Putty really weighed it carefully, and after a long time, he spoke up: "Minister Huang, in the matter of the Lancang Dynasty, the lower officials should do their best to strive for them to return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, but the lower officials also have a matter, I hope Minister Huang can help." ”

"National teacher, please speak."

"The taxes in my big city are not as good as the Ming Dynasty, plus the battle with Donghu, the consumption is very large, these two million taels of silver, it is really not enough for a while, I hope Minister Huang can be graced for two years."

Huang Xiaofu pondered for a long time before he spoke: "The matter of the national teacher is the matter of my Huang, I will definitely let Dacheng pay it off within three years, but the national teacher must persuade the Lancang Kingdom, no matter what means are used." ”

"That's for sure." Putty put his mind at ease, if it is paid off in three years, it is better for Ayutthaya to live a tight life than to be destroyed by Donghu, as for the Lancang Kingdom, it is not the land of Ayutthaya anyway, no matter who it belongs to, it has no direct relationship with Ayutthaya.

"National teacher, then this matter will be decided for the time being, and after Huang Bingming's majesty agrees, we will sign a contract?" Huang Xiaofu was so happy, he blackmailed Dacheng with two million taels of silver out of thin air, and he overfulfilled the task assigned by Zhu Youzhen.

"Minister Huang, when will Da Ming be able to send troops?" That's what Putty is most concerned about.

Huang Xiaofu closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to persuade Zhu Youzhen, and suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, "The national teacher just said well, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, since Dacheng is in danger now, it is natural to send troops as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, yes, Minister Huang is right, he deserves to be a friend of the lower officials."

"For the sake of the national teacher's courtesy, I will ask His Majesty Xià to build yì, there is no need to mobilize the army of the Beijing division, it is best to mobilize the troops of Yunnan and Guangdong nearby, you can save the journey of thousands of miles, how about the national teacher?"

"Thank you, Minister Huang!" Putty bowed, "Then my great city will be saved." ”

Huang Xiaofu didn't care about the safety of Dacheng, he wanted to do his best to cash out the benefits of the Ming Dynasty, "National teacher, all the agreements just now are a whole, and the national teacher must also fulfill all his promises, don't make it difficult for Huang to be a man." ”

Putty saluted again, "Minister Huang rest assured, once the contract is signed, the lower officials will immediately leave for China, ready to fulfill all the promises in the contract, besides, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, how dare a small big city break the contract." ”

¤dǐng¤diǎn¤小¤語,.▲.≤os_(); "That's what I said, but Huang doesn't want something unpleasant to happen on both sides."

"Minister Huang, don't worry, absolutely not."

"Then Huang immediately meet His Majesty, the national teacher will wait for good news!"

Huang Xiaofu sent Puti away, and while the palace gate was not closed, he immediately asked to see Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen was practicing, and when he heard that Huang Xiaofu asked to see him, he was a little surprised, "Minister Huang, how are you negotiating with Puti?" How many rounds of negotiations will it take to take Puti? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the negotiations are basically over."

"It's over? Why did the talks fall apart? What are the main disputes between the parties? Zhu Youzhen was slightly disappointed, Daming will send troops to Burma sooner or later, if he sends troops now, whether it is morally or economically, Daming will take advantage of it, I don't want Huang Xiaofu to mess up, do you see the wrong person? Or is Huang Xiaofu too greedy?

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no dispute, we have already negotiated."

"Agreed?" Zhu Youzhen looked at Huang Xiaofu, it seemed that he was a monster from Mars, "Is it really negotiated?" The result? ”

"A qiē is in the calculation of the majesty." Huang Xiaofu reported the negotiation process to Zhu Youzhen in detail.

"Haha, when Yan Sui met Aiqing for the first time, I knew that Aiqing had the potential of a diplomat, and she was born with slanderous materials, and this first formal negotiation not only completed all the missions, but also brought in two million taels of silver," Zhu Youzhen was glad that he used the right person, "Aiqing said, what reward do you need?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is the duty of Weichen to seek benefits for the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need for any reward, Weichen has already taken the Ming Dynasty's Yulu," Huang Xiaofu took out the brocade box that Putty gave him from his sleeve, opened it and put it in front of Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, this is the pearl agate that Putty gave to Weichen." ”

Zhu Youzhen saw these perverted jewels for the first time, "Putty really paid a lot of money this time in order to bribe the officials of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't accept Puti's bribes privately, all of them were for the sake of Daming, and all the jewels were here."

"A qiē for the sake of the Ming Dynasty? Good. Zhu Youzhen closed the brocade box.

"Your Majesty, this brocade box is going to be handed over to the Ministry of Finance?" Huang Xiaofu knew that the current practice was that gifts were too expensive for private individuals to accept, and they had to be handed over to the treasury of the Ministry of Finance as income from the treasury.

"I know that Aiqing didn't take bribes privately, and the jewels in this brocade box are still full," Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, he returned the brocade box to Huang Xiaofu, "A person who is a Ming dynasty should also be rewarded accordingly." ”

"Your Majesty xià ......" Huang Xiaofu didn't know what Zhu Youzhen meant.

"Although Aiqing accepts it, this time Aiqing has overfulfilled the negotiation task, it should be regarded as my reward!"

"陛xià......"

"Aiqing rest assured, this is not greedy for ink, but the reward you deserve, but this reward is given by Puttidai." Zhu Youzhen smiled with his eyebrows, he got two million taels of silver, and he didn't even have to give out the reward of silver, he was even more excited than when Zhou Yufeng first entered the palace.

"Majesty, is this true?" Huang Xiaofu still couldn't believe his ears, although he served as the vice minister of foreign affairs, he was actually not high, and he had just lived a well-off life, which was only one better than when he was in Yansui and waited for death.

"You don't joke." Zhu Youzhen asked Huang Xiaofu to pack up the brocade box.

"Thank you, Thank you, Majesty, Long live, Long live!" Huang Xiaofu kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen to thank him, and then sat down again.

"Haha, I have a reward, is it long live?" Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood and took the initiative to open a shabu.

"I don't dare." Huang Xiaofu wanted to kowtow and apologize, but Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand to stop him, "I'm happy today, I'm joking with Aiqing." ”

Of course, Huang Xiaofu knew that it was a joke, so he no longer pretended, "The negotiation between Weichen and Putty is basically over, Your Majesty, what else do you want to add?" ”

"These are very good, no need to add more, when you sign the contract, bring the paperwork, as long as there is no problem with the expression."

"Wechen obeys!" Huang Xiaofu bowed his hand, "Your Majesty, Putty is still waiting for Weichen - when will Daming send troops?" ”

"Since Dacheng is so sincere, I can't help but express it," Zhu Youzhen thought for a moment, as if talking to himself: "The ship transporting mountain runs and rockets should have arrived in Guangzhou." ”

"陛xià......"

"Sue sù puti, the army will be raised on the tenth day of the first month of the first month, and the twentieth day of the first month can reach Yunnan, and in half a month, you can reach Dacheng, so that they can prepare enough food and silver."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Putty has made a promise that as soon as the contract is signed, he will immediately return to Ayutthaya and start preparing."

"Well," Zhu Youzhen said, "In addition, the matter of convincing the Lancang Kingdom must also be carried out immediately, and I don't want them to break the contract." ”

"Your Majesty, after defeating Donghu, the 100,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are at the door of Dacheng's house, and they dare not break the contract with a few of their courage."

"It's better to be like this." Zhu Youzhen did not want to make extraneous branches, he had too many things to do now, there were internal reforms to advance to the five central provinces and the five southern provinces, and there was the South China Sea Fleet fighting in the South Seas.

"Your Majesty, the minister will go to meet Putty and sign the contract as soon as possible."

"Huang Aiqing, don't worry, you don't have to go tonight, tomorrow someone will go to invite Puti to negotiate again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Huang Xiaofu came back to his senses, if he hurried to Puti now, people would not suspect that he would be strange if he set him up, "Thank you for your support, the minister was suddenly opened." ”

"Go ahead and study the contract."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires."

Huang Xiaofu was solely responsible for signing the contract with Puti, and because Putty brought a blank document with the seal of the king of Ayutthaya, Parase, after Zhu Youzhen put the seal on it, the contract officially came into effect.

Zhu Youzhen thought that there would be no major event before the new yuan when he sent Puti away, but Wei Xin, commander of the North Sea Fleet, and Zheng Zhilong, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, came to Beijing almost at the same time and asked to see Zhu Youzhen.
