Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

"Then now that you know the truth and my purpose, General Stockton, what are your plans?"

Facing Yuzan's problem this time, Stockton did not hesitate or hesitate anymore, and immediately got up and paid a standard Imperial military salute to Yuzan, and said loudly:

"Follow your Royal Highness's decree!"

Stockton's answer this time was so loud and loud, unlike the helplessness of the previous time before being placed under house arrest, and there was no such kind of reluctance, some just promises.

At this moment Stockton seemed to see that the future empire will be fully revitalized under the leadership of Yuzan. At this moment Stockton recognized that Yuzan would be the master of the empire's revival.

After receiving Stockton's allegiance, Yuzan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, he was not sure whether Stockton would continue to be so stubborn.

"Okay, Stockton, since you have been loyal to me, then I will tell you the truth, this time I will fully open up the commercial trade between the empire and foreign nations. Of course, this thing can only be carried out in secret. , So I need a trustworthy person to manage this!"

Then Yuzan suddenly asked in a condensed voice.

"His Royal Highness? Directly open a full-scale commercial trade relationship with a foreign nation? This, not to mention the consequences that the imperial capital knows about, the Weichen will make the other party stronger after only having commercial trade contacts with the group of barbarians. By the time……"

Even though Stockton had been loyal to Yuzan, the empire thought in his bones had not disappeared, so he asked slightly questioning.

"Hey, Stockton, you are indeed pretty good at leading soldiers to fight, but you do have some administrative qualifications. Although you are a military general, if you can't consider all aspects of things carefully, then you will never be able to enter. The Headquarters served as the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs."

There was also a hint of helplessness in Yuzan's eyes when he looked at Stockton. In Yuzan's eyes, Stockton was too hard-hearted.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

If it were not for Yuzan to use his prestige to fully control the Northern Army, Yuzan would only be a reuse of Stockton, and would not be handed over to him to be responsible for this important matter related to the grassland trade.

"Stockton, don't you think about it? Is there really no commercial trade with foreign peoples on the grassland? For so many years, smuggling illegal trade with foreign peoples for various reasons Is it still less? And how many people’s interests are involved in it, don’t you think about it? Over the years, you can see which year this kind of thing will be completely gone! Instead of letting their guys smuggle and let them Our Northern Legion stands on their opposite side. It is better to work together. This is a win-win situation. As for the benefits you have given to others, those guys in the Imperial Capital will still impeach you or fail? No wonder these years, even though there are always some rumors about you. Will enter the imperial capital to serve, but it has not been possible to implement it once!"

Yuzan looked at Stockton and explained that he hated iron and steel.

And after Yuzan's series of explanations, even though Stockton was also touched by the political significance and the interests contained therein, as a tendon, he could not help but retort:

"His Royal Highness, the minister does not care. If the imperial capital is full of such a scene, then the minister is not willing to go to such a dirty place. I might as well stay in the north, but the minister still cannot accept this trade. We just fought a battle with a foreign nation, and then we went to do this kind of friendly trade with each other. How can the brothers who died in the Northern Legion fight with me? And, the foreign nation’s wolf ambition, they never gave up After the invasion of the empire, how can we resist the next attack of the other side if a large amount of commercial trade has been carried out and all aspects of the other side have developed!"

Hearing that Stockton still had such a bull-tempered temper, Yuzan was also a little annoyed at once, looked at each other coldly, and said slowly:

"Stockton, you are really a pig brain! Originally I wanted to make you think of my plot behind this transaction. You disappointed me too much! This time I want to open this commercial trade for a reason. Yes, as long as a large amount of the empire’s goods are dumped on the grassland, the people on the grassland will never use other goods. This will also cause the empire to have a material monopoly over the other party, and the current life of the grassland people It's not too good. If they can make their lives better, there won't be too many people to support another war. The most important thing is that since we have monopolized their products, then some of their lifeblood will be pinched. My hands!

And, there is another point. You just mentioned your brothers who died in the Northern Legion. Do you see if their pension is really enough to support their children or family? Do you think that a pension can save a family from losing their husband, son, or father?

In fact, you must know Stockton that I can speak the prairie today. The most important reason for doing this is assimilation! Instead of always guarding the prairie people, why not turn them into your own. Although ethnic integration takes time, we can afford to wait for this time, you say! "

"This……"

Stockton was stunned. He really did not expect that Yuzan's business and trade exchanges had such a profound meaning. In the end, he wanted to incorporate the entire grassland into the territory of the empire without seeing the blood. Never before, I dare not think about it. It can even be said that so many generations of emperors before the empire dare not think about it, because the risks involved are too great.

But this risk is not valid for Yuzan. Not only does Yuzan's strength reach level 10 at this time, but he is also far beyond the average level 10 powerhouse. In today's human world, let alone level 10, even level 9. The strong are rare and almost become the existence in the legend, even if the steppe people have infidelity, then Yuzan can also be extinguished with his powerful strength!

"Stockton, do you understand?"

Looking at Stockton in shock, Yuzan said calmly.

"Ah, yes, Weichen, Weichen understands, Weichen will do it now, please don't worry, Your Highness, Weichen will definitely finish this matter!"

...

In the summer of 1008 of the imperial calendar, two invisible decrees with almost the same content were circulated among the northern aliens and the upper echelons of the imperial north. The imperial northern will conduct full-scale trade exchanges with the northern aliens, once a month, respectively. Responsible between the Imperial Northern Legion and the Prairie King Court.
