If you steal yours, kill you, and you have to keep a word of logic, this is the style of doing things in a great country. When Shen Shixing said this, everyone praised it.

It is necessary to make things happen in a great way. How can people in the caravan kill and set fire on the grassland be their business. If they suffer losses, the court will confirm your position first. You are the victims and the court will stand up for you. If "the people are spontaneous, it is a righteous act to retaliate.

In this way, the people and scholars in the world naturally share the same hatred of the enemy. As for what happened on the grassland, who would pay attention to it?

Since ancient times, great powers have always acted like this. No matter how shameless they do, they must always give a high-sounding and righteous reason.

In fact, with such a rule, how could the caravans not know how to do it? This is to encourage them to let go of their hands and feet and set fire, and they also need to explain how to understand it.

At this court meeting, everyone was worried that the Minsheng Group in Guihua City would be good at raising border quarrels, but Wang Tong made a generous speech, but in the end he became a discussion on how to encourage them to mess around on the grassland, which made everyone laugh and cry.

This court discussion was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which was to say that the Ming Dynasty's policies on the northern ethnic groups changed from shrinking and seeking peace to expanding outward, attacking and destroying the country, and the entire Ming Dynasty's external defense also changed from shrinking defense to active attack.

This is a broad meaning. Wang Tong said this just to prevent everyone from having any opinions on the policy of Guihua City. The Ming Dynasty guarded for so long and it was normal to see such a flamboyant behavior, but Wang Tong just dispelled their thoughts, but he didn't think of any too complicated principles.

However, when the court was dispersed, Wang Tongman took a few steps and left behind and reported:

"Your Majesty, now Altan's tribe has destroyed Chahar and Korqin and retreated step by step. The important towns on the nine sides are only set up to defend themselves. It would be a bit inappropriate to spend money there in vain.

After Wang Tong finished speaking, Emperor Wanli immediately fell into deep thought. Zhang Cheng and other eunuchs also changed their faces, and were obviously moved by Wang Tong's words.

There was no reaction at that time, but after Wang Tong returned to the Jinyiwei Commander's Office, the Ministry of Imperial Horse Supervision came to visit him immediately.

The Jinyiwei was only slightly surprised by the visit of the Ministry of Justice, and thought that our Dingbei Hou Temple was really out of the way. After the courtship, the eunuchs from the Imperial Horse Prison came to visit the former ones, either the followers of the cabinet or the followers of the Silijian. When they saw these powerful figures, they would have to kowtow to pay their respects.

The purpose of the visit of the Buddha Yi was very simple. When asked about what Wang Tong said when he was about to scatter the court, Wang Tong's answer was also very simple. Because of the discussion in the court, he had this idea temporarily.

"You said this today. At first, Master Wansui and all the father-in-law thought it was ridiculous. The nine borders, protecting the northern border of the Ming Dynasty was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. What is inappropriate? But when you think about it carefully, it is really like what you said to you. There is no need to set up the four towns in Yulin, Yanjie, Datong, and Taiyuan. Xuanfu can also lay off some troops. I don't know how much it will save, but the border town is abolished, and the matter is very important. Although Master Wansui and all the father-in-law are very moved, you still want to get a general constitution first."

In the important town of Jiubian, the silver in the capital is nearly 4 million taels every year, which is almost the same as the total amount of land taxes today. Including the self-financing of Jiubian, the Ming Dynasty would spend nearly 10 million taels on them every year, which is a huge financial burden.

In the area where the nine sides are located, there should be no slightest neglect in the Ming Dynasty, even if the Ming Dynasty does not provide relief to the victims in the mainland and does not build water conservancy, it should give priority to ensuring the supply of the nine sides.

But since Wang Tong destroyed the Altan tribe and captured Guihua City, the Ming Dynasty suddenly discovered that the so-called northern border transformation was like this paper tiger. Moreover, because the Altan tribe was destroyed, Guihua City broke into the hinterland of the northern border. Five border towns set up in order to prevent the grassland tribes in this direction could be abolished. This can save much money every year and make the Ming Dynasty's finance much easier.

Who had such an idea in the past, that was to destroy the Great Wall, but today Wang Tong said that all forces on the grassland were constantly being weakened and suppressed, and gradually they were about to be eliminated. From the destruction of Altan's tribes to the plunder of the grasslands over the past year, they had nothing to do with these border towns, and were entirely done by group training and village heroes.

The Ming Dynasty spent so much money on the border troops every year, but in the end, it relied on the people who did not spend the imperial court to win the victory. With this calculation, what's the use of your border troops? Even if the troops in the border town have no contributions, they have worked hard, but they can only defend their lives for so many years and cannot explore the outside world. This also means that they are useless, or that the setting itself has problems and needs to be changed. People in the palace, from Emperor Wanli to the father-in-laws in various inner courts, have a certain understanding of Wang Tong, or a superstition, that is, powerful.

Since Wang Tong can bring up this matter, he must have a solution to this matter. Those who can do it work harder. Since this is a great country and even everyone wants to do it, they must send someone to ask.

Wang Tong could only respond with a wry smile when he asked Zou Yi’s question:

"I just started to make a decision and said something to Master Long live."

Both sides looked at each other and laughed. After laughing, Wang Tong said:

"Since Your Majesty and all the father-in-laws are interested in this, Wang also needs to go to visit one or two. There must be a detailed number to hand it over to the palace, and he also needs to ask his father-in-law to go back and report it, saying that this matter is too urgent, and it will take at least half a year to get a charter. After all, the nine sides span thousands of miles.,

Since Wang Tong said this, Buyi had nothing to say. He just chatted for a few words and then gave up with a smile.

……………………

Until the second half of November, Wang Tong's family had all returned to the capital, and no other news came from Guihua City. It was similar to what Wang Tong expected. The Chahar tribe, who suffered losses, might not dare to retaliate greatly. If they really mobilized each other, the Chahar tribe would not have any advantage, and would even be eaten by most other officials.

On November 25th, the heavy snow in the capital was already the second day. If the year was not good, if such heavy snow was over for two days, officials from the capital and neighboring prefectures and counties would be busy, because some people would definitely die of starvation due to the heavy snow. Even if they did not provide any relief, it would be necessary to transport bodies that died of starvation from the cold.

However, there is no such problem this year. The harvest and other things are very good. The grain supply in the capital is sufficient, and there are much less idle people in the capital than in previous years. Under the purge of the Jinyiwei Police Office, the idle poor and idle people in the capital were thrown into the farm north of Tianjin Wei in the name of labor reform, working and eating, which made the capital less worry.

Because there is nothing wrong, all officials and those who like to make fun of each other will express their congratulations, saying, "Auspicious snow indicates good fortune." If you flatter me, please ask for good luck and make Emperor Wanli happy.

Emperor Wanli was also doing good deeds and did not attend court on November 25th. As for what to do, the people outside the palace also knew that Emperor Wanli was enjoying the snow in the West Garden.

It is strange to say that when Empress Dowager Cisheng Li wanted to say that when Concubine Wang Gong was promoted to the throne, Emperor Wanli avoided Concubine Wang Gong and ignored him at all. However, without the intervention of Empress Dowager Cisheng, Emperor Wanli had a better attitude towards the concubine who gave birth to a child for him.

This time when I went to Xiyuan, not only Concubine Zheng, but also Concubine Li De, who also called Concubine Wang Gong. They followed the princes and princesses, which was also a joy of family.

Buyi sent someone to Wang Tong to send news that Emperor Wanli sent Zhao Jinliang to the Marquis of Wuqing to send equipment such as cotton coats and stoves to Empress Dowager Li, and greeted him.

Although the Wuqing Marquis Mansion was tightly blocked, the supply was not less than before, so naturally there would be no shortage of cotton coats and stoves. After all, it was a mother and son of a mess. Emperor Wanli also showed his attitude, proving that he was not so heartless and determined.

Emperor Wanli enjoyed family happiness, and all officials and ministers in the capital were happy to be idle. If you had errands, you would order a job in the yamen and go back early, either at home, or when you gathered with friends to enjoy the snow and drink. In addition, the hot pot that Wang Tong has developed is also a joy in life.

Others are leisurely, but Wang Tong is also leisurely. The ups and downs of the past year have been through the ups and downs. The whole family is still together, and there is no important business, so it is also a rare leisure for him.

Wang Tong also stayed at the Jinyiwei Yamen for an hour before returning home. His wives and concubines gathered together, chatting and joking, and also set up a banquet at noon, enjoying the snow and drinking.

Xiangcheng Bo Mansion hunted outside the city and had a lot of harvest. He specially sent someone to send a few wild squids and a deer. At noon, the chef came to Zhenxing Building to clean up. The half of the wild squids were cut and fried with pickled cucumbers. It was quite delicious. The deer was also half roasted and roasted. Most of the wild squids and deer were sliced, and they were sliced ​​like big fish sent from Tianjin. They were all squids. This way of eating was to be free, and the whole family gathered around the pot, and everyone was happy.

It is rare that there is such a relaxing atmosphere in the Wang family. The women are laughing and cheering, and Wang Tong has a smile on his face. This is also his rare rest and relaxation.

After using wine and food, the family was in the living room in the afternoon. There were pastries carefully made by the chefs, and several people who were familiar with music were playing the piano and singing there, which was even more enjoyable.

"Master, Lord Sun Shoulian from Liao Town is asking for a visit."
