The elephant swayed lazily through the trees, the leaves rustling around it from its massive body. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ming soldiers standing on the side of the road under the trees had their waists straight, and the spears in their hands emitted a chilling glow in the sun, which was in stark contrast to the lazy and leisurely elephants.

Ye Yingwu couldn't help but shake his head, although he couldn't see his figure, but the laughter from time to time in the woods showed that Wei'er and Huiniang's two girls were fine. Those Zhenla officials who took refuge in the Ming Dynasty had a heart, this sycophant shot very accurately, and a well-behaved elephant was sent over, and soon captured the favor of the princess and the county lord, so that when Ye Yingwu looked at a few of them, he was not too embarrassed to be ruthless, and even for the sake of their previous surrender, he also rewarded him heavily and made his official position in his original position.

Anyway, there are six doors and people from the Jinyi Guard staring, and there will be a Yushitai to supervise the Yushi in the future, but I am not afraid that these people can make any trouble, after all, they are the ones who surrendered, and they must have a little self-knowledge in their hearts, so they will naturally clamp their tails and be people.

"Since Hui Niang taught Wei'er to study, these two have been tired of being together every day, and they are almost inseparable from each other." Zhao Yunshu said with emotion as he walked forward.

Ye Yingwu laughed and said, "These two girls just smell the same." What's more, how many confidants can there be in this deep palace compound? Although the difference between the two of them is ten years old, they are still young after all, and they naturally can't get together with old husbands and wives like you and me. ”

Zhao Yunshu glared at Ye Yingwu fiercely, but when he saw Ye Yingwu taking the initiative to stand in front to shield himself from the sun, his heart was warm, and he didn't want to blame him anymore, so he met Ye Yingwu's gaze and said seriously: "Husband, to be honest, Hui Niang is almost twenty-eight years old, and the age of the cardamom branch has passed. This time, let Hui Niang follow her husband to the south, and the mother thought that it would mean this. ”

After a moment of silence, Ye Yingwu sighed: "There are so many affairs in Nanyang that are a headache, even if you and you don't have time to make love for a few days, where can you have the kung fu to settle this wild girl, isn't this forcing a certain person to do his best and die." ”

"That's nice." Zhao Yunshu said a little helplessly, "Let's see how you explain to your mother when the time comes." ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned, and looked up at the scattered branches above his head and the sunshine spilling down: "It's not simple. ”

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yingwu arched his hand in a dignified manner: "Back to my mother, the child goes all the way south, not to mention the busy affairs, Shu'er is even more charming and obsessed, although the child sings every night・・・・・・"

Looking at Ye Yingwu with a flushed face, Zhao Yunshu didn't say anything, his husband has not been in shape for a day or two, and he has long been accustomed to it.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, a large number of jewels have been found in the northwest corner of the Zhenla Palace, and Commander Jiang does not dare to dispose of it, so he specially ordered his subordinates to come and report it." A soldier came running briskly and bowed.

"Jewelry collection?" Ye Yingwu raised his eyebrows, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

As the first power in the South Seas, Zhenla has dominated the South Seas for many years, and controls the sea channel from the West to Quanzhou, so it is natural to gather the wealth of the South Seas.

Moreover, these days to loot the treasury of various countries in the South Seas, Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai are also well-informed, and they can shock these two guys who only know how to rush forward with a big sword, which shows that the quantity and quality of the jewelry are indeed rare in the world.

The sealed door was pushed open, and when he saw the scene in the room for the first time, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but gasp, and Zhao Yunshu subconsciously grabbed his sleeve.

The palace of Chenla is not big, but the design of this house is also unremarkable, but who would have thought that this is actually just an entrance to a new world. A staircase leads to the ground, you can clearly see a row of shelves, looking at thirty or forty of them, each shelf is two feet high, two or three zhang long, neatly placed, and on the shelves, countless gold and silver jewelry, or neatly packed in boxes, or directly piled up on the shelves.

When Ye Yingwu walked slowly into this huge basement, he realized that he still underestimated this room, not only so many shelves, but also a full ten treasure chests on the other side, the soldiers who had come before had already pried open the treasure chest, although the treasure chest was rusty and dilapidated, but it contained a pile of gold coins that flashed with dazzling light.

What's even more surprising is that on one side of the treasure chest, there is also a small shelf, on which the small box is still brand new and has been opened, it is the huge night pearl in this box, so that half of the basement can be illuminated without torches.

In the humid air in the basement, only the wheezing sounds of Ye Yingwu and Zhao Yunshu remained.

Jiang Tie walked down the steps briskly and said respectfully: "Your Highness, what should be done with these jewels?" ”

Ye Yingwu's hands trembled a little, and he gently stroked the jewels on the shelf that were enough to make the sun and moon dull, and was silent for a long time before he said softly: "I will do everything I can to get rid of it, enrich the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and select high-quality gems and jadeites in it to fill the court." ”

Just as Jiang Tie was about to call the soldiers to carry it, Zhao Yunshu suddenly spoke: "Wait." ”

"Huh?" Ye Yingwu looked at her in some surprise.

The girl found something, tiptoe a little hard to take down an unopened brocade box on the shelf, the surface of the brocade box was covered with a layer of dust for I don't know how many years, but the girl didn't care, just silently glanced at the golden lock hanging on the brocade box, and then hugged it tightly in her arms, her voice trembling with an unconcealable trembling:

"But ・・・・・・ do."

Ye Yingwu looked at it with some astonishment, although it was separated by a layer of dust, but he could vaguely see the well-made silk wrapped outside the brocade box, and of course the jewelry inlaid on it, all of which were excellent, and what really attracted attention was that on the side of the brocade box, the gold thread was embroidered into a word of dragon and phoenix dance, even if it was dust, it was difficult to cover the light.

"Song?" Ye Yingwu read it softly.

――――――――――――――――――

The dust on the brocade box has been gently wiped off, since putting this brocade box on the table, Zhao Yunshu's gaze has never left, if it wasn't for Ye Yingwu to stop him, Zhao Yunshu would have found something to pry open the rusty lock on it.

Carefully sharpening a wire and bending it, Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, carefully put the wire into the lock, and after a while, he heard a soft sound, and the lock had popped open. Ye Yingwu shrugged his shoulders, only in this way can he keep the entire brocade box as it is to the greatest extent, if he takes out the saw and saws directly according to the ideas of those embryo killers outside the door, it is possible for the jade to be burned.

Blowing the rust and dust on the wire, Ye Yingwu took off the lock, Zhao Yunshu hurriedly stretched out his hand and cautiously opened the brocade box, and the light of gold and jade was already in front of him. The jade book of the Central Plains Dynasty canonized the vassal state was lying in the brocade box, although it has experienced the vicissitudes of the years, but it is still silently telling the past of a former dynasty.

"Three years of Jianyan? Gojong's era name. Ye Yingwu's eyes flashed with a fine light, he had seen a lot of treasures in his previous life, but he had really never seen this jade album of Song Gaozong's canonization of Zhenla in the third year of Jianyan, and even because of the weakening of the national strength of the Song Dynasty and the great reduction in the number of vassal states, there were relatively few of these things sent out, and the nature that could be handed down was even more precious.

Of course, that was for Ye Yingwu in his previous life, he had already seen too many storms and clouds in the era of seven hundred years ago, Ye Yingwu hadn't put this small jade book in his eyes, but he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If the country is rich and strong, then the surrounding small countries will flock to your scolding; The country is poor and weak, and even if the village is a vassal of the city, it can disobey you.

Zhao Yunshu held the small jade book and was silent, while Ye Yingwu sighed softly, leaned back in the chair and said in a deep voice: "The halberd is sinking into the sand and the iron has not been sold, and the grinding will be washed to recognize the previous dynasty." Put it back, the things of the previous dynasty, leave them ominous. ”

Not daring to refute Ye Yingwu, Zhao Yunshu put the jade book back in the box, stood up and walked to Ye Yingwu's side, hesitated for a moment and then squatted down and gently pounded his leg.

Ye Yingwu was startled, but he held it back, reached out and patted the brocade box, and sighed a little helplessly: "You know that I don't want you to have too much nostalgia for the past." I don't want Wei'er to see this thing. And the harem now seems to be getting along with your sisters, but no one can say for sure in the future, Shu'er, you have to think clearly, this will sometimes cost people's lives. ”

"Husband." Zhao Yunshu raised his head, his eyes full of pleading.

Shaking his head more and more firmly, Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand to help Zhao Yunshu up: "I have made up my mind, it's useless to say anything, this thing is kept here first, if you want to see it, you can ask for someone's opinion, but don't think about any small moves." You girl is sometimes a goblin, sometimes she is stubborn, and she is really afraid that you will do something stupid. ”

Zhao Yunshu bowed slightly, and glanced at the brocade box with some reluctance.

And Xiao Yangzi walked in quickly: "Your Highness, the express sent by Jiangnan." ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned, hurriedly took the chapter, opened it, and couldn't help frowning: "Zhao Wenyi asked the Mongolian Tartars to compensate three million taels of silver?" Could it be that Wen Songrui and the others are all confused, at this time, it is really a stupid move to find Mongolian Tatars to compensate for the matter of Chenzhou. ”

"Three million taels of silver is a lot of money, and the Mongolian side agreed, that is, their taxes are three million taels less, which is a good thing, how can the husband talk about stupidity?" Zhao Yunshu suddenly looked at Ye Yingwu with some surprise, the gold and silver jewelry found in the basement just now is estimated to be three or four hundred taels, and that is the rare treasure that Zhenla has collected for many years to conquer the world, and it is also the hard work of the kings of Zhenla, and now Zhao Wenyi has the ability to bite down three million taels in one bite, which is definitely very cost-effective.

Stretching out his hand and gently tapping on the table, Ye Yingwu shook his head with a wry smile: "Let's come up and ask for the price, in fact, it is equivalent to Daming himself softening, three million taels of silver, on the surface, it seems that the Mongolian Tartars have exchanged this for the peace of Chenzhou, but in fact, it is for the Mongolian Tartars to explore the reality of the Ming Dynasty in Huaibei." According to the previous style of the Ming Dynasty, the attack is invincible, invincible, and there is no reason to attack the city without siege and enter the city to negotiate, not to mention that this time it is the most elite Tianwu army of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What does the husband mean that the Mongolian Tartars reached out to ask for money through the Daming Fire, and they have seen through the fact that the Ming Dynasty is very weak in Huaibei?" Zhao Yunshu suddenly realized, although she didn't know much about military affairs, Ye Yingwu had already said it very clearly, and it was impossible not to understand it.

Ye Yingwu nodded helplessly: "What I meant was to send Zhao Wenyi to teach the Mongolian Tartars a good lesson, and then throw off their sleeves and leave, the Mongolian Tartars were forced to be in a hurry, and it was impossible to fight with us in Chenzhou, even if they really fought, they were not the opponents of the Tianwu Army and the Lianghuai Army, and in the end, in order to keep Chenzhou, they would definitely take the initiative to stand up for peace talks, and this time it was the wish of the Mongolian Tartars." ”

Zhao Yunshu smiled lightly: "The husband should also be considerate of the ministers in the court, after all, the Mongolian Tatars are the most powerful opponents of the Ming Dynasty, and now that the husband is in Nanyang, you ministers should not want to watch the two countries move into war at such a critical juncture, so you should be able to understand the urgency." ”

Looking at the words on the chapter, Ye Yingwu chuckled: "But at least Zhao Wenyi and they still have a little brain, and they finally killed the prestige of the Mongolian Tartars." This time, on the surface, it was indeed Da Ming who took advantage, and the three million taels of silver were in hand, which was better than nothing. Promised three million taels of silver at once, which is enough for the Mongolian Tatars to make trouble for a while, and Shi Tianze, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to tide over the difficulties, even if Kublai Khan understands his hardships and knows that it is difficult for anyone to do well, he must also consider how to give an explanation to the officials and the people of the government and the opposition. ”

"How can you monopolize the cheapness of the world, not to mention that this time it is the Ming Dynasty who takes advantage, but not as much as before, Kublai Khan did not shift your attention from the South Seas to the North by virtue of this matter, and it can be regarded as stealing chickens and rice." Zhao Yunshu said with a little reproach.

Ye Yingwu muttered: "Three million taels, plus the amount from Zhenla, is not a lot at all, that matter has been thinking about it in my heart for so long, it's time to do it, Shu'er, grind." ”

Zhao Yunshu was stunned, hurriedly scooped up the water and sprinkled it on the inkstone, and then put the best Hui ink into it and grind it carefully. Ye Yingwu pondered for a moment, spread out a blank piece of paper, and lifted the pen but did not move.

"What's wrong?" has been by Ye Yingwu's side for a long time, and many things in the study are cleaned up by her, Zhao Yunshu knows her husband's character very well, and is completely opposite to the lazy and unorthodox appearance in the back house, Ye Yingwu has always been vigorous and resolute when dealing with government affairs, and the things he decides generally do not give Wen Tianxiang and others a chance to refute.

But it is rare to see Ye Yingwu hesitate today.

Ye Yingwu slowly put down the pen and looked at Zhao Yunshu: "Shu'er, the people who work for a while, have the wealth of the world, do you think such a thing should be done?" ”

After being silent for a moment, Zhao Yunshu picked up the pen again and handed it to Ye Yingwu with ink, looking at Ye Yingwu solemnly: "Husband." ”

Although there are only two words, everything is in plain sight. Facing the girl's trusting gaze, Ye Yingwu laughed, took the pen directly, and wrote two words on the white paper. Zhao Yunshu looked over with some curiosity, and his expression changed slightly: "Does the husband really plan to do this?" ”

Ye Yingwu glanced at the two words on the paper and nodded solemnly: "Although the Daimyo has not yet decided the world, with the occupation of Nanyang by the Ming Dynasty and the transportation of goods from Quanzhou, Lin'an and other coastal towns to the interior, the original road to Fujian and Guangnan has been overwhelmed. ”

"Straight." Zhao Yunshu read out the two words written by Ye Yingwu, "Husband, at the beginning, Zulong caused Qin II to die because of the loss of money and labor, and now that Husband has rebuilt the straight road, aren't you afraid that those scholars and people will object?" ”

Tapping lightly on the table, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "First of all, unlike Zu Long, these two batches of nearly seven million taels of silver in his hands now, plus the allocation from the treasury, can at least build from Quanzhou to Lingnan or Jiangnan." In addition, I believe that those businessmen should be quite familiar this time, and they can have the ability to stand at the top of the business field, which means that they naturally have this vision to see what the straight road can bring them, and it is enough to think about it. ”

Zhao Yunshu paced back and forth in front of Ye Yingwu, and said softly: "But the loss of money is secondary, and the more important thing is to work for the people, where does the husband plan to find so many laborers?" (To be continued.) )
