Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 260 Ouyang Lun gets all the benefits, and we both take the blame? (Please subscribe!!!)
"You two are the kings of words when it comes to relationships!"

Ouyang Lun said angrily.

"King with strong mouth? What is it?"

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, please don't talk nonsense. My second brother and I are just Dukes of the country. We have not yet been crowned kings, let alone kings!"

Tang He and Xu Da spoke quickly.

When Ouyang Lun heard this, he rolled his eyes in anger.

"The king of words means that you two only talk about it and don't take practical actions. You only make excuses!"

Tang He and Xu Da were suddenly embarrassed.

"What you said is quite appropriate, but you shouldn't be called the King of Zuiqiang, you should be called the Duke of Zuiqiang!"

"Correct answer, my name is Duke Zuiqiangxin, and the third son is Duke Zuiqiang Wei. Your Majesty is the real and strongest king!"

"." Ouyang Lun's face was full of black lines, "Hey! The title is not the point at all, right?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you about this."

"I'd like to emphasize again that the purpose of our cash collection is to let the people know that food comes from hard sources and cannot be wasted at will. The other reason is to let officials know that every effort is rewarded, so they can be more active in doing things. I, Ouyang Lun, don't value money at all!"

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Tang He and Xu Da also rolled their eyes.

This is not the first time they have met Ouyang Lun, don't they know him well?

It's obvious that he just wants to make money and have people be grateful to him. This guy really plays with people's hearts!

How much land is there in the entire Beizhili?
Even if the land is barren and not as rich as those in the south of the Yangtze River, there are still 4000 to 1000 million acres. One acre of land is worth one tael. This amount alone can be tens of millions of taels. Of course, it is impossible for all the land to be Plant sweet potatoes, but conservatively you can earn [-] million taels.

Will Ouyang Lun obediently hand over this money to the national treasury?

Totally impossible!
Everything else is easy to say. After all, he is now the chief envoy of Beizhili and the commander of the capital. He has the military and political power in one hand, and he is a proper number one. He is no different from the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the people also support and willingly hand over. Money, no one will say anything.

The only one is Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. If he knew that Ouyang Lun relied on sweet potatoes and could collect 1000 million in seed fees alone, and the 1000 million was not handed over, I don't know how angry he would be.

Thinking of this, Tang He and Xu Da looked at each other, and they could already imagine Zhu Yuanzhang's rage in the palace in the capital.

"Third brother, last time because of doing business with the prairie people, Ouyang Lun was used as a gunman by this boy. In the end, he just gave us a roasted whole lamb and a meal of wine, which made the two of us be killed by His Majesty. Dunbu, we must be more careful this time!"

Tang He said softly.

Xu Da nodded solemnly, "Second brother, you are right. Ouyang Lun has taken all the benefits. Why should we take the blame?"

"His Majesty's letter this time made it very clear that we have to help him keep an eye on Ouyang Lun. If necessary, we can mobilize the Jin Yiwei. With the Jin Yiwei as his helper, he will never be able to trick us brothers!"

Tang He: "Good brother, we have agreed that no one can compromise with Ouyang Lun, let alone betray the other!"

Xu Da: "Second brother, you still can't trust me, Xu Da! But don't sell me out!"

Tang He: "Don't worry, our brotherly relationship was forged from the blood of Daoshan. How could it be broken because of one Ouyang Lun?"

Ouyang Lun turned his head and asked doubtfully: "Second uncle, third uncle, what are you two muttering behind my back? Are you plotting something?"

Tang He and Xu Da quickly shook their heads and spoke with a smile.

"No, no, nephew Ouyang Xian, please don't misunderstand me!"

"That is, what is our relationship? How could we conspire to harm you!"

Ouyang Lun looked at the two of them carefully. The suspicion in his eyes did not dissipate, but he did not continue to ask, "By the way, uncle, there are enough workers on the Great Wall. Your [-] Northern Expeditionary Army can withdraw."

Ah!
Xu Da was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head, "Nephew Ouyang Xian, this is not okay!"

"why not?"

"One hundred thousand Northern Expeditionary troops work on the construction site of the Great Wall. They have food, shelter and wages. It's much better than me taking them to farm. They can generate tens of thousands of military expenditures a month. If this is the construction site If we don't want them, what will they eat and drink?" Xu Da said hurriedly.

Forehead.
Ouyang Lun said speechlessly: "No, third uncle and your Northern Expeditionary Army still rely on me?"

"Let's be reasonable. The Northern Expeditionary Army was originally a temporary loan. I was impeached many times for this matter. My emperor's father-in-law first ordered a rebuke and sent the Minister of Punishment as an imperial envoy to investigate the matter. If I hadn't really I don’t have any other ideas, I’ll probably be dead by now.”

"Now the construction site of the Great Wall has entered a stable stage. With workers from other provinces in place, the manpower is quite sufficient, and the project progress is also advancing steadily. It is expected that the Great Wall and the attached new city will be completed next year. There is no need for me to borrow ten more Thousands of troops from the Northern Expedition!"

"Third uncle, the Northern Expeditionary Army is used to defend our country, not to build the Great Wall. You have to understand the relationship between priorities!"

Xu Da was stunned by Ouyang Lun's rhetoric.

Wait, after all, I am also the Duke of the country and Ouyang Lun's elder. How come I am being disciplined by him like my grandson?
But the real person in charge of the new city project is Ouyang Lun. He is a helper at best. The personnel and financial power are all in the hands of Ouyang Lun. He wants to keep the [-] Northern Expeditionary Army from unemployment.
Xu Da rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea, and said: "Nephew Ouyang, I have very important news here. Do you want to know it? As long as you promise to let the Northern Expeditionary Army continue to work, I will tell you!"

When Tang He heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Lao San, we have agreed that we have to advance and retreat together, and you just sold me out like this?"

Xu Da shook his head and said helplessly: "Second brother, don't blame me. There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I have more than [-] brothers to support. If they don't work on the construction site, they won't be able to make more money." Less than half."

"." Tang He.

Looking at the looks of Tang He and Xu Da, Ouyang Lun suddenly became interested, "Third uncle, tell me, as long as the information is useful, I can guarantee that the Northern Expeditionary Army will continue to have things to do and make money!"

"Just waiting for your words!"

Xu Da's eyes lit up, and then he said: "His Majesty wrote me a letter. The content of the letter was basically to ask us to keep a close eye on you. At the same time, he agreed to your marriage to Asuna, the daughter of the leader of the Chita tribe. Of course Asuna Na can only be a concubine."

"In addition, I was asked to contact the Chita tribe about this matter."

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun was also shocked, "My emperor father-in-law would actually agree to my marriage to Azuna??!"

"Yeah." Xu Da nodded.

"Then you have already contacted the Chita tribe?" Ouyang Lun asked quickly.

"No, I originally planned to go after seeing you." Xu Da said truthfully.

"Then don't go now." Ouyang Lun shook his head.

"How can that be done? This is a task entrusted to us by His Majesty. In addition to coming to you today, we also have to ask Princess Anqing what she wants. As long as Princess Anqing does not object to you taking a concubine, then you only need to prepare to be the groom. That’s it.” Xu Da said.

"Third uncle, do you want your [-] Northern Expedition troops to lose their jobs?" Ouyang Lun asked calmly.

"Uh" Xu Da was stunned, "Are you threatening me?!"

"No, no, how can I threaten Third Uncle? I just want to make a deal with Third Uncle. As long as Third Uncle you agree to my request, I guarantee that the [-] Northern Expedition troops will not only not lose their jobs, but will also earn more in the future. So much money! If you don’t think about yourself, you also think about the soldiers and soldiers under your command. There is no war at the border right now, and you are just idle when you are idle. If you don’t take the opportunity to make more money, what will you do when you get old in the future? "

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"But if Your Majesty knows that I did not go to the Chita tribe to discuss marriage, I cannot afford to disobey the will!" Xu Da said worriedly.

Ouyang Lun thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about this. If my emperor's father-in-law asks, just say that everything is in progress. If you continue to ask, just say that Princess Anqing disagrees!"

Xu Da thought for a while and nodded, "This is feasible."

"But I'm very curious. My second brother and I have also met Azuna. She is a stunning beauty with a heroic appearance. Don't you want to marry her home?"

Ouyang Lun shook his head, "I am not a gentleman, but this kind of thing depends on fate and feelings. Like the two uncles, I have only met each other once, so we got married in a hurry, let alone an arranged marriage. I always feel like I’m trying to get someone else’s attention.”

"Besides, the Chita tribe is so anxious to marry the Ming Dynasty for the safety of its own tribe. Even if Azuna says she is willing to marry me, she might sacrifice herself for the sake of the tribe. Doesn't this happen too often? ?”

Hearing this, Xu Da nodded, "Nephew Ouyang Xian, what you said makes sense."

Tang He followed up and said: "It makes sense, but what about the Chita tribe? They are very worried about their own safety now. I heard that there are already tribes on the grassland that are jealous of the Chita tribe, and one of them is a famous one. The Duoyan tribe, this Duoyan tribe is a large tribe, and the Duoyan cavalry is also famous throughout the grassland!"

Ouyang Lun smiled and said, "I've heard about this too, and the solution is very simple."

"any solution?"

Xu Da, Tang He asked curiously.

"Joint military exercise!" Ouyang Lun said a term.

"Joint military exercise?!"

This was the first time they had heard this term.

"That's right, it's a joint military exercise!" Ouyang Lun continued: "The so-called joint military exercise means that our Ming army and the Chita tribe army will conduct offensive and defensive drills together. Assuming a specific enemy, they will mobilize the army to test the army. Strength, secondly, allows the army to adapt to battlefield conditions in advance, and thirdly, it naturally shows off its muscles!"

"Let me tell everyone clearly that the Chita tribe is protected by my Ming Dynasty. If you want to touch them, you must think carefully!"

"Wonderful!!"

"Why haven't we thought of this before?"

Xu Da and Tang He were so excited that they applauded Ouyang Lun's suggestion.

Xu Da directly took Ouyang Lun's hand and said, "Nephew Ouyang, this joint military exercise you mentioned is really great. I have been training troops in northern Xinjiang for a long time and have always wanted to test the actual combat capabilities of the army, but Your Majesty I was also issued a strict order that I am not allowed to lead troops to attack without an order from the imperial court, but if we conduct joint military exercises, there will be no problem at all."

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, I have decided to start preparing for the military exercise immediately. My second brother and I will still go to the Chita tribe, but not to discuss marriage, but to discuss joint military exercises. In this way, I My second brother and I have an explanation to His Majesty and the Chita tribe!"

"Do you agree?"

Ouyang Lun spread his hands and said, "Third uncle, although I am the commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang, in the military field, you are the well-deserved commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang. This is just a suggestion. If you want to do it, we will do it for you in Northern Xinjiang." I will give my full support to you. In this way, when your Northern Expeditionary Army conducts military exercises, I will also send troops and militiamen from the Northern Expeditionary Army to assist. In addition, the time during the military exercises will be counted as overtime for the soldiers, and their wages will be calculated as [-] times!"

"If the military exercise is effective, we will give credit and rewards to the soldiers who performed well!"

"Okay! This is great!" Xu Da smiled from ear to ear.

"However, Third Uncle, you have to think about the joint military exercise yourself. It is best to draw up a military exercise plan and list out what each army will do and what results it will achieve. Then you go to Li Fuyuan and Xu Liang, Zhao Tianming and He Fang, please don't bother me." The joint military exercise was tiring and troublesome, so it was difficult for him to take care of it. Since Xu Da was so active, he naturally couldn't let it go.

"There's nothing wrong with that, but after I write up the military exercise plan, I'd better send it to you for a look. Without you to help me check it, I won't feel at ease." Xu Da thought for a while and nodded.

"It's okay to help you look at the plan." Ouyang Lun continued: "Is there anything else going on with the two uncles? Just go and get busy if you have nothing to do. I have to go back and lie down for a while, take a nap or something. I was taken down early in the morning. The officials and people from all over the place below woke me up and talked to you two for a long time, and I was almost exhausted."

"and many more!"

Just when Ouyang Lun was about to turn around and leave, Tang He spoke.

"Second uncle, are you okay with something?" Ouyang Lun said helplessly.

Tang He smiled and said, "Good nephew, your Majesty also wrote me a letter. Do you want to know the content of the letter?"

"My emperor's father-in-law is really a thief. He actually wrote to both of you at the same time. Could it be that he was plotting against me?"

"Second uncle, what are your conditions?" Ouyang Lun asked.

"My conditions are very simple. First, restore my VIP card in heaven and earth, and secondly! I need a 055 cruise ship!"

"I am also the Director of Defense of the Ming Dynasty now. The entire coast of the Ming Dynasty and all the major naval forces are under my command. I have to get a big ship as my vehicle!"

"My conditions are very reasonable, you must be willing."

Hearing this, the corner of Ouyang Lun's mouth twitched, "Uncle Third, your conditions are indeed reasonable. It's reasonable for a lion to open its mouth!"

"The cost of a 055 large-scale drive is one million!!"
