"Your Majesty...it's necessary! Please don't worry, sir!"
Wang Chengen immediately replied with excitement, "I'll do it when I get back!"
"Brother Hu, when I left the city earlier, I found that there were many shops in Kyoto selling floor heating."
As if he had thought of something, Chongzhen looked at Hu Yunqing and said, "The most important thing is that the prices are different. I'm worried that there is something fishy in it."
This was also the reason why he asked Cao Qian about Shanxi merchants at the court meeting. Those companies were the branches of Shanxi merchants, because he was afraid that they would do this deliberately and destroy the market.
"This is simple."
Hu Yunqing swept away the dishes in the wind, burped with satisfaction, patted his belly and said, "You can apply for a patent from the court. If they want to sell floor heating, you will take a share of it! When the time comes, they will sell Theirs, but some of the profits still have to be given to you!”
"This is good!"
Chongzhen stood up excitedly after hearing this. He naturally wanted to ask what the patent was, but he seemed stupid.
But since he is the emperor, the final interpretation of the floor heating lies in his hands.
"Don't be too happy too early. Chongzhen is so troubled by the Jiliao area that he may not have the heart to deal with these things."
Hu Yunqing poured another glass of wine, "That guy is a complete idiot."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Chongzhen and Wang Chengen suddenly darkened.
After all, this was not the first time that the guy in front of him called the emperor a fool.
"Brother, let's talk about something else."
Chongzhen sat down helplessly and changed the topic.
In this way, until night fell, the master and the servant reluctantly said goodbye to Hu Yunqing.
After returning to the palace, Chongzhen immediately ordered Wang Chengen to transfer Zhuangzi and the nearby mountains and forests to Hu Yunqing.
Of course, the main reason why he said he wanted to take part in a share was because he thought that if there was a severe drought next year, he would be able to use potatoes and corn for disaster relief.
This kind can be produced in large quantities, and the yield per acre is also high. This is an absolute treasure, and it will reduce the burden on the national treasury.
Let's talk about Wei Zhongxian. Following Hu Yunqing's prompts, he selected a group of soldiers from Datong who were proficient in Mongolian, and then sent the grain and grass with Croton to Liaodong.
Because there were soldiers who were proficient in Mongolian, they quickly got in touch with Huang Taiji's men, and quickly sold the grain and grass at a very low price.
Then he arranged for people to get in touch with Yuan Chonghuan, and both parties used the signal of raising fire to cooperate internally and externally.
That night, Huang Taiji and Amin were discussing military affairs when they suddenly heard shouts outside!
The two men immediately led their troops out of the camp.
However, what they didn't expect was that they saw Guan Ning's cavalry surrounded outside!
But for some reason, their soldiers were all sallow and thin, their horses were lying down, and they had no strength to fight at all!
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"
Suddenly there were flames everywhere, and Guan Ning's army rushed in from all directions like a tide!
"Huang Taiji! Die quickly!"
But at this moment, Yuan Chonghuan and Wu Sangui were seen riding towards them.
"hateful!"
Faced with such a situation, Huang Taiji was extremely helpless and could only return to Jiannu with his remaining defeated soldiers.
Yuan Chonghuan won this battle! More than 10,000 people were beheaded and more than 20,000 people were captured.
The 100,000-strong army of Jiannu lost more than 30% of its combat strength. It must be that within two years, they will never dare to invade the border again.
For Chongzhen, this battle was nothing more than giving someone timely help.
"Eunuch Wei!"
Yuan Chonghuan, who was discussing the military situation with Wu Sangui in the military camp, heard that Wei Zhongxian was coming, so he dressed up and came out to greet him.
He also heard people say it when he was in Beijing. The reason why he was able to come back to take charge of Liaodong was because of the strong recommendation of Wei Zhongxian and another person!
Therefore, although I was at odds with the Eunuch Party before, I still have to give him some face now.
Moreover, if Wei Zhongxian had not broken into the tiger's den alone with his troops this time, he would have defeated Jiannu's army.
It is absolutely impossible for them to win so easily.
"Master Yuan, long time no see!"
Wei Zhongxian was wearing the clothes of a Mongolian cavalry, which looked a bit nondescript. He quickly saluted and said with a smile, "We are here to congratulate the commander. This battle was really beautiful! The emperor will definitely give it to you." Celebrate your success! You will be promoted in the future!"
"That is still the hero Wei Eunuch. He went to the slave camp alone. It is really admirable."
Yuan Chonghuan cupped his hands with a serious look on his face, "If nothing else, how many people can have this kind of courage?"
After saying this, Wei Zhongxian's face turned red.
The reason why he was like this was to survive in front of Chongzhen.
The most important thing is that there is guidance from experts behind the scenes.
So, I don’t take any credit.
The two of them returned to the military camp and sat down one after another.
"Eunuch Wei, Yuan will also give you credit for this military report. After all, it would be difficult to win without you taking the risk alone."
After the two sat down, Yuan Chonghuan looked at Wu Sangui and said, "Sangui, do you remember?"
"Master Yuan, our family doesn't dare to take credit for this."
Wei Zhongxian thought for a moment and said frankly, "This time, it was mainly because of the guidance of an expert behind him. This expert is the real hero. And Governor Yuan's ability to be reactivated has a lot to do with his recommendation."
"Could he be the master behind the emperor?"
Yuan Chonghuan reacted immediately and looked at the chief eunuch in front of him. He also heard some information in Beijing, but because he was in a hurry with his troops, he could not see it.
"Exactly."
Wei Zhongxian's eyes were filled with admiration. Without Hu Yunqing's reminder this time, how could he have achieved such great achievements? After returning home, he must be very grateful.
"Report!"
At this moment, I suddenly saw a soldier entering the military tent and looked at Yuan Chonghuan and Wei Zhongxian, "Report to the Commander, Master Hong is here!"
"This old boy!"
When Wu Sangui, who was writing a military report, heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table, "Before, he had been refusing to march. Now that our army has won a great victory, he has come at this time! Isn't it obvious that he wants to share the credit?"
"Director Yuan, General Wu, we won't stay here any longer and will return to Beijing immediately to share the good news with the Emperor!"
Wei Zhongxian had always been at odds with Hong Chengchou. He stood up and looked at the two of them, "Don't worry, I know everything about the front line and I will definitely make it clear to the emperor!"
"Eunuch Wei, that Hong Chengchou..."
"Master Yuan, you don't have to be afraid of him."
Just as Yuan Chonghuan was about to speak, Wei Zhongxian took two steps forward and lowered his voice and said, "I think he will be unlucky in a few days. The emperor is already very dissatisfied with him, plus his fellow countrymen bully the market and resell iron ore! So! How can one live in peace for a great sin?”
"Understood!"
Yuan Chonghuan reacted immediately, and then replied with great gratitude, "My father-in-law's kindness, Yuan will never forget it in his life!"
