Chapter 536 Believe it or not?
Everyone sees things from different angles. After Lu Zhenfei finished speaking, Zhu Youjian hadn't expressed his opinion yet, and Bi Ziyan also thought about it and spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I think Huduntu is worth saving."

"Oh? Let's hear it?" Hearing what Bi Ziyan said, he became interested.

"It's true that Huduntu is ambitious, but being ambitious doesn't mean it's not good for Daming. Not to mention anything else, but in terms of wool, how many of our people have benefited from this and improved their lives? Yes, The disintegration of Mongolia is no longer a threat to Daming, but it is also of no benefit.

Once they fight among themselves, the business cannot be done in a short time.Those poor people who have just seen the hope of life will go back to the time when they planed in the fields.Even if we stand in front of the righteousness of the country, regardless of the interests of these people, there is no benefit to the country, right?

Over the years, so many factories have been built, and some woolen products such as sweaters, sweaters, and blankets produced are sold to barbarians in the West through global commerce, but they still earn a lot of money?To put it bluntly, but this item is worth the tax of a province. How many practical things can these money do for the common people? ?

Fighting wars is fighting for money, even if you want to fight, don't you make more money?
After talking about us, let's talk about them.Over the past few years, the amount of wool that Daming has purchased from them has increased year by year. They can use the silver given by Daming to buy ironware, salt, cloth and other daily necessities of Daming. It can be said that their people have tasted the sweetness of doing business with Daming.The minister heard that many people have gradually reduced the number of horses and changed to sheep.

If things go on like this, even if he can dominate Mongolia, so what?

Besides, with my Ming's current development of firearms, even if he unifies Monan and Mobei, he will only be our target.Could they be more ferocious than the Jiannu that grew out of the black water in the white mountains? "

Bi Ziyan is in charge of the household department and deals with money all day long, so he often considers problems from the perspective of money, which makes his thinking more realistic.

In fact, he is right, ambition is often something that only those in power have.In fact, the biggest wish of ordinary herdsmen is to be able to live a peaceful and stable life, with food, drink and useful things.If it weren't for the harsh living environment, which parent would be willing to let their children die on the battlefield?

Take Daming's purchase of wool from them as an example, and they all agreed with it.Grass grows from the ground. Sheep eat grass and grow up. After they grow up, they can shear their wool twice a year. After shearing, they can sell their sheep for silver, and if they sell their silver, they can improve their lives.What a good cycle this is!As long as the trade between the two sides is still there, you can buy all kinds of food and clothing with silver, so why go to war?
Now that Daming has shown them the hope of a better life, are they really willing to fall into war again?

Look at Horqin, how good he has been since he joined Ming Dynasty.It's almost like recognizing a father!
Who doesn't envy the surrounding tribes?
Therefore, in Bi Ziyan's view, the fundamental purpose of fighting and killing is for profit.But if benefits can be gained without going to war, why bother?It costs money and effort to return the dead, what are you trying to do?
"What Bi Qing said is also reasonable. What about you? What do you think? I am also a little undecided about this matter, so I called you to discuss it. You don't need to have any psychological burden to speak freely."

After they finished speaking, they fell silent for a while, as if they were waiting for Zhu Youjian's statement.

But Zhu Youjian still wanted to hear the opinions of several other people, so he smiled and spoke.

"What's your majesty thinking?" Fan Jingwen asked with a smile.

"Huh? What does Fan Qing mean by asking that?"

"If you don't know His Majesty's thoughts, the opinions of the ministers are useless, right?"

Zhu Youjian was silent.

This shit, he knows himself so fucking well.

After thinking for a long time, he still expressed his thoughts.

"I intend to take back all of Mongolia."

what?
The others all stared at Zhu Youjian in astonishment, only Fan Jingwen looked as expected.

"Your Majesty, there is endless prairie outside the pass, and it is extremely difficult to open up wasteland and farm. Even if it is occupied, it will not be able to feed many people. Why do we do such thankless things?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, it's cold outside the pass, but there are few lands of all kinds. Is there any strategic value? Even the common people don't want to go outside the pass. What good is there for us to occupy it? Your Majesty these years Constantly expand the territory of Ming Dynasty, but whether it is Taiwan, Luzon, or Jiaozhi, it can bring huge benefits to Ming Dynasty. What can this vast prairie outside the pass bring to Ming Dynasty? It will only waste people and money , waste national strength, I can't agree, please think deeply, Your Majesty."

"Yes, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Except for Fan Jingwen, those who hadn't spoken just now began to kneel on the ground to persuade Zhu Youjian to take back this idea.

"Ridiculous!" Hearing everyone's objections, Zhu Youjian suddenly shouted angrily!
"You guys are so disappointing! I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty's cabinet would have ministers like you? The large area of ​​land outside the Pass was conquered bit by bit by our ancestors. Countless soldiers threw their heads and blood outside the Pass. How could it be because of those trivial details? Just give it up to others for some reason? If that’s the case, why not even Liaodong!? How can you say such things? Huh?”

Zhu Youjian was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room, pointing at the noses of several people and roaring loudly.The people around him have already knelt down.

Fan Jingwen sweated secretly, secretly blaming them for being so closed-eyed.

Let's discuss the matter of Huduntu carefully, why do you bring up the matter of Mongolia?
Preventing His Majesty from opening up territories is as difficult as preventing dogs from eating shit.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have limited vision and don't know the value of the fertile soil outside the pass. Last time, I heard from your Majesty that there are a lot of minerals outside the pass. Presumably this is one of the reasons why Your Majesty wants to recover Mongolia?"

Fan Jingwen knelt on the ground and comforted him cautiously.

"Superficial, although there are many minerals outside the customs, it is only part of the reason. Do you understand the depth of strategy? Think about it, since the founding of the country, whether it is Tatars, Oirats, or slaves, why have they been able to repeatedly invade our borders? Because the territory of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty has been continuously eroded by them, they no longer have strategic depth. Their cavalry can come outside the Great Wall at any time, waiting for opportunities to enter and plunder. In most cases, we can only passively defend and invest a lot of manpower , material and financial resources, but they can barely stay within the Great Wall.

I want to make a fundamental change!I want to take back all the territory of Mongolia!Your worries are justified, but I tell you that I have this ambition and the ability to manage the outside of the pass with a small number of troops!Do you believe it or not? "
