Chapter 669 Cultural Diplomacy That's right, Lin Che nodded, his tone was calm, but with a bit of sharpness, I have discovered that the maritime trade routes have frequently encountered pirates recently, and among these pirates, there is the shadow of the master when the Ming Dynasty disappeared. What is thought-provoking is that all this seems to be related to an unknown trade group. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, he naturally understood the importance of Ming Dynasty trade to Ming Dynasty. Once the trade routes are controlled by others, it will be an invisible economic war for the Ming Dynasty. What is the purpose of this trade group? Zhu Yuanzhang asked, and every word revealed her importance to this matter. Lin Che shook her head lightly, with a bit of coldness in her eyes. They intend to control the trade routes, manipulate prices, affect the regional economy, and ultimately achieve the goal of controlling the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and fruits and vegetables. Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists. How could he tolerate such treason? He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ling Chi's follow-up Hua. However, Your Majesty, although the opponent is somewhat evasive, I already have a countermeasure. Lin Che's voice is low and full of confidence. He continued slowly, "I plan to go out personally, use business against business, and use economic warfare to give their people a blow." Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he resolved it with approval. Lin Che wanted to fight the battlefield with wisdom, and now she took the initiative to volunteer, which is undoubtedly the best choice. Lin Che, how do you plan to act? Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously. He was full of curiosity about Lin Che's plan. Lin Che smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I plan to wait for them to tire themselves out. First, we will secretly collect information about their movements and understand the routes of their merchant ships. Then, we will send out our own merchant ships, loaded with carefully selected goods, and sell them at the hell market price. This will inevitably attract a large number of buyers to come and purchase." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this. This plan is not easy, but once successful, it will disrupt the opponent's deployment in one fell swoop, and it will be able to be Chen Gong, but the risk is also not small, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, as wise as he is, he can naturally see the risks of the plan, but Lin Che smiled lightly, your majesty, every great plan will not be smooth sailing, but please rest assured, your majesty, I have only thorough preparations. In the following days, Lin Che acted like silver. He not only personally led a management team to sneak into the business world and investigate intelligence, but also secretly eliminated merchant ships and carefully planned a business war. Under Lin Che's meticulous layout, the mysterious trade interest group discovered that the trade routes they had controlled for a long time were actually experiencing considerable turbulence, and their sales encountered difficulties. He allowed a large number of low-priced and high-quality goods to appear on the market. In their eyes, the impact on their profits was the same as the announcement, but they tried to find out the manipulator behind all this, only to find that the other party was like a ghost, elusive, and unpredictable. In the normal war without the smoke of gunpowder, Zhu Yuanzhang and Lin Che always maintained close communication and cooperation. Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but listen to the necessary support, and he also provided the back-up of the soldiers for Lin Che's actions in the long pavilion to stabilize the situation. In the end, under a series of exquisite layouts by Lin Che, the mysterious trade interest group held hundreds of positions, their merchant ships were intercepted, crying into backlogs, their financial resources were blocked, and the impact on you was extremely reduced. The trade relations between Daming and neighboring countries became more eternal because of the prosperity of the market. In the capital, a gust of spring breeze blew by, bringing the fragrance of flowers and new news from afar. Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the spacious imperial study, his eyes fixed, in front of him spread out the criminal trade report and the secret report of the state teacher on the trade negotiations. "Lin Che, I have read your report, you did a good job this time," Zhu Yuanzhang said, his voice revealing an imperceptible joy, but the book was also a little confused. But how can you be sure that these international powers will choose to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty instead of taking the opportunity to raise prices and squeeze our use? Lin Che, the national teacher, was wearing a green robe and standing opposite Zhu Yuanzhang. He always had a gentle smile on his face. After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he pondered for a moment and opened it to see. Your Majesty, it is true that these countries have the temptation to increase trade conditions and increase their own interests, but through my careful layout and communication with many countries, we have successfully shifted their attention from the interests at hand to the long-term cooperation. Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and asked, "What? Let me listen to your layout in detail?" Lin Che nodded slightly and began to slowly unlock it. First, I sent Yuyang and Feng Shu, who are proficient in various countries, to visit other countries for friendly visits. At the same time, I can only be the strong national strength of my Ming Dynasty and the sincerity of open cooperation. He paused. , He continued, "What's more, I have formulated differentiated strategies based on the needs of the countries with the same names. I want to show them the unique benefits of cooperating with the Ming Dynasty, which is more impressive than simply improving Jiahe. Zhu Yuanzhang's expression gradually relaxed. Lin Che's strategy had obviously moved his heart. Lin Che said, for example, for some countries, we open up some advanced technology exchanges and contributions, as well as investment opportunities in the territory of my Ming Dynasty. For other countries, we sign long-term food and raw material agreements with them to ensure that they get enough support in difficult times. In this way, they not only see the benefits, but also see the huge advantages of long-term cooperation with the daming." Therefore, they will have a good relationship with the idle and the non-participated, rather than the immediate service. Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile. Lin Che really didn't misjudge you. This time you not only cleverly resolved the conflict, but also further consolidated my Ming Dynasty's international status and reputation. Lin Che smiled, your majesty, you're too kind. These are what I should do. Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, Zhou Cai spread out, looking at the imperial city of the villa, with you here, my country will be more stable.

In that turbulent era, the international relations of the Ming Dynasty were like a sharp arrow hanging overhead, which could fall at any time and bring unpredictable disasters. Although Zhu Yuanzhang loved martial arts, he didn't need to understand that flattening the powerless could not solve all problems. When Lin Che proposed to use cultural diplomacy to improve the relationship in the Yellow River International Speech, he not only supported it, but also coveted high hopes. Lin Che, do you think that through this international exchange event, the current tense situation in the Yellow River can really be resolved? Zhu Yuanzhang said in the palace. He quietly looked at the national teacher in front of him who had always assisted him with wisdom and strategy. (End of this chapter)
