Puti really weighed it carefully. After a long time, he said: "Minister Huang, regarding the Lancang dynasty, the officials should do their best to get them back to Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. However, there is also something for the officials. I hope Minister Huang. Can help."
"Teacher, please tell me."
"My Dacheng's taxation is not comparable to that of Da Ming. In addition, the battle with Toungoo cost a lot. These two million taels of silver are really not available at the moment. I hope that Minister Huang can give him two years of grace."
Huang Xiaofu pondered for a long time before he began to say: "The matter of the national teacher is my Huang's business. I must Bing Ming, let Dacheng pay it off within three years, but the national teacher must persuade the Lancang Kingdom, no matter what means."
"This is certain." Puti put his heart down. If the three years are paid off, Dacheng will live a little tight, and it will be better than being exterminated by the country. As for the Lancang Kingdom, it is not the land of Dacheng anyway, no matter who it belongs to, and Dacheng There is no direct relationship either.
"Guo Teacher, the matter will be settled for the time being. After His Majesty Huang Bingming agrees, we will sign the contract again?" Huang Xiaofu's happiness, out of thin air, has ruined two million taels of silver in Dacheng, and he has overfulfilled Zhu You. The task of the inspection account.
"Minister Huang, when will Daming send troops?" This is Puti's biggest concern.
Huang Xiaofu closed his eyes, as if thinking about how to persuade Zhu Youjian. Suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly. Send troops as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, Minister Huang was right, and he deserves to be a friend of the next official."
"For the sake of the courtesy of the national division, I will suggest to your majesty that instead of mobilizing the troops of the capital division, it is better to mobilize the troops from Yunnan and Guangdong nearby, which can save thousands of miles. What about the national division?"
"Thank you, Minister Huang!" Puti said in a polite manner, "So my big city is saved."
Huang Xiaofu doesn't care about the safety of the big city. He wants to realize the benefits of Daming as soon as possible. "Guo Shi, all the promises just now are a whole. The Guo Shi must also fulfill all his promises and don't make it difficult for Huang to be a man."
Puti saluted again, "Minister Huang can rest assured that once the contract is signed, the next official will immediately leave to return to China, ready to fulfill all the promises in the contract, besides, with the power of Ming, how dare the little big city violate the contract."
"That's what I said, but Huang did not want unpleasant things to happen to both sides."
"Minister Huang rest assured, absolutely not."
"Then Huang will see your Majesty immediately, please wait for the good news!"
Huang Xiaofu sent Puti away, while the palace gate was not closed, he immediately asked Zhu Youjian to see him.
Zhu Youjian was practicing. He heard that Huang Xiaofu asked to see him. He was slightly surprised, "Minister Huang Da, how are the negotiations with Puti? How many rounds of negotiations will be needed to win Puti?"
"Back to your Majesty, the negotiation is basically over."
"It's over? Why did the talk collapse? Where are the main disputes between the two sides?" Zhu Youjian was slightly disappointed. Sooner or later, Daming will send troops to Burma. If troops are sent now, both morally and practically, Daming will take advantage of it. Huang Xiaofu messed up, did he see the wrong person? Or is Huang Xiaofu too greedy
"Back to your Majesty, there is no dispute, we have already negotiated."
"It's negotiated?" Zhu Youjian looked at Huang Xiaofu, as if he was a monster from Mars, "Really negotiated? What is the result?"
"Everything is in your majesty's calculations." Huang Xiaofu reported the negotiation process to Zhu Youjian in detail.
"Haha, when I saw Aiqing for the first time in Yansui, I knew that Aiqing has the potential as a diplomat, and was born with corrupt materials. This first formal negotiation not only fulfilled all the missions, but also corrupted. "Two million taels of silver," Zhu Youjian is glad that he used the right person, "Aiqing asked, what reward is needed?"
"Your Majesty, it is the duty of the minister to make profit for Da Ming. No reward is needed. The minister has already taken the salary of Da Ming." Huang Xiaofu pulled out the brocade box that Puti gave him from his sleeve and opened it to Zhu. In front of Youjian, "Your Majesty, this is the pearl agate that Puti gave to the Weichen."
It is the first time for Zhu Youjian to see these abnormal jewels. “Putty really paid a lot of money this time in order to bribe officials from Daming.”
"Your Majesty, Weichen did not accept Puti's bribes privately. Everything is for Daming. All the jewels are here."
"All for Daming? Good." Zhu Youjian closed the brocade box.
"Your Majesty, should this brocade box be handed over to the Ministry of Finance?" Huang Xiaofu knows the current practice. Gifts are too expensive to be accepted by private individuals. They must be handed over to the treasury of the Ministry of Finance as revenue for the treasury.
"I know that Aiqing did not take bribes privately. The jewels in this brocade box are still full," Zhu Youjian did not answer, and he returned the brocade box to Huang Xiaofu. "Everyone for the sake of Daming should also be rewarded accordingly. ."
"Your Majesty..." Huang Xiaofu didn't know what Zhu Youzhen meant.
"Although Aiqing accepts it, this time Aiqing has over-fulfilled the task of negotiation, it should be my reward!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Don't worry, Aiqing, this is not greedy for ink, but the reward you deserve. It's just that this reward is given by Puti on behalf of me." Zhu Youjian smiled, earning two million taels of silver, even rewards. He didn't need to get his own money, he was even more excited than Zhou Yufeng was when he first entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, is this true?" Huang Xiaofu still couldn't believe his ears. Although he was the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, his salary was actually not high, and he had just lived a well-off life. It's better to wait for death.
"You have no joking." Zhu Youjian asked Huang Xiaofu to pack up the brocade box.
"Weichen thank you for your majesty Hong En, long live your majesty!" Huang Xiaofu kowtowed to Zhu Youjian in thanks, and then took his seat again.
"Haha, I have a reward, long live it?" Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood and took the initiative to give it a shot.
"The minister dare not." Huang Xiaofu was about to bow his head to apologize, Zhu Youjian reached out his hand to stop him, "I am happy today, I am joking with Aiqing."
Of course, Huang Xiaofu knew that it was a joke, so he stopped being pretentious. "The negotiations between the Weissier and Puti are basically over. Your Majesty, what else do you have to add?"
"These are very good. There is no need to add more. When signing the contract, bring the paperwork, as long as there is no problem with the expression."
"Weichen follow the order!" Huang Xiaofu bowed his hands in salute, "Your Majesty, Puti is still waiting for the ministers... When will Daming send troops?"
"Since Dacheng is so sincere, I can't help but show it," Zhu Youjian thought for a moment, as if to himself: "The ship carrying the mountain run and rockets should have arrived in Guangzhou."
"Your Majesty..."
"Tell Puti that the soldiers will rise on the tenth day of the first month of the first lunar month, and they can reach Yunnan on the 20th day of the first lunar month. After another half a month, they will arrive in Dacheng, so they can prepare enough food and money.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Puti has already made a promise. Once the contract is signed, he will immediately return to the city to prepare."
"Well," Zhu Youjian nodded, "In addition, the matter of persuading the Lancang Kingdom must be carried out immediately. I don't want them to break the contract."
"Your Majesty, after defeating Dongyu, Daming's 100,000 soldiers are at the door of Dacheng's house. Let them use their courage, and they dare not break the contract."
"It's best to be like this." Zhu Youzhen is unwilling to make extravagances. He has too many things now. There are reforms to advance to the five central and southern provinces, and the South China Sea Fleet is fighting in Nanyang. The little Dongku, he has nothing to do. I didn't pay attention to it, and didn't plan to invest too much energy.
"Your Majesty, the minister will go to meet Puti and sign the contract as soon as possible."
"Huang Aiqing, don't worry, you don't have to go tonight. Tomorrow someone will go and ask Puti for more talks!"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Huang Xiaofu came back to his senses. If you rush to Puti now, people don't doubt that you should give him a suit. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support, and the minister will stop."
"Go ahead and study the contract."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires."
Huang Xiaofu was solely responsible for the signing of the contract with Puti. As Puti brought the blank paperwork stamped by King Parasai of the city, the contract came into effect after Zhu Youjian stamped the seal.
Zhu Youjian thought that after sending Puti away, there would be no major issues before the Singapore dollar, but Wei Xin, commander of the North Sea Fleet, and Zheng Zhilong, commander of the South Sea Fleet, came to the capital almost at the same time and asked to see Zhu Youjian.
