen County?
Of course, after the harvest in Yanmen County, it was a no-cost business that came to plunder!

In fact, it can't be said that there is no cost, and it still needs to mobilize teachers and mobilize people, and it will kill people!
Under the candlelight, more than a dozen cold lights flashed instantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pro-military guards pulled out half of their sabers at this moment, and turned into executioners who would chop this person to pieces as long as Ye Qing said a word.

That is, Mao Xiang signaled to stop, so they put down their knives and sat down.

But the blade in their eyes couldn't be stopped no matter what!
Looking at this scene, Wu Yong felt very satisfied in his heart!

Because in his opinion, the emperor's imperial envoys, Master Guo and Mrs. Guo, who can be related to Empress Ma and get the care of the emperor, will become Lord Ye just like these guards after tonight. people.

Judging from the current situation, it is really developing in the direction Wu Yong hoped for.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the 'rebellion' behavior of the pro-military guards at all, and thought it was a great thing for them to have such a reaction!

Because in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, his soldiers should have such a reaction!

Not only that, he wanted to chop off the person in front of him on the spot!

However, there is still a rule that the two armies do not kill each other, not to mention a businessman who is acting as a messenger, at least on the surface, it is just a businessman who conveys the message.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Qing again, waiting for Ye Qing's answer to this threat.

Ye Qing still didn't look at people directly, he still ate the fruit and said: "You can go back and tell you that you sweat a lot. If you lack clothes and eat less in winter, you can exchange them for furs, horses, cattle and sheep."

"I don't need to make any money, but I can sell you food and clothing at cost price, so that your herdsmen can survive the winter without starving to death or freezing to death."

"This is the greatest preferential treatment this official has given to the Tatar Ministry!"

"If he is still not satisfied, and wants to work with Wang Baobao on a cheap business after our autumn harvest, I really can't answer this question. This is beyond the scope of my authority!"

"But I feel that the generals of my Yanmen garrison will definitely answer with four words!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qing just put down the half-eaten fruit, and said with deep eyes: "Come and fight anytime!"

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's military guards looked at Ye Qing with more admiration than before.

And Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at Ye Qing with more intense admiration.

Empress Ma just tilted her head slightly, and whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang, "He still has the ability to be the minister of the Honghe Temple, with both kindness and power, he is impeccable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

It is indeed the combination of kindness and power that is impeccable, and always allows himself to stand on the commanding heights of morality. He gave others a way of life, and it is their fault if others want to grab it.

And what satisfied him the most was Ye Qing's words that meant he had no right to answer for the generals.

Obviously, he, Ye Qing, did not step on Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line, and did not get involved in important military and political affairs as a civil servant.

In this way, he can basically be sure that Zhu Yuanzhang can reuse Ye Qing!
But then he felt something was wrong again!

Because Ye Qing's words are equivalent to answering for the generals, and they are so decisive, as if what he meant was the meaning of the generals!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly again.

But then he was relieved immediately.

There is no other reason,

Zhu Yuanzhang's generals must have answered this way!

Just after thinking about it like this, he felt that he was just thinking too much!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was completely relieved,

Ye Qing's eyes on Bo'er Jijin Temur suddenly became sharp!
