Chapter 185: Walking Five Baht Money
Batangas.
The messenger entered the palace with a solemn face and reported to King Roshe about the situation in Manila Harbor ahead.
King Roshe on the throne was watching Prigo's recital intently, and along with the recital, there were trade terms agreed with the Han Emperor.
The article uses the mud character, which was also signed by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, which fully shows the respect for the Luzon people.
After hearing the messenger's words, King Rosher raised his eyes and glanced at them a few times.
The messenger respectfully said:
"Your Highness, I am ordered by Shaogu to return from the port of Manila to resume my life."
"He also sent eyes and ears? Okay, let's listen to it together. ”
King Roshech called Shaogu into the temple.
Shaogu was a radical general with a large number of soldiers at his disposal.
At the beginning, he was the most opposed to Prigo leading troops to the port of Manila.
"Prigo must have a self-respecting army!"
As soon as Shaogu entered the hall, he didn't look at the report, and directly caught Prigo and sprayed.
He also doesn't care whether Prigo has the possibility of supporting his own army.
Just a cook, take away his military power, that's not good!
"Prigo did a good job."
King Roshe was not in a hurry, and asked Shaogu to sit down first.
It is normal for there to be contradictions between close cronies and important ministers.
And as a monarch, he is happy to see that the two sides are not at odds.
Even he deliberately pushed Prigo out in order to balance Shaogu's authority.
"Let's take a look at the music he sent first."
"Prigo had a friendly conversation with the Han Emperor, and the Han merchants agreed to my terms and only conducted restricted trade."
"And this, they've signed the trade terms."
Shaogu looked at the cantata and the articles and nodded.
To be honest, Prigo did a good job at this.
He even asked the emperor of the Han Dynasty to sign the article in their Luzon mud script.
The willingness of a monarch of a great country to use a foreign language is enough to show his sincerity.
But Shaogu's brow was still furrowed, and he was not only concerned about the Han trade, but also Prigo's movements.
The better Prigo did his job, the more worried he became, and behind his back, he poked Prigo's backbone:
"Although Prigo is a close confidant of His Royal Highness, he is a cook after all, so what can he do about the overall situation."
"If you don't keep it, you will be bewitched by the Han people."
"A mere cook, with 2,000 soldiers, will inevitably breed ambition."
King Roshe waved his hand:
"If you talk about supporting the army and respecting yourself, 2,000 is far from enough."
He glanced at Shao Gu as if he was nothing, and Shao Gu was the outsider who had the most soldiers and horses in Luzon.
"I will always be loyal to Your Highness."
Shaogu hurriedly expressed his position, and at the same time said:
"Your Highness, Prigo is leading the troops outside, and he is in contact with the big man, so you must not listen to his words."
And King Roshech called the messenger near.
"So didn't I bring you in?"
"This is your person, two sides to a pair, naturally you know, whether Prigo has a different heart."
Shaogu looked at the messenger, glared fiercely, and said:
"Tell me in detail how Prigo negotiated with the Han people in the port of Manila!"
Although the messenger obeyed the orders of Shaogu, he did not dare to add oil and vinegar when the king of Roshe was in front of him.
It's just a matter of what Prigo has done, one by one.
King Roshe nodded:
"It seems that Prigo is doing a good job, and he respects the customs and culture of the Han people, and has established a good relationship."
"This is a bit of a benefit to me in Luzon."
"The Han people seem to be quite friendly, too."
Shaogu questioned:
"The Han people are friendly?"
"Friendship will fight Yizhou, and fight with each other? This is all the state of the Han Dynasty! ”
King Roshe shook his head and said:
"Yizhou and Jiaozhou have existed since ancient times, but they have been split."
"Legally defensible, these are nothing."
"In short, I definitely won't have any thoughts about my Luzon, otherwise the world will discuss it."
"If the Han people can really abide by the rules I have set and restrict the buying and selling, it will be very friendly indeed."
To a certain extent, trade can be exchanged.
Shaogu almost jumped to his feet in a hurry, and asked the messenger to report all of Prigo's every move in the past few days, not just the result of negotiations with the Han Chinese.
The messenger had no choice but to dry his throat again and report in detail what Prigo had done since he arrived at the port of Manila.
When King Roshe heard this, he yawned a little.
"This is it!"
Shaoguti listened, his eyes lit up, and he said:
"Prigo received a box of silk from the Han Chinese!"
"This is clearly a bribe!"
"On the surface, it may be that the Han army accepted His Highness's provisions, but the port of Manila is far away."
"If Prigo turns a blind eye and allows the big man to secretly bypass the formulated regulations and conduct trade, we will not be able to control it!"
King Roshe said patiently:
"Prigo didn't accept it, but wrote an IOU, which is equivalent to him borrowing a box of silk from the Han Chinese."
"After all, we are not cutting off trade, but only restricting it."
"If you borrow silk and look at it twice, you can also know the quality of the other party's goods, so that the people will not be deceived."
"It's all trifle"
This sentence touched Shaogu, and he jumped up directly:
"How is this a trifle?!"
"Dare to accept the silk of the Han people today, and dare to go to the Han court to be an official tomorrow!"
"I'm afraid that in Prigo's eyes, the wind of the big man is sweet!"
"I don't know what to think in my heart!"
"He's a walking five-baht! It's a living Zhaowu Tongbao! ”
"Sooner or later, there will be a mutiny! Han thief! ”
Shaogu's spit flew sideways, although it did not splash on King Roshe's face, but King Roshe's face darkened.
He opened a box beside him, and inside was a box of silk sent by Prigo.
Such good objects are worthy of his identity.
If it is dedicated to the old men of Boni Island, it is estimated that it will be more pleasing to people.
But what kind of dog talk is Shaogu talking about?
Accept silk today, and go to be a Han official tomorrow?
Then he is also a Han official?
He is also going to get some more Han porcelain, does it have to be beaten into five baht coins for walking?
"Ahem, cough, cough"
Seeing the silk in the box, Shaogu suddenly stopped, coughed, and hurriedly explained:
"Your Highness is angry!"
"The subordinate is just expressing his worries in his heart, and he has no intention of belittling you."
"I have no wavering loyalty to you, but I am a little worried, Prigo's attitude towards the big man!"
"The ministers just hope that His Highness can be more vigilant to protect my sovereignty over Luzon, unlike Yizhou and Jiaozhou, which were invaded by the Han Dynasty."
"Please forgive your offending words."
King Luo She waved his hand impatiently, Shao Gu was very resistant to the big man, but his worries were not unreasonable:
"Tell me, what should be done next in order to ensure that the Han people will trade according to the rules?"
Without thinking, Shaogu said what he was thinking, and said:
"Send people, immediately secretly send more people, not only to restrain the Han people, but also to restrain the folk nobles."
"Only by forcing them not to buy Han Chinese goods on a large scale can we limit the outflow of gold from Luzon at the root."
"Those nobles, three or five families can occupy a mine, and they are all rich in their hands!"
King Roshe nodded.
He will be fascinated by the porcelain and silk of the Han people, and other nobles will definitely not stick to the rules.
How did smuggling come about?
As for whether the Han people will sincerely follow the terms of trade, there must also be a question mark.
The Han people came specifically to trade at sea, how could they not earn money if they had money?
Seeing that King Roshe had accepted his opinion, Shogu continued:
"At the same time, limit the military power in Prigo's hands."
"Of course, two thousand soldiers can still be controlled by him, but the supply and grain transported must be limited."
"This way we can let Prigo know that he has soldiers in his hands, but he must also do what we want."
"In this way, his ambition will not be fostered."
"Even if one day it rebels, there is no food to support its long-term war, and it will not cause great chaos."
"How can a cook rebel."
King Roshe repeated what he had said before, thought about it, and said:
"It's up to you to arrange the grain and straw affairs."
This is also a trivial matter, so let Shaogu be responsible, which can be regarded as appeasing him.
And it is not bad to cause Prigo and Shaogu to fight each other, and to profit from it.
Anyway, the Han people will not stay in Manila for too long, and when the Han fleet is gone, this Luzon is still his world.
However, King Roshe still made a special suggestion and said:
"Prigo said in his letter that he wants to be my Luzon Yiya, Taihegong."
"Needless to say about his loyalty, don't be too harsh on him."
Shaogu was stunned:
"Yi Ya, Taihe Gong, who are they?"
King Rosher Road:
"They are all sages of the Han Dynasty in the past, although the two were born as cooks, one is willing to cook and kill his own parents for the sake of the monarch, and the other is to teach his skills to others."
"Don't think that the cook is incompetent."
The sage of the Great Han?
When Shaogu heard this, he was excited again, comparing himself with the sage of the Han Dynasty, this is not a proper five-baht penny? !
But he was patient and did not rush to make a statement.
Forget it, after all, Luzon is a big place, and there is no second famous chef in the past.
——
Port of Manila.
Almost every three or five days, Prigo took his two thousand soldiers to the banquet of the Great Han.
Treats, meals.
came and went, and they were extremely familiar.
Especially the unambitious Luzon soldiers.
Fu Xuance and Dian Chu ate together, Liu Yin drank with him, and Shihai slept with him.
Those big-headed soldiers really eat this set.
Liu Yin, the No. 2 straw bag, is even highly respected for drinking 500 people by himself.
was constantly praised by the Luzon soldiers, and he really deserved to be a nobleman.
But the most surprising thing is that he deliberately disguised himself as a straw bag, and he was the straw bag No. 3 Shihai in front of the transparent mascot all the time.
After experiencing the devastation of the palace maids, Shihai finally found himself.
actually worked with those soldiers to get a "Luzon Customs Niang Evaluation Guide".
The children of the family who went to sea together, including Fu Xuance, were all greatly praised.
It has the style of the ancient "Yuedan Commentary", which is worth vigorously promoting!
Prigo was also confused by this set of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
The language may not be compatible, but the habits are the same, the same world, the same dream.
But fortunately, he himself is extremely motivated, and having fun is only secondary, and there is no delay in business, and from time to time, he will find Fu Xuance to learn Chinese.
And because it was the first time to lead the troops, I also deliberately learned some of the Han people's art of war.
Fu Xuance is an all-rounder, except for governance, other abilities are not bad.
He has never led a soldier, and his command is a full 80 points, and his theoretical knowledge is excellent.
Teach Prigo, a native of Luzon who has never been in contact with Han culture, and he has his hands on it.
It's just what he taught
"This Fan Sui is a famous general, and he has a famous strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, but he almost died because he was suspected of selling Wei."
"The famous general Wei Yin, who once captured the commander of the enemy army and beheaded more than 80,000 people, was falsely accused of rebellion and had no choice but to flee."
"Bai Qi has fought more than 70 battles in his life, never defeated, and slaughtered 400,000 enemy soldiers, everyone was terrified when he heard his name, and then he was given death because of his high merit."
In the art of war, there must be examples.
Fu Xuance explained an example, so he casually talked about the life and deeds of the famous general.
Prigo learned, smacking his tongue again and again.
Why is it so easy to die?
Either framed or suspected, how come there is no one who starts and finishes well?
Prigo is not stupid, thinking from the perspective of those monarchs, it is quite normal to be suspicious.
Those generals have already affected the prestige of the king, and they don't deserve to die, they have to die.
Gan Wenban listened to two sentences occasionally.
I just want to laugh.
Throughout the ages, there have been many things that have been suspicious.
Moreover, Fu Xuance picked out the deeds of those generals who were suspected, suspicious, or directly supported the army to rebel.
Who wouldn't be confused?
However, in this Zhaowu Dynasty, there is no chance of high merit to overshadow the master.
In terms of merit, who can compare to His Majesty today?
Yue Shaoqian can fight, right?
He was ordered to garrison Qiongzhou many times, and even led troops to repel the Donghu Southern Army, and in the Battle of Gaozhou, he held the city and fought to the end, making great contributions.
It is definitely to support the building in the future.
can be compared with the emperor, and the merit can only be regarded as half.
Even half of the merits on his head were made because of the emperor's leadership.
And I see that your majesty is going to make another immortal achievement.
This Luzon.
Really rich.
Gan Wenban is planning to make a gold belt, and the belt is full of golden bells.
What is a sailor card?!
There is really no shortage of gold in Luzon.
"How much did you earn this time?"
Gan Wenban found He Hong, who was trading with the Luzon nobles.
He Hong's two eyes were almost in the shape of a five-baht coin, or a golden five-baht coin.
He snuck and gestured five fingers at Gan Wenban.
Hiss.
Five ingots of gold?
Luzon didn't just have gold mines, those Luzon nobles hoarded a lot of gold.
And the business is too good to do.
In the Central Plains, even if you rob it, you may not be able to grab back so much gold.
In Luzon, you only need to use porcelain and silk to pile up the golden glitter in your sleeves.
even let Liu Yin and those Luzon nobles have a drink, let Shihai and them taste the pretty women of Luzon, or let Fu Xuance have a gluttonous feast.
Easily, the business was won.
"That's all you need? It's hard for me to sell you porcelain! ”
"According to the rules and regulations of your King Rosher, we are all limited to purchases."
A good silk, this guy is only willing to give one or two gold, hurry up the next one.
He Hong directly got started, drove away the poor sour nobleman with the gold, and ushered in another slightly more generous Luzon nobleman.
This nobleman's bid was quite satisfactory.
He Hong found another Luzon nobleman and asked the two to bid, and compared them before they got rid of this batch of goods.
Gan Wenban smacked his tongue.
During this period, he saw many rich children buying and selling.
No one like He Hong squeezed the last piece of gold of the Luzon aristocracy.
And only in and out.
Let him sell porcelain, silk or something, yes.
If you want him to spend the gold and buy some Luzon specialties, you don't even think about it.
Even if you are hungry and thirsty, you have to hold on, waiting for the emperor to feast on Prigo and the Luzon soldiers, and then go over to eat a full meal.
Gan Wenban, a person who likes luxury, looked at He Hong's reincarnation, and he couldn't bear it:
"Hoarding, speculation, if it spreads, your reputation is not very good."
"Reputation?"
He Hong scoffed, how much money can be earned by fame?
"Hoarding?? The one who can't afford the price is not my problem, it's their problem. ”
He pointed to the nobleman who had just bought the silk in the distance, and the nobleman noticed it, and immediately turned around and smiled at He Hong.
"You see, we sold goods and made gold, and the Luzon nobles who bought goods also felt that they had earned."
"Your Majesty has earned it, and so has the treasury."
"Everyone has earned, who will lose?"
Who knew that at this time, the Luzon nobles suddenly retreated.
He Hong put away the gold with a vigilant face, and clenched his fists viciously:
"Once the goods are sold, they will not be returned or exchanged."
"This"
The Luzon aristocracy took two steps back, and these days, the sailors of the Han Dynasty also went out to sea to catch kun.
That vigorous energy can scare him a lot, and he doesn't dare to make any rash moves.
After a pause, he said:
"I may not come back after that, Lord He take care."
"Huh?"
He Hong was stunned and said:
"If you don't buy it, I'll increase the price!"
The Luzon nobleman gritted his teeth and said:
"This month's trade quota should be about the same."
"Luzon, after all, is the Luzon of King Roshe."
"What the hell?"
He Hong looked confused and confused.
At this time, Shihai, who had just taken the Luzon nobles to taste it, hurriedly found Liu Ke.
He was different from those straw bales, and after putting some of the news, he analyzed the current situation in Luzon.
Report to the emperor as soon as possible.
Liu Ke hasn't done anything these days.
It's nothing more than eating and drinking, and occasionally taking the sailor to go out to sea to catch kun and replenish the stock.
Under the destiny of [free trade], if Luzon did not restrict it, he could even rely on fishing for kun, using local materials, and directly emptying Luzon's gold mines.
"Your Majesty, King Roshe has sent more men to keep an eye on you."
"Split up with Prigo, who is overseeing and restricting our selling."
"The other part of the manpower restricts the Luzon aristocracy who spend large sums of money."
"The Luzon aristocracy, who already had some excess trade, was arrested."
"That's right."
Liu Ke pressed his little belly, as if he was a little blessed.
"Then it will be seen whether the Luzon people are willing to take risks and buy things, or whether the power of the king of Rosher is able to restrict trade."
"Pass on my order to make Kunkun the king of Luzon."
[Qi Ji Kaifu: After you open a mansion for a small animal, the small animal will be popular all over the world]
He had given chickens the title of prince before, and the effect was obvious, and chickens were raised under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
Even the chickens that got on the merchant ships were treated well.
Even the children of those families are very fond of this mediocre poultry.
After making Kun Kun the king of the palace, the effect should also be good.
It may not be able to radiate to the whole of Luzon, but the effect covers the port of Manila, where the Han caravan is located, and it should be no problem.
But it is impossible for the Luzon people to raise kun.
Even the only Han merchants sold kun candles, kun meat, and kun skins were sold.
Coupled with the mandate of [free trade], the attractiveness of goods has greatly increased.
It is estimated that those Luzon people, when they can't see Kunkun, their hearts are like ants crawling.
It was useless for King Roshe to restrain him.
Because this time it is not a trade in porcelain and silk.
The price of kun derivatives such as kun meat, kun skin, and kun candle is relatively low.
Ordinary Luzon people can afford it.
The Luzon authorities simply couldn't stop it.
Han merchants can completely peddle in secret.
As for the breach of the provisions
You use mud characters, and you sign them in Bo mud characters, what's the matter with Guan Dahan?
Besides, the sailor who can go to the sea to catch kun is here, and if you dare to make trouble, try it?
If King Rosher exerted further pressure on the people, he would be working against the Luzonians.
When the time comes.
Liu Ke looked at his own bunch of [flickering], [empathy], and [princely general Xiangning has a kind of] destiny.
Coupled with Fu Xuance, a professional household of arch fire.
It's normal for the Luzon people to fight for their freedom, right?
