Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "This is made of cashmere thread. How does Duke Cheng think it feels?"
Zhu Chunchen said: "If there is this thing, those barbarians in the south and north of the desert will have an extra income. As long as I, Daming, can sell them salt and grain, they can raise sheep with peace of mind. It's just that I still have some Worrying, always feeling a little uneasy."
This kind of clothes made of cashmere is really good. It doesn't feel like wool sticks to your hands at all, and it doesn't rub people uncomfortable like linen, but it feels soft and warm.
It is foreseeable that once the palace starts to wear this thing, the whole capital will become popular, and then the whole Ming Dynasty will become popular.
But hidden dangers are also obvious.
Cashmere comes from sheep, and sheep can only be raised on grasslands, Daming can also raise them himself-will the people who are farming change their careers to raise sheep?
Food is not worth much these days, no matter how cheap cashmere is, it can't be cheaper than food, right?
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Duke Cheng is worried that the common people will start to raise a large number of sheep? And he is also worried that those barbarians will not have enough hearts and will cause trouble again in the future?"
Zhu Chunchen nodded and said: "The matter of the people raising sheep, I also thought about it just now, but it is actually nothing to worry about.
Only those savages, if they get the method of weaving cashmere clothes, they can go further north, lest there will be more troubles. "

Chapter 7 is not the plague of the plague?
Regarding Zhu Chunchen's worries, Emperor Chongzhen was somewhat disapproving.
Except for the Mongolian country where the navy is unknown in later generations, don’t the remaining Mongolian brothers still regard themselves as Chinese?
Just straighten up your temper a little bit, and drink a little, what's left?People didn't argue all day about Jianguo or something.
It's not that I don't know the methods used by the later generations. As long as they don't treat them as foreigners, they will be happy to fully integrate into Ming Dynasty.
The simplest and most direct example is Zhuoli Ketuhan and Bushituhan. These two old guys are now dependent on the capital of Daming. They eat, drink and have fun every day, and they have no intention of going back at all.
Honglu Temple has already inquired about it several times, and they don't care about the land in the Tumote Department at all. The next step is whether to reform the land and return it to the local people.
That is to say, as long as the Ming court pays the salary on time every month, people will be happy to eat, drink and have fun. As for the pastures, the court can deal with them whatever they want. When they are concerned about the pastures, it is better to read more Analects of Confucius.
For the coquettish operation of these two old guys, the whole court was convinced. No one thought that the Tatar savage, who started the film at the beginning of a disagreement, has now become more obedient than a cat.
But Emperor Chongzhen didn't feel the slightest surprise.
On the one hand, it is good to eat and drink, and on the other hand, the whole Manchu people have built a Beijing temple. Anyone with an average IQ knows how to choose.
Besides, how many tribes are there in the whole of Monan and Mobei?How many people are there in total?With the wool policy and the smoking policy that has been implemented long ago, can they still get into chaos?
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered: "Tell Battelle to come and see me."
After receiving the summon from Emperor Chongzhen, Battelle immediately changed his armor, and following the angels hurried into the palace, the first thing he said after seeing Emperor Chongzhen salute was to ask directly: "Your Majesty But where should we use our troops?"
Battelle feels very boring recently. As the most loyal and brave eagle dog under the throne of the Holy Son of Heaven, the time when he can't cut people with a knife is boring and meaningless. What he should do most is to straddle a steed and carry a machete , Sweep away all the garbage that does not surrender to the Holy Son of Heaven, and spread the prestige of the Son of Heaven to all directions.
However, looking at the whole world, where is there room for oneself?Unless the Holy Son of Heaven decides to kill Mughal, Ottoman and those white slaves now, he can only sigh with his sword, or train his cavalry desperately.
Battelle didn't think he was the one who sighed and sighed all day long, so he had no choice but to devote all his energy to training, training those cavalrymen of the same race to death, so that they could master the ability to survive on the battlefield.
Now that Emperor Chongzhen finally came to summon him, it is estimated that he will use troops somewhere, which made Battelle a little overjoyed.
However, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth, Battelle felt a little confused: "Come here, get another piece of clothing and let Aiqing Battelle try it on."
Battelle touched the cashmere sweater in his hand, still a little confused: "Your Majesty, this is?"
Emperor Chongzhen laughed loudly and said, "Ai Qing, do you still remember what I said when I brought you to the north with the Duke of England?"
Without waiting for Battelle's answer, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I once said at that time that the people in Monan and Mobei should also be able to have enough food, and that the people in Monan and Mobei should be included in the Ming Dynasty from now on, and the people of Ming Dynasty should be included in the Ming Dynasty. One body, no distinction between each other?"
Battelle was even more confused.
Emperor Chongzhen did say these words. After killing Lin Danhan's Bazai, when his subordinate Wan Qi held a bonfire party with the killers of the Beijing Camp and the New Army, Emperor Chongzhen did say these words.
But what does this have to do with the shirt he is touching?
Also, His Majesty summoned himself, not to kill people?
Seeing the puzzled look on Battelle's face, Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "This is a cashmere sweater woven from sheep. It feels soft and fits well. It will surely become popular across the country in the future.
In the future, in addition to farming, people in the desert can also herd sheep, get cashmere from sheep, or weave it by themselves, or sell it, and finally get silver and buy other things. Is this life stable? "
Battle nodded and said: "Yes, as Your Majesty said, no matter in the south or north, as long as there is food to eat, salt, tea, and cloth, the people will be at peace, and no one will think of making trouble anymore. .”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "So, I plan to send you back. Bring some cashmere sweaters and some craftsmen to the Tumote Department, and Monan Mobei, and tell the people there to graze well. Through these cashmere, people can sell silver, and then they can buy salt, tea, iron pots, spices, and everything they want to buy."
Battelle was startled, and the hand that was caressing the cashmere sweater stopped, and he said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, such things as knives, guns, bows and arrows are absolutely forbidden!
The grassland is bitterly cold, and herdsmen fight wolves, wind and snow, and even humans, so most of them are rebellious. If they get bows and arrows, they may cause more chaos! "
Battelle really knows his own clansmen too well, it is not common to see people being stabbed with a knife when they disagree with each other in Ming Dynasty, but there are a lot of them on the grassland, it is as simple as eating and drinking water in the Central Plains.
The reason is also very simple.
The grassland is really too big, and it is not impossible to set up government management, but for the herdsmen, if people are chopped up here today, they can go to another pasture to graze as soon as they turn around with the cart. Who would take the law as their own? thing?
If weapons such as swords, bows and arrows are controlled, it's okay to say that even if these bastards use their fists, they will only be bruised and swollen or injured, and the possibility of killing people is not too great.
But once the control is released, it's hard to say what these lawless bastards can do.
Battle did not dare to gamble.
It’s okay if the bet wins, but once the bet is lost, some people really have the guts to break the law and rebel, what will happen then?
To pacify the chaos, the one who killed the same clan, if not to quell the chaos, can I, and those cavalry, still be trusted by His Majesty?
Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile and said: "Similar to the weapons and armor in the army, there are also some heavy bows and crossbows. Naturally, it is impossible to let go, but other swords, and some small bows and arrows can also be released." Let the herdsmen prepare for self-defense.
I know that no matter how much the imperial court bans these things, the herdsmen will still have them. After all, they still have to guard against wild wolves, bears and leopards on the grasslands. It would be impossible without bows and arrows.
After you go back, you must let everyone know when you go from one tribe to another. If you have any disputes, remember to go to the government. Don’t use force to fight at will, otherwise it will not only affect the tribes, but even their relatives who are soldiers in Beijing. affected.
I believe that they will not joke about the future of their relatives in the army. "
In desperation, Battelle had no choice but to agree, but he made up his mind that he must find a few unsightly people to teach him a lesson later, so as not to cause trouble again.
In fact, similar to what Emperor Chongzhen expected, cashmere sweaters became popular in the capital very quickly.
As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be followed by the bottom, or the king of Chu is so thin and starved to death in the palace, the people in the capital are very quick to accept clothes like cashmere sweaters, especially the rumors that the nobles in the palace are also When you like this thing.
After all, the big guys are just hearing about life in the palace, and they all understand that Emperor Chongzhen couldn't really carry a golden hoe to farm, and the empress couldn't bake scallion pancakes every day.
Then just wear the clothes that the nobles in the palace like, just like the fans of the later generations always like the same style of idols-the difference is that the celebrity endorsement is for money, and the emperor Chongzhen made the cashmere sweater for the sake of money. land and population.
