"Master, Master, I am thinking about the Golden Horde." After Lu Fang sent away the proud Liu Changqing, he returned to the monastery and saw Jiajing who was slightly in a trance, and whispered to wake him up.
"Lu Fang, what do you think?" Jiajing did not express his attitude first.
“The slaves are not very talented and have little knowledge. They only think that it is thousands of miles away. However, the Han and Tang Dynasties also had contact with each other in the past. The Huns and Turks in the history books are said to have also arrived there. What about Moscow? If Ivan of the principality can defeat the Golden Horde in a field battle, I am afraid that his power is not small." Lu Fang also expressed his position neither left nor right.
Obviously, Lu Fang is aware of the current market situation in the Ming Dynasty. He was already short of money, and now he is even more short of money for the New Deal military training. In a word, Ming Dynasty has no money to fill the big head, so it is not a Caesar.
But China has been known as the Celestial Kingdom since ancient times and is the defender of the tribute order. If Taixi is ignored, the quality of this heavenly country will inevitably be greatly reduced. The key is that once word of this gets out, it's unclear whether the vassal Congress in Nanyang will have other ideas.
The most important thing is that the pressure on the Ming Dynasty from the Guangvara Tatars in the north is already strong enough. If we really come to a principality that far exceeds Mongolia, then maybe we really come to another earthen fortress.
Therefore, we must cause trouble with that Ivan, at least for a while, until the reforms of the Ming Dynasty, especially the military reform, are completed, otherwise we will inevitably face the end of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties.
"Lu Fang, please write a note and give it to Yan Song and Xu Jie, asking them to keep it confidential, but the cabinet must come up with a solution." Jiajing naturally took the blame.
Lu Fang was a little stunned and almost didn't react to Jiajing's out-of-the-box thinking. If this kind of thing really needs to be kept secret, it would be more appropriate to invite the two elders to the palace to discuss it.
"Just inform them. In addition, they should also focus on the Golden Horde. They should also be busy. Let's get down to business." Jiajing smiled and sent Lu Fang away.
"The Golden Horde, is it real or fake? Didn't you say not long ago that you want to recover the salt tax? Is that why?" In Yan's mansion, after the father and son received the order, Yan Shifan asked quite speechlessly. .
"Even if something thousands of miles away is true, is it necessary to take care of it? Now the finances have long been unable to make ends meet. I think you will be slapped in the face and made fat just based on the nonsense of a ghost guy." He should be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor, otherwise everyone will imitate his arrogant words, and the country will never have peace." The more Yan Shifan talked, the angrier he became, and the more he talked, the more he got more and more arrogant.
"You've said enough. Let's discuss the matter without discussing the problem. Don't talk about other things. How is Yan Maoqing's recent salt patrol? It's off to a good start." Yan Song stopped his son's roar.
Of course Yan Song can understand his son's anger towards Emperor Jiajing's successive scandals, but as a minister, isn't that what you have to bear? Seeing Yan Shifan's gaffe, Lao Yan Song was somewhat dismayed. Somewhat helpless.
"The salt patrol was ordered by Yan Maoqing, and the start was okay. The capital of South Zhili was transferred to the envoySi Yamen has been controlled. Now it depends on what price Yan Maoqing can negotiate. The people in Nanzhili are so rich that they shouldn't be able to get out of it." Yan Shifan regained his consciousness and said.
"Well, patrolling salt is your duty. Only by doing this well can you live in peace. As for this, I will go to the cabinet tomorrow to see how Xu Jie is doing. After all, His Majesty's salary is not free. It’s not like some people can get their official titles just by watching a show on the dry bank."
Obviously, Yan Song did not want to get involved in the affairs of the Golden Horde of the Principality of Moscow. Now that the finances are tight, and I am responsible for the salt patrol, if someone later confuses the salt patrol with this nonsense, it will really be like falling into the Yellow River to satisfy the chief minister's personal needs. Hot-headed, this situation must not occur. At the same time, although he has been flattering for twenty years, as the most basic face of a civil servant, Yan Song still wants to mix with Taixi, but he can. It is not something that a seemingly loyal chief minister of a country should get involved in. As for persuading His Majesty who is in high spirits not to waste national power in vain, this is not something that Yan Song can do. Please remember to collect the latest and fastest website.
