subconsciously,
Su Yang was ready to refuse when he opened his mouth.
There was no other reason. He didn't think that he, a young man from the market, could command the Yanshan Three Guards, a group of arrogant soldiers who licked blood from their swords!
Even though the three Yanshan guards were really willing to help because of their father-in-law's favor, Su Yang didn't dare to use them!
Those are the warriors Qiu Ba who fought on the battlefield, the reckless men who crawled out from the dead. Why do you, a commoner, let others listen to you?
And help you mine?
Believe it or not, they dug up your skull?
Besides, the situation in Beiping is complicated now, and the imperial envoys and Prince Yan's palace are in intrigue.
At this sensitive moment, he, Su Yang, ordered the guards of Prince Yan's Palace to dig holes in the Western Mountains. What kind of behavior was this?
This is not to tell the court clearly that I, Su Yang, am the confidant of Prince Yan Zhu Di, and that I, Su Yang, am the direct descendant of Prince Yan’s Mansion!
Since Su Yang traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he has always stayed away from Prince Yan's Mansion, because he just didn't want to get involved in the mess of people who entered Prince Yan's Mansion and plotted rebellion!
Even now, in order to mine anthracite coal, Su Yang is not prepared to cooperate with Prince Yan's Mansion. After all, the price is too high!
"Brother, I will accept the dowry!"
"But let the three guards of Yanshan mine anthracite coal for me. Don't mention this matter again!"
"The boy knows how much he weighs. How can he command those arrogant and powerful generals?"
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Su Yang in surprise, and the admiration in his eyes became more intense.
As expected of a talent favored by his father and Master Dao Yan, Su Yang is neither arrogant nor impetuous, mature and prudent, and behaves in a measured manner, which is indeed admirable.
"Don't worry, Mr. Su!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan personally nodded in agreement!"
"No matter how unhappy the three guards are, they can only hold their noses and follow you!"
Hearing Big Fatty's words, Su Yang felt even more uneasy.
And he thought it was a bargain. The father-in-law has enough face!
In the end, it was because King Yan Zhu Di showed up in person and got involved!
"Then what does His Highness Prince Yan mean?"
"Want to do this anthracite business?"
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Zhu Gaochi immediately changed his expression and looked serious.
"Boy Su Yang, you misunderstood."
"His Royal Highness Prince Yan has seen your boy's true purpose, that's why he cooperates with you like this!"
"He only hopes that after anthracite is produced, you will not forget your original intention and not seek personal gain, so that the people of Beiping can use cheap coal for heating. This is Prince Yan's only request!"
As soon as Big Fatty said this, Su Yang was a little surprised.
I really didn’t expect that King Yan Zhu Di would make such a request!
It seems that after I indirectly scolded his mentality last time, Prince Yan had a deep reflection!
"Boy Su, let your hands and feet go and have a big fight!"
“We don’t have much time now, winter is coming soon!”
"So His Highness Prince Yan hopes that you can abandon all prejudices and, with the full cooperation of Prince Yan's Palace, mine anthracite coal as soon as possible so that the people of Beiping Palace can live a warm winter!"
Zhu Gaochi spoke sincerely again.
This is what the father and son said after discussion.
One, of course, is to create the character of King Yan Zhu Di who loves the people like a son, so that Su Yang can put aside his prejudice against him, surrender to King Zhu Di of Yan as soon as possible, and work together to achieve great goals!
Secondly, it was for Su Yang to quickly take the three guards from Yanshan to Xishan to mine, and to pound out the anthracite as soon as possible, so that the Yan Palace could take the opportunity to gain a wave of public support.
"Boy Su, I hope you will put the people first, abandon all prejudices, and follow me to the military camp in the western suburbs immediately!"
Big Fatty was now covered with a layer of divine light, pointing at Su Yang from the moral high ground.
In the name of righteousness, he wanted to force Su Yang to accept the conditions of Prince Yan's Palace, and then go to Xishan to produce anthracite for Prince Yan's Palace!
Well, I, Prince Yan, do all this for the sake of the poor!
Su Yang took a deep look at Big Fatty and finally nodded.
I have to admit that the layout and arrangement of Prince Yan's Mansion is indeed the most perfect plan at the moment.
However, Su Yang also made a request and named two people.
"Guo You and Lu Xiong, these two dandy boys, must be brought along!"
Hearing Su Yang's words, Zhu Gaochi frowned immediately.
In his impression, these two dandy boys were ignorant and committed evil deeds. What was the use of bringing them along?
“After the anthracite is produced, we still need to borrow their shops to sell it.”
"Although Guo You is a playboy, he is Guo Zi's son after all. He has a good business acumen. I am going to hand over the sales work to him."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he nodded directly.
Anyway, Prince Yan's Mansion has been here to win the hearts of the people from the beginning. As for the profit from anthracite, they don't care at all. It is also a good choice to leave Su Yang to subsidize his family.
Besides, if you really want to use anthracite coal to benefit the poor, you definitely can't sell it at a high price.
Under the premise that it cannot be sold at a high price, anthracite coal will definitely not make much money. Even the Yan Palace has made plans to subsidize the anthracite coal industry.
After all, relying on refining snowflake salt, Prince Yan's Mansion now has no shortage of money.
"Okay, then it's decided."
"You follow me to the military camp in the western suburbs first. As for Guo You and Lu Xiong, I will tell them to go there themselves!"
Su Yang nodded, then briefly explained a few words to the little girl, and then left in a hurry with the big fat guy.
The little girl looked at the backs of the two of them, her eyebrows smiling like crescent moons.
Not only did his father truly recognize Su Yang as his son-in-law, he also helped Su Yang start his own business!
When she thought of this, the little girl was extremely happy.
At the same time, the military camp in the western suburbs.
A burst of angry quarrels continued.
"Second Young Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Yes, the situation is critical now, and the prince actually asked us to dig mines!"
"It's just nonsense!"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the angry group of lieutenant generals and smiled bitterly.
Damn it, Zhu Gaochi is such a cheat, I wish I could cheat him to death!
Knowing clearly that the current situation was critical, he asked him to inform Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others to prepare to go mining. If Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and the others chopped themselves into pieces in a rage, where would Zhu Gaoxu go to reason with him?
Zhang Yu's face turned red. Even though he was as mature and prudent as he was, he was still a little angry.
"May I ask, Second Young Master, whose intention is this?"
"The three guards of Yanshan have always been loyal to the prince. Why does the prince humiliate us like this?"
No wonder they are so angry, it is so irritating!
So who are the people who are mining?
Prisoner of crime!
A death row prisoner with no status or dignity!
His Highness King Yan is asking them to go mining now, isn't he deliberately humiliating them?
"This is what the father meant!"
With a loud shout, Zhu Gaochi walked into the Chinese army's tent.
Su Yang did not follow behind him, but was arranged to wait aside, so Zhu Gaochi had no worries about speaking.
"Generals, the matter of mining in Xishan is the result of discussions between my father and Master Daoyan."
"First, the imperial court intends to transfer the three guards away from Peiping. The palace can continue to delay it in the name of mining until we raise troops!"
"Secondly, the Xishan Mountains are densely forested. The three guards can go and practice in the name of mining to avoid attracting attention."
"Third, after the anthracite is mined, it will be sold to the poor people at a fair price to help them survive this cold winter. The palace will also use this to win over the people, and the army will be officially launched in the spring of next year!"
"Generals, do you have any comments now?"
Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other generals looked at each other, their previous anger disappearing in an instant.
"Your Majesty, just train your troops. We really thought we were going to mine..."
"No, you also have to dig, and dig and practice in order!"
"..."
