It is no secret that the Hetao region is important to the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming rulers have blind spots here and have given up the extremely important Hetao region.

This has caused the defense system in the entire northern region to be gapped between Datong and Ningxia, causing continuous harassment and losses to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, even if the Dongshengwei is restored, the transportation and consumption of materials for the troops stationed in the army will be a huge difficulty. This should be the main reason for abandoning Hetao.

But Zhu Tongmeng doesn't know how to say or ask now. He hasn't even said a word yet, so it's really inappropriate to consider this now.

"I have said enough." Zhu Youxiao smiled, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The last one is to add one, that is, the tea-horse trade between Xuanfu. The rules must be changed, and you should take them step by step, and don't be too hasty..."

Xuanfu, also known as Zhangjiakou, has gradually formed a border trade market with "tea and horse trade" in the Yuanbaoshan area outside Dajingmen.

Livestock, fur, medicinal materials, wool fabrics, silverware from Mongolian grasslands, silk, tea industry, porcelain and sugar transported by mainland merchants, were traded here and promoted the prosperity of Zhangjiakou.

For Zhu Youxiao, mutual trade is not only a means to win over and appease Mongolian tribes, but also a profitable big deal.

Although he had a long-term conspiracy against the eight locust merchants who treasoned the country, it did not mean that they would continue to make money by relying on border trade.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Youxiao wanted to use his own "imperial merchants" to monopolize border trade. The eight major locust merchants could only miss some leftovers and cold roasts to feed the dogs.

It is similar to "sending books and putting flags" to "selling books and putting flags", but Zhu Youxiao's definition is more willing to call this method "import and export license".

"The implementation of the license system should have no impact on the current border trade and can increase the income of the court, but it is just that the merchants are different."

Zhu Youxiao looked at his palm lines with a meaningful smile and said slowly: "It's not too late to implement the sales of Zhu Qing after he trains his elite troops. Now, let's find out the situation of the Mongolian tribes first and be prepared!"

"Long live foresight, I admire you very much." Zhu Tongmeng was really convinced. This interlocking plan, including military, politics, and business, is he afraid that he cannot subdue the Western Captains by taking multiple measures?

Zhu Youxiao smiled and pressed his hands down, handed the two documents to the palace servants and handed them over to Zhu Tongmeng, and said, "This is the general strategy and policy, and the list of capable personnel I have selected. Zhu Qing should take a few days off and call them to discuss matters. As for whether it is suitable for use in the future, Zhu Qing should be dedicated to it."

Zhu Tongmeng took the documents and put them in, and another palace servant sent them a secret box. Seeing that the emperor had no more instructions, he bowed tactfully and said he was tactfully.

The Yu Study room was quiet again, and Zhu Youxiao gently tapped the armrest of the chair, lowering his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking.

Sun Chuanting, Zhu Tongmeng, Wu Yongxian, Lu Xiangsheng, plus Ji Town General Yang Zhaoji, Xuanfu Town General You Shiwei, Datong General Sun Zushou, and newly appointed Ningxia General Ma Shilong and Yansui Town General He Huchen. The northern border line is full of famous ministers and brave generals.

That's right, Lu Xiangsheng will assist Zhu Tongmeng in Xuanda to consolidate the military and military affairs as the right political sect and deputy envoy.

The former general of Deng Town, He Huchen, was transferred to Yansui Town, not because he was not loyal and brave enough, but because he was not good at boat and water battles. The northwest was his hometown, where he could better play his strengths.

The one who took over as the general of Dengzhen was Zhang Keda, a new general who had frequent achievements in destroying Japanese and killing thieves. Zhang Keda was not only able to fight, but also knowledgeable and talented, and had achievements in governance, and was quite like a Confucian general.

With so many capable generals, half a year later, the military towns should be strong and powerful, so they can have a good chat with the Mongolian tribes?

Zhu Youxiao was considering the time and felt that he had finally arranged the important towns in Jiubian. As long as he ensured that the food and salary were sufficient, he would not have to do everything himself in the future, and he was too worried.

How did Zhuge Liang die? He was so exhausted!

A qualified and wise leader should not do everything in detail and take care of everything yourself.

We must know how to "focus on the big and let go of the small", be able to identify and employ people, concentrate time and energy to resolve the main contradictions, so that we can firmly grasp the initiative in our work.

Xunzi once said: If the master is good at being a key, everything will be detailed; if the master is good at being a detailed one, everything will be in vain.

Zhu Youxiao felt that choosing talents and appointing abilities is the key to being a king. If all the ministers are mediocre people, it would be useless even if you are exhausted.

Just like Chongzhen, alas, this is a typical example of how he can remember anything.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and looked at the time. Although it was a bit early, there was no work to deal with, so he got up and walked out, and set up the place where the concubine Wang Liang of the East Palace was.

Concubine Liang of the East Palace and Concubine Duan Chun of the West Palace were appointed by the emperor together with Queen Zhang Yan, and are considered the oldest.

But he asked a palace maid who was serving the cat to steal the lottery. He didn't say it, but no one felt excited.

Queen Zhang Yan wants to be generous to the world, while Duan Chunfei is a gentle and soft-hearted person, and neither of them is very obvious.

In comparison, Concubine Wang seemed impatient and irritable, which was also due to her personality.

Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry, and he also shared some common sense with Zhang Yan, Concubine Wang Liang, and Concubine Duan Chun, so that they could have more activities and exercise in their daily lives. Only when they were healthy and mature would they have a better chance.

Not only that, Zhu Youxiao also designed several simple sports equipment for craftsmen to build and install them in various palaces.

Zhang Yan and Concubine Chun were still a little reserved and embarrassed to exercise on the equipment. The most obedient and active person was Concubine Wang Liang.

This day, she was sweating profusely after exercising again, and Concubine Wang quickly took a shower. She calculated the time and waited for the emperor to arrive, and she could dress up beautifully and wash it fragrantly to welcome the sacred carriage.

The warm fragrant soup wrapped around the body. In the bathtub, Concubine Wang closed her eyes slightly comfortably.

It was not until the sound of "Long Live" came outside that she suddenly opened her eyes wide and rushed to the palace maids to get bath towels and clothes, but saw that the emperor had already walked in.

No one dared to stop the emperor, and it was not someone else who took the bath inside, but his concubine.

"I'm sorry—" Concubine Wang Liang was shy and shrank into the bathtub and said, "I'm not polite and can't welcome you. Please live and don't blame me."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the concubine Wang Liang, who was covering her chest with her chest, slightly exposed her white jade-like skin and extremely shy, and felt a sense of pity and love.

"The most tenderness of the bow of the head is just like the shyness of the lotus that cannot beat the cool breeze. I said a stunning voice, and praised it. The stunning voice is filled with sweet sorrow-"

Concubine Wang Liang raised her eyes and recalled the emperor's chant just now. She didn't know what the lyrics were, but it sounded as comfortable as breathing the fragrant fragrance of flowers.

Seeing his woman's eyes become blurry, warm, soft and gentle, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, waved the palace maid back, and walked over...

The bathtub is a little small, so you have to make a big one!

Nanjing, the residence of Zhou Yanru, the young secretary of the Hanlin Academy.

"I'll kill Dongchang's mantra like this? This is a fool!" Zhou Yanru threw down the letter, his white hair and beard trembled, and he cursed.

Wu Changshi, who was sitting there, had received a letter. After reading it, his face changed drastically. He trembled with his lips and said, "How could this happen, how could this happen?"

Why were the two of them angry and afraid? Because He Wangsheng, Lu Xianming, Li Fengshen and others who went to the capital to run a newspaper to open a college have been arrested by the Dongchang and have been punished for being confusing with evil words and confusion, they have been beheaded in the capital.

These people are all scholars with some fame. The title was "Famous Scholars in the County" at that time. But the court cut them all off like this, and they were so clean that they were shockingly clean.

Not only these people, but also the censor Liang Menghuan was implicated. As the contact person in the capital, Liang Menghuan had been confiscated and was probably the least likely to be exiled.

Speaking of which, these "famous scholars in the county" were not going to the capital themselves. Instead, they invited them to the township officials and gentry for money.

Of course, the origins of these famous scholars also determined that they would not agree with Zhu Youxiao's reform. From this point of view, they also wanted to go against the emperor or the court from the bottom of their hearts.

There was no ban on the court when running newspapers and opening a college, or there was no ban on the court for the time being.

So, after feeling the malice of the court, or the emperor, towards the gentry and landlords, these guys wanted to compete in public opinion.

In their plan, first start the newspaper and do not show off your articles and words to avoid arousing the emperor's alertness.

Liang Menghuan, the censor who presided over the matter in the capital, instructed them to approach Zhang Guoji, and use complimentary pranks and money to send Zhang Guoji to run a newspaper together.

This trick was very harmful. First, he treated Zhang Guoji as a wall to block the wind. When the newspaper had an influence and argued with the court, people would see the scene of his father-in-law opposing the emperor's son-in-law.

It's a bit ironic and a bit funny. Even his family doesn't agree with it. The emperor is really alone!

But things were broken. No one expected that Zhang Guoji had learned a lesson. He was afraid that he would have any involvement with his daughter, who was already a mother of a country, so he told Zhang Yan about this in advance.

Moreover, no one expected that the emperor would be so cruel. He immediately dispatched the Dongchang man to take down all these people and killed everyone.

As for the newspaper, the newspaper was gone before it was released.

Zhou Yanru paused and scolded, sighed again, and when his eyes turned to Wu Changshi, he couldn't help but frown.

Wu Changshi's face was already pale, and a layer of tiny beads of sweat emerged from his forehead. His hands that stretched out the tea cup were trembling slightly.

I'm scared, this guy is scared.

Zhou Yanru suddenly felt a chill on his body and his hair stood up.

The emperor is so cruel, will he follow the clues and track down himself? Wu Changshi probably thought of this and looked so scared, right?

Moreover, I just scolded the foolish lord.

Zhou Yanru blinked his eyes, his feet became a little weak. He hurriedly sat down in the chair, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Come on, don't be panicked. Thinking about the name of the court's conviction, it is extremely perfunctory, and even suspected of being killed in vain, you will know that there will be no major problems."
