Chapter 778 Turn Rogues into Good People

Su Yonglin didn't mind some disputes within the court.

It is better to count on them to unite as one than to count on the realization of the Great Harmony in the world.

What's more, if they were united, Su Yonglin's own Elemental Servant would be in danger.

Guarantee their disputes within a certain range and give them the freedom to quarrel, which is what the emperor should do.

It's time to make a fuss, it's time to make a fuss, and Su Yonglin will be the referee when there is a fight.

But anyway, the real thing is to do.

"Hoeing the strong and helping the weak is certainly a strategy that can be used at present. Currently, for the tribes on the grasslands, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak is useful, but hoeing the strong and supporting the weak is also playing with fire. There are more reliable solutions to the scourge of the grasslands."

Su Yonglin stood up and said slowly, "The gentlemen suggested to use war to solve the problem, I think it is feasible, war can indeed solve some problems, but not all problems, war is a means, not an end.

If we want to achieve the means to eliminate the scourge of the grasslands, we need to start from the root of the grassland herdsmen's existence, and find the root cause of their survival on the grassland and it is difficult to contain them. Don't look at the appearance, but look at the root cause. Gentlemen, you know how I am Are you looking at this? "

Su Yonglin walked and walked, walked to the back of Yelu Yuanyi's seat, supported Yelu Yuanyi's seat back with both hands, made Yelu Yuanyi feel uncomfortable, tried to stand up, but was pressed down by Su Yonglin again.

"I listen to the hadith."

Zhao Zuoliang, who had been silent for a while, spoke up.

Su Yonglin smiled.

"It's very simple, I think the reason why the grassland herdsmen are so strong, belligerent, and greedy is that they have no way to live and work in peace and contentment like the people of the Ming Dynasty. Constantly changing the place to live.

People who live without a fixed place like this, people who are wandering around, the ancients gave them a derogatory name, called rogues. This is also the kind of people the ancients were most worried about. They can bring the greatest harm to the people who live and work in peace and contentment. They have to be guarded against. On the grasslands, there are all such people. "

The ministers listened to Su Yonglin's words, some fell into deep thought, and some nodded while thinking.

Kong Maojie, the censor of the Right Capital, pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.

"Your Majesty means that you want these rogues to become people who can live and work in peace, right?"

Su Yonglin went around behind Kong Maojie and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, if we want to fundamentally solve the problem, we must find a way to turn them from rogues into good people. This is the fundamental way to solve the problem. It's just sending troops to attack, it's endless, wasting military expenses and dragging the country down. collapsed."

Chen Jichang, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, frowned and stood up.

"Your Majesty, turning rogues into good people can be done in the Central Plains, as long as the land is granted, but what should we do on the grasslands? Could it be that all the grassland herdsmen should be relocated to the Central Plains and granted them fields? "

"Don't say that I don't want to, I don't have the money to pull all the millions of grassland herdsmen to the Central Plains. My idea is to find the way they live, master the way they live, and then control live."

Su Yonglin said slowly: "What the grassland shepherds depend on for survival is nothing more than cattle, sheep and horses. Horses are used to ride, cattle and sheep are used to eat and drink, and some leather products and bone products are produced based on this, basically relying on the sky. Have a meal.

If the climate is good and the water and grass are abundant, then the cattle, sheep and horses will grow well, and their lives will be fine, and they will tend to trade with the Central Plains in exchange for living materials. To die for it, their lives are in question.

In this case, they will go south to Koubian at all costs, because if they stay on the grassland, they will starve to death. If they fight south, they may still be able to live. If you are faced with such a situation, what choice will you make? "

The ministers look at me, I look at you, all nodded, agreeing with Su Yonglin's opinion.

"If this is the case, it must be a desperate fight to survive, and the person who fights to the death is the most terrifying person."

Zhao Zuoliang stroked his beard and said slowly: "His Majesty said this to explain the reason why the barbarians on the grasslands repeatedly went south and refused to stop."

"That's it, it's us, don't we also have to eat from the sky? If the year is good, if you have enough grain, you will be able to live. If the year is bad, if you don't have enough grain, you will be hungry, and you will be able to live. There are refugees, and then there are robbers, and this is the case in the Central Plains, and so is the grassland."

Su Yonglin slowly paced with his hands behind his back, and said, "So I think, if we can find a way to make life for the grassland herdsmen even in barren years, that would be great, if we can survive without working hard, who doesn't want to? Woolen cloth?"

The ministers, look at me, I look at you, and then look at Su Yonglin together.

Su Yonglin clapped his hands and asked the servant outside the hall to bring in a piece of clothing.

A sweater, a sweater.

"This is a sweater, a wool sweater woven by the Textile Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. Because it is for the queen, they carefully woven it. It took a month and twelve people joined forces to knit it for the queen. The queen tried this great wool sweater, it's very warm and perfect for winter."

Su Yonglin held this sweater that Zhao Xirui liked very much and showed it to the ministers.

The ministers looked at this luxury sweater, and it felt really good. It looked soft, it must be very warm, and it must be very comfortable to wear. It is very suitable for wearing in the cold winter.

Among the ministers, only Lin Jingchun was stunned for a moment after seeing the sweater, then suddenly realized and reacted.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that we use the wool grown by so many sheep on the grassland to weave woolen clothes, so as to promote wool clothes and form a business that accommodates the entire grassland?"

Su Yonglin smiled.

"That's right! It's still Jingchun who understands my heart the most!"

Su Yonglin walked behind Lin Jingchun, put his hands on his shoulders, and said, "I thought about it for a long time before I realized that there are many sheep on the grassland, many, many, many sheep, more than cattle and horses, except for meat and milk, sheep It also produces wool, and this sweater is woven from the wool of grassland sheep.

Then, I noticed that in winter we have all kinds of clothing made of fur to keep out the cold, and we are not afraid of severe cold at all, but ordinary people can only wear clothing made of cloth, which is good if it is not cold. It can hide in the house and cannot move, it is difficult to move in winter, and it is easy to get frostbite and get sick.

Since woolen clothes are so warm, if they can be woven on a large scale and directly supplied to the people of the country, not only woolen clothes, but also woolen pants, woolen socks, woolen hats, woolen scarves, woolen boots, then they can all be safe in winter. Pass through without having to endure the bitter cold.

And everyone, how many people are there in the country?If so many people need wool products, what will be the demand for wool in the Central Plains?Are there enough sheep on the grassland?Is there enough wool to use?Will the grassland still be a bottomless pit and a gold-swallowing beast for us? "
