Chapter 899 Mountains of Gold and Silver (Third Change)

After hearing this, Bi Ziyan was a little relieved, but he was still a little hesitant, as if he was considering whether to persuade him or not.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw him, he smiled and said to him: "Actually, the biggest benefit of this arms business is not because it can be exchanged for cattle and sheep to solve the food and clothing of the Hetao area."

"Your majesty is stupid, please give me some advice!" Bi Ziyan was very surprised when he heard this, so he couldn't help but bowed down to ask for advice.

In his view, there is not enough food on the Hetao side, and if it needs to rely on the inland transportation of food, it will consume a lot on the road.And the most important thing is that the neighboring provinces are short of food, so the food needs to be farther away, and the cost of consumption is very high.As far as this item is concerned, it is already very good.If it weren't for the fact that this flintlock is a military weapon, he would definitely support it without hesitation.

After hearing this, Bi Maokang couldn't figure out what the emperor was referring to, so he chimed in curiously: "The old minister also can't figure out what your Majesty is referring to?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little complacent, and explained to them: "They can't make these firearms by themselves, and they have a limit on the number of times they can be used. No matter how little they use them, they will always be useful. , as long as they get used to relying on flintlock guns, they will always buy them at a high price from me, Daming, and it will be a long-term business!"

Before the two courtiers could react, Emperor Chongzhen took a breather and continued: "Secondly, flintlock guns must rely on gunpowder, and gunpowder is even more consumable. Among them, the quality of gunpowder depends on whether it is good or bad. It will affect the life and accuracy of the flintlock gun, so after using good gunpowder, inferior gunpowder will definitely not want to use it. In the past, only my Ming Dynasty had the gunpowder with the best ratio and the most exquisite workmanship. In this way, the more flintlock guns the Oirat Mongolia buys, the more gunpowder they need! And this will depend heavily on me, Ming.”

Listening to the emperor's eloquent talk, both Bi Ziyan and Bi Maokang couldn't help but nodded.

"In this way, even if one day in the future, if the Oirat Mongols and I, Da Ming, turn against each other, they will rely on Da Ming for their firearms, and they will not be able to use firearms against Da Ming. Therefore, there is no need to worry about selling such heavy military weapons as firearms. Daming is under threat!"

"So that's the case, then I can rest assured!" Bi Ziyan was overjoyed when he heard that.He didn't have any worries about selling it, and he was able to exchange it for food continuously. For him, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, he had to welcome him with both hands and feet.Moreover, as he listened, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he wanted to play the Emperor Ming.

But what he didn't expect was that before the emperor finished speaking, he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue: "As that Ozirtu said, the Tsarist Russia far to the west is indeed a vicious country. They are now expanding. As far as I know, they are also expanding to the east. If they do not interfere, they will fight our Ming Dynasty sooner or later. Therefore, we equip the Oirats with weapons and let them go to war with Tsarist Russia. It will be effective Contain Tsarist Russia's intention to expand eastward. After I, Da Ming, solve Liaodong and its surrounding areas, even if Tsarist Russia doesn't come, we, Da Ming, will come to our door!"

Bi Maokang and Bi Ziyan were still nodding at the beginning, but after hearing it, they realized something was wrong, and Bi Ziyan asked in amazement: "Your Majesty, is it possible that my Ming Dynasty will send troops to the far west?"

To him, this seems a little unimaginable!It was the same with Bi Maokang, the smile on his face disappeared at some point, replaced by a trace of worry, and the words "warrior must die" flashed in his mind.

"Of course!" Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to notice their worries, but smiled and said: "I said before, you are not a good man if you don't demolish the Great Wall! The best defense is to attack. Since Tsarist Russian wolves are ambitious and want to invade the territory of other countries, instead of waiting Letting them attack the door, it is better for me, Daming, to fight over, keep the enemy out of the country, and let the people of my Ming Dynasty not suffer from the war!"

If that Tsarist Russia is really what the emperor said, it makes sense.But this so-called Tsarist Russia, I have never even heard of it, how did the emperor know the specific situation of this Tsarist Russia?Could it be... Could it be that the emperor also has Jin Yiwei lurking in the Far West?

The two courtiers were thinking in their hearts, while continuing to listen to Emperor Chongzhen's explanation: "In addition, there are mountains of gold and silver hidden underground in the far western land. Rather than being discovered and used by others, it is better for me, Ming Dynasty, to occupy it. For good!"

"What, mountains of gold and silver?" Bi Ziyan was startled when he heard it, and confirmed it almost subconsciously.

Bi Maokang was similar, and said with a look of surprise: "Is it a gold mine or a silver mine?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of those oil and gas fields, and couldn't help saying enviously: "It's mountains of gold and silver, no, no, it's far more than mountains of gold and silver. The wealth there is beyond your imagination. The sum is even more. That place, I am bound to win!"

In addition to there, there is another place, and that is the Middle East.But that place is too far away, and there is no contact yet, so let's not mention it for now. We will talk about it after occupying Myanmar and opening up the passage from Yunnan to the Indian Ocean.

After the Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he suddenly found that the two courtiers were dumbfounded there, and he couldn't help being a little speechless. Judging from their appearance, they must have been frightened by the pie he described!Forget it, such opportunities are not many, let them think about how big the pie is!
After a while, Bi Ziyan came back to his senses and saw the emperor smiling at him, he couldn't help but stammered and said: "Your Majesty, what you just said...is it true?"

Hearing his words, Bi Maokang came back to his senses, and immediately stared into the emperor's eyes, trying to see something from them to support the emperor's words.

"Of course!" Emperor Chongzhen said without hesitation, "Don't forget, I can know things thousands of miles away."

What he was referring to was the chat group system, which in the eyes of those who didn't know the chat group had a mysterious aura.Logically speaking, this is possible only with the legendary means of immortality.And the emperor has it. It is not surprising that the emperor knows about the matter of the Far West!

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's better to send the frontier army now." Bi Maokang didn't find any sign of lying, so he immediately suggested excitedly, "Let the naturalized governor send troops to the west, mostly Mongolian soldiers, which is just right. !"

Speaking of this, he hastily added: "If you go late and are discovered by that Tsarist Russia, you will regret it too late!"

Hehe, what era is it now, even if it is discovered, it will not be of much use.Emperor Chongzhen thought so, not in a hurry, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, they won't find out."
