For such kind-hearted persuasion, Ye Chunqiu had no choice but to go back to study the book and try his best to explain his motives.

The problem of the Hulu lies essentially in the mobility of its cavalry, and no matter what the Han army takes, it cannot achieve such mobility.

Over the years, there was only one dynasty that could truly win the battle with the barbarians, that was Emperor Wu of Han who believed that the enemy could go and that I could go.

What measures did Emperor Wu of Han take?

Raise horses!

That’s right, build the cavalry of the Han Dynasty!

In order to form a cavalry, what Emperor Wu of Han did was to stipulate that people raise horses and feed war horses in the form of corvee, so as to form elite cavalry, and then use the methods that the barbarians are best at attacking them.

However, this approach is too labor-intensive. If the barbarians raise horses, the pasture is a ready-made resource. However, if they want to raise horses in the pass, someone needs special care and feed them.

It can be said that raising a horse is more difficult than raising a person. If you raise hundreds of thousands of horses, the financial resources within the pass will never be accepted.

When Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, the national treasury was full, but in his later years, the national strength of the Han Dynasty was empty due to the battle against the barbarians and the population also decreased dramatically.

In his reply, Ye Chunqiu talked roughly about his own ideas. To fight the barbarians, the most effective way in the world is the method of Emperor Wu of Han. You are fast, I am faster than you, you have strong mobility, and I am stronger than you, your children are born to be skilled in warriors and knights, so I must do it, and have a large population that can be summoned at any time and can fight at any time.

Only in this way can the dangers of the barbarians be eliminated forever.

Since this is the case, the Han people must try it. Although there were many such attempts in the past and most of them failed, this time, Zhenguo Mansion was willing to devote all its efforts to form a new system.

What's more, the world is so great that it is not just a desert, but the Ming Dynasty is just a part of the area.

Of course, Ye Chunqiu gave what he really wanted to say to Zhu Houzhao in the form of a memorial. Ye Chunqiu said his thoughts without any concealment. Farming had already made the Ming Dynasty limited to the inner city, but there were countless children of the Ming Dynasty. Just relying on the two capitals and thirteen provinces within the inner city, they would eventually fall into a cycle of changing dynasties within three hundred years.

The fundamental reason is that when a dynasty was first established, the population decreased sharply after war and chaos, so the new dynasty settled down and began to recuperate. Soon, due to stability, the people reclaimed a large amount of fertile land, and the population began to grow and the land was used more.

However, after several generations of prosperity, the land available for reclaiming has decreased, but the population has increased.

At this time, the court had already begun to experience many crises. If it could not be improved, in the end, it would be overcrowded and the land could no longer bear the huge population. Finally, a natural disaster came and countless hunger appeared. The end of the dynasty began. Rebellion occurred. In order to quell the rebellion of the hungry people, the court had to use the money and food for disaster relief as military supplies. As a result, even if the rebellion was pacified, the hunger could not be alleviated. In the end, a greater rebellion occurred, and eventually the entire dynasty was completely buried.

The only way to break this cycle is no longer to rely on wise rulers and so-called benevolent government to solve the problem, because even a benevolent ruler cannot become a land or a person.

Ye Chunqiu painted a broad prospect for Zhu Houzhao. In addition to the necessary maritime trade, the Ming Dynasty must have a vassal composed of herdsmen.

Ye Chunqiu specially wrote a book called "Tsarist Russia". At this time, Tsarist Russia was just a small Duchy of Moscow, but Ye Chunqiu created a powerful Tsarist Russia out of nothing to sum up their experience.

"Tsarist Russia was originally a Slav, and its country was mainly farming. Since then, due to insufficient land, a large number of refugees had to gather people to defect to the broad grassland and make a nomadic life. He called the Cossacks. The Cossacks were of the same race and origin as the Russians, and their bloodlines were connected. Soon, the Cossacks were loyal to the Tsarist Russian emperor. The Tsarist Russian emperor gave them special grace and ordered them to fight everywhere. The Cossacks came and went like the wind, and because they grazed for a living, they were brave and good at fighting, especially good at archery and horses, and made great contributions to the Russians."

"My brother thinks that if the Han people do not go to the desert to herd horses, the barbarians will continue to grow their strength with the vast pastures. Now Batumonk has 300,000 armors to unify Mongolia. If the imperial court only relies on the defense of the passive gates and is passive everywhere, it is afraid that they will be controlled sooner or later. Instead of this, it is better to follow Tsarist Russia and establish a dual system. The farming law is issued within the gates, and it is attached to industry and commerce, while outside the gates, the pastoral law is issued to grazing.

As the foundation, the sea trade in Qinhuangdao was supplemented. The Han Han shepherds opened up the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and the Han farmers farmed for the land that opened up the territory. The farmers were shields and the herdsmen were swords. Your Majesty led the shield and held the sword in his hand. Why worry about the king's business not going forward? Today, my brother is outside the pass, and takes the new army as the foundation to attract the herdsmen to assist in the development. Once the Tatars were defeated, he could quickly occupy the entire desert, and then use this as a springboard to continuously explore the extreme east and the extreme west..."

This memorial roughly expressed Ye Chunqiu’s thoughts.

It is too difficult to correct the stubborn problems within the pass. Since this is the case, then the internal problems should be solved outside. Zhenguo Mansion's future plan is to do this in this direction.

This Cossacks can bring tens of millions of square kilometers of land to Tsarist Russia, so the Han people outside the pass can still try it.

The memorial was sent to the Forbidden City and was first sent to the cabinet.

At this time, the capital had entered early summer. In the hot summer, the cabinet was cool.

When Li Dongyang read Ye Chunqiu's memorial, he immediately showed a look of frowning. He pondered for a while, and finally called the clerk to call all the Grand Secretary.

Since Liu Jian retired, there has been little change in the cabinet. In addition to Yang Tinghe who has recently entered the cabinet, as usual, there are three familiar faces: Li, Xie and Wang.

Li Dongyang first smiled and said to Wang Hua: "Who is the prince? Ling Xun is really a demon king in the world. It seems that he will be in peace after the interaction."

Wang Hua looked at Li Dongyang in surprise and said, "What, is there something wrong outside the pass?"

Li Dongyang smiled again and showed the memorial to Wang Hua.

Wang Hua looked at the smiles on Li Dongyang's lips and felt very strange, then picked up the memorial and looked at it.

What are the Tsarist Russia, Cossacks, the dual system, and the deep eyebrows. Obviously, many of the contents in this memorial were difficult for him to digest.

After a while of silence, he had to say: "The actions of the Spring and Autumn Period have always been unpredictable to gods and ghosts, and this memorial is very fresh."
