Chapter 8 Planning depends on people, success depends on heaven
Most of Yun Zhao's attention is still focused on the troubled Ming Dynasty.
In the past five years, the climate in Guanzhong has gradually become stable, while the climate in Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, and Anhui has become worse.
The most terrible thing is that when the north began to experience widespread drought, the south ushered in a long period of floods.
Thieves and bandits generally advance in tandem with disasters. Their relationship with disasters is like the relationship between sand and storms.
There is a reason why big thieves rarely appear in wealthy places. In such a happy place, the country, officials, businessmen, landowners, and farmers have built an extremely harmonious society. relationship.
In this relationship, every interested party can obtain satisfactory or relatively satisfactory results.
At this time, if thieves get involved, it will destroy the relationship. Therefore, the country, officials, businessmen, landlords, and farmers will not allow thieves to appear. Under this general trend, no thieves will survive. room.
In fact, it is not the giant bandits who cause trouble in a place, but the disaster that disrupts the harmonious relationship in the local area first, and then allows thieves to take advantage of it.
Yun Zhao now needs to build a stable, harmonious relationship with the Duoyan tribe that has expanded a hundred times in an instant, so that everyone can get what they want from this tribe. Want something.
The most important thing in this relationship is the herdsmen, which is the composition of the country - the people.
The existence of a country must meet the requirements of the people. Only the ruler who meets the requirements of the people is the most natural ruler. If a ruler can do this, his royal power must be The most constant.
The herdsmen do not want to pay taxes, and they do not want to chop off one or more legs of the cattle and sheep they have worked hard to raise and give them to the ruler for free.
Yun Zhao naturally wants to satisfy them.
The cattle and sheep raised with hard work are indeed precious, and it is painful to pay taxes in vain. Therefore, the Duoyan Department despises tax payers, no matter who they are, even an orphan with only one lamb. , his lamb is also his.
This must be clear. No tribesman has the right to take that small, thin lamb away from him.
If someone really takes away the lamb from the orphan, all the people of the Duoyan tribe have the responsibility to mount their horses, carry their bows and arrows, and pick up their swords and guns to fight for the orphan - and die. Don’t turn your heels!
This is almost a transaction, demonstrating a very simple truth - everyone for me, and I for everyone.
This is also an extremely ancient and customary tribal code!
This is obviously very suitable for the Mongols. They live in groups because they are worried about being enslaved by their enemies. Although this code is ancient, it is deeply popular.
A country must not only satisfy people’s desire for a safe and prosperous life, but alsoSatisfy people's desire for a better life.
So, the Duoyan tribe has an outward-expanding code called the "Regulations on Revenge."
To put it simply, when someone else takes away a sheep from the Duoyan Department, everyone in the Duoyan Department has the right to take back that sheep and the right to take back more things from the enemy. .
Of course, the sheep taken away must be returned to the original owner ten times. If there is any remaining part, it will belong to the warrior completely, and the Duoyan tribe leader will also not collect taxes.
Managing a country certainly requires costs. The Duoyan Department does not collect taxes, but allows transactions.
The Mongolians were not a qualified trader for a long time.
Their living environment is too isolated and the information is too backward, which results in many people being able to exchange a spoon for a sheep.
On this point, Yun Zhao is not prepared to correct it. Only honest people can become the best warriors, and only poor people are suitable to risk their lives on the battlefield.
When a tribe produces something, it must be traded. Otherwise, what if the cattle and sheep in hand become sperm?
Yun Zhao felt that it would be better to leave this matter entirely to Yun's firm, so as to prevent the simple herdsmen of the Duoyan tribe from being deceived.
For the people on the grassland, if they have a stable partner to exchange goods with, no matter how exploited they are, their life will definitely be much better than that of other tribes.
Because, everyone I sell is surplus materials!
No matter how many needed supplies are exchanged for the remaining supplies, it is actually a victory.
So, in the next few years, as long as Yun Zhao’s army is not driven away by the Mongols or killed by the Jian Nu, anyone with a discerning eye can see the rapid growth of Yun’s firm.
Hong Chengchou decisively joined in... He believed that with his powers as governor of the three sides, he could participate in this transaction without having to pay a penny.
As for the request of this person who made Yun Zhao feel complicated, Yun Zhao sighed and agreed to his request.
Logically speaking, judging from his power to control the military power of the five provinces of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan, this transaction of the Yun family should not be in his eyes at all.
However, just after Yun Zhao agreed to his joining, Hong Chengchou sent an elderly housekeeper from his hometown to specially prepare for this matter.
The old housekeeper’s surname is also Hong, and his name is very festive with the word “福”.
As far as Yun Zhao knows, any servant at home who has the surname of the master and the character "福" is generally a close confidant.
Just like Yun Fu, he has not given Yun Zhao, the head of the family, a good look until now, and has made everyone accustomed to it.
“Master Zhao, my young master said that when I come to your place, I don’t have to do anything else. The only thing I have to do is to check the accounts. As long as the accounts are correct, I will have nothing to worry about. , as for what you want to doWell, this old slave's eyes are so dim that he can't see anything clearly. "
The old guy just arrived at the Duoyan Department after a long journey, so he ignored the fatigue and made his position very clear after meeting Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao said lightly : "You old dog, you are not afraid of losing your life in this barbaric land for your master's few pennies.
Hong Fu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If the old slave dies accidentally, I'll ask Master Zhao to pickle the old slave's body with salt and send someone back to Quanzhou, Fujian for burial." It's just a matter of entering the ancestral graves, it won't be a problem. ”
Yun Zhao shook his head. It was impossible to use words to talk away such a veteran who was used to the world.
Yun Zhao rubbed it hard. He rubbed his head and stretched out his hand: "Bring it here!
Hong Fu looked surprised and said quickly: "What does Master Zhao want?" "
"Your master's letter, or your master's message, hurry up, don't wait.
Hong Fu chuckled and said: "My young master said that you will definitely ask me for this thing, so I have prepared some words. If you don't ask, the young master will not allow me to say it." If Master Zhao asks, the old slave will just say. "
Yun Zhao looked into Hong Fu's eyes and said, "Speak quickly. "
Hong Fu cleared his throat and whispered: "Pig! I have a feeling of impending disaster! "
Yun Zhao said softly with a sarcastic look on his face: "Officer! The governor of three sides is about to become the commander-in-chief of nine sides. I am here to congratulate you on your success!
Hong Fu didn’t seem to hear Yun Zhao’s sarcastic words, and continued: “Zhu, do you still remember the last time we interviewed Zang Feng, a figure from Liaodong?” "
Yun Zhao sneered and said: "Officer, to put it bluntly, it will be the same if you go. It's not that you are not smart enough, but the situation in Liaodong has nothing to do with who is smart.
More than half of the world's finances and taxes are spent on Liaodong. If you achieve political achievements, you deserve it. If you fail to achieve political achievements, you deserve to be cut to pieces. "
Hong Fu continued: "Pig, Xiong Tingbi's meat was stuffed into the pit in Liaodong, Sun Chengzong and Wang Huazhen's meat were also stuffed in, and as for Yuan Chonghuan, he even stuffed the bones. Pig, I think... One person to fill the hole might be me. "
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "I think it should be you. It is absolutely impossible to win a quick victory in Liaodong, but our ruined court spends so much national money on Liaodong every year. , even His Majesty is wearing patched clothes. Who do you think can give you another few decades to slowly exhaust Huang Taiji's energy?
We have discussed before that foreigners thrive and die suddenly, and this sentence is correct.
However, the Ming Dynasty is even more dilapidated than that of Jiannu. The old house is going to fall down, and one pillar cannot hold it up. You need to get more pillars to help you support it.
I found an opportunity in Mongolia, but I don’t know if it will reach that point. I’m going to play a game of hand-for-hand. It all depends on God’s will. ”
