The way of the emperor is essentially the 'way of balance'.

Only when there is competition can the productive forces be stimulated and the production relations improved, so as to improve efficiency, but the line can be controlled by the master.

The next day, after returning to Haicheng, Bumu Butai did not rush to move to Xu's mansion, but found an opportunity to come to Xu Changqing's inner study and talk to Xu Changqing about some of the cultural scenery of Mongolia at this time.

She had actually vaguely captured what Xu Changqing wanted at this time, but it was still a little bit worse and she couldn't be completely sure.

"Madam, do you mean that the interior of Horqin is not monolithic?"

Xu Changqing poured a full teacup for Bumu Butai with his own hands, and looked at Bumu Butai's beautiful eyes warmly.

Bumu Butai held the teacup and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Changqing, you should know these things very well." Since the Qing Dynasty conquered the Horqin grassland, it has been purged every few years. At that time, any superfluous male who was taller than the wheels would be killed. Do you think that we Mongolians will really die for the Qing Dynasty? ”

Xu Changqing was slightly silent for a while.

I have to say that the old slave's trick looks a bit brutal, but it also captures the inferior nature of people very well.

Catch a faction, fight a faction.

At this time, the vested interests of the Horqin grassland were already Taiji, who were friendly with the Qing Dynasty, and those tribes who longed for freedom and longed for the unfettered life before had become slaves, and many of them were even gone.

There is definitely a deep contradiction hidden in this.

But at this time, the Great Qing Kingdom was still in its heyday, and the framework was very stable, and it would never work to engage in the future at such a time.

It's hard to even find a little trouble.

Ultimately.

Before the wisdom of the people is opened, who dares to risk their own lives?

Having said that, the old slave was able to start a family at the beginning, and laid the great foundation of the Qing Dynasty, whether it is vision or means, it really surpasses countless people in this era, especially the strategy of Horqin, which is the key cornerstone of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's later take-off.

Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't speak, Bumu Butai was not in a hurry, just like a quiet lily, just sipping tea lightly.

This is the charm of mature women.

They know what to do and when.

After a while, Xu Changqing said slightly hoarsely: "Horqin people, what do you have in terms of raising horses?" ”

In later generations, although Xu Changqing has never been to Horqin, he has seen a lot of information about Horqin on the Internet, which is definitely a place favored by the heavens.

Not only is the climate good, the water and grass are fertile, and there are basically no major natural disasters.

Bumu Butai finally captured Xu Changqing's core at this time, and said with a smile: "Changqing, we Mongolians are born to raise horses, and we really have a lot of experience in raising horses. Horqin is rich in water and grass, and it is a good place to raise horses. Over the years, more than half of the war horses of the Great Qing Kingdom have been provided by the Horqin tribes......"

Bumu Butai explained in detail to Xu Changqing.

Really excellent war horses, from with. The requirements for the species were extremely high from the beginning, and the Mongols already had a very complete system for this.

Although the departments are different, the general framework is very different.

In short, the cost of cultivating a qualified war horse, even if it is a Mongol, is very high, and the Qing Dynasty is also extremely cautious when dealing with this aspect, the court raises a part of it itself, and the minions raise a part of it for each family, so as to share the risk.

For example, one of the annual taxes of the Han people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty was 'pigweed', which was to store the forage needed by the war horses when they went on expeditions.

In other words, it's a national thing, 'up and down' to make sure nothing goes wrong.

After speaking, looking at Xu Changqing's silent thoughts, Bumu Butai said again: "Changqing, although the Great Qing Kingdom is strictly guarded in this regard, if you really want to buy a horse, I can still help you find some doorways." The cost may be slightly higher, and it will take a lot of long distances. But it should be of better quality than the war horses on Chahar's side. ”

Bumu Butai speaks to her core.

When she comes to her position, she naturally understands that a woman, beauty alone is useless, and she has to be valuable to men and help men do things.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly: "It's no problem that the price is expensive, as long as the quality of the war horse can be ensured." But, Yu'er, do you have a way to get a good seed. Horse? ”

"Seed, seed. Horse? ”

Bu Mu Butai was stunned for a moment, he didn't even notice that Xu Changqing had changed her name, he didn't expect that Xu Changqing's plot would be so big. Horse!

If it is said that it is sold to Xu Changqing's war horse, once those Mongolian tribes find out that something big is going to happen, many people will die. Horses, then, I'm afraid the whole tribe will have to be buried with you......

Bumu Butai is not afraid of this, but that raising horses is extremely complicated, even more delicate than people, and if he is not careful, even if Xu Changqing's family business loses everything, it is not surprising.

"Changqing, you, you're really seeding. Horses? It's not a good job, and if it fails......"

Xu Changqing suddenly smiled, "It's okay." I can handle it. Yu'er, help me! ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing shook Bumu Butai's jade hand hard.

“……”

Bumu Butai was speechless for a while, but the warmth from Xu Changqing's palm made her regain a lot of strength, and she nodded and said, "Changqing, buy seeds from Horqin. Horses are hard, almost impossible. However, we can try to talk to the Cossacks further north. Those people, like savages, are tall and horse-tall, and can easily be seven or eight feet tall, and the quality of their war horses is better than that of us Mongols. In addition, you can ask Namu Zhong to talk to the Taiji on Chahar's side, and try to be foolproof......"

……

Bumu Butai stayed in Xu Changqing's inner study until it was almost dark, and then left.

Xu Changqing didn't rush to eat, but stayed in the inner study, thinking more carefully about many of the details.

At this time, this is the case, the north has absolute suppressive power over the south, on land.

Because the resources of war horses have always been controlled by the northerners.

When the Ming Dynasty still owned Guangning, most of the war horses were provided by the nearby Duoyan Department, but even so, the Mongols kept a hand on the Ming Dynasty and rarely gave seeds. horses, especially excellent breeds. Horse.

Today, although Bumu Butai has perfected his ideas, he has also given Xu Changqing a very mature system. After the horse, get more Mongolian slaves who are skilled in equestrianism to raise horses.

But then there will be a huge amount of space, various infrastructure and follow-up investment.

In addition, the Cossacks wandering in the Siberian region are not good at stubble, they are famous for their two or five boys, and they are mothers when they have milk.

It is true that it can be done, so try it with them first, but it is still very difficult to really trade.

"I'm irritable!"

Rao is Xu Changqing, and he kept tearing his hair irritably.

But Da Ming wants to really get up, especially if he wants to maintain the initiative in the war against the Qing Dynasty, which is a hurdle that has to be crossed in the past.

No matter how difficult it is, Xu Changqing has to rise to the challenge!

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Changqing finally made up his mind and contacted the Cossacks first!

Even if you use money to smash it, you have to smash it out of a way!

……

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had completely lost control of the Northland.

Even though Datong and a small part of Shanxi, including Ningxia and other places, and some areas are controlled by the old Ming Dynasty, the middle is cut off by the Qing Dynasty, and it still costs a lot to get in touch.

The only advantage is that Xu Changqing's sworn brother Wang Pu is still in Datong, barely holding on.

However, Wang Pu's time is estimated not to be too much, at most, in the next year, Dolgon will definitely do something to him!

This also means that Xu Changqing must get the way through before the year!

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Changqing still decided to let Ergou go.

No way.

The model army seems to be stable, but there are still too few talents, especially the person who can make Xu Changqing really trust, there is only Ergou.

At dinner, Xu Changqing ate with Ergou, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he told Ergou about this decision.

Ergou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't shirk at all: "Handsome, I will do my best!" ”

Xu Changqing's heart warmed: "Ergou, if you have a choice, my brother will definitely not let you go, but the stakes are very high, and my brother can't trust others!" You prepare for ten days, and then set off after you are thorough, remember, bring a lot of hands. When you get to Datong, talk to Wang Pu well, and he will give you the greatest support. In addition, Wang Pu's side ......"

Xu Changqing thought for a while: "It's better to let him prepare in advance, it's really not good, just go to Ningxia to break through, and then find a way!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Ten days later, under the evening sunset, Ergou and his group of more than 200 people did not attract anyone's attention, just like an ordinary caravan, quietly left Haicheng.

Xu Changqing couldn't even see them off, so he could only find an excuse to patrol the camp and watch them leave from the city.

On this trip, they will make a detour to the Central Plains, passing through the complex area at the junction of Shun and Qing at this time, and the crisis can be imagined.

If it weren't for the new emperor's accession to the throne, there were many affairs in Nanjing that Xu Changqing needed to appease and deal with in person, and Xu Changqing would have to go in person.

There is no turning back from the bow!

At this time, the matter had already been done, and Xu Changqing didn't think much about it anymore, and instead focused his eyes on Haicheng.

Today is July 11, and although there are still more than ten days before the official start of the Oiran selection competition, the atmosphere has already been brought up.

According to Liu Ru's preliminary statistics, as of this afternoon, there have been more than 500 Qinglou who have come to sign up.

At least three or five Qing officials from each family participated in the selection.

And there are many more families on the way.

Breaking a thousand homes may be a bit hanging, but I'm afraid it's not a big problem to get close.

What is this concept?

This means that at least 5,000 beauties will be involved in this matter......

It's comparable to the draft girl of the year......

Rao is Liu Ru is very experienced, but he didn't expect it to be so popular, and he was really under a lot of pressure.

During this time, Gu Hengbo, Kou Baimen, Bian Yujing, Chen Yuanyuan, including Dong Xiaowan and other women, all put down the affairs at hand and concentrated on this Oiran selection competition.

Including Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, they often come over to help and solve some problems.

After sending them off, Xu Changqing came to the Haicheng Hotel, the core office of the Oiran Selection Competition, and it was already dark, but Liu Ruis and Gu Hengbo had not eaten yet, and they were arranging the information of various beauties with dozens of bookkeepers.

Even Xu Changqing was a little speechless.

After this wind rises, you can't suppress it if you want to!
