Rebirth: Lie down with the system

Chapter 56 Economic Warfare

At this time, Shi Qing was thinking clearly and talking naturally, and his whole person was confident and dazzling.

"The reason why Mobei Kingdom comes to invade our border every winter is not just to kill people, right? What is it for? For food!

Because the grassland is not suitable for growing food crops, the winter is cold, the pastures wither, and most of the cattle, sheep and horses they entrust for survival will starve to death. Therefore, in order to survive, they can only fight to the death to enter the country to plunder.

Because if they don't fight, they will die. In this case, even if our country sends troops, they will not give up easily. If they fight hard, they still have hope of living. If they don't fight, they can only wait to die!

If we open border trade at this time, provide food, and accept barter, and they have a second way to go, then their determination will not be so strong. "

Shi Qing picked up the tea cup and took a sip to moisten his throat. Before he could continue, Murong Jin frowned.

"Isn't that raising tigers to cause trouble? They come to rob them because they are short of food, and we have to send them more food?"

"Of course it won't work, that's why I said that we need to cooperate in the war. We will send the Ningwu Army to guard the border and maintain trade order. We must allow both parties to do business well. What comes after is the key!

When it comes to bartering, it's up to us to decide what we want to exchange for. Now that we're short of food, I believe they won't necessarily refuse to exchange for their horses. Even if they firmly disagree, we can also exchange for their cattle and sheep! And it has to be a long-term cooperation! "

Seeing Murong Jin's confused look, Shi Qing continued to explain.

"Think about it, if you can exchange cattle and sheep for enough food for the winter, those herdsmen will definitely raise more cattle and sheep. The grassland is so big. If there are more cattle and sheep, there will naturally be fewer horses~

Will the Mobei people, who are missing their war horses, still be our opponents next year? Those herdsmen who have enough food for the winter will naturally not risk their lives to invade our border, don't you think? "

Murong Jin suddenly realized what Shi Qing was talking about and understood the economic war.

Trading the enemy's supplies for their strategic reserves virtually weakens their power.

How wonderful~

In this way, they only need to pay a small price to reduce their combat power, and it will be just around the corner to capture Mobei in one fell swoop!

"But this also makes them feel too good. In previous years, our country's treasury was empty and unable to send troops. The Mobei Kingdom saw this and came to fight against the autumn wind every year. It is really abominable!"

Murong Jin, the future king of the country, hated the people who came to rob his house, and was still a little angry that he could not retaliate and go back.

Shi Qing was funny, it was rare to see the gentle and gentle prince so angry.

Shi Qing said, "Be generous, especially if you are the future leader of a country and conquer Mobei in the future, then they are also your people. Do you still hate them so much when you think about them like this?"

Murong Jin laughed after hearing this, "According to your method, Mobei will not be captured in a short time. If you cannot take revenge in time, it will not be happy enough!"

The two talked a lot about border trade, and finally talked about war horses.

Murong Jin sighed repeatedly, Mobei's war horses are good, it would be great if they could replace them with their war horses.

Shi Qing was curious, even if Mobei was suitable for raising horses, the horses in China were not bad either. The horse that pulled his carriage looked very tall!

Murong Jin was already used to Shi Qing's ignorance in certain aspects. He didn't know many common sense things about Shi Qing, and he didn't know what was in his mind. Could it be that he was occupied by those strategies?

Then Murong Jin introduced the differences between the two types of horses to Shi Qing. Generally speaking, the Mobei horses have better endurance, while the domestic horses look about the same size, but in fact they are not strong enough and their hooves will be worn out after running for a long time.

After understanding it, Shi Qing discovered a problem.

There are no horseshoes in this world! There are no saddle pedals either!

Come, come, come~

Learn about the three-piece set of horseshoes, saddles and pedals!

Murong Jin was a little excited when she got the drawings drawn by Shi Qing. It was unheard of to put shoes on a horse, but it was easy to understand. Since the hooves are easy to wear, if they are protected by iron hoofs, the real hooves will naturally not wear out.

But can a horse’s hooves really be shod?

Murong Jin still had some doubts in her heart.

But this is what Shi Qing said, and he had to believe it, because Shi Qing's wisdom has been proven countless times over the years.

"Okay, I will arrange for the craftsmen to build a set as soon as possible. Then you can give me instructions on how to use it!"

Shiqing nodded.

After dinner at Yuqing Palace, Qing returned to Yuqing Pavilion.

The palace was silent, except for the dim light from the solar street lights in the courtyard.

Shi Qing knew that Murong Li was not at home.

He frowned. In the past three months, Murong Li often stayed out of the palace at night like this. He was really a little angry.

What did Murong Li do when he left the palace?

Shi Qing originally didn't want to interfere with him too much, thinking that when they grew up, they should have their own time and space, but the two had been with each other since childhood, and now that Murong Li was suddenly no longer around, Shi Qing felt a little uncomfortable again, and he So he was angry just because he was dissatisfied with Murong Li's concealment from him.

Now he has no one to talk to, no one to eat with, and he is practicing alone...

The entire Yuqing Pavilion seemed empty.

Shi Qing sat down in the courtyard, took out a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao and poured it for himself.

Admiring the Xuan Yue in the sky, Shiqing sips the wine carefully.

Feeling this loneliness, he couldn't help but think of a poem he had learned in his previous life - Drinking alone under the moon.

A pot of wine in the flower room, no blind date alone.

Toast Mingyue, and Yingying became three people.

The month does not drink, the shadow follower follows me.

For the time being with the moon, Xingle must be in spring.

I linger on the moon, my dancing is chaotic.

Woke up with lovers, scattered after drunk.

Yongjie ruthless tour, phase Yun Yunhan.

Li Bai also drank alone under the moon like this. Did he also feel this loneliness?

Shi Qing finished one cup and poured another.

Thinking about other poems about wine in his previous life, when he thought of one, he raised his glass to the sky and drank it all in one gulp. It was as if he had a spiritual relationship with those poets under the moon. Only by drinking like this did he feel less lonely...

When Murong Li came back, he saw Shi Qing in loose robes, holding a wine glass high and reading poetry loudly. His eyes were blurred, his fair face was red, and he was obviously drunk.

Sing loudly and wildly after drinking, don't think too much about other things in front of the door. I still feel that the head of the small household wakes up first and cannot stay in the village for a long time.

Murong Li was slightly shocked when he heard the poem he was reciting.

Shi Qing has always been calm and calm, as if everything is under his control. I have never seen him so troubled.

During this period, he was busy developing his own power and spent less time with him. Could it be that something happened during this period that troubled Shi Qing.

Murong Li could hear Shi Qing's yearning and desire to get rid of the shackles of the world from the poem.

His heart tightened. Did Shi Qing want to leave?

He quickly stepped forward and took the wine glass from Shi Qing's hand, holding his hand tightly.

Being pulled by him, Shi Qing fell down on the stone bench, looking at his grabbed hand with dull eyes, as if wondering why his wine glass was missing?

Then he saw Murong Li holding him.

"Who are you? Why are you catching me? Hiccup~" Shi Qing looked at him and asked, and burped after finishing speaking.

Murong Li frowned. How much had he drank? He didn't even recognize anyone.
