Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 151 Planning for Goryeo
Zhu Di was full of doubts, "The Korean envoy couldn't even afford 1000 taels of silver, and Guo Qing knew about it."

Guo An chuckled and said, "Your Highness, what I want is that the Korean envoys can't afford enough money.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Korean envoy is the envoy of a country, no matter how annoying you are, you must not assassinate this person!"

Guo An looked depressed, "Your Highness, this minister is really a good man!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded indifferently, and asked directly, "How does Guo Qing want to sell it to the Korean envoy?"

Guo An said helplessly: "Borrow!"

"Loan?"

Zhu Di was taken aback.

Zhu Fu's eyes were also full of strangeness.

"Exactly!"

Guo An said with a smile on his face: "Since the Korean envoy wants so much to obtain the secret technique of planting vegetables in the cold winter of my Prince Yan's mansion, and His Highness is a virtuous king with a heart like a bodhisattva, then sell it to him!"

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction, he was very satisfied with the bodhisattva heart in Guo An's words.

As for Zhu Fu, his eyelids twitched the most. Guo Thief actually bewitched His Highness King Yan so much. How could His Highness King Yan be a Bodhisattva...

Um?Guo thief's heart is getting darker and darker, His Royal Highness King Yan is the heart of a Bodhisattva!

Guo An continued: "However, 1 taels of silver is not small money after all, and His Highness is only a prince of Ming Dynasty. In order to prevent the Korean envoy from using the secret technique of growing vegetables in cold winter, he did not trust him.

Therefore, the loan contract needs to be printed with the seal of his Korean envoy.

Of course, it would be great if the seal of the King of Korea could be stamped on the loan contract! "

"The seal of King Goryeo?"

At this moment, Zhu Di couldn't help yearning, "Is it really so?"

"You can!"

Guo An nodded affirmatively and said: "If the King of Koryo doesn't stamp his seal, then he won't lend them silver taels, and won't sell them the secret technique of growing vegetables in cold winter."

"Very good!"

Zhu Di looked happy.

But Zhu Fu asked: "What if the envoys of Korea want to borrow more money to buy transparent glass secrets and cement recipes?"

"Transparent glass secrets are available for sale."

Guo An replied: "But the cement secret technique, they are wishful thinking!"

"That's 20 taels of silver. How can the King of Korea pay it back?"

Thinking of something suddenly, Zhu Di couldn't help but looked at Guo An suspiciously.

Guo An grinned and said, "Your Highness, it's just 20 taels of silver. Wouldn't it be better for him to pay it back?"

Zhu Di was furious, "That's 21 taels of silver!"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, you didn't really lend them 20 taels of silver, you just gave them a loan contract and two secret techniques."

Zhu Di calmed down and looked at Guo An with weird eyes.

"That's true, Guo Qing's heart is getting darker and darker!"

Guo An: "..."

Zhu Di asked again: "But what does this king think? This is all because of this king's outpouring of kindness and doing good things for the Korean barbarians. What does it have to do with opening up the territory of the Ming Dynasty?"

Guo An asked: "Your Highness, what if the Goryeo Kingdom can't pay back the 21 taels of silver? Or, the Goryeo King violated the contract and revealed the secret technique of transparent glass and the secret technique of growing vegetables in cold winter to others?"

Zhu Di was furious: "Then Goryeo Guoan dared to bully this king, and this king led troops to destroy them!"

Guo An laughed and said, "Your Highness is mighty!"

Zhu Di was startled, but suddenly realized, he laughed and looked at Guo An with admiration.

"Guo Qing is indeed a great talent for seeking the country!"

"His Royal Highness is absurd!"

Guo An said modestly.

Zhu Fu was full of worry, "Your Highness, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty declared to all countries to live in peace and share the blessing of peace."

"We know."

Zhu Di smiled faintly, "Father thinks that these vassal states are very poor, and if they attack these vassal states, they will use military force, exhaust the teachers and the people, and even promulgate a sea ban.

But now that Goryeo dares to bully the king, how can we bear it?

and……"

Having said that, Zhu Di's eyes are full of coldness.

"Nowadays, the sea is full of delicious sea fish. Sooner or later, Ming Dynasty will clash with these vassal states!"

Zhu Fu looked a little dignified, and his thoughts were relatively stable, and he didn't want to conquer those foreign countries.

However, what Zhu Di said was not unreasonable.

It is even possible that the capricious Goryeo might violate the contract.

As for whether the envoys of Goryeo and the King of Goryeo will sign a contract?
Neither Zhu Di nor Zhu Fu had any doubts. According to the temperament of the Koryo Kingdom who likes to take advantage, how could they miss this good thing?

really.

When Li Shihou, the envoy of Korea, heard the request from Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he agreed without thinking about it.

"His Royal Highness King Yan is merciful!"

After performing the salute respectfully, Master Li looked at Zhu Di again, and said expectantly, "The foreign minister begs His Royal Highness King Yan to sell the cement secret technique to the foreign minister on loan."

Zhu Di smiled coldly and asked, "Master Li, do you know how much the cement secret technique is worth?"

Li Shihou quickly replied: "To His Royal Highness King Yan, the price of cement secret technique is 100 taels of silver."

Zhu Di looked at Li Shihou quietly, and asked, "Then, can your country of Korea afford the one million taels of silver?"

"Report to His Royal Highness King Yan, Foreign Minister Goryeo..."

Li Shihou hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to lie to Zhu Di.

"The foreign ministers dare not lie to His Royal Highness King Yan, and the foreign ministers don't know either!"

"Okay, you quickly take the deed paper back to your Koryo country, and let the king of Koryo seal it. Afterwards, this king will give you the transparent glass and the secret technique of growing vegetables in cold winter."

Zhu Di waved his hand slowly, and didn't want to talk to the Korean envoy.

"The foreign minister obeys the order!"

Li Shihou hurriedly saluted Zhu Di respectfully, and then retreated outside.

The day.

The Koryo envoys bid farewell to Bi Wenxi, the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, and set off from Dagukou with the Koryo fleet to return to Koryo.

Bi Wenxuan, the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, bid farewell to Zhu Di in person, and returned to the capital to return the order!

at the same time.

a few days later.

The capital, the imperial palace, and Fengtian Hall.

After Lao Zhu heard about what Zhu Di had done in Beiping Mansion during this period of time, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"In just one month, the fourth child earned 120 million taels empty-handed. I'm afraid the second and third child will all be jealous!"

Zhu Biao replied with a light smile: "Father is wise, according to the temperament of the second, third, and fifth, I'm afraid they would like to bring all the guards to Beiping Mansion to find the fourth and grab half of the money."

"However, don't say that the second and third children are jealous. After hearing so much money, my son is also a little jealous."

"The fourth son, the prodigal son, also distributed 10% of the long history Guo An, 10 taels of silver. He even distributed [-] taels of silver to the officials, artisans, and guards.

However, we feel a little relieved that the fourth child didn't get into the money trap! "

"Father is wise!"

Zhu Biao once again flattered, and then talked about the most important thing this time, "The fourth brother actually wants to make an idea of ​​the Goryeo country, can the father ask the son to write a letter to let the fourth child calm down for a while?
My son was worried that the Koryo Congress would anger the fourth child, and according to the fourth child's personality, he would really dare to take the three guards of Yanshan into the Koryo country... In this way, many people would surely die. "

"No need to worry!"

Old Zhu shook his head slowly, "We didn't know how to deal with the vassal states like Goryeo and Wa, so we were willing to live in peace with them and share the blessing of peace.

However, we are really annoyed by Goryeo's capricious and greedy villain. If the fourth child can teach that Goryeo child a hard lesson, it will be regarded as a resentment for us.

As for people who will die, there is no such thing as an immortal in war.

However, the fourth child will not be that kind of reckless person..."

"I see……"

Zhu Biao couldn't help thinking.

……

Beiping Prefecture.

It has been more than two months since the sale of transparent glass and secret recipes for growing vegetables in cold winter.

Next to the iron smelter in Shangzhuang Village, Beiping Prefecture, there are two more huge workshops surrounded by a ten-foot-high concrete wall.

Zhangjiawan Wharf in Tongzhou has also expanded more than ten times, even if thousands of large ships are put down at the same time, it will not be crowded.

Around the pier, there are neat rows of concrete houses.

Densely packed, like a military camp.

Moreover, these concrete houses are indestructible, no matter how the young adults and merchants who come to stay and hang out, hammer or pedal, they will not move.

Even some daggers and steel knives cut on it, leaving only a white mark.

However, you must know that the people in many villages now live in dilapidated houses built with small earthen walls, which are dilapidated, and sometimes strong winds can blow them down.

And now, there is such a strong house in Beiping Mansion?
All of a sudden, the reputation was greatly shaken, and all the passing ship dealers and merchants were full of curiosity.

There are also some merchants who come to check the concrete houses.

As a result, there are more and more boats and people at Zhangjiawan Wharf.

Naturally, the business of the restaurants, restaurants, bathhouses, and inns at Zhangjiawan Wharf is getting better and better.

"Wonderful!"

Standing at the top of a five-storey restaurant, you can see the entire Zhangjiawan Wharf.

Zhu Di said with joy on his face: "Nowadays, the prosperity of Zhangjiawan Wharf has already lost to that of Haizi Wharf."

On the side, Guo An replied, "The Zhangjiawan Wharf can have such a grand event, thanks to His Highness's support."

Zhu Di asked: "I heard that in the past ten days, all the shops in Zhangjiawan Wharf have earned tens of thousands of taels of silver?"

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded and replied, "As long as these passing merchants come to Zhangjiawan Wharf, they can't help but want to live in the inn built by cement houses, or go to take a hot bath, and then be bathed by those people The teacher rubbed it hard."

"So, after a long time, they had to eat in restaurants and wine shops on the pier.

And on the row of streets below, there are many exquisite gadgets. Many merchants have children, wives and concubines in their families. They may be reluctant to buy them after a glance.

However, there are still some children on the pier, and the women are showing.

As long as these merchants pass by a few times, they can no longer hold back...

Even, some merchants were more flexible, and bought a bunch of them directly, and returned to their hometowns to give to some relatives, friends, or some officials...

In this way, His Highness, don't underestimate the peddlers on the street who are pushing small wooden carts and selling gadgets.

They earn a lot of money every day..."

Following Guo An's introduction, both Zhu Di and Zhu Fu couldn't help but widen their eyes and their faces were full of shock.

"I really don't know how Guo Qing came up with such a dark idea!"

"Your Highness, I did not force those merchants to buy. It may be that they have earned a lot of money in my Beiping Mansion. They feel ashamed in their hearts, and they also want these merchants and peddlers in my Beiping Mansion to earn some of their money! "

Guo An smiled lightly.

"It makes sense!"

Zhu Di smiled lightly, and suddenly noticed something, his expression froze, and he pointed to a place and asked.

"Guo Qing, Zhu Qing, is the monk below Master Daoyan?"
