Huang Hou received Chen Deng's support, and immediately rushed to the court with five people, Situ, Sima, Sikong, Sikou, and Daliangzao, to discuss the matter together. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
These five people were in high positions and had made a lot of good fortunes in the palace, so they immediately asked, but those neighbors didn't know about it, but said that they were summoned after Chen Xiang and Huang Hou had a secret talk, and they went out before that.
Situ: Finance, civil affairs, etc.;
Sima: Official selection, Yu Lu;
Sikong: land and engineering construction;
Si Ko: Criminal Law;
Daliangzao: The world's soldiers and horses.
When the five people learned of this, they hurriedly changed their clothes and went to the palace, met in front of the palace, and the five looked at each other, and finally went to the palace without saying a word.
At this moment, in the hall, Huang Hou and Chen Deng were discussing in front of the map, and when they saw them coming, they sat down separately, and the five of them saw this, and their hearts became more and more unbalanced, they had worked hard for Huang Guo for most of their lives, but now they let a hairy boy stand on their heads!
In terms of qualifications and seniority, there is no turn for this Chen Yu.
Situ Yi went to the palace and said to Huang Hou: "Your Majesty, Chen Yu took 100 gold from the treasury, but he gave it to a Qianshou like a child's play, and now, this Qianshou is in his camp, which is obviously his private pocket, and this 100 gold is not in his hands in the end."
Situ suddenly became difficult, and Si Kou was not to be outdone, and stepped forward and said: "Jun Mingjian, Chen Yu bullied others, led 500 troops, and robbed the first family property and land in Qian, and the people complained and complained, please punish this person heavily."
"Your Majesty, Chen Yu rashly launched an attack, and the whole Huang Kingdom was completely unprepared, which angered the Jinan Kingdom at this moment, and my Huang Kingdom was in danger." Daliangzao also started one after another.
"Chen Yu is still young, just because he captured Jiaodong, he will be awarded the position of prime minister, is there something wrong, the king can let him be a county commander, hone a lot, accumulate some years and qualifications, they naturally have nothing to say." This is Sima.
The four important ministers made a series of difficulties, but Chen Deng could not be moved, but looked at them with a lively look.
And his appearance angered these important ministers even more.
The smile on Huang Hou's face disappeared in an instant, and he looked at them calmly, for a long time, frowned, and said, "You, are you blind when you are alone?" If you don't accept Lone's appointment, you can leave on your own, there is no shortage of people in the Yellow Country! ”
Da Liang has the strongest temperament, as soon as he heard this, he took off his official uniform without saying a word, and turned his head to leave.
"Anything else?" Huang Hou didn't blink his eyes and looked at the remaining four.
The crowd was silent.
"Very good, disrespectful to Chen Qing means disrespectful to Lonely, if there is any difference, or you plan to persuade me, you can, capture a county of the enemy country. Chen Qing. After Huang Hou finished speaking, he sighed in his heart, looked at Chen Deng and said: "The position of Daliang is concurrently held by you, if there is an obstacle, kill it!"
"Thank you, your lord."
Huang Hou really couldn't find a person who could assist Chen Yu wholeheartedly, so he simply let Chen Yu himself serve as Daliangzao!
For Chen Yu, with the position of Daliangzao, there is one less constraint for him, and it is more convenient for his plan.
And the remaining four people, even if they are unwilling, they can't do anything at the moment, Huang Hou has great trust in them, they are fundamentally shaken, so it seems that they can only wait for the Jinan army to defeat them, they can be defeated, otherwise there is no hope.
"Alright, I will summon you and others today because I want to ask about your attitude." Immediately, Huang Hou told what he had heard today, especially the ten big ships and nearly a thousand armored soldiers.
"Your Majesty, rashly exchanging the head of the Qianqian for the blade and armor is unpopular with the people. However, the people of Jiaodong County are new, so it is better to exchange them for the people of Jiaodong County, right? Presumably, with Chen Xiang's loyalty, he shouldn't mind. Situ immediately said with a thorn in his words, and deliberately glanced at Chen Deng, his tone was unusually proud.
"......" Chen Deng was silent.
Huang Hou's face immediately sank, and he said, "Long before you, Chen Qing had already proposed to trade with the people of Jiaodong. Harming himself and benefiting the Huang Kingdom, Chen Qing is naturally a loyal minister, what do you say, Yue Situ? ”
Situ was stunned when he heard this, looked at Chen Yu in disbelief, and finally said: "Chen Xiang is high-spirited and bright, and he is convinced." From this moment on, he no longer dared to make irresponsible remarks about Chen Deng, restrained his expression, and retreated to his position.
"I came to you today, first, to ask for your opinions, and it seems that you all agreed, and second, to immediately collect scrap iron from all over the country from today. At the same time, according to the location provided by the other party to dig phosphate rock, those who know the purpose of phosphate rock will be rewarded. ”
"Whoa!"
There are 20,000 households in Jiaodong County, about 50,000 people, worth thousands of gold, and finally enough to equip 5,000 people with ring-headed knives, armor, guns, shields, helmets and other things. and paper, fans, candles, salt, clothing, mushrooms, wine, lanterns, etc.
And the whereabouts of these 20,000 households are obvious.
Those who are attached to the conditions for joining the army will be sent to Tuntian in the Liaohe Plain.
But this is obviously not enough, far from enough, Zhuxia will use troops against Changli, and a large number of people will be needed to fill Changli, the border, and even Goguryeo.
However, with this group of people, the population of the Han Kingdom has increased to 130,000 households, about 350,000 people, but the proportion of men and women in the territory is still unbalanced, and the unemployment rate is suppressed below 1%, that is, below 3,500.
In the workshops in the Han Kingdom, priority is given to those who do not have acres of land and have no young and strong people in their families.
Therefore, most of these 100% are scholars, especially those from Wenguo, one is more than a local tyrant, and those who are really unemployed are those who are ill and lazy.
"When will your chamber of commerce come again?"
This time, it was Luo Qing who came forward, he was a standard businessman, rubbing his hands, bowing slightly, and said with a smile: "I was about to talk about this matter, I don't know if your country is willing to lease all the 10,000 acres of land around here to Penglai."
"Rent?"
"Yes, rent. That is, the concession. Every year, the Penglai Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay 300 gold worth of goods for this purpose, or your country will use it to offset part of the payment. At the same time, in the concession, the Penglai Chamber of Commerce has extraterritoriality, and Penglai is also solely responsible for public security.
If Huang Guo is willing, you will get the friendship of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, and you can rent the ships of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce every year for surprise attacks and transportation. Luo Qing said with a smile.
Huang Hou hesitated and looked at Chen Deng.
Chen Deng thought about it again and again, and finally said: "If you can get the Penglai ship transportation, it will be of great effect on attacking Jinan." 10,000 acres of land, not much, most of it is saline-alkali land. ”
"In that case, Lone agreed!"
"Thank you Huang Hou, thank you Chen Xiang."
At the same time, the Duke of Jinan was furious when he learned that Jiaodong was lost, and Huang Guo's abnormal behavior also made those who were in Jinan and could not enter the door pay attention to it.
