Chapter 971: Send another five million
In the Yang Mansion, all kinds of fruits were placed on the stone table in the courtyard early in the morning, and the freshly brewed tea was still steaming, and when Xu Youzhen came here, he saw the scene of Yang Chendong casually watching Yang Bao.
This is almost a homework that Yang Chendong must do every day, learn about what happened yesterday through the newspaper, if he thinks something is important, he will pay special attention to it, and if necessary, he will also order someone to deal with it, which not only makes his relationship with the people closer, but also gives the people a feeling of loyalty and courage everywhere, which increases the weight of Yang Bao in Shicheng.
"Young Master, Lord Xu is here." The distance was still far away, Yang Er's voice came, and when Yang Chendong's head turned, he saw Xu Youzhen standing there a few steps away, his head slightly lowered, and he looked like a lower official seeing a higher official.
Yang Chendong didn't feel strange that Xu Youzhen would have such an attitude, with the reminder of the last time he went to Beiming Jingshi, plus this time he saw the prosperity and prosperity of Shicheng, as long as there is no problem in his brain, he knows what kind of attitude he should have after seeing himself.
"Come, Xu Shangshu, come and take a seat." Yang Chendong had already beckoned when he was far away, and Xu Youzhen hurriedly agreed and hurried over. As he walked forward, Yang Chendong's voice came twice, "Yang Er, tell me to go down, there is nothing particularly important this morning, young master, I won't see any guests." ”
"Understood." Yang Er retreated after agreeing, and soon, there was a sound of the door closing from the courtyard door behind him, which indicated that Yang Chendong was going to have a long talk with him.
Xu Youzhen hurriedly walked over and sat down opposite Yang Chendong, and when she looked up, her eyes were full of curiosity, doubt, and even admiration.
Regarding Xu Youzhen's performance, Yang Chendong looked at it with his eyes, and smiled in his heart. If a person has the ability to control him, he always has to show greater ability. Apparently now he has done it. "Xu Shangshu, I came here after thousands of miles, I guess there must be something to teach me, but I don't know if it's good news?"
"It's good news, good news, great joy, Sixth Young Master." After being stared at by Yang Chendong's eyes, Xu Youzhen's original idea of pinching it suddenly disappeared, and he reached out and took out the holy decree of the "killer weapon" to seal the king.
The psychology that originally wanted to bargain is gone, and there is only how to make Yang Chendong happy and please the other party. "Sixth Young Master, this is the holy decree that I invited for you from Emperor Daizong with great effort, and you are not satisfied."
"The Decree of the King?" Yang Chendong, who originally didn't care about everything that happened, also changed his expression at this moment.
Yang Chendong has worked hard several times to seal the king, but the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is obviously difficult and not easy to achieve. And as the power of the Yang family continued to expand, his thoughts faded. If he is not crowned king, he will have no power? Could it be that if Da Ming doesn't admit himself, his Yang line doesn't exist?
It's just that I didn't expect that I didn't have any ideas anymore, and such a good thing as being crowned king would fall on my head. With a hint of excitement and excitement, Yang Chendong opened the holy decree under the golden appearance.
Holding the holy decree in his hand, he looked at it word by word, and after a long while, Yang Chendong's voice sounded with an exclamation, "King Wunan, hehe, although there is no other motive, but this time Daizong did put some money, presumably what he needs me to do will not be too small." ”
What kind of person is Yang Chendong, how old and spicy his vision is, in the title of King Wunan, he has seen a lot of problems. Needless to say, "Wu" has proved that his various actions have proved that this word is really appropriate for him. The word "south" has some meanings, which means that the small southern barbarian countries occupied by Yang Chendong are all in the south, and he himself should also toss in the south, such as the north, so he doesn't have to worry about things.
is just a title, and Emperor Daizong of the Northern Ming Dynasty still expressed his meaning, that is, he hoped that Yang Chendong would not stay in the north and get in the way, but should go to the south to find the bad luck of the Southern Ming.
"Sixth Young Master, this title was reported to Emperor Daizong after Xiaguan Baisi. I think that only in this way can this matter of the king be done, if there is anything wrong, please ask the sixth young master to bear with me. Xu Youzhen lowered her head and said these words with a little weakness. He couldn't see if Yang Chendong really liked this title, but he didn't dare to hide what he should say, and the attitude he should express should also be expressed.
Feeling Xu Youzhen's caution, he sighed that this person deserves to be able to become a generation of powerful ministers in history. It's just that he has been crowned king, and his wish is considered to have been fulfilled, and as for the king's name, he doesn't really care. Could it be that if he is crowned the king of Wunan, he can only operate in the south?
Turning his head and folding the holy decree aside, Yang Chendong showed a sincere smile on his face, "Where Xu Shangshu said, you can be crowned king, where is there anything wrong?" Don't think too much about it, come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Xu Youzhen wanted to get up as he spoke, but Yang Chendong had already drunk the tea into his mouth with laughter, and then stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down. "Xu Shangshu, there are no outsiders here, just the two of us, there is no need to be so formal, I don't call you Shangshu, how about changing it to Brother Xu?"
"That's good, good." Xu Youzhen kept nodding. From the moment he entered this small courtyard, the initiative was completely in the hands of Yang Chendong, and all he needed to do was to join this person.
"Well, Brother Xu, you must have made a lot of efforts to achieve this holy decree, let's talk about it specifically." Yang Chendong asked with a smile on his face. He thought of many things that he couldn't do, and now he has been done by Xu Youzhen, and he will be rewarded.
"Yes, Sixth Young Master, the situation is like this..."Xu Youzhen knew that this was not polite, so he told all about his proposal in the court, as well as going to the apse to talk to Emperor Daizong and the eunuch Jin Ying.
Yang Chendong sat there and listened carefully, nodding from time to time, cooperating with Xu Youzhen's "speech". After the other party stopped, he laughed and said, "Did you get this throne just by sending grain and grass to Sanbula Chuan City and giving Jin Ying 100,000 taels of silver?" ”
"Well, that's all there is to it." While Xu Youzhen nodded, she was shocked in her heart.
He knew that Yang Chendong was rich, and what Jingshi Zhongtian Waitian Trading Company sold every day belonged to Rijin Doujin. One hundred thousand taels of silver couldn't stop him at all, but it was not easy to transport grain and grass to Sanbula Chuan City, but no matter how it looked, it didn't seem to be in the eyes of this person.
Without the shock of Xu Youzhen, Yang Chendong spoke again: "Okay, it's just these little things, now this king can agree to it." At this moment, he already regarded himself as the king of Wunan, and after saying this, he said generously: "Brother Xu has worked a lot in this matter, so naturally he also has to be rewarded, so how about giving you 200,000 taels of silver as a reward?" ”
This can earn 200,000 taels of silver, Xu Youzhen was overjoyed in her heart, but she still had to make a prevarication on her face, "Oh, Sixth Young Master, this can't be helped, you said that we are on the same boat, and I will be your subordinate in the future, what is the matter with giving me silver." ”
"What you want to give, what you want to give, you have to reward for meritorious service, this is my rule, okay Brother Xu, I don't want to shirk, and if I shirk again, I will only think that 200,000 taels of silver is less."
"Okay, then thank you Sixth Young Master." Xu Youzhen immediately stopped talking. He knows what it means to be insatiable, and he also knows that such a person is the most unpleasant, so he will accept it when he sees it.
"Hmm." Seeing Xu Youzhen's acquaintance, Yang Chendong smiled with satisfaction, and then said in a changed voice: "Just with the benefit of this, I'm afraid that I can't do things well, I think Daizong still wants to give gifts, so it's good to give five million taels of silver." ”
"Five million for Daizong?" When he heard this, Xu Youzhen's eyes widened, he didn't know what kind of wind Yang Chendong was smoking, and he actually said such a thing. Is it true that there is more money to support, and others don't say that they want money to give money?
This is Xu Youzhen who wronged Yang Chendong. The Yang department has opened up the road of business, especially many products that are not available outside, and it has indeed made a lot of money from this. But since the establishment of the Yang department, it is not too much to describe it as spending money like running water.
Especially every time a land is occupied and a lot of construction is carried out, it takes a lot of silver, and when many small countries that occupy it have not fully played the role of application, they will not see the money back at all, and they still need the continuous help of the Yang department. One place is like this, two places are like this, and when the land is like this, the silver in the hands of the Yang family is not very rich now, although it is not necessary to describe it as overstretched, but it is also necessary to weigh it carefully if you give away five million taels of silver casually.
Knowing this, Yang Chendong still did this, the reason is that Xu Youzhen said just now, Daizong first wrote a holy decree, but if he wants him to tell the world about the king, he still needs to wait for Yang Chendong to solve the danger of Sanbula Sichuan City before he can do it?
But is that really the case?
Emperor Daizong will not cheat. Now he didn't want to see the 200,000 Northern Ming army annihilated, so he had to crown himself king. Once the crisis is lifted, presumably if he doesn't want to, he will have a hundred or even a thousand reasons not to fulfill his promise. What was Yang Chendong going to do at that time? War with the Northern Ming?
Let's not talk about whether the Yang family has such strength now, just saying that once the war starts, it will be a kind of harm to the Han nationality itself, and it is far from what Yang Chendong wants to see. Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of unpromised things, it is necessary to give Beiming the five million taels of silver.
