Chapter 676: See the Dragon in the Field
Of course, Aiqing had to send someone to discuss these specific matters with Lu Jing and Chen Wenqi.
If you have a war horse, you naturally have to bring your own, after all, you Yanyun's war horse has more horses than the horses in our major horse farms......
I am also gracious to open the Shunfeng port, everything is handled by you, and the trade with Dongying is also up to you, you are the governor of Yanyun, this is all your power.
Of course, I also want to help you, but it's a pity that the current expenditure of the imperial court is too large, and it cost tens of millions of silver just to recover the tailwind, so I also have more than enough heart but not enough strength.
I also hope that Aiqing will make your overseas trade as big as inter-market trade, so I need Aiqing's help to subsidize our treasury...... Yunyun, Qin this.
Li Wanjiang was so generous, which was beyond Xiao Chen's reasoning, but it was expected by Chen Jisheng.
If Xiao Chen, you used to be a hidden dragon in the abyss, and now you have seen the dragon in the field, revealing the beginning and the end, and showing part of the prototype.
Li Wanjiang doesn't dare or is unwilling to be tough with you, so he can only adopt this kind of gentle strategy.
Of course, this has a lot to do with your 'terminally ill' and 'imminent death'.
He thought that you Xiao Chen would die within three years, so he thought about trying to drain your essence and blood before you died.
As soon as you Xiao Chen dies, no matter how the situation in Yanyun County develops, don't you still have to go back to the palm of his hand?
Xiao Chen's ability to do business Li Wanjiang has already seen it, not to mention anything else, just the tens of thousands of war horses, cattle and sheep transported from Northern Xinjiang have solved the problem of how many times Da Zhou has!
Without Xiao Chen's strong support, the battle between Minzhou and Tianxuanhui may not be so smooth.
In that case, why don't you soothe him and call him?
Xiao Chen's guy is another smooth donkey, as long as you touch him comfortably, pull up the grinding plate and run fast.
When the time comes, won't the massive amount of gold and silver he earned end up flowing into my pocket?
Li Wanjiang's wishful thinking, Chen Jisheng had already figured it out to him!
But of course, although the emperor is not stingy, Xiao Chen can't be stupid and generous.
First of all, the establishment of 70,000 people must be resigned, and it is said that there will be no defense, and you don't say that you have understood both Dongying and Northern Xinjiang?
In that case, what do you want 70,000 people to do?
It can't be to prevent me, right?
Therefore, Li Wanjiang's will must not be taken as ordered...... But you can't help but receive it, what if Li Wanjiang is 'kind' to transfer troops over again?
That's self-defeating.
Echoing the emperor, 70,000 soldiers and horses are a little too much, and the ministers do not have Han Xin's ability to point more soldiers, the better, saying that 30,000 or 20,000 ministers can barely fiddle and fiddle and don't understand, if 70,000 people, it will be difficult to be a dead minister.
Besides, the financial situation of my Yanyun County is not good at present, and it is stretched thin everywhere, and the minister can't afford such a huge military expenditure.
Just ask the emperor to allow 30,000 city defense troops, military salaries or something, the ministers will do their best, and let the various states and counties share a little, it will be enough to be so-so, but I don't dare to ask the court for money anymore.
But although Yanyun's financial situation is not good at present, the minister can guarantee that in the near future, the minister will definitely work hard to earn a lot of silver!
At that time, he will definitely give a lot of offerings to the court, so that the treasury will be abundant, and the emperor will be relieved.
As for the war horses, the ministers don't need much, and the trade can still be used by our Great Zhou, after all, our Great Zhou has not completely completed the great cause of unification now, and we need these war horses more than us.
When the cattle and sheep are fattened in autumn, the ministers will also give a batch to the emperor......
As for the minister's little illness, I really don't dare to worry about the emperor, and the emperor's Hongfu is now much better, and he can get out of bed and walk on his own and go to the thatched house in person.
Please rest assured.
When there are more ministers, they will definitely enter Beijing to meet the emperor...... I mainly want the emperor.
Dogs and horses are still in love with the master, and what about the ministers?
In addition, the minister knew that the emperor liked to eat barbecue, so he specially ordered someone to choose a hundred three-year-old fat sheep for you, and the sauce prepared by the minister himself was also served.
Just ask the emperor, your ministers and I are so sensible, are you happy in your heart?
Li Wanjiang didn't know if he was happy or not, but all the concubines in the harem were very happy.
Because Xiao Chen also gave them a generous gift, as the official of the West Factory.
It's not that things are very valuable, they are nothing more than canned fruits that have just been produced, all kinds of sweets, bread and biscuits, and a lot of Western-style Roster products, and women like these novelty things, especially the perfume of Rose...... It's too fragrant, isn't it?
Of course, there are also gifts for the princes and ministers in the court, which makes the big guys quite happy.
It's really a good Lord Xiao, every time he fights with someone and gets the spoils of war, he will not forget to give everyone a piece of the pie.
This is called everyone who has money to earn, everyone who has money to make money, and sensible open the door to sensible...... Sensible at home!
At least on the surface, Xiao Chen has done it perfectly.
Yanyun County is now highly autonomous, and Kinoshita Yoshiro finally understood what Ye Baiqing said at the beginning, "There is only one boss in Yanyun County." ’
They were also about to go back to report on their work, and asked Xiao Chen to appoint a messenger to go back with him, and the implication was that they wanted Xiao Chen to go there in person.
Xiao Chen couldn't go, at least not now.
His relationship with Dongying is already intimate enough, and it would not be appropriate to visit Emperor Shenzhao in person.
It seems that he can only trouble Bai Qing to go once, and Bai Qing is completely able to represent himself.
There were more than 100 members of the mission led by Ye Baiqing, which showed that Xiao Chen attached great importance to this visit.
But Xiao Chen can only be in his own name, because he Xiao Chen can't represent Da Zhou, and there is no emperor's will.
However, Kinoshita Yoshiro didn't care, and happily promised, saying that if Xiao Chenjun had any scruples about this, the mission could also go in the name of a merchant group or a non-governmental friendship group, and no matter what, we would receive it with a high standard.
But he hoped that Xiao Chen could send a general over, because there were still some issues to discuss in terms of military cooperation between the two sides.
"Kinoshita-kun, this is not good, without the approval of the Great Zhou Emperor, I cannot negotiate any form of military cooperation with you." Xiao Chen: This is actually an excuse.
Through this joint operation, as well as business cooperation, he has tied up the interests of Yanyun and Dongying, and to put it mildly, everyone is now an ant on a rope.
No matter whether the Rus people or the Great Zhou soldiers attack Yanyun, the Dongying side will never stand idly by and will definitely try their best to help.
In that case, why talk to them so carefully?
If you formally form an alliance and sign a contract with it, you must leave something in writing, which will not benefit Xiao Chen at all, and may even become a handle for yourself in the hands of the Dongying people.
Then it will not be able to establish a 'friendly' relationship with Ross in the future, and it will also cause Li Wanjiang's dissatisfaction and vigilance.
With Xiao Chen's shrewdness, it is impossible to do such a useless thing.
