Chapter 86 Waiting (Part 2)

As soon as he finished speaking, he illuminated the eyes of everyone in the hall like a thunderbolt.

In the past seventy years since he entered the Central Plains, although every emperor has tried his best to ensure the "uniqueness" and "nobleness" of the Mongols, in fact, the entire Mongolian nation is being rapidly assimilated, which is a trend that no one can reverse. Tonight, everyone present, including Emperor Tuohuan Timur, may feel unfamiliar with the ancient legends of gods and monsters on the grassland, but when they mention many allusions during the Chu-Han battle for hegemony more than 1,500 years ago, they all know them.

When the Western Chuxiong was in power, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang realized that he was unable to compete with the enemy, so he joined forces with all parties to plan for Chu. He conferred Han Xin, the halberd-holding doctor who came to the distance, as the general, and used his title and territory to buy other princes supporting Xiang Yu, and made the latter continue to fall to him. In the end, the battle finally forced Xiang Yu to death, laying the foundation for more than 400 years of the Han Dynasty.

After gaining the country, Liu Bang quickly turned against him, eradicating Han Xin, Ying Bu, Peng Yue and others, killing other kings of different surnames and abolishing them, and finally taking back all the land and rights they had abandoned at the time.

The situation facing the Yuan Dynasty is very similar to the situation in the Han country where Liu Bang was in. Zhu Tuhuo was as powerful as the world but could not win the hearts of heroes. The court was also unable to face the enemy alone and had to join forces outside. While other Red Turban heroes were also hopeless and anxious all day long. Therefore, as long as the Yuan court was willing to let go of his posture and promised land and outstanding titles like Liu Bang treated Han Xin, Yingbu, Peng Yue and others, it might not be impossible to make the Red Turban heroes quickly stand on their own side. As long as Zhu Tuhuo, the biggest enemy, was destroyed first, the rest of the Red Turban princes were not worth worrying. The court could slowly plan and divide it and control it. Sooner or later, there would be a day when the things that had been abandoned before, and even the principal and profit were taken back.

"Then, Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng and others, they all regard me, Mongolia as a foreign race." After a while, Prime Minister Hama took a strong breath and reminded him unwillingly.

The reason why the Red Troops spread so quickly is that in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, one very important reason is that they put forward the very deceptive slogan of "expelling the Tartars". If they defect to the court and turn to deal with the Zhu Tujia, they will cause many heroes to lose their moral foundation and be despised by their respective soldiers and people.

"When Xu Heng had an omen, the barbarians entered China and then China." Sang Ge's reaction was very quick and he gave a response plan without thinking. "The scholars in the world were disciples of Confucius, but the Kong family was favored by the emperor of the Great Yuan and regained the position of Zhengyan Shenggong forty years ago. In addition, Zhu butcher was addicted to the dream of equality, valued the weeds and the people but ignored the heroes. However, I, Dayuan, would like to rule the world with the heroes and famous scholars. Compared with the two, it is more beneficial to support it. The thieves of the Red Troubles should be clear at a glance."

When the king and his ministers present heard about it, their eyes became brighter and cold light appeared in their pupils.

That's right, when the Red Thief rebelled, they did use the inflammatory slogan of "expelling the Tartars", but the slogans cannot be used as food. How to choose the most beneficial to you will ultimately depend on reality.

In reality, what Zhu Tuhu tried to establish an ancient rule that was inseparable from one person to another. Once it was successful, the heroes of the Red Turban would not only not get enough benefits from it, but it would be difficult to reach the sky if they wanted to maintain their current status and power. However, the Yuan Dynasty was just the opposite of Zhu Tuhu. They would respect every capable hero and every scholar-official who waved the flag and shouted for him. They could share the imperial power with them, and they would rule the whole world together.

How could the heroes who have tasted the power that they have already tasted willingly give up? They must fight to the end. Even if they don’t fight openly, they will do their best in secret. This is no longer remembrance when Zhu Tuhuo launched his equality agreement. Other grudges and conflicts can be left behind for the time being. Therefore, in the long run, the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Red Thief should be natural allies, while Zhu Tuhuo is the mortal enemy of everyone in the world.

"Okay, but what if the butcher Zhu is so angry that he will cut off trade relations with the court next year, and the pastures that were only opened this fall in the autumn of the Gyeonggi, should not be abandoned in vain? The spinning wheels that have just been purchased by various manors will be left behind." Hama had no choice but to throw away the most concerned and inconvenient issues he had to open up in order to arouse the alertness of his colleagues present.

The profits of the business with Huaiyang were more or less shared by the ministers in the court. Most of the acquisition contracts of millions of wool were also divided by the fields and pastures under the names of the important officials of the dynasty. As for the new human-powered spinning wheels developed by Empress Qi, led by Guo Shu and others in Liuzhi, they are now sold everywhere. If the trade between the north and the south is cut off, the wool and yarn will be ignored. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of small households will lose their livelihoods and take risks.

So the most terrifying thing that angered Zhu Tuhu was not the war, but the war caused the interruption of trade between the north and the south. From Queen Qi to the ground, whenever he reached the ordinary people near the capital, whoever gained the benefits would suffer losses, and no one could survive alone.

However, this problem still did not stump Sang Ge, who was confident, was shocked. He gently bowed and asked Hama with a smile, "I dare to ask the Prime Minister, when the Second Legion under Zhu Tuhu attacked Jiande Road, did the trade between the north and the south be cut off?"

"Of course not." Hama was slightly stunned when asked, then shook his head with a blue face.

Had Hama known that this would be the answer, Brother Sang smiled and bowed gently again, "When the Third Legion under Zhu Tuhuo was fighting with General Yang Wanzhe in the mountains in a bloody battle, did the court block the canal, thinking that General Yang was Zhang Mu?"

He was far from Hama, regardless of age or experience in officialdom. However, after the two problems were raised, he completely grasped the initiative on the field, forcing the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty to sweat on his forehead, his lips turned black, and his hands kept shaking back. "No, of course, there is no. The court's income in the past two years is less than half of the expenditure. I believe you are very clear about this. If the canal is cut off and merchant ships are not allowed to travel, the consequences will not be afforded by you or I."

"Is that right?" Brother Sang nodded proudly, then raised his chin and glanced at the audience. "Your Majesty, senior colleagues, Zhu Tuhuo sent troops to plunder Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the court refused to cut off the canal and cut off the trade between the two sides. Why is this? It's nothing else, and he can't bear to give up the wealth of finance and taxation. Do you dare to ask if the court alone makes profits from the trade between the two sides, Zhu Tuhuo has been losing money and making a name for himself? Obviously it is impossible. As the younger generation knows, Zhu Tuhuo has a deeper reliance on the profits of trade. Therefore, as long as both sides do not send troops to the Yellow River again, the merchant ships on the canal will not be interrupted. However, the advice given by the younger generations before, the court only needs to issue an imperial edict and openly declare the world, without sending a soldier or any money and food."

"Hiss,." All the powerful ministers present, except for the earth-like faces, all their eyes shone while inhaling vigorously.

As long as the trade routes continue, their own interests will not be lost. After all, the butcher Zhu bought wool away to spin yarn and weaving cloth, and would not be stored in the warehouse and let it rot. As long as the wool fabric continues to be as popular as it is now, Huaiyang, a country of vendors, will never stop production and then refuse to buy wool from the north.

"Good, great kindness." Just when everyone was impressed by Sang Gesli, after the case was destroyed, Tuohuan Timuer's slap in the table came.

It doesn't matter whether the trade is interrupted or not. As the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he could think of other ways to enrich the national treasury. He cared more about the last sentence Sang Geshuli said before, and the court did not need to send out a soldier or a soldier, nor did he need to send any money and food.

"If I can stabilize the world with an edict, why don't I do it? Brother Sang lost his wife? This edict will be drawn up by you. After the edict is drafted, I will immediately use a seal and then transfer it to the officials for the world, Prime Minister, Censor, and Taiwei. You three don't need to hesitate anymore. Anyway, even if this plan ultimately fails, there will be no actual loss to the court." While slapping the table with his hands excitedly, he said loudly, not ready to hear any opposition.

"I am willing to catch the knife for Your Majesty." Sang Ge Shili immediately knelt down and happily accepted the order.

"I, I will obey the order." Hama, Wang's slave, Yue Kuocha'er and others did not dare to raise any objections, and they all bowed to respond.

"Wang family slave, you have raised a good son." Because of the long-term practice of the secret method of Butterfly'er, once Tuhuan Timur became excited, it would be difficult for him to calm down. He held the Yu Case and glanced at the old ministers with gray hair again. He found that Sang Geshu, who was standing beside everyone, was a different kind of young and promising person. "No matter whether this plan works or not, at least, I saw his loyalty and loyalty. I must use such a young talent. Park Buhua, you also draft an order for me. From tomorrow, Sang Geshu will enter the Secretariat and serve as the Secretariat, as a senator of the Secretariat, assisted Hama, and took charge of the world's money and grain. His younger brother Tianhao and Baotong entered the palace to be Qiexue, and accompanied the prince to study and practice martial arts."

"Thank you for your kindness." The Censor Wang's slave was overjoyed. The worry in his heart that he had about being able to offend Hama was instantly wiped out.

Although the Senate Secretary of the Secretariat was a fourth-rank official, far inferior to him as the censor, his position was very critical. Not only could he participate in government decisions at any time, but he was also responsible for supervising the operation of the six ministries and governing the budget for military and national affairs. His other two sons entered the palace to accompany the prince to study and practice martial arts, which meant that the emperor also made a guarantee of the wealth of the next generation of the Wang family. It can be predicted that in the next twenty years, as long as the Yuan Dynasty's destiny will last, the Wang family will be rich and prosperous.

He was so happy that Prime Minister Hama was mixed in his heart. As the leader of all officials, he had no choice but to do anything to the growing Huaiyang thief. However, a younger generation, Sang Gessel, could use his tricks at will and take lightly. After tonight, in the eyes of the emperor and his colleagues, his cautiousness became a fool. However, the son of Wang's slave, whom he once highly praised, became an enterprising, smart and decisive rising star.

With such a rising star, I am afraid that the outcome I had expected before would be much earlier than before, and Wang's slave, who had once advanced and retreated with him, must have found a better choice and no longer had to follow his leader.

Thinking of this, Hama felt a chill in her heart. She looked at the two of Tuohuan Timur and Sang Gesli who were in high spirits, and she never wanted to say a word again.
