Chapter 219: Hand in 1.5 million taels!
Lao Zhu waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, I'll talk about this later, where are the Goryeo King Wang Yu and his son Wang Chang, let's take a closer look, what this immature wolf cub looks like......"
Zhu Di said: "Dad, the two of them, Wang Yu and Wang Chang, are waiting outside the palace gate at this moment!" ”
Lao Zhu said: "Bring it in!" ”
"Yes!"
One of the chamberlains answered, and walked out quickly.
Soon, two people, one big and one small, dressed in royal robes, walked in trembling......
"Wang Yu, the king of the small country of Fanbang, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty......"
Originally, Lao Zhu also wanted to scold a few words about Wang Yu, the king of Goryeo.
However, when he saw the trembling appearance of the father and son of the king of Goryeo, he suddenly lost interest.
After questioning a few words, he first asked people to take Wang Yu's father and son down.
Lao Zhu frowned and asked, "How dare you rebel against me as a mouse?" Could it be that the Goryeo magnates are very bold? ”
Below, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Dad doesn't know, Wang Yu, the king of Goryeo, should be scared!" ”
"Scared?"
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao couldn't help but look puzzled.
Zhu Di explained: "Dad, eldest brother, I was in Goryeo Wangjing, and let Goryeo King Wang Yu personally watch the process of a thousand cuts.
In addition, there were several scribes under his command who explained the "Great Message" written by his father to those Goryeo magnates.
As for the king of Goryeo, Wang Yu, I also learned it......"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao was full of shock, the corners of his mouth twitched, the king of Goryeo Wang Yu and a group of Goryeo magnates put on the black-hearted thing of the fourth child, which can be regarded as a punishment for them.
As for Lao Zhu, a hint of self-satisfaction flashed on his face.
"Very good, you bastard thing is still a bit of a trick, but just relying on our "Great Message", you want to govern the royal capital of Goryeo, and those cities near the sea, there are still some shortcomings!
We also need some talented officials! ”
Zhu Di's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Dad, when the child went to Goryeo, he also brought thirty students from poor families from Beiping Mansion Academy.
Although these students don't have much talent, because they often work as small officials in the Changshi Division, docks, and shops in the children's mansion, as well as those yamen in Beiping Mansion, they will not make any big mistakes when they govern the king's capital of Goryeo! ”
Lao Zhu took a deep look at Zhu Di.
"It turns out that you have been prepared for this for a long time?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained with a smile: "Dad misunderstood, the child just thought that with more and more shops and workshops in the house, only those scribes in the house were too busy, and he wanted the academy to cultivate some."
Unexpectedly, that Gao Li didn't know whether to live or die to provoke the child......"
Before Zhu Di finished speaking, Lao Zhu above suddenly asked: "How much silver can Gao Li earn a year from trading with your Yan Wangfu?" ”
"Daddy......"
Zhu Di was taken aback.
After coming back to his senses, he smiled bitterly in his heart, Guo Qing's guess was right, his father would definitely not let go of the silver taels earned by trade.
"Dad, the goods that the child gets from Goryeo are the lowest prices, and after they are shipped to Yingtian, they can be sold to those wealthy merchants at two or three times the price......
And the goods collected from Daming can also increase in price by one or two times if they are sold to those powerful people in Goryeo...... As long as there are no accidents in the sea, the money earned in a year is converted into almost three or four million taels of silver! ”
"Three or four million taels?"
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes!
Lao Zhu's eyelids trembled slightly, "The silver taels earned every year will be divided into two million taels of silver!" ”
Zhu Di's eyes widened, "Dad, ...... child"
Old Zhu looked at Zhu Di quietly, "You are a small Yanwang Mansion, what do you want so many silver taels for?" ”
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, but when he thought of going out for two million taels of silver, he trembled in distress.
"Dad, although I earn three or four million taels of silver, I spend a lot of money every year.
When the child was in Goryeo, he had already promised the soldiers and officials stationed in the royal capital of Goryeo, and the child would give them a reward of 30% of the silver taels he earned every year.
In addition, the child is also going to use the silver taels he earns to hire some more craftsmen in Peiping Province to pave a few more cement roads, and build two Mongolian schools and a shipyard in every prefecture and county under Peiping Prefecture......"
Lao Zhu was expressionless, and continued: "Let's remember, your Zhangjiawan Wharf can earn you 100,000 taels of silver in a month now...... And the sugar workshop you built in partnership with the Shen family, you can now earn a lot of money a year......
The farm in Beiping Mansion, as well as the academy, the wool workshop, and the cotton cloth workshop, can now make a lot of money......
As my Daming prince, how can I make more and more money, and I am getting more and more searched? ”
Zhu Di still looked aggrieved.
Zhu Biao on the side was a little unsightly.
"Dad, the fourth child still has Yan Shanwei to feed!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
"Yes, Dad, the child still has to feed Yan Shanwei!"
Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao, then continued to look at Zhu Di, and said lightly: "Now, your Yanshan guard has been placed in Goryeo by you, how do you guard Beiping Mansion?" ”
Zhu Di's face stiffened directly.
But that's two million taels of silver.
"Dad, two million taels of silver is fifty percent, plus thirty percent of the promise made by the child to those soldiers and officials, the child is only left with two percent! ……”
If you remove Guo Qing's one percent, then give him one percent left!
Lao Zhu snorted coldly, "Those officials' money is enough for them to be rich and noble for a lifetime, why do they have to reward so much?" ”
Zhu Di hurriedly said: "Dad, those soldiers and officials are far away from their hometowns, away from their wives and children, and they have to guard those Goryeo magnates all the time in Goryeo, and the children need to give them some hope." ”
After Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, he said: "In this way, hand over 1.5 million taels of silver to us every year!" ”
Zhu Di's face was still full of distress, "Dad, the child is bitter......"
Lao Zhu said directly: "Let's allow you to build two more guards!" ”
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lao Zhu tentatively, "Dad, ...... child"
Lao Zhu glared at Zhu Di fiercely, "If you dare to bargain with us again, we will send troops to capture the Goryeo Kingdom!" ”
"Thank you Dad, the child must hand over 1.5 million taels of silver to his father every year!"
Saying that, Zhu Di remembered something, and said again: "Dad, can that child also sell salt to Goryeo?" ”
"Yes!"
Lao Zhu nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Zhu Di was overjoyed.
Although a large wave of blood came out fiercely, one and a half million taels of silver had to be handed over every year.
However, he easily solved the problem of the shortage of soldiers in the Yanwang Mansion.
Moreover, he could sell salt to Goryeo.
With these alone, Zhu Di believes that Guo Qing can earn him back!
After going out of the Fengtian Temple.
I haven't seen Zhu Biao for a long time.
Zhu Di followed Zhu Biao and went to the East Palace to talk for a long time.
"Lan Yu has already defeated Timur of Tagus? ran away from Timur and the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and how many ministers? ”
"Yes, from now on, Beiyuan will no longer pose a threat to my Ming Dynasty......"
"Congratulations, big brother!"
"Hahaha, the fourth one, your contribution is not small, only 15,000 soldiers and generals actually captured the king of Goryeo and occupied the capital ...... of the king of Goryeo."
"Let the eldest brother laugh, I'm just making a small fuss!"
"In this matter, your long history Guo An has played a lot of roles......"
"Big brother, you shouldn't ......"
"What do you kid think?"
Zhu Biao glared at Zhu Di, "When did the eldest brother snatch a few of your things?" Especially, is it the kind of long history that can help you?
I'm just worried that you, this kid, have grown up in the past, only like military generals, and look down on literati, I'm afraid that you won't listen to Guo Changshi's words......"
Zhu Di hurriedly explained with a smile, "Big brother, don't worry, in addition to the military affairs, there are also some major events in the house, and I will hand over the affairs of those merchants and craftsmen to Guo An, and even the money earned will be given to him!" ”
"Ichisei?"
Zhu Biao's face was shocked, "Even if it is this trade between Goryeo and Yanwangfu?" ”
"Exactly!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
"Then Guo An loves money so much? Ahem......"
Zhu Biao was a little incredulous.
"We don't know, but Guo An really likes money, and then uses money to tinker with a lot of useless things."
Speaking of Guo An's love for money, Zhu Di also looked weird.
It's just that seeing Zhu Biao's uncomfortable appearance, Zhu Di couldn't help but be full of concern.
"Big brother, why is your health getting worse and worse? Have you asked a doctor to see it? ”
"Don't care, we're just fat, every time I take a few more steps, I will be a little out of breath......"
"Big brother, how are you doing?"
"It's okay, it's okay, we know our body."
"Alas......"
For Zhu Biao's increasingly fat body, Zhu Di is also helpless.
……
Two days later.
The story of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, conquering the king's capital of Goryeo, spread in the south of the Ming Dynasty.
All the gentry and merchants began to talk about it.
Then, the king of Goryeo not only owed the king of Yan money and did not pay it back, but also because of the matter of Tielingwei, he wanted to raise 100,000 troops to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and was directly captured by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and asked His Majesty the emperor for the crime.
Da Ming began to shake up and down again.
A large part of the people were full of joy.
First, the Ming Emperor defeated the court of the Northern Yuan Emperor, and now His Royal Highness the King of Yan has captured the King of Goryeo to the Ming Dynasty.
Then, in a few years, there will be no major war in the Ming Dynasty.
These people can finally recuperate.
Then, another piece of news spread.
Because the king of Goryeo knew that he was guilty of a deep sin and could not repay the 230,000 taels of silver of the king of Yan, he paid off the debts of the king of Goryeo, as well as Ganghwa Island and Yan'an County near the sea of Goryeo, and was given to the king of Yan by His Majesty, becoming the private kingdom of the king of Yan.
There are just a few barren and barbarian cities, and the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty don't care.
However, after hearing that King Yan wanted to govern these cities and trade with them.
The faces of those officials, gentry and businessmen changed greatly, and they jumped up from their chairs in shock.
"Shameless?"
"In this way, won't we be able to trade with the whole of Goryeo?"
"Hmph, what can King Yan do if he plans like this? How much silver can a small country that can't even afford to pay 200,000 taels of silver, and is often plundered by the Japanese state? ”
"Exactly!"
"But it's also a small country......"
Some businessmen and officials who have not gone to sea to do business do not care.
However, like the Shen family, the huge wealth that started by relying on maritime merchants is shocking.
His Majesty actually allowed King Yan to trade with Goryeo?
Here comes their chance to make money again!
Suddenly, a large number of Jiangnan giants came to Yingtian City!
