Zhu Neng can be said to be full of doubts now and has no place to ask.

The war with the Northern Yuan was originally going well, but for some reason, the court and the Northern Yuan started doing business recently.

It’s nothing to do business, but I heard that there are some small tribes in the border area often come to harass them.

Zhu Neng always felt that if these people on the grassland were not afraid of them, they would always want to live in peace with them, it would be a bit of a day and night talk.

Although Zhu Neng had such doubts in his heart, he did not dare to talk about this matter casually with His Highness the King of Liao.

After all, His Highness of the King of Liao is busy with everything he has, and he is already busy enough on weekdays. If he goes to cause trouble for him, he will feel really sorry.

If you want to say who he admires the most in this world, it is definitely His Highness, who is planning thousands of miles away, like a god, predicting every step of the opponent.

Even though Zhu Neng had such doubts in his heart, Zhu Qi, the King of Liao, naturally could not notice such doubts.

After all, I have been busy doing business with Hehe Beiyuan recently and have become very busy.

Caravans are arranged to meet the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce every day, and then issue orders to Jin Yiweimen. The most important thing is to clear smuggling activities in the border, prevent private transactions between the people and the grasslands, and prohibit counterfeit banknotes.

In this world, if there are high profits, there must be people who think they are smart to think of it first.

It’s like smuggling and counterfeiting money, these two things have happened since ancient times.

Needless to say, these people will naturally be beheaded after they are caught.

Smuggling and making counterfeit money are all very serious threats to the Ming Dynasty's economic plan, so Zhu Qi naturally focused on taking care of them from the beginning.

Zhu Neng has been in charge of this matter recently, mainly patrolling the border with the Jinyiwei and taking his men to arrest the smugglers.

Recently, the people who lived there caught another group of smugglers from the Central Plains. Their luggage contained all kinds of tea, silk, iron tools, etc.

The reason why they chose to smuggle was because there were too many gold, silver and jewelry given to the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

After all, there are still a few people who are qualified to start a trade, and most people do not believe in the banknotes used in the border trade opened by the Ming Dynasty.

They believe more about the cattle, sheep, horses, etc. they are holding these things to directly exchange things with others.

When Zhu Neng took these people to the nearest military base for trial and interrogation, Zhang Yu also happened to patrol back with his people.

Zhu Neng knew that Zhang Yu was also a smart person. Seeing that Zhang Yu had no doubts about doing business with Beiyuan, he looked very positive, but Zhu Neng couldn't help asking:

"General Zhang, why didn't the Ming Dynasty take advantage of this momentum to settle the Northern Yuan? Instead, they started doing business with the Northern Yuan."

What a smart person Zhang Yu is. When he heard Zhu Neng asks this, he knew that he was confused in his heart. He smiled and said to him:

"Does General Zhu think that my Ming Dynasty is strong and the war in the Northern Yuan Dynasty have been smooth sailing. There is no need to leave the near and far before doing business with them, get along peacefully, and just go out to sweep the army?"

Zhu Neng nodded in agreement. He thought so. As a martial artist who can solve things with his fists, he should not speak out. However, the operation of the Ming Dynasty is really a bit incomprehensible.

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry and soon sat down and spoke in detail to Zhu Neng. He could naturally understand the operation of the Ming Dynasty.

"Since ancient times, there are many people who conquered the north by force, such as the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang during the Tang Dynasty, who are all heroes of civil and military achievements.

They all led a large army to pacify the grassland, and even reached the point of sealing the wolf's servants, but what was the result?

The nomads on this grassland are still like wild grass, appearing in waves in front of our Central Plains dynasty.

And what His Highness of the Liao King is doing now is something that his predecessors have never done before.

If the threat of nomadism in the north can be successfully solved, it will be a one-time and for all generations for future generations, and there will be no need to fight against nomads again."

After Zhang Yu said this, Zhu Neng's eyes lit up. If this was the case, how great would it be?

But is this really possible?

So many heroes of the predecessors could only conquer the north, but it was unlikely to completely occupy or solve the threat of nomadism.

Although Zhu Neng knew that this kind of question was a bit inappropriate, he still asked Zhang Yu.

"I understand what the general said, but this northern grasslander people cannot solve problems by doing business.

There are quite a few people who do business with nomads, right? His Highness the King of Liao and nomads can defeat them by doing business with nomads?"

It is normal for him to have such doubts, and Zhang Yu continued:

"Of course it is impossible to defeat the grassland by doing business.

But you also know that the resources on this grassland are scarce. If border trade can be opened, so that the nomads on the grassland will have a way out, not a few are willing to fight, and there is a big reason for getting this money."

Zhang Yu once had doubts why he had to pay so much attention to tariffs, banknotes and trade with each other.

For this reason, he also specially consulted His Highness the King of Liao. This King of Liao Zhu Qi naturally would not be stingy with telling Zhang Yu about his theory.

After all, he is also a subordinate he trusts very much, and Zhang Yu felt extremely wonderful after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, he could still make money by doing business in this way. He quickly understood that this was a big plan that could control the grassland forever.

At this time, facing Zhu Neng's strange problems, he explained to Zhu Neng what he understood and the economic strategy mentioned by King Zhu Qi of Liao. Zhu Neng could not understand it for a while, and he was not a fool.

When I heard Zhang Yu's explanation, I suddenly realized it. I didn't expect that there would be such a plan. It was so wonderful.

Only His Highness of the King of Liao could have thought that Zhu Neng slapped his thigh and admired His Highness of Liao with a slap.

Since then, I have been patrolling the border every day and have been much more active and diligent.

It is also particularly angry to catch those who smuggle and counterfeit banknotes. Our King of Liao is working day and night for national plans every day.

But for the sake of a little profit in front of you, you are going to destroy His Highness the shocking cause of His Royal Highness Liao. It's really damn.

However, there are not many generals and people who know about this kind of thing. After all, it is a plan arranged by His Highness the King of Liao, and it is not foolproof. If it is discovered at the beginning, it will definitely be remedied.

After the other party noticed it, there would be no way out. If the matter was revealed in advance and the thunder means were used to cut off the Ming Dynasty's banknotes, the effect would not be very great.

After two or three months, border trade has become quite prosperous.

The people from the grassland tribes quickly brought a lot of money back. Since the quantity was increased, the nomads on the grassland were naturally willing to accept the use of Ming Dynasty banknotes for trade.

After seeing this situation, Zhu Qi quickly made a response plan.

I want to try whether my economic theory is useful. The main thing is to take the banknotes to buy some good things from the North Yuan. After Zhu Qi agreed with the merchant, he printed another banknote worth 10,000.

So I asked the caravan to set off with the money.

There were naturally guards along the way, and after hearing about this, Zhu Neng volunteered to act as the guard of this operation.

If you want to see how His Highness the stunning plan of His Royal Highness’s great cause was implemented in detail, you don’t need to mention the excitement in your heart.

The businessman in the caravan was a businessman named He. He had learned a lot of business skills after following His Highness the King of Liao.

Of course, there is no need to mention mathematics. The key is to have a bright mind and know what to do and what not to do.

He is also very business-oriented and is very skilled and recognized by His Royal Highness Liao's theory of using banknotes for resources.

At this time, with His Highness the King of Liao, which was newly issued by His Highness, worth 10,000 gold, we arrived at the place where the border trade with the Northern Yuan Dynasty was launched.

Because I had contacted the caravan in advance, I didn't wait long before I saw someone from Beiyuan coming to meet up.

The main thing is to buy and sell some horses, cattle and sheep, among which the most important one is to buy and sell some horses.

It was originally very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to buy war horses from the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

As a result, it is now easy to use these banknotes to buy war horses.

You should know that these banknotes are not like silver and gold. If you deduct social credibility, they are actually not worth anything.

The most important thing is to print as much as you want. If Zhu Neng didn't see it with his own eyes, he would never have expected that he could use this method to directly purchase these cattle, sheep, war horses and cattle, sheep, and horses from the north with banknotes.

And those people are also very happy, as long as the money is in place, you can give it as much as you want.

After all, it is now very popular to use Ming Dynasty banknotes in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Because they had traded very frequently with the Ming Dynasty, they also knew that using these things, they could buy pots, pans, tea, salt and iron in the Ming Dynasty.

The transaction was soon completed. Zhu Neng looked at the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, holding thousands of war horses, and naturally none of these war horses entered the army.

Do you think this is over?

No, this is just the beginning.

The 10,000 gold bill has now reached the North Yuan.

If nothing unexpected happens, these 10,000 gold bills can be quickly exchanged for commodities of the same value on the Ming Dynasty.

If this is the case, then there would be no practical significance for the Northern Yuan Dynasty to use the Ming Dynasty banknotes.

So the next step is the key point, that is, depreciating the currency.

The meaning is also very simple. Originally, you used 100 yuan banknotes, but after I devalued the currency, you now have to use 200 yuan banknotes to buy them.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty used 10,000 gold banknotes to buy the Northern Yuan war horses, and then devalued the currency.

But the Beiyuan wanted to spend these banknotes, but found that their banknotes were no longer valuable and could only buy about 5,000 taels of gold.

This time, did the Ming Dynasty earn 5,000 taels of gold in vain?

Of course, this is just a theoretical operation, and the specificity cannot be so exaggerated.

But there is no big problem with depreciation of 70% to 80%. The main thing is to ensure the credibility of your own banknotes in the Northern Yuan.

As for what day, what should I do if the Beiyuan side wakes up without the Ming Dynasty’s money?
