Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 438 More money is needed

"Join hands with Lu Chenfu on Luzon Island, help him deal with the navy commander Wu Meng, take control of the navy, and then get Lu Chenfu's 100,000 gold and many compensations."

"Afterwards, he assisted Lu Chenfu in suppressing the navies of the other two warlords..."

"Good guy!"

"He caused quite a stir over in Luzon."

Su Chen put down the letter in his hand, held the teacup and said with interest, "It has only been a short time since he went out to sea, but he has already caused a storm on the sea. If he continues to go south, won't those coastal countries and island countries be immersed in Su Bin's tyranny?"

"Well done, well done."

Su Chen looked at Sun Qiang with a smile, "Have the gold, silver and jewelry from the grocery store been delivered?"

Sun Qiang nodded and said, "There is indeed news from the grocery store that a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry is on the way to Chang'an City."

"However, because the uncle of the emperor caused quite a stir in Luzon, a lot of ammunition was wasted, so I hope to get some replenishment through the grocery store."

"It should."

Su Chen nodded, picked up a piece of paper and pen, quickly wrote a visiting card, and handed it to Sun Qiang, "Take my visiting card and go to the Ministry of Industry. Ask Feng Baojun of the Manufacturing Bureau to prepare a batch of ammunition and transport it to Lingnan as quickly as possible through the grocery store."

"I think they should have been replenishing supplies and recuperating in Xunzhou during this period of time."

"clear."

Sun Qiang left with Su Chen's visiting card.

Su Chen picked up the letter sent by Su Bin again, and wanted to laugh as he read it.

He is not going to open up sea channels, he is clearly going to expand territory!

The largest group on Luzon Island today is undoubtedly Lu Chenfu. It is impossible for Su Bin to just ask for assistance money and compensation.

From now on, when cargo ships pass through Luzon, Lu Chenfu will also provide certain assistance.

But...

Su Chen knocked on the table and turned his gaze to the map beside him.

Luzon.

This is a very special place.

Its largest port, the Port of Manila, will become the largest channel of entry and exit in the upcoming voyages.

Lu Chenfu actively sought Su Bin's assistance, which certainly could not be as simple as wanting to become the overlord of Luzon Island.

He wants to be king.

It must be recognized by other countries.

At least we have to get the recognition from the Tang Dynasty, the strongest dynasty around.

In this way, he will be able to sit firmly on the throne without worrying about the troubles happening around him, and he will also have enough time and energy to deal with the other people in Luzon.

Su Chen smiled and stood up, "Jin Yong, Gu Xiao, follow me into the palace."

……

royal palace.

In the imperial study room.

Li Chengqian looked at the news that had just been delivered, with a hint of amusement on his face.

Cui Wei is quite courageous.

It seems that we made the right choice by sending him to Japan this time.

"Your Majesty, the King of Side by Side has arrived."

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian looked up with suspicion, and saw Su Chen walking in from outside.

"It's rare for you to come to my imperial study."

Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, and Tiancai tactfully brought a chair to Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Isn't this a happy event?"

"Happy event?"

Li Chengqian glanced at the news on the desktop, then looked at Su Chen and asked, "Have you heard about it?"

Su Chen: "It seems you know it too."

Li Chengqian nodded.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Then draft an edict to confer the title of King of Luzon on Lu Chenfu."

"what?"

Li Chengqian was stunned.

Lu Chenfu?
Where did this guy come from?
"Who is he? Why should he be crowned king?"

"Don't you know everything?"

"possible……"

Li Chengqian shrugged, "We are not talking about the same thing."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, "Su Bin went out to sea for business this time. When he arrived in Luzon, he was harassed by the people of Luzon, so Su Bin led his men to kill them."

"what?"

Li Chengqian looked strange.

Su Bin led his men into Luzon?

"Most of the people in Luzon are independent, and many of them have declared themselves kings. Because they control the ports and docks, they have accumulated a lot of wealth and recruited a lot of soldiers."

Su Chen nodded, "Yes, the one who attacked Su Bin this time was the largest group, General Fu Bo under Lu Chenfu, who called himself the King of Luzon."

"..."

After Su Chen said this, it doesn’t seem so powerful.

Just a small general under the strongest man.

"But what's interesting is that Su Bin actually reached a cooperative relationship with Lu Chenfu, and carried out a siege against General Fu Bo's rebellion, and assisted Lu Chenfu in resisting the attacks of other troops."

"This time, Su Bing made a profit of more than 100,000 yuan in cash and several hundred thousand yuan in silver. He has not yet calculated all the precious things, but they are already on their way to Chang'an City with the help of the grocery store staff."

"So many?"

Li Chengqian almost stood up, "He has only been out to sea for less than a month."

Su Chen shrugged, "This is what he said in the letter. I guess it's not perfect yet. There should be more than this."

hiss.

It was indeed a good choice to let him go abroad to do business.

"and many more!"

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "You just said that you wanted me to draft an edict to confer the title of King of Luzon on Lu Chenfu?"

Su Chen nodded, "Lu Chenfu compensated so readily this time and cooperated with Su Bin, don't you find it strange?"

"You mean, he wants to be on the list of Su Bing, and even on the list of our Tang Dynasty, so that he can take this opportunity to become the real king of Luzon."

"good."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Since he has shown such great sincerity, there is no need for us to be stingy."

"Give him a title of king. When our ships go out to sea, it will be very convenient. Moreover, it will not be a loss for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengqian nodded after thinking for a while. Just one trip to the sea brought so much profit, what else is there to say?

The sea is out of meditation.

and.

There was no loss for them in conferring the title of Lu Chenfu. It was just a title, but they could gain a lot of conveniences.

It's a huge profit with no investment.

"can."

Li Chengqian nodded.

Su Chen: "Then it's your turn to tell us what the happy event you just mentioned is."

Li Chengqian smiled and handed the message on the table to Su Chen, "Take a look for yourself."

Su Chen looked carefully.

After landing in Japan, Cui Wei first expressed disdain for the nine-story pagoda built by Emperor Shumei. After some contempt, he took a fancy to Emperor Shumei's empress when summoned by Emperor Shumei.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Although it caused dissatisfaction among Emperor Shumei and other Japanese ministers, it was eventually suppressed by Emperor Shumei.

In the next three days, Cui Wei went in and out of the harem, and stayed overnight with the queen and concubines... Emperor Shu Ming was furious, beheaded the queen and concubines, and threw Cui Wei into prison...

Good guy.

Su Chen’s eyes almost popped out.

He really slept with someone else’s wife!

This guy is such a talent.

It would be better than asking you to be an envoy of the Han Dynasty!

"Great, great."

Su Chen was amazed. "According to Cui Wei's tricks, he will die in Japan in a few days."

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, "Liu Rengui and the others should be ready."

Su Chen deeply agreed with this.

The day when Cui Wei died was the day when the Tang Dynasty sent troops.

By then.

One after another, the improved tower ships will head towards Japan. It seems that Japan's gold and silver mines will no longer be hidden.

"By the way, where is Su Bin now?"

Li Chengqian seemed to have thought of something. "They made such a big fuss in Luzon. They must have used up most of their troops and ammunition, right?"

Su Chen nodded, "I have asked Sun Qiang to take my request to the Ministry of Industry and order Feng Baojun to prepare ammunition and send it to Xunzhou through the grocery store."

Li Chengqian: "Are they currently resting in Xunzhou?"

"Exactly."

"In that case, let's send the decree to confer the title of Lu Chenfu over as well."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It's really unexpected that I can get so much profit just by receiving the decree of conferring the title."

"No no no."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "This is just the beginning."

……

The next day.

A caravan left Chang'an quietly, carrying a large amount of weapons and ammunition, as well as the imperial edict with the ink still wet.

The leader was naturally Zhang Siwen, one of the former guards of the Eastern Palace.

This person had once gone with Wang Chong to look for Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, and his abilities were quite good.

He led a group of people to Xunzhou to look for Su Bin, and continued to move south with Su Bin, so Su Bin's safety could be guaranteed to a certain extent.

and.

If there were any short-sighted fellows who wanted to make a move on the imperial edicts, ammunition and weapons that they were escorting, Zhang Siwen and his 500 elite soldiers would be enough to make those people bleed.

Xunzhou.

Su Bin lay comfortably in the rocking chair in the inn, enjoying the afternoon sunshine.

During this period, although we did not go out to sea and continue heading south, we still gained many benefits from Luzon.

Even Lu Chenfu cried poor in front of him more than once, saying that all the savings he had accumulated over the years had been emptied by Su Bin.

Su Bin sneered at this.

Although Lu Chenfu's family fortune might have been emptied by him, during this period of time, Lu Chenfu swept away several large numbers of warlords and disloyal sons.

These people have more or less resources in their hands.

Such as gold mines, such as ports!
All these things fell into Lu Chenfu's hands. In comparison, what were Lu Chenfu's assets worth?

"I have met the uncle of the emperor."

"It's from Shopkeeper Wang, but has there been any news from Chang'an?"

"My Lord, please understand."

Shopkeeper Wang said cheerfully, "Chang'an sent a message that your majesty and King Bingjian have prepared a lot of ammunition and weapons for you, and they are on their way to Xunzhou."

"In addition, King Bingjian has specially prepared an imperial decree for you."

"Oh?"

Su Bin became more alert. "Imperial edict? What imperial edict?"

"It's about the imperial decree to confer the title of King on Lu Chenfu of Luzon."

"Wonderful."

Su Bin clapped his hands and laughed, "Su Chen really has won my heart."

"With this imperial edict, he is now truly worthy of the title of King of Luzon, and is completely tied to us."

If his previous cooperation with Lu Chenfu was an agreement reached in private that could not be made public, then with this imperial edict, everything became open and aboveboard.

and.

From now on, Tang Dynasty ships will be taken care of when passing through Luzon.

If Luzon dares to attack the Tang Dynasty's ships, then the king of Luzon will have to change his name.

I think since they have given Lu Chenfu such a good opportunity, he will not refuse it.

"Yes, it's all thanks to my uncle."

"No no no."

"I just did it casually."

Su Bin touched his chin and said, "But this imperial decree can be manipulated."

"What does the uncle mean?"

"He, the King of Luzon, has never been recognized. Now that he has this opportunity, I think he will not miss it, so..."

"so?"

"You have to pay more!"
