Such a vulgar thing as bargaining naturally can't let Zhu Di come to the end in person.

Below, Guo An asked directly with a curious face: "Lord Cao's envoy said that Yan'an County is vast and has many people?" I don't know if Lord Cao can tell me, how big is the area of Yan'an County? How many households are there among the people? ”

Cao Minxiu was slightly stunned, and bowed slightly towards Zhu Di.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, who is this?"

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing is the right long history of this king's mansion, and asking this king to borrow money from Er Gaoli is proposed by Guo Qing...... Now, persuading the king to agree to the Goryeo Kingdom to use the city to pay off the debt is also Guo Qing'......"

Listening to Zhu Di's introduction, Cao Minxiu understood that this Guo Changshi must be a henchman of King Yan and a traitor, and he was subconsciously full of humility.

"It turned out to be Guo Shangguan, Cao Minxiu is polite!"

Regarding Cao Minxiu's attitude, Guo An was stunned for a moment, and smiled back.

"Can Envoy Cao tell me, how big is Yan'an County? How many households are there among the people? ”

Cao Minxiu's face froze, and he finally understood the intention of this traitor in front of him.

Although Guo Traitor is making trouble in the Yan Palace, he is a vassal of the Yan Palace, and he will definitely speak for the Yan Palace.

However, he can't help but go back, otherwise the Yan King above will definitely kill him.

Damn Guo traitor!

Cao Minxiu has already regarded Guo An as a traitor such as Qi Zhe and Lin Jianwei.

"Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, this Guo Changshi, how big Yan'an County is, the ministers really don't have the exact number, but even if it is a horse, it will take more than ten days to go around...... Today, there are more than 4,000 households in Yan'an County! ”

"Four thousand?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yun and the other generals directly laughed loudly.

Zhu Fu, Guo An and other ministers couldn't help but purse their lips and chuckle.

"Chief Envoy Cao, the people of only 4,000 households, if His Highness hadn't responded to the previous envoy named Cui Chun earlier, I'm afraid His Highness wouldn't even want to give out 100,000 taels of silver!"

"Exactly, my Royal Highness went around Liaodong with the army, and brought back 8,000 Mongols, nearly 2,000 households, so that they lived in a place, and your 4,000 households can have 6,000 strong?"

"How big is the city of Yan'an County? ……”

Hearing this, Cao Minxiu was not angry but shocked, he was really confused, he forgot that in Daming, the most important thing is the people.

Thinking about it, he hurriedly saluted Zhu Di and pleaded guilty.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, foreign ministers ......"

Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't be verbose, we are the dignified Prince of Ming, since we have responded to Er Gaoli, we will definitely not regret it."

Although Yan'an County is small and sparsely populated, it is still worth 100,000 taels of silver!

If you agree to it, let the king of Goryeo submit his credentials to the king as soon as possible, and if you don't agree, you will quickly pay back the money to the king! ”

Cao Minxiu was stunned and glanced at the very 'bold' Yan King above, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"The foreign minister will go back and report the intention of His Royal Highness King Yan to my King of Goryeo!"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and looked at Guo An on the side.

Guo An also bowed slightly, and shouted to Ma He on the side.

"The Goryeo envoys came from afar, and they quickly served the food!"

……

Subsequently, a sumptuous dish was served.

In particular, the plate of fresh vegetables made the Goryeo missions even more surprised in this cold winter.

Early the next morning.

Cao Minxiu took a group of Goryeo envoys and retired to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di sent a hundred households to escort them along the way.

With the departure of the Goryeo mission, letters flew out of Beiping Mansion like snowflakes and headed for the state capitals of Daming.

This is especially true in the south.

Thereupon.

More than ten days later.

The crown prince Zhu Biao, as well as Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and Zhu Li, the king of Jin...... and other princes and nobles who had a good relationship with Zhu Di wrote letters to inquire.

As for those businessmen, they are even more probing.

The affairs between the Yanwang Mansion and the Goryeo Kingdom are too strange, looking at the previous dynasties, only the land was ceded and compensated, and there was never a loan to the foreign domain, and then the foreign domain used the city to pay off the debt.

In this way, if Zhu Di, the king of Yan, becomes successful, can they also follow Zhu Di's example and borrow money from those Goryeo, Annam, Chenla, and Siam, so that their kings can directly give them the city?

Especially Zhu Fan and Zhu Li and other princes, they will all regret it very much, why didn't they just conquer Beiping Mansion?

Unfortunately, the Goryeo mission only stayed in Beiping Mansion for one night before being escorted out of the Ming Dynasty by the guards of Yanwangfu.

No one had access to the Goryeo mission.

As for those officials in the Yan Palace?

Now they can receive nearly 100 taels of silver more every year, and they can't buy it!

And just when the whole Ming Dynasty was very curious, a wealthy merchant was surprised to find that the Yan Wangfu had unknowingly purchased fifty big ships, including four hundred large ships.

Regarding the reaction of the outside world, Zhu Di and Guo An ignored it.

Because, it's the end of the year again.

This New Year's Festival is still the same as last year, with New Year's goods and rewards.

The only difference is that there are 8,000 more Mongols under the Yan Palace, and although more than 10 have died of illness, they are still 8,000.

Fortunately, the income of a Zhangjiawan wharf for half a year is enough to support the consumption of the New Year.

Therefore, the top and bottom of Yanwangfu were very happy, and many people received the New Year's goods and rewards in their hands, and their mouths were about to burst with laughter.

It's just that just after the New Year, Si Lunfa, the leader of the Dai tribe in Luchuan, Yunnan, raised troops to rebel again.

Xiping Hou Muying sent Du Du Ning Zheng to lead the army to defeat the rebellion.

Zhu Di heard the news and scolded fiercely: The barbarians are all wolf ambitions, they should be killed!

Then, a few days later.

The imperial court sent a holy decree to requisition 30,000 people from Beiping Mansion to transport grain and rice to Songtingguan, Daning and other places.

Hearing the imperial court's decree to the Yamen of the Beiping Prefect, Zhu Di sat on the chair and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Father really wants to send that blue jade to lead the troops to conquer the Northern Yuan?"

Guo An had already expected this.

"Your Royal Highness, Lan Yu is brave and good at fighting, and the generals such as Song Guogong and Ying Guogong are all old, as for Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Shen Guogong Deng Zhen, Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong, Xingyang Marquis Zheng Yuchun...... These martial artists are either old and lack prestige and courage, or they are too young to take on great responsibilities.

In addition, Lan Yu is also a relative of the emperor, and His Royal Highness has no need to compare with him, these places in Liaodong are all from the Ming Dynasty......

Now, the city that can completely belong to His Royal Highness is Nayan'an County. ”

Hearing Yan'an County, Zhu Di's face collapsed.

"I'm afraid that the matter of Yan'an County will also make waves."

Guo An was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Huh?" Your Highness, what's wrong? ”

Zhu Di smiled coldly and said, "Brother Huang, I sent us a letter a day ago.

After Naha's surrender, the Goryeo Kingdom was afraid that our Ming army would attack Goryeo, and the king of Goryeo repaired the city and fortified himself and prepared for war. Even, he also recruited the common people's post officials, who had nothing to do with the peasants, and who had nothing to do as soldiers, to guard against my Ming Dynasty!

A few months ago, his father wanted to set up Tielingwei in the place of the former Twin Cities Governor's Palace, and sent a message to inform Goryeo.

The Goryeo Kingdom dared to oppose it, and sent Mi Zhiti to learn from Pu Yizhong as an envoy to Jingshi, arguing that Tieling was in the north, and the prefectures of Wen, Gao, He, Ding, Xian, and even Gongzhen had been the land of Goryeo since ancient times......

However, my father also issued an edict to declare the king of Goryeo, and Tieling is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, which is under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division......"

After listening, Guo An couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask.

"Your Highness, before the end of that year, the Goryeo sent envoys to my Yanwang Mansion to discuss with His Highness about the repayment of the city's debts, why?"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Hmph, the Goryeo thieves are cunning, for fear that my Ming Dynasty will take advantage of the loan between our Yan Wangfu and the Goryeo Kingdom and send troops to Goryeo."

This king will wait for him for two months for the time being, no matter whether Tielingwei is set up or not, then the Goryeo thief country dares to play us, and we will definitely fight him Goryeo Wangjing! ”

After Guo An pondered for a moment, he said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen will put more gunpowder workshops to make more bombs and grenades!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di bowed slightly.

After leaving the Heart Palace, Guo An was also angry.

From top to bottom of the Goryeo Kingdom, they are all treacherous, cunning, and shameless.

Directly summoned a team of guards, got into the carriage, and headed for the gunpowder workshop.

"I've seen the Master!"

In the gunpowder workshop, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, who were fiddling with a palm-sized fire instrument, saw Guo An walk in with a gloomy face, and hurriedly saluted.

Immediately, he hurriedly asked, "Master, but what happened?" ”

Guo An asked directly: "How many incendiary bombs are there in the gunpowder workshop?" How many grenades and mines are there? ”

Tao Yiping hurriedly replied: "Back to the master, in the gunpowder workshop, there are 6,000 incendiary bombs, 20,000 grenades and 20,000 mines!" ”

Guo Andao: "Make another 4,000 incendiary bombs, 10,000 grenades and 10,000 mines!" ”

Hearing this, a trace of curiosity flashed in the eyes of Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, "Master, but the Goryeo thief official annoyed His Highness?" ”

Guo An glared at the two of them, "Your Highness's affairs, don't inquire about it!" ”

Immediately, he noticed the iron bump in the hands of the two of them, and asked, "Look at your waiting's leisurely expression, but the fire system we want has already been created by you?" ”

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting smiled reservedly, "The master is really sharp-eyed, but the disciple is ashamed that it took an extra year for such a small hand." ”

"You know that, too? How many years did it take? ”

Guo An glanced at the two of them with disdain, then picked up his hand and looked it up and down, although the hand rubbing did not meet the requirements in his mind.

However, this is also the first hand he has,

I held it in my hand, felt it, and was full of excitement.

Immediately, he remembered something and hurriedly pulled open the place where he was loaded with ammunition.

Sure enough, the empty ......

"Where's the ammunition?"

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting watched in surprise as Guo An was more skilled than them for a long time.

Then, under Guo An's questioning, he came back to his senses.

"Back to Master, the ammunition is here!"

With that, Tao Yiping walked to a wooden box and opened it.

Inside, six yellow, conical bullets were revealed.

Guo An's eyes lit up, he directly picked one up, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, but he didn't find any roughness.

Immediately, the bullet was loaded into it.

"Master's ......"

Seeing this, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting couldn't help but look surprised.

Guo An asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tao Yiping, who was originally distressed by the bullet, subconsciously changed his words after seeing Guo An's expression:

"Master, this thing is very powerful, please be careful!"

"We know."

Guo An nodded lightly, and then asked, "Have you tried it, how far can this hand system shoot?" ”
