Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 346 The Power of Capital

The content of this document is not complicated, it just said one thing, that is, Daning City was harassed.

Who is doing this?
It is the remaining members of the Duoyan Sanwei. Of course, the Horqin Ministry is behind it.

Zhu Houzhao knew what was going on at a glance, the remaining Duoyan Sanwei, do they have the guts to harass Daning?On the contrary, many people came to surrender.

Since the beginning of winter last year, small tribes have continued to surrender. The reason is very simple. If they do not surrender, they will not be able to survive. Liaodong has also properly resettled them. Yang Yiqing also reported this to Zhu Houzhao.

The surviving Duoyan Sanwei could not be effectively organized at all. As for the Horqin Department, they still dare to tease Daming?
Horqin is estimated to be in fear all day long.

Zhu Houzhao knew that the frontier army in Liaodong must have done something this time. As for why they did it, the reason is very simple.That is for the place where the Horqin Department is located. At this time, the Horqin Department should be called Horqin Wanhu, which consists of thirty Otoks on the left and right wings.

The left-wing seven Otok belonged to King Borunaiqi, and lived nomadicly in the Hulunbuir area, the lower reaches of the Onen River and the Nenjiang River Basin.And the six Otoks owned by King Nayan Borot himself were generally grazing in the upper reaches of the Onon River.

These places may not be familiar to people in later generations, but the Horqin Grassland, even in later generations, is very famous, not to mention the Hulunbuir Grassland.

The price of grassland in Liaodong is soaring now, because wool and cashmere materials have been soaring.And Liaodong is already trying to develop a mixed fabric made of cashmere and wool in a fixed ratio.

Zhu Houzhao knows that once this research and development is successful, it will be woolen material.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand what woolen material means.

Woolen coats and woolen clothing will definitely appear in Daming's market quickly, and the supply is definitely in short supply.

During this period, the wool imitations produced in the grasslands in Liaodong were basically sold out, whether they were sold to North Korea or transported to the capital.

The price is high and the supply exceeds the demand, so what will happen?
The answer is simple, that is to expand production.

Under Zhu Houzhao's strict order, the pastures have begun to be reluctant to sell, and only some pastures with rich water and grass are sold. Pastures showing signs of desertification are not sold, and places in the northeast where land can be reclaimed are not allowed to be sold.

This made the pastures in Liaodong start to be vacant, and neither the generals of Liaodong nor the gentry doing business in Liaodong could bear it anymore.

Naturally, they dare not make trouble with Zhu Houzhao, but they can think of other ways.Now that the pastures around Daning City are gone, let's go to other places.

I heard that the pastures in Horqin are very fertile, even the pastures around Daning are incomparable.

Those people in Liaodong are going to be shed.For things like pastures, the difference between good pastures and bad pastures is very obvious, just like good irrigated land and saline-alkali land.

Even if the pastures around Daning are on sale, they will also focus on the pastures in Horqin. Who would dislike their small pastures?Who would dislike the fatness of their pasture?
As for these people's damage to the pastures, Zhu Houzhao is not worried, because these pastures are their personal property and a source of income, and they have no time to take care of them.

If it is not divided and sold, but used as a public pasture, it will definitely be severely damaged, but if it is divided into your own hands, it will be different immediately.

So this time the matter is very simple, it is something that Liaodong's generals and nobles and relatives did together.

Zhu Houzhao can assure you that the capital is probably in a commotion now, and countless people will shout to punish Horqin.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly smiled.The greed of capital is far beyond everyone's imagination. Marx said that capitalism will be ready to move when there is a 20.00% profit; if there is a 50.00% profit, capital will take risks; if there is a [-]% profit, capital will dare to At the risk of hanging your head; if there is a [-]% profit, capital dares to trample on all laws in the world.

If unrest and strife would bring profits, it encouraged them, as evidenced by smuggling and the slave trade.

This theory has been confirmed countless times in later generations. Will the arms dealer be afraid that you will go to war?
He will be afraid that you will be peaceful, the more you beat me, the happier you will be, and the more intense you will be, the happier I will be.Now it is the capital that is forcing the country to go to war. This is also the beginning of aggressive ideas and corruption, using muskets and cannons to grab profits.

Don't think that those Confucian scholars who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality will not play aggression, they will label you as enlightened.

Zhu Houzhao felt that once you let go of this monster, then Daming would just let you hand over your wealth with the Analects of Confucius and the musket.

Thinking of that scene, Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed.

Handing the letter in his hand to Liu Jin beside him, Zhu Houzhao leaned on the chair, thinking about his father in his heart, not knowing what his father was thinking at this time.

What is Zhu Youtang thinking?

He wants to curse.

At this time, in the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, Zhu Youtang placed a lot of memorials in front of him. The content of the memorials was very simple, and they were all for the battle.

Yang Yiqing, governor of Liaodong, did not call for a fight in his note, but only said that Liaodong was harassed.

The generals in Liaodong were not so polite, and they all asked for a fight.One is more intense than the other, what is smashing to pieces to serve the king, what is the dignity of Ming Dynasty that cannot be trampled on, what is trying to wipe out disobedient ministers for His Majesty, anyway, it is just a sentence, hit him.

Zhu Youtang was even a little dazed, is this Daming?Is this still the frontier army of Ming Dynasty?
Once upon a time, the frontier soldiers of Ming Dynasty were so timid that people wanted to kill people.It is impossible for me to run away when I see a Tartar and want me to go out to fight.But now?Are those people screaming?
This made Zhu Youtang have an illusion that this is not the Ming Dynasty but the strong man and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and he will fight and beat anyone who doesn't like it.Anyway, it was fighting, fighting, and Zhu Youtang was terrified when he saw it.

What surprised Zhu Youtang even more was that he didn't know who spread the news, and then there was a trend in the capital to suppress disobedience.

First, the nobles and relatives presented the memorial, and then the civil servants. None of the courtiers who said on weekdays that "although a country is large, it will perish if it is warlike" and "the court is in trouble, it should not open border quarrels without authorization" disappeared.

Instead, they shouted at Horqin, and Zhu Youtang felt that his three views had been subverted once again.

Of course, it wasn't that Zhu Youtang was depressed because the Three Views were subverted, but because he remembered what his son said back then, Zhu Youtang felt depressed.

At the beginning, my son said that in two years at most, Liaodong would go to war again, and it would be against Horqin.

The reason is also very simple. Horqin's pasture is too fat, and too many people want to swallow it in one gulp.

Zhu Youtang didn't believe it at first, but it hasn't been a year yet!
