My wife is number one in the world

"Tea, silk, fine wine, the surrounding countries can only buy from me, Dalong. Your Majesty can mobilize private caravans, or government businessmen go deep into the hinterland of these surrounding countries for caravan transactions. If there is no tea and refined salt, let's sell them , without silk, we can do them, except for strategic materials, such as swords and weapons, bows, arrows, beds and crossbows, which cannot be sold, we will buy whatever they want, as long as they dare to buy, we will dare to sell."

"Dalong doesn't buy these things for high profits. His Majesty the private caravans don't need to ask, but they have to collect a certain amount of tax, but the government and businessmen can't. Even if they are equivalent transactions, or they lose some money, they can be sold to them. "

"If this is the case, won't the treasury be able to make ends meet? What kind of solution is this? It's just nonsense." Li Zheng looked at First Young Master Liu with an unhappy expression.

"Your Majesty, after listening to my ministers, my Dalong is rich in products. As long as you work hard, there are basically some things that are not lacking. What do the Turkic tribes have? Horses, cattle and sheep. They only have a lot of horses, cattle and sheep. They want to exchange them for us. Silk and tea leaves, that’s fine, if you don’t have money to pay, then use cattle and sheep to pay off the debt, some places in Turkic can also grow a little grain, but due to geographical restrictions, the output is very low.”

"Then we will give them a preferential grain that is higher than their output in exchange for their cattle and horses. Under relative circumstances, the Turkic people will definitely not go to farm anymore, but will only graze cattle and sheep in exchange for more grain. , Turkic people will also compare, this is the nature of people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, as long as they are better than them, they will definitely choose better."

Li Zheng nodded lightly: "Yes, in all fairness, if I were a Turk, I would definitely choose to graze in exchange for food."

"Your Majesty is like this. You can get more benefits. Everyone will seek more benefits for themselves. This is human nature. When the time comes, it will be easier to exchange horses, cattle and sheep. If the cattle are strong, you can keep them." When they come down to work on the land, those thin and old cows are killed and made into dry and easy-to-store beef jerky and the like, and the cowhide is made into furs. The Turkic winter is very cold, and they will need more, such as beef tendon. The Turkic people would like to make bed crossbows and other decorations from ox bones.”

"Sheep can be the same as cattle. The reason why the Turkic people are so strong is because they eat meat for a long time. The meat they make can not only be sold to the grasslands by caravans, but also sold to the people in Dalong. Your Majesty should know Dalong. How difficult it is for the people of Long to eat a meal of meat, so it will kill multiple birds with one stone, so why not do it."

"That's a good idea, let's go on. Did the prince remember everything?"

"Father, write it all down." The prince Li Baiyu did not stop writing for a moment.

"As for the horses, it is even better. They are all sent to the army. Turkic horses are much stronger than the horses in Dalong. Your Majesty should know that they are all very strong BMWs. Even old horses and the like can form cavalry. The infantry should be much stronger, and it only takes a few trades, and the old horses may be replaced with strong horses. At that time, Dalong's cavalry will be strengthened little by little, and Dalong's army will be invincible and invincible."

"At that time, food, silk, and refined salt will be sold to the Turks under the caravan. Beef and mutton can also be sold to them again, but after processing, it will definitely be more expensive. Wool can be made into winter clothes for guards. Soldiers in the frontier wear them, and they can almost sell them to people in the grassland. Let them live the same life as the dragon in the barren land. Because of the caravan, there will be no farmers in the grassland. Only Grazing."

"But this is something that is in the national treasury at a loss. No matter how you think about it, it looks like you are taking advantage of the Turks." Prince Li Baiyu had to stop and interject.

"Loss? No, Your Highness said that the wool comes from the sheep. Your Highness, don't forget the taxes from the private caravans and the family caravans. These are enough to make up for the losses caused by the government and businessmen, and they will make a lot of money if they get the treasury." Uncertain, and the government and businessmen do not necessarily lose the national treasury, we have obtained important mobile equipment such as horses, and we must know how much silver taels His Majesty spends on buying horses every year."

Li Zheng seems to have come to his senses: "But isn't collecting a large amount of taxes to compete for the interests of the people? In this way, officials like Xia Yushi will impeach me for being a fool."

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. This time, the imperial court encouraged the caravan to export a large amount of supplies, instead of secretly selling a little bit of things. If they are not careful, they will be called enemies. This time it is They can earn as much money as they can, and earn as much family business as they can. Moreover, the rise of private caravans will indirectly affect the interests of those people?"

"The aristocratic family, many caravans are controlled by them."

"Exactly, with the rise of private caravans, the common people will be grateful for His Majesty's sagely deeds, and at the same time, it will blow the arrogance of the aristocratic family, killing two birds with one stone, why not?"

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Shouldn't the Liu family watch the fire from the other side?"

Young Master Liu smiled resentfully: "Your Majesty, whoever sells is not a seller, and I have to take care of the family's life, right? I have no choice but to sell it. I don't want to sell it, but if I don't sell it, who will give me money?" where?"

Chapter 334 Dalong's First Snow

Chapter 334 Dalong's First Snow

Contemptuously cast a contemptuous glance at Young Master Liu, who is cheap and good-looking: "Let's continue. → Baba Reading ≥"

"Your Majesty, compared to the life of the Turks before, the arrival of our caravan has raised them a few levels. The life of the grassland people is rough and uninhibited, while the life of the Dalong is delicate and delicate. After the baptism of the caravan, they Once you get used to wearing silk, you are no longer used to rough animal skins, you are used to eating carefully prepared food, and you are no longer used to the daily barbecue. When you are no longer used to tea and wine, and the fishy smell of milk and goat milk is no longer difficult to drink. Pharynx, what will happen then?"

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal?"

"Your Majesty, when the Turks are used to these things, but those who know how to cultivate the land have been deceived by the small profits of the caravans, and the land is re-spread by weeds, then the silk tea and fine wine they need What to do with things, only from Dalong’s caravan can you get them.”

Li Zheng's eyes were fixed: "You mean?"

"It seems that Your Majesty has already understood a little bit. When our Dalong merchants gain a foothold, all the goods of Turkic can only be purchased from Dalong's caravan, and the lifeblood of Turkic survival can only be grasped in Dalong's hands. "

"If you want to stir up trouble on the border of Dalong, Your Majesty sits in the capital, and an imperial decree goes down. The merchants will close their accounts, and the business travel will be blocked. The border of Yingzhou will be guarded by soldiers. How should the people live? What about the people in the grassland? There is no exquisiteness. Without the delicious tea and fine wine, all the good life brought to them by Dalong in the past will be gone.

"But the elimination of these things is not due to the cruelty of the dragon. It is only because their leader started the war. Then the person who started the war will lose the hearts of the people, because he is the one who ended their rich and beautiful life."

Li Zheng stood up suddenly: "A nation that depends on Dalong for life and food, I can cut off all their possessions with an imperial decree. How could such a Turk threaten Dalong? With the horses harvested, the people with meat, the merchants with money, the treasury with taxes, and food with money, I can steadily develop my army, and I can accomplish multiple things in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty, goodness, that's exactly what I said."

"But what if they jump over the wall in a hurry?"

"Your Majesty, the war horses, meat, and money obtained from the Turks are not dead things. While consuming the Turks, the Dalong's military strategy is also developing. The dog jumped the wall. Well, the Turks are weak, and the Dalong is strong. Then What to do when we are weak and I am strong, beat him, just say a word, don’t be cowardly, just do it, beat him once to break his head, give them a long memory, even if Jin Guo wants to help the scene, Gotta knock out his teeth."

The prince's eyes also gradually brightened, and he obviously understood the key

"Liu Aiqing, I finally know what a clever plan is to secure the world. The business war you mentioned is a clever plan to secure the world. Compared with the Tweet Order, it is even worse. I never thought that a lowly businessman would have such a usefulness."

It seemed that Young Master Liu in front of him was the son of a merchant who was rooted in Zheng Miaohong, and Li Zhengcai realized that it was not appropriate for a merchant to be humble at the moment.

Young Master Liu looked embarrassed, and could only pretend that he hadn't heard this sentence: "I deserve it."

"Liu Aiqing, today you gave me a special battle. It turns out that war can be played like this. Besides military war, it is another kind of war behavior. It is an eye-opener for me."

"I am ashamed to accept it, and I am ashamed to accept it."

"Prince, have Liu Aiqing's words been clearly recorded?"

"Go back to the emperor, and all the sons and ministers will be recorded in the book."

Li Zheng got up and stretched his waist: "I didn't expect it to be so late. It's been a long time since I have been so obsessed with the monarch and ministers. If Liu Aiqing was born 20 years earlier, I have you to help me, so why worry about the world. pretty."

"Your Majesty is joking, even if I am born 20 years later, I am still willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, no matter what."

"Really? Liu Aiqing is indeed a loyal person. I won't let you go down the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire. How about giving [-]% of the coal business to the prince?"

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at First Young Master Liu with a half-smile.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, let's talk about the Turkic issue. I feel that I still have a lot to say."

"Forget it, [-]% profit is like killing your life. Is it still snowing?" Li Zheng originally wanted to tease Young Master Liu, but there were snowflakes in the sky.

It was snowing, and the sky suddenly dimmed. Many eunuchs started to get busy and lit the palace lanterns. The red lanterns illuminated the falling snowflakes in the sky, which was as beautiful as a fairy tale world.

"It's so beautiful. The snow in Dalong is more beautiful than the snow anywhere. The first snow in Xuande in 26 years was later than in previous years. The carriage parked at the gate of the palace should have taken away the last piece of yellow falling this year. Ye, it's time for the New Year." Li Zheng looked at the snow in the sky with a confused expression.

The corner of Liu Mingzhi's mouth twitched slightly, why did he seem to have heard the emperor's words there? 11

Chapter 335 Auspicious

Liu Mingzhi didn't know whether the snowy weather was suitable for setting off fireworks, but he wanted to give it a try.

Anyway, the air pollution is caused by the common people’s cooking. What does it have to do with setting off fireworks? In the Dalong Dynasty, you can set it up however you want, lying down or standing up.

"Your Majesty, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and I have a little thing that I want to ask Your Majesty to hold your eyes."

Young Master Liu had asked the old man and Liu Song that they only knew about firecrackers but not about fireworks, which meant that even the emperor, the lord of a country, had never seen what fireworks looked like.

Li Zheng, who was still staring at the snow-covered sky in a daze, came back to his senses after hearing the words: "Oh? Could it be that Liu Aiqing got another rare treasure?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, please look over there?" Young Master Liu staggered and pointed to several sealed wooden boxes beside the carriage.

To be on the safe side, Major Liu added a layer of wooden protection to the nearly [-]% of the fireworks. If the fireworks could not withstand the huge recoil, it would be a big trouble.

Most of the houses at present are made of wood. If a firework bomb falls on the house, it will be exciting. It is not a joke that a street will be burnt.
