Xu has always been conceited that their country is small and barren, and the Ming Dynasty attacked them in vain.

Therefore, the country of Korea has always been unusually bright on the surface, but secretly it has always been a big wool.

Carry out the rogue small state model to the end.

However, this time, they found that it seemed that they had found a poison.

Two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, with interest alone per year, is ten thousand taels of silver.

Even if they were frugal and had been working for half a year, they even wanted to increase the taxes of the people, and they only had enough 10,000 taels.

However, this can only repay the interest, and they are not reconciled.

The first two times, they came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and no one submitted the matter.

Therefore, everyone in Goryeo thought that His Royal Highness King Yan should be in the way of the face of a big country, and would not ask them for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

So, when he came this time, he didn't bring any money with him.

Cui Chun never expected that the first time he went to the Ming Dynasty, he was scolded by the Ming Emperor.

Even the entire Ming Dynasty looked at him angrily, the Goryeo envoys, which was completely different from what the thief Li Shihou said!

The Ming Emperor and all the courtiers treated him like that, and when they saw the King of Ming Yan, they didn't know how they would scold him!

Thinking about it, Cui Chun was full of sadness.

"Chief, we have arrived at the city of King Yan."

As the mission's ships docked at a port, an official stepped into the cabin and reported to the chief envoy, Cui Chunyu.

"Isn't there still an hour to go, why did you get there so quickly?"

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Cui Chun's eyes, but he also had some doubts, but he sorted out his clothes and walked out of the cabin.

As soon as he walked to the bow of the boat, Cui Chun couldn't help but widen his eyes and his face was full of shock.

"Yanwang City is so prosperous? With so many cargo ships, I'm afraid it's the wharf of the Ming Jingshi, and there are so many ships, right? ”

On the side, all the Goryeo missions were also shocked.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Cui Chun found something again, and couldn't help but look weird.

"The city in front is the city of King Yan? Why is it so small? ”

At this time, an official from Honglu Temple came over, and when he heard Cui Chun's words, his face was full of pride.

"This is just a dock in Tongzhou City, not Beiping Mansion where His Royal Highness King Yan is located!"

"Tongzhou City?"

Cui Chun's face was full of doubts.

The officials of Honglu Temple were not prepared to explain too much, if it weren't for what the soldiers below said, he wouldn't have known that this place was just a pier outside Beiping Mansion.

"Don't delay Cui, please get off the boat quickly, there are still fifty miles of road from Beiping Mansion City, I need to take the carriage to the post station!"

"Fifty miles?"

Cui Chun was shocked again.

"Dare to ask Zheng Sicheng, this place is so prosperous, how can it be so far away from the city of His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Zheng Sicheng smiled faintly, "This matter has His Royal Highness King Yan's intentions, if Master Cui is curious, when he meets His Royal Highness King Yan, he can ask questions himself!" ”

After saying that, he got off the boat with a straight face.

According to the appearance of these Goryeo missions, they had to come out of Honglu Temple for carriage and horses, why didn't they notice it in the past, how could this country of Goryeo be so brazen?

Behind him, Cui Chun and the other Goryeo envoys froze, but they didn't dare to complain about anything.

There was no need to wait for Zheng Sicheng to send someone to look for the carriage, as early as when so many of them came down, several coachmen had already come over.

As soon as they heard that Zheng Sicheng and others wanted to use a carriage, more than a dozen carriages suddenly came over.

Subsequently, Zheng Sicheng took the Goryeo delegation into the carriage and went directly to Beiping City.

At the same time.

A small boat also sailed out of the pier and headed for Beiping Province by water.

The Goryeo envoy had not yet entered Wanping County, and Zhu Di had already received the news.

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly and ignored it.

As for the Goryeo mission, since they took the carriage and left the Zhangjiawan wharf, the group was like a countryman entering the city, and they were amazed.

"Such a wide and smooth avenue is all paved with cement?"

"How clean is this avenue?"

"There are so many wagons and wagons......"

"King Yan's city is so prosperous?"

"King Yan's city is so clean?"

"King Yan actually recruited so many people to build cement houses......"

"King Yan behaves like this, why are there so many smiles on the faces of the people in the city?"

"Someone, let's go and investigate!"

“……”

It's just that when the officials of Honglu Temple and the Goryeo delegation entered the post station and received the information from their respective subordinates, they couldn't help but look at each other.

King Yan is so expensive and has such a strict system, even throwing a peel at any time, and after being discovered by the street patrol officials, he has to put two big boards? ……

No one in the entire Beiping Mansion dared to disobey, even the thousands of Mongols living in the north of the city, after being hung up and beaten dozens of whips, they were all honest!

So tyrannical?

"Do you want to bring this matter to the attention of Shaoqing?"

Thinking about it, a certain right temple shrank his neck, Beiping Mansion has a political envoy, a prosecutor's envoy, as well as an inspector of the imperial history, Jinyiwei, no matter what, it is not his turn to worry about the small temple of Honglu Temple.

However, it is still okay to use this as a talking point.

As for the Goryeo mission, after being shocked for a long time, they were all full of horror.

King Yan is so tyrannical, they will definitely not be able to please this time!

However, he Cui Chun is innocent, and he must not take the blame for Li Shihou in vain.

Thinking about it, his face was ruthless, Cui Chun already had a plan in his heart!

Early the next morning.

Cui Chun asked Honglu Temple to help them deliver a prayer post to Yanwangfu.

In the afternoon, Zheng Sicheng took Cui Chun and other Goryeo envoys and walked into the Yanwang Mansion tremblingly.

Inside the transportation hall.

Zhu Di sits on the throne.

Below, Zhu Fu and Guo An and other civil officials of the Yan Wangfu sat on the left side, as for Yan Shanwei's commander Tang Yun, Zhang Xing, Chen Tao and other commanders, and thousands of households sat on the right side.

As the Goryeo mission approached, the faces of Zhu Fu, Guo An, Tang Yun and others suddenly became gloomy, and they all stared at Cui Chun expressionlessly.

As a result, before they walked in front of Zhu Di, Cui Chun and other Goryeo envoys couldn't hold on, their legs were weak, and they bowed directly to Zhu Di with a panicked face.

"Foreign Minister Cui Chun, bring a delegation to meet His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Zheng Mi, the right temple of Honglu Temple, see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Di waved his hand lightly, and after Cui Chun and the others got up, he asked directly: "You are waiting for the Goryeo delegation to come here, but you have to fulfill the contract and return the silver to this king?" ”

"This ......"

Cui Chun's face suddenly changed slightly, why is King Daming Yan so straightforward?

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's expression was cold, and he said coldly: "Why are you so spitting, Mo Feier didn't bring silver to this king?" ”

"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to calm his anger!"

With a pop, Cui Chun knelt directly on the ground again, his face full of misery.

"Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, the villain Goryeo is bitter! …… Your Highness's castle is so close to my country of Goryeo, and I must have heard that my country of Goryeo is narrow and barren, and in some places, half of the year is covered with snow......

What makes the foreign minister most sad is that in recent years, our Goryeo Kingdom has been in turmoil because of the invasion of the Northern Yuan......

In addition, the Japanese on the other side of the sea in the south often sent tens of millions of people to plunder our Goryeo Kingdom, causing our Goryeo people to live in poverty......

When they come, I, the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo, have to cut down on food and clothing, and even can't eat enough......"

"What does the poverty of Goryeo have to do with this king?"

Zhu Di's tone was indifferent, "We only know that when the king of Goryeo borrowed money from this king and signed the contract, he was very happy.

As the king of a country, he can be so cheerful, which is enough to show that Goryeo has the ability to pay back the money! ”

Cui Chun's face changed and changed.

Zhu Di continued: "If you tell this king that your Goryeo Kingdom can't afford to pay back a mere 210,000 taels of silver, you will definitely be playing tricks on this king!" ”

"Although my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not like aggression and is willing to accept the tribute of your Goryeo Kingdom.

However, if you Goryeo dare to play tricks on this king, even if you are to be punished by your father, this king will take a group of soldiers from Beiping Province to set foot in the royal city of Goryeo and personally retrieve the king's 210,000 taels of silver! ”

"Your Highness, there is still interest!"

Below, Guo An arched his hand and reminded: "When the contract was signed, the interest was five percent per year until the day when the money was repaid." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but look at Cui Chun coldly again.

Cui Chun hurriedly said: "Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to forgive me King Goryeo, this matter is all the ghost of that Li Shihou, it is His Royal Highness King Yan who deceived him, and also deceived my King of Goryeo!" ”

"What does this have to do with this king?"

Zhu Di smiled coldly, and he was furious, "It is your king of Goryeo who signed the contract with this king, and it is also the king of Goryeo who owes this king silver!" ”

"Whoever entered your mother, in the entire Ming Dynasty, no one dared to owe the king money and not pay it back, and you and other small countries in Goryeo dared to play scoundrels to us!"

Cui Chun's face turned red, and he wanted to raise his head to argue with Zhu Di, but when he saw Zhu Di's murderous eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, I will never dare to be a scoundrel to His Royal Highness......"

"Why doesn't the king of Goryeo return the money from my Yan Palace?"

Below, Guo An couldn't bear these Goryeo envoys to continue to be so intimidated and insulted by Zhu Di, and asked.

Cui Chun glanced at Guo An gratefully, and hurriedly replied: "This Shangguan, and His Royal Highness King Yan, the foreign minister really didn't lie, my Goryeo Kingdom really can't make up so much money?" ”

Guo An asked again: "The transparent glass technology for you, and the technology for planting vegetables in winter, are you available?" ”

Cui Chun replied: "Back to this Shangguan, after bringing these two techniques back to Goryeo, I, the king of Goryeo, immediately used them. ”

"Humph!"

Guo An snorted lightly, "In this case, with only that transparent glass and vegetables grown in winter, and the king of Goryeo must be able to earn more than 100,000 taels of silver, why don't you have any money?" ”

"More than 100,000 taels of silver?"

Cui Chun shook his head again and again, "This Shangguan has misunderstood, at most tens of thousands of taels of silver, there are absolutely no tens of thousands of taels of silver!" ”

Now, don't wait for Guo An to speak.

Tang Yun and Chen Shou and other generals on the opposite side were furious.

"Join your mother, you, a Goryeo thief, have earned tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you are still crying poor under His Royal Highness King Yan, which is clearly a scoundrel and does not pay back His Highness!"

"Your Highness, for a thief country like Goryeo, the last general is willing to lead troops to attack the palace of Goryeo and capture the bird king, and see if he dares not to return His Highness's money!"

"Your Highness, the last general is willing to ask for war, so use this thief's head to sacrifice the flag!"

"Your Highness, the last general ......"

Suddenly, the generals with big shoulders and round waists and fierce faces stared directly at their red eyes, and their momentum was menacing.

directly scared Cui Chun's legs weak.
