After saying that, he deliberately glared at Wang Chengen again.

"Look at Eunuch Wang. He has never been to school and he can even get such a simple account wrong!"

"One ship costs 900 taels of silver, plus the tax of 999 taels. If we add one tael of silver, it will be taels."

"Three hundred and sixty-five ships, exactly three hundred and sixty-five thousand taels."

Li Jong: ???

Damn, did I borrow too much?

He stared blankly at the withdrawal receipt in his hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Just at this moment, he heard the conversation between Wang Zheng and King Shang Feng, and he instantly fell into confusion.

this.........

Also with temporary factories?

He looked at the withdrawal receipt again...

I seem to have heard someone in Beijing say recently that when it comes to doing business, the more capital you have, the more money you can earn?

In that case.......

He gritted his teeth and handed the withdrawal receipt to Wu Chunfu.

"Master Wu!"

"All this silver is given to you. Use it all to build ships for me!"

"I haven't read much, but I believe in you. I'll take as many as you make!"

Wu Chunfu:........

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility. Even if we build a shipyard, it will take at least two to three years to build more than 3,000 ships!"

"Three years is three years. This king can wait!"

While Li Jong was speaking, he glanced at King Shangfeng again.

Nana's...........

I have fought against the Jurchens together with Your Majesty. You are just a prince from a small country. Let's see what you can bring to compete with me this time!

Chapter 583 Rakshasa Cavalry

King Shangfeng had just concluded the sale of 500 ships when he turned around and heard what Li Jong said.

Ma Maipi.......

This guy who smells like kimchi, is he doing it on purpose?

I only got 500 ships, but this guy directly asked for more than 3,000 ships!

Judging from the scale, all the fishing grounds have been occupied by him, so what can I do?

He raised his eyebrows, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Then he bowed to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty!"

"The little prince has a favor to ask, please grant me your approval."

"My dear, please speak frankly."

"Your Majesty! I would like to ask for your consent to designate the area within 50 miles of the Ryukyu Islands as my fishing grounds..."

Since there are not as many ships as others, it is better to take over the sea area in front of our home first.

In this way, we can ensure a good harvest regardless of drought or flood, right?

Zhu Youxiao was very surprised to hear this.

This guy actually saw the importance of sea power from the matter of fishing?

"Okay, I agree!"

"From now on, except for local fishing boats in Ryukyu, no fishing boats will be allowed to enter the 50-li radius of Ryukyu without a pass issued by the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

King Shangfeng bowed happily, then rolled his eyes at Li Jong.

So what if you have a lot of ships?

Do you dare to come to my Ryukyu and try?

However, Li Jong didn't take his attitude to heart at all. He thought that just a small Ryukyu was not worth getting angry about.

A guy who has never seen the world!

Aren’t the fishing grounds in Hokkaido, Japan the most productive?

The Ming Dynasty is already attacking Japan. As long as Japan becomes the capital of Japan, it will become a place for them to make a fortune!

Also, with more than 3,000 boats under my control, I will not be so stupid as to only go fishing...

The spices from Luzon and Java are more profitable than fishing!

One was an inner vassal, the other an outer vassal. Both of them had their own ulterior motives and were secretly competing with each other.

Zhu Youxiao looked at this scene and felt indescribably happy.

Just as he was about to send these two men back to stand in the queue, he saw Zhen Beiwang rushing over in a hurry.

All the officials were very surprised at his appearance. This was a grand court meeting, why were the Jinyiwei coming here?

"Your Majesty, Lin Dan Khan has arrived!"

After these words were spoken, the Minister of Rites Meng Shaoyu and the Minister of War Sun Chengzong could not help but frown.

There was no role for Lin Danhan in the pre-arranged segments.

Zhen Beiwang seemed to see the confusion of the crowd and hurriedly explained: "Lin Danhan came from Mobei and just entered the city 20 minutes ago!"

"Waiting outside the Meridian Gate right now!"

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand to look at his watch. Before he knew it, it was already past seven o'clock.

"Let him in."

"Your Majesty has ordered that Lindan Khan be summoned to the audience!"

Wei Zhongxian took a step forward and shouted in a hoarse voice.

The Jinyiwei outside the palace took turns to pass on the order.

Not long after, Lin Danhan, with a haggard face, came to the Huangji Palace under the guidance of the Jinyiwei.

"Little Khan Lin Dan, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"May the glory of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty be like the sun, illuminating every corner of the world!"

"The sun, the moon, the mountains and the rivers will last forever, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever!"

uh~

It was such loud flattery that Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Hahahaha, please get up quickly!"

"Someone, give Lin Danhan a seat!"

After the brocade stool was brought and Lin Danhan thanked him again and sat down, Zhu Youxiao pointed at his right leg and asked.

"I noticed that you seemed to be having difficulty moving when you came in just now. What happened? Were you injured during the battles with the various tribes?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just a minor injury. It won't cause any trouble."

"This time, I, the Khan, came to the capital and brought five hundred Ferghana horses to Your Majesty. They are all stallions. I hope Your Majesty will accept them."

It was impossible to bring the horse into the palace, so the handover had naturally been completed outside.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was naturally even happier.

The Central Plains lacks horses, and even more so, stallions.

In the past, whether buying horses from the grasslands or from the Western Regions, almost all male horses were castrated.

Although these 500 stallions are not a lot, they can bring great help to the Ming Dynasty's horse breeding industry.

"Lin Danhan is thoughtful."

Zhu Youxiao nodded at him.

"After the grand court meeting, you can stay in the capital."

"And the King of Korea and the King of Ryukyu, the three of you will stay here to celebrate the New Year this year."

Shang Feng naturally had no objection. The prosperity of Beijing was something he had never seen before, especially the brothels and theaters on Chaoyangmen Street. After just one visit, he fell deeply in love with the place.

Li Zong also had no objection. The weather was too cold to go out to sea to fish, and he would be idle if he returned.

Upon hearing this, the two men hurried forward to express their gratitude.

However, a hint of doubt flashed across Lin Danhan's face.

"Your Majesty, I came here to ask for a favor."

"Not long ago, Xiao Khan's men were on an expedition to the west of the desert, but they encountered a group of Rakshasa cavalry on the way."

"They were armed with muskets, wearing thick cotton clothes, and marched southward across the grasslands in the snow and wind."

"The young Khan's men clashed with them and fought for three days and three nights at Tannu Mountain."

Having said that, Lin Danhan clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with deep hatred.

"Poor little Khan's three thousand warriors!"

"Just because the fire guns were not as sharp as theirs, they were buried in the snow!"

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty! I came here at the request of the leaders of the tribe. I beg Your Majesty to provide us with more weapons and muskets."

As Lin Danhan said this, he knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao.

Those two eyes were red and didn't look fake at all.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then asked someone to bring a map.

"What did you just say, Tannushan?"

"Yes, it's at the foot of Mount Tannu, on the banks of the Angla River."

Under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian, Lin Danhan came to the imperial steps and pointed to a place on the map.

"Teacher, come and take a look!"

Zhu Youxiao turned and looked at Sun Chengzong among the officials.

Upon hearing this, Sun Chengzong hurried over.

When he saw the location pointed by Lin Danhan on the map, he couldn't help but frown.

"May I ask Lin Danhan, how many Rakshasa cavalrymen did your army encounter?"

Lin Danhan's face turned red, it was obvious that he had deliberately ignored this question.

But when asked, even if I don't want to say it, I have to speak up and confess.

"Less than eight hundred!"

"what?"

Zhu Youxiao and Sun Chengzong were both stunned when they heard this number.

The cavalry under Lin Danhan were already quite powerful, and with the weapons and three-barreled guns they had bought from the Ming Dynasty before, they could definitely be called elite.

But such a team was completely defeated by less than 800 people?

Sun Chengzong looked at Ligdan Khan with some confusion.

"Those Rakshasa cavalrymen are so powerful?"
