My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 275 The truth is coming

  The people who came under the mountain were killed.

  Although there are no more than a hundred people.

   But these people are well-trained after all, and they killed all the Taoists in a flash.

   Seeing this, the rest of the Taoists knelt down and begged for mercy.

  By this time, almost everyone was exhausted.

  But at this moment, Chen Daowen's eyes are red, he looks like a wild beast.

   Slapped the Buddha father severely.

   Then he scolded: "Just wait for the skinning."

  People in this situation must be extremely emotional.

  Chen Daowen still recovered his composure. He knew in his heart that there was no need to kill this person right now.

  At the moment he commanded humanity: "Search this place for me with the bottom up, and the rest of the people will immediately follow me down the mountain and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

   At this time, we must return to the capital as quickly as possible without any delay. We must arrive in the capital before everyone has reacted, otherwise... once the followers of the White Lotus Sect find out, they will definitely launch a counterattack.

  At the moment, everyone gathered quickly, pressing down on the Buddha father and mother, as well as some backbones of the White Lotus Sect, and immediately went down the mountain.

   During the inventory, a large number of documents were quickly discovered.

  In addition to those useless so-called talismans, there are still half a room of ledgers.

   It's ridiculous to say that this half of the room's ledgers are many "offerings" offered by the Bailian Taoists in various state capitals.

  Naturally, for the captains, what really matters is a roster.

  The records here are mostly some important backbones of the White Lotus Sect.

  For the so-called Buddha father and Buddha mother, someone must be behind the scenes to manipulate.

  Since the Song Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has used a large number of incomprehensible incisions, many rituals, and complicated organizational methods to establish an underground order.

   And all of this is closely related to manpower.

  The Buddha father was arrested, and he was still chanting. Although he was escorted down the mountain and loaded into a car, he was still chanting.

  It seems that at this time, all he really has left is to chant scriptures, and it seems that he is hoping that the gods and Buddhas that he doesn't even believe in can help him at this time.

  He soon discovered that he was quickly sent to a certain ferry, and then at the ferry of the canal, there were already several ships waiting here.

  He was escorted onto the boat, and Chen Daowen personally guarded him.

  Chen Daowen sat cross-legged in the awning, the Buddha said: "How did you find me? How..."

   So far, he still can't believe that he is confident that he has reached the pinnacle of concealment.

  In fact, this is also understandable. Since the birth of the White Lotus Sect, it has suffered repeated blows from the government. They have a wealth of experience in being attacked. The so-called long-term illness becomes a cure, after the leaders were arrested again and again, and their corpses were chopped into pieces again and again.

   These descendants of the White Lotus Sect, based on the failure experience of their predecessors, have already formed a set of hiding methods after trial and error again and again.

  And these methods, in terms of shelter and hiding, can be said to be the pinnacle.

  Chen Daowen ignored him.

   "Could it be that you have immortal skills?" Chen Daowen said again: "No, absolutely impossible... If the sky has eyes, it should also protect me, not you..."

  Chen Daowen was very tired, he suppressed the urge to kill this person again and again.

  At this moment, all he was thinking about was how to play the report.

  After the murderous intent surged in his heart again and again, he was still restraining himself.

  In the depths of the cave, the school captains also found more than a dozen women who had been tortured beyond recognition. These women should have been pampered by their parents.

  Chen Daowen had just given birth to a daughter, so he clenched his fists again and again, forcing himself to relax again and again.

  Father Buddha said: "You let me go, in the future..."

  Father Buddha was very desperate at this time, but he still didn't give up, but... the person in front of him made him feel discouraged.

  It is not that he has never encountered guards and officers and soldiers in the past, but those people... as long as he confuses a few words, they will often be seduced.

   And the person in front of him has a heart like iron.

Father Buddha still did not give up, and continued at this time: "Could it be that a mere military officer like you is willing to be driven by others for the rest of your life? I can give you wealth and honor, and even... I can promote you. I have people in the court and the government. "

  Chen Daowen said at this time: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

  Father Buddha saw that he had responded, and immediately cheered up, and said happily: "What are you thinking? If you have any thoughts, I will teach you to make your wishes come true."

  Chen Daowen said coldly: "I just gave birth to a daughter, and I don't want... her future to be ruined by people like you."

  Father Buddha said: "You obviously misunderstood. I did it for their own good. It was their parents who were crying and begging me to drive away evil spirits for them. I was doing good deeds."

Chen Daowen seemed to exert a lot of strength, took a deep breath, opened his eyes suddenly, a killing intent flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "In order to get you, I died nine robes, these people ...are still young, they have worked hard to get into the official school, and they have a bright future, their parents, wives and children have pinned their hopes on them, and now...die because of you!"

   "If you want to go this way and suffer less physical pain, then shut your mouth. If you still dare to chatter, I can bear your words, but you can ask my robes if they are willing to bear it."

  At this time, Father Buddha realized that the four or five captains on the same boat, each with red eyes, were trying to restrain their emotions like hungry wolves.

After Jinyiwei has been restructured, earth-shaking changes have taken place, especially the new captains. They are from a good family, can read and write at the same time, and know some things. After entering the school, they are classmates with their contemporaries. Others are different.

Coupled with generous salaries, relatively stable jobs, and even the ability to solve the problem of accommodation in the future, they have gradually changed from ordinary people's Qiu Ba to a sweet pastry. straight.

  In addition, Zhang Anshi strictly forbids bullying from top to bottom, and the situation of internal fighting, the relationship between each other has changed from fighting for power and profit with each other to shoulder-to-shoulder comrades-in-arms. There may be some friction on weekdays, but once there is damage, they can immediately fight against each other.

This time, for the sake of absolute secrecy, almost all the lieutenants were selected from the students in the official school. They were young, relatively simple, and their faces were also fresh. This time, Chen Daowen led the team and acted secretly. Only then can absolute confidentiality be achieved.

  Now, for Chen Daowen, the dead may be just subordinates, but for many lieutenants, they are classmates and friends who ate and slept together when they were young.

  It was fine during the day, but when the boat sailed at night, someone wept softly at the stern.

  Chen Daowen guarded the Buddha almost every step of the way. This was not because he was afraid that the Buddha would run away, but because he was worried that some captains could not bear the urge to kill.

  The boat goes down the river all the way, without any stops along the way, all the work and rest, all on board, everyone is waiting for the gun, 12 hours, taking turns to guard, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong.

  Father Buddha...just now realized...that he had really kicked on the iron plate, and his three-inch tongue was useless.

   He has the desire to survive, but he still thinks over and over again how to survive after being escorted to the capital.

   In other words, increase the value of being used.

  …

   On the other side, Zhu Di stayed in Qixia for several days.

  This made Zhang Anshi a lot more stressed.

  On the one hand, it is the work of defense, and there is no room for any mistakes.

On the other hand, it was Zhang Anshi who was the king of the mountain in Qixia. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of the earth. Now that the real emperor has come, he has become a prototype of the emperor of the earth. He has changed from a big brother to a younger brother. , It's no wonder that I'm in a good mood.

  Subjectly, Zhang Anshi was working in the study. At this time, a scribe said: "Grandpa, Alutai and Ha'er Wuai have arrived."

  Zhang Anshi cocked his feet. In Daming, he wasn’t bragging. Except for Zhu Di and his brother-in-law, he didn’t care who you were, he didn’t recognize anyone.

   "Call in."

   After a while, the two walked in with some trepidation.

  After that actual battle, they have realized that the Ming army is no longer what it used to be, and now the two are still stationed in the capital, and the emperor has no follow-up orders about their arrangement, which is even more disturbing.

  Now Duke Wei invites himself to speak out, which makes them even more uneasy.

   This guy in front of him... is more ruthless than them... I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

   After the two came in, they saluted first, Zhang Anshi just smiled dryly: "Sit down, sit down."

  The two leaned forward and sat down, Arutai said: "I don't know Duke Wei, what can I teach you?"

  Zhang Anshi asked, "What are your plans?"

   "Plan?" The two looked at each other.

   Obviously, they didn't expect that Zhang Anshi would ask them about this on purpose.

  Seeing their surprise, Zhang Anshi asked again: "Do you want to go back to the grassland?"

   "Think!" The two almost agreed.

   Returning to the grassland is their confidence! That's their home!

  Staying here is actually no different from being a prisoner.

  I saw Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I heard that all the tribes in the desert are in chaos. The Oirats took this opportunity to annex the Tatar tribes. The momentum is quite strong. When you go back, you will not also join Oirat."

   "No, no..." the two said quickly.

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you take refuge in Oala or not. Your Majesty and I don't care either."

  The two of them didn't know what Zhang Anshi meant, so they didn't dare to respond for a while.

  Zhang Anshi continued: "Da Ming intends to sign a mutual market agreement with Wala, and there are already people willing to contact Wala."

  Mutual market?

  Arutai said: "As far as I know, the Wala people and the Ming Dynasty have always had a mutual market, and exchanged what they have."

  This is the truth. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Tatars were the most powerful. In order to attack the Tatars, Zhu Di adopted the national policy of trading with Oala and resolutely attacking the Tatars.

  Of course, the final result is that Zhu Di got off the hook. He hit the Tatars too hard. After several times of personal conquests of Tatars, the Tatars were torn apart, and Wala, who was backed by Daming, took advantage of this to annex many Tatar tribes and grew stronger from then on. In a few decades, Ming Yingzong It was almost the biggest shame of the whole early and middle period of Ming Dynasty to conquest Oiratia personally, but it ended up in one pot.

  Zhang Anshidao: "The mutual market I am talking about is different from the past. It is a real exchange of what is needed. Anything that can be bought by Wala can be bought."

  Alutai and Ha'er Wugai looked at each other in shock.

  You must know that the mutual market in Ming Dynasty is not a simple mutual market. It is strictly limited, and the categories for sale are almost designated. To some extent, this is just a tribute system in disguise.

  But if we really let go of it completely and exchange what we need, we can imagine how much the Nawala people can benefit from it.

   "Duke Wei, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

Although Alutai said this, before Zhang Anshi could react, he continued: "Now that the Tatar tribe has declined, the Oirats will grow stronger sooner or later. Did the Duke not guard against them at all?"

   Zhang Anshi is happy.

  Speaking of which, no matter who the world is, internal fighting is a tradition.

  The Mongols took the internal struggle to the extreme. The only time when the entire Mongolia was united was during the Genghis Khan period. As soon as Genghis Khan died, his sons immediately began to break their heads.

  This Alutai is very real, his life is easy or not, is the second. The important thing is not to make life easier for those country bumpkins in Wala.

  Zhang An Shidao: "Do you think that I, Ming, will still be afraid of the enemies on the grassland?"

  As soon as this remark was made, Alutai nodded quickly.

  It was only then that he realized that the fundamental reason for the so-called complete exchange of needs was that Daming no longer cared.

  Yes, people don't care at all, so what if you grow stronger?

  Perhaps on the grassland, the so-called strength means that you can show off your power, but in front of Daming, after that actual battle, Alutai has already realized that cavalry on horseback is totally vulnerable.

  Arutai said: "Can Tatars and Uliangha people trade with each other?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, I came to find you for this purpose, so that you will return to the grassland in the future, and we will conduct mutual trade and mutual benefit with you. From then on, we will exchange what we need and turn our conflicts into friendship."

  Alutai immediately said happily: "It would be really great if it could be done like this."

Zhang Anshi continued: "However, if we want to trade with each other, we must first establish rules. First of all... we must have a currency, so... if you want to buy my goods from Daming, you must use Ming's silver and copper coins, other currencies, even real gold Silver will not be accepted at all."

This is nothing to Alutai and Haer Wubai. They have seen the silver and copper coins before, and the quality is even higher than most currencies. This thing is gold and silver. Nothing.

  Arutai said: "This is easy to say."

  Zhang An Shidao: "So, the United Bank on our side needs to open a semi-colon in the desert, and you must ensure their safety."

   "Naturally." Alutai said.

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course, purely ensuring safety is not enough. Our businessmen have arrived in the hinterland of the desert, and it is difficult for them to speak to each other. If they violate the law, they must be punished by the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the law of the desert cannot be adopted. .”

  If this is in later generations, it must be a dispute, but for this era without the concept of sovereignty, it seems that how to deal with criminals does not seem to be a big deal.

   What's more, Alutai and Ha'er Wuyi are already in a weak position, and they don't care about it at all.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "In this case, in order to ensure that the merchants and entourages of the Ming Dynasty and other Han people can be tried after committing crimes, then it should be no problem for the commercial bank to send a guard in charge of public security. How about in the name of your name? You draw a place and let the consolation envoys come to station. The Han people stationed here will not be disturbed by you. Within this place, you can conduct trade. In addition, outside this area, you It is also necessary to ensure the safety of Han businessmen and Han people, and if there is any friction, the envoys will negotiate with you to resolve it.”

  Alutai and Ha'er Wuhai began to think about it.

   They feel more and more wrong.

First we talked about doing business, doing business, and then we talked about the bank. After the bank finished talking, we talked about the legal order. After talking about the legal order, we talked about how to maintain the legal order. To maintain the legal order requires judgment and violent institutions. With violent institutions, we must have There is a law enforcement area, which goes around, **** it... how does it seem to be a country within a country.

   "How much space is needed."

"With a radius of hundreds of miles, under the comfort envoy, set up a guard, with a maximum number of 7,500 people. How about it? In the grassland of Wuliangha, which is close to Liaodong, set up the Modong Xuan comfort envoy to Tatar We are also talking about setting up Monan Propaganda and Consolation Envoys, as for Wala, we are probably planning to set up two Propaganda and Consolation Envoys, one in Mobei and the other in Moxi."

  Alutai and Ha'er bowed their heads and began to hover.

  Haer Wubai still has doubts. After all, Haerwubai has three guards, which means that Daming has completely let Da Ming reach into his pasture.

As far as Alutai is concerned, he has no doubts. In the Tatar tribe, he has already declined, and other Tatar tribes may not be willing to accept him, and some even defected to the Wala tribe. , may have to face other Tatar competitors in the future, but once they get the full support of Ming Dynasty, it will be completely different. "

  Thinking carefully, Alutai took the lead in saying: "Yes."

Zhang Anshi said: "Very well, there are some detailed rules. I will teach someone to send them in a few days. If everyone agrees, we will sign a contract at that time. Of course, the contract is only a promise, and it is nothing. How to maintain this contract in the future , is what matters.”

   Screening the two of them away, Zhang Anshi hurried to Zhu Di's place.

  Zhu Di was in a bad mood. Thinking of his ancestors, he felt huge guilt.

   As a result, this gave Yi Shiha a headache, His Majesty woke up from a dream several times, and shouted: "Kill the thief."

   This frightened him, he was afraid that His Majesty would kill someone in my dream, so don't cut yourself off in a daze.

  Meeting Zhang Anshi, Zhu Di said: "Have the men and horses returned yet?"

  Zhang An Shidao; "It should be soon. In just these two days, Your Majesty, I have already talked with Alutai and Ha'er Wugui."

  This matter was mentioned by Zhang Anshi and Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di has been in a turmoil for the past few days, and has no intention of paying attention to these things. Now he didn't expect Zhang Anshi to negotiate so quickly, but Zhu Di was a little surprised.

   "Can this be done?"

   "After the actual battle, they were all honest, and I thought... it would definitely work."

  Zhu Di shook his head: "No, what I'm asking is what's the use of this."

"There are too many uses." Zhang Anshi said: "My Ming Dynasty's goods are of high quality. If people in the desert want to do business with us, they must exchange a lot of cattle, sheep and other products. , the cattle and sheep that may be exchanged are beyond the value of the cloth itself.”

  Zhu Di said: "There are few people in the desert, and the demand is limited. How much can you earn by counting on these...?"

"This is natural." Zhang Anshi said: "But has your Majesty ever thought about it, after a long time, these Tatars and Oirats, after they exchanged their own goods for the goods needed by Ming Dynasty, they found that if they continued to go west For sale, in countries such as Persia and Dashi, you can still sell at a high price, and you can still earn a lot of price difference, so... what will happen? In this world, there are many places that ships cannot reach, and you want to sell things. , you have to go by land, but the land is far away, and the risk is not small. My Ming Dynasty now has the power to operate sea commerce, and I really have no skills. Then... the Tatars and Oirats have become second-hand traffickers, and the demand for them is huge. gone."

  Zhu Di listened: "Silk Road?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "It is the Silk Road."

  Zhu Di nodded: "In this way, there are indeed many benefits."

Zhang Anshidao: "Not only that, the most important thing is that although the Oirats and Tatars are no longer my opponents in Ming Dynasty, they have no other livelihood in the desert and their economy is weak. Therefore, once natural disasters come, I had to find a way to plunder to make a living. Although my Ming Dynasty has far surpassed them in national strength, I still cannot defend against a group of desperate desperadoes. Once this trade system starts to be established, the Oirats and Tatars A large number of people are engaged in business, taking advantage of their nomadic and migratory abilities, we have become their upstream suppliers. The former appeasement is much more useful, I think that once this can be done, this desert will no longer be my Daming's scourge, but instead become my Daming's cornucopia."

  Zhu Di listened: "You boy, you really put your eyes into money's eyes."

Zhang Anshi chuckled: "Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if they want to buy goods from Daming, they have to use my currency. Store them in large quantities. Your Majesty, think about it. When we go shopping today, will we go to the bank to exchange coins and then go shopping because we need to buy today’s goods? No, ordinary people will find ways to save more The better the coins, when you want to buy something, you can just take the coins out and spend them. The nobles and merchants in these ministries will probably need to use the money minted by my Great Ming as reserves in the future."

  Zhu Di said: "What's the use of this?"

"The reason why the value of Baochao collapsed is because... um... Baochao is like a big ship. This big ship is in the sea. Once it encounters wind and waves, it may be in danger of capsizing. To put it bluntly, its ability to bear risks is too low But now, the new currency that I intend to create is trying my best to bind everyone. Now it is in Annan, Luzon, and Java, and in the future it will be Tartar, Wala, and Wuliangha. After that, through their trade , go to a farther place, so that all the countries in the world have stored a large amount of such coins, Your Majesty... It's like tens of hundreds of ships are connected together with iron chains, and I, Daming, are the biggest Once there is a storm, the ability to resist the wind and waves will increase many times compared with the previous treasure banknotes. In addition, the demand for coins on the market will increase greatly. Everyone needs new coins, and a large number of new coins Coins will also be stored in Luzon and Tatar, which leads to the fact that even if more new coins are released, they can still maintain their value.”

"Ten thousand steps back, even if there is a huge crisis in the new currency, think about it, who is more anxious than us? The imperial court is in a hurry, and the commercial banks are also anxious, but the wealth of all countries in the world is the new currency. Once the new currency Crisis, although Daming is hurting, they will lose all their money, so I predict that when that time comes, they will be more motivated to maintain the new currency than my court."

  Zhu Di has always been brooding over the original Daming banknotes.

  After all, Emperor Taizu Gao had a good time, and let that boy Jianwen have a good time, but when he came to the throne, what... Baochao was finished.

  He was very interested in this: "So that's the case, it's just that we mint coins in gold and silver..."

  Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Your Majesty, everything must be done step by step. After minting coins, then in the future...if you find an opportunity, you will issue banknotes again, and everyone will accept it. This is called boiling frogs in warm water."

  Zhu Di said: "If this thing can be done, it will be beneficial for thousands of years, but you have to be careful yourself, these people are very cunning. As for what you want to do, do your best."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  At this moment, a **** trotted over in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the thief catcher... is back, back."

  Zhu Di was very excited after hearing this, he suddenly got up, strode out, and said in his mouth: "I want to see where that dog thief is."

   At this time, the few were waiting outside, and the accompanying Hanlin also hurriedly followed.

   Sure enough, a group of people came back.

  The leader was Zhu Yong. When Zhu Yong saw the emperor, he was startled. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr...."

   "Where is the traitor?"

  Zhu Yong was sweating profusely, and said: "The traitor...the traitor...No, I didn't catch it..."

  As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face suddenly became disappointed, and he turned to look at Zhang Anshi.

  Hanlin on the side heard this, and couldn't help saying: "This is deceiving the superior and the inferior, and this is deceiving the emperor and the superior!"

  Zhu Yong was so frightened that he was dripping with cold sweat.

  But at this time, another **** said: "Your Majesty, there is a group of people from the Thousand Households, who also came back, saying that they are escorting the rebels back."

  Zhu Di was completely confused.

   dizzy.

  He glared at Zhang Anshi: "What's going on?"

   "This matter..." Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "It's a long story, please Your Majesty...Rong Chen to explain in detail, I...deserving death, I really deceived the king."

  As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Di was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

   Bullying the king? This is not Zhang Anshi's style, this guy is so shot to death, how dare he do such a thing?
