Chapter 30 Yanbian Horse Market
In the early Ming Dynasty, there were frequent wars and a shortage of horses. During the Hongwu period, Ming Taizu sent envoys to set up mutual markets in various places in the frontier.Because the Mongols mostly traded with horses, it was called the Horse Market.

In March of the fourth year of Yongle, a horse market was established in Quhuantun, east of Kaiyuan City, and Tieshan, Guangning City.Set up horse market officials respectively, who are in charge of buying Wuliangha and Jurchen's horses.After that, the horse market will be opened almost two or three times a year.In Mongolia, camel and horse fur were exchanged for daily necessities, but the imperial court explicitly prohibited the trading of copper, iron, and weapons.

Only after the "Civil Castle Change", the horse market was banned.

Because of the horse market, Yingzong personally conquered the horse market, but was defeated and taken into captivity. At that time, he was also powerful, and the Ming Dynasty was forced to open a horse market.Later, he died first, and Daming no longer opened a horse market from then on.

Until the fifth year of Jiajing, Tumed under the leadership of Altan Khan rose in the ancient Fengzhou River, and coincided with the rebellion of Cenmeng in Tianzhou. One part of the Tatars attacked Taozhou, and the other part attacked Datong and Xuanfu.Li Fuda and others first spread Maitreya teaching in Gansu, Luochuan and other places.Emperor Jiajing, who had just calmed down the great ceremony, was working on rectifying his internal affairs, so he compromised and opened a one-year horse market.

In that year, Emperor Jiaqing vigorously reformed the internal affairs, banned the feeding of eagles and insects, changed the salt law in Lianghuai, changed the land return in the Mang tribe, and banned severe punishment.All kinds of wise and kind deeds have greatly inspired people's hearts.In the second year, Emperor Jiajing canceled the horse market again, and it has been up to now.

Now that Lu Bing heard Sun Quan mentioning the horse market, he had already vaguely felt that there might be a shocking secret behind it, and this secret might become the final judgment of success or failure.

After Lu Bing sat down, Sun Quan began to talk about how to know the whole story of the horse market.

Sun Quandao: "Before I came out to venture into the rivers and lakes, I heard Jiayue accidentally mentioning the Yanbian horse market. Although I knew that the horse market was forbidden, I didn't pay much attention to it. But the day before yesterday, the two of us went to intercept the adult from escaping. Afterwards, I went back to report the next night, but I overheard Zhang Mo and Li Lisan talking about how Chen Hong decided to get rid of us, and about the Yanbian horse market. Fortunately, my husband and I are both good at lightness kung fu, so I have the opportunity to come to the adults Serve with your subordinates."

Lu Bing thought for a while, grasped a key point and asked, "Why did your father-in-law mention the horse market?"

Sun Quan hesitated for a while, and then said, "This."

Lu Bing snorted coldly: "Don't make it up, just think it over."

Sun Quan shouted and dared not say: "My father-in-law... used to know Li Fuda..."

"Li Fuda." Lu Bing recalled, and suddenly realized: "Oh, Li Fuda of the Maitreya Sect, hehe, it is not surprising to know Li Fuda based on your father-in-law's way back then. Many of the so-called rebels back then were from the White Lotus Sect. Instigated, even directly led, the Maitreya Sect is an important branch of the White Lotus Sect... But I didn't expect that your father-in-law is still related to the White Lotus Sect.

Sun Quan was shocked and said: "My lord, my lord has misunderstood. Jia Yue has withdrawn from the arena for many years, but back then he generously donated money and was kind to those people, so those people will come to him..."

Lu Bing interrupted impatiently: "Speaking of the horse market, don't talk about irrelevant nonsense."

Sun Quan shrank his head and said: "When those people came to the villain's house and wanted to invite my father-in-law to come out of the mountain, they mentioned the Yanbian horse market. My family asked my father-in-law to come out of the mountain. Although my father-in-law refused, he had never been so strict. He also said that there is a way to steal, and you can't betray the country, so I can still remember this incident.

Lu Bing nodded and said: "It seems that after all these years, Huang Duxian has not dishonored his reputation as a knight-errant."

Seeing that Lu Bing's expression was normal, Sun Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "When I went back that day, the villain heard that after Zhang Mo and Li Lisan discussed killing us, he mentioned that Chen Hong sent Zhang Mo to Yanbian to take care of the horse market. At that time, Li Lisan was still envious of Zhang Mo's horse market, which was rich in oil and water. The villain knew that the horse market had been banned for many years, so the horse market they said must be a black market! Recall that his father-in-law once mentioned that some big business groups in Ming Dynasty smuggled to the north The villain immediately realized that what he should not have heard. My husband and I also heard Zhang Mo and Li Lisan talk about the adults, saying that even the governor of the East Factory should be in awe, and that the adults and the current emperor are all in awe. My husband and I want to come here, Zhuomashi betrayed Daming, betrayed Daming, betrayed the emperor, the relationship between your lord and the emperor is so close, you must be the emperor's person. If you think about it this way, the whole capital will only dare to protect me Two-one-two, I came here in a hurry."

Lu Bing started knocking on the handrail again, he already understood.This horse market is a black market, or a long-term horse market jointly established by Dongchang and a large private consortium.The problem now is to find out whether the emperor knows about this matter!If the emperor also has a share in the middle, then it cannot be mentioned, if the emperor does not know.Hmph, how lucrative this horse market is, I can imagine it, not to mention. .Smuggling is also called capital enemy!It is treason!
Thinking of this, Lu Bing immediately ordered: Prepare the horse!I want to enter the palace! "After speaking, he immediately got up and left.

Lu Bing ordered the complete horse to leave immediately.

Seeing the situation, Sun Quan immediately panicked, and hurriedly asked Lu Bing, "My lord, my lord! Then the two of us?"

Lu Bing patted Sun Quan on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Boy, you have done a great job! Maybe I will go back to your home with you, and I will personally visit Huang Duxian and Huang Feier! Invite him to Beijing!"

After speaking, Lu Bing said to Zhu Liu: "You take the two of you to live at my house, and I'll come back to have a drink together at night!"

After Lu Bing finished his orders, he immediately left the Qianhu Office and went to the palace.

When Lu Bing arrived at the palace, it was almost evening. He calculated the time and felt that Emperor Jiajing's meditation should be over, so he hurried to Qianqing Palace.

When they arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, they saw Feng Bao and other young eunuchs standing on both sides of the gate. With their heads lowered, they vaguely heard the sharp roar of Emperor Jiajing in the palace.

Lu Bing scanned around but did not find Huang Jin, so he asked Feng Bao, "What's wrong with the emperor?"

Feng Bao looked left and right, and the other young eunuchs moved away automatically, and then said to Lu Bing: "The military situation in the North... is not good."

After Feng Bao finished speaking, he stopped talking.

It is a capital offense for the eunuch to tell the foreign officials about the affairs of the palace.The emperor would think that the foreign officials set up an eyeliner in the palace, so Feng Bao's mention of this point already has a lot to do with Lu Bing's face.

But this is also because Lu Bing is deeply loved by the holy family, otherwise, even if Feng Bao was killed, he wouldn't dare to say anything.

After listening to Feng Bao's reminder, Lu Bing already understood what was going on, and thought: "This is really sleepy and give me a pillow."

Thinking about it, Lu Bing walked towards the palace gate. When he reached the gate of the palace, he already had some concerns in his heart.
