Chapter Seventy-Three: Silver [3]

As soon as the two words silver were spoken, Wu Fu's eyes lit up, and his attitude changed suddenly. "Sit."

Someone immediately moved the chair over, and Wu Fu said, "Let's talk about it, how do you talk about it?" ”

Tang Yin said: "At least you can't take our prince for a fool." ”

Wu Fu said: "Okay, what do you princes want? ”

Tang Yin smiled slightly and said, "You should know, why did our prince come here from Beijing so far?" ”

"Yes." Wu Fu said. Even if the magistrate was very concerned about the dynamics in Beijing, the matter of Zhu Houhuang's feudal feud was also a major event, sending a vassal king to a wild land. It's something that hasn't happened since the time of Taizu. Of course, for such a period of time, Wu Fu and Luo Lun have been fighting hard. Didn't pay too much attention, it's true.

Tang Yin said: "Everyone said that our prince was assigned. In fact, it is our prince who is eloquent and wants to turn Dongyong into the king's land. ”

"Dongyong, where is it?" Wu Fu.

"Dongyong is the Ryukyu Island across the sea." Tang Yin said.

"Ryukyu Island." Wu Fu silently recited the name, suddenly figured out something, and even leaned back and said, "I see." ”

can mix with political envoys in the officialdom, Wu Fu is not a stupid person. As soon as he pondered slightly, he knew what Zhu Houhuang wanted. Dongyong, which is where Ryukyu Island is located. Wu Fu has been a political envoy in Fujian for so many years, and he also understands Dongyong. If you want to start construction in Dongyong, the best support is to come to Fujian. And as the political envoy of Fujian. Wu Fu has a lot of resources.

"What does King Yong want?" Wu Fu relaxed his spirit and said, "Say, I can do it, and I will never refuse." ”

"Really?" Tang Yin said: "I don't think it's what our King Yong wants, but what you can do for my Royal Highness, so that Your Highness can pay you this military salary." It's not our Highness who is in a hurry now. ”

Wu Fu glared at Tang Yin fiercely and said, "What a Tang Bohu." Then he shook his hand and left.

Tang Yin was not flustered at all, and tasted the tea leisurely. After a while, a thin old man walked in. With gray hair and a goatee, he said, "It's Master Wu, and I'm here to meet Mr. Tang." ”

Tang Yin smiled slightly, knowing that this thing had already been done.

As an important minister of the court with a head and a face, he will never come forward in person for such a transaction, but let his subordinates come forward to handle it. This has always been the norm. There are twists and turns in this, and it is not that the literati will not be too clear. It's obviously a means of scraping the bottom skin. There are also archways that are hung up with honesty and integrity. Obviously, he loves money like his life, and he wants money instead of life, and he has to pretend to be upright.

This person is Wu Fu.

Several hours passed. Tang Yin is back.

The cause of this mutiny was that Luo Lun asked Wu Fu for a bribe of 3,000 taels of silver, and Wu Fu felt that he would not stay in Fujian for long, and he was about to take office in Zhejiang. Therefore it is not given. Luo Lun wanted to clean up Wu Fu, so there was a mutiny of Fuzhou Sanwei. When Tang Yin was bargaining with Wu Fu's master, Wu Fengyi was not idle, but after a while, he understood the causes and consequences of the mutiny clearly.

"It seems that this Wu Fulai is a clean official?" Zhu Houhuang said.

"Nope." Wu Fengyi said: "According to the minister's understanding, he also bribed Luo Lun before, but this year he swallowed all the filial piety alone. ”

"Hmph." Zhu Houhuang snorted coldly, no matter what, Zhu Houhuang is surnamed Zhu, if Wu Fu is a good official, a clean official. It's not impossible to help Wu Fu a little. It's just that when I heard that the truth was this, I only felt a little unappetizing for a while. Immediately, he no longer felt guilty about what he had done, turned his head and asked Tang Yin, "Mr. Tang, how did you talk to Wu Fu's master?" ”

Tang Yin said: "Wu Fu promised a lot of things, first, the ships of Fuzhou Sanwei, together with the sailors, were assigned to His Royal Highness. ”

Zhu Houhuang asked: "Are there many ships in Fuzhou Sanwei?" ”

"A little, but not too much. There are about dozens of ships, all seagoing vessels. Tang Yin said: "This point, you need to check it one by one, as well as the sailors." Together with the sailor's family. ”

Zhu Houhuang nodded, in Dongyong, no matter how many sea ships there are, it is not too much.

"Second, 200,000 stone of grain. Nothing is ready-made, though. "If there were 200,000 stone of grain available and the grain was distributed to the rebels of Fuzhou Sanwei, this rebellion would have been quelled long ago." However, there is an IOU from the Fujian political envoy, with the imperial court seal on it. ”

This thing is dispensable. Zhu Houhuang frowned slightly and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"There are also the rebels of Fuzhou Sanwei, all of whom are assigned to Dongyong." Tang Yin said.

At this point, Zhu Houhuang stood up suddenly, and he immediately realized that it was different from what he thought, Wu Fu had money, but he was not willing to simply quell the mutiny, but wanted to uproot Fuzhou Sanwei, and said: "How many people are there in Fuzhou Sanwei?" And what exactly does Wu Fu want to do? ”

Zhu Houhuang is the most coveted by the population, in fact, he has been thinking about where to get some population along the way, only with sufficient population, Dongyong can have the possibility of development. But I don't want a pie to fall from the sky. He also paid too much attention to the population, and then he thought about what a big move it was to distribute all the three guards in Fuzhou.

"The Taizu system has 5,200 people per guard. There are three guards in Fuzhou, adding up to more than 10,000 people. Including the rest of the family, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people in total. Tang Yin said. Although it is only an estimate, it is not far from ten.

After Zhu Houhuang heard this, he was first excited, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people, which is enough for him to build in advance, but Zhu Houhuang is not a fool, and said: "What does Wu Fu want to do? ”

Mutiny has never been an uncommon thing in the Ming Dynasty, and it has always been self-condemnation, and the rest is never taken care of. A chaotic person like Fuzhou Sanwei is just a beheading of the leader for public display, and the rest of the money and food are distributed. Zhu Houhuang thought with his toes and knew that there was a problem inside.

Tang Yin's eyes showed a hint of contempt and said, "He wants to make another profit." The silver lent to him by His Royal Highness, he did not want to give it to Fuzhou Sanwei, but to use it to transfer the town of Dongwei to quell the rebellion. As long as there is silver, there are soldiers. After quelling the rebellion, he consulted with the commander of Fuzhou Sanwei and sent all the people of Fuzhou Sanwei to His Royal Highness, and he and the commander of Fuzhou Sanwei divided the land of Fuzhou Sanwei. ”

"What about Fuzhou Sanwei?" Zhu Houhuang asked.

"Fuzhou Sanwei is still there, the commanders of Fuzhou Sanwei are here, and in the eyes of the imperial court, Fuzhou Sanwei is still there." Tang Yin said.

"Shameless." Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but slap it on the table. Zhu Houhuang can't wait to slash Wu Fu with a knife, what kind of person is this? Although this was very beneficial to him, Zhu Houhuang was very sympathetic to the soldiers of Fuzhou Sanwei. During this time, because he inquired clearly, although Fuzhou Sanwei went to the streets, there were also lawbreakers who took the opportunity to loot, but in general, the rebellious soldiers of Fuzhou Sanwei did not wash the city. Probably because Fuzhou Sanwei has lived near Fuzhou for nearly a hundred years, he has long become a native of Fujian, and the villagers don't want to offend too much.

Also, Wu Fu hopes that the king can set up a line for him and divide the land of Fuzhou Sanwei into Luo Lun. It can be regarded as making amends, so that he can go to Zhejiang to take office in peace. Tang Yin said.

"Hmph." Zhu Houhuang said without yin or yang: "Why should Lone listen to him? ”

"Thirty thousand taels. Only 30,000 taels. Tang Yin said: "Wu Fu only needs His Royal Highness 30,000 taels of silver, and these 30,000 taels of silver Wu Fu will use them to persuade Zhendongwei to send troops." The Clipper arrived overnight. And Your Highness, after this incident, you have a friendship with Fujian officials, and it will be much easier to do things in the future. ”

Zhu Houhuang frowned and said, "Thirty thousand taels is not much?" Wu Fu is not a clean official, he won't even be able to take out 30,000 taels. Where did all his money go? ”

Tang Yin said: "The minister doesn't know where Wu Fu's money goes, but he knows that his position as a political envoy in Zhejiang is not for nothing. ”

Zhu Houhuang closed his eyes and said secretly: "What should I do?" What to do? ”
