The two rushed to Chai Ke and Yang He's residence.

This is a big mansion, not only three courtyards, but also a large garden on the side, the introduction of living water around the house, there are quite some pavilions and pavilions vassal elegance.

Feng Ziying didn't see her father and Zhang Jin, but she only saw Geng Ruqi, so she knew that talking to herself this time should belong to Wenchen's internal discussion.

Chai Ke is very clear in this regard, and he also recognizes and trusts Feng Ziying very much, which also makes Feng Ziying very moved.

Ganzhou July is already the height of summer, the scorching sun is in the sky, but in the shade is a cool breeze, particularly pleasant, Chai Ke and Yang He chose a pavilion as a place to talk.

Feng Ziying had already talked about his thoughts with Chai Ke and Yang He before, but he said it relatively simply, he believed that the wisdom of Chai Ke and Yang He would be able to figure out the mystery, and there was no need to explain it himself.

Looking at the situation in front of them, Chai Ke and Yang He already regarded their military praise paintings as their henchmen and think tanks, and Feng Ziying was also quite proud.

It was Geng Ruqi who had also said to Feng Ziying twice in private, saying that Chai Ke and Yang He both had a very good impression of Feng Ziying, and asked Feng Ziying to seize the opportunity.

Geng Ruqi is Chai Ke's confidant who will be recruited personally, and Geng Ruqi is operating this way to plan and arrange and implement the specific implementation, this is Chai Ke's most intimate person, he has a good relationship with Feng Ziying, and these words are actually quite meaningful.

"Ziying, I invited you here this time to discuss the next step." Chai Ke got straight to the point, "This kind of matter should not be delayed any longer, everyone from all sides eats horses and chews, and the consumption is very great, I and Lord Yang have also memorized it, make a decision as soon as possible, I have also repaired the imperial court for detailed matters here, and I think the imperial court will also have an arrangement." ”

There were already servants who brought refreshments, and it was also a bit of a feeling of making tea and talking about heroes.

"I was very interested in Lord Yang and your suggestion Ziying before, but Ziying, have you considered how this operation and feasibility will be feasibility? Liu Dongyang is ambitious, dare to do such a big thing, but he is not a good person, if it is the backlash, what should we do? ”

Chai Ke also had the heart to compare the other party.

"Lord Chai, Lord Yang, if this Liu Dongyang is just an ordinary person, it is better to stop this discussion as soon as possible." Feng Ziying laughed, "This west out of Shazhou and Hami, even though it is not a life of nine deaths, but it is also a battle to expand the territory, and the seven guards of Guanxi have not been recovered since they were lost in the pre-Ming Dynasty, which shows that it is difficult to ,......."

Chai Ke and Yang He both nodded.

"The difficulty lies in the logistical difficulties, and the local alien races are mixed, how to let Shazhou and Hami return to Middle-earth, this will test the skill and courage of the generals, we can try our best to guarantee the logistics, but we must also have the other party to repay the court, otherwise it will be difficult to last, and the court will not be able to agree to ,......"

The words also hit the minds of Chai Ke and Yang He.

In the past few days, they have also repeatedly discussed, it is not a big problem to take Shazhou, and the situation over there is also very clear, but the key is to hold Shazhou, which requires a steady stream of grain and grass logistics supply, and it can be done in March and May for half a year or even a year, but what about the long term?

Can the court agree to throw money into it endlessly?

You have to give the court an explanation.

In such a difficult situation for the imperial court, it is necessary to maintain a Kansai Seven Guards who seem to have little value, in addition to satisfying the emperor's thoughts, you must also have an explanation for the six cabinets.

"Needless to say, the significance of recovering the land is also huge, and at the same time, Turpan has paid tribute for many years in the future, and taking Shazhou and Hami is also a deterrent ,...... it."

Before Feng Ziying's voice fell, Yang He answered, "But it may also anger Turpan......"

"If it was a decade or two ago, it would have been possible, but now there are constant internal disputes in the Yarkand Khanate, and its central area is not Hami, or Turpan further west is only a part of it, so the students think that it is not difficult to recapture Hami, and if it is handled well, there will not be much trouble, of course, if the Yarkand Khanate is unified, it is possible to breed trouble, but this is not a short-term thing,......"

Feng Ziying's explanation made Yang He very satisfied.

"After taking Hami, the entire trade route to the Western Regions can be regarded as open, and its tributary and ordinary trade can continue to enter the court, and the Forte of Shazhouwei can also deter the West Sea tribes in the south, especially the old land of Handongwei is controlled by the West Sea Mongolia, if it can be suppressed, it can also carry out mutual markets, import the horses urgently needed by our dynasty, as a powerful supplement to the Tatar mutual market outside the border wall,......"

Feng Ziying still said it more vaguely, how to make the imperial court feel the value and significance of taking Shazhou and Hami is not a problem at all for Chai Ke and Yang He, the two old foxes.

With such a large piece of resources in hand, where can you not find something that the imperial court likes?

Today, a certain ministry will come to the tribute to send all kinds of gems, tomorrow a certain tribute will send heavenly horses, and the day after tomorrow will import hundreds of healthy horses for the Taifu Temple and the Yuanma Temple, and there is too much good news such as this.

Chai Ke and Yang He exchanged glances with satisfaction, today they recruited Feng Ziying, not to really ask Feng Ziying for advice, but to test how Feng Ziying would respond to the questions of the important ministers of the court and the emperor after she went back, this was their purpose.

Such a big event, how could Chai Yang and the others not have their own ideas, and let your students point fingers and gladly adopt it?

"What about Liu Dongyang's threat?"

"Lord Chai, Lord Yang, Liu Dongyang's life and death are actually in the hands of the two of you, cut off their logistical supplies, and they died without a fight, not to mention that there are still many family members in these rebel tribes who are still in the territory of the Great Zhou,......"

"Then how can Liu Dongyang believe in our sincerity?"

"Liu Dongyang can bring out such a big group of people, and naturally he can also understand the intentions of the two adults, instead of letting them collapse, how can they make meritorious contributions? What the imperial court wants, what the two adults want, Liu Dongyang won't be incomprehensible, he really can't figure it out, let someone remind him, but my lord, don't send students to ,......"

Feng Ziying's witty words made Chai Yang and Geng Ruqi laugh.

"It seems that Ziying also understands the purpose and intention of me and Lord Yang to recruit you, well, that's right, many of the situations here may not be clear to the court and the emperor, and the court and the emperor may not understand the difficulties here, so we need to explain the current situation to the court and the emperor in detail after we go back, and ask the court to support it from all aspects,......"

Chai Ke also directly singled out, "Lord Yang and I can't leave, Chu Cai also needs to stay and plan for me, Zhang Jin's understanding of the situation may not be comprehensive, so I have to ask Ziying to go back, not to mention that Ziying was originally a student in the Hanlin Academy to study history, and was brought by my husband, and it will be half a year since I left, it is estimated that Lord Huang should have a room for me, so this time I go back, Ziying must explain the situation in detail to the court and the emperor, and give me a letter at that time,......."

Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, then solemnly got up and bowed, "Ziying will do her best to live up to the trust of Lord Chai and Lord Yang, but the two adults are here, Ziying still has to say a word, I am afraid that the financial resources of the DPRK and China are quite scarce, it is difficult to support, if it is difficult to raise enough money and food in a short period of time, what should the two adults do?" ”

"Lord Yang and I also have a letter to the two elders of Ye Fang, explaining that this matter is very important, and I implore them to take state affairs first and be sure to ......."

Feng Ziying shook her head, "Two adults, if it's just like this, Ziying is afraid that it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." ”

Chai Yang and the others sighed, or Chai Ke said: "Always give it a try, Ziying has a good plan?" ”

"There is definitely no good policy, if there is, then the princes of the court must have thought of it a long time ago, but there are also one or two strategies to quench thirst by drinking water." Feng Ziying shook her head.

"How to quench your thirst?" Chai Ke and Yang He both smiled bitterly, "But donate?" ”

Donations have existed since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a donation of tribute or an official donation, but even the most absurd emperors and cabinets are aware of the dangers of such methods, so donations are intermittent.

When the imperial court was in urgent need of money, it came out, and donated a lot, but there were not so many positions, and there were many restrictions, which naturally easily discouraged people's enthusiasm, and may not be able to achieve the expected results.

"Donation is also counted, but the effect may not be good, now the imperial court is quite strict, and the donors have schemes, but it is difficult to achieve the goal, so they are not interested." Feng Ziying shook her head, "What Ziying wants is to borrow money from the merchants,......"

"Borrowing? What is pledge and how to repay it? Chai Ke and Yang He both frowned, "Those merchants are all going to use salt tax and Tian Fu as collateral, and the emperor may not agree." ”

Of course, they knew that if they borrowed money from merchants, they would be able to borrow it.

The Shanshan merchant gang in the Great Zhou Dynasty and several major merchant gangs in the south of the Yangtze River are all strong, and this is not counting the specific group of salt merchants.

The problem is that borrowing money from them is all about mortgage and interest, and the imperial court also has a history of borrowing money from them, but the number of times is very rare, and it has to be mortgaged by salt tax or field endowment, and at this time, the most important source of wealth for the imperial court is related to the survival of the imperial court, which is also the most difficult for the imperial court to accept.

Therefore, since Emperor Yuanxi, it has been decided that it is not allowed to borrow from merchants, and now if you want to borrow, I am afraid that you will be impeached by various attacks by the imperial historians.

But then again, you are so mixed up that you rely on borrowing to get by, which shows how miserable you are, and people will definitely not be at ease, so they naturally have to have all kinds of harsh conditions.

At present, Emperor Yonglong definitely does not dare to accept this suggestion, isn't this an intention to recruit the attack of the Taoist officials? In the minds of the scholars, it is almost a symbol of loss of power and humiliation of the country.

"Of course, you can't use salt taxes and land endowments, which are the foundation of the imperial court's wealth, Ziying's idea is to use the opening of the sea as a pretext to borrow money with sea taxes and concessions as collateral?" Feng Ziying then said her intentions.
