(Thank you QS Demon Dao for the tip!) I will continue to work hard! Ask for some more collection recommendations, thank you! )

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "Yes, the strategy of long-distance and close attack is good, but it doesn't solve the urgent need." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoNow that my face is damaged, I have to get back to the field. I have called you today to hear what you think. ”

At this time, Jiang Yu, the privy envoy of the Military Staff Department, who had always been silent, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this battle can't be fought, and soldiers can't be sent, how can you find a way to get back?" ”

Xu Chongguang nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes, if you don't use the sword soldiers, how can you punish such a villain?" ”

The rest were silent, believing that the matter was quite powerless. Lu Chengqi also knew that the concept of these people had not yet reached the level of later generations, and they would not make the most of their country's advantages. The Great Shun Dynasty is equivalent to the Song Dynasty in the official history in this time and space, and it is not necessary to say that the hard power is the strongest, but it is not weak; Soft power, which is recognized as the strongest.

And the economic and technological level in hard power is the highest in the world, so why not use it? After Lu Chengqi said this idea, he wanted to induce these important ministers of the country to think in this direction.

Xu Chongguang and Lin Zhenzhong are worthy of being the people who are the secretary of the household department, and they immediately realized what Lu Chengqi meant. Xu Chongguang glanced at Lin Zhenzhong, and Lin Zhenzhong said cautiously: "Your Majesty means to start with the trade route?" ”

Lu Chengqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, Lin Qing's understanding is relatively good. But that's not all, the effect of our efforts is a complete blockade of trade and the export of technology from Goryeo. Drove the merchants of Goryeo out of the Daesun Dynasty and confiscated their property. The import of all goods from Korea was stopped, and the borders of Korea were completely blocked. ”

When the officials heard about Lu Chengqi's economic sanctions, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, they had never heard of this kind of move, they had never seen it, and they didn't know what the effect was, but according to the strength of the Great Shun Dynasty, it was not difficult to do this. It's just that this is too ruthless, which is equivalent to killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, and how many merchants in the Dashun Dynasty survive by trading with Goryeo, they don't know. But there will be no shortage of people. As soon as such sanctions are introduced, I am afraid that these people will be the first to be hurt. If they make trouble, it will be a big trouble.

After Wu Xianzhi, the secretary of the ministry, said his opinion, Lu Chengqi nodded. In fact, his opinion is also the opinion of the people, and he put it forward only through his mouth. Lu Chengqi said: "Yes, economic sanctions are a move to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, but my Dashun Dynasty has a prosperous economy, how can it be compared to a small Goryeo country?" In doing so, I only lost a small market, but the gain was to weaken the enemy's strength. For those merchants who have lost their livelihoods, I have a way to compensate for their losses. Zhu Qing may not know how lucrative the sea trade is, right? Lin Qing, you are the head of the household department, can you tell me, what is the tariff income of the shipping department in the last year? ”

Lin Zhenzhong recalled it carefully and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since the opening of the Ship Division in March, the tax has reached 27 million. ”

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "This is just a trade with the Japanese country, and there can be such a huge profit. Wouldn't Ruozhen's merchant fleet, which went to Dashi, Tianzhu, Zhulin, Daqin (Byzantine Empire), Luzon, Seljuk Turks, Khmer, Bagan, ...... hundreds of times more profitable than a small Goryeo kingdom? ”

The officials didn't know the country Lu Chengqi said except for Tianzhu and Daqin, and they couldn't help but look at each other. Xu Chongguang cautiously asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where are these Great Eats, Zhuyuan Kingdom, Luzon, and Sai Turks?" ”

Lu Chengqi also knew that they didn't know how big the world was, and they had already drawn an incomplete world map in advance. It's just that his drawing skills are not good, and the whole map seems plausible. Lu Chengqi passed the map to the officials to check, and the officials were really shocked, they didn't expect that the territory of Dashun was so small, and it was not in the center of the world. Although they could not read the general military maps, because those maps did not have the concept of east, west, north and south. But they can see this map of the world very clearly. Because Lu Chengqi marked the direction and drew the borders of each country. Making this map wasted a lot of Lu Chengqi's thoughts. These important ministers of the state were silent, and no one dared to speak.

After a long time, Xu Chongguang said: "Your Majesty, this map is ...... It's true? ”

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "Dashun, Liao, Goryeo, Wa, Tianzhu, etc. are all relatively accurate, drawn from the intelligence collected by the Supervision Department. The rest is all conjecture from my assumptions based on the charts provided by the merchants who went to sea. "The reason why Lu Chengqi said this is that he is afraid that they will treat him as a monster.

After Xu Chongguang was convinced of this, he sighed: "The minister originally thought that my Dashun was the largest country, living in the middle of heaven and earth, but he didn't know that heaven and earth were so vast. Now it seems that what is the difference between it and the country of Yelang in ancient times? ”

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "The world is far from what you and I imagined. I hope that in my lifetime, I will be able to see a complete map of the world. In the opinion of Zhu Qing, can such an ocean trade be comparable to that of Goryeo? ”

None of the officials dared to guarantee it, but the benefits of sea trade were huge, but it was everyone's consensus. Seeing that no one objected, Lu Chengqi decided on this plan, and wanted to use economic sanctions to deal with the immoral Goryeo State. Lu Chengqi firmly believes that a Goryeo country with low production, weak consumption, and poor land has no ability to wrestle with Dashun in terms of economy. The gap between the two, like an elephant and an ant, is not a heavyweight. Once Dashun opened the economic sanctions against Goryeo, it would be the end of Goryeo.

The next day, after receiving a handwritten edict from Lu Chengqi himself, the inspectors sent out from all over the country to arrest the merchants of the Goryeo Kingdom, confiscate their family property, and then send them back to China.

"Dashun Minbao" also published a news that shocked the whole country, the original hardcore ally, Goryeo, actually defected to Dashun's sworn enemy Liao. As soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and the rest of the newspapers all began to crusade against the Goryeo Kingdom, and for a time the Goryeo people were like rats crossing the street in the territory of Dashun Kingdom, and even three-year-old children knew about their bad deeds.

More ruthless tricks are still to come, Dashun has openly torn his face with Goryeo, firmly controlled the Youyun border, and completely blocked the trade with Goryeo. As a result, many merchants panicked, and the goods they purchased could not be shipped to Goryeo for sale, and they were afraid that they would go bankrupt.

Fortunately, the merchants also paid attention to the news, and noticed that the "Dashun Min Bao" called on the merchants who traded with Goryeo to switch to sea trade, and if a new route could be developed, the profits would be 100 times or even 1,000 times that of trade with Goryeo. The Shipping Division also provides a number of vessels to the sea free of charge, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Merchants are seeking profits, and it is impossible to trade with Goryeo, and if they are caught by the inspectors, they will confiscate their homes, and no one will do it if they change to such a high risk. Since you are cornered, you might as well give it a go. As a result, merchants on the border of Youzhou went to Chenzhou or Laizhou, and through the Ship Division, they hired sailors to sail ships to Japan to trade.
