To destroy the finances of the Jin State and destroy the livelihood of the Jin State, not only will the construction of the Jin State in Guanzhong in the past nine years be in vain, but it also means that the people of Guanzhong will inevitably encounter a disaster and be in dire straits.

Wang Yan naturally knew this, but he was still very interested in Chen Yonghua's words, and when he climbed to his position, he had compassion for the heavens and people, but he also needed to have a heart of stone.

For the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Jin Kingdom were in a hot situation, so Wang Yan was able to respond to the people, send troops to rebel, and relieve the people from hanging.

At this time, Chen Yonghua said, "Prison country, it is not difficult to destroy the people's livelihood in Jin country. Isn't the Jin Kingdom now about to reopen the Silk Road, and the workshops in the Guanzhong region are booming? ”

Everyone looked at him, and Xia Wanchun's eyes lit up, "President Chen wants to fight the idea of these workshops!" ”

"It's not there!" Chen Yonghua said: "Under the pressure of our DPRK's military expansion, the Jin Kingdom will inevitably expand its army, but the expansion of the army requires financial resources, and the fastest money is commerce. At this time, the Jin Kingdom must be in special need of money. Then we'll do something good and give them some deadly money. ”

If the Jin State wants to expand its army compared with the Ming Dynasty, the finances will definitely be unbearable, and it will inevitably want to increase its revenue, and the most benign way is to develop commerce and collect sustainable commercial taxes.

Several people in the hall fell into deep thought, and they didn't understand it too much, but Wang Yan seemed to grasp a little bit of the pulse, after all, he had also fought with merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang back then.

At this time, Wang Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "How to send this fatal money?" ”

"Let the firms reduce their supply of cotton cloth and cotton to the country, turn to mass purchases, raise the prices of these items, strictly check smuggling at all passes, double the taxes collected, and change them to large-scale hoarding. On the one hand, it reduces the flow of cotton cloth and cotton into the country and raises the price of cotton cloth, and on the other hand, it instructs people to place more orders and send money to the merchants of the country, so that the merchants of the country feel that it is profitable, and they will increase production. Chen Yonghua said.

Judging from Daming's experience over the years, Wang Yan immediately understood, and he couldn't help but light up his eyes, "This is in the market, causing a shortage of cotton cloth, raising the price of cotton cloth, and under the full production of Jinguo's workshops, the demand for cotton has also increased, which will drive the value of cotton higher." In this way, the Guanzhong clan and the people will definitely switch to cotton. And when we reach a certain scale, we cancel the list and let go of the supply to the country, the cotton collected by the merchants of the country at a high price, the cloth woven by the merchants of the country at a high price cannot be sold, the newly built looms, but they cannot be started, and the workshops will close down one after another. The large-scale replanting of cotton by the people will also cause a reduction in grain production, and in the end, the value of cotton will plummet, and the people who grow cotton will also lose all their money, and the people will go bankrupt one after another. That's what Fufu thinks, right? ”

Da Ming had experienced these things before, and Wang Yan soon knew Chen Yonghua's intentions. However, to do this, one's own silver reserves must be very strong, if it is less, it may be smashed in one's own hands, but for the Five Virtues, there is no problem of insufficient silver.

"Prison Wisdom Wise!" Chen Yonghua saluted and said, "That's right! In fact, not only cotton, but also sending people to buy tobacco at a high price in Jinguo, it will also make the people of Jinguo change tobacco on a large scale. In this way, on the one hand, the expansion of the Jin army requires military salaries and money, and on the other hand, the domestic business is closed, the civilians are bankrupt, and the grain production is reduced, and it is difficult for the Jin country not to be chaotic. ”

Now everyone understands that it is really insidious, and killing people is invisible. I'm afraid that this will not only make the Jin country chaotic, but when the merchants of the Jin country go bankrupt, and the value of cotton cloth and cotton plummets because of overproduction, the merchants led by Wude are afraid that they will start to sweep the Jin country, and the money that raised the price of cotton cloth before will be recovered, and they can even make a lot of money.

The accumulation of the Jin State firm in the past few years may be swept away by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and returned to its original shape.

Wang Yan pondered for a while, and the corners of his mouth gradually widened back, "This method is good, but the Jin Kingdom is not stupid, will they be fooled?" ”

Chen Yonghua said confidently: "This requires the imperial court to put pressure on the Jin State to expand the army, so that the Jin State is in urgent need of silver money in the expansion of the army, and on the other hand, it gives the Jin State the illusion of peace, so that the Jin State mistakenly thinks that it takes time for our court to train the army, and it will not use troops in the short term." In this way, even if the Jin country finds that the value of cotton cloth is rising, and there is a scene of changing cotton cultivation in the country, it will drink to quench its thirst in order to expand its armament and war. Moreover, we only raise the prices of cotton cloth, cotton, and tobacco, and will not cause the value of other items to grow wildly, as long as the action is more secretive, the gold country may not notice. ”

Xia Wanchun listened to it for a long time, and had already touched Chen Yonghua's intentions, so he stood up and said: "Prison country, the people chase profits, and most of them are short-sighted, as long as the value of cotton and tobacco is much higher than the income from growing grain, Jin Guo can't help it if he wants to." During the Chongzhen Dynasty, it was forbidden several times, but the squires below still stole the seeds. Moreover, unlike this dynasty, the Jin State is not like this dynasty, and its domestic officials and gentry are large and the army is entrenched in one place, which makes it even more difficult to manage. ”

In this way, even if corn and other crops flow into Jinguo, Jinguo's grain production will not increase much.

Wang Yan nodded, "Okay, Fu Fu will write a plan for this matter, and I will discuss it with the cabinet again." ”

As a superpower with huge comprehensive strength, the Ming Dynasty now dealt with the enemy not only by using troops, but also by other channels. If it succeeds this time, it can actually use the same method to stifle this potential competitor in Japan's new textile industry.

At this time, Xia Wanchun did not sit back, he waited for Wang Yan to finish speaking, but suddenly solemnly hugged his fists and said: "Jian Guo, the method that President Chen said just now is feasible to deal with Jin Guo, and it is also applicable to domestic businesses and workshops." If a firm with strong financial resources is eyeing other workshops, it can also raise the price of goods, place an order first, tempt the workshop to increase production, and then cancel the order, forcing the workshop to break off its funds, and then encroach on other people's assets at a low price. The minister thought that in order to prevent the emergence of such vicious competition, the imperial court should have a commercial law to severely punish businesses that disrupt the market and take advantage of opportunism. ”

Wang Yan glanced at Xia Wanchun and couldn't help but nodded, this situation must indeed be forbidden, and it is not allowed to appear within the Ming Dynasty. "Well, this matter, Lone will let the Criminal Department handle it. Wan Chun mentioned this matter, and Lone also remembered that I was constantly banning tobacco planting. In this case, let's think about it, whether we can form a standard for this tobacco planting. ”

Chen Yonghua thought for a while and said: "In fact, there is no particularly good way to do this, but to impose heavy taxes, restrict the market for tobacco, or manage the planting, plant a large area in Nanyang, and reduce the price of tobacco to a certain range." After the profit is reduced, the planting will naturally be controlled. ”

Wang Yan nodded, with the development of commerce in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yan and a large part of the officials in the Ming Dynasty gradually had a certain understanding of business and the market, "These two methods can be tried." What the imperial court is most afraid of is that the people will swarm to do one thing, and in the future, it is necessary to strengthen more control in this area to prevent the occurrence of risks. ”

Several people in the hall all said yes, and Xia Wanchun also returned to his place.

At this time, Wang Yan provoked another topic, "The Donghu Kingdom is in the alliance of the Jin State, and the attention of our dynasty should not only be on the Jin State, but also pay more attention to this Donghu." The imperial court's defense in Yunnan was actually relatively weak, and if Donghu invaded Yunnan, it would be able to attack Sichuan with the Jin State. This is also a great scourge for our court. How can a few people do anything about this Donghu? ”

The Jin State and Donghu are the main threats of the Ming Dynasty now, and after discussing the way to deal with the Jin State, Wang Yan wanted to talk about this Donghu as well.

However, this Donghu is not like the Jin State, the domestic commerce is not developed, and there is not much trade with the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yonghua drank tea, and Xia Wanchun, Gu Yanwu and others, after exchanging a domain, Xia Wanchun said: "Prison State, to a certain extent, this Donghu is afraid that it is more difficult to deal with than the Jin State." ”

Wang Yan put down the teacup, looked at him seriously, and listened to him continue: "What the minister means is not that the national strength of Donghu is stronger than that of Jin, but the position he is in, it can be said that it is a poor mountain and bad water, especially in the northern part of Donghu, which is a vast mountain forest, even if there are 100,000 soldiers, it is difficult to pass through. Besides, there are only more than 30,000 officers and soldiers in our dynasty who are suitable for the climate in the South Seas, and it is not easy to deal with Donghu! ”

This time the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Nanyang, more people died of illness than those who died in battle, and in the end, except for the soldiers from Liangguang and Yunnan, the rest of the men and horses returned to Guangzhou first, but the Ming Dynasty did not have so many soldiers suitable for fighting in Nanyang.

In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the state of Donghu was not very strong, but its terrain and location provided him with a good protection.

Wang Yan frowned, "This Donghu country also has 100,000 armor, isn't it only him who can fight us, but it is difficult for our dynasty to destroy them?" ”

Xia Wanchun arched his hand and said: "Prison Country, it is indeed a little troublesome, but it is not impossible to deal with them. On the one hand, our DPRK can support Ainengchi and harass Donghu from the north, and on the other hand, our DPRK can also use Annam, Quang Nam, Cao Ping, Chenla, and Siam to contain Donghu from the east and let Donghu take care of itself. Of course, our dynasty also needs to train a strong army in Yunnan and Guangxi, so that even if Donghu really cooperates with the Jin state, our dynasty can deal with it calmly. ”

"At present, it can only be like this, but the iron still needs to be hard, training must be put in the first place, and the others can only be regarded as auxiliary strategies!" Wang Yan bowed slightly, and then asked, "Then how is Ainengqi now?" ”

Ai Nengqi was one of the four kings of the Great West, and after Sun Kewang established the Great Western Kingdom in Yunnan, he clashed with the Ming Dynasty, and he guarded Yunnan.

When Sun Kewang led his troops north to take Sichuan, he was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and Ai Nengqi also fled into the northern part of Donghu after the Ming army entered Yunnan, and the time was also four or five years.

Xia Wanchun was in the military department, and he was familiar with these news, so he replied: "Prison country, Ai Nengqi is active in the Shan state area on the border between Donghu and our DPRK, and Donghu's army has failed several expeditions and suppressions. According to the news from Yunnan, there are more than 10,000 people in Ainengqi, and they control more than 10 toasts, which can be regarded as having a certain strength, and our dynasty can use it. ”
