The old emperor was also amused by Lin Ruoshan's big fat ball.
"Lin Ruoshan, you are as skillful as you are clumsy, and you are as wise as foolish. I will make you Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
Lin Ruoshan was so excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Ruoshan is so happy.
From now on, he is the Minister of Industry.
He has the final say on all matters of the Ministry of Industry.
"Tong Jian listens to the seal."
The old emperor looked at Tong Jian: "You have been training in Shangshu Province for many years. You have worked hard and endured humiliation and burden. You have become a blockbuster without complaining! Moreover, you are not only good at civil affairs, but also know military diplomacy. I accept Yan Aiqing's suggestion and order You will serve as Privy Councilor to assist Yan Aiqing in handling military matters."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Tong Jian knelt down to thank him.
Zhang Yongwu on the side heard this and felt his nose sore with anger.
Yan Qi deliberately asked Zhang Yongwu: "The general is the privy envoy. I wonder if the emperor has appointed Tong Jian to be the privy minister. Does the general have any different opinions?"
Zhang Yongwu is such a loser.
What can he say?
The emperor agreed.
Does he dare to disagree?
In particular, Tong Jian made a great contribution and was a success in military strategy.
If Tong Jian had made meritorious service in civil affairs, Zhang Yongwu would bite the bullet and not allow Tong Jian to get involved in military affairs.
If you have made meritorious service in civil affairs, what does it have to do with our military?
If you go to Shangshu Province, I won't interfere if you become deputy prime minister, or even if you become prime minister.
However, this credit has nothing to do with the military. You just cannot enter the Privy Council or serve as Privy Councilor.
But the problem is that Tong Jian's purchase of two thousand Turkic war horses is indeed due to the military's contribution.
In this case, it is reasonable for Tong Jian to serve as Privy Councilor and Commander-in-Chief. How to refute it?
Zhang Yongwu was suffocating in his heart, but he had no choice but to endure it and met Yan Qi's teasing eyes: "Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection to Tong Jian being appointed as Privy Councilor."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "The general is so enlightened, and the cooperation between the two of us will surely make the Privy Council more dynamic."
"snort!"
Zhang Yongwu snorted coldly.
Damn it.
With Tong Jian in place, Yan Qi is now fully fledged.
Lu Xuan definitely defected to Yan Qi.
Tong Jian assisted Yan Qi.
Lu Xuan controlled the army.
Tong Jian is in charge of military diplomacy.
With Yan Qi's civil and military skills in hand, he has everything in the world.
Zhang Yongwu was heartbroken.
Now, he hopes that the Eight Wise Kings' plan will succeed as soon as possible.
He especially hoped that Youxian Wang Yege could lead a large army to completely defeat Leng Ruqing, kill Leng Ruqing, and march to Dahua.
In this way, Zhang Yongwu can command the three armies.
Zhu Kun stood aside, not daring to stand up.
Yan Qi pulled Zhu Kun over and said to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, Zhu Kun has done a lot of credit this time. It was Zhu Kun who made the introduction. Lin Ruoshan and Tong Jian just established a relationship with Bata. Moreover, they bought two thousand horses. The war horse cost five million taels of silver, and it was Zhu Kun's personal investment, without any money from the court."
"It can be said that Zhu Kun spent all his family property and made outstanding contributions to Dahua's military strength. Zhu Kun's innocent heart makes people look at him and admire him."
When the officials heard this, they couldn't help being shocked.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be Zhu Kun's personal investment. It's so shocking."
"It makes me ashamed to be so aware."
"Zhu Kun has completely transformed, which is impressive."
The old emperor was overjoyed: "Great, Zhu Kun, you are a role model for Dahua businessmen. Although you have no official position, you care about Dahua and have contributed to Dahua in times of need. I want to thank you."
Yan Qidao: "Your Majesty, I think we should call on merchants from all over the world to learn from Zhu Kun. I suggest that Zhu Kun be awarded the title of Dahua Red Merchant and be given a yellow mantle."
The ministers were very surprised when they heard this.
It would be fine to be awarded the title of Dahua Hongshang, but giving him a yellow mantle would be too much, right?
The emperor probably wouldn't agree.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Qi finished speaking, the old emperor immediately took over: "Yan Aiqing's proposal is very good, I am very satisfied."
"Zhu Kun, I will confer you the title of Dahua Hongshang and give you a plaque to hang on the door of the mansion. I will show you my kindness again and reward you with a yellow mantle."
Zhu Kun was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Zhu Kun burst into tears of gratitude.
He thanked Yan Qi again: "Thank you, Lord Yan, for your support. I will thank you for your support."
Yan Qi laughed loudly and whispered to Zhu Kun: "With this yellow mantle, are you still afraid of the Eight Wise Kings?"
Zhu Kun said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With the yellow mantle, it is equivalent to the emperor's protection. How can the Eight Wise Kings dare to attack me? Master Yan, thank you for wearing an amulet for me."
Yan Qi nodded: "If you follow me, I will fight for your interests. From now on, do your best, Dahua Hongshang."
Zhu Kun was very excited when he heard the words Dahua Hongshang.
From then on, he became a famous businessman.
The status, like that of Bata, cannot be replaced.
…
Retreat!
Zhu Kun went home and wanted to meet his family.
Yan Qi followed him with a smile.
Holding something in hand.
Zhu Kun said: "Master Yan is busy with state affairs, and I dare not delay your important affairs."
Yan Qi smiled and shook the thing covered with red cloth in his hand: "I'll give you a gift."
Zhu Kun was curious: "Giving a gift? What is this?"
Yan Qi pulled away the red cloth.
It turned out to be a plaque.
There are four big characters written on it: Dahua Hongshang.
Zhu Kun was overjoyed: "Have you finished writing the plaque?"
Yan Qidao: "How about I write an inscription for you?"
Zhu Kun was very excited: "Master Yan is so thoughtful. I have just been awarded the title of Dahua Red Merchant, but Master Yan's plaque has already been written. Master Yan, you really care about me."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Come on, I will go to the house with you, and we will hang up the plaque to shine on the lintel."
"Master Xie Yan."
Zhu Kun was so happy.
…
Zhu Kun's mansion is in a prosperous place.
Although the mansion was taken over by the Huaxing Society, the Zhu family still lived there.
The Eight Wise Kings often sent people to cause trouble.
Gu Bei often came in person to humiliate the Zhu family.
Either throwing excrement or insults.
Before Zhu Kun arrived home, he heard Gu Bei insulting the Zhu family: "Where is Zhu Kun? Get out of here, don't think he can be so arrogant? He is the slave of our Eight Wise Kings, let this slave come out and kneel." If he dares to come back, the Eight Wise Kings will kill him."
"Come here, throw shit on me, throw shit on me quickly, stink Zhu Kun to death. Paralyzed, Zhu Kun, if you don't spit out the five million taels of silver, you can't even think about living. You are dead. ”
At the door of Zhu's house, there was a cry of prayer.
Gu Bei's voice came from far away: "It's useless for you to kneel down. If you don't hand Zhu Kun over today, you will all have to eat shit."
"Come here, throw feces into their mouths. If anyone dares not to eat, I will beat them to death."
Zhu Kun was furious and rushed forward: "Gu Bei, you dare to insult my Zhu family, how can you do this?"
Gu Bei turned around and saw Zhu Kun, pinching his waist with a fierce look on his face: "You finally showed up! Zhu Kun, when you see me, why don't you kneel down and eat shit?"
