Qiming 1158

Chapter 777 Infinite Justice
Su Yonglin asked in one sentence, Yelu Yuanyi saw that no one was talking, so he stood up and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I think that this matter is not big or small, and what Your Majesty is concerned about is nothing more than the fact that after the collapse of the Kled and Qiyan Clan, without their checks and balances, the rest of the divisions can become bigger, so it is best The practice is nothing more than Daming directly taking action to manage the grasslands.

But the problem is that there are many things in Daming at the moment, and there is not enough financial resources to support the occupation and rule of the grasslands. The management of the Yellow River consumes most of the energy of Daming, and the rest of the daily government affairs are also very complicated. Directly manage the grasslands. "

Saying that, Yelu Yuanyi looked at Lin Jingchun who was sitting on the side.

Noticing Yelu Yuanyi's gaze, Lin Jingchun glared at him.

"What do I do? I don't have money! Your Ministry of Civil Affairs has already given you this year's budget, what do you want? You don't want to repair the Yellow River! What do you need so much money for? not now!"

Lin Jingchun became a little nervous because he was asked for money many times at the recent government affairs meeting. Anyone who saw him felt that he wanted to ask him for money, so his reaction was more intense.

The last sentence was said by Su Yonglin, basically for Su Yonglin.

It seems that he is really worried that Su Yonglin has an idea about the grassland again, and wants to spend a lot of money to manage the grassland, adding a bottomless pit to the Ming Dynasty that can't be filled no matter what.

In this regard, Su Yonglin laughed dumbly.

Su Yonglin smiled, and the other bosses also laughed.

Without him, Lin Jingchun has been a little funny recently. Everyone seems to be asking for money. He covers his money bag wherever he goes, for fear that someone will take it out of his pocket and walk forward.

It is said that people in every department of the imperial court now bet on which department's boss can get more money than the predetermined share from Lin Jingchun. If anyone can get it, this department will have a lot of face in the imperial court.

"I didn't say I wanted money, Lin Shangshu, don't be too sensitive. I just sighed that it was not easy for you to be in power."

Yelu Yuanyi shook his head helplessly, and said again: "The Ministry of Finance obviously can't come up with more money, without money, there is no way to manage the grassland, and the management of the grassland itself is quite difficult, no matter whether it is in the past. The Liao Kingdom, or the Jin Kingdom, did not directly manage the grasslands, and the methods used were nothing but the word "restriction"."

Su Yonglin was silent for a while.

"Yuanyi, do you mean that Daming should also learn from the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, and use the means of restraint to control the grasslands?"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Yelu Yuanyi said, "Neither the Liao Kingdom nor the Jin Kingdom can directly control the prairie, but through their support and suppression of the many tribes on the prairie, they have succeeded in making the prairie no absolutely powerful tribe able to command the heroes.

As long as there is no absolutely powerful tribe that can control the situation and command the heroes, the grasslands cannot threaten the Central Plains. "

"Well, keep talking."

Su Yonglin nodded.

"According to the order."

Yelu Yuanyi then said: "I think that if the grassland cannot threaten the Central Plains, it only needs four words."

"Which four words?"

"Hoe the strong and help the weak."

After Yelu Yuanyi said a word, Su Yonglin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha! Hoe the strong to help the weak! Hahahahaha..."

Many people in the audience couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Yelu Yuanyi also laughed out loud.

Indeed, quite funny.

It was clearly for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, so it became a scumbag on the grasslands, so that the grasslands would never live in peace, and they would deal ruthless blows to those who took the lead. No one was allowed to challenge the dominance of the Ming Dynasty, but in Yelu Yuanyi. In his mouth, this matter suddenly became justice.

Look, how righteous are these four words, hoeing the strong and helping the weak?

Because of these four words, everything that the Ming Kingdom has done in the future, and everything that it has done to the grasslands, can be regarded as justice, even infinite justice.

Because I am hoeing the strong and helping the weak, I am supporting the weak, I am fighting the strong, and I am doing the right thing.

As long as I can always hoe the strong and help the weak, as long as I can always hoe the strong and help the weak, the grassland will never be a threat, and I will always be righteous.

Of course it's hilarious.

However, Su Yonglin also knew very well that it was very difficult to be strong forever, and it could even be said that it did not exist. The Ming Dynasty was not sure that it would always hoe the strong and support the weak and would not help the grassland to raise a Gu King.

Anyway, when the people of Jinguo decided to eliminate the Tatars, they definitely didn't think that they would make Temujin the last Gu-king.

Anyway, when Li Chengliang decided to raise pirates to fight against the imperial court, he definitely did not expect to make Nurhachi the ultimate Gu-king.

Raising Gu is a very dangerous thing. There are always people who think that they can always control the situation through micro-manipulation, and they always feel that these chess pieces cannot escape their Wuzhishan.

But they are not Tathagata Buddha.

Su Yonglin felt that hoeing the strong and supporting the weak could be used, but it was only an expedient measure. It was an expedient measure in the period when the Ming Dynasty was not free to fully intervene in grassland governance. on the threat.

As for the method...

Su Yonglin suddenly thought of the cattle and sheep on the grassland, the conditions of animal husbandry on the grassland, and the sheep on the grassland, and then jumped to the British sheep cannibalism movement.

The root cause of the enclosure movement was the world connectivity brought about by the great voyage, which made the UK become the world's commercial and trade center, the wool textile industry developed greatly, and the market price rose all the way.

Some Britons saw business opportunities, so they began to enclose their fields and herd sheep to make money. In the past few hundred years, they have turned half of the arable land in the UK into pastures, and a large number of farmers have gone bankrupt and lost their land and have nowhere to go. They can only enter the city.

The industrial revolution and the proletarian workers transformed from bankrupt peasants entered the stage of history and changed the course of history forever.

Unlike the Ming Kingdom, the United Kingdom is for making money, and the Ming Kingdom is not only for making money, but also needs to tame the grasslands and relieve the threat of nomads to itself—using economic means.

For the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed a logical move to promote the expansion of the Central Plains Dynasty to the grasslands by developing the wool textile industry to stimulate the demand for grasslands.

If this one-stop industrial chain is opened up, the overall situation can be revitalized.

But Su Yonglin soon realized that there was a serious problem.

Wool weaving is like the development of all textile industries. It started two or three thousand years ago. The Central Plains has always had wool weaving technology. It is not uncommon for people to know that wool can be used to weave clothes.

But the problem isn't here, it's efficiency.

It is too inefficient to use traditional handicraft textile technology to weave wool products. In the end, the price is high and it becomes a luxury product. It is not enough to promote industrial upgrading, nor can it form a large-scale industry and generate large-scale economic benefits. This prompted the Central Plains dynasty to permanently occupy the grasslands.

From harvesting wool to picking wool to the final textile process, traditionally, the manpower and time required are quite amazing. If there is no technological revolution and progress, the mass production and price reduction of wool textile cannot be achieved. The idea is simply not feasible.

If wool fabrics become a luxury product, the demand will only be greatly limited, and the economic ecology of the Central Plains and grasslands will not be changed.

Therefore, it is the most critical part to improve the existing textile machines and technology, and to carry out technological innovation for the entire wool textile industry, so that it is no longer exclusive to luxury goods and nobles.

Thinking of this, Su Yonglin knew what to do.

"It certainly makes sense to hoe the strong and help the weak, but hoeing the strong and helping the weak will not solve the fundamental problem."

Yelu Yuanyi nodded.

"Naturally, hoeing the strong and helping the weak is only an expedient measure. The real solution is to wait for the completion of the Yellow River renovation project. The imperial court has sufficient financial resources and can free up its hands. Naturally, the army will be able to expedition the grasslands north and completely solve the scourge of the grasslands."

As soon as Yelu Yuanyi finished speaking, Zhou Jiang, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and retorted.

"What Yelu Shangshu said is true, but the minister believes that this is not the final solution."

Yelu Yuanyi turned to look at Zhou Jiang, his face full of unhappiness.

"Zhou Shilang, what do you mean by that?"

"Literally speaking, the most violent person in the northern expedition to the grasslands is none other than Han Wu. However, after the attacks of several generations of emperors after Han Wu, has the scourge of the grasslands been solved?"

Zhou Jiang, as a member of the Shandong family, has always been dissatisfied with these Khitan people, so he has no good feelings for them, and he has never said anything good to them.

Yelu Yuanyi knew Zhou Jiang's virtue, so he took a deep breath and his face became grim.

"Isn't that enough?"

"Certainly not enough."

Zhou Jiang said sternly: "The Xiongnu did decline, but after that, the Xianbei power became strong, and Karasuma followed closely. The later Han was extremely distressed, the frontier was corrupted, and it was almost unstoppable, and it was the origin of the five chaos in China! Full of stench!"

Yelu Yuanyi's complexion changed suddenly, Yelu Chenghui, Li Baocheng, Mi Yuan and others all changed suddenly.

They are all foreigners, not Han people, they all belong to the foreign ethnic group. Zhou Jiang's words sounded like he was scolding the Wuhu at that time, but in the current context, it was obviously referring to Sang scolding Huai, pointing at them and scolding them together.

"Zhou Shilang, be careful!"

Yelu Chenghui has always been known for his good manners, and what he does is quite the style of a great scholar in ancient times. Some people even say that he is elegant and not like a Khitan, but now he is accused of being scolded by Zhou Jiang, and he is obviously not happy.

But it doesn't matter, although his grade is higher than Zhou Jiang, Zhou Jiang doesn't care at all.

I look down on it, I look down on it, if I'm not happy, I'm not happy, and I didn't name me by name.
"Why be cautious? I'm just talking about things. Do you have any opinions? Isn't what I said really happened? Or do you think I'm wrong? If so, please correct me."

Zhou Jiang smiled slightly, and Yelu Chenghui's face turned black.

He swears that he has never hated Zhou Jiang as much as he does today, and even faintly hated his identity as a Khitan.

The courtier, who was also a foreigner, also looked at Zhou Jiang with the eyes of his enemies, and there was a faint sign that he could not bear the anger.

Their dissatisfaction with Zhou Jiang and their unreasonable low self-esteem made them extremely annoyed.

Su Yonglin looked at it almost, and if it continued, it would turn into a conference on ethnic conflicts, which is not today's topic.

So he spoke.

"Whether Han people, Khitan people, Bohai people, Xi people, they are all people of the Ming Dynasty, they all speak the same words, write the same characters, wear the same clothes, read the same books, and eat the same food. Come to each other, I'm afraid they will be entangled, so don't talk about it in the future."

The emperor personally came down to smooth things out, and others couldn't say anything, so they could only give up.

Zhou Jiang also wisely did not continue to use the topic to play.

He bowed to Su Yonglin and said: "Your Majesty, Han Wu's expedition to the grasslands in the north has made the world exhausted, the household registration at home has been halved, and the violence has reached this point, but it is still impossible to conquer the grasslands. After the Huns, there were Xianbei and Wuwan, and then there were Wuhu. It can be seen from this that the use of troops alone cannot solve the grassland problem.”

Yelu Yuanyi couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes.

"Then tell me, how can we completely solve the grassland problem? Kill all of them? Kill them cleanly?"

Zhou Jiang looked indifferent.

"I'm just saying that Yelu Shangshu's solution is not good. I didn't say how to solve it. If the grassland problem can be solved easily, it won't be delayed for a long time. It can't be solved until today. I don't have that great talent."

"you……"

Yelu Yuanyi was furious and pointed at Zhou Jiang: "Are you kidding me? Are you just against me?"

"Don't dare."

Zhou Jiang bowed his hands and saluted: "It's just a matter of fact, my intelligence is limited, and I can't solve this eternal problem. I also ask Yelu Shangshu not to blame."

After speaking, he sat down safely, his face full of the proper smile of a victor.

Yelu Yuanyi, who looked hideous, looked a bit like a clown.

Yelu Yuanyi, who had lost face, was furious, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger and sit down angrily.

The deep-rooted festivals and prejudices between the foreign clan and the Shandong clan cannot be resolved, and no one can resolve them.

Su Yonglin didn't express his opinion on this kind of dispute, but only made a vague mention.

"It's okay to object, there's no saying that it's not allowed to object, you must object to wrong things, otherwise it's irresponsible, but objection either has something to say or can come up with a more practical strategy, you can't object for the sake of objection, or Opposing for some unnecessary reasons, it is not a discussion, it is a party dispute, you need to keep in mind."

Su Yonglin's light warning was both a response and a declaration, and all the ministers said that they already knew.

As for whether it will be committed again, that is another matter.
