Feng Yi rushed to see Yang Zhitang with Han Daoming in civilian clothes, thinking about hiding the eyes and ears of those who have a heart, and quietly entered the Shouwang Mansion through the side door after passing through it. And Yang Zhitang never wanted to make a public announcement of this matter at the beginning, so he deliberately arranged for Han Daoming and Feng Yi to meet in the side courtyard in the corner of the palace to talk about things, and did not ask the guests and officials in the palace to accompany him.

Shen Yang came to the door to say things, in order to show that he was above board, he sent someone to hand over the worship post, so that everyone in the palace knew about it, and Yang Zhitang also followed the rules, and led the officials and guests in the palace to welcome Shen Yang, Xue Ruogu, Qin Wen, Zhang Qian and others into the main hall, and only after a few salutes did they enter the main topic.

Therefore, when Liu Chengsi and other internal officials and guests followed Yang Zhitang and accompanied Shen Yang to speak, they did not know that Han Daoming and Feng Yi were in the mansion at this time.

Han Daoming and Feng Yi learned that Shen Yang had brought Xue Ruogu, who had returned to Jinling privately, at this time, and rushed over to see Yang Zhitang after dark, how could they not guess Shen Yang's intention?

Of course, Shen Yang came to the door, and Han Daoming and Feng Yi had nothing to worry about.

The matter of the marriage contract is indeed the rumor spread by them, but while spreading this rumor, they also deliberately mislead the people of the market to mistakenly think that this rumor came from the Shouwang Mansion.

To put it bluntly, in addition to paving the way for Han Qian and Wang Jun's marriage, they also used this matter to test Yang Zhitang's attitude, and test whether Wang Yang Yuanyan had secretly connected with Yang Zhitang before.

It was precisely after the latter two points were confirmed that Feng Yi rushed to Shouwang's Mansion with Han Daoming today to find Yang Zhitang for a showdown, that is, to ask Yang Zhitang to come forward as the person who said that he would be the one to ensure that the relationship and interests of the three parties could be closer and more directly tied together in the future.

Since Han Daoming made this clear, Yang Zhitang had nothing to twist and pinch and said: "The daughter of the Marquis of Qianyang and Duke Wen Qian also went through several twists and turns before they achieved positive results, this king can accomplish beautiful things, how can he refuse?" In addition to this matter, this king still has something to discuss with Han Shangshu and Lord Feng, let's go to the front hall to sit down and talk? ”

"Lord Wang, please first." Han Daoming stretched out his hand and asked Yang Zhitang to go first.

Han Qian wants to achieve a positive result with Wang Jun, and he still needs "three books and six rites", but in the eyes of the princes and ministers of the court, once the matter of Shouwang Yang Zhitang wanting to go to Yangzhou to propose marriage on behalf of Han Qian was made public, it represented the tripartite reconciliation of Tangyi, Huaidong, and Shouwangfu.

Therefore, there are some substantive matters that can be directly discussed at this time.

Whether it is the supply of military materials and grain in Huaidong, or the strengthening of coastal defenses and the resistance of the Liang army, etc., they cannot be delayed any longer.

At present, the goals of Huaidong and Shouwangfu are very clear, Huaidong has been borrowed by Tangyi to borrow nearly 200,000 yuan of money and grain, which can only delay the crisis for one or two months, and more money and grain reinforcements are needed in the future, until the defense line and reclamation system on the south bank of the Huai River are restored.

At present, the Huaidong side is asking for the import of 1 million stone grains every year, which will be maintained for at least three years.

Whether it is Tangyi or Shouwangfu, it is impossible for Huaidong to put forward any conditions, and this side will cooperate and satisfy them without restrictions.

Han Daoming and Feng Yi sat down with Yang Zhitang and the officials of the palace into the Lingyun Pavilion in the main hall of the palace, and the first thing to discuss was this issue.

"His Royal Highness King Xin's lion opened his mouth widely, even if Shen Yang and the others don't get in the way, the imperial court can't squeeze out too much money and food, so we can only find another way to relieve Huaidong's distress. In my opinion, all parties can raise 300,000 stone of grain every year, and it is already the limit to make up two years in a row. Han Daoming went straight to the point and said.

Don't say that no one in Huaidong is here, at present, they are just discussing this matter with the Shouwang Mansion, even if Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, is here, Han Daoming will say this directly.

Besides, the conditions they proposed, Huaidong and Shouwangfu will inevitably do everything possible to restrict them.

Otherwise, Han Qian hoped to move the two or three hundred thousand disaster victims from the two cities of Yangtai into Tangyi for resettlement, and Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, would not hesitate to agree?

Yang Zhitang knew that the amount and scale of the money and grain supporting Huaidong would naturally have to be pressed down, and they could not be completely satisfied, and they could not be unrestrained by Huaidong.

Otherwise, Huaidong may sell them all at any time.

However, even if only an additional 300,000 stone grains are provided every year, it is still a few days for the overstretched imperial court at this time, not to mention that Shen Yang and others will obstruct it.

Yang Zhitang also nodded in agreement with Han Daoming's words, and at the same time said: "The question is where can we get all this money and food every year?" ”

Shouwangfu is currently rich and surplus with food, but if the follow-up Right Dragon Martial Army wants to reduce the resistance as much as possible, or even simply bypass the obstruction of Shen Yang and others, and successfully compile a new naval army, the best way is to raise military funds and grain by itself in advance.

In this way, the so-called surplus money and food of Shouwangfu is not enough.

The new naval army is not only limited to the supply of food and clothing for the generals, but also the equipment of quite elite warships, the construction of naval battalions and docks, and the recruitment of craftsmen to build at least a ship repair yard, which requires a greater amount of money and food.

"My Han family can barely scrape together an extra million yuan, as for how to use it, I have to discuss with the prince." Han Daoming pondered for a while, and said.

"......" Don't talk about Yang Zhitang, Liu Chengsi and other palace officials were also shocked.

At present, the Privy Council and the Degree Support Envoy allocate a large amount of money and grain to Tangyi every month, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Han Qian's monthly consumption in Tangyi is much higher than this.

At this time, the Han family sold their fields and houses in Xuanshe and other places.

The princes and ministers of the court all believed that in addition to the meritorious management of Xuzhou by Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son, Tangyi's large amount of money and grain consumption at this time was mainly supplied by the Han family.

Unexpectedly, in this case, the Han family would be able to raise an additional million dollars and grain.

Of course, shock is shock, but they didn't expect Han Daoming to lie.

After all, in the Imperial Mausoleum case back then, if the Feng clan's property was confiscated, it would cost more than 5 million yuan of money and grain.

In addition, it is said that the Linjiang County Prince's Mansion at that time also confiscated millions of additional treasures and goods for the preparation of the war to cut the feudal domain.

In addition to hundreds of thousands of acres of farmlands and thousands of slaves and maids, the Han family mined copper mines and cast bronze ware in Xuanzhou in the early years, which is a well-known thing.

In addition to being shocked, Yang Zhitang and the officials under his command were more concerned about the extra money and grain that the Han family took out this time, and whether they could share part of it from it, instead of using it to support Huaidong.

No matter how bad it is, they also hope to borrow more than 100 large and small warships on credit from Xuzhou to solve the problem of warships of the newly organized naval army.

The warships built in Xuzhou also require costs.

It is necessary to purchase ironwood raw materials, and it is necessary to pay the wages of craftsmen, and a 2,000-stone carriage of oars needs to pay tens of thousands of yuan before it is built, and the external price is nearly 30,000 yuan.

Other smaller wingboats and rowboats are cheaper.

The newly formed navy under the Youlong Wu Army, which can fight in the deep waters of the Yangtze River and the coastal seas, needs three oars and sailing ships, as well as correspondingly, more than 100 large wing ships, ship ships, sentinel boats, red horse boats, etc., and the cost alone needs 1560,000 yuan, and the price of Xuzhou is 300,000 yuan, which is quite conscientious.

At the same price, buying a ship from a shipyard controlled by the Jiangdong family will definitely not be able to build a more elite and stronger warship.

In addition, it is necessary to build a naval camp, a dock port, and a ship repair yard, and recruit an additional 2,000 soldiers and 2,000 sailors in addition to the military government of the Zhutun camp, and allocate armor and settlement money.

As long as the new naval army is initially large-scale, it is equivalent to raw rice cooked into mature rice, so Yang Zhitang has to find a way to ask the imperial court to pay the follow-up military salaries; Even if the imperial court can't come up with it, he has a way to ask the local government to donate military funds, but he doesn't have to worry too much about this matter.

Speaking of which, everything is still difficult at the beginning.

Therefore, the most basic thing is that the Shouwang Mansion must use Xuzhou to get these warships in the form of borrowing and borrowing, otherwise everything will be fake.

The request of Shouwangfu is not excessive, Han Daoming and Feng Yi also agreed on behalf of the Han family and Xuzhou, but as a loan, they need to be mortgaged, and they need to calculate the money interest.

The interest rate is very simple, and the interest rate of private loans in the world is unimaginably high, and the Han family only needs two out of ten, which can already be said to be quite sincere.

The loan period is three years, and after the delivery of these warships, it means that after three years, the Shouwang Mansion will have to return the Han family's 480,000 yuan with interest.

The naval camp and ship repair yard of the Youlongwu Army needed to be built on Aoshan Island in the middle of the Yangtze River between Gyeonggi, Tangyi, Yangzhou, and Runzhou as collateral for this loan.

Three years later, the Shouwang Mansion could not repay the borrowed money with interest, including the naval camp and the ship repair yard, and Aoshan Island had to be promised to Tangyi.

At that time, the Tangyi soldiers will also unceremoniously send troops to Aoshan Island......
