In any case, it is clear that Akito did give a loan contract with low interest, a large amount, and favorable terms. For North Koreans, the use www.biquge.info of Ming treasure banknotes is completely open to the Ming Kingdom, and it is not a problem.

Confirming this, the expressions of Li Yuhao and Cui Mingji were extremely relaxed.

"Xiao Wang has signed!" After that, Li Yuhao fell one by one, and he didn't hesitate at all, but he was afraid that after he agreed, it would be Mingren's turn to regret it.

Of course, Xu Huanwu has no intention of repenting.

He smiled and took out the formal agreement, in duplicate, directly in Chinese. Li Yuhao has no objection to this. In these years, if it is said that the high-ranking officials and nobles of North Korea do not know how to use Chinese characters, it can only be said that this is a person who cannot get on the stage, does not learn and has no skills.

Even among the Japanese, who were less influenced by Chinese culture, many nobles did not speak Chinese, but they certainly recognized Chinese characters.

The Jingshi Ordnance Workshop quickly made room for the two parties to have a large living room.

For this reason, the Jingshi Ordnance Workshop, which has always been tightly guarded, has even opened reporters to enter. The reporters from the Beijing Times were solemn, a painter and a reporter, the two quietly looked at the field, Xu Huanwu and Li Yuhao sat opposite each other, the two exchanged agreements in their hands, and after the signature of the brush, it was the sound of the two seals falling down.

When this sound fell, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Cihong stepped forward and shook hands with Li Yuhao with a smile.

The picture is frozen here. The painters of the Jingshi Times Office were like divine helpers, and they quickly took shape to the paintings.

After the signing ceremony ended, everyone was smiling, especially Li Yuhao and others, who smiled sincerely. After the end, Zhao Zhenhui asked curiously.

He had long understood that the Ming Dynasty was open to loans to the North Koreans. But in the same way, such a cheap aid loan, such a convenient and no pit conditions, really made Zhao Zhenhui incomprehensible.

What's more, Zhao Zhenhui understands that Zhu Cihong is not the kind of person who wants to save face and suffer crimes. I would never spend a huge sum of one million taels of silver for the vanity of a little tributary of all nations.

Although it is a treasure banknote, for Zhao Zhenhui, who is used to using treasure money, it is money.

After thinking about it again, Zhao Zhenhui couldn't hold back his curiosity after all.

"Why did Your Majesty throw this one out like this...... Generous loans? Millions of dollars, if it is a school education, how good it is. Zhao Zhenhui did not have the cheekiness to say that he would invest in the military industry, after all, after all, the ordnance orders were greatly reduced after the war. Being able to export is a great thing to revitalize the ordnance workshop.

But in the same way, Zhao Zhenhui is also deeply aware of the importance of education. Every time the Jingshi Ordnance Workshop recruits workers, it takes a lot of time, money and energy to spend on training. And this is the result of recruiting a group of new workers among the best.

Regarding Zhao Zhenhui's doubts, Zhu Cihong obviously expected it, and said with a smile: "This contract is indeed quite generous and conscientious. However, there will be no pure conscience between countries. One million is not small, but it is worth it for the future of Daming. Of course, and most importantly, this time the loan got off to a good start. ”

"What's the good head, your subordinates are really puzzled?" Zhao Zhenhui asked confusedly.

"If you lend out 1 million taels and buy the right to dictate to the North Koreans, what if it is another 500,000 taels? This is much more effective than a painless edict. In the past, the Ming Dynasty had to rely on the authority of the suzerainty to control Korea. Authority is always based on power. If the two countries are allowed to communicate economically and their interests are bundled, with the size of the Ming Dynasty, they can naturally control North Korea above the economy. To this end, it can be more groundstone and more reliable than a simple executive order. Zhu Cihong paused, and then said: "As for why you don't need to go to education." Today, I lent out 1 million taels, and next year, I can get back 2 million taels to invest in education. ”

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Fresh Jinghua Times, His Majesty the Emperor received the Korean State Fenglin Maharaja Li Yuhao, and sold huge orders! ”

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The Korean State received a million-dollar aid loan from the Central Bank of the Ming Empire! ”

"Sell newspapers! North Korea's Monarch of Fenglin Ri Woo-ho announced a large-scale purchase, which is scheduled to be held on February 16 in Building 3 of the State Guest Building! ”

……

"This newsboy, please wait a moment, this is your silver. We're going to buy two copies...... No, ten newspapers! A skinny man stopped the newsboy and took out a handful of silver beans from his bosom.

Seeing this, the newsboy rolled his eyes, but said helplessly: "This gentleman is a foreigner, you have a lot of silver beans, let alone buy ten newspapers, even a hundred copies are enough." Can...... Students really can't take it apart. Don't you have a small amount of money? ”

"Treasure money?" The somewhat thin man was slightly confused, and after recalling it for a long time, he realized that it was something that had been abandoned before the Ming Dynasty and was almost useless. Nevertheless, the man understood what the newsboy meant, and took out a small handful of silver beans, stuffed them into the newsboy's hand, and then took the ten newspapers: "The rest will be regarded as a reward for you to convert the treasure money." ”

After that, the group walked vigorously to an inconspicuous courtyard.

Inside, someone had been watching for a long time, and when they saw that it was these people coming, they immediately opened the door cleanly, and saw that no one was following, so they entered.

Although the thin man holding the newspaper was considered thin compared to most Ming people, when he entered here, he suddenly looked much taller in comparison.

After entering the house, many people fed it, and the thin man sat on the tatami mat and slowly picked up the newspaper and magazine of the Beijing Times to read: "Fenglin Dajun announced a big purchase ......"

"Million-dollar Aid Loan ......"

"Ordnance big order!"

……

Flipping through one report after another, the look on the man's face became more and more solemn.

At the same time, a person outside the house strode at this moment, very hurriedly, and also entered with a stack of newspapers in his hand, and when he saw the man in front of him, he said loudly: "Fenghou guards the palace." It was only then that the North Koreans received news from the outside world that the Koreans had obtained a huge amount of loans in Daming, as well as the right to import arms! Please accept the newspaper you brought! ”

"It turned out to be Tsushima Shou, I also saw these newspapers, let's sit down and talk about it." The thinner man waved his hand, and the man, who was not much older than himself, fell back into a state of shock that absorbed the huge amount of information.

It turned out that this person was Abe Tadaaki, who held the position of the elder in the Hontokugawa Iemitsu shogunate today.

As for the other person, his identity is also extraordinary. It turned out to be the second-generation feudal lord of the Equestrian Domain.,That is, the son of the first feudal lord Zong Yoshichi.。
