Because of the stimulation of commercial development, Ming Dynasty is now very eager for gold.

Zhu Han wants to vigorously develop overseas trade, and also has the idea of ​​​​grabbing gold from around the world. Although all the gold robbed from the world cannot be taken out at once, isn't it better to let the meat rot in your own pot than leave it outside?

Regarding gold, Lan Yu's thoughts are surprisingly consistent with Zhu Han's: they are all mine!

Of course, the two people have different reasons for their preference for gold: Zhu Han only regarded gold as currency and the reserve of the Ming Dynasty, but Sapphire purely liked the golden light of gold.

Firuzisha could see that Sapphire liked gold very much, and his eyes kept glancing at gold, which made Firuzisha feel very uncomfortable.

He also liked gold, so there was gold everywhere inside and outside the palace.

However, compared with one's own preferences, life is undoubtedly the most important. The power of Ming Dynasty is far beyond that of the Sultan of Delhi. If you want to survive, you must give up your own preferences.

Of course, when Firuz Shah gave the blue jade and gold, he had a good reason: "General Lan came all the way, not to mention the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and saved the Sultan of Delhi from fire and water. It's all because of my trusting villains. General Lan is so kind and generous." Virtue, Firuz Shah will bear it in mind.”

He said some polite words first, and then said to Lan Yu: "General Lan's great kindness to me is unforgettable. Xiao Wang has some gifts here that I want to give to you, General. Please accept them."

He handed over the money to Lan Yu in an honest manner. Lan Yu knew what he meant as soon as he heard it, but how could Lan Yu accept this?

How much can you charge for a mere thank you?

He wants more!

"Firuzisha, who do you think I am, Lan Yu? How could I care about these gold and silver?"

Lan Yu wants to build a house made of gold, purely because she thinks a house made of gold might look good. As for the rest, that is another matter.

Lan Yu deceived Firuzisha and said: "My Majesty, the Ming Dynasty, what I hate most in my life is accepting bribes. In our Ming Dynasty, if you accept sixty taels of property, you will be skinned and boned. You are giving me money now. Bribe me?"

When speaking, Lan Yu had already brought a vague threat. Firuzsha was startled when he heard Lan Yu's words, and quickly waved his hand and said: "No, I have absolutely no intention of harming General Lan. You are my benefactor. How could I frame you? I give you money because I know that Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world. Except for some local specialties, I really have nothing else to give you. "

"Well, I know you are an honest person, Firuzisha. I, Lan Yu, like to make friends with honest people."

Lan Yu patted Firuzisha on the shoulder, expressed relief to him, and promised that she would not trouble him for such a trivial matter. Not only that, Lan Yu also introduced him to a very good friend: Zhou Sheng!

"Come on, Firuz Shah, let me introduce you to a good friend of mine."

As Lan Yu spoke, she called Zhou Sheng over and said to Firuzisha: "Let me introduce to you. This is Zhou Sheng, a businessman from my Ming Dynasty. He is as rich as anyone in the country! He controls the largest trading ship in my Ming Dynasty. The team handles billions of gold and silver every year!"

"????"

Zhou Sheng: How could you, Lan Yu, know how much money I transfer every year?

One billion... Zhou Sheng believed that if he had one billion, he would have been cut off like a leek by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it would be impossible for him to survive until now.

Lan Yu was bragging and deceiving Firuzsha by the way, but bragging did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Sheng was willing to cooperate with Lan Yu in bragging.

He opened his mouth to correct what Lan Yu said: "It's not billions, but billions. I don't know exactly how many."

The family property is so big that Zhou Sheng said he only knows some figures.

When Lan Yu heard Zhou Sheng's words, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes: He knew he could play, but he didn't expect that Zhou Sheng could play better than him. What should I do if Firuzisha couldn't hear you bragging like this and was so frightened?

One billion?

Billions?

What unit of measurement is this?

Firuz Shah was just a small king of the Delhi Sultan. Where had he seen money? After listening to Zhou Sheng's explanation, Firuzsha opened his mouth in surprise.

Oh my god, that much money?

Can buy twenty Delhi Sultanate.

The Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world, it was really rich all over the world! A mere businessman can be as rich as a country. Anyway, Firuz Shah believed that if he were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and knew that some businessmen in the Ming Dynasty had more wealth than the national treasury, he would definitely kill the goose and get the eggs first!

However, Daming did not, and they were still living well.

Ming dynasty!

Ming dynasty!

Firuzisha had an infinite yearning for the Ming Dynasty in his heart. He looked at Lan Yu and asked, "I wonder, General Lan, where can I be used? I will do my best!"

Just hold Lan Yu's thigh tightly and don't let go, and do whatever he asks.

"Old Fei, I'm not telling you, your taste is really very low."

Lan Yu continued to pua on Firuzisha and said to him: "Our Ming Dynasty King Ying said that if we say gold is valuable, then it is valuable, but the meaning is not gold itself, it is just a metal, such as you What’s the point of building such a palace with gold everywhere? And the color is so earthy that our Ming Dynasty’s palace doesn’t even bother to use this gold.”

Zhou Sheng next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard what Lan Yu said.

When the Ming Dynasty Palace was being renovated, it wasn't that it was unwilling to decorate it magnificently, but that Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to part with it, right?

Moreover, Zhu Han didn't think it was good to decorate the palace with gold, so he naturally opposed it. Zhu Yuanzhang trusted Zhu Han unconditionally. When he heard Zhu Han's objection, he also opposed it unconditionally.

As for what others say, does Zhu Yuanzhang still care what others say?

The Zhou's Trading Company where Zhou Sheng worked was considered to be Zhu Han's underlings, and they knew what Zhu Han wanted.

Gold, silver, and copper plates are indeed metals, but everyone in the world has given these three metals considerable value, and they have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. No matter how they change, their value will not be taken away.

What Lan Yu said was purely to deceive Firuzisha.

Zhou Sheng was silent beside him. He had already begun to think about how much wood he would have to use to move all the gold away from the Firuz Shah Palace and replace it with more attractive agarwood, red sandalwood and other wood.

Firuz Shah was soon deceived by Lan Yu. Perhaps he understood the meaning of Lan Yu's words, so he simply followed Lan Yu's words and said excitedly: "General Lan, you mean, I am in Delhi Can Sudan also enjoy the life of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course, don't we have Boss Zhou here? He is in business."

Seeing that Firuzisha was very talkative, Lan Yu became even more enthusiastic: "When Boss Zhou demolishes your palace and builds a new one, then you will know what the king's aura is. Gold and silver are not worthy of your status."

"Yeah, okay."

Firuz Shah seemed impatient for the future, looking forward to what the transformed palace would look like. Then he looked at Zhou Sheng: "Boss Zhou, when will your goods be delivered?"

"Transportation... there is no problem."

Zhou Sheng frowned, looking very troubled: "It's just that we are fighting now, and the transportation of some materials is not convenient. Moreover, decorating the palace requires highly skilled craftsmen. They usually have no shortage of work. I'm afraid if I hire them rashly, Not easy."

To put it bluntly, it just wants money.

As for what Zhou Sheng said, you can think of him as farting.

Others don't know, but Lan Yu doesn't know? The East India Company had a group of outstanding craftsmen, and Zhou Sheng was very playful. He transported products from the Ming Dynasty to India, sold them to Indians at high prices, and then shipped some of India's more representative commodities. Go back to the Ming Dynasty and make it more exotic, and people will flock to it.

It is precisely because of this kind of business acumen that Zhou's Commercial House became the leading commercial house in the Ming Dynasty.

Let Zhou Sheng fool him. The more he fools Firuzisha, the greater Lan Yu's profit will be. Of course, this profit is not in money, but in Zhou Sheng's support for the war.

Firuz Shah said that anything that can be solved with money is no big deal: "You bring over all the materials needed to transform my palace. As long as you can transform my palace into what General Lan said, money is not a problem." It’s no big deal!”

Zhou Sheng agreed immediately.

It was Firuz Shah who said money was not a problem. Since he said so, how could Zhou Sheng disagree?

When Zhou Sheng and Firuzisha were discussing business, Lan Yu did not speak or participate. After the two of them finished talking, Lan Yu said to Firuzisha: "Old Fei, I'm going to make a It will be a grand ceremony, and I will invite you to watch it when the time comes. If there is a chance, you may be able to meet my Royal Highness, the King of Ming Dynasty."

Firuzisha didn't know who Zhu Han was, but when he heard Lan Yu's invitation and heard that he could meet the king from the Ming Dynasty, he suddenly became excited: "Really, General Lan? You, you really invite I?"

"Is this still false?"

Lan Yu patted Firuzisha on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "His Royal Highness said, when friends come, there is fine wine, when enemies come, there are artillery. You and our Ming merchants have already concluded a business, aren't we still friends? ?"

This sentence was ambiguous. Firuzisha subconsciously thought that Lan Yu regarded him as a friend. He was so excited that he almost shed tears: "How can I be your friend, General Lan? This is me. The most glorious moment in this life! Thank you General Lan!"

After saying that, Firuz Shah crawled at Lan Yu's feet, kissed Lan Yu's shoes excitedly, stood up and swore very solemnly: "I, Firuz Shah, the king of the Sultan of Delhi, from today on, I will General Lan obeys his orders and can be driven as he pleases."

"Hahaha!"

He subdued the enemy without fighting and successfully captured the loyalty of a king. This made Lan Yu very proud: "It's easy to say, we are good friends."

Glancing at Zhou Sheng next to him, Lan Yu's eyes were full of proud interrogation: You were unwilling to cooperate with me at the beginning, but what about now?



Sure enough, early the next morning, Zhou Sheng hurriedly came to Lan Yu and asked him about cooperation.

When Lan Yu went to see Zhou Sheng for the first time, Zhou Sheng mistrusted Lan Yu in every possible way, questioned Lan Yu's combat capabilities, and also expressed distrust in Lan Yu's huge plan. This time Zhou Sheng came to Lan Yu with a very serious attitude. It was humility, but he also came with a question: "General Lan, you told Firuz Shah before that His Royal Highness would come when you were implementing your plan. Is it true?"

Whether Zhu Han came or not, how could Lan Yu tell Zhou Sheng?

Lan Yu just said ambiguously: "Whether it's true or false, the most important thing is your attitude, do you understand?"

Zhou Sheng's face turned red and purple in embarrassment when Lan Yu said something.

This was Lan Yu pointing him at him again.

Zhou Sheng did neglect Lan Yu before, but he thought there was nothing wrong with his caution. After all, he was a businessman and had to consider his own interests.

He thought so in his heart, but couldn't say it. He said to Lan Yu very seriously: "Please rest assured, General Lan. After listening to your plan, I was deeply impressed by your plan. I am here to represent Zhou Enlai." The Commercial Bank expresses its support for you, whether His Royal Highness will come or not, we will go all out to support General Lan."

"Yeah, okay."

After hearing what Zhou Sheng said, Lan Yu revealed some news: "The letter I wrote to His Majesty and the King of England has been sent out. As for whether His Highness the King will come, it depends on His Majesty's own time. After all, His Royal Highness is very busy, and he has many things to deal with, right?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhou Sheng seemed to see Lan Yu's flaws, and began to do his best to praise Lan Yu, describing him as the future God of War of the Ming Dynasty. Lan Yu was elated when he heard that, and the arrogance and wildness that had been hidden before gradually emerged.

However, after Zhou Sheng left, the smile on Lan Yu's face gradually disappeared and turned into a vicious one: "What Zhou family? Bah! After leaving His Royal Highness, you are nothing!"

Obviously, Lan Yu still remembers Zhou Sheng's appearance when he was indifferent to her.

Lan Yu chose to hide this jealousy because of Zhu Han, but he will always remember it, like a hungry wolf lurking in the dark. When Zhou loses Zhu Han's protection, Lan Yu will take revenge!

Of course, Lan Yu has not forgotten his mission in India: to eliminate Chen Youliang and Wang Baobao.

Chen Youliang's escape was not so much because of Chen Youliang's good fortune as it was Lan Yu who did it deliberately. He knew Chen Youliang very well and this guy was not someone who wanted to be subordinate to others. For Chen Youliang, joining Wang Baobao was the best choice, but Chen Youliang did not do this, but chose to take the risk to attack the Ilkhanate. The Ilkhanate fell into Chen Youliang's hands. In front of him, the Ottomans, Persia, Hungary and other countries would serve as shields to block the Ming Dynasty's attack.

However, the Ilkhanate and Wang Baobao were relatively close. When Chen Youliang was forced to the point of desperation, there was no guarantee that he would not attack Wang Baobao.

Lan Yu has already thought of ways to deal with the Ottomans, Persia, Hungary and other countries. If everything goes well, Lan Yu can go straight to Huanglong, but if it doesn't go well, it will greatly stimulate Chen Youliang and force him to make a choice.

A good plan that kills three birds with one stone... The more I think about Lan Yu, the happier I feel, as if Wang Baobao and Chen Youliang can be wiped out in a snap of the fingers.
