Chapter 277 The Wonders of Chongzhen for More Than Two Hundred Years
? Chapter 277 The wonders of Chongzhen for more than two hundred years
When Wu Yanran learned who sent her at this moment, it was the afternoon of the next day, Cui Tan came over in person and comforted her a few words, of course, by the way, he also told her the news. Since the Cui family plans to rely on Wu Yanran to get himself out of this matter, his attitude towards Wu Yanran is naturally very "cordial and kind", as for whether Wu Yanran will go or stay, when to go or how long to stay, it all depends on Wu Yanran herself, so many days of "landlord friendship" have been exhausted, and I don't care about a few more days.
However, Pyongyang's military situation can't be treated so calmly, Cui Tan feels that it is necessary to remind Mrs. Yu that it is not necessary to use their own contact methods to contact that there is no danger to the other party in this Seoul, this big thing is not necessary, the matter is big, that is something that neither family wants to see.
Because of this reason, Cui Tan turned a blind eye to the personal guards of Mrs. Yu who suddenly appeared in Cui's mansion last night, he was only slightly annoyed, it seems that his son is still not stable enough to do things, and he didn't even have a clear backhand to do it, and this kid still has to go through more experience and experience to become successful.
To tell the truth, when Wu Yanran heard the news, she was still flustered, this is completely different from what she thought, in her speculation, this assassin must have been sent by the political enemies of the Cui family, but she didn't expect that a eunuch from the Ming Dynasty came out of the circle.
"What do you mean? Do you think of this thing as if it were written on the sand, and wipe it out with a casual stroke? "With Wu Yanran's understanding of the North Korean officials, even if the Ming Dynasty doesn't care about them anymore, these North Koreans are also like grandfathers for the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty, and it is not realistic to expect this Cui Tan to go to the dead eunuch in anger.
In fact, this Korean people are really so virtuous, looking at the various vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty used the same era name, only North Korea is a wonder, the history of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen died in 17 years, but the Korean brothers were stunned to use Chongzhen's year name to Chongzhen for more than 200 years, which is also a wonder in the modern history of the world.
"Where's Mrs. Yu?" Cui Tan said with some embarrassment: "If there is no real evidence, accusing a father-in-law of the Celestial Empire, I am afraid that our king is not allowed!" ”
"In other words, as long as this Dou Gonggong is happy, he can still be afraid of these guys who are not afraid of death one after another, and you, Lord Cui, can't help anything except stare dryly on the side!?"
"Madame can rest assured, even if he can't conflict with Dou's father-in-law head-on, Cui still has the ability to protect his wife, but the army of the honored husband, can you go back to Pyongyang, the pressure on the old man's side is very great, such news can't be suppressed by the old man for long, if there is really such news breaking out again, it will inevitably be taken by Dou's father-in-law, and when the time comes, it will really make it difficult for the old man to do."
"I don't worry, however, I won't embarrass Lord Cui, I'll leave tonight, but as soon as the concubine arrived in Seoul this time, she was invited here by Ling Lang, and she didn't do anything that should be done, so she went back empty-handed, and the concubine was really unwilling!"
That's the condition.
Wu Yanran's meaning is very clear, this matter can indeed be easily erased by her like words written on the sand, but you can't pay no price at all, there is a debtor and a debtor, although you are not my creditor, but you must always bear some responsibility for what happened in your yard!
"Madame, please say, if the old man has something that can help him, he will not disappoint Madame!" Cui Tan said, of course, this is "can help", if he thinks he can't help, it is naturally another matter.
"30,000 copper coins per month, exchanged for silver, such a deal, I don't know if Master Cui is interested?"
Cui Tan stagnated, this doesn't seem to be a condition, it seems to be sending money to himself, as a right-wing politician, how can he know nothing about the economy, this can have tens of thousands of copper coins every month into North Korea, a country with extremely poor coinage ability, this is a great thing.
"Madame wants to open a money bank in Seoul by herself?" He asked tentatively.
"No, it's the business of my Yu family and the Cui family, Lord Cui, I know what you mean, however, there are some things that have been done and have been done, and it is completely impossible to really make others feel that you have not done it. Wu Yanran smiled this time, and the corners of her mouth completed a perfect arc, like a little fox who had just finished eating the 'chicken' cubs.
"30,000 yuan, the Cui family is exchanged according to the market price, and there are also 30% profits, my rest of the family is only 70%, although the Cui family has a big business, but the concubine always feels that no one will be afraid of more money!"
"My Cui family just wants to live a peaceful life and enjoy some wealth, why does my wife have to let go of the Cui family!" Cui Tan sighed, he knew in his heart that as long as he agreed to this condition, then no matter what, between him and Yu Feng, even if they were on the same boat, even if their father and son did not admit it, in the eyes of others, they were the same dog.
"If you really want to embarrass the Cui family, Ling Gongzi may not be able to come back from Pyongyang!" Wu Yanran smiled coldly, "Do you think I did too much in this matter?" You know, I was "politely" invited here by Ling Gongzi.
"That's it!" After being silent for a while, Cui Tan said in a low voice, "Mrs. Yu has anything else to do, let's talk about it too!" ”
There are too many lice and it is not itchy, after quickly weighing the pros and cons, Cui Tan immediately made a decision, it is obvious that the relationship between his Cui family and the Yu family is clearly known by the Dou father-in-law, and he does not have the ability to shut up the Dou father-in-law, rather than being pinched to the shortcomings and falling into passivity at that time, it is better to 'befriend' the good side now, at least when the Dou father-in-law is in trouble, there are still people who can help the Cui family, and he will not do this kind of thankless thing of making enemies on both sides.
Anyway, he wants to get rid of the relationship with Yu Feng, and someone can't let him get rid of it, so he simply doesn't get rid of it, and the people who can let the court raise the whole country's troops may not be able to deal with it, I'm afraid it's not easy to get along, he really doesn't believe that after he has a common interest in the Yu family, the Yu family can give up his important arm in the court, not to mention that Yu Feng has the help of the Chi family, compared with the Cui family, the Chi family's background is simply a nouveau riche, and it's really not enough to see.
"Other than that, there's really nothing big about it!" Wu Yanran saw that the other party bowed his head, and he couldn't express the happiness in his heart: "By the way, there is another small thing, I heard that our Yu family gave some muskets to Master Cui before, and some craftsmen under Master Cui have made some improvements, if Lord Cui does not object, I would like to see what improvements have been made."
This is the information provided by Yu Hongwei, Yu Hongwei, who often goes in and out of these high-ranking 'doors', can always hear some of the topics discussed by the 'women' of these powerful families, although the topic of wind 'flowers' and snow moon occupies most of them, but occasionally you can still hear some useful things.
For example, this improved musket, Yu Feng's rear-firing smoothbore gun was more advanced than the arquebus made by North Korean weapons production, at least in the process of firing, a few cumbersome steps were omitted. Ordinary arquebuses, from loading to firing, have to go through at least nine steps, and one of these nine steps, one of which is wrong, may cause the arquebus to not sound, in fact, until the American Civil War, these nine steps of arquebus, still in use.
Yu Feng's improved musket, because it is a flintlock type, so, in terms of steps, three steps have been saved, which is already an improvement of the revolutionary 'nature', but Yu Hongwei actually heard the news that the Korean craftsman actually came up with a way to reduce the two steps again, which made him very shocked, you know, in the combat power of the Fengzi battalion, the importance of the musket soldiers, it can be said that everyone knows, and the new musket is the pride of every Xincheng person, and now, there is actually a faster than their own musket reloading, fire' Shoot faster muskets, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Wind Word Battalion.
Yu Hongwei sent the news back with carrier pigeons, and soon the news attracted Yu Feng's attention, and it happened that Wu Yanran had an accident in Seoul at this time, and the news was also transmitted from Yin Sheng's mouth to Wu Yanran's mouth.
At the moment, since Cui Tan is very cooperative and makes Wu Yanran extort bamboo and bargain, Wu Yanran will naturally not be polite, and put forward her own requirements without hesitation.
"It's not my men, it's the craftsmen of the weapons factory!" When Cui Tan heard this, he didn't understand what Wu Yanran meant, so he hurriedly cleared his mind and said: "The musket can be shown to Madame, but Madame should not make up his mind about the craftsman who improves the musket, it is the master craftsman of our weapons manufacturing institute, and our king has given him a knight!" ”
If Yu Feng translates this, it is: I can see this gun, it's not a big problem, but don't even think about this technician, it's an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who has been received by the No. 1 chief and enjoys special treatment from the state, so if there are some excessive requirements, don't mention it again.
"So, thank you, Master Cui!" Wu Yanran smiled. With this result, the fright she suffered during her trip to Seoul can be regarded as compensation.
