281 The Disposal of King Tang
Even Wen Tiren, who always felt that he knew the emperor best, could not keep up with Emperor Chongzhen's ideas.
The tribes on the grassland have always been the enemy of the Central Plains dynasty, and this has never changed. But the emperor said that his eyes should be shifted from the grassland! What does this mean, where will it be moved?
In this era, these indigenous people, no matter how smart they were, their vision was limited to the Ming Dynasty, and at most they were neighbors in the north. Their knowledge was far from comparable to that of Emperor Chongzhen at this time.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them and saw that they didn't understand, he didn't force it. At this time, he wanted to say that the journey was from the sea of stars and was too far away. The purpose of this meeting was to first determine the plan for the Hetao Plain, form this consensus, and reveal to them what he meant. The future policy and strategy were to take the initiative to attack and must not rely on the Great Wall to passively defend. This was almost done.
Thinking of this, he said a little serious: "Since you have no good plans for the time being, I will not force you. I still know that you cannot do anything about military affairs on paper. But after today, you should think about him in this direction. I will also send Jinyiwei to detect the military situation in the grassland, and also let the border town pay close attention to the movements of the grassland. The chief assistant?"
"I am here!" Wen Tiren also bowed seriously and responded with a bow.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and ordered: "The cabinet should specifically organize information on grassland tribes, mountains, rivers, tribal customs, and relationships between tribes, etc. Do you understand?"
"I obey the order!" Wen Tiren knew that Emperor Chongzhen was serious, so he immediately agreed.
Emperor Chongzhen then turned to look at the Minister of War Shen Yongmao and said, "What is the relationship between King Shunyi of Tumochuan and Lin Dankhan who was advancing westward? The Ministry of War also needs to send people to investigate this. The interests are in place, and they may not be able to unite to deal with our Ming Dynasty!"
"Abide by the order!" Shen Yongmao immediately agreed after hearing this.
The Ming Dynasty had too little knowledge of the external situation before, so it was too passive. It was time to stretch out its tentacles! Emperor Chongzhen watched the ministers withdraw from the hall, thinking in his heart that there were also situations in the countries of the South China Sea, those Western barbarians and colonists, etc., and it was better to establish an intelligence system!
Just as he was thinking, he heard the eunuch report that the Minister of Revenue Bi Ziyan asked for a meeting.
Not much time has passed, Bi Ziyan hurried into Wenhua Hall, and after seeing the ceremony, he replied: "Your Majesty, the share auction of the Ming Construction Bank will be held soon. However, many people came to the south and wanted to participate in the share auction of the capital. Will the court allow such matters?"
Last time, the Ministry of Revenue took the blame and had to reorganize the auction, Bi Ziyan immediately went to the palace to ask for instructions, for fear of being scolded again unknown next time.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately understood that the economy in the south was relatively developed, and they could better recognize the benefits of this bank. Therefore, he did not hesitate to bring a lot of money to the capital to participate in the auction, which was obviously not satisfied with the 20% stake in Yingtianfu.
For the court, what they want is money. As for whether the money is paid by the southerners or northerners, they are all from the Ming Dynasty. What does it matter?
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "The previous decree did not say that the southerners were not allowed to come to the capital for auction. As long as they were from the Ming Dynasty, the money used for auction came from Youdao, they could naturally come to the auction."
"I obey the order!" Bi Ziyan received a clear reply, bowed and prepared to leave.
However, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes turned and ordered: "The southerners came to the capital to participate in the auction. Do you know if you want to talk more in the capital to make it lively, do you understand?"
Bi Ziyan was a little stunned when he heard this, and then realized that the emperor wanted to make the stock price higher. Haha, this can be found!
Seeing Bi Ziyan retreating excitedly, Emperor Chongzhen stretched and entered the chat group to take a look, but saw Cao Huachun leaving a message in the East Factory working group.
I switched over and saw that it was good news. Cao Huachun would be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow.
Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, then clicked Cao Huachun's icon and said, "Big partner, when there are many people tomorrow, I will enter the city, and put the money on and hand it over to the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue."
When Cao Huachun heard this, he knew that the emperor wanted the people in the capital to see that the court had money. He probably did this for the sake of the promotion of the Ming Dynasty paper currency more smoothly.
Thinking of this, he quickly agreed, "I obey the order!"
Emperor Chongzhen stopped talking to him, switched to the elementary group, climbed downstairs specifically, but didn't find Haoge talking, and didn't know where this guy had gone and whether he had gone back to Liaodong! Huang Taiji wouldn't cry when he heard about the Shanxi merchants! The transport captain was gone, and he would have to rely on himself in the future!
After thinking for a while, his attention was focused on the chat content and found that the people in the junior group were mixed. A few people were talking about women and their affairs in brothels. Some of them were even very ugly!
There are also a few people talking about doing business. They are very smart and compare prices in the two places, as if they are preparing to sell some things.
There was also Wu Ergou who, after Haoge did not respond, went to catch Qian Fugui and scolded him. It seemed that Qian Fugui did not respond later, so he started scolding the government.
Man Jianghong also said something, but he was just complaining and waiting for the judgment of fate.
Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered that he had not posted the punishment memorial for the grandson of Tang. Thinking of what Wen Tiren said, he changed his mind and clicked the icon of Man Jianghong and asked privately: "If the court pardons you and still appoints you as King of Tang, the price is to clear out the private land under the name of the King of Tang, leaving only the acres in the gold book. What do you think? Will you cooperate?"
"..." Man Jianghong didn't say anything.
Emperor Chongzhen waited for a while, but without seeing the reply, he asked again: "Would you like to change the fief of the King of Tang to another place?"
After asking this, Man Jianghong waited for a while and suddenly replied: "If the court insists on rebelling, except for our Tang Dynasty, can I resist? Why do you need to be so troublesome!"
During the Zhengde period, King Ning failed to rebel, and the end result was to depose the common people and be executed, except for his vassal. But Emperor Chongzhen did not want a fief of the Tang king, but used the Tang king as an example to see if it could be useful to all vassal kings. Although it is okay to rebel and eliminate the vassal state, it is impossible to abolish the princes today and accused them of rebellion in one place tomorrow, right? Even so, what about the princes in the future?
"If he changed his territory, haha, will the emperor rest assured?"
Seeing this sentence, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and thought for a while. Originally, his sudden idea was to seal the King of Tang to the Hetao Plain, but after his answer, it seemed that the Hetao Plain was too close, and he himself was taboo.
Then seal the world and seal it... Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind, seal the Australian, how about the Americas?
