Chapter 433
"Did Chu agree? Let me go!"
When Tang Huang finished speaking, Tang Yu felt as if he was struck by muffled thunder, his eyes darkened and he almost fell down.
After a night of contemplation, Tang Yu discovered that it was not Chu Ningyu that he was afraid of, but the whole of Chu.
Just imagine, Chu Ningyu is the youngest princess of Da Chu and the heart of Emperor Chu. Although Chu Ningyu can only be a concubine after marrying, she still has to go to Da Chu to marry her.
He flooded seven armies and caused countless casualties in Dachu. If he went to Dachu to get married, Tang Yu was afraid that he would never come back.
Xu Shize secretly smacked his tongue and said, "It seems that the current situation in Dachu is very stressful, otherwise they would never marry Chu Ningyu so easily!"
"Old Xu, do you think that if I marry Chu Ningyu, do I have to go to Dachu in person?" Tang Yu asked quickly.
Xu Shize joked: "Chu Ningyu is the princess of Da Chu after all, and Da Chu is still the most powerful country in the world. Even if Da Chu suffers heavy losses this time, it will still not affect its dominance. As long as Da Chu is willing, it can recruit millions at any time." Dajun! If you don’t go to Dachu, do you still expect someone to take the initiative to marry you?"
"We're in big trouble now!" Tang Yu looked solemn.
He could guess that if he went to Dachu to marry Chu Ningyu, it would definitely not be easy for him to marry someone. Thinking of the many difficulties that would be faced, Tang Yu felt dizzy.

"It's natural!"
Before Tang Yu could answer, Emperor Tang said bluntly: "I promise you that as long as Princess Ningyu marries to the Tang Dynasty, I will treat her like my own daughter! In order to show my sincerity to the Tang Dynasty, I announce my unconditional release. Chu Yunteng, Chu Baole, Ye Yuanba, Ye Yuanhong and the other four will return Jizhou City to Da Chu. This can also be regarded as a betrothal gift from our Tang Dynasty to you, Da Chu!"
"Thank you Emperor Tang. In order to show my sincerity, I, Da Chu, am willing to give you 300 million taels of silver, which should be regarded as the dowry for Princess Ningyu!" Zhang Shaoqing said in a deep voice.
"What? Da Chu wants to pay 300 million as a dowry?"
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of the whole court were shocked again. They did not expect that Da Chu would be so generous.
Tang Yu was stunned: "Three hundred million? Old Xu, is Dachu so rich?"
Although he knew that Da Chu would express his intention to marry Chu Ningyu, he never dreamed that Da Chu would spend 300 million.
"Your Highness, you are still too young after all!"
Xu Shize lowered his voice and said: "Da Chu is the most powerful country in the world. It has accumulated hundreds of years of accumulation. Its comprehensive national strength is many times stronger than our Tang Dynasty. Over the years, Da Chu has been fighting everywhere and has plundered countless amounts of silver. Three hundred million in silver." It’s just drizzle to Da Chu!”
"And Zhang Shaoqing and the others are not fools. They must know that His Majesty will not easily release four people and hand over a city. Zhang Shaoqing and others know this well. The reason why they gave a dowry of 300 million yuan is mainly to redeem people and redeem the city. It is just a disguised form. Tell me, just spread the word to make it sound better!"
"So that's it!" Tang Yu suddenly realized.
Immediately, Tang Yu looked at Xu Shize and asked again: "Old Xu, are we really poor in the Tang Dynasty?"
"It's not just poverty, it's almost poverty. I don't even have any pants left!" Xu Shize sighed.
Tang Yu was speechless. He thought about it carefully. There were many rivers in the Tang Dynasty and the land was barren. The productivity had been unable to keep up over the years.
In ancient times, crops were very important, and even crops were related to a country's national strength to a certain extent. If the crop output could not keep up, the country would definitely be extremely poor.
The Tang Dynasty mainly cultivated rice, and its productivity had been low before. However, Dachu occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains, had a large population, fertile land, and its productivity was many times that of the Tang Dynasty.
Hearing that Da Chu was going to marry 300 million taels of silver, Emperor Tang nodded with satisfaction: "That's great! Prime Minister Zhang, since everyone has no objections, let Yu'er follow you to Da Chu!"
