The moonlight was like a hook... At this time, the people of Yingtian City had already had a curfew, and the entire Yingtian City was in darkness. A carriage slowly left the Yingtian City Gate. Around the carriage were the best guards of the Ming Dynasty and the people from the Duwei Mansion of the Personal Army.

"Haha... I'm so happy today." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma and said, "We finally made a decision to change the herdsmanship prison to Taipu Temple. Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang... The two of them worked together this time and decided to raise horses at the same time.

The people of Yingtian, Luzhou, Zhenjiang, Fengyang, Chu, He and other prefectures were ordered to raise horses in the north of the Yangtze River to feed water and grass, and each household raised one horse; the eleven households in the south of the Yangtze River raised one horse. The officials gave good horses as crops, and three mares were placed in a group. Each hundred horses were arranged in groups, and the group was managed by the deputy group. The mares were taught in the year of the year, and the herds and feeding was not in accordance with the law and the horse was damaged and punished.

This hope can alleviate the shortage of our Ming Dynasty war horses."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will definitely be more war horses in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang joined forces and will definitely be invincible. By the way... Your Majesty... Why don't you resume the tea and horse trade?" Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and asked.

"Tea and horse trade...what is that trade?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Empress Ma laughed: "It is to exchange tea for war horses. It was found in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the friendly and friendly neighborly relationship between the Tang regime and Tubo led to the opening of the ancient Tang and Tubo Road. Later, the Tang and Tubo and Princess Wencheng went to Tibet to bring many products from the Central Plains, which were deeply loved by the Tubo nobles, especially tea. The Tubo nobles, whose diet was mainly carnivorous and cheese, agreed with the effects of tea digestion, relieving greasiness, and relieving the spirit and suppressing sleep. Since then, the tea needs of the Tubo nobles have increased sharply.

Our Ming Dynasty can also imitate the Tang Dynasty and exchange our tea for war horses..."

"This is a good idea, girl, where did you know about the tea and horse trade..." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma.

"Langer told me... The last time in the East Palace, Biaoer talked about it. When you were having a headache about war horses, Langer said why didn't you start the tea-horse trade, and Langer also said that you have taken the first step of tea-horse trade."

"Is that right..." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused: "We have taken the first step in the tea and horse trade. Why don't we know how we went?"

"In order to fill the population loss in Sichuan, you have allowed a large number of immigrants to enter Sichuan... Do you know that because of this, Qiongxia, a place that had already withered, has begun to rejuvenate again. Qiongxia is close to Qiongxia Mountain, with dense rivers and hills, and a mild and pleasant climate. It is very suitable for tea tree planting. It has produced tea since ancient times.

Now because of your Majesty, your saint, the Qiongxia tea and horse trade has emerged unprecedentedly... Many merchants have arrived there and started to tea in Tubo... They have gained a lot!"

"Hiss..." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said, "Why don't we know this? Why didn't the minister tell us?"

"Haha..." Queen Ma sneered: "Your Majesty, do you know the profits of the tea-horse trade. In my Ming Dynasty, twenty kilograms of tea leaves are not made into a hundred ounces, but they can be exchanged for a high-quality horse. As long as the merchant transports the high-quality horse to Yingtian, the high-quality horse can sell hundreds of silver.

What kind of profit is this? Some of the ministers are hooked up with these merchants. Who will hand over such huge profits to the court? Except for our own sons who will tell us this, which minister would be so selfless?"

"It's... Your Majesty." Queen Ma smiled slightly.
