Left Chen Hao's bedroom.
Li Jisao turned around, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
He deceived Chen Hao and Ming Dynasty's statement that if the Yue Kingdom did not cooperate with Ming Dynasty's actions, a large army would go south.
As for whether to accept the new tribute treaty, Ming Dynasty said it didn't matter.
Anyway, now that the Ming Dynasty is developing rapidly, there is no need for this kind of worship.
However, Li Jisu did not want to break away from the Ming Dynasty's tributary-vassal system.
In particular, if the Ming Dynasty's army could be stationed in Yue, it would not be something difficult to accept for Li Jisu.
Instead, he almost wanted to sweep the floor and invite people in immediately. Although he also used some military tactics, he was not afraid of overpowering Peng Ge in a real fight.
However, the only thing you can do is commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Peng Ge was invaded many times and became famous in the country of Yue. The country of Yue was almost in a passive state of being beaten.
Such a situation has seriously affected Li Jisu's interests, and if the Ming Dynasty's army is stationed in.
Zhi Pengge would be wary of Three Points no matter what. After all, no one knew whether the Ming Dynasty's army would be directly involved in the situation of the Yue Kingdom, which was just around the corner.
Even Zhi Peng Ge chose to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but provoking a war within a subject country under the nose of the Ming Dynasty was also a serious provocation to the Ming Dynasty.
Judging from the performance of the Ming Dynasty, this rising dynasty in the Central Plains has swept away the weakness and bullying of the pre-Song Dynasty. Although the national power is not particularly strong, it has shown strong performance.
Such a boss wanted to station troops in Yue State, but the price was only a little power to appoint and remove officials. For Chen Hao, this was a loss of power and humiliation of the country, which was difficult to accept.
But it is completely different for Li Jisou. His family has developed rapidly recently through Chen Hao, and his heritage has gradually become richer. If the Ming Dynasty imperial examination can be adopted, the advance layout can actually separate his family from other powerful families. difference.
It can be said that there is a hundred benefits and no harm.
The country of Yue lost power and humiliated the country, and it was not the case that the Li family lost power and humiliated the country, so it was not considered at all.
"Go and send the letter of credence I have drafted to His Majesty for His Majesty to stamp it."
Li Jisao was in a good mood as he ordered his men around him.
This time, the Li family was really like Qin Shihuang touching the switch and winning.
Of all the benefits, the entire Yue Kingdom's benefits in this matter belong to his Li family, but Chen Hao still bears the blame, which is not very comfortable.
Jinling City.
British government.
"Snowstorm."
"The latest credentials of Chen Hao of the State of Yue are that they have agreed to all our requests and hope to become our tributary vassal."
Zhu Biao entered Xiao Han's study and said.
"ah?"
Xiao Han was slightly stunned after hearing this.
In his impression, since the establishment of an independent country, there was no centripetal force for the Central Plains Dynasty at all.
In later terms, separatism prevailed.
Moreover, he had extremely strong self-esteem, and in the end, Chen Hao actually agreed to Daming's request.
Chen Hao was not a fool. He knew very well that doing this would bring him eternal infamy in the country of Yue. Such a decision made even Xiao Han look at him unexpectedly.
The situation in the Yue Kingdom was very clear to the Jinyi Guards. After the Yang Rili Rebellion, the whole country was in trouble both internally and externally.
If you don't consider the reaction of the people, agreeing to Ming's treaty is the best choice.
After all, on the surface, Ming's army can provide beneficial protection if it is stationed directly.
With the strong intervention of the Ming Dynasty, the powerful family can be suppressed internally and foreign enemies can be defended externally. Even if part of the power of appointing and removing officials is given up, the Chen royal family can enter a period of expansion in strength.
Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the big brother Daming is reliable.
The fact is that as long as the Yue Kingdom is not destroyed, Xiao Han plans to let the Ming army stay in his Yamen until death.
After all, this Yue country is the bridgehead of the Ming Dynasty in the southern countries. It is used as cannon fodder. No, it is not yet time to cultivate the combat effectiveness of their own army.
The Ming Dynasty's army ended directly, that is, it was a result of plundering the seedlings and encouraging them.
Yes, Xiao Han is all for the good of the country.
Alas, conscientious bosses like Xiao Han are rare in the world.
"Fengxue, you also find it a bit incredible, don't you?"
"Tell me, is there any fraud in this?"
Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.
"Is it a scam?"
"What kind of deceit do they have to influence my Ming Dynasty?"
"With the strength of our Ming Dynasty, no matter what little calculations the Yue Kingdom has, as long as the tribute contract is signed, the dragon will be coiled and the tiger will lie down!"
Xiao Han said confidently.
"That's the same thing."
"As long as our Ming soldiers are stationed in Yue, any calculation will be meaningless."
"According to the news, the country of Zhan in the south is constantly attacking and harassing the country of Yue. So in your opinion, when the time comes, should we, the Ming Dynasty, sell the help to the country of Yue?"
Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.
"Of course I have to help. How can the elder brother not take care of the younger brother?"
"Give him a 20% discount on weapons."
Xiao Han smiled.
"I knew it, little boy."
Zhu Biao stretched out a finger and laughed.
"By the way, Feng Xue, those merchants from Yingtian Mansion have quietly sold the paper you produced to Yue and other countries through Lingnan."
"It seems that this group of businessmen have successfully found a way to survive, and our Ming Dynasty's industries have been directly sold to other countries. What should we do to promote this process?"
Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.
"Well, we must crack down on smuggling, and you must pay sufficient tariffs for export trade."
"Then, it's time for me to take the next step."
Xiao Han touched his chin and said.
"Next step?"
"What's your next step?"
Zhu Biao said curiously.
"Of course it's to increase the price of official paper."
"These businessmen have already found a good market. If they don't increase prices and make more money, wouldn't they be losing money?"
"However, speaking of which, their speed is fast enough. In just a few days, they sold our paper to the country of Yue. It seems that someone here has a clear goal."
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
But he also had a slight interest in these businessmen. To be able to do this so quickly, what was needed was an absolutely accurate and decisive judgment of the situation.
Not even the original Shen Wansan had such ability. To be honest, looking at the original Shen Wansan from Xiao Han's perspective, I felt that this person was too speculative and had insufficient vision.
To sum up, Zhu Yuanzhang's emotional intelligence was too low. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang swept through all the enemies, but because the court was too poor, Shen Wansan stole the show when he found Zhu Yuanzhang. He did not know how to restrain himself at all, so that he was directly exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang in the end.
"Is Fengxue interested in these businessmen?"
Zhu Biao raised his eyes slightly.
“There’s definitely been some interest.”
Xiao Han nodded slightly.
"When a businessman reaches the top, he is just like Shen Wansan and cannot achieve anything big."
"Fengxue, we are just using them. We don't need to worry too much. When Ming Dynasty Economics joins the imperial examination later, we have to be prepared to prevent them from forcing the powerful families over and colluding with government and businessmen to become a new trouble."
Zhu Biao shook his head.
"Yeah. You're right. I already had a plan in mind. With me here, they won't be able to make any big waves."
Xiao Han said.
"Well, with you as a top profiteer, no, the founder of economics in the Ming Dynasty is here. No matter how powerful a businessman he is, he is just a hawk to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao deeply agreed.
"Jiang You."
"Go and inform the paper mill to increase the price of official paper from our paper mill by 30%."
Xiao Han waved and said to Jiang You who was waiting outside.
Wanjia Manor.
"Hahaha!"
"Brother Wan is really far-sighted. We have made a lot of money this time by taking advantage of the imperial court's influence."
On a large table filled with wealthy businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River, a wealthy businessman with a double mustache said that he was particularly shrewd at first glance.
"Yes, the imperial court originally wanted to use paper mills to suppress our paper industry, but they didn't want to and directly made wedding dresses for us."
"We directly sold it to Lingnan and Yue countries, and we made more money than we did in the past year."
"I'm ready to buy a large amount of official paper from the imperial court again. We need as much as they make. This efficiency is comparable to that of making Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes directly."
The wealthy businessman surnamed Wang was also quite satisfied.
"Everyone, please listen to Wan Mou's words."
"Reselling official papers can help us stabilize our pace, but it is not a long-term solution after all. As long as the court is willing, the price can be raised at any time. We still have to make plans in advance."
"I plan to go to the southern countries and learn from the imperial paper production line for production line production."
Wan Shanhou said to a group of wealthy businessmen.
"Brother Wan is worrying too much."
"Even if the court increases the price, as long as we build more caravans for transshipment, we can still make a lot of copper coins and treasure notes."
"Those small countries in the south have poor mountains and rivers, and thieves are rampant. If you go there to produce, you have to spend money to hire a lot of bodyguards. Why bother?"
The wealthy businessman with a mustache laughed.
"If everyone has this mentality, there is no need for us to continue to get together in the future."
"I'll leave Wan's words here today. If you are willing to believe Wan, you can go with Wan to the southern countries to make plans. If you don't believe Wan, you can leave now."
Wan Shanhou said calmly.
"Queen of Ten Thousand Mountains!"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't think that your method has made everyone make a fortune, so you are qualified to boss around in front of us old gangsters."
"Boy, you still have a lot to learn."
The mustachioed wealthy businessman suddenly looked ugly and said.
"Lone Wolf!"
"see a visitor out!"
Queen Wan Shan snorted coldly, and instead of arguing with the wealthy businessman with a mustache, just shouted lowly.
Suddenly, a tall escort with a scar extending from one blind eye to his chin walked in.
"Master, you are not welcome here now!"
The lone wolf spoke coldly to the wealthy businessman with a mustache.
"you…"
The beard on the sister-in-law's face was trembling, but she felt the evil aura on Lone Wolf's body but became silent again, so she could only leave in despair.
