Ahmad has always been good at managing money, Kublai Khan used money in many places, only Ahmad could constantly satisfy his appetite, so Kublai Khan has always been obedient to Ahma, even if he knew that Ahmad had done something excessive, he turned a blind eye.

When the ministers saw that Kublai Khan was moved by Ahma's words again, they were all very anxious and had the heart to refute him, but they didn't know how to speak. Ahmad was right in that matter.

An Tong said suddenly: But in this way, wouldn't it be Cheng Yue who could ask for a sky-high price? If he suddenly runs out of stock, the price of goods will suddenly skyrocket, and will the people be even poorer because of this? I think it is necessary to take precautions.?

Ahma said: If Cheng Yue dares to do this, he will not sell him the horse! And what good is it for him to cut off this source of money??

An Tong was also speechless, he always felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't think of anything.

Kublai Khan saw that no one objected anymore, so he said: "Ahma, this matter will be handed over to you, don't let Cheng Yue's price be too high, it must be cheaper than the Song Dynasty." He is my attached horse, can he still pit his father-in-law?? After speaking, I also felt a little funny, and laughed a few times.

Ahma is overjoyed, Cheng Yue's good things are endless, and he has long been fighting the idea of these things. If you can grasp the right to sell these good things in the Yuan Dynasty in your own hands, it will be a big cornucopia, and while making profits for Kublai Khan, you can also make a windfall.

Kublai Khan suddenly had a few more ways to make money, and his mood improved again. Dao: Another thing, I heard that Cheng Yue is interested in attacking Japan and other southern countries, even the small border countries overseas. I was thinking. As long as the end of the war starts. The beacon fires continue. Where does he have time to look north? I have calculated, it is impossible for these countries to be completely pacified in ten years, does it mean that it is impossible for Cheng Yue to start a war with my Dayuan within ten years? What was his idea??

Ah Shu pondered for a long time, then stood up and said: Judging from the disadvantages of our army's last expedition against Japan, Japan's military strength is not weak, and there are more than 100,000 brave and warlike soldiers. Cheng Yue crossed the sea to attack Japan, the road was even farther than ours, and food and weapons could not be supplied. There will be more and bigger warships, and the expenditure on military spending, grain, and grass will naturally be even greater, and it is difficult to say whether it will succeed or not, and the minister is not optimistic. The southern countries are difficult to pass and the road is long, and even if he can defeat it, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Originally, the minister thought that Cheng Yue was attacking the east and west, confusing us to make a sneak attack. But judging by what he did, he really wanted to attack these countries. Chenrong horse for many years. I really can't figure out what good it would be for him to do that. In any case, the minister still thought that the border should be on guard and could not give Cheng Yue the slightest opportunity. If Cheng Yue succeeds, he will definitely be greatly injured, and we can stand by. And if he does not succeed, then his morale will inevitably be low, the morale of the army will inevitably fluctuate, and then all the generals in the army will rise. Our Dayuan prepared in advance, saw the opportunity to make trouble, and attacked with internal and external troubles, how long can Cheng Yue support it? ?

Kublai Khan looked up to the sky and laughed: "What a man who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight!" When he breaks his vitality with great joy, we will have a lot to do!?

Zhang Huidao: The minister thought that he could contact Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong of the Song Dynasty in advance, especially Liu Mengyan. This person is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he has sent someone to test what good it will be if he surrenders to my Dayuan. Now that he is suppressed by Cheng Yue in the court, he must be dissatisfied, and when Cheng Yue fails, he and I Dayuan should cooperate with each other, and Cheng Yue will definitely not escape the collapse.

Kublai Khan was even more pleased, and Zuo Cheng was all the more chapleased. Er was a little worried: What if Cheng Yue set out on the expedition, in order to avoid future troubles, what if he removed Liu Mengyan Chen Yi and others in advance?

Zhang Hui said with a smile: The prime minister is kind-hearted, so he will be deceived by Cheng Yue's tricks. Cheng Yue can obviously get rid of Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong now, why don't you do it? It's because by doing so you will become the target of public criticism. Now his reputation is soaring because of these two traitors there. If they are removed, Cheng Yue will suddenly become a traitor who wants to usurp power, how much will he be scolded? What good is it for his plans? So Cheng Yue will not only not kill them, but will also find a way to keep them, and the prime minister can only rest assured.

Kublai Khan smiled and glanced at Zhang Hui, his eyes full of appreciation.

Kudu Cha'er raised his thumb and said: "Master Zhang can gain insight into Cheng Yue's thoughts, and our chances of winning are one more point.?

Kublai Khan turned to the crown prince Zhenjin and asked, "Have you been sent out?"

Zhenjin immediately said: Erchen has sent more than 300 people, and they will set off one after another in the next few days. The people of Lin'an also issued an order, asking them to provide all kinds of help to these more than 300 people, plus the manpower of Lin'an and Suzhou and other places, thousands of people should not get nothing.

Kublai Khan nodded slightly, and said, "Cheng Yue has sent people to Dadu?"

Jindao: There will definitely be, but I haven't found it yet. Erchen has ordered all yamen to strengthen their vigilance, and if there is a suspicious person, no matter what their identity is, they will be arrested first.

Kublai Khan said: People who have been in contact with Cheng Yue say that he seems to know everything about us, and I don't believe that it was all told to him by Ali Hague and others, and there must be traitors in the court. If this person is not removed, it will be difficult for me to sit still.

Ah Shu's face was solemn, and he said: "The minister thinks that the army should also be investigated in detail. In Cheng Yue's army, there are many generals, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not attract someone in the army to work for Cheng Yue.

Kublai Khan said: Check! You are responsible for this matter, and no one in the army can be used by Cheng Yue!?

Boyan wanted to speak, but the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, but he still didn't say a word.

Zhang Hongfan said: "Great Khan, the minister has something to report to the Great Khan. This matter was extremely important, and the ministers did not dare to hide it from the Great Khan.

Kublai Khan knew that Zhang Hongfan had never made amazing words, and he was also aroused by his curiosity, and said: "You come and listen.?

Zhang Hongfan said: When the minister was going to return to the court, he secretly sent someone to Suzhou once, which was Cheng Yue's old nest, and the minister wanted to know some of the situation there, but he made an astonishing discovery. The minister finally got a thing, and wanted to ask the Great Khan to take a look.?

Kublai Khan smiled and said, "How did you learn to hang people's appetites, bring them to me and show them?"

Zhang Hongfan shouted out, and an attendant walked in with a cloth bag, the cloth bag was very heavy, it seemed to be an iron tool, and it was still emitted when it was put on the ground? Tong? There was a muffled thud on the ground.

Zhang Hongfan stepped forward to open the cloth bag, took out a very delicate and shiny hoe, put it in front of Kublai Khan, and said: "Great Khan, please see, what is different about this hoe?"

Although Kublai Khan did not know how to do agricultural work, he had always seen a lot of hoes, picked them up and looked at them carefully, and then checked them with his hands, and said in surprise: Is this made of stainless steel? Who takes such good steel for a hoe? What a head-deserving!?

Zhang Hongfan said with a smile: "Isn't it the uneasy attachment horse of the Great Khan?" Cheng Yue has a steel mill in Suzhou, specializing in the production of various tools made of stainless steel, including many agricultural tools. Because the production is still small, every time a new product is released, it is immediately sold out. The people sent by the minister did not dare to go to the shop to buy it, and the hoe cost three times the price to buy it from someone else. Because there were checks along the way, it took a lot of twists and turns to transport it to Dadu yesterday. The minister checked with the best blacksmith in most of the capital, and the steel used for this hoe is better than the steel we use to make knives and guns, and if it can be made into arrows, it can also double the power of arrows. The minister felt that the matter was very important, so he immediately sent it to the Great Khan to see.

What?!? not only Kublai Khan, but also the ministers in the main hall gasped. They are all experts at warfare, and of course understand the importance of good weapons to the army. If Cheng Yue can really refine good steel, he can have an advantage in the battle after making it into a weapon, greatly increasing the casualties of the Yuan army, and directly affecting the victory or defeat of the war.

Kublai Khan held the hoe in his hand and frowned deeply, knocked it with his hand for a while, and knocked the tip of the hoe on the ground for a while. He is an expert, and it doesn't take much effort to see that this is really good steel, although it is worse than the steel used in Damascus steel knives, but Damascus steel knives are so rare that the annual production is very scarce. Unlike Cheng Yue, he was so extravagant that he used such good steel to make farm tools.

Boyan said: Great Khan, can you let the ministers take a look?

Kublai Khan took a deep breath and handed the hoe to Boyan.

Boyan looked at the hoe carefully repeatedly, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. He handed the hoe to Ah Shu again, and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, you can exchange horses for steel for Yue, no, you can change it for steel first, and then you can exchange it for something else."

Ah Shu also said: The minister seconded the proposal. The Great Khan married the princess, and he could also follow the rules of the Han people, so that Cheng Yue used stainless steel as a dowry, the more the better. Speaking of this, the tone of the veteran of the hundred battles became very urgent.

Kublai Khan's face turned red and white, and he sighed and said, "It's dangerous!" If it weren't for Cheng Yue's eagerness to make money, he would have sold such a good steel to the market, and once the two armies faced each other, we didn't know how much we would have to suffer.

Kublai Khan looked at Zhang Hongfan and said, "This time you have made a great contribution, and I will definitely reward you heavily." Zhang Hongfan smiled slightly, his expression calm.

Kublai Khan said to Zhenjin: "Pass the order, let those spies be diligent, and everything related to Cheng Yue must be paid attention to one by one, and nothing can be missed."

Zhen King Kong took over these things, and he didn't have any responsibility, of course, he didn't have to ask for guilt, and said: Yes, Erchen understands.

Kublai Khan said in a deep voice: Also, Cheng Yue's side must strive to install a few more people, and he can't sit and wait for the princess to get married. That Cheng Yue, how many secrets are there, the more I think about it, the more uneasy I become.

Zhenjin hesitated for a moment and said: "Father Khan, the defense of the Cheng Mansion is very strict, and it is all his own people. If you want to put someone around him, probably only a woman can approach him.? (To be continued......)
