Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Li Shanchang agreed, and hurriedly started preparations. After all, he had already retained his position as the actual head of the cabinet, so he had to make an attitude.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at all the officials present, and then said.

"Everyone, if there is nothing else to do, let's go back to the harem to rest. I've been really tired these days, thank you all for your hard work."

Liu Bowen, who had never said much, suddenly stood up and said.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, I think that in the face of Beiyuan's opening up of the ironware trade, there must be one thing that must be thoroughly implemented, that is, Da Ming and them barter, as long as cattle and sheep are not gold and silver."

Liu Bowen usually doesn't talk much, but he can always get to the point at critical moments, which is what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to explain.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

"If you hit a snake, you have to hit seven inches. Liu Aiqing's words are on point. As for the details, your cabinet and the Sixth Ministry should have a good discussion."

At this time, Song Lian, who had always been considered an old scholar, also said.

"Liu Zhongcheng's words really captured the point. Now that the grasslands are not engaged in production, cattle and sheep are the main source of food. Once the cattle and sheep belong to us, they will have nothing to eat at all, and they will be in chaos. By then, the gold and silver will be sooner or later. It is Daming's gold and silver."

Everyone thinks that Song Lian is an old master who is ignorant of world affairs. It is only because of Confucianism that he has his current status. Now it seems that he can judge the situation and make an accurate analysis.

After Song Lian finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang completely changed his opinion of him, and asked again.

"Song Aiqing, let me tell you any other good strategies. We, the monarchs and ministers, will work together to complete this matter."

In fact, before Zhu Yuanzhang asked the question, Song Lian had already had an idea, and he said it right away.

"I believe that it's not just that Beiyuan wants to exchange cattle and sheep for our ironware, but more importantly, the price can't be set too low. We need to set up a special trade department at the border to manage it. Whoever dares to lower the price without authorization will cut it No pardon."

When he said this, there was a cold light in Song Lian's eyes, he didn't look like a sour scholar at all.

Only then did everyone know that this well-learned Confucian is also a talent for economics and governance, and he is not only good at writing articles.

When things came to this point, there was already a clue, and Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.

"Then let's do it quickly. Let's go back and rest. All the ministers will reward each of you with 100 taels of silver for your hard work."

With Zhu Yuanzhang's spiritual and material encouragement, the cabinet and the important ministers of the six ministries and nine ministers naturally became more motivated to handle this matter.

It should be said that Li Shanchang and others were indeed very efficient. In less than five days, the entire Ming Dynasty was basically in motion.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Song Lian to write a letter of credence to Bei Yuan, and sent envoys to Yuerhai.

This place is the last habitat in Beiyuan in the vast desert.

Emperor Yuanmo took the letter of credence from Ming Dynasty, looked at all the ministers present, and said.

"Look, everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a monk, actually wants to do business with us. This is not a big joke. We are all descendants of the Golden Family. How can we trade with the Nanmanzi!"

Although he has been driven to the desert grassland, he is still a descendant of Genghis Khan after all, so he still has a bit of pride.

Besides, the emperor at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was really angry. As the son of Emperor Yuanshun, after inheriting the Khan throne, he had never enjoyed a single day of blessings. He ate wind and drank sand every day, so he naturally resented Zhu Yuanzhang very much.

The following group of Beiyuan ministers were not stupid at all, they looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something but dared not say it.

Seeing them like this, Emperor Yuan Mo knew that they had something to say, so he asked them by name.

"Lu Guan Tie Mu'er, you are a Taiwei, please tell me what you think first, and then I will determine the next countermeasures."

This Lu Guan Tie Mu'er has been a Taiwei for more than ten years, and he can be regarded as a veteran minister left by Emperor Yuan Shun, so he naturally has some prestige.

When Emperor Yuanmo asked him about himself, he immediately replied.

"I think this matter is very strange. After all, the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty have always strictly controlled tea, horses, salt and iron, and they can't flow into the grassland. Why are they actively opening up the iron ore trade to us now? When things go wrong, there must be demons."

After hearing this, Emperor Yuan Mo naturally found supporters and said.

"The Taiwei deserves to be an old man who wants to seek the country. I think so too. There must be something strange about this matter, so we can't just agree."

At this time, another important minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the prime minister just cracked the fungus, stood up and refuted loudly.

"Taiwei's words, we think it's a bit absurd. Maybe Daming just lacks cattle and sheep, so he has no choice but to trade with us, so this is just an opportunity. We can exchange for ironware and strengthen ourselves."

After hearing what the prime minister said, Tai Wei Lu Guan Tie Mu'er still felt that something was wrong, and said again.

"Compared to this, we are more lacking in the ironware possessed by Da Ming, and the other party has already occupied the entire world, with a vast land and rich resources, and there is no shortage of our cattle and sheep. This matter must have a conspiracy and cannot be easily agreed."

Just when the stalemate was at stake, another important minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty suddenly came outside the tent. This person does not usually go to court, but after hearing about this, he still wanted to join in the fun.

This person is unknown, his name is Wai Wai Bu Hua, and no one may know about him, but he has a very capable father, Tuotuo, who was also the last minister of the Yuan Dynasty to protect the sky.

This Tuotuo can be regarded as one of Zhu Yuanzhang's strongest opponents. He once made Lao Zhu helpless. If Zhu Tao was present now, he would spread a word by the way.

"Tuotuo also has a Chinese name called Wang Baobao, which is the eldest brother of Princess Zhao Min in Yitian Tulongji."

Due to the great meritorious service of her father Tuotuo, after Tuotuo's death, Waiwaibuhua was raised by Emperor Yuan Shun in the palace, and granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Xu Guogong.

Now that he has come to the golden tent, the Emperor Yuanmo naturally wants to listen to his opinion.

"Xu Guogong is also here. You must have heard the argument just now. If you have any opinions, please say it."

Wai Wai thought for a while before giving an answer directly.

"Now we don't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang has other schemes to open up trade with us, but since he has this idea, it is an opportunity for us, why don't we send someone to investigate first."

When Emperor Yuan Mo heard this, he also felt that the matter was a little plausible, so he glanced at Lu Guan Timur and said with a smile.

"Since this is the case, then I would like to ask the Taiwei to take a hard trip and go over to have a look. After finding out the actual situation, come back and report to me in time, so that we can make the next step."
