Sima An, Lu Zhenfei, Li Yuan, Liu Boquan, Meng Ke, Liu Meng and many other civil and military ministers were summoned to the Huagai Hall together, because two major news had just come from Wang Bencheng. Happy; Wen; novel

First, the Sangha defeated Aurangzeb again, and Aurangzeb retreated to Delhi. Batur Khan marched into Pongjab and introduced a policy in Pongjab that you would be free to preach and be treated fairly if you swore allegiance to me, regardless of your denomination.

Batur Khan's policy was just the opposite of Aurangzeb's policy of strengthening the position of the Shiites and trying to exclude other sects, and the sects that had been suppressed by Aurangzeb fell to Batur Khan's side.

India is a place where national self-esteem is not strong, whoever is strong can rule, for thousands of years, India has basically accepted foreign rule.

Batur Khan's policies allowed the Dzungar tribe to quickly win the support of many people in the Indus Valley and quickly gain a foothold, if nothing else, it was probably only a matter of time before the Dzungar tribe captured Delhi.

How should Great Qin deal with this matter, he has to quickly come up with a countermeasure.

Second, Abba II of the Safavid Empire relented, and not only sent an envoy to sue for peace, but also prepared to send the princess to make peace.

In this regard, whether Daqin should adjust its policy towards Safavid, and how to adjust it is the most beneficial to Daqin, all of these need to be discussed.

The ministers entered the palace to give a salute, and after Qin Mu gave him a seat, Lu Zhenfei immediately said: "Your Majesty, on the Indian side, I might as well wait and see what happens, and don't interfere for the time being." As for Safavid, since Abbasid II intended to seek peace, the ministers thought that they should not go to war with him again, and that peace should be precious. ”

Yang Tinglin also said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Lu Ge Lao said. Safa has a vast territory and a strong country, and if a war breaks out, it will be absolutely difficult for our DPRK to achieve a decisive victory in a short period of time, and once the war drags on, the treasury will be greatly consumed. Moreover, even if our dynasty can win quickly, it will be difficult to rule that area, and it will be more than worth the loss if we defeat it at present.

Moreover, the Hanzhong region has not yet stabilized. Once Su Jin's army was caught in the war with the Persians, the remnants of the Kazakh, Burut, and Blatter that were now suppressed would inevitably resurge. Su Jin's rear caught fire, taking care of one and losing the other. I'm afraid that I will steal chickens and not be able to reverse the rice, and even wipe out the whole army.

In addition, Li Ding's army also had to march westward, and the Kipchak steppe urgently needed Su Jin's soldiers and horses to garrison north, thinking that Li Ding's backup would start a war with Safavid. Su Jin himself is difficult to protect. How can you go north? ”

Liu Meng, the governor of the Chinese army, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what Yang Shangshu said is reasonable. But the minister thought that if there was to go to war. It's not impossible, I, Great Qin, can not send an army to attack for the time being, as long as I let the navy capture Hormuz. Threatening the Persian Gulf coast, cutting off the Safavid's trade routes, and exploiting its internal contradictions can also disintegrate the country. ”

Yang Tinglin immediately retorted unceremoniously: "Your Majesty has no intention of ruling Persia, since Safavid is willing to reconcile with my Great Qin, he is a friend rather than an enemy, and he has to go to great lengths to disintegrate his country, why did he come?"

Although the country is big, the belligerent will die, and there is no need to fight the war with Savi, but it must be fought, what is this not belligerence? The current generals have already been carried away by the successive victories, and if this continues, my Great Qin is worried! ”

Qin Mu muttered: "The original decision to blockade the Persian Gulf was because the Safavid was watching the middle of the river and the Indus Valley, and now that the Abbasids are willing to repair, there is really no need to fight this battle. ”

Liu Meng was a little unwilling, and continued: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. The Persian Empire also flourished, and later the Arab Empire even defeated the Don army and took control of the Transoxiana region.

Now that Safavid has a vast territory and a large population, if he becomes strong, not only the Transoxiana region will face a huge threat, but the entire Indian Ocean will also be under great threat. Now that there is an opportunity to disintegrate his kingdom, why not disintegrate it, lest he be threatened by him in the future? ”

"To weaken, or even disintegrate, a country does not necessarily have to be a military force." Qin Mu ruled Daqin for several years, he seemed more and more calm, he spoke without hesitation, and his powerful prestige was reflected in his words and deeds, every move, "Throughout the history at home and abroad, behind the political crisis of every country, there are always economic roots, and if there is chaos in the economy, there must be signs in the currency first."

On the other hand, as long as it affects a country's currency, it can lead to problems in its economy, and once there are serious problems in the economy, people's livelihood will wither, social chaos will appear, political crises will appear, and governance will have problems, and even collapse. ”

In the future, looking at the world, the most chaotic places in the whole world are always the poorest countries, and once the economy of any country is depressed and collapses, the country will inevitably be in turmoil.

The same is true in ancient times, why did Ming Wei have so many rebellions? It is nothing more than that there is a problem with the economy, the court has no money, the constant apportionment, the price of goods is high, the people are not happy, and even the flag is in all directions.

And when the rebellion is everywhere, the imperial court has to organize an army to suppress it, which requires more money, where does the money come from, it can only inflict more brutal exploitation on the common people, which in turn forces more people to join the rebellion.

The more rebellions there are, the more urgent they need to be suppressed, and the more they are suppressed, the more they are suppressed, and this creates a vicious circle.

The only way to break this vicious circle is to do a good job in the economy, so that everyone is well fed and warmly clothed, so that no more people will rebel.

It is rare for a country to be very wealthy, where the people are so rich, that it collapses from within.

In short, behind a political crisis, there is always an economic crisis. Currency is the backbone of a country's economy, and as long as there is a problem with the currency, it will often inevitably be affected.

Xu Yingjie, the head of the household, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Persians mainly use silver coins as the currency in circulation, while Persia does not produce abundant silver, mainly through external trade to obtain silver to support the circulation of domestic currency, which is similar to the entire Middle East.

The commodities of the Persians' foreign trade are mainly cotton wool fabrics, copperware, pottery, carpets, etc., among which cotton wool fabrics, carpets, and copperware are the three major fist products of the Persians.

If China establishes diplomatic relations with Persia, in addition to the traditional three major fist products of silk, porcelain, and tea, China will now also add a large number of industrial products such as spices, rubber, cotton cloth, soap, cement, steel, and even electrical appliances from Jinghai Province.

Therefore, our trade with the Persians must be in a state of trade surplus, in other words, a large amount of Persian silver will flow to Daqin.

Persian cotton wool fabrics, copperware, and carpets were very popular with Indians and Westerners, and with these three major products, Persia's trade with India and European countries was basically in a state of surplus. This is why Abbasid I was able to grow rapidly after trading with the West.

Your Majesty, ministers, most of the processes of cotton cloth in our country have been mechanized, and the production cost has been greatly reduced.

Let's talk about another pillar product of the Persians, carpets. I Liaodong, Monan, Mobei, Hetao, Hexi, Longyou, all produce high-quality raw materials, the carpet weaving skills of the party in the Hetao area are also very exquisite, but unfortunately many are lost, the textile technology in these areas is backward at present, and the Persians can not weave so exquisite carpets.

But as long as we introduce some skilled craftsmen from Persia and develop the carpet textile industry in the above-mentioned areas, we can stimulate the economy of the above-mentioned areas. The economy of the above-mentioned upper areas has been backward since ancient times, and it is often a source of turmoil, and the more industries there are, the more income the local people have, which is very beneficial to the long-term peace and stability of the above-mentioned areas.

Second, once this industry develops, it will naturally have a huge impact on the Persians. The Persian fist products are gone, and there is only one bronze left, which can also be dealt with.

Now Mobei has discovered the Yanran Mountain copper mine, Nanhuazhou has also discovered a huge copper mine, my Daqin's casting technology is no worse than the Persians, and then introduce some Persian technology, and further improve the casting skills of my Daqin, it is not impossible to form a major impact on the Persian bronze. ”
