Tang Yin is still cool-headed, knowing that these are all sugar-coated shells of the North Koreans, and once they accept it, they will be easily controlled, and they will be easily impeached by the Ming Dynasty after they go back.

Mainly...... He didn't think this woman was so tempting to him.

Early the next morning, when the Korean ministers were meeting, Tang Yin, Park Yuanzong, and Yoo Ziguang entered Gyeongbokgung Palace and went to the Qinzheng Palace, and on the way he asked directly: "Boyin, you do this, but it makes me very embarrassed." ”

Park Yuanzong said: "Sir, forgive me, I am just doing a little bit of landlord friendship to make your life more stable in North Korea." In addition, I know that Envoy Xu is sick and has sent some medicines and supplements, so I should be there, right? ”

Park Yuanzong was afraid that the people below would not do a good job, or Tang Yin and Xu Jing would return the gifts, and in the end they didn't know who would squint them, so he was very serious about verifying.

"The medicinal materials for healing can be kept, and women don't have to think about sending them to the same hall in the future." Tang Yin said, "If you really have a heart, you shouldn't come to me, don't you know that in the Ming Dynasty, who has a higher weight in talking about the heir of the Korean lord?" ”

Park Yuanzong was stunned.

Immediately, he realized that the person Tang Yin was talking about was Zhang Zhou.

It's not going to be talking about Liu Jian, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, right?

Park Yuanzong said in a low voice: "I just heard a news from Daming, saying that it was the Lai Guo Mansion that was added to the Ding, but I don't know if it was born to Yuan's wife." ”

"It's not." Tang Yin replied very directly, "I haven't heard that Lai Guogong's wife is pregnant, if it is really a child, I think it should be the young lady of the Weining Hou Wang family, but you know that Wei Ninghou is also very favored in Daming, and his status will not be too low." ”

Park Yuanzong said with a smile: "So we have prepared congratulatory gifts here, and it will inevitably be a little late to send them from Gyeonggi Province, so we specially asked Ping'an Province and other places to select gifts, and it is estimated that they can be sent to Liaodong in these two days." ”

Tang Yin said: "You can finally do things." ”

"Sir, I praised it." Park Wonjong said.

Tang Yinxin said, where did you hear that I was praising you?

"After the matter is done, I can also go back to Daming, please don't make some trouble for me, as a minister of Daming, I will definitely face the interrogation of the courtiers after returning to Beijing, if they know that I accept generous gifts here, even women, it is not good for my reputation." Tang Yin said.

Park Yuanzong was stunned and said, "The gift will be sent back to your hometown." ”

If it's not convenient for you to receive gifts, then we will send them to a "convenient" place.

Inconsiderate? Is it intimate?

Tang Yin said: "Save it, how much you give to Lai Guogong, he can deserve it, and the people in the court and China can't attack him, and his merits are worthy of your tribute and filial piety." But I, who have been in the DPRK for a short time and have not made meritorious contributions, how can I be worthy of these? ”

Park Yuanzong pondered it again, his head seemed to be very flexible, and said: "Then in the filial piety to Lai Guogong, I will specially open up your share, and turn back and let Lai Guogong transfer it to ......."

"Bo Yin, I think you should be able to do things, why are you so attentive to a gift-giving thing now? Shouldn't your mind be on how to stabilize the situation in North Korea? Tang Yin said with a straight face.

Park Yuanzong scolded his mother in his heart.

I have honored you as an ancestor, and you are still picky?

Tang Yin sighed: "What do you want, don't come and tell me, even if you give the whole of North Korea to that Lai Guogong, it is also your Korean's business, and you don't need to discuss it with me." Of course, I will help you win the official position of Daming, so that you can get the care of Daming, this is what I can do. ”

"Then your title in North Korea ......" Park Yuanzong has always been thinking about giving Tang Yin the title of the king.

"As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, there can be no two kinds of loyalty." Tang Yin said.

Park Yuanzong thought to himself, you don't want to be a second minister, I just want to be a minister, right? You give me an official position in the Ming Dynasty, and the DPRK still treats me as a traitor?

Tang Yin also seemed to take this into account and reminded: "North Korea is just a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a kindness and courtesy to you to be canonized by the upper state, do the courtiers of North Korea dare to make irresponsible remarks about this?" ”

"Don't dare." Park Wonjong said.

"Then hurry up to the court and discuss the matter. Today, we have to make a clear account of military spending. ”

……

……

Tang Yin's people in North Korea are not eating and waiting for death.

He has an important task, which is to help the Ming Dynasty pacify the Jurchens in Liaodong to continue to raise grain, grass and funds, especially when it comes to Wang Shouren's governance of the Nuer Gandu Division, which requires a large supply of grain and grass, if the grain, grass and materials are supplied from the Central Plains or Jiangnan, the freight is far greater than the value of the grain and grass itself, and it is better to transfer it from North Korea.

In the past, this kind of thing was unthinkable, and even if North Korea would give it, it would not give more.

But now......

I ask for it, that is the Heavenly Empire can afford you, and let you contribute to the pacification of the Ming Dynasty.

Inside the Hall of Diligence.

In the past, the court did not talk in Chinese, but now that Tang Yin is here, all conversations must be in Chinese, and those courtiers who do not understand Chinese have suddenly become marginal figures.

In addition to the fact that there is no ruler in North Korea, a big king and a concubine are a big concubine, they also have no qualifications to listen to the government, the main position is vacant, and the most important position below is Tang Yin to sit, and the leaders of the old Xun faction and the Shilin faction are sitting on the left and right, Li Kedun and Yin Bishang, the heroes of the old Xun faction and the Shilin faction, and Park Yuanzong and Cheng Xiyan, who had set things right, could only sit back.

At this time, Park Yuanzong was still in the court as a martial artist, and Cheng Xiyan was a leftist politician, and his official position was even above Park Yuanzong.

“…… The suzerainty wants to level the Jurchens, send troops to Liaobei, the mountains and rivers are far away, and it is quite difficult for North Korea to transfer grain to the north, and the territory of North Korea has experienced drought and floods, and the people are too busy to take care of themselves, and now at this time, they should also ask the Ming Dynasty to relieve the disaster, if they allocate food at this time, or even levy additional taxes, I am afraid that the Korean people will be miserable and starving......"

Yin Bishang, as the leader of the civil ministers, was talking about the difficulties of North Korea in transferring grain for the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Ziguang said: "The Ming Dynasty wants to pacify Liaodong, but also to escort the stable life of the people of North Korea. ”

"Are you on the side of North Korea or on the side of the Ming Dynasty?" Immediately, someone used Korean to cross-examine Yoo Ziguang.

Tang Yin raised his hand and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Kedun also said: "Speak in the language of Shangbang, don't pretend to be a ghost here, listen to what you mean, is it to ask why Daming wants to transfer grain from North Korea?" ”

Soon someone translated the Korean sentence for Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was also very angry and said: "I don't care what your attitude is, but if you are so uncooperative with the matter of Daming Ping Liaobei, then I don't think there is any need to talk about it." ”

As he spoke, Tang Yin suddenly stood up and touched the saber on his waist.

A literati with a sword, he is still very stylish, he seems to have clearly put pressure on the North Koreans present, I fucking relied on weapons to subdue you North Korea, and it is natural for you to ask for food, you don't push back here, believe it or not, who is against whom to destroy?

"The difference is angry." Yanagiko Komitsu Road.

Tang Yin strode outside the Qinzheng Palace, and coldly threw down a sentence: "One million stone of grain must be transported to Liaodong within half a month, which is also to show your sincerity to the Ming Dynasty." If you can't, you'll be responsible for the consequences. ”

……

……

Tang Yin left with Daming's guards.

There were a bunch of Korean courtiers left in the Qinzheng Palace, and they sat there one by one full of righteous indignation, especially the people of the Shilin faction who were most distressed by this.

"The country will not ...... the country," some people even almost beat their chests and cried.

Pu Yuanzong got up, he didn't sit in the front position, but when he got up to speak, he seemed to be the second best minister after Tang Yin, and said loudly: "Compared with the tyranny of Yanshanjun, now it is just to assist the Ming Dynasty to pacify the border troubles in northern Liao, in addition to the three hundred soldiers who came with the envoys, can the Ming send another soldier?" ”

This is a reminder to the ministers present.

Hurry up and let Daming give us the position of the lord of the country, and then send Tang Yin and Xu Jing envoys away, and our North Korea will return to its previous state.

If you have to be entangled in the dignity of your actions, the result will be that the Ming Dynasty will send troops directly from Liaodong to North Korea, and then it will not be to discuss the issue of grain transfer with you, but can directly rob it.

Liu Ziguang also hurriedly defended his behavior: "I heard that after the Jurchens are obedient, even if they take the initiative to submit, they will also migrate to southern Liaoning and other places to resettle, and the local officials will become liuguan. ”

"It's a big deal, it's ......"

Immediately, someone from the Shilin faction got up, probably to break the net with Damingyu.

This time, Yin Bi said: "The Ming Dynasty is the suzerain, and this time the army was sent to build slaves, which was also proposed by the previous lord of North Korea and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and promised to send 20,000 troops, but only less than 5,000 troops were sent, and the grain and grass were not supplied. It's just that in quantity, it's debatable. ”

Li Kedun got up and said: "You are just being damaged by the atmosphere of Taiwan's admonition, no wonder you ......"

"Hirohara-kun, what do you mean? Before the calamity, did you forget when you persecuted Zhongliang? Taiwan's admonition is a rule set by the previous emperors, and it is to ensure that there is no deviation in the implementation of government affairs in the DPRK! ”

The Old Xun faction and the Shilin faction were not dealing with each other in the first place, and when it came to a matter of adjusting grain, they suddenly became tense again.

Park Yuanzong said: "Enough! Now that the lord of the country has not been decided, and the Xiaoxiao everywhere is ready to move, you still have the heart to fight? Each family will see if they can raise more food, and this time they will have to transfer food, and the clan and the lords can be thought of staying out of the matter, and they will be treated equally on this issue. ”

"Why?" Immediately, another official from Taiwan questioned him.

Park Wonjong also patted the hilt of his sword.

Like Tang Yin before, they were all threatening the ministers present.

Don't be ashamed of you.

……

……

Dingliao right guard.

The gifts sent by North Korea to Zhang Zhou were presented in front of Zhang Zhou after a few days of delivery.

The quantity is quite large, but the unit price is not high, and the total number is not enough, so Zhang Zhou can see the "stinginess" of North Korea.

"These values, there are probably thousands of taels of silver, how can you get it so shabby?" Zhu Feng was like a school inspector, personally inspecting every gift and accounting for it.

He was also pondering in his heart, this gift from my old Zhu family thanks to Brother Zhang is more than that.

The North Koreans actually expect these two melons and dates to let Brother Zhang help them establish the country and no longer put pressure on them?

Zhang Zhou held the gift slip in his hand, smiled, and said to the North Korean envoy who came to give gifts: "You are from Hanyang City?" ”

"It's not." The envoy said, "The villain was sent by the envoy of Huanghae Province, and the head of the family had a fateful friendship with General Park Yuanzong. ”

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Is it the newly appointed envoy of the Huanghai Province Soldiers and Horses?" Park Yuanzong is very good at controlling military power and keeping a low profile in Hanyang City, but he secretly replaces the people in charge of the army in other places with his cronies one by one, so as to avoid hidden dangers in various places, but he doesn't know that this will cause resistance between the county guards and the people in charge of the troops in various places? ”

“……”

In the face of Zhang Zhou's questioning, the envoy didn't dare to breathe.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I heard that you also gave Tang Yin a gift?" ”

The messenger shook his head: "The villain doesn't know. ”

"And where are you going when you go back?" Tang Yin asked.

The messenger said: "I will go to Gyeonggi Province with a fast horse to resume my life, or I will enter Hanyang City." ”

"Okay, you just mention me by the way, tell them what I need, everything must be clearly priced, and don't engage in those hidden things, who will make them lose the good game? Originally, I was relieved to assist the Ming Dynasty in pacifying the Jurchens, but I wouldn't say a word, but now they have overthrown the lord of the country themselves, and they still want the Ming Dynasty to give them a new order? ”

"Don't be a rebel and thief, and let Daming carry the black pot for them! The Ming court will not do things in vain and will not receive benefits. You can understand such a simple statement, right? ”

Zhang Zhou looked at the envoy with a smile.

The messenger said, "Yes, the villain understands. ”

The good diplomatic relations between the two countries, and even the political meeting and negotiation, have been directly turned into a market and vegetable market, what else is there not to understand?

You Daming just want to exploit North Korea?

"Smart people are good at doing things, then I will list what I can list for you, and I won't let you bring these broken things back, trouble, just go directly to the military rations, I will calculate the highest price for these things for you according to the lowest price of food, and it's a big deal to lose a few stones when you collect your military rations."

"Yes, yes."

……

……

Zhang Zhou has already made a detailed list, which is all-encompassing.

For example, the Ming Dynasty no longer sent troops to the Korean border, and how much grain, grass and baggage needed to be given.

For another example, how many "thank you" should be given to the commissioner of the country; Tang Yin and Xu Jing completed the task and returned to the dynasty, how much should they give...... Even killing Li and exiling Li are different in price.

The position of the lord of the country is not given to Li's son, nor is it given to Li's younger brothers, but it is directly explained that it can be given to Li Yi, but the price is the highest...... It is necessary for the two queens of North Korea to give a detailed price.

Didn't the ministers also hope that everything would be on the right track after the destruction of a faint monarch in North Korea?

Wouldn't it be nice to give you an option?

Of course, if you think it's expensive, you can also contribute manpower to fill the vacancy, and how much food can be offset by one soldier, a thousand people can pay.

For example, if you don't even want to give a husband, but you have to give some women and children, then the price is also negotiable...... After the Ming soldiers were resettled in northern Liaoning, they also needed someone to help with laundry and cooking, and they also needed to settle down and start a business, and the population also needed to migrate...... The Han people in Liaodong don't want to go north, so let's go to the Koreans!

Promote ethnic integration, and give the identity of the Ming people, without any oppression, and even give the necessary resettlement rations.

Why not?

After reading this list, Zhu Feng said in a speechless manner: "Brother Zhang, you are more interested in business." ”

Zhang Zhoubai glanced at him and said, "What business?" Do you talk about family and country affairs as business? Even if it is really an exchange, you can't call it business, it should be said, it is called an exchange of interests between the suzerainty and the vassal state, the suzerainty helps you guard the border, gives you a stable environment, and even comes to shelter you, then you also have to provide the necessary taxes and manpower support. This is the most basic Confucian etiquette and music education. ”

Zhu Feng was confused when he heard it.

Zhang Zhou looked up at the North Korean envoy and asked: "I think it's very bad for you to send a woman to Tang Yin, a woman can be sent to Liaodong, no matter what the background is, Da Ming needs it." You know, this is a resource on the grassland, and it can bring about the development of the ethnic group. ”

The envoy asked, "How many women?" ”

"The more the merrier." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "Then the woman you gave to Tang Yin, I heard that her name is Zhang Lushui, I like this person very much, since Tang Yin doesn't accept it, send someone to me." ”

"Huh?"

The envoy was also surprised.

It is said that you are greedy for money and lustful, and some people say that this is a rumor, and it seems that the rumor is true.

Zhu Feng also looked at Zhang Zhou, frowning slightly, meaning that you are actually good at this tone? Then why don't you accept someone else giving you a woman? Or do you just like the exotic?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Don't get me wrong, I just appreciate the musical talent that this woman has, it is said that this woman is very good at singing, and it is not impossible to listen to music at ordinary times." In addition, I also want to find some younger women from your territory in North Korea, so that they can move their families to Daming, and I plan to open a 'song and dance hall' so that they can show their talents." ”

The envoy and Zhu Feng were stunned.

They had never seen anyone as Zhang Zhou who talked about political conditions as much.

You want to find a kabuki from North Korea? Do you want to go to Daming to open a restaurant dedicated to performances? Wouldn't it be good for you to open a green building directly?

"People, it's not just you who choose it, I have to designate it myself, try it, maybe you can find it, or maybe you can't find it. In order to avoid the separation of the flesh and blood of the family, I also agreed to let them move with their families and give them the status of the Ming Dynasty, so this opportunity can be regarded as kindness for the ordinary North Korean people. ”

"Don't look at it, go back early, and get things done as I say. Recently, I haven't felt very well in Liaodong, and I want to go back to Beijing as soon as possible to live a stable life. ”
