"Master Xuan, we will seriously consider this plan you proposed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Min Cijin, Queen Min, leaned over slightly and said gently: "We need to discuss with the minister at the court meeting, and within ten days, we will give a clear answer to Xuan Gongzi." ”

Young Master Meng nodded, knowing that this King of North Korea Li Xi and Queen Min Cijin were just decorations, but it was necessary to find them once, "You can call me Young Master Meng, people who know me call me that, this matter, don't reveal the details to the outside world, if you let the Great Qing Kingdom know that it is my grandfather who leads, it will be very inconvenient, and we will not admit it to the outside world." ”

Queen Min Cijin squinted at Xuan Yuemeng, and her heart suddenly burst, why can't she tell the outside world?

Don't?

Young Master Meng smiled faintly, "Queen, please don't get me wrong, my grandfather has no selfish intentions, this is just a political attempt!" If he didn't get results, my grandfather would have been attacked by other local officials. ”

Min Cijin, Queen Min, nodded and said, "It's understandable, but, Young Master Meng, how much money do you plan to invest in this iron bridge?" If North Korea accounts for 50 percent, how much will we pay? ”

Young Master Meng said: "It's not much, about 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver!" ”

King Li Xi of North Korea and Min Cijin, Queen Min of Korea, were both shocked, and 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver is not much? North Korea's annual tax is less than 1 million taels!

However, this is really nothing compared to the money that Li Yuying, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard, spent to build Yongfu Palace, less than one percent!

The fact that Li Yuying, the monarch of the Xingxuan Courtyard, used the savings of the entire North Korea for a hundred years to build the palace is incomprehensible to Young Master Meng, and Young Master Meng probably understands the meaning of Li Yuying, the monarch of the Xingxuan Courtyard, just like the Empress Dowager Cixi, just to save face, let the foreigners and the people see that the court is rich, and see whose world this dynasty is!

However, spending so much money at one time, especially in a small country in North Korea, is larger than the budget of the Great Qing Kingdom to build the Summer Palace, which is something that Young Master Meng can't understand.

Young Master Meng said goodbye to the king of Joseon Li Xi and Queen Min Cijin of Min, left the palace of Joseon, and asked to see Li Yuying, the king of Xingxuan Courtyard, non-stop!

He thought of how to deal with this Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying, isn't it money! Anyway, the things that can be solved with money, Master Meng thinks it's all small things, this is Master Meng's point of view.

In fact, whether it was the Joseon Palace or the Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying, he did not meet Prince Richard Harris in private, but received him on official business during the court meeting.

Master Meng regrets that he shouldn't have let Prince Richard Harris use diplomatic channels to contact North Korea first, but if Prince Richard Harris is not allowed to take the lead, I don't know what the effect will be?

Li Yuying, the monarch of Xingxuan Courtyard, is a cold-looking old man, about the same age as Xuan Zonglu, and he knows at a glance that he is the kind of conservative and stubborn old-fashioned person.

If Xuan Zonglu hadn't been changed a lot by Young Master Meng, Xuan Zonglu would also be very disgusted with contact with foreigners, everything is a matter of habit, Xuan Zonglu will sometimes take the initiative to ask to eat Western food now, steak is a kind of main meal that Xuan Zonglu likes.

Young Master Meng followed the officials of the Mansion of the Courtyard Jun, and turned around to a small house, if it wasn't for someone to lead the way, Young Master Meng couldn't find it, the layout of the North Korean house is very strange, people who don't know the situation, can't see where the main building is.

If it is the imperial palace of the Great Qing Kingdom, although there are many palaces, when you go to the main palace, you can still tell where the emperor may work.

"Lord Courtyard." Young Master Meng is still indifferent and steady.

"Please come and sit down!" Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying is also very curious to look at this strange Chinese child, although it is the first time to contact Young Master Meng, however, Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying and the top level of North Korea are very concerned about the situation and news of the Qing Kingdom, and the matter of Young Master Meng becoming a quasi-forehead is not only very rare in the Qing Kingdom, but also big news in North Korea, everyone knows that there is such a prodigy.

"Yes, thank you, sir." Young Master Meng and Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying sat down across a small desk.

The habits of the North Koreans, Young Master Meng is really not used to it, he doesn't even have a chair, he sits on the ground.

"I heard that Xuan Gongzi is the grandson of the new governor of Liaoning, Lord Xuan Zonglu, or the quasi-forehead of the noble Wei Jiege of the Great Qing Kingdom, is this the case?" Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying's eyes were very divine, and the two little eyes were shining, looking at Young Master Meng.

Young Master Meng smiled: "Adults can call me Yue Meng, or call me Young Master Meng, my relatives all call me like this, so it looks kind." What the adults said is not wrong. ”

Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying nodded, "Okay, Young Master Meng, just now you proposed to the king and queen in the palace to open border trade and build an iron bridge, is this with the consent of Lord Xuan Zonglu?" ”

Young Master Meng was secretly surprised, Li Yu should have known so quickly? He immediately understood that Li Yuying was telling himself that North Korea, he was in charge! "Yes, I'm just running errands for my grandfather, who is the big boss of the Asian company! My grandfather wants to achieve results in Liaoning as soon as possible through border trade, and he has already used the Northeast as a springboard for his career, and he must run it well. ”

Li Yuying, the monarch of the Xingxuan Courtyard, nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case, then, for such a big matter, don't you need to inform the court of the Great Qing Kingdom?" ”

Young Master Meng smiled, "The Great Qing Kingdom, like you North Korea, doesn't like to deal with foreign countries, North Korea is a vassal state of my Great Qing Kingdom, this is an exception, the Great Qing Dynasty has already acquiesced to my grandfather's idea, otherwise, how can such a big thing be done in private?" ”

Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying sighed, he also thought so, it is to open trade, and to build bridges, this is not a trivial matter, "Since it is a matter of acquiescence to the Qing Dynasty, we will not have much resistance in North Korea, it's just that our current treasury is empty, displaced people are everywhere, and there is no money at hand, I don't know, the cost of this construction." ”

Young Master Meng said with a smile, this old man is going to cry poor, this is already something he expected, "To tell the truth to Lord Dayuan, the cost of building the bridge will be paid by my grandfather privately, and when the time comes, the market town of trade will also be placed in Danzhou, but, externally, it can be said that this is a bridge built by Lord Dayuanjun with half of the money donated by him, which can not only make the bridge called Li Yuying Bridge, but also let Lord Dayuan Jun own half of the bridge equity!" After the trade town is built, half of the tax will be paid to North Korea. My grandfather really wanted to be good friends with Dayuan-kun. (To be continued.) )
