Although Gui Yingcha still wanted to say something, Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, continued to speak to himself as if he couldn't see it: "... However, since you are all willing to listen to the persuasion of the imperial court and choose to stop the war and repair it, then I will pay for it myself, and I will not let the people of the grassland see no hope for tomorrow.

Therefore, I will allocate 50,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury, 20,000 taels for the left-wing Mongol tribes, and 30,000 taels for the right-wing Mongol tribes. But I want to say to you first, this is not a reward for you. I have asked you to bring it back to the herdsmen of all the tribes who are in need.

As for you who think that the tribes on the grassland are living in a difficult situation and want the imperial court to help Yunyun, I only want to say one thing to you: everyone work together to tide over the difficulties, and don't pin all your hopes on the imperial court. As the saying goes, people will help themselves, and God will help them. ”

Shunyi King Bu Shitu and Gui Yingcha asked almost in unison: "Your Majesty the Emperor, how can we work together?" The two were suddenly a little stunned, and they couldn't help but stop and look at each other. Then Gui Yingcha continued to ask regardless of it: "My Mongolians are nomadic in all directions, one is not farming, the other is not smelting, if the imperial court does not open the border market, then my Mongolians will have no clothes to wear, no tea to drink, and no pot to cook."

Although the grassland is suitable for grazing livestock, but nomadism is not as good as farming after all, if you encounter a plague, you will have no food and clothing for a year, and if you encounter a black plague or a white plague, the entire tribe may be completely wiped out. Therefore, I am a Mongolian, I have worked hard for several years, but if I encounter a disaster, it will be a waste of hard work.

And although the merchants of the Ming Dynasty brought all kinds of much-needed daily necessities to our Mongolian tribes, once they traded with them, the livestock of each tribe was like a plague.

An iron pot of less than 10 catties can be exchanged for a good horse on the grassland. Two pieces of cloth can be exchanged for a sheep, and a cow is only 2 taels..."

Guiying repeatedly accused the merchants of the Ming Kingdom of deliberately lowering the price of cattle and raising the price of their own goods during the mutual market, and reaped a great deal of benefit from the trade of the Mongol tribes. Therefore, it is not for nothing that they raise the market reward to the imperial court.

For Gui Yingcha's complaint, the leaders of the right-wing Mongolian tribes in the palace nodded again and again, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was a feuding Chahar tribe noble, these Mongolian leaders would have applauded.

Huang Liji, who was standing on His Majesty Dan, listened to Gui Yingcha's accusation, and his face was quite exciting. He was thinking about what words to use to divert the topic when Chongzhen above had already spoken.

Zhu Youzhen was not surprised at all by Guiyingcha's accusation against the Ming merchants, not to mention that in this feudal dynasty where there was no surveillance, it was the information age of later generations, and businessmen who dared to add industrial raw materials to food still existed.

What did Marx say: If capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

If it weren't for the fact that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty could not protect themselves by force, it is estimated that these Mongolian tribes on the grassland would have been eaten and wiped out by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen thought in his heart, and said with a solemn face: "What you said is indeed true, but the behavior of these businessmen cannot be counted on the imperial court and the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Just as you think that these Ming merchants have treated you badly in the transaction, but these merchants are also harming the imperial court. The imperial court opened the border to each other, originally to make the Mongolian and Han people harmonious and friendly.

But now the imperial court spends a lot of silver taels every year, but the Mongolian people have not benefited from it, and the imperial court has not received the gratitude of the Mongolian ministries, which can be described as a lose-lose. On the contrary, a group of unscrupulous businessmen have benefited, don't you think that this kind of market reward system needs to be changed? ”

King Shunyi suddenly asked with some surprise: "How does Your Majesty want to change it?" It's not going to be the end of the market reward, is it? Although there are some outlaws now, but Your Majesty is the Supreme of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you give an order to arrest them all, won't it be solved? ”

The leaders and representatives of the Mongol tribes standing behind the king of Shunyi also spoke out in support of the king of Shunyi, although they hated the unfair treatment they received in the process of mutual market, but it was better than no mutual market. After all, it is only through mutual markets that they can exchange for all kinds of daily necessities they need. Only with these supplies can the mortality rate in the Mongolian ministries be greatly reduced.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "I'm also very embarrassed, as long as they don't force you to buy and sell with knives, what reason do I have to punish them?"

Besides, if I make money in their dealings with you, I'll arrest them. Who will dare to do business with you in the future? Isn't that counterproductive? ”

Chongzhen's rhetorical question made the Mongolian leader speechless. Just when they were a little discouraged, Zhu Youzhen continued: "I want to say that the reason why these businessmen can buy low and sell high for you in the market is mainly because of the time and place of this mutual market.

It is precisely because the time of the exchange market is fixed for only a few days a year, and the location is too far away from the tribes, when some tribes drive their livestock to the exchange market, the livestock has already lost several catties of meat, and it seems that it will not be able to sell it at a good price. ”

Chongzhen's words suddenly reached the hearts of these Mongolian leaders, and a Mongolian leader suddenly said bluntly: "Your Majesty is right, so I think that the time for this mutual market should be placed in the autumn, so that the livestock are fat and strong, and there is a lot of grass on the road, and it is not easy to lose fat..."

Zhu Youzhen nodded at the leader before continuing: "What this leader said is good, but this thing is worthless if it is a large amount. The livestock in the autumn seem to be the most valuable, but if the various ministries come to the market together, will they not be the same as those merchants when they fall? ”

"So what does Your Majesty mean?" Hearing that Chongzhen is not good, that is not good, King Shunyi asked Chongzhen with some puzzlement.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the leaders and representatives of the Mongolian tribes on the left and right flanks and looked at him, as if he was concentrating, and then said openly: "I think, why don't you join forces to open a livestock company?" Don't just think about trading with each other at the border, you can also directly organize all kinds of goods from the grassland and sell them to the mainland.

In this way, you don't have to complain about being cheated by those merchants, and you don't have to count on a fixed number of days of mutual markets every year, and you can slowly breed good breeds of livestock, which can also ensure that your livestock will get better from generation to generation. ”

Chongzhen's proposal not only made several Mongolian leaders fall through their eyes, but even Huang Liji and several officials of the Ministry of Rites subconsciously looked at him. If it weren't for the fear of being rude in front of these Mongol leaders, they would almost immediately have stopped the emperor's madness.

Let these Mongols go to the interior to do business, God knows whether they will go to business or to explore the way. This kind of thought is simply crazy, and Huang Liji's face became a little ugly.

Different from the perception of these Ming people, in Su Changqing's time, the Mongols were also members of the republic, and he did not think that by guarding the border passes, he could make these Mongols submit. Although he did not want to meet the Manchus, in terms of policy towards the Mongol nation, Huang Taiji was undoubtedly the most outstanding in this era.

When he was unable to use such a nuclear weapon as the theory of class struggle, Zhu Youzhen suddenly found that he was at a loss as to how to win over the Mongolian ministries. If the Ming Dynasty continues to rule by razing, I am afraid that soon these Mongolian tribes will be co-opted by Huang Taiji's Manchu and Mongolian integration theory.

No matter how much the Ming Dynasty gave in the city, these leaders of the Mongol tribes would not be satisfied, they would only vacillate between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin and sell themselves for a good price.

Chongzhen can't learn that Huang Taiji can marry the aunts and nephews of the Horqin tribe together without blinking his eyes, and then frantically engage in the marriage of relatives and nobles. Even if he was willing to sacrifice his reputation, the ministers and people of the Ming Dynasty would not agree.

In this way, Zhu Youzhen can only think of another idea. He pondered for a long time, and finally had to borrow a method from later political textbooks. After all, all forms of political organization are nothing more than superstructures built on an economic basis. If the economic base changes, so does the superstructure.

No matter how much Huang Taiji and the Jurchen nobles married into the Mongol tribes and ceded some of the political interests of the Jurchens. As long as the Mongol tribes formed an economic interest group with the Ming Dynasty, then those Mongol feudal lords who wanted to go against the tide would eventually be wiped out by the Mongol people.

Guiying asked Chongzhen with some hesitation: "Is this company a business name?" We Mongolians have always been not good at business, otherwise how could we be deceived by those merchants? Also, would Your Majesty want us to let us into the interior? You don't have to worry..."

Guiying just stopped abruptly, which has some meaning. The leaders of the Mongolian right-wing tribes opposite him also had their eyes flashing, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Zhu Youzhen smiled at Huang Liji, signaling him not to be too anxious, before turning to Gui Yingcha and saying, "If you don't worry, then I must be deceiving you."

Although Hanmeng is a family, the grievances formed by these hundreds of years of war cannot be resolved overnight.

But we always have to look forward, we can't go back to the old state of fighting and killing, don't you think the same way as me? ”

Although he was a little surprised by the naivety of this young man, the Mongolian leaders, whether on the left or the right, quickly responded to Chongzhen's thoughts.

They felt that if Chongzhen really thought so, maybe it would be a good opportunity for them to earn greater benefits.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and continued: "Hanmeng's family, what is a family. It is that everyone should move around more and eliminate misunderstandings, which is called a family.

You say that the Mongols don't do business, they only herd. I don't believe it, who is born to do business? Even we Han people started from ignorance and learned to operate step by step.

Of course, even if you want people to learn to swim, you can't throw people into the sea all at once, because they will drown.

I thought that if you want to learn to do business, you must first learn the Chinese language and the culture of the Han people. Otherwise, how can you communicate with people? Even if you buy medicinal herbs, at least you have to understand the materia medica, right?

Therefore, I propose to set up a primary school in each league and banner to learn Chinese language and arithmetic, and cultivate their own business talents for the Mongolian people..."
