Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "Yes, privately sending troops to help the rebels rebel is simply abominable! This is a taboo among the five countries! It makes sense for us, the Nalan Kingdom, to directly send troops to flatten them! It must be done! Let the Dongling Kingdom cede territory and pay compensation, and on the Longevity Festival, in front of the other four countries, the leader of the Dongling Kingdom personally apologizes, otherwise we will send troops!"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue rarely agreed with these two words: "Your Majesty, you two adults are right! The Dongling Kingdom must apologize for this and make compensation that we are satisfied with. Otherwise, it will be flattened directly! As for compensation, Wei Chen believes that it must be They have three cities! The cities must be the three largest salt cities! Plus 90 million taels of gold! So it’s hard for them to do so!"
The Minister of Hubu thought that in this way, he would never have to worry about insufficient money in the future.
Everyone's lips twitched, the three largest salt cities? All Yancheng in Dongling Kingdom has been given to us. Can they agree
Ninety million taels of gold, this is to empty out other people's treasury!
It is estimated that even if the national treasury is emptied, there will not be so much gold!
It's so difficult to do so, and it's crazy to ask Dongling Kingdom to agree to this.
The emperor nodded: "Fang Aiqing, that's right!"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat!
The emperor can't be serious, right? !
The emperor sighed and continued: "I'm afraid Dongling Kingdom would rather die than surrender!"
After hearing this, Manchao Wenwu nodded fiercely!
It's just that everyone didn't say anything. To claim compensation from Dongling Kingdom, they would have to send envoys, which was not an easy task.
Prime Minister Li: "The Minister of Hubu is right. There are only three largest Yancheng cities. This is impossible! I guess two should be enough! In addition, ninety million taels of gold is unlikely. Let's cut it in half! Fifty million Two pieces of gold, so the leader of Dongling Kingdom should be able to come up with it! When we ask for it from Dongling Kingdom, we will make a request to the Minister of Household Affairs to give Dongling Kingdom room to bargain!"
Nalan Jinnian glanced at him and said lightly: "Prime Minister Li is right, it seems that Prime Minister Li already has a plan in mind to claim compensation from Dongling! Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor suggested that Prime Minister Li should go on this mission. Bar!"
Prime Minister Li almost jumped up in fright. He was going on a mission
King Jin wants to kill him!
He smiled bitterly in his heart, it must have been because of what he said to Princess Hui'an that day that King Jin hated him in his heart.
Prime Minister Li hurriedly raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am deeply honored that Your Majesty has such high regard for me. I should have been obliged to do so! It's just that Wei Chen has reached his sixtieth year this year. He has a long journey to Dongling as an envoy. With such an important responsibility, Wei Chen My body may not be able to handle it! When people grow old, they become incapable of doing what they do! If I fall ill along the way, I will have no regrets even if I die, but I am afraid that it will delay the official business, not get justice, and make other countries laugh. It’s a shame that the prime years are no longer there, otherwise the definition would be indispensable!”
Prime Minister Li almost beat his chest in annoyance at the end!
A look like why am I getting old so fast!
All the civil and military officials of the dynasty stopped talking at this time. Well, whoever speaks will be unlucky.
When to speak and when not to speak, they have experience!
The emperor glanced at the civil and military officials of the court, but did not immediately decide on the candidate for the envoy. He said: "My dear friends, go back and think about who is willing to go as an envoy. I will report it tomorrow! This mission requires two people, one civil and one military." An official. I want two cities in Dongling Kingdom and 50 million taels of gold! Whoever can get it back will be rewarded heavily! Okay, let’s go back and think about it. Is there any good way to make Dongling Kingdom make the most compensation? !”
After hearing this, Eunuch Li immediately said: "If there is something to do, we will start to report, but if there is nothing to do, we will withdraw from the court!"
~
Here is the first thing. The emperor plans to select a military general and a civilian official to escort the prisoners of war from the Dongling Kingdom to Dongling and negotiate with Dongling.
Then everyone no longer thought about expanding the city.
The families of the military commanders all wanted to hide each and every one of them, so as not to be selected by the emperor.
Civil servants are also afraid of being sent out by the emperor to become negotiating ministers!
The emperor asked Dongling to hand over two cities and fifty million taels of gold!
How could the Lord of Dongling agree to such harsh conditions
How could such an arduous task be accomplished
All the ministers ordered the children in the family not to go out and cause trouble. They must not cause trouble and attract the attention of the emperor!
The second thing is that the Guo family was ransacked before, but there were more than 20 shops of various sizes selling them.
Then there are more than a dozen Zhuangzi outside the city, with more than a thousand acres of fertile farmland, and there is still fertile farmland in those Zhuangzi.
These are properties in the capital and suburbs, not counting those in other cities!
This shows that he is really a super wealthy family in Beijing!
However, the Guo family has produced several generations of queens, and it is normal for them to have a lot of background.
All the fertile land is classified as royal land. The emperor intends to gradually buy back the land and then distribute it to the farmers. Try to ensure that every farmer in Nalan Kingdom has his own land instead of renting the land of the landlord for farming. He will be busy all year round. , half of them worked for the landlords' families, and the other half couldn't even guarantee food and clothing after paying taxes to the court.
Both the shop and the village put it up for auction.
The emperor plans to use this to make some money to expand the city!
The Minister of Revenue, Mou, worked hard and set the price very high!
The emperor wanted to do something, but he was short of money, so why not ask him to find a solution
He is the most pitiful person who carries only five cents in his pocket every day.
The auction day is five days later, the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At this moment, several sisters from the Wen family were gathered in the same room.
Nuan Nuan took a look at the account book and saw that the family had just collected the profits of several shops in July, as well as a sum of food from Nanning County, and now had more than 800,000 taels of cash.
She planned to buy a shop and a village for each brother and sister in the family, and then buy one for Wen Jiarui and Wu.
Eight hundred thousand taels is simply not enough.
Wen Wen frowned: "The Guo family's shops are all excellent. The smallest one is estimated to cost more than 100,000 taels. We can buy up to three."
Sister Nuan wants to buy eight shops and eight shops. The money difference is too big!
Moreover, she also wants to buy those restaurants and inns of the Guo family. Those two restaurants and inns are the largest restaurants and inns in the capital. It is impossible to buy them without more than 500,000 taels!
Wen Xin nodded: "But the opportunity is rare. If I don't buy it, I don't know when such a good shop and village will be sold next time."
She had already visited these shops and shops, and she wanted to buy them.
Wen Ran waved his hand: "Buy! We brothers and sisters share a room. I will make pills now and make money! There is a big Mid-Autumn Festival sale. I will sell a lot of various expensive pills in Brother Feng's drug store, and pills that are usually limited. First come first served! If it’s just money, I don’t believe I can’t get it!”
Wen Ran's pills are all very expensive because they are very effective and are made of health-preserving herbs. In order to maintain a high price, she has always limited her supply to ten pills every month.
Now that we have to make money, naturally we will sell as much as we can. There will be an unlimited supply during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we will accept reservations!
