Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Isn't it?" I think this artillery is an important weapon of the country, and it will definitely not be bought and sold easily, although I am the ruler of the country, but I have never interfered in the government and politics, so I don't want to participate in this matter much, but I can't stand the repeated requests of these friends, so I have the cheekiness to come to the old man! ”

Yuan Keli smiled and nodded: "This artillery is just as Brother Zhou said, it is an important weapon of the country, and it cannot be easily sold to countries other than the Ming Dynasty, and now the king of North Korea is in Beijing, asking our Emperor His Majesty to sell this batch of artillery to them for revenge, North Korea is our vassal country, so Your Majesty also has this intention, but this artillery is in Ningyuan, and the old man belongs to the cabinet, so Your Majesty wants to ask for the opinion of our cabinet, and after our discussion, we feel that this move is feasible, no, the artillery is already packed!" Ready to be transported to Jingshi to be disposed of by Sun Gelao! ”

At this time, the Mongolian named Ge Ri Letu was a little anxious, got up and said: "Dear Governor Yuan, our Mongolia and the Ming are also good friends, good brothers, now the relationship between our two countries is getting closer and closer, and we still have a common enemy, if we Lin Dan Khan have this batch of artillery, then it will be of great benefit to both our Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Oh?" Yuan Keli raised his eyebrows. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that Yuan Keli was a little interested, Ge Rile Tu hurriedly said: "Pavilion Elder! You see, if our Lin Dan Khan has this batch of artillery, will the pressure on Huang Taiji be greater, will he have to send more troops to garrison it, even if it is not their own army, then this will transfer the army of his allies, will his allies not be happy? Will there be a gap within their alliance? Furthermore, if Huang Taiji transfers the army to defend Lin Dan Khan, will the pressure on your country be reduced a lot? Although you have temporarily ceased the war now, the pressure must still be not small, Governor Yuan, I don't know if what you are talking about is not paying attention? ”

"After you say this, there is some truth, but although our relationship is currently very stable, if we just sell it to you, there will always be some pressure in the court!" Yuan Keli was a little in danger.

Seeing that Yuan Keli seemed to be a little moved, at this time Hasbargen muttered: "I just listened to what Ge Ri Le Tu said, and I will add some below, in addition to the benefits that Ge Ri Le Tu said just now, there is another point I don't know if Yuan Ge Lao thought of it, this benefit is also the most direct benefit, that is, this practice can also save a lot of silver for the imperial court of your country, presumably your country spends a lot of silver in Liaodong every year, right?" If the pressure on your country is reduced, then I don't know how many such cannons can be built with the silver saved every year, and then the cost of these silver can be saved, and the court of your country can reduce the tax burden of some of the people of your country, so that it can also increase the prestige of His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and increase the prestige of your court. ”

Yuan Keli held his beard and said with a smile: "After you say this, I can't give it to you?" ”

Griletu thought for a moment and said, "In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to buy this artillery at double the price!" ”

Yuan Keli smiled and said, "Double? Do you know how much silver is sold in North Korea? ”

Ge Riletu suddenly said embarrassedly: "I hope Governor Yuan will tell me!" ”

Yuan Keli smiled and raised a finger, and Ge Rile looked at it, "One thousand taels?" Geriletu blurted out.

Hasbargan's face suddenly turned black, and he said in his heart: "This fool, is it possible to have a thousand taels?" ”

Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Your Excellency is really good at laughing, the price of a cannon is 10,000 taels for the king of Joseon!" And the artillery that once bombarded Nurhachi was 30,000 taels! ”

"Ten thousand taels?" Ge Riletu was surprised, and then smiled again: "Governor Yuan, this king of Korea is no longer in the country, why did he get so much silver?" ”

"Your Excellency doesn't know anything, this Korean king was evacuated before the Tatars arrived in Seoul, so he didn't come empty-handed when he arrived in Beijing, and the things he brought were transported in I don't know how many cars, and it took more than three hours to transport them, so I don't need to tell you how much money is there?" Yuan Keli said with a smile.

Hasbargen muttered: "Governor Yuan, let's do it, one hundred thousand taels and five cannons!" We brought so much silver, as long as this transaction is completed, we will also give preferential treatment when your country buys our war horses in the future, this is our letter from Lin Dan Khan to your country, the content of this transaction is written on it, if the transaction goes well, then please ask Governor Yuan to hand it over to Your Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Oh?" Yuan Keli was puzzled, and then took the letter of state and read it, the first feeling that this letter gave him was that the level of this fraud was really not ordinarily high, if he didn't know that they were fake, this letter of state couldn't be seen to be fake at all, Yuan Keli couldn't help but praise himself secretly, and then swept down the content, explaining the various benefits promised, if this is true, Daming can really get a lot of benefits from it, but unfortunately it is fake.

Yuan Keli put down the national letter and said: "The conditions are very good!" But the old man can't refuse, and presumably His Majesty the Emperor won't refuse either! Since His Majesty the Emperor has asked the old man to be the prime minister of this matter, then the old man will give us the icing on the cake for the friendly relations between our two countries! ”

Zhou Quan was overjoyed after hearing this: "So you always agree?" ”

"Such a good condition, if the old man disagrees, it is estimated that he will be scolded by his colleagues, and what the two brothers said is not unreasonable, in the end, if the old man does not agree, will you easily let the old man go today?" Yuan Keli said with a smile.

Zhou Quan laughed out loud after hearing this: "Haha! The elder said with a smile, you are the elder of the pavilion and the governor of Liaodong, how dare I, a ruler with no duties and no powers, get along with you? Yes and no? ”

Yuan Keli waved his hand and smiled: "Okay! You don't have to bury me! But since you can also sell it, this silver must be paid in cash, so that the old man can explain to the court, there is no problem with this, right? ”

"No problem!" Geriletu and Hasbargen were overjoyed.

"In that case, let's sign this paperwork! Ah Fu, bring the paperwork! Yuan Keli commanded.

"Yes! Master! Ah Fu responded, and then took a box from the water tank, Yuan Keli opened it, took out a document and said: "You see, this document is for North Korea, it has been signed, and it only needs to be sent to the king of Beijing to sign and seal, and now write your name here, and in addition, Lin Dan Khan's letter of state will also be handed over to the old man at the same time, and this will be handed over to the imperial court together!" ”

"It's really Governor Lao Yuan! Thank you for your kindness! I believe that our Great Khan will also be grateful to Governor Yuan! Geriletu and Hasbargen saluted at the same time, and then Hasbargen said: "One hundred thousand taels of coins are outside, and they will be sent in as soon as possible!" ”

"Good! Then sign it! After Yuan Keli finished speaking, he handed over the paperwork of the transaction, Hasbargen picked it up and looked at it, and found that there was no problem, so he directly signed his name with a pen, and then respectfully handed it to Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli looked at it and said, "Okay! Then you can keep this copy! This artillery is outside, I will let Deputy Governor Yuan be responsible, since this matter is over, you can go out to see the goods, the old man still has something, so he won't go! ”

Gřiletu and Hasbargen looked at each other, and then said respectfully, "Thank you, Governor Yuan!" Then we're quitting! ”

Zhou Quan also smiled and said, "Pavilion Elder! Then I'll take care of it! I'll be back with you later! ”

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Yuan Keli smiled and waved his hand.

After going out, the group went directly to the square according to the instructions, where Yuan Chonghuan was directing the soldiers to pack the artillery carefully, and next to him stood two people dressed in Mongolian clothes who were talking to Yuan Chonghuan.

"You two go out first, let people bring the coins in, the other person is waiting for me here, those two Mongols must be really sent by Lin Dan Khan, I'll go around, you just give me the paperwork!" Zhou Quan whispered.

"It's still Brother Zhou's thoughtfulness!" Griletu whispered, "Then I'll go out and have the coins come in!" ”

Zhou Quan nodded and said, "Be careful, don't be seen by other Mongolians, you know?" ”

Gri Letu nodded and said, "Don't worry! Then I'll go! With that, he went out the door.

Watching Ge Rile figure leave, Zhou Quan said: "You are waiting for me here, I will go over and talk to Yuan Chonghuan!" ”

Hasbargen nodded: "Trouble Brother Zhou!" ”

Zhou Quan nodded and walked in the direction of Yuan Chonghuan.

"Yo he! Isn't it really Zhou Guozhang? How did you come to Ningyuan? Yuan Chonghuan greeted with a smile.

"Brother Yuan!" Zhou Quan hugged his fists and smiled: "Come here to Ningyuan to do some small business and earn a little money to support your family!" ”

"Guozhang is still so humorous!" Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile.

Zhou Quan pretended not to understand and said, "Brother Yuan, who are these two?" ”

Hasbargen, who was watching not far away, saw Zhou Quan and Yuan Chonghuan chatting very energetically, and then argued with the two Mongolians, and quietly stuffed two money bags for the two Mongolians when Yuan Chonghuan was not paying attention, and suddenly the two Mongolians became happy and smiling, and then Zhou Quan showed Yuan Chonghuan the paperwork, and secretly stuffed a thick money bag for Yuan Chonghuan, and then Yuan Chonghuan seemed to agree to Zhou Quan, nodded, and seemed to be a little reluctant to go over and touch a box repeatedly, Looking sad, he didn't feel a little sentimental as an outsider.

Soon after, the two Mongolians saluted Zhou Quan and Yuan Chonghuan and left, and Zhou Quan and Yuan Chonghuan seemed to say goodbye to each other, at this time the coins had also been shipped in, Yuan Chonghuan went over to arrange for people to receive them, Zhou Quan came over with a smile on his face, and after walking in, Hasbargen looked at Zhou Quan excitedly and said, "It's done?" ”

Zhou Quan nodded and said, "What am I worried about?" ”
