Since Zhu Gui was resting, this agreement fell into the hands of Xu Yingxu, who remained in the Acting Palace.

After he read it, he nodded, and then handed it to Xu Miaoqing, who was on tiptoe.

"Look, this is what the prince made up after you left."

Xu Miaoqing smiled, took the manuscript and read it.

"This, what does the titular lord mean?"

Xu Miaoqing raised her doubts to the Mongolian envoy.

"It's ......"

Before the Mongolian envoy finished speaking, Xu Yingxu said: "It means that although this territory is included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols are still allowed to graze here, and they are not the subjects of the Ming Dynasty and do not have to pay taxes." ”

"Is there such a reason? So what is the use of this land? No, I'm going to talk to that fool Zhu Gui, what's the use of this kind of agreement? ”

Xu Miaoqing suddenly came to her senses, and immediately took the paperwork to find Zhu Gui.

Only the somewhat embarrassed Mongolian envoy and the breezy Xu Yingxu were left.

"You go back first, since the acting king has agreed to this matter, then this matter will not change, the first day of the next month is the first market, inform the Mongolian ministries to get ready."

Xu Yingxu said to the Mongolian envoy.

"Yes."

……

"Hey, Zhu Gui, wake up, is this kind of broken agreement you came up with?"

Xu Miaoqing shook Zhu Gui and said.

"What's wrong? Was there an earthquake? ”

Zhu Gui sat up all of a sudden, almost hitting Xu Miaoqing.

"What kind of earthquake, I'm asking you what's going on?"

Xu Miaoqing took the paperwork and shook it in front of Zhu Gui.

"This is? Oh, the instrument of the 'peace agreement'? Have all the Mongolian ministries signed it? That's great. ”

Zhu Gui rubbed his eyes, yawned and said.

"What's so good? Isn't that just taking you for a fool? Xu Miaoqing saw Zhu Gui's attitude and said with some dissatisfaction.

"How can you say that? This is something you and I want, this land has a lot of treasures, and although this king is a nominal lord, he still has a lot of rights, such as building cities, building roads, and doing business. ”

Zhu Gui said with a smile.

"You mean, to build roads in the steppe, so that those Mongols get used to living in the cities?"

Xu Miaoqing quickly reacted.

"You're getting smarter." Zhu Gui said with a smile.

"Well, I'm pretty smart, okay, if it's a viable way to do it, well, yes."

The more Xu Miaoqing thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was promising.

Although the construction of the city seems to be a big project in other places, for Xu Miaoqing, who has become accustomed to the scene of thousands of people building roads in Datong Mansion, this matter is indeed very operable.

"By the way, do you plan to report this matter to the imperial court? The emperor may not understand what you are doing, and there is a clause on your document about the trade of salt and iron with the Mongols, which cannot be explained. ”

Xu Miaoqing turned to think about it for Zhu Gui.

"This is indeed a trouble, so this king intends to suppress this matter for the time being, and wait until the time is ripe." Zhu Gui nodded and said.

Now only he and King Yan know about it, and they are already brothers and sisters, and he is still very relieved about these people.

Moreover, in the future, he would send his cronies to trade salt and iron with the Mongols in private.

As for the ripe time he mentioned, it was naturally a battle of martyrdom.

"Okay, since you've already thought about it, I won't worry about you, by the way, what do you want to eat at noon? I'll ask someone to help you prepare. ”

Xu Miaoqing said suddenly.

"Huh? All right. ”

Zhu Gui was a little surprised by Xu Miaoqing's sudden thoughtfulness, but he still said a few dishes casually.

If he hadn't been so busy lately, he would have liked to treat himself to cooking himself.

For now, he just wants to get some more sleep.

……

In the afternoon, Zhu Gui was woken up by Xu Miaoqing again.

"It's time to get up, it's time to eat."

"Oh, got it, wait for me."

Zhu Gui got dressed in a daze, washed up, and then came to the restaurant.

Zhu Di was already sitting there, but his face was a little strange, as if he was talking to Xu Miaoqing just now, and when he saw Zhu Gui coming in, he didn't continue.

Zhu Gui was a little strange: "What's wrong?" What about General Xu? ”

"He's back in the barracks." Xu Miaoqing said.

"Oh, let's eat first, I've slept for too long, I'm really hungry."

Zhu Gui didn't notice that the few people present didn't move their chopsticks, he served the meal first, and then ate it.

"This fish looks good, it's different from the last time, is there a new chef in the house?"

Zhu Gui picked up a piece of fish meat and said.

No one spoke.

As soon as the fish meat was eaten, Zhu Gui's face instantly became strange.

Is this fish from the Dead Sea? Why is it so salty? And it's very fishy, as if the internal organs haven't been removed.

"How? I cooked it for you under the guidance of the chef. ”

Xu Miaoqing said expectantly.

So that's the case, no wonder Zhu Di didn't move his chopsticks, it seems that he has seen it.

"Ahem, well done, don't use it next time."

Zhu Gui swallowed the piece of fish raw, and said with the feeling of wanting to spit it out.

"What are these words, I've finally been cooking, is that your attitude? Try this again. ”

Xu Miaoqing sandwiched some more vegetables and put them in Zhu Gui's bowl.

Zhu Gui looked at Zhu Di on the side with a pleading look.

"This king suddenly remembered that the cavalry outside the city still needed to buy some grain and grass, and this king went to the Chamber of Commerce."

Without waiting for Zhu Gui to speak, Zhu Di left quickly.

……

Zhu Gui didn't remember how he escaped from Xu Miaoqing's clutches.

The first thing he did when he walked out of the restaurant was to go to the kitchen and tell all the chefs that the princess was not allowed to cook by herself in the future, otherwise they would be deducted half a year's salary.

Then he went to the county guard mansion to find Zhang Mao and ask him about the progress of the martial arts competition.

The subordinates in the county guard mansion were already busy, and Zhang Mao's roar could be heard from time to time.

Zhu Gui was almost hit by a few subordinates, which couldn't help but make him wonder what was going on here.

When he came to the living room, he saw Zhang Mao talking loudly to his master.

"Zhang Junshou, why are you fighting like a war here?"

Zhu Gui said loudly.

When Zhang Mao heard the voice, he immediately greeted him.

"Lord Wang, why are you here?" Zhang Mao instantly changed into a smiling face.

"This king is here to ask how the preparations for the tournament are."

Zhu Gui came to the table and found that the paper manuscripts here were already half a person high.

Zhang Mao said with some embarrassment: "It's almost ready, only the prize is set up, but the treasury is a little empty......

When Zhu Gui heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, since it is held in the name of the Wangfu, the money will be paid by the Wangfu." ”
