What does it mean?

Jin Zhong stroked his beard and glanced at the place where the chess piece fell.

According to Jin Yiwei's information, it was a fertile pasture that suddenly became hypothermic.

Not far from here is Shuangquanhai, the place of Saliha. According to legend, this place was the birthplace of Taizu Yuan Dynasty, and the palace of Saliha disciples was built here.

Could it be said that Mahamu and others will escape here?

Thinking about it, Jin Zhong himself couldn't help but laugh.

How can this be?

Even if the Wala army lost to the Ming army and chose to escape strategically, how would His Highness the King of Han know where they fled?

Is it possible that the Han prince can predict the future?

Seeing everyone looking at him with suspicion, Zhu Gaoxu could only shrug his shoulders and said with a smile: It just fell casually, don't worry about it.

In fact, Zhu Di led an army of 500,000 troops to personally conquer Mobei to attack Mahamu's Oara army. It was at Shuangquanhai that the Ming forwards encountered Mahamu's army.

The next day, the Ming Dynasty King's Division learned that Mahamu and Taiping were more than a hundred miles away, so he immediately advanced into Hulanhuwenwen, where he fought with the Oara army in a positional battle that was rare in the history of war.

But how should Zhu Gaoxu explain it? Is it possible to tell Jin Zhong and others that he is a cheat?

So he could only deal with it perfunctorily and did not attract the attention of Jin Zhong and others.

Anyway, the tip bag was in the hands of the third child, Zhu Gaosui. When the Northern Expedition army could not find the main force of the Oara Army, the problem of him opening the tip bag was solved.

It was a pleasure for Zhu Di to go on the expedition in person, but the Six Ministries and Hundreds of Divisions were extremely busy because of his Northern Expedition.

The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites are preparing for the Spring Examination, the Ministry of War is deducing the direction of the Northern Expedition, and the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are busy cooperating with the Ministry of War to dispatch the grain and grass supplies needed for the Northern Expedition.

When the Northern Expedition began, the entire Ming Dynasty prepared for war instantly. Among the six departments, only the Criminal Department was slightly relaxed.

Zhu Gaoxu finally finished handling a bunch of zhezi. Seeing that it was dinner time, he was about to get up and leave, but unexpectedly, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, came over with another pile of zhezi.

Your Highness the King of Han, this is the money and food supplies allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works in conjunction with the Ministry of War. I would like to ask His Highness the King of Han to take a look at it...

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand numbly, motioning for him to put the fold down.

Old Xia Tou, Old Jin Tou, in the past when the Crown Prince was supervising the country, did he have so many government affairs to deal with?

The ministers were stunned when they heard this, and then nodded.

Jin Zhong stroked his beard and said: King of Han, when Your Highness the Crown Prince supervises the country, it is much more difficult than it is for you.

At least before the Emperor's Northern Expedition, the imperial court had a large amount of income, which could barely support the normal operation of major projects in a short period of time...

Xia Yuanji also smiled and said: When the Emperor went on his first Northern Expedition, in order to raise money, food and materials, His Highness the Crown Prince and I were so worried that we couldn't eat for several days...

After hearing these words, Zhu Gaoxu could only sigh quietly.

It’s hard for me, but it’s even harder for Big Fatty!

The job of supervising the country is not done by humans at all!

Zhu Gaoxu took the folder and suddenly asked: Old Xia Tou, Old Jin Tou, how are you preparing for the 'Sheep Sheep Plan'?

According to the results of their last discussion, after Zhu Laosi's imperial commander personally defeated Wala, the shepherding plan could be implemented.

But before that, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War need to cooperate with each other and prepare to open mutual trade with the three Mongolian tribes in the northwest border city.

It is not that there is no mutual trade in the Ming Dynasty, but they are all in the Gansu and Sichuan areas, with Uzang in the southwest and Xifan in the west.

Usu Tibetans eat meat and drink cheese all day long, and tea can detoxify and eliminate diseases, and can also relieve greasiness and aid digestion.

Therefore, controlling the supply of tea is tantamount to controlling the lives of Us Tibetans.

Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, tea has not only become a bulk economic and trade product between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Tibetans in the northwest and southwest regions, but has also become a material means to maintain friendly relations with the Tibetans.

The tea-horse mutual trade can maintain the security and stability of the Central Plains in the southwest region, and is a border policy of important strategic significance for past dynasties.

Secondly, through the tea-horse trade, it could also meet the Central Plains dynasty's need for war horses and provide the court with a huge amount of tea profits to meet its military needs.

For example, Hui Que in the Tang Dynasty, Khitan in the Song Dynasty, and Zanggu people in the Xia and Jin Kingdoms all loved tea very much.

Until the Ming Dynasty, the Tibetan people in Xining, Taohe River, all used tea horses as restraints.

The opening of mutual markets can effectively eliminate military disasters and stabilize border defenses.

It's just that there is a blood feud between Ming Dynasty and Mongolia that has taken over the country for generations. It is not easy for the two countries to start mutual trade.

Xia Yuanji's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he slowly replied: His Royal Highness, the Ministry of Household Affairs has limited money and grain that can be mobilized in a short period of time. It is better to wait until next spring and collect summer grain...

It's not that he intentionally delayed the shepherding plan, it was actually that the Ministry of Household Finance was starting to get nervous again.

At this time, most of the provisions and supplies for the early stage of the Northern Expedition have been prepared. The national treasury is already in deficit. How can there be any money left to launch the shepherding plan?

This shepherding plan can be called a century-old plan. As long as it is implemented smoothly, there will be no more troubles from barbarians within a hundred years of the Ming Dynasty.

But the key problem is that the Shepherd Plan requires a huge amount of money to be invested in the early stage. But at this time, the national treasury is out of money. What can we use to launch the plan?

After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his old face suddenly turned dark.

Next spring?

After collecting summer grain?

Your uncle's!

What a joke!

Seeing this, Jin Zhong sighed and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net smiled bitterly and said: Your Highness, Shuntianxin must be repaired, Document Dacheng also needs to be repaired, and Zheng He will go to the West again in the spring... None of these projects can be done There is nothing the Ministry of Finance can do about the suspension!

When Xia Yuanji heard this, he was so aggrieved that he almost cried.

The King of Han must have forgotten that he also needs to build factories in Yanshan salt mines to produce new salt, and factories in coal mountains in various places to produce briquettes... Each of these projects is a huge expense. The Ministry of Household Affairs is really out of money now!

Zhu Gaoxu: !!!

Numb!

Completely numb!

This damn guy has no money again!

He had worked so hard so many times before, and at least he had brought 20 million taels of fiscal revenue to the Ming Dynasty treasury!

As a result, when he was now supervising the country, the treasury was actually out of money. Where could he go to reason?

Xia Yuanji let out a long sigh, If His Highness the King of Han can obtain the Emperor's consent and stop any of these items, I will immediately start implementing the 'Shepherd Plan'...

Zhu Gaoxu was confused and wished he could give this old guy a kick.

Moving the capital to Beijing, compiling the Yongle Dadian, and Zheng He's voyages to the West were the troika of the Yongle New Deal, driving the Yongle Dynasty's New Deal reforms.

If Zhu Gaoxu dares to stop a project, I'm afraid that the traitor Zhu Laosi will immediately rush back to Beijing and hack him, the Han prince who oversees the country, to death.

As for the new salt law, it cannot be stopped. It is related to the livelihood and well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that all people in the world can eat good salt, and we must not stop it just yet.

The briquette project is a profitable project, and if it is stopped, the national treasury will only become poorer...

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu only felt miserable.

This treasury is basically a bottomless pit!

I can’t fill it up no matter how much I fill it!
