Chapter 569: Greedy

"It's ......"

Zhu Changluo took the song and looked at it carefully, but frowned slightly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

These days, although he is busy with the affairs of the three major battalions, he has not forgotten his duties as the crown prince, and after the cabinet approves the daily recital to Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo will take time to see it.

He is naturally not unfamiliar with the content of this recital, on the contrary, he is very familiar with it.

Now it has been more than two months since the contract was signed with the Wa State, and the mission has already arrived in the Wa State, of course, with the experience of the previous time, this time the alert level of the Ming Dynasty has been raised by several grades.

Compared to the last time, the defense force is three times as strong as last time! Prevent the Japanese from making any other moves.

However, in Zhu Changluo's opinion, I am afraid that if Tokugawa Ieyasu is given a few more dares, he will not dare to have other thoughts, after all, the tens of thousands of troops of the Japanese State are still held in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and with the strength of the Japanese State now, there is no big wave at all.

And this note in Zhu Changluo's hand, strictly speaking, should be good news!

Emperor Wakuni and Hitoshi agreed to accept the title of Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and became the king of the Ming Kingdom, submitting to the Ming Dynasty forever, and faithfully fulfilling the seven treaties of the Ming Dynasty.

It took a month for the mission to complete all the processes, and now it has begun to set off to return to Beijing, and it will take about half a month to arrive in Beijing.

"Father, this is a great joy!"

Zhu Changluo put down the music and said with a slight smile.

Although the Wa Kingdom is now the world of the shogunate, and the emperor is just a living target with no real power, the emperor is the emperor in the end, and he signed his name on this treaty, and this treaty can be regarded as truly effective.

What's more, now that the reserve army has been prepared, it will be possible to complete the recruitment of the reserve army in one month at most.

In other words, when the mission returned to Beijing, the reserve Japanese army could leave for the Japanese kingdom and officially start Zhu Changluo's plundering plan.

No matter from which point of view, this matter can be regarded as a great joy, but for some reason, Zhu Yijun's face is not very good......

"A happy event is a happy event, but the prince knows that the return of the mission this time is enough to bring back two million taels of gold and five million taels of silver from the Wa Kingdom, if I expected it to be good, I am afraid that the news has already spread now!"

Being looked at by Zhu Changluo so puzzled, the emperor's face was slightly reddened, and he spoke.

Zhu Changluo naturally knows this, speaking of which, this is also a strange thing, this time it was Xing Jue, the squire of the military department, who was sent to serve as an envoy, and the deputy envoy was Ma Gui, the deputy chief military officer of Pingwei, these two are not good at stubble.

Originally, according to the agreement, the compensation of the Japanese state could be divided into five years, and this time the compensation only needed 5 million taels.

But these two are not easy characters to deal with, and on the battlefield of Liaodong, they are even more terrifying.

Especially Magui, it is said that this murderous general in Liaodong, when Xing Jue and Tokugawa Ieyasu met with the king of the Japanese kingdom and signed the letter of state, he directly broke into the shogunate with his accompanying guards, relying on the troops in his hands, and played a robber trick.

Looted all the treasures and gold in the shogunate, and by the time Tokugawa Ieyasu reacted and transferred troops, it was too late.

Ma Gui held a knife in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu, threatening that these treasures should have been paid to the Ming Dynasty, and if Tokugawa Ieyasu dared to touch him, he wanted to start a war with the Ming Dynasty.

And with the current strength of the Japanese country, how dare they start a war lightly?

Don't forget, the fuse of the last great war was that the mission sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Wa Kingdom was killed, and it was not clear whether it was the Wa State at that time, so the Ming Dynasty sent down a thunderous rage.

Now that the mission is in the country of Wakoku, if something really happens, Tokugawa Ieyasu can't afford to take this responsibility.

So in the end, even if he swallowed his anger, Tokugawa Ieyasu still had to treat it as if he had nothing to do and sent the mission gift out of the Wa Kingdom.

To tell the truth, when Zhu Changluo heard the news just now, his first reaction was to cry and laugh.

Ma Gui dared to do this, there must be someone behind him!

As for who is the one who commanded it? I'm afraid there is no one else but this one on the throne!

Change another person, give Ma Gui ten more dares, he doesn't dare to be so bold, after all, the Wa Kingdom is certainly afraid of war, but if the Ming Dynasty fights again, I'm afraid it will also hurt his muscles and bones.

Of course, with the lesson of the last time, the courtiers did not see it this time, after all, behind them, there was a group of people waiting for the silver......

Someone who asks for silver?!

Zhu Changluo suddenly realized what his father was worried about.

The success of the peace talks is a good thing, and it is a great thing to bring back a large amount of silver, but when it comes to the fat on the side of the mouth, half of it will be taken away, which is not a good thing!

The ratio of gold to silver in the Ming Dynasty today is about one to eight, that is to say, the various treasures brought back by the mission this time, gold, add up to about 20 million taels.

Of course, this is probably most of the existing wealth of the Japanese Kingdom, and the mission has taken away so much, I am afraid that the Japanese Kingdom will be in chaos for a while, but this is not important to Zhu Changluo.

The important thing is that the 20 million taels of silver, at least about 10 million taels, must be returned to the merchants and relatives who originally made the silver.

The remaining 10,000,000 taels will fall into the inner treasury and the treasury.

This was agreed upon.

But now looking at the posture of his father, I am afraid that I am reluctant to let the silver fall into the hands of others.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Changluo shook his head and said.

"Father, according to the opinion of the sons, since the agreement was made with those merchants, the court must not break the contract, otherwise, where is the prestige of the court, not to mention, if it can't be fulfilled this time, it will be difficult to let these merchants pay money in the future......"

The wealth is moving, but in the final analysis, this agreement has been made a long time ago, and the dignified court, how can it break the contract and abandon the letter for the sake of this mere 10 million taels of silver, and it will not make people laugh when it is spread out.

"With this silver, I still need them to give money in the future......"

Listening to Zhu Changluo's words, the emperor suddenly blushed and muttered.

It made Zhu Changluo a little crying and laughing, no wonder the ministers said that he, a father and emperor, was a fan of wealth and such a majestic image, how could he be like a willful child at this time.

Seeing Zhu Changluo staring at him with a strange face, Zhu Yijun also felt that his behavior was inappropriate, and hurriedly recovered his majestic look and muttered.

"Prince, you have to understand, the whole Ming Dynasty needs to use a lot of silver, in the past few years, the treasury has been depleted, I have worked hard to continue, reluctantly, if there is this silver in hand, the imperial court finances will definitely improve, not to mention 10 million taels of silver, not a small amount, if it flows into the hands of those merchants, I am afraid it will make the market turbulent, not a good thing! Not to mention ......"

Speaking of this, the emperor's face froze slightly, paused, and continued.

"What's more, since they donated silver to the imperial court at the beginning, it was not the imperial court that borrowed silver from them, and I had already issued a decree to praise them, and now they ......"

If there is some truth in the previous sentence, then this sentence is a scoundrel.

And why are others cheating fathers, when it comes to Zhu Changluo, he, the father, thinks about how to pit his son every day?
