Chapter 213 I'm not afraid that you will repay the debt
Seeing that they were making trouble, Queen Zhou said: "Your Majesty, you can use it for her, it is rare for Kun Xing to be so sensible." ”
This girl wants to earn money for her father, and such a sensible daughter Chongzhen is also helpless.
This is Wang Yue's trick to Princess Kunxing, her handshake is not in vain, and the royal gold signboard must be used.
Perhaps because of the problem of face, neither Chongzhen nor the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have ever mentioned a plaque for any store. If the emperor wants to do business, the royal brand utility is still very valuable, but it is a pity that the Confucian sages imprisoned their business acumen.
Under the operation of Cao Ruyi and Wang Yue, the Royal Toy Store soon opened on the bustling streets of Beijing.
This is the first store in Daming to sell toys, or the royal opened, and the toys are still very novel and special, so the popularity is very hot.
Although the price is expensive, under the crying of the children, parents have paid for it, and with the word royal, the money is also worth it.
Princess Kunxing finally had a source of wealth, with an income of one or twenty thousand taels per month, making her quickly become a little rich woman among the princes and princesses.
Although most of her money was handed over to her father's treasury, Chongzhen was embarrassed to keep all her daughter's money for herself, so Princess Kunxing could balance thousands of taels of silver every month.
Someone with a heart gave a trick to the North Korean envoy Park Jinhui, who was looking for a way everywhere, and begged Xie Baoqing to find Wang Yue, maybe there was a drama.
So Xie Baoqing, who was tempered by the North Korean envoy, came, and it is said that Wang Yue proposed such a condition that North Korea should be attached, and Xie Baoqing also thought that Wang Yue's dispatch of troops to North Korea was estimated to be useless.
"Sihua, how can you ask North Korea to attach such a condition? The emperor was furious about this. If you don't want to send troops, just say it, why let people gossip. Xie Baoqing and Wang Yue are not seen at all, just like the elders complaining about the younger generations after they have foreign appearances.
Wang Yue laughed dryly, looked at Park Jinhui who came with him, and said: "Lao Pu, this is not right for you, I kindly invited you North Korea to join the big family of our country, why do you speak ill of me everywhere?" ”
Park Jinhui waved his hand again and again: "No, no, the minister has no such intention, no such intention!" He really didn't say anything bad, he just cried everywhere.
Wang Yue said: "You see, you have asked for attachment many times in the history of North Korea, and you have also pleaded once during the Wanli period, I am really helping you." ”
Park Jinhui was a little dumbfounded, before the three major expeditions of Wanli, North Korea did ask for the Ming Dynasty to be attached.
At that time, the eight provinces of Korea had been lost, only north of Pyongan Province, near the Liaodong Peninsula and Yiju, had not yet been captured by the Japanese state, and the Wanli court had been debating whether to send troops. North Korea was about to die, and the king of Joseon, Li Hao, planned to organize a government-in-exile to attach the Ming Dynasty, but was rejected by Wanli magnanimity.
Xie Baoqing saw that Wang Yue was still promoting his internal theory, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Sihua, don't talk about this." Do you have any plans to send troops, do you have a charter? ”
He had seen Wang Yue's military strength, and he would not think that Wang Yue was incapable of sending troops like those in the court. After all, there are only a few thousand people, and there are 120,000 Qing troops who have to go on an expedition and win the battle, and anyone thinks that this is an impossible task.
Wang Yue said with a smile: "If the conditions for North Korea are suitable, it is okay to send troops." ”
After the expansion of the Tiance Army, it also needs to be tempered in actual combat, and the stage of North Korea is not bad, and there are many fewer worries about overseas operations. Moreover, the heart of North Korea is oriented to the Ming Dynasty, and the people's hearts are available, which is more advantageous than fighting in Liaodong.
Xie Baoqing asked: "Don't talk about the attached things first, just talk about what other conditions there are." ”
Park Jinhui also looked at Wang Yue with a blank eye, and his expectation was beyond words.
Wang Yue said: "If we want our army to send troops, North Korea needs to pay our army 5 million taels of military expenses, and in addition, North Korea will lease Jeju Island for our army for a long time." In order to facilitate our army's cross-sea campaign, I hope that the imperial court can agree to our army to build ports in Tianjin Dagukou and Weihai and hoard supplies. If these conditions can be agreed, the Tiance Army can send troops. ”
This condition is much smaller than the condition attached to Daming, but it is still strange and scary, Park Jinhui's voice trembled a little: "The small state is poor and widowed, and such a huge amount of silver really can't be raised." ”
Wang Yue beckoned, and the orderly hung a large-scale map of North Korea on the wall, and some places on the map were circled.
Such an accurate and clear map of North Korea made Park Jinhui stunned: "This, this is my map of North Korea, who drew it?" ”
Compared to this map, the map of this era can be called a ghost drawing.
Wang Yue said: "In order to solve the problem that your North Korea cannot afford to pay for our army's military expenses, this official has taken great pains to think of such a solution. As long as you give the official a total of about 500,000 acres of land here, here, and here, the five million taels of silver can be offset against each other. ”
He included more than a dozen large deposits of gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, magnesite, tungsten, etc., including the Maoshan Iron Mine, which were worth trillions of dollars in future generations in terms of reserves.
Park Jinhui's geography is not bad, and this map is very detailed, even the contour line is there, and after asking Ming Wang Yue, I learned that this represents the height of the mountain.
These mineral deposits are basically in the mountainous areas, which are not suitable for the development of agriculture, and the places that Wang Yue wants are really worthless, because they are basically places where birds don't, and it is basically no problem to give them to Wang Yue in exchange for soldiers.
However, Park Jinhui still found it a little difficult, he pointed to the map and said to Wang Yue: "Lord Wang, there is the Yixing Gold Mine in our state here, and the Huishan Copper Mine in our state here, which basically belong to some big families in the DPRK and China. It may take some time and trouble for my king to give you these two places. ”
How did Wang Yue know if anyone had mined these mineral deposits now, but there were many spare places. He changed two more places, and finally reached a consensus with Park Jinhui, after all, they are all barren places. As for the possibility that there may be private small-scale mining in some places, the impact on Wang Yue is not great, and the property rights are in hand, just drive them away.
Wang Yue asked, "Lao Pu, can you do the count by signing?" ”
Park Jinhui patted his chest and said: "Although Lord Wang can rest assured, as an envoy, the minister still has these permissions. The document signed by the two of us, my king must agree. ”
The king of North Korea is in a hurry to go to the wall, and Park Jinhui made this decision in order to save him, which is nothing at all.
Wang Yue nodded, people in this era are still very honest, and speaking is indeed more effective than modern times. He is not afraid that the king of North Korea will repay his debts, and Wang Yue will still be able to ask for debts violently.
