Chapter 446: The lease term is five hundred years

"Doctor, go find Doctor. [Reading Network]"

"Block the palace ban, don't leak the news."

The bad news came, coupled with the fainting of the right Yizheng, there was a mess in front of the Dunhua Gate, but what everyone didn't notice was that the head of the Min family took advantage of the lack of attention and came to Min Yizheng's ear and said something, and after the latter listened, he also showed a thoughtful look.

"Lord Min, do you think you should first tell the king, and then hold a collegial meeting to discuss?" After the doctor arrived, the situation settled down slightly, and Choi proposed to Min Yizheng.

"No, the news can't get out so quickly!" Min Yizheng flatly refused.

"But...... There are still ...... on Qingshan Island" Cui Yizheng refused to give up, although most of the boat was gone, but the people were still there, and there was hope for saving people back.

"When you come to my house at night, everything will be clear by then." When he said this, Min Yizheng did not have much confidence. But since the pirates sent someone to find him, it means that the matter is still negotiable, and it is much more reliable than forcibly trying to save people or something.

Pirates, it's nothing more than kidnapping people for extortion, it's easy to say that they want money, food, and women, and the North Koreans are best at falling with the wind, and this little thing can't help but be difficult for themselves.

On the contrary, it is much more troublesome to save people, the combined fleet has capsized, even if the ships of the rest of the families are concentrated, plus the naval army of the imperial court, it may not be an opponent?

What's more, according to the subordinates, the pirates annihilated the combined fleet unscathed, and this kind of enemy is too strong, how can it be provoked? Or is it right to listen to what the other party has to say, if the requirements are not too high, then why not satisfy them?

And it is the most stupid to open the news and hold a collegiate meeting! What can that useless king do? It is certainly not possible to be busy, but it is possible to contact the political enemies in the north and counterattack the southerners who are now in power to be considered real.

"That's okay, I'll go to pay a visit to Lord Min in the evening."

…… Min House.

"Xisheng, how did you explain it to you? Why haven't people arrived yet? ”

Min Yizheng has been waiting since the evening, waiting for Cui Yizheng to come, and waiting for the watchman, but he didn't wait for the so-called pirate messenger, worry and frustration were mixed, and he was very irritable.

"Master, that man said that he was going to take a walk in Hanyang, and he would definitely come over tonight."

"Take a look, aren't those pirates from Daming? What is there to do in Hanyang? ”

Choi had also served as an envoy earlier and knew the difference between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. Don't look at Hanyang as the capital of North Korea, let alone Yanjing, even if you find a small county town from Daming, it is not much worse than Hanyang.

"That envoy is not from the Ming Kingdom, but from our Koreans......" Min Hee-sheng replied timidly.

"There are such Koreans who forget their ancestors, it is simply the annihilation of the DPRK and the shame of the North Koreans!" Cui Yizheng scolded hatefully.

"Master Cui, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still the same, you know, it is not the way of a gentleman to talk about right and wrong behind your back." While he was drinking and scolding, he suddenly heard someone outside say aloud, it was a straight Korean dialect, and the voice was still a little familiar, and the two councilors looked at each other in disbelief.

Min Xisheng got up and said happily: "Two adults, it was the messenger who arrived, and the villain went to welcome him in." ”

The messenger had come during the day, so the porter did not stop him and let him go into the courtyard, so it was not strange for the two of them to discuss it, but his voice made them a little concerned. When the man walked into the study and the two looked at each other, it dawned on him.

"Is that you? Jin Xia love, how do you ......"

Originally, they were also officials in the same dynasty, of course, several people would not know each other, and Jin Xiaai was sent to Jeju Island, so it is not surprising that he will join the pirates, Cui Yizheng was taken aback at first, and then swallowed back the questions behind, but he sneered and said nothing.

"Two adults, Jin is polite." Jin Xia smiled and raised his hand slightly to the two, and then sat down with a big grin.

"You actually took refuge in the pirates, with you as an internal annihilator, no wonder ......" The two sides were originally political enemies, and when they saw each other's proud appearance, Cui Yizheng was very unhappy, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Master Cui, are you wrong, how can Jin play a role in such a big scene?" Jin Xia Ai asked with a sneer.

It's not what it used to be, although there is still some wind and frost on his face, but his spirit has long since returned to his peak state last year, and even surpassed it. This is also a matter of course, the attitude of the envoy is completely determined by the backer behind him, and now his backer is unprecedentedly strong, and of course he has a lot of confidence.

When a pirate got on the table, he put on this posture like a human dog, and if he can't get on the stage, he can't get on the stage. Min and Cui both scolded in their hearts, but now the situation is stronger than people, but it is not the time to turn over old accounts.

Min Yizheng asked in a deep voice: "Lord Jin, you and I are also colleagues, although we have different positions today, but we don't need to be so tense, since you have brought someone to envoy, why don't you inform me of the purpose first?" Who is the sacred place that occupies Jeju Island? Why did they come? Ransom or ...... Also, is Shang Daoke okay? ”

"He Fang is sacred, you might as well wait and talk about it," Jin Xia Ai smiled, "Shang Daoxian's nephew is alive and kicking now, very good, Jin came to Hanyang, in fact, to see if the two adults are sincere, now it seems that the two of them are not very ...... Hehe, then Jin Mou is not welcome, so he will directly ask for the ransom, 10 million taels, and the people and the ship can be returned to you. ”

"A thousand...... Ten thousand? Min Yizheng rolled his eyes and trembled, Cui Yizheng also stood up at once, pointing at Jin Xia Ai as if he was about to scold, but his lips trembled a few times, and finally he didn't make a sound.

This number is too big, how much does North Korea earn in a year? If you save for thirty or fifty years, you may not be able to save so much silver. Although the powerful of North Korea is also richer than the imperial court, 10 million taels, even if the cabinet scholars of the Ming Dynasty are combined, they may not be able to take it!

And realized the dissatisfaction in Jin Xia's love words, Cui Yizheng, who was a little impatient, did not dare to continue to stimulate the other party, but just waited for the more serious Min Yizheng to speak.

"Lord Kim, if you don't talk darkly, you also know what the situation of North Korea is, don't say 10 million, even 1 million can't be raised, it's really not that we are insincere. Just now, the two of us were angry, and I ask you to forgive me, Mr. Kim, can you cut one or two as appropriate? ”

Jin Xiaai said proudly: "The adult who let Jin come is the person of Chrysostom, the words have been spoken, and it is absolutely impossible to cut it, but if the two of you are interested, you might as well listen to Jin's proposal." ”

"Dare to show it." Anyway, there is no one left and right, and Min and Cui can't care about face, compared to these imaginary things, the private soldiers and ships at home are the most important.

"You can't take out the money, but you can take things for your ...... For example, Jeju Island. ”

"This ......" Cui and Min glanced at each other, and they both felt a little moved.

After losing the battle, they all have the consciousness of ceding land and paying compensation, especially the occupation of Jeju Island is already a fait accompli, and there is no way to recover it if they want to recover it. It's just ...... "Since the lord has already taken possession, how dare we talk about taking it back?" Min can swear here today that the Min family will never talk about Jeju Island in the future, Lord Kim, what do you think? Since the Lord is across the ocean, does he still need these names? ”

"That's right, my Cui family can also make an oath here." Cui Yizheng also nodded busily.

Jeju Island is just a place where prisoners are exiled, except for the horses, there is nothing valuable, and if you give it up, you can give it up, you can give it up in North Pyongan Province, what is there to give up in Jeju Island?

But this can't be said in the court, it must be tolerated for the Ming Dynasty, but if the same is done for pirates, this face will not be able to pass, and it is easy to leave people talking.

"Well, the two of you have some sincerity now, but the problem of the name is what the lord emphasized, and there must be." Jin Xia loves to look at the two directly, and his eyes are stern with a little playfulness.

"Yes...... Even if the two of us advocate it, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns in this matter, but since the lord has an order, for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of North Korea......" Min Yizheng gritted his teeth and wanted to agree.

"Lord Min doesn't have to be so embarrassed, that Lord is very reasonable, how could he do such a tasteless thing as forcibly occupying other people's land?"

"Yes, yes." Min and Cui nodded while scolding in their hearts, they have all occupied, but they still have to set up the archway, it's really shameless, where did the villain come from, why is it shameless to this point?

"Jin has a proposal here, which is beneficial to both you and me." Jin Xiaai also saw that the words of the two were insincere, but he didn't care, when he met Xie Hong, with these crooked melons and cracked dates in North Korea, he only had to be played with on the applause, just like his original ...... "My lord, please speak." ”

"Lend!"

"Lending?" The two parliamentary ministers were stunned.

"That's right, it's a loan." Jin Xiaai stretched out a finger and explained: "That adult paid North Korea and then leased Jeju Island, and the land is still North Korean, but it is just for others to use temporarily." The rent is 10,000 taels a year, what is the lease period...... Hehe, it depends on the meaning of North Korea. ”

"That'...... Just lease for a thousand years? "Both ministers are good at arithmetic, and they are quick to decide.

"That's a bit long, isn't it?" These two goods are so happy, Jin Xia Ai hesitated.

"It's not long, it's not long, it's only a thousand years," Min Yizheng waved his hand again and again, and then said with some embarrassment: "Lord Kim, you also know that the North Korean side is really in economic difficulty...... What's more, the fleet will be rebuilt in the future, of course, to prevent the Japanese invaders, and it is definitely not aimed at the adult. ”

"Hahaha......" Seeing the appearance of the old political enemy, although he knew that the other party was not in awe, Jin Xia Ai was still happy in his heart, "That's good, Jeju Island will be leased for five hundred years, and then the private soldiers will be returned to you, but the North Korean naval army will be requisitioned on my side, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, okay, according to the adult's will." The two ministers nodded hurriedly and agreed, and when they saw that Jin Xia loved to get up and leave, they hesitated and asked: "Since it is a lease, there must be a name, dare to ask......"

"Let's just say it's the Royal Pirates." Jin Xia Ai said with a strange face.

"Royal?" The two ministers were also a little dazed, the pirate group hung this prefix in front, could it be that this merchant was not from the Ming Dynasty, but from the South Seas? I heard that there are many small countries there, and all of them don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth and call them emperors, and they are very shameless.

"That'...... The adult ......" Cui Yizheng plucked up the courage to ask again, he was really a little curious.

"Actually, the two of them also know the name...... You all know the results of that naval battle, the weak defeated the strong, the small hit the big, but he himself was not hurt...... Hehe, how many people in this world can have such magical powers? ”

Could it be ...... "a boat that can run fast without a sail, a fire that cannot be extinguished by water...... Thinking of the battle situation relayed by the subordinates, the backs of the two ministers were full of cold sweat, and the cold hairs on their bodies seemed to explode.

This information is really amazing, known for his vast supernatural powers, and can also claim to be royal, there is only one person in the world.

"It's good that you know, that adult doesn't want to make a noise, if you leak the news, hehe, then don't blame your fate." Jin Xia Ai didn't deny it, but just sneered and issued a warning.

"Don't dare, don't dare." The two ministers shook their heads together, and they didn't dare to say, "It's just that if that adult wants Jeju Island, why don't you directly inform North Korea, if you know that your adult wants it, how dare North Korea offend?" ”

"That's a good thing to say, didn't you go to the capital to complain in March? Although adults like to convince people with virtue, they also do not hesitate to take thunderous measures for those who don't know each other, how to say that North Korea is going to be, it depends on the two adults, Jin is waiting to listen to the good news. ”

"Yes, yes."
