Chapter 93: This official needs the emperor's help!
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked at Li Jin, wanting to hear what conditions Li Jin was going to talk about.
As a result, Li Jin directly broke Zhu Yuanzhang's defense with one sentence.
"The officer gave you 20,000 firearms, but the soldiers who use these 20,000 firecrackers must be handed over to the officer for training."
"Moreover, they will have to serve their officers for three years, and of course the salaries of these soldiers will naturally be borne by their own officers."
Li Jin directly opened his mouth and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da:
"It's not too difficult, is it?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't wait to deduct the jade ruyi in his hand on Li Jin's head, but this is not too much?
Why don't we lend you the Ming Dynasty to play for three years?
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's angry Tie Qing's face, Xu Da also stood up and said:
"Li County Order, you should know that military power is the most sensitive thing."
"It is impossible for the emperor to allow this kind of thing to happen, you should die of that heart."
"Don't say 20,000, you can't even get 200."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Xu Da's words, his face softened slightly.
Don't say two hundred, you don't have two, this dog thing, you still want to reach out to us for military power, I really don't want to live.
Li Jin was not in a hurry, and said to Xu Da:
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, this official plans to give part of the shares of the Chamber of Commerce he holds to the emperor."
"I wonder what you two think?"
"Shares?"
Xu Da looked puzzled and asked:
"Haven't you sold out of shares?"
Li Jin smiled slightly and explained:
"When did the official say that all the shares were sold?"
"The shares you bought are only fifty percent of all the shares of the Chamber of Commerce, and the remaining fifty percent is here with the official."
"That is to say, the value of all the shares is worth a total of twenty million taels of silver, and you are only buying half of the shares."
"Now the official plans to give the emperor a part of the shares held by the official, what do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da looked at each other, but they didn't expect that they would pay so much money, and it was not more than half of Li Jin's.
However, hearing that Li Jin planned to give a part to the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang looked pensive and asked:
"There is no such thing as a free lunch, so let's talk about your conditions."
"Saying in advance that the emperor will give you military power is purely a fool's dream."
"The so-called sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back."
Li Jin didn't believe that anything was inappropriate to talk about, and continued:
"There's nothing in this world that can't be discussed."
"The reason why the emperor is reluctant may be that the price is not suitable."
"I don't want military power, but I have to be there for these soldiers."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and was about to leave, but the thing of military power had already touched his scales.
Not to mention Li Jin, even the Huaixi magnates who followed him from birth to death, he planned to cut them off, how could he cultivate a powerful minister with military power.
"Don't rush to leave yet."
Li Jinsheng blocked:
"Lao Huang, you can suggest that the emperor choose a trustworthy person to come to Shanghu County to lead the troops and help the official fight."
"It's just that the officer doesn't directly lead the army."
"This official doesn't care who will fight, I only care if I can get rid of these Japanese robbers along the coast."
"Can you attack Wadao and completely solve this cancer for Daming."
Zhu Yuanzhang's footsteps stopped suddenly, turned around, and looked directly into Li Jin's eyes.
Li Jin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang without fear, his eyes were clear, and he had a clear conscience.
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and asked Li Jin:
"What price can you pay?"
"One percent of the shares."
Li Jin stretched out a finger and said slowly:
"This share is two million silver, how about it, is it sincere enough?"
"Sancheng!"
"At most, one and a half, or the official would rather not do it."
"Deal."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's conspiracy on his face, Li Jin only felt very depressed.
I've always slaughtered people by myself, but I didn't expect to be blackmailed today.
Looking at Li Jin's aggrieved appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt crooked in his heart.
walked out of the box with a gazhy face, and Xu Da hurriedly followed out.
Both of them felt that Li Jin had really lost a lot, not only did he lose his shares, but the 20,000 firearms trained for the imperial court were also destined to be empty.
The so-called loss of the wife and the loss of the army, but that's it.
But the two didn't notice that after they left, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of Li Jin's mouth.
After Xu Da came out, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Superior, why did you agree to Li Jin's request?"
"Those 20,000 people are not a small number, who does the superior plan to let lead these 20,000 people?"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head, stared at Xu Da, and did not speak.
Xu Da was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself with a shocked face and asked:
"Me?"
"And Sappy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought of the candidates just now, Xu Da and Lan Yu.
These two people are Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted people, one is a good brother who has worked together for many years and lives and dies together.
One is the team chosen for his own prince, although he is arrogant, he is still loyal to himself.
These two people are like the combination of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun back then, even if they really want to fight on Wajima, it is not impossible.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had made up his mind, Xu Da said with some gaffes:
"I'm here, what about the north?"
"What about those Mongolian tartars?"
"What about those brothers in the north?"
"We'll let Feng Sheng go there."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da, who was in a hurry, and explained:
"Why are you in a hurry? Don't you know that sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters? ”
"You first learn the method of training firecrackers, and when the time comes, you will have 20,000 firecrackers and join the northern battlefield."
"These Mongolian Tartars can still be your opponents Xu Da?"
"Don't be in a hurry for this year or two? We've all been waiting for so many years, so why bother with such a little time? ”
Xu Da gradually quieted down and returned to the auditorium with Zhu Yuanzhang.
And Li Jin was happy in the box for a long time, and then slowly calmed down, walked back to the hall, and happily announced to everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the ship's problem will be solved by the officer."
"Your silver will be escorted to the Royal Chamber of Commerce one after another."
"The Chamber of Commerce we set up this time is called the Royal East India Chamber of Commerce, and you can also call it the East India Company."
"The main business is to go to sea."
"Everything concerning the going to sea is under the jurisdiction of the East India Company."
"Remember, if we open up a trade route to overseas in the future, all those who want to go to sea will have to come to our East India Company to register."
"If you don't get permission, you will be sunk by our East India Company ships."
"Got it?"
Li Jin's eyes glanced at a few businessmen, of course he knew what these businessmen were thinking.
It is nothing more than using their own ability to open up trade routes, so that they can pick up ready-made.
But it is not so easy to take advantage of him Li Jin.
Looking at Li Jin's warning eyes, those powerful merchants were not afraid.
Li Jin is just a county order, behind these merchants, which one of them does not have the support of a big man?
How could they climb so high without the big guys.
When Li Jin really charges forward and wins the business channel for overseas trade, then any crime can make Li Jin get out.
And these things that Li Jin laid down can only become their trophies in the end.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but these people dare not refuse to give the silver that Li Jin wants.
After all, even if Li wants to go in and open up a trade route, it will also require silver to pave the way.
After Li Jin made arrangements, everyone left one after another to raise funds.
And Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Lan Yu, Tang and a few others refused Li Jin's invitation, stayed directly in a hotel, and began to discuss the next countermeasures.
