Hearing this, Qian Yi couldn't help but look at Zhang Fu, wanting to know from Zhang Fu whether the Western Qin countries had launched a war against the Great Eclipse, in his opinion, the Great Eclipse was a strong country, and it was unbelievable that those Western Qin people dared to use force against it.

Seeing this, Zhang Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head, in ancient times, water and land transportation was inconvenient, information was blocked, and the incident happened more than two hundred years ago, and China has experienced the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, even if there is a record of this incident in official documents, it is likely to be destroyed in the war.

Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and the others looked at each other, wondering if the other party had heard about the Great Food being invaded by the Western Qin Kingdoms, but how could they know about the Crusades that took place during the Northern Song Dynasty?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have asked people to consult the historical materials, and the historical materials do record this matter, and the eight wars between the Great Food and the Western Qin Kingdoms were separated by more than two hundred years."

Emperor Xuande saw that Qianyi, Zhang Fu and the others were at a loss, so he spoke quietly, affirming what Li Yuntian said.

Two years ago, when Li Yuntian told Emperor Xuande about the Crusades, he aroused Emperor Xuande's interest, so he asked people to consult historical materials.

In this way, this also proves the importance of the Strait of Malacca, and it has become an important maritime route for the Ming Dynasty to understand the situation of the Xiyi countries.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Uncle Zhenwu is reasonable, and Jiaozhi is related to the safety of future generations, and it must not be abandoned!" Zhang Fu was the first to react when he heard this, and he arched his hand at Emperor Xuande and said loudly.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Seeing this, Zhou Zheng and Zhang Hao also bowed to Emperor Xuande and agreed with Zhang Fu's opinion.

"Your Majesty, although Jiaozhi is important, I really shouldn't use the knife now."

Yang Shiqi had realized from Emperor Xuande's words and deeds that Emperor Xuande had changed his mind to give up Jiaozhi before, so he pondered for a while and proposed a compromise plan, "It is better to negotiate peace with the rebels first, and then quell the rebellion after the treasury is full." ”

"The rebels are now powerful, and they will definitely not negotiate peace lightly." Qian Yi shook his head when he heard this, and looked at Yang Shiqi with a slight frown, "Since the rebel has taken out that Chen Wei as a disguise, he must be able to win Jiaozhi, so Cheng Shanbo and others will be in danger!" ”

Hearing this, the ministers at the scene couldn't help but fall into silence, it seems that if you want to keep Jiaozhi, then you must send troops to pacify the rebels in Jiaozhi again, but the financial resources of the treasury cannot support the military expenses of this counterinsurgency, and the only way to collect taxes from the people is to collect taxes from the people.

"I have made up my mind, put down the Jiaozhi rebellion!" Emperor Xuande glanced at the people with strict expressions, paid attention after a deep sigh, and said loudly, "I don't believe it, can a little Jiaozhi still toss for three years and five years?" ”

"Your Majesty, how many soldiers and horses are you going to send to counterinsurgency this time?" Yang Shiqi saw that Emperor Xuande had made up his mind, and Zhang Fu and the others tried their best to fight, so he sighed helplessly in his heart and asked with spirit.

To tell the truth, Yang Shiqi didn't want this battle to continue to be fought again, so as not to increase the burden on the people, but through Li Yuntian's words just now, he felt that he was reluctant to give up, so he was very conflicted.

Qianyi, Zhang Fu and others then looked at Emperor Xuande, if Emperor Xuande decided to counterbalance the rebellion again, then the cabinet, the six ministries and the military cabinet should immediately prepare relevant matters according to the scale of the counterinsurgency force.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, please ask the emperor for permission." Without waiting for Emperor Xuande to speak, Li Yuntian took a step forward and said solemnly.

Emperor Xuande was slightly stunned when he heard this, and seemed quite surprised, in his opinion, there are only two people who can lead the troops again among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, one is Zhang Fu, and the other is Zhou Zheng, and the rest of the people are difficult to take on this important task.

Zhang Fu and the others also showed surprised expressions on their faces, no one thought that Li Yuntian would take the initiative to ask for battle.

The Jiaozhi Rebellion was different from the Han Rebellion, which required an expedition of labor troops to penetrate deep into the uncivilized barbarian land, and needed an old man who was old and familiar with the situation of Jiaozhi to lead the army, rather than Li Yuntian, who was young and had never been to Jiaozhi.

"Uncle Zhenwu, this counterinsurgency is not trivial, you have to think about it." Emperor Xuande saw that Li Yuntian's expression was resolute, as if he was talking, and after a deep groan, he reminded him loudly.

To tell the truth, Emperor Xuande did not want Li Yuntian to take risks, compared with the failure of the counterinsurgency, he was more afraid that Li Yuntian would have an accident, and there would be one less courtier by his side.

"Your Majesty, the war in Jiaozhi has lasted for more than two years, and the cost is huge, and the minister knows that the emperor cares about the people and does not want to increase the burden on the people, so he thinks twice, so he asks the emperor for war."

Li Yuntian bowed slightly to Emperor Xuande and replied with a stern expression, "Your Majesty, the minister has already thought about it, and I don't want a penny from the household department to quell the rebellion this time, but I hope that the emperor can be kind to the minister's request." ”

Hearing that Li Yuntian didn't want the money from the household, including Emperor Xuande, the people at the scene couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Li Yuntian in surprise, and even Jin Ying couldn't help but show a surprised look on his face, looking unbelievable.

"Uncle Zhen Wu, what do you want?" Emperor Xuande didn't think that Li Yuntian would joke at such a stern moment, so he pondered for a while, and asked curiously, he wanted to know what method Li Yuntian used to raise the military expenses for the Qi rebellion.

"Your Majesty, although Jiaozhi is a barbarian land, it has a population of millions and rich mineral resources, which contains huge business opportunities, and there are many businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, so there must be people who are interested in doing business in Jiaozhi."

Li Yuntian had already been prepared, and explained in an orderly manner when he heard this, "The minister is going to sell the trading rights and mineral mining rights of Jiaozhi to the merchants in Jiangnan, and only the merchants who have obtained the trading rights and mineral mining rights can go to Jiaozhi to do business, so as to raise the necessary military funds." ”

"In this way, they can prosper the trade and collect taxes from it, which is the best of both worlds." Li Yuntian bowed to Emperor Xuande and said in a deep voice, "The minister implores the emperor to grant this request to the minister." ”

In order to raise military expenses, Li Yuntian decided to implement a commercial monopoly in Jiaozhi after laying down Jiaozhi, so as to ensure the interests of those merchants who bought the monopoly rights, and at the same time promote the commercial development of Jiaozhi and promote exchanges between Jiaozhi and the hinterland.

"Uncle Zhenwu, now that our army has been defeated in Jiaozhi, will those merchants in Jiangnan buy trade rights and mining rights?" Xia Yuanji felt that this was a good way to solve military expenses, but then his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

In Xia Yuanji's view, those businessmen in Jiangnan are all shrewd people, how can they invest a lot of money in the turbulent situation of Jiaozhi, in case the Ming army gives up Jiaozhi, their money will be wasted.

"Merchants, businessmen are born to seek profits, as long as they see hope, then they will definitely invest money." Hearing this, Li Yuntian turned to Xia Yuanji and said calmly.

"In this way, will they take advantage of the opportunity to make profits and increase the burden on the people of Jiaozhi?" Qian Yi thought about something else, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, but he knew that businessmen were mercenary.

"Young Master, the lower officials have already thought about handing over the franchise of the same business to several businessmen to compete with each other, and a special yamen will be set up to manage these merchants and standardize business rules!"

Li Yuntian had already considered this problem, the reason why he did this was to promote trade between Jiaozhi and the inland, naturally he didn't want those merchants to take advantage of the opportunity to make huge profits, Xiang Qianyi bowed slightly and replied loudly, "If they want to unite to hoard and take advantage of it, then the lower officials will mobilize materials from the inland to fight a business war with them, so that they will retreat!" ”

"Business wars?" Hearing this, Qianyi's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, and the people around him were also very surprised, and they all looked at Li Yuntian in amazement.

According to the traditional ranking of "Shinong Shang Shang and Gong" in ancient society, although the merchants were wealthy, their social status was extremely low, and they were regarded as parasites of society, so they were in an extremely weak position compared to the government, and as long as the head of the local government found a reason to punish them, they could be punished.

In the eyes of Qian Yi and others, Li Yuntiangui is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, so there is no need to be so polite to those businessmen, just arrest those businessmen who are cheating and greedy and throw them into prison, there is no need to fight any business wars.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to treat those businessmen than to block!"

Li Yuntian knew what everyone was thinking, so he turned to Emperor Xuande and said in a deep voice, "The general business is enough for department stores, and the department stores are full of people's livelihood, although those merchants do not work, but they can make the goods flow between regions, and then drive the prosperity of local commerce, which can not only make the people profit from it, but also promote the exchanges between people in different regions, which is not useless." ”

"It seems that as long as Yichen can be well disciplined and guided, he can make merchants work for my Ming Dynasty, promote inter-regional exchanges, and prosper domestic commerce."

As he spoke, Li Yuntian looked up at Emperor Xuande and said solemnly, "The imperial court can also collect a large amount of taxes from it to enrich the treasury, which can be the third largest tax in addition to Ding Yin and Tian. ”

"That makes sense!" Emperor Xuande couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, and was moved by Li Yuntian's statement, if he could collect huge taxes from merchants, it would be an important way to fill the treasury.

Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others also nodded secretly, I have to say that Li Yuntian's idea is indeed feasible, if the businessman can really serve the imperial court, then it will undoubtedly bring great benefits to the imperial court.

As for whether this law was implemented smoothly in the Ming Dynasty, then it depends on how effective it is, whether it can control those merchants, and whether it can bring benefits to the people and the court.

"Uncle Zhen Wu, how many troops do you need to quell the rebellion this time?" Then, Zhang Fu pondered for a while and asked Li Yuntian.

In fact, Zhang Fu very much wanted to go to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion, after all, when the Han King rebelled, he was set aside by Emperor Xuande, and now he finally has the opportunity to command the army, so he naturally wants to show his strength and make contributions.

Moreover, in terms of qualifications and experience, he is the commander of this counterinsurgency, but Li Yuntian actually proposed that he could not use the treasury of the treasury as military funds, which he could not do.

Besides, Li Yuntian performed brilliantly in quelling the rebellion of King Han, and became famous in the first battle, which has proved his military talent, and is regarded as a rising star in the military circles, and he does have the qualifications to lead the troops to quell the rebellion of Jiaozhi.

In addition, Emperor Xuande obviously trusted Li Yuntian more, so Zhang Fu had no choice but to give up the idea of leading the troops, and he was now a little curious about how Li Yuntian wanted to fight this battle.!^!
