Chapter 12 Digging the Foot of the National Wall
"What exactly do you want?"
"Your Majesty, I have admired Lord Sun Chuanting for a long time, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to part with love?"
"What?" couldn't help but exclaim, and then Emperor Chongzhen frowned in anger, and finally said coldly, "I won't agree to this condition, you will die of this heart!" ”
Sun Chuanting is the last pillar of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and Emperor Chongzhen also knows this in his heart. What's more, if you open your mouth, you will take away the last pillar of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the brain is not a twitch, it will never agree. What's more, at this time, because of Zhao Yuan's request, Emperor Chongzhen's suspicion of him deepened a point.
Looking at Emperor Chongzhen's face, Zhao Yuan knew that this matter was out of play. However, Zhao Yuan was just a temptation, and he didn't think about really bringing this pair of loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty under his command.
"Since that's the case, then I won't force it!" Looking at the nervous face on the other side, Zhao Yuan smiled, and then said, "I asked Your Majesty for someone, I don't know if Your Majesty can agree?" ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and Emperor Chongzhen said coldly, "Who do you want?" ”
"Jiangyin Dianshi Yan Yingyuan!"
"Jiangyin Classics?" Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly a little surprised. Sun Chuanting is the pillar of the country, and it can be regarded as a big conspiracy for this person on the other side to take him away. But what is this Jiangyin classic history, at most it is the police chief of the county. For him, the emperor, it was simple, strange and distant, and he didn't care about it at all.
At this time, Yan Yingyuan is a classic history, at most he has some fame in the one-third of an acre of land in Jiangyin, and he is naturally nothing to Emperor Chongzhen. He wouldn't know what kind of famous thing Yan Yingyuan, who was appointed as the history of Jiangyin, would do a few years later.
Relying on 60,000 righteous people, facing more than 200,000 Qing army iron cavalry and more than 200 heavy artillery, they were trapped in the lonely city for 81 days. The Qing army was defeated by three kings and eighteen generals, and 75,000 people died. Such a great military feat, compared to the ancient famous generals, is not much more than that. If it weren't for the inopportune time, he would have been able to shine!
In the world of the Blue Blood Sword, since the trading token was in the hands of Ah Jiu, the princess, Zhao Yuan had already begun to worry about Daming's inheritance. The Ming Dynasty has been inherited for nearly three hundred years, but it has accumulated a lot of good things. And what is faster than digging the corners of the country.
However, at this time, the name of the Ming Dynasty is dying, and now the only pillar is Sun Chuanting. However, Zhao Yuan knew very well in his heart that the entire Ming Dynasty was now pressed on Sun Chuanting's body, and it was so difficult to get him.
Instead, Zhao Yuan thought of Yan Yingyuan, who would shine in the future, compared to Sun Chuanting, Yan Yingyuan did not fall behind at all. And it's not ambitious at the moment, it's better to get it.
"Okay, I can say yes!" After taking a deep look at Zhao Yuan, Emperor Chongzhen nodded in agreement after pondering for a while, and then asked, "But I gave what you wanted, what can I get?" ”
"Hehe, Your Majesty also said that he doesn't know how to do business, isn't that very understandable!" The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and Zhao Yuan couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face, all of this was according to his thoughts, it was simply too smooth.
"Your Majesty, since Daming is short of money now, how about sharing your Majesty's worries in this regard?"
"Okay, then how many taels of silver can you provide for me?"
"Well," he shook his head, and Zhao Yuan said slowly, "Although I can't directly provide silver taels to Your Majesty, I can do it in other ways!" ”
"Otherwise?" Frowning slightly, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help asking, "What way do you want to use?" ”
"Your Majesty can exchange gold for silver here, and I can pay the price of twenty taels of silver for one tael of gold, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"
Zhao Yuan has been thinking about this proposal for a while. The ratio of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty at this time was only one to eight or nine, but at most it was no more than one to ten. Zhao Yuan exchanged one tael of gold for twenty taels of silver, which was equivalent to doing nothing, and the price of gold and silver doubled as soon as it was poured back and forth, no matter who would agree.
In Zhao Yuan's world, the ratio of gold and silver is much larger, and one tael of gold is enough to exchange for one hundred taels of silver. As soon as he went back and forth, he directly doubled eightfold, which was really faster than robbing! ~
"Really?" Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Emperor Chongzhen was also a little excited, and couldn't help but ask, "Then how much silver can you take out?" ”
"Naturally, if Your Majesty can take out as much gold as he wants, he will be able to take out as much silver as he wants. Even if Your Majesty takes out 10 million taels of gold, you can afford to eat it below! ”
"Good, good!" couldn't help nodding, Emperor Chongzhen then said, "As long as what you said is true, then I agreed to that matter just now!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not so easy to get this money, and Your Majesty has to pay some price!"
"I knew it wasn't that simple?" Taking a deep breath, Emperor Chongzhen said slowly, "Say, what do you want?" ”
"Your Majesty, in fact, I am not greedy, I just want all the books in this palace!"
"What, you want the palace collection, it's impossible!"
"Your Majesty, as long as you have money, the Ming Dynasty can prosper in Your Majesty's hands. With just a little bit of a book, His Majesty will naturally be able to easily obtain it again. But if the Ming Dynasty is gone, Your Majesty will have nothing! ”
"You just want the palace collection?"
"Of course, that's all!"
"Okay, I agreed!"
"Your Majesty is worthy of Your Majesty, and you are really decisive enough!"
"I have agreed to your conditions, when will your conditions be fulfilled?"
"Anytime!" With a chuckle, Zhao Yuan gently pushed a contract forward, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, please sign this contract." After that, His Majesty can come here to exchange it as long as he raises gold! ”
"How can I deceive"
"Your Majesty, this is the rule!"
"Okay, okay, I've signed it!" I picked up the contract and looked at it, and the content on it was not much different from what I had just discussed. Taking a deep breath, Emperor Chongzhen pressed his handprint on the contract. On top of the white contract, a little light suddenly emanated.
Suddenly, a vague shadow appeared and fell heavily to the ground. Emperor Chongzhen subconsciously looked over and found that it was a book that fell. Immediately after that, countless books appeared out of thin air, filling the surroundings to the brim.
"This, these are the books" that suddenly appeared out of thin air, making Emperor Chongzhen stunned, and he couldn't slow down for a long time. Everything around you is empty, where did these books come from?
"It's the collection of books in His Majesty's Palace!" There was an inexplicable taste in his smile, which made Emperor Chongzhen next to him shudder.
"The contract has been made, and Your Majesty can bring gold at any time!" Looking at Emperor Chongzhen, who had not yet recovered from the shock, Zhao Yuan said softly, "By the way, Your Majesty, it will take a while for Your Majesty to raise gold. There is still a business here, but I don't know if Your Majesty will do it? ”
"Huh? Oh! What business? ”
"Population business!" Tapping the corner of the table, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "I heard that there are many elites and countless masters among the factory guards under His Majesty's command. I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to let some elites give you up! ”
"What do you want from the factory guards?" frowned tightly, who didn't know that the factory guard was the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and he was even more loyal to him, the emperor. The person in front of him who opened his mouth to ask for a factory guard, isn't he afraid that his factory guards will find out all his secrets and then report them to him, the emperor?
"Your Majesty, don't worry about it, Your Majesty just needs to say yes or no!"
"Then I wonder what your Excellency can offer?"
"Well, Your Majesty is really refreshing. But as long as the elite is in the middle, as long as it satisfies me, I can give five thousand to ten thousand taels of silver for one person! In addition, skilled craftsmen and the like can also be, and it is not impossible to have three or five thousand taels per person! ”
"Okay, I agreed!"
Faced with such conditions, Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate at all. There are more than 5,000 people in the entire Ming Dynasty alone. And the number has been increasing for two hundred years. Up to now, with the addition of temporary workers and supernumerary personnel, the number of Jinyi guards has reached more than 100,000.
If you add the East Factory, the number of people is only afraid of more. If all the people in the factory guard were exchanged for silver, not only one-tenth of them would be exchanged for silver, but it would be enough to support him to sweep the world. What's more, most of the factory guards are loyal to him and cannot betray him, which he can still guarantee. In that case, then why not agree to such a cheap pick-up.
"Your Majesty, come, sign the contract!"
