Chapter 243: Give me some sweet dates
Chen Di didn't bother with King Jin. He turned his head www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" and asked the acting king: "Has the acting king been living in Taiyuan for more than a year?" β
When the acting king heard Chen Di suddenly ask about this, his heart sank. You must know that according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is a great crime for the vassal king to go out of the domain without a will!
Chen Di saw that the acting king had changed color, and knew that he was scared, so he comforted the acting king: "Lord, don't worry, I don't mean anything else." You're in Datongwei's domain because of the war disaster in the past few years, I'm afraid you won't get any tribute, right? β
Seeing that Chen Di did not embarrass himself, the acting king breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Who's to say it's not, the Governor. The Tatars repeatedly invaded the country, and the people who cultivated the fields for me were either killed by the Tatars or scattered for their lives. Tens of thousands of acres of fields have been abandoned! The king replied.
Chen Di said: "Altan Khan led 40,000 troops to surrender to my Ming Dynasty. I promised Altan Khan that I would properly settle these Tatars! Well, how about I give the prince 2,000 Tatars to cultivate the domain for you? β
The acting king had long been frightened by the Tatars. "What? Tatars? Cultivating the domain for the king? No, not the Metropolitan Governor! These Tatars are inherently wild. If you make trouble in my domainγγγγγ β
Chen Di waved his hand: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, these Tatars will never dare to make trouble in the territory of the Ming Kingdom!" There are two reasons, one is that the Tatars are good at riding and shooting, and without horses, bows and arrows, they have no threat! Second, they have no horses, bows and arrows, but my Flying Tiger Army has tiger might! β
Chen Di wants to give the king a sweet date first, and then implement the new policy of paying taxes as a whole for the vassal king, and give the king a shot! He took the initiative to allocate 2,000 Tatars to replace the king in cultivating the domain, killing two birds with one stone. The first is to let the king get some sweetness, and the second is to settle the next part of the Tatars.
The acting king was still a little worried: "This γγγγγ The Flying Tiger Army is in Datong at the moment, and the Tatars do not dare to make trouble. What if the Flying Tigers are gone? β
Chen Di looked back at Altan Khan, who was a hundred steps away, and whispered to the acting king: "Don't forget, Lord Wang, Altan Khan is holding it in my hand!" This Altan Khan's name is Feng Gong, but in fact he is a hostage! These Tatars were very loyal to Altan Khan, and held him in the palm of their hands, and the Tatars would never dare to have two hearts. Two thousand Tatar cultivators, you can rest assured and bold! β
When the acting king heard this, he smiled: "The governor is still considerate of me, a poor king." But the king is disrespectful! β
The acting king got benefits from Chen Di, and the king of Jin was a little tasteful.
Chen Di turned his head to King Jin and said, "Lord Wang, I won't favor one over the other. I have a business here that is sure to make money without losing money, I wonder if the two princes are interested? β
King Jin asked, "What business?" Governor, please! β
Chen Di said: "This time to pacify the grassland, I not only let the Tatar tribe surrender, but also let the Wuliang Ha tribe surrender to my Ming Dynasty!" I have made an agreement with the Uliang Habe Khan. Every year, the Wuliang Habu must pay a tribute of two million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty! The grassland does not produce silver, so they can only exchange war horses, cattle and sheep for silver in the border horse market.
The two princes can do business in the border horse market! If you want to keep the price down to half of what you normally would. β
The king of Jin asked: "If the price is reduced to half of the usual price, will the Uliangha people be willing to sell it?" β
Chen Di laughed: "Not for sale? If you don't sell it, what will you take to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty? The tribute and silver are not even, beware of my Flying Tiger Army coming to the second northern expedition and destroying him Wuliangha! β
King Jin laughed: "The Metropolitan Governor is really a good means!" However, the war horse was purchased at a low priceγγγγγ Sell it to whom? Although those wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan like grassland horses, they are just a family raising a few horses to play, and this king is afraid that there will be too many goods! β
Chen Di said: "The two princes have purchased war horses, which can be sold to the Ministry of War!" The military department will accept all the orders! However, the military department only paid 70% of the usual price. Even so, the two princes still have 20% of the money! The two princes said, is this a steady loss or not a profit? β
King Jin and King Dai are overjoyed!
On behalf of the king, he said: "The governor of the capital and me and Brother Wang met for the first time, so he gave us such a heavy gift. I really don't know how to repay the Metropolitan Governor! β
How did King Jin and King Dai know that Chen Di gave them sweet dates, and the next step would be to give them a rod!
Chen Di called Hu Zongxian: "I'll give you a battalion of firecrackers to assist you in handling the dismantling of the Datong Guard!" β
Hu Zongxian arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the governor of the capital will definitely handle this matter!" β
Chen Di said to King Jin and King Dai: "Two princes, I have nothing to do in Datongwei. I'm going to set off for Taiyuan! β
The king of Jin said, "Then the king will return to Taiyuan with the governor of the capital." β
The acting king also said: "Although the captivity has been cleared now, the king's family is still in Taiyuan. The king returned to Taiyuan with the governor and brother Wang, and took his family back to Datong. β
Chen Di is now powerful, and the King of Jin actually began to pat the sycophants of this subordinate: "The metropolitan governor has made great contributions, how can he go to Taiyuan without a guard of honor?" Let's use the king's guard of honor first! β
Chen Di is not uncommon to see the honor guard of the King of Jin, this is not because he is afraid of violating the system, because he has an honor guard that is 10,000 times more majestic than the King of Jin, that is the Flying Tiger Army!
Chen Di said: "No need! β
Then Chen Di said to Yu Dayou: "Order to go to Taiyuan." β
Yu Dayou shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army obey the order!" The cavalry brigade opens the way, the fire battalion guards, the target, Taiyuan! β
After speaking, the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Army lined up on war horses, and nearly 10,000 guns and pistols were on their shoulders. That formation is not majestic!
King Jin said in his heart: "It is said that Chen Di is a hero, and the Flying Tiger Army is the division of tigers and wolves." Now I see that it is indeed the case! β
A group of people came to Taiyuan.
Liu Nuomin, the governor of Shanxi, led Taiyuan Wenwu to pick up at the city gate.
To say that Liu Nuomin, the governor of Shanxi, is an old cadre. He first worked in Laozhou County in Liangguang for more than ten years, and then was promoted to prefect, envoy, and political envoy. Although he is also a member of the Yan Party, Chen Di checked his official file in the Ministry of Officials, but found that this person has the courage to work hard and is a rare good official. Therefore, he suggested that Yan Song transfer Liu Nuomin to Shanxi as a governor.
Liu Nuomin is in his seventies and has gray hair. This head full of white hair has been boiled white for decades of official career.
Chen Di drove to the gate of Taiyuan City, and the officials of Taiyuan knelt down one after another.
Liu Nuomin remained unmoved.
The Acting King and the King of Jin followed behind Chen Di at this time.
King Jin scolded Liu Nuomin: "Liu Nuomin, why didn't you kneel when you saw the Metropolitan Governor?" β
The acting king also jumped out: "Liu Nuomin, you are rude!" β
Unexpectedly, Liu Nuomin didn't say anything, knelt down towards King Jin, and bowed twice. Then he got up, knelt down before the king, and bowed twice. In the end, he knelt down towards Chen Di and bowed!
Finally, he got up and said loudly: "Xia Guan is the governor of Shanxi appointed by the imperial court and the governor of Yanmen and other military affairs, and he is a second-grade official, and he must strictly abide by the court etiquette system!" According to the etiquette system, when I see the two princes and the governor, I want to worship the two princes first, and then the governor! Just now, the two princes were behind the Metropolitan Governor, so the lower officials didn't dare to worship the Metropolitan Governor first! β
