Chapter 132: What about giving the Turks salt and iron? (Third explosion today)

Whether it is the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, or the Three Kingdoms Wei and Wu, the northern nomads have always been a big problem for the people of the Central Plains. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin Shi Huang was also going to build the Great Wall, and although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had Huo Quai's wolf Juxu, he never pacified the north.

The Qin and Han dynasties were so powerful, Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was punished even if he was far away. But these two eloquent emperors only barely made a draw with the nomads, and the later dynasties such as the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty were in vain, and they always looked up to people and were always beaten casually by foreign races.

Especially in the Wuhu Chaos era, the Central Plains was almost killed into white ground, the mountains and rivers were broken, there was no one for thousands of miles, and the skulls of hundreds of thousands of people were taken to build a Beijing Temple to show off their martial arts.

The northern wolf clan has long become a pain in the hearts of all Han people.

It's not that I don't want to fight, it's just that people are too strong. Especially in the late Sui generation, the Turks suddenly rose from the steppe, and their combat power far exceeded that of their predecessors, the Xiongnu, and the Han nation could not compete with them at all during several invasions.

Such a powerful nation, Han Yue said that he would be destroyed in three years. If it were an ordinary emperor, he would immediately pull him out and behead him, but Li Shimin was a man of great talent, and he also had lofty ambitions in his heart, and what Han Yue said directly resonated with him.

"Boy, tell me what you think!" He stretched out his hand and beckoned, motioning for Han Yue to come to his side to speak, while continuing to ask, "Obviously, the opening of the mutual market will make the Turks stronger, why do you have this confidence to extinguish it in three years?" Although I know that I am still young, I am not a person without a purpose, so I will tell you about it and let you understand it. ”

Li Shimin said this, suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled over two chairs, he sat on one of his own big Malaysian golden knives, pointed to the other, and encouraged: "Sit down and say!" ”

The ministers of the big tent were all stunned, and Han Yue also shivered, feeling that his legs were trembling.

You must know that it is a regular discussion in the army now, and the pattern is no worse than that of the early morning and early morning, but in such a serious scene, the emperor made two chairs for him to sit down, and the chairs were placed in a way that was not divided into high and low dignity...... What is this trying to do? Do you deliberately set up a trap and then find fault and cut off my head?

Han Yue swallowed his saliva quietly, and smiled cautiously: "It's better for the minister to stand and speak, it's good to stand, speak energetically, and it's easy to organize language." ”

Li Shimin stared at him with blazing eyes, and it was not until he stared at Han Yue that he felt uncomfortable, and the emperor smiled slightly, and said: "The courage of the stinky boy is not good, you need to practice well in the future, and strive to always have the domineering spirit that should be good at the king's life, I really look forward to this." ”

Han Yue's head was in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to take advantage of these words.

Seeing that he didn't fight back, Li Shimin suddenly snorted, waved his hand and said indifferently: "If you don't want to sit, just stand, I won't scare you, start your play!" ”

Han Yue took a long breath, and then he realized that Li Shimin was originally scaring himself, and the reason was self-evident, he was definitely venting his private Turkic market.

However, this matter has to be explained, if you want to achieve the great goal of captive breeding the entire grassland, without Li Shimin's full help, it is a fool's dream.

"Your Majesty!" Han Yue bowed lightly, and while organizing his words, he slowly spoke: "Since ancient times, the Central Plains has strictly controlled the salt and iron in the north to restrict the development of nomads, this method seems to be useful, but in fact, it is sowing trouble for yourself!" ”

"Well, why is that?" Li Shimin had not yet spoken, but a voice sounded in the big tent, curious: "The grassland people lack salt and iron, so I will strictly control the flow of these two people in the Central Plains, this law has been implemented since the Qin and Han dynasties, and it has never been opened for thousands of years." According to what the Marquis of Jingyang said, are so many sages in the past dynasties wrong? ”

This person didn't deliberately target Han Yue, but questioned the facts. Han Yue turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "This lord, listen to my analysis, it's not that the sages are wrong, but this time and that time. Why should we restrict the flow of salt and iron into the grassland, to put it bluntly, it is a means of economic strangulation. Without salt, nomads could not develop their populations on a large scale, and without iron, they could not forge murderous soldiers. ”

"In that case, why does Jingyang Hou still want to open a mutual market? Knowing that the Turks would develop rapidly with salt and iron strength, they still had to sign this kind of alliance with the other party, and the old man heard that you had the upper hand in the negotiations at that time, so there was no need to destroy the Great Wall by yourself......"

Han Yue laughed and said, "How could I self-destruct the Great Wall? This hat can't be buttoned indiscriminately, if it arouses His Majesty's suspicion, maybe he will pull me out and cut me off. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand at the minister and said, "Brother Keming, don't disturb him for the time being, let this kid finish everything and then you will judge." ”

It turned out that this minister was the famous minister of the early Tang Dynasty, Du Ruhui, the word Keming, his person was far-sighted, had the ability to strategize, and Fang Xuanling was called 'Fang Mou Du Xuan', which was Li Shimin's left and right arms.

With Li Shimin coming out to stop him, Du Ruhui didn't say much, but his face was still full of worry, fearing that the emperor would be blinded by the goal of destroying the grassland in three years.

Han Yue didn't expect that it was this great god who questioned it, he watched the Sui and Tang Romance TV series before he crossed over, and the one he admired the most was Du Du Ruhui. He coughed lightly and said to Du Ruhui: "Boss, please listen carefully, and I will inform you of the pros and cons of opening a mutual market." ”

"Jingyang Hou, please speak, the old man listens."

Han Yue nodded lightly and continued the previous topic: "The opening of the mutual market will definitely not change the strength of the Turks in a short period of time, because we will only supply them with iron pots and other things, and we will not be stupid enough to sell carbon steel to others." This would make it difficult for them to craft weapons even if they wanted to, and they had to melt the cauldron before they could reforge it. But the Turkic iron smelting technique is not good, give him 100,000 iron pots a year, and he can melt 10,000 mouths is not bad. ”

"10,000 iron pots can also hit a lot of scimitars, Jingyang Hou still needs to remember!" Although Du Ruhui listened attentively, he still couldn't help but interject.

"Don't be afraid!" Han Yue waved his hand magnificently and said lightly: "Even if they have the ability to melt 10,000 iron pots, they will definitely be reluctant to melt them." As far as I know, the Turks are extremely short of iron pots and other things, and many tribes and even dozens of people share a pot to cook rice. In the first year, they didn't have time to be a treasure for the iron pot we provided, so where would they take it out and melt it? ”

When he said this, he looked at Du Ruhui and said confidently: "If the Turkic nobles dare to force the tribes to contribute iron pots, believe it or not, they can immediately cause a grassland rebellion." Not to mention that Jieli didn't dare to do this, even their Immortal Heaven and the Wolf God had to stare at it dryly. As the old saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and His Majesty also said that water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, and this truth is also suitable for the grassland. ”

"It's a novelty!" Du Ruhui nodded slowly, and suddenly asked again: "What about salt?" ”

"Salt is even more fine." Han Yue laughed and quipped: "This thing is a civilian resource, even if it can expand the population of the Turks, how many babies can they have in three years?" One thousand, two thousand, what if it is a million? What can a three-year-old doll do except wear open crotch pants, Lord Du will not be afraid that they can invade the Central Plains on horseback. ”

Du Ruyan laughed out loud and said, "Jingyang Hou is funny, although the old man is old, he will not be afraid of a three-year-old child. ”

"Isn't that the end of it!" Han Yue looked up to the sky and snorted, suddenly his face turned cold, and he said lightly: "After three years of salt and iron in the mutual market, the Turks will definitely not be able to develop." But I can do countless things in these three years, and by the time they find out, their destruction is not far away......"

"Hmm, what does Jingyang Hou want to do in three years to be so confident?"

"Jing. Aid. War. Contend! Han Yue paused, and a wisp of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

No one knows better than him the ruthlessness of the colonial economy, which is the best means of fundamentally controlling a people.
