Chapter 317 Treaty of Yining
"Hmmm! This king is not an unreasonable person! Since the King of the Plains admits his mistake and is willing to compensate, then everything is easy to say. Zou Yu nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Thank you for your understanding, Xiao Wang will definitely compensate!" Gao Jianwu said with a sigh of relief.
"Okay, how much do you accompany? Is it based on heads? Or is it time? Without waiting for him to be happy, Zou Yu poured cold water on him.
"The small people of Goguryeo are widowed! For a while, I can't get much food..."Hearing what Zou Yu said, Gao Jianwu broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said.
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zou Yu's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "In this way, you don't want to accompany you!" Could it be that he is teasing this king! ”
"Bold!"
"Look for death!"
As soon as Zou Yu said this, Li Jing and the others took the case and stared at Gao Jianwu and shouted angrily.
"No... No... No... Xiao Wang had no such intention. Gao Jianwu hurriedly got up and said.
"And what do you mean?" Zou Yu raised his hand to stop everyone from getting angry, and looked at Gao Jianwu with cold eyes and asked.
Gao Jianwu felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast, and he had already been ready to die generously, but he suddenly disappeared, and said nervously: "Xiao Wang is willing to compensate!" Please set the number. ”
"Then three million times! In the future, millions of dollars per year. Zou Yu said lightly.
"What!" Gao Jianwu exclaimed.
"What? Unwillingly! Zou Yu's face changed.
"It's not that I don't want to! I really can't take that much. Gao Jianwu said bitterly.
"The king of a country, you can't get three million yuan! Are you looking for me to be happy? Zou Yu leaned forward and asked indifferently. There is a posture of doing things if you don't agree with each other.
"Prime Minister is angry, please listen to Xiao Wang's explanation, since the seventh year of the Great Cause, Goguryeo has been in the midst of war, and it has long since exhausted its national strength, and now in the treasury, it can't take out 100,000 guan." Gao Jianwu said ashamedly.
"It's okay, this king doesn't have to be money, gold, silver, jewelry, grain, and cloth are fine." Zou Yu pretended to be generous and said.
As a prime minister, he said asking for money so directly, it is estimated that Zou Yu is also the first, generally speaking, these things must be handed over to the people below to negotiate, and if you don't discuss it a few times, you won't be able to get a result.
Playing cards like this, Gao Jianwu didn't know how to speak for a while, so he opened his mouth and was stunned.
"Think about it, this king works so hard and consumes more than one million dollars and food, not to mention that so many people died in battle, they have to give an explanation to their families! There are so many things delayed, post-war recovery, these only cost you three million, isn't it? Zou Yu raised his palms and said with his fingers.
"Not much!" Gao Jianwu said dejectedly.
As a ruling king, he naturally knows what Zou Yu said, and it really isn't much, but Goguryeo is really poor! Its own national strength has been depleted, and a large amount of land has been lost, and the people, the tax revenue is even lower.
"Lord Wang! Since Goguryeo was so poor, in the opinion of his subordinates, he didn't need them to compensate them, just let it go, wait for Silla Baekje to swallow it, and then let Silla Baekje spit it out. In this way, not only can you get all the land without having to contribute, so why not? Li Jing suggested with his hand.
"Nest!" Being humiliated in front of others was Gao Jianwu's only thought, but Li Jing said what he was most afraid of. If there was no Central Plains side to recognize the status of Goguryeo's vassal state, Silla Baekje would definitely send troops, and even if it could not destroy the country, it would have taken a hard bite.
"Prime Minister can't!" Gao Jianwu's face changed greatly, and he quickly got up and said anxiously.
"Prime Minister, Xiao Wang is willing to compensate, but the three million will not be able to be taken out for a while and a half, please give a month, Xiao Wang will definitely raise it!" Gao Jianwu continued.
"Yes! Since you have surrendered to this king, this king will not let you suffer! I can sell you some of my weapons, and at the same time allow you to use the young and strong to pay off your debts! Zou Yu nodded with satisfaction and said.
Selling weapons to him was to protect his territory from being swallowed by Silla Baekje; The simpler goal of being young and strong is to provoke him to attack Silla Baekje.
Goryeo woman, Silla woman! These two kinds of people in the Central Plains have always had good prices, and the Three Kingdoms have often stolen them, but now it's just one more reason. After all, it is better to use people from other countries than to use your own people, and the robbery itself can also make up for the losses.
Being able to buy weapons must have been an unexpected surprise, and the shame of surrendering all at once seemed to have been alleviated a lot. The annual supply of millions of yuan can be squeezed out by gritting your teeth, and at most the country is more difficult, but without the constraints of the family, the entire Goguryeo is not in its own hands now, even if the land has been reduced by half.
As an aspiring young man, Gao Jianwu believes that this situation will help him to show his strength.
After figuring it out, Gao Jianwu fully agreed to Zou Yu's conditions, and the only request was to sell him more weapons and armor.
Of course, Zou Yu was extremely happy about this, not to mention that there were still many soldiers who had not changed their clothes, but they had come all the way and captured a lot. Zou Yu definitely can't look down on these things, take them back and recast them, the cost is not low, it is better to sell them cost-effectively.
The two sides agreed to take the Yalu River as the boundary and rule across the river, knowing that they could not defeat Zou Yu, Gao Jianwu was very single, and simply withdrew his troops to Pyongyang, and it can be said that there is no guard in Jilin City except for a few hundred soldiers to maintain law and order.
After Gao Jianwu signed the Yining Treaty, he immediately asked people to remove all the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace, and raised a compensation worth 3 million yuan, and then learned from Zou Yu's cleaning of all the large and small families in the country, and made a large amount of food and money.
The money was used to buy weapons, recruit food, train soldiers, mobilize troops to Seoul, and prepare for war very actively. All at once scared Silla Baekje back.
Han Qianxun was reappointed as the governor of the country, guarding the country, Dandong line, as for the Yan tribe, it is no longer a threat, not to mention Qu Tushou, who went to manage Fuyu City.
Yan Lide served as the Taishou of Fushun and supervised the two major mining areas, and was responsible for the construction of the entire Liaodong project.
Although the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula has a cold weather, it has the advantage that there is very little drought, and the land is fertile, which is a good place for grain production.
Now not only under the rule of Zou Yu, it should be said that the whole world is vast and sparsely populated, and a simple family farms the land, except for being able to support their own families, there is not much production. This is also the reason why Zou Yu has always emphasized centralized resettlement and collective labor.
Only by concentrating limited human and material resources and maximizing rational use can we plant the most land and cultivate more finely.
If it is a family, there are certainly not many people who can afford to raise cattle, and if there are no cattle to cultivate the land, you can imagine how much land can be planted.
The people who were centrally resettled were distributed by the government to cultivate oxen, and several families raised them together, which was much easier, and the improved plough and a horse could also pull the plough. Controlling the Khitan and other clans, Zou Yu really has no shortage of horses and cattle!
With a large number of livestock as labor, a large area of land was developed, medium and high grain, piece by piece of land, like a large farm in later generations, piece by piece, neatly and neatly, from a distance, it is a wheat wave, it is really boundless, anyone who sees it, will feel full of hope.
