Chapter 497: Are there mines on the grassland? This is a very real problem. In history, many barbarians took refuge in the Central Plains. When there is a war, it can be said to be a rare loyal dog. But when the horse is released to Nanshan, these guys who have lost their way up will show their fangs to their master. Because of these barbarians, they followed the imperial army in conquests south and north for many years. Their military qualities were vastly different from those of their fellow tribesmen who were killed by them. Even the elite of the Central Plains Dynasty would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with these rebellious barbarians. Lin Che picked up a skewer of mutton skewers that was not too hot and tasted it slowly. Then he looked at Zhu Xi and asked, "Are you still awake?" "Have you forgotten that outside of China, there are countless barbarian countries?" "As long as we continue fighting along the same lines as the Mongols, the barbarians who surrendered to our Ming Dynasty will not have any rebellious intentions for at least a hundred years."

Zhu Ping was also a fan of the authorities. He only thought about solving the grassland problem, but forgot to expand outside. By the way, relieving the survival pressure of the grassland barbarians is the best way to make these barbarians surrender. Upon hearing this, Zhu Bai raised a question: "Sir, I heard that the land in Mobei is still extremely bitter and cold." "The lands outside of it are probably all barbaric places suitable for barbarians to survive. I'm afraid it would be useless for Ming to come, right?" It’s also strange that Zhu Bai didn’t listen to Lin Che’s previous courses. I don’t know the real situation of the world outside the Ming Dynasty. And based on the impression of the world today, he naturally believed that all areas outside Kyushu were bad places unsuitable for survival. Without waiting for Lin Che to explain, Zhu Xi gave Zhu Bai a headache. He snorted and said, "Shut your mouth if you don't know anything." After Zhu Fang had finished lecturing Zhu Bai, who dared to be angry but dared not speak out, he asked Lin Che for advice: "Sir, you asked me to let my army of the Ming Dynasty lead the grassland barbarians to open up the land." "Is it possible that they want to entrust some vassal kings in these newly opened lands and let them become the first line of defense against the barbarians?" Zhu Chong still clearly remembered that Lin Che had proposed a strategy to help the Ming Dynasty defend its overseas colonies. Now overseas has become a place further north than Mobei, and it has also quickly turned this corner. Lin Che nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the Ming Dynasty continues to expand outwards, and then surround the entire Mobei with vassal states." "In a few years, this grassland will completely turn into states and counties that are actually controlled by my Ming Dynasty." "And the continuous foreign wars can bring all the restless factors on the grassland into the pioneering army." "As long as they receive military merit and the benefits of promotion, they will automatically become supporters of the Ming Dynasty system." …… Chamber of Secrets.

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and laughed: "Using vassal states to surround the grassland? It's really a brilliant plan!" Unlike the Zhu Fang brothers who have little war experience. Zhu Yuanzhang after Lin Che revealed his serial plan against the grassland barbarians. It has been determined that if this strategy is implemented, the Ming Dynasty will have at least a 70% chance of completely solving the grassland troubles. It can also expand tens of thousands of miles, reaching or even surpassing the territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "After the Japanese Kingdom is destroyed, the master of the grassland will change from the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty." After listening to Lin Che's strategy, Fu Youwen made a judgment that he thought was reasonable. After all, the Ming Dynasty's army is now at its strongest combat effectiveness. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't make any stupid moves when fighting, it is basically difficult to lose the battle. After winning the battle, Ming followed Lin Che's plan to build a canning factory on the grassland, and then used this as a starting point to win over the hearts of the grassland tribes. Then lead them to conquer the remaining disobedient people. Then continue to explore outside. It is a certainty that the entire grassland will become the territory of Ming Dynasty. And when Zhu Yuanzhang and Fu Youwen were sighing at Lin Che's shocking plan. At some point, Tang He stood up from the chair and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, what is that can?" Zhu Biao, who had just finished taking notes, took the initiative to explain to Tang He under the sign of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes: "Canning is a means of sealing cooked or pickled food for long-term storage." "Currently, our country already has a sugar factory and a canning factory." When Tang He heard Zhu Biao's explanation, he suddenly remembered that he had seen a warship converted into a fishing boat along the coast when he returned. However, he did not mention this, but asked out of nowhere: "Your Highness, what is this?" Could it be that Mr. Lin also invented the can?” As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was talking to Fu Youwen about how much food would be needed to implement Lin Che's plan, couldn't help but glance at Tang He in surprise. He also joked: "Dingchen, you went on a mission to Nanyang. Could it be that you met a god? You can actually calculate that the canned food was also made by Mr. Lin?" It's not that Tang He has the ability to predict the future, but that since he set foot on Yingtian Pier today, he has already received many shocks originating from Lin Che. Therefore, whenever Tang He encounters something new, he can't help but think of the source of sword energy in Lin Che. And after Zhu Yuanzhang got a definite answer. Tang He no longer knew what to say. After all, it didn't matter that Lin Che knew how to make drugs and the military. He even knows how to can, a way to extend the shelf life of food! You know, in today's era of low productivity, what you eat is very precious. It can transform easily perishable food into something that can be stored for a long time. This can already be called an act of a saint. Tang He didn't know for a moment which immortal Lin Che was reincarnated.

Because in his impression, there are indeed many great immortals who can accomplish these feats. But there is no such almighty being as Lin Che. …… The mansion next door. Lin Che finished eating the grilled mutton skewers and tenderloin, and held the wine that Zhu Cang poured for him. He took a sip and then said, "By the way, Mobei is not all grassland suitable only for grazing." "Further north in the Qilian Mountains, there is a world-class iron mine, and there is also a lot of high-quality coal." Zhu Xi, who was drinking, almost spat out his words when he heard this. He widened his eyes and asked Lin Che for confirmation: "Sir, you are not looking for fun with us, are you?" "If there are such large coal mines and iron mines on the grassland, how could those remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty try their best to buy ironware from our Ming Dynasty?" You must know that it is because "everyone in the world misses me Dayuan". Many gentry living close to the grasslands sold various iron products to the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Of course, they naturally made a lot of money. No matter how high the price is, the Beiyuan Royal Court will bite the bullet and buy these ironware every time. Otherwise, when all the iron weapons they took from the Central Plains were rusted and worn out, those remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would have no choice but to use bone arrowheads and bone sticks to meet the blades of the Ming soldiers.
