"It seems that this is the only way!" The silly king Zhu Cihuan has been convinced.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it! He, the king, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, Hoshina Masaki, and the following 37,800 samurai (there were originally more than 5,000, but 2,000 died in the Battle of the Flood Valley), all of them were poor and happy!

Before His Royal Highness the Foolish King led his troops south to the Satsuma River Valley, the Yamen of the American Mansion gave him 100,000 taels of silver for "military expenses".

And Yao Daqiao's net worth is also limited, the 2,000 guards who fed Zhu Cihuan and his previous were about to vomit blood, and now it has increased to three thousand, seven or eight hundred, where can he afford to pay for it?

Besides, the cost of moving Zhu Cihuan and the Shimazu family from Satsuma Valley City to Angel City was all paid by Yao Daqiao...... It's hard to move!

Can it be easy for so many people to move around the City of Angels and settle down, including many orphans and widows who have lost their husbands and fathers? Thanks to Boss Yao's money, he bought a lot of daily necessities, production tools and livestock from Peninsula City, and then transported them to Angel City for distribution, so that everyone could barely live in peace.

Therefore, Zhu Cihuan is really embarrassed to let the family break the bank again, and it is estimated that if the fee continues to break the bank, Yao Daqiao will also go bankrupt.

Without Yao Daqiao's money, Zhu Cihuan and his warriors would have become poor people with no income...... If you don't build a vassal country to sell some titles, how will you live in the future?

The City of Angels is so desolate, you have to spend a lot of money to invest in it!

However, Zhu Cihuan, the stupid king, still knows that what he has done these days is a bit big, and he may anger his emperor brother.

So when Yao Daqiao left the City of Angels and went to Ying Tianfu, he gave a lot of advice on the dock.

"Yao Changshi," Zhu Cihuan sighed, "What this king is doing now is always setting a bad example, I am afraid that the Holy Lord will be thunderous and angry....... Fortunately, the saint is a filial son, as long as the emperor and the queen intercede, most of them will forgive the king. So when you arrive at Yingtianfu, you must go to the emperor first, and when you see the queen, tell him, I did so much to be able to repay his old man's 250,000 taels of pension money. ”

Speaking of the 250,000 taels, Zhu Cihuan's tears fell.

He is really in debt now, if he can't build a vassal country and sell his title, I'm afraid he won't be able to pay his father's pension money until he dies.

Yao Daqiao knew that Zhu Cihuan was making a fool again, he was going to build a country, and what money did he have to pay!

So he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the prince...... The Emperor and Empress will definitely speak for you. The Son of Heaven will definitely reward the meritorious deeds, and greatly reward the prince, and it is not a problem to tear the soil and seal the domain. ”

Zhu Cihuan nodded and said, "It would be great if that was the case...... Yao Changshi, if Your Majesty really seals the vassal kingdom to me, you will be the first envoy of the Jinjuan Academy, and the matter of selling the title will be entrusted to you with full authority. You remember, if you get some money, you will first pay back the 250,000 taels of pension money from Taishang. ”

This is really a "good old man", he is about to establish a feudal state, and he has not forgotten to pay back!

"Your Majesty knows," Yao Daqiao said with a smile, "As long as the Son of Heaven seals you, Taishang's pension money will not matter." ”

"There is another matter," Zhu Cihuan said again, "Noji's brothers and sisters are in the hands of the Japanese king's court, and when I am crowned the king of the feudal kingdom, I will touch shoulder to shoulder with the Japanese queen. Let them all come to California to reunite with Mitsuhisa and Naiji. ”

Yao Daqiao nodded again, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty will definitely handle this matter for you." ”

Zhu Cihuan exhaled, reached out and patted Yao Daqiao's shoulder, and said, "Daqiao, this time thanks to you...... If this king's vassal kingdom is sealed, you will be the great hero of this king, and you will be a marquis along with Shimazu Mitsuhisa and Hoshina Masaki, and you will have a fief of a thousand miles! ”

Of course, the vassal kingdom of the foolish king must not only have barons, but also viscounts, earls and marquises, of which the marquis is the largest title under the king.

The title is bigger, and of course there is more land. The baron claims to have ten miles of land, the viscount has fifty miles of land, the earl has two hundred and fifty miles of land, and the marquis has a thousand miles of land - that is, 400,000 acres of land! O big landlord!

Of course, Yao Daqiao, who won the marquis's seal, was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to thank him, but Zhu Cihuan helped him and said with a smile: "This king has today, it is all the credit of you, Zhenghui and Naiji, and if there is this king, there is yours...... This is a sea route of thousands of miles, Brother Daqiao must take care of himself, and in the future, we will be rich and prosperous in this city of angels! ”

When Yao Daqiao heard this, he bowed again, and after straightening up, he wanted to say something more, but someone from a Pacific sailing boat over there had already come to urge.

Now is the wind blowing, it's a good time to set sail!

So Yao Daqiao finally saluted Zhu Cihuan, and then took Takeda Nobuyuki, Hoshina Masayu, Togo Shigeta and other attachés on the sailing ship and embarked on the 10,000-mile sea journey back to Daming. By the time Yao Daqiao returned to the Ming Dynasty after a long absence, the time had reached the spring of the sixteenth year of Hongxing.

The area around Shanghai and Nanjing is still as prosperous as ever, and even the stock market has come out of the shadow of the plunge and has begun to rise again. However, Yao Daqiao no longer cares about the ups and downs of the stock market, he is no longer a rich businessman, but the founder of a vassal country under the Celestial Empire, a dignified marquis of a feudal country, and a marquis with a fief of thousands of miles, which is much more awesome than the marquis of the Ming Dynasty who only has one or two thousand acres of jue land.

After he arrived at Yingtianfu, he took a few accompanying warriors, took Zhu Cihuan's recitals and decrees, and went straight to the yamen of the Ming Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Laoshan, Jiangbei.

It was a great deal that the county king of the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to ask for the feudal state, and the officials of the Reception Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dared to slack off, and immediately reported to the Grand Duke of Shang Shuluo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was sitting in the yamen.

"What? The king of Chongqing wants to ask for a feudal state? ”

Seeing Yao Daqiao, Dagong Luo couldn't believe his ears a little - in fact, Wei Zhongzhong, Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren's secret music had already arrived in Yingtianfu. However, the secret recital was handed over through the channel of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and Zhu Cihong only approved three words "I know" after reading the secret recital, and he didn't discuss it, so Luo Dagong, a cabinet member, didn't know.

"Exactly," Yao Daqiao said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the King of the County has opened up territory on the Xinzhou Continent, and now he has occupied a land of 30,000 miles south of the California Capital, which is enough to establish a feudal state, and he also asked Shang Shu to send the proclamation of His Royal Highness the King of the County to the Son of Heaven." ”

Grand Duke Luo picked up the chapter and looked at it again, and then picked up the decree (actually a letter of introduction) and looked at it - there should be nothing wrong! The person in the reception department has inspected it, and it should not be a forgery......

He had no choice but to say to Yao Daqiao: "Yao Changshi can go to the embassy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to settle down first, and this official will immediately go to face the saint, and the saint should be summoned soon." ”

Yao Daqiao arched his hand with a smile, "Then there is Lao Shangshu." ”

After ordering someone to take Yao Daqiao and others to the pavilion to settle down, Luo Dagong immediately went to see Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, and then the two handed over the book to meet together, and met Zhu Cihong, the son of tomorrow, in the Huangji Hall before dinner that day.

Zhu Cihong was also a little surprised by Zhu Cihuan's request to seal the vassal state - Wei Zhongzhong, Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren's secret recital did not mention the feudal state, but only the fief. Zhu Cihong originally thought that his fifth brother only wanted to be the lord of a feudal town in the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that his ambition was even greater, and he was going to become a vassal directly.

"Okay! I'm going to be the king of a vassal country! Zhu Cihong nodded again and again, "This kid is better than the third and fourth children, and I still underestimate him!" ”

"Your Majesty," Wei Zaode said, "the king of Chongqing is far away on the other side of the ocean, and between the United States and New Spain, and needs to be treated with caution...... You might as well persuade him first and invite him to Luojin for an audience. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Shoufu, do you mean that I want to ambush some sword and axe hands in the Imperial Palace, and wait for the five kings to come and take people directly, right?" ”

Wei Zaode smiled embarrassedly, "Your Majesty Shengming, what the king of Chongqing County has done is indeed unsubordinate. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Grand Duke Luo again, and Grand Duke Luo said: "Your Majesty, the governor of Chongqing County is waiting to see you in Yingtianfu Pavilion, Your Majesty might as well listen to what he has to say." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "It's okay to listen, I will summon him tomorrow after noon." ”
