Ning Shu almost knew what was going on with the frontier army. The Emperor Tian Gao was far away, and many gangsters insulted the people more than the Rong nationality.
Bullying one's own people, internal fighting is what people are best at. Some soldiers fight the Rong tribe, and they are defeated like a mountain.
The treasury is empty, and we have to pool money to feed these people.
"I don’t want money. Since the Rong people can break through the city wall and plunder every time, it is better to exchange something instead of letting them plunder. ."
There are too many dead people in the war, so if you want to engage in economic warfare.
If you want something, take an iron ore, or a coal mine.
It is difficult to train a person how good it is, but how easy it is to raise a person, give what you want.
When the things that needed life in exchange before can now be exchanged for the things they own, they can get tea, silk, exquisite ceramics, and things to enjoy in a rich country.
Form economic dependence, or if you are not obedient, direct economic sanctions.
"Does the empress dowager mean to open trade with the Rong people?" Xueshi Gu understood Ning Shu's meaning at a glance, and shook his head and said, "Mangniang, this can't be done. If you open the door for merchants to convenience, the merchants value the benefits of the country. , This is absolutely impossible."
Scholars, farmers, commerce, and merchants rank at the bottom, and their status is not very high.
Ning Shu said indifferently: "Of course, if it is a member of the court, the birthday gift the emperor wants is very simple, and that is to build a trading post on the border. Of course, you will collect the money. Since the border army has nothing to do, you can start a trade war. Just try it."
"Next, the people on the border can't stand the torture. Soldiers are also human. If you can reduce the loss, reduce the loss." Ning Shu said very bachelorly: "Anyway, there is no money in the treasury. , I can't save the military salary either."
Ning Shu smiled and said: "If a trading post can be built, the emperor will grow up by then, knowing that it is your heart, and he will definitely be touched. No matter whether it is successful or not, there is nothing worse than the current situation."
courtier:…
Just want them to pay
Birthday gift
A trading post requires a lot of money, and it seems that the queen mother means a big job, but whoever goes to the border to supervise the work, those border troops are not vegetarian, maybe they won't be able to come back.
"The empress dowager, I am afraid that a trading post has been established, but it may be chaotic. The prices of things are chaotic. The Rong people are uncivilized and arrogant people. When the time comes, the people's lives will not be guaranteed."
Li Wangye directly mentioned the hidden dangers, Ning Shu said: "So I have to ask you to come up with a specific charter, price and trade war law. As for security issues, isn't there a border army?"
"Niang Niang, this may not work." Li Wangye was helpless. Although the trading post sounds good, it is difficult to implement.
Ning Shu smiled and said, "The emperor is looking forward to the birthday gift. It's too fast to build it. Now the Rong people are ready to move, and it must be built before winter."
Asking them to contribute money and efforts made the courtiers feel very upset. Ning Shu said: "Well, let's take out the salary of the Ai family over the years, as well as some rare jewelry, and the sisters in the harem will also add bricks and tiles to the trading post. "
Xueshi Gu bowed and said, "The ministers wait for the decree, but the ministers don't have much wealth."
"Come according to your own ability and become a member." Ning Shu said. Some princes and ministers have a very comfortable life, and those who have a wealth of wealth, know that they will ask for money.
"I hope I can get a charter soon. As far as Aier’s family knows, these places still have resources, especially the rivers under the Tianshan Mountains. They contain jade of excellent quality. The shrouded mountains, I hope that one day, these places will be included in the territory of the Great Zhou." Ning Shu stood up and said in a loud voice, "Even the Rong people have to bow their heads to the Great Zhou."
Ning Shu spoke impassionedly, and the courtiers below knelt down, feeling sad, taking out the money, reluctant to bear it, and cut his heart with a knife.
After retreating, Ning Shu quickly handed the child to Xi'er who was next to him, and shook his arm. The child became heavier and heavier.
It's a bit tiring to hold it up from now on.
Ning Shu sorted out his treasury, took out the silver notes, and some gold ornaments. The gold can be melted, but some jade is not.
Ning Shu summoned the concubines in the harem and asked everyone to donate some money. There were really no rats in the treasury.
These concubines heard that they were birthday gifts for the little emperor, but they also saved face. Some people took out some.
Fu Min gave more, a silver ticket of 10,000 taels and some jewelry.
"These were all given to the concubines by the first emperor. Since the treasury is tight, the concubines are all taken out," Fu Min said.
Ning Shu nodded, "The Aijia thank you for the people on the border."
Fu Min smiled a little shyly, and then went back to his palace again, boring in the palace all day and couldn't come out.
It is estimated that he has not been relieved from the emotional loss of his lover.
This matter was proceeding in an orderly manner. The ministers pooled the money together, and the family members donated more money. With the donations from the harem, it was almost possible to build a trading post.
The problem is who is going to supervise the work now, and the environment on the border is relatively harsh. If there is a conflict with the army, it is possible that they will not return.
So who went
When Ning Shu asked who was going, there was no sound below. Well, Ning Shu wanted to go very much, but it was impossible.
At this time, there is no origin of the world, and there must be no origin of the world in this palace.
I was most afraid of the sudden silence of the air. The courtiers lowered their heads and endured the pain of donating money. Now they have to do such a dangerous thing. The journey is so long that they will not be able to return for a year or a half.
Finally, Xueshi Gu stood up and said, "The minister is willing to go to the border."
Gu Xueshi is the weakest among the three ministers. There is no official family to rely on. If you want to convince the public, you have to do some achievements, and now you can't get money from the treasury.
It is not good to use this method to solve it. Although Xueshi Gu thinks that the queen mother wants to get rid of the pot, the court basically didn't spend much money and has to do such a big project.
"Don't make it too complicated, you can shelter from the wind and rain, and can accommodate a lot of stalls. In fact, it is almost the same as a vegetable market." Ning Shu said directly, "The Aijia will send a team to protect you and ration it to avoid death. If you encounter a special situation, you should cut the gold medal first and then play it later. Call in more civilian carpenters and the army will also use it."
Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, carrying a gun can kill the enemy, and being able to plant rice seedlings in the fields is the national cattle fork soldier.
"The minister knows, the minister must achieve his mission." Gu Xueshi said.
