Looking at the documents in Hou's hand, Yang Pu and Zhu Zhanji felt bad.
This crazy guy had prepared the loan documents early, so it turned out that he was sure of us!
However, his own strength did not allow it, otherwise Zhu Zhanji really wanted to beat this damn eunuch violently.
In desperation, Yang Pu could only take a look at the loan documents, and his face turned livid instantly!
It is clearly written on it that the Central Plains Ming Dynasty can first move 10,000 Han people to North America, while the North American Ming Dynasty must pay according to the set price. If the North American Ming Dynasty does not have enough funds, it can take a loan for a period of three years. Interest and principal are repaid every three years.
If it were just these contents, Yang Pu wouldn't be so angry.
The reason he was really angry was that there was an additional clause at the end of the loan document.
In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty in North America from defaulting on its arrears, gold and silver mines must be mortgaged for the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains to send troops to mine, and the North American dynasty was not allowed to intervene in any situation.
Half of the gold and silver mined from these gold and silver mines will also be used as part of the North American dynasty's repayment, and the other half will be the legitimate income of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.
After all, without the garrison they sent to mine, these gold and silver mines would have been hidden for who knows how many years.
With North America's current backward productivity and production technology, coupled with the constraints of a sparse population, they simply do not have the strength to mine gold or silver mines!
But even if it doesn’t, it’s still something I want to pay attention to!
What does this mean?
Aren't you here to help my country?
Why are you starting to make plans to suck blood now?
Seeing Yang Pu's unswerving expression, Zhu Zhanji immediately took the loan documents and took a look. His face turned red with anger and he threw the loan documents on the table.
"This is impossible!"
"Yue...I will never agree!"
Thanks to Zhu Gaosui's severe rebuke, Zhu Zhanji no longer dared to call himself "I" and promptly changed his name to "my king".
However, his objections were of no use at all.
Hou Xian put away the loan documents calmly and said expressionlessly: "Since the King of North America is unwilling to agree, then the peace talks will be abandoned!"
"In addition to all the food people transported by the fleet being sent back to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains and the North American sub-dynasty have also been severed. The North American sub-dynasty will no longer receive any form of assistance from the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains!"
"In addition, if the North American dynasty dares to arrogantly proclaim emperor and establish its own dynasty, the Ming Dynasty of the Central Plains will mobilize the whole country to crusade. Please be mentally prepared for the North American king!"
Hearing Hou Xian's naked threatening words, Zhu Zhanji's face instantly darkened.
Damn it, are you ready to overturn the table at the slightest disagreement?
What a bastard!
But after all, he had gone through so many years of experience, so he quickly adjusted to his condition.
"It's not that I don't want to agree, it's just that your conditions are too much!"
"Our dynasty is still in the initial stage of development, and you are eyeing our dynasty's gold and silver mines and other mineral resources. Isn't it too ugly?"
Faced with Zhu Zhanji's taunting, Hou Xian remained expressionless.
But Zhu Gaosui sneered from the side: "My nephew, you are really short-sighted!"
"I thought you had finally grown up and become a talent after training in North America for so long, but now it seems that you are still the same as before, without any foresight!"
Hearing Zhu Gaosui's bitter taunt, Yang Pu suddenly became unhappy and stared at him with an unkind expression.
"What does Prince Zhao mean by these words?"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Gaosui cursed disdainfully, "I call you stupid, do you understand?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Pu became furious on the spot, stood up and glared at Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui.
This Prince Zhao has been rude from the beginning, looking arrogant and relying on his elders, and now he is directly hurting others with his words. This is really intolerable!
Everyone cares about face. After all, Yang Pu is also the prime minister of the North American dynasty. Being humiliated over and over again in public by Zhu Gaosui like this will make even a clay figure a little angry!
Just when Yang Pu was about to get angry, Zhu Zhanji stopped him.
"Third uncle, second uncle asked you to come all the way to North America, I'm afraid it wasn't just for you to humiliate my nephew, right?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly.
"It makes sense to say you are stupid."
"With your current production level in North America, can you mine gold or silver?"
Hearing this question, Yang Pu and Zhu Zhanji shook their heads subconsciously.
Damn it, let alone mining gold and silver mines, they don’t even have decent clothes now!
The production level is so low that it is no different from those of barbarians!
Zhu Gaosui spread his hands and sneered: "Then it's over!"
"You can't mine gold or silver in the first place, so why can't you agree to the conditions of the central court?"
"The central court only takes half of the income. The remaining half of the output can be used to exchange for the population, technology, materials and other resources needed by the North American dynasty, thereby helping the North American dynasty develop rapidly. Why not Woolen cloth?"
"Is it possible that those gold and silver mines that cannot be mined can still be used as food and clothing?"
"Besides, when the garrison experts sent by the central court arrive in Peiping, can't you find a way to secretly learn the technology, find a way to recruit and retain some experts, and then start mining gold and silver mines yourself?"
"So, eldest nephew, it makes sense for my third uncle to accuse you of being short-sighted!"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he automatically ignored Zhu Gaosui's unpleasant words.
If it is true what Zhu Gaosui said, then it seems that these stringent terms are not unacceptable!
After all, what people say is very reasonable. Guarding those gold and silver mines that cannot be mined by oneself will indeed not be of any benefit to the development of the North American dynasty.
It's better to package it and sell it to the central court now, and let them come and mine it. In this way, he can exchange half of the output for resources to help the development of the North American dynasty, and quickly get this fledgling dynasty on the right track!
Moreover, mining of gold and silver mines often takes decades or hundreds of years to start. After those experts came to North America, it was not easy to return to the Central Plains and the Ming Dynasty!
Although the North American dynasty is just a start-up, it has a huge talent gap because of this. As long as you are willing to stay, can you be promoted to a higher position? If that doesn't work, can we find dozens of barbarian wives for you?
The North American dynasties lacked everything except the native barbarians!
Yang Pu also looked at Zhu Zhanji energetically and nodded subconsciously.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this matter has great potential!"
"Well, I know it well."
The two discussed it in low voices, but still did not agree directly.
After all, in negotiations, you can't accept whatever demands others make, as that will only make the other party push forward.
Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "But there are other terms, how about temporarily delaying the discussion on this one?"
After hearing this, Hou Xian shook his head decisively and refused.
"no!"
"These first two clauses are the basis for the establishment of diplomatic relations in this peace negotiation!"
"And this is something that the Crown Prince has personally ordered. The North American dynasty must agree, otherwise it will sever diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains!"
Yang Pu: "???"
Zhu Zhanji: "???"
Prince?
It turns out to be Zhu Gaoxu!
That damn Zhu Papi!
What an unworthy man!
