Chapter 11: The Cost

"This time, General Cao led his troops to the battle, and I hope that General Cao will not only resist the soldiers and horses of Datongguo, but also launch a counterattack if he has the opportunity. The second is to keep all these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in our hands. General Cao, I hope you don't disappoint me! ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

At this time, Cao Wei no longer had the decadent atmosphere when he first met, and he was wearing a golden armor that was majestic. There was an inexplicable momentum all over his body, which seemed to be faintly in line with the 20,000 troops behind him. After Zhao Yuan said this, there was a little light in his eyes.

"Come on, carry it up!" waved to the back, and soon several people behind came over with a box and placed it in front of Cao Wei.

"Your Majesty, this is"

"General Cao might as well open it and take a look!"

"Yes!" couldn't help but be curious, and got Zhao Yuan's approval, Cao Wei gently opened a gap in the box in front of him and looked inside from the gap. Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the bottom of his eyes.

"This, this is"

"This is 20,000 taels of gold, which is enough to support the military expenses for one year before customs clearance!" Gently pressing the box and slowly closing the box, Zhao Yuan said softly, "General Cao, that's all I can do for you!" ”

"Your Majesty!" He glanced at Zhao Yuan in surprise, as if he was knowing him for the first time. Then Cao Wei fell to his knees and said loudly, "Your Majesty has such ambitions, and the ministers will live up to Your Majesty's trust!" ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for the good news from General Cao!!"

In the trading space, Zhao Yuan, who had sent Cao Wei away, was staring at the jade bi in front of him at the moment. Above, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe with a tired face was holding a trading token and constantly pondering something. There are not many people who can blatantly wear dragon robes in the world of blue blood swords!

Sure enough, this Ah Jiu still couldn't help but give the token to Emperor Chongzhen. Ah Jiu in the Blue Blood Sword is not the ignorant girl raised in the deep palace, she is one who has been trained in the rivers and lakes and knows the sufferings of the people. She knows better than anyone else that if Da Ming continues like this, it will be a matter of time before it collapses, but sooner or later!

Right now, just as Zhao Yuan said to her, if you don't give it a try, how can you know if it's an opportunity, and if you let it be an opportunity, they will seize it. Even if the other party has any conspiracy, is there anything worse than the ruin of the country?

"Is this token really as amazing as you say?"

"Father, these are all from that mysterious person, and it is not very clear whether it is a real son or not. It's just that at that time, Erchen arrived at another strange place in an instant, and when Erchen came back, he found that the time was almost the same as when Erchen left, and the magic was not enough to be humane with outsiders! ”

And looking at the other party's sworn appearance, it is indeed somewhat credible. But this kind of magic is really suspicious. So we have to guard against it, if all this is not true, then the other party must have a plan, and the plan is very big! ”

"Not bad!" Nodding, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the token in his hand again, "If all this is not true, then the owner of this token can take you away from the heavy guards without a word, and the power of the token is really terrifying!" ”

"Hehe, I still don't believe it. But that's okay, as long as you get the token, that's all you go! ”

waved his hand at Yubi, and the picture on Yubi was rippling. The sun, moon and stars above the jade emitted a misty blue light, and one of the stars became more and more brilliant with Zhao Yuan's movements, and the light seemed to be about to break through the wall.

Soon, there was a middle-aged man in a dragon robe in front of Zhao Yuan. At this time, the middle-aged man didn't seem to react, and his eyes were somewhat surprised, but soon a solemn look appeared on his face.

"Who the hell are you? What is this place? As he spoke, an inexplicable momentum came out of his body, as if he could control the whole world. In an instant, even Zhao Yuan was in a trance under this momentum.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to panic, what is this place I believe Her Royal Highness the Princess has already told Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty still want to see your majesty just now, why did you forget it so quickly?"

"Daring, what are you bringing me here, do you want to make trouble?"

"Your Majesty, I'm just here to make a deal, and I don't have any other purpose!" Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand, and Zhao Yuan said lightly, "Your Majesty, please sit down, let's talk about the transaction?" ”

"I won't make a deal with people like you, let me go if I know each other, otherwise under the pressure of the army, I will not be able to eat and walk around!"

"Your Majesty, why should you be stubborn!" Shaking his head with a chuckle, Zhao Yuan said helplessly, "The Ming army can't fight here, what's more, Your Majesty also knows in his heart how many soldiers are there in the Ming army now?" ”

"You"

"Your Majesty, what does your Majesty think of the current Ming Dynasty?" Faced with such a stubborn Emperor Chongzhen, Zhao Yuan could only start to fool.

"Hmph, what the hell are you trying to say? My country is naturally as stable as Mount Tai, even if there is a small difficulty for a while, but the accumulation of a hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the world are concerned about the Ming Dynasty, and this small difficulty will eventually be overcome. I will rise to the Ming Dynasty and bring all my enemies to my feet! ”

"Oh?" Shaking his head, Zhao Yuan said with a little suspicion: "Is this Ming world really as smooth as Your Majesty said, and the country and the people are safe?" I'm afraid not! ”

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has frequent disasters, there are many beacons in various places, the imperial court finances are exhausted, and the soldiers in various places are mixed, I am afraid that it has long been unable to encircle and suppress. What's more, there are Manchu Qing Dynasty eyeing the outside world, and the Ming Dynasty is already in danger! ”

"You are presumptuous!"

"If what I said is wrong, then why should Your Majesty be angry?" Standing up lightly, he looked at him unceremoniously, "Doesn't Your Majesty want to reorganize the rivers and mountains and sit on this Zhongxing master?" ”

"Why don't I want to, it's just that the future is going down now" After hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Emperor Chongzhen was first angry, and then sighed heavily. Obviously, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty can be seen by anyone of insight in the world.

Looking at Zhao Yuan, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes shot a gleam, and after a little contemplation, he said, "Changping said that as long as you pay enough price, you can fulfill all your wishes. I don't know what price I need to pay if I want peace in the world and long-term peace and stability in the Ming Dynasty? ”

"That's a big deal!" sighed secretly, and sure enough, this is what he said again. If he had that ability, he wouldn't have to work so hard to fool around. It's normal to be exaggerated in business. The people who sell Dianabol on the street also say that they can cure all diseases, so you can try it. But for now, we still have to stabilize the emperor in front of us first.

"If Your Majesty wants to realize his wishes, he may only have to exchange most of the country. It's just, Your Majesty, are you willing to do it? ”

"What? Is it really a bad intention? Looking at Zhao Yuan, Emperor Chongzhen's waist straightened, his eyes were not angry and arrogant, and he shouted coldly, "You are really bold!" ”

"Your Majesty, we are just a fair deal, so why should you be angry?" Raising his eyebrows, Zhao Yuan said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty asked me to say the price, which is reasonable." Since His Majesty can't afford to pay this price, then this deal will naturally not be completed. But I want to ask Your Majesty, what is Your Majesty lacking most now? ”

"The most lacking?" Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to fall into deep thought, and his face was full of helplessness for a while.

"It's money!" Looking at the hesitant look on the other party's face, Zhao Yuan laughed lightly, "Right now, what Da Ming lacks the most is enough silver taels." As long as you have money, Your Majesty will be able to regroup, you will be able to organize an army, and you will be able to organize disaster relief, and the predicament that Daming is encountering now will not be a problem! ”

"Not bad!" After taking a deep look at Zhao Yuan, Emperor Chongzhen still nodded, "Daming is in some financial difficulties now, but this is not a problem. The gentry all over the world are interested in the Ming Dynasty, and the money is naturally not a problem! ”

"Really?" Smiling lightly, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "If this is the case, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry day and night!" ”

"Since Your Majesty is short of money, then we will trade it. I just don't know what kind of price Your Majesty can offer? ”
