I’m The King

Chapter 921: : Huanghuang Hanwei (45)

The 500,000 taels mentioned by Wang Wudi is naturally not the principal of the debt issued by the Dongfu, but simply refers to the interest.In fact, after the one-year period is up, only a few people get back the principal. More people get the interest back, and the principal buys the next bond again, and some even reinvests the bond with interest. In the past few years, everyone who bought the bond issued by Zhengdongfu I have tasted the sweetness and used the letter from the East Mansion as a guarantee. After one year, I will make a steady income without losing. Based on the experience of Wang Wudi in the past years, the gap is only about 500,000 taels.

But in other words, the scale of bonds issued this year will only be expanded again to meet the needs of the year.As a householder, Wang Wudi, who is proficient in financial planning, naturally understands the risks and debts here. The snowballs are generally getting bigger and bigger. Even if the principal is not repaid, the interest alone is a large expense. To maintain the credit of the Zhengdong Mansion, the Zhengdong Army needs to continue to expand and continue to win battles, so generally In other words, Wang Wudi's request for military expansion in the Ministry of War, increased production, storage, and research and development of new weapons, is still relatively generous, complaining to complaining, but when he really wants to take money, he is never soft.

When I heard Gao Yuan said that he could get him another one or two million taels of silver, Wang Wudi's eyes suddenly beamed, and at the two eyebrows that were hanging upside down, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said: "If If the Governor can really get it, then this year will be better this year. After paying the debt interest, plus all kinds of expenses at the end of the year, at least a breakeven will be achieved this year, and there will be no loss."

"In fact, the matter of conquering the East Mansion and establishing the country can be simpler. You don't have to be too extravagant. You have always called yourself an iron cock. This time, you might as well promote it again.

"That's not good!" Wang Wudi, who has always been stingy, is uncharacteristically this time." The Governor, this is a major event, an overriding event, and everything can be saved. On this, there is no way to save medicine. This is the best of a country. Decent, and your majesty, you can’t make people look at the jokes. I have already prepared this money. Since the governor said that there is still such a large sum of money in the account, it can be lenient."

Seeing that Wang Wudi's iron **** is generous, Gao Yuan's idea of ​​being frugal is considered bankrupt. He shook his head and stopped talking. Whenever formalism seemed to be needed.

The negotiations on the second day seemed to go much smoother. Fan Sui believed that he had gotten the line of the East Mansion. As a military master in the world, Gao Yuan would not know the importance of Zhucheng to the Qin Army. He should be very clear that Qin Jun is. In any case, he refused to give Zhucheng to Zhengdong Mansion.His lion opened his mouth. It was nothing more than trying to blackmail some benefits elsewhere, and this benefit was nothing more than money.

So when he sat on the opposite side of Gaoyuan again, he made a new condition with confidence, in addition to the land promised in the first negotiation, another compensation of 1 million taels of cash from the East Mansion. The condition is that both parties Sign a peace treaty, non-aggression, and Jiuyuan County's Zhengdong Army must immediately withdraw from Jiuyuan County, and cannot leave a single soldier in Jiuyuan County. At the same time, the garrison of Shannan County shall not exceed 5,000. As a corresponding condition, Qin will not have more than 5,000 troops in Jiuyuan County.

Fan Sui did not mention the tens of thousands of people from the Qin State who had been looted by the Eastern Army in Jiuyuan.Gao Yuan seemed to have completely forgotten about this incident.The two sides signed this agreement under the conditions of a friendly atmosphere.

Holding this agreement, Fan Sui's heart is not relaxed. The signing of the treaty does not mean that the two parties are safe and sound. On the contrary, this time he came to Jicheng and what he saw and heard made him affirmed Gao Yuan. As a rising star on this continent, Gao Yuan and Qin are completely in conflict with the ultimate goal. One day, the two sides will inevitably meet each other and fight each other on the battlefield. It's too weak, so we can only compromise with each other.

Fan Sui has now deeply realized that the Zhengdong Mansion will inevitably become the strongest opponent of the Qin State in the future, and the policies implemented by the Zhengdong Army, in Fan Sui's view, are much more advanced than those of the Qin State, but he Although I understand this, it does not mean that the Qin people can follow the other side's pace.The Zhengdong Mansion led by Gao Yuan is a new force. They dare to break all the old shackles, based on a white paper. On top, they rebuild their unique order, but Qin is not. The country has been established for hundreds of years, and the entrenched interest group has been firmly tied to Qin. Li Ru's way of governing the country only combines the two sides. The interests overlap as much as possible.If Qin also comes to learn from the East Mansion, I am afraid that the country will be destroyed and no outsiders will be used to fight it, and the country will be chaotic.

On the tenth day after the two sides completed the signing of the red, from Fengcheng direction, more than a dozen carriages, under the **** of the heavily armed Qin soldiers, drove into the Chadianzi Zhengdong Army Camp, and Ye Zhen received these on behalf of the Zhengdong Army. The carriage, without the slightest stop, sent the Mei Hua Division of the First Division of the Youth Guards to **** these dozen carriages back to Jicheng.

A few days later, the carriage appeared in front of Gao Yuan, and the boxes were lifted down and piled in front of Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan smiled and walked to the pile of boxes, kicked over, and the top box fell down. , With a bang, the lid of the box opened, and the neatly coded silver fell out of the box and scattered to the ground.

The escorts such as Mei Hua opened their eyes. The order they received was that no one was allowed to approach the box along the way, nor were they allowed to probe what was in the box. It turned out to be a box of silver. Several horse-drawn carriages are worth over a million taels of silver. Even if Mei Hua was from a wealthy family, he was dazzled by these silvers at this moment.

Standing next to Gao Yuan, Wang Wudi smiled so that his eyes were narrowed. He has already taken over Jicheng's original inner warehouse, but unfortunately the inner inner is already empty, and now he finally has some silver pieces to hold the bottom of the warehouse. , I feel more confident in my heart.

The transfer of silver was clear. The Qin Army began to retreat as agreed. The first to withdraw was Fengcheng. Then the Qin Army and the Zhengdong Army entered and retreated. The two sides cooperated and tacitly cooperated. The Qin Army has just withdrawn from an occupied city, less than an hour. The troops of the Eastern Army will prepare to appear and take control of the city.

The action efficiency of both parties was extremely high. In just half a month, the Qin Army withdrew from the more than 30 county towns in Wei Di, and the East Army moved in. The Huanglong Banner that was just made was flying high above these. Newly occupied land. Before the people of Wei Di had time to be grateful for the departure of the Qin army, they were shocked by this brand-new banner that they had never seen before.

Qin Jun left, but Wei Jun did not come.

The private transaction between the Qin people and the Zhengdong army kept the person involved in the Wei Ren in the dark. When the large-scale retreat of the Qin army spread to the beam of the capital of the Wei state, the whole court was rejoiced, and Wu Qi searched everywhere. Two million taels of silver were sent to the Eastern Army, which caused a lot of criticism, but now, the criticism was swept away. Money can make ghosts punish, and the Eastern Army who took the money is really brave, even Qin Jun They all looked at the wind cloak, running faster than the rabbit, and a large area of ​​land was regained by the Eastern Army. If you count on Wei himself, don't say two million taels of silver, it is 20 million taels, and it may not be able to get from the Qin people's mouth. Take out food!

For a while, Wu Qi's prestige was in the sky, and the beams were decorated with lights and festoons to celebrate the victory, and the officials of the State of Wei who had fled from the occupied areas before also began to pack up and prepare to return to their hometown to accept the lost ground.

However, when the first official of the Wei state who returned to his hometown happily to accept local management was mercilessly expelled by the Eastern Army, the Wei people finally discovered that something was wrong. The Eastern Army occupied the place where Qin State vomited, but he didn’t. Did not inform the Wei people, and did not intend to hand over to them.

"Say, what did the enlisted Zhengdong Army say?" Wu Qi stared at the county magistrate who had been expelled back. "Which general did you see?"

The county official looked aggrieved. He didn't see any generals at all, and the other party didn't see him at all. At the gate of the county seat, several soldiers who defended the city heard that they were county officials of the Wei Dynasty and immediately turned over. Face, if it weren't for running fast, I'm afraid they will poke flowers on the butt.

The other party does not recognize their identities at all.

Wu Qi felt a little uncomfortable. But he still plucked up the utmost courage and regarded this as a single issue due to the lack of communication between the two parties. While sending envoys to Jicheng, he patiently waited for others to accept the local government. Echoes from officials.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, without exception, those officials were either unceremoniously expelled back, or were left aside and ignored them, let alone taking back the local management authority, and even every move. All his words and deeds were closely monitored by the Zhengdong Army.

Wu Qi finally understood what was going on. The typical front door drives the wolf and the back door enters the tiger. What is even more painful is that this tiger actually spent hundreds of taels of silver and white money to invite it by himself. Please God, it is easy to send it. Difficult, the Zhengdong Army is preparing to swallow these places in one bite.

Energetic, Wu Qi rushed to Jicheng again to see Gao Yuan.

Yan Shenghao once again approached the haggard-faced head of Wei Guo.

"Wu Xiang, the governor already knows about the recent unhappiness between our two sides, but, as you know, the governor is too busy now, so he entrusted me to explain to Wu Xiang." Yan Shenghao Gentle and pleasant, unhurriedly and authentically.

"You helped our country expel the Qin army. We are grateful, and we are ready to thank you with the utmost sincerity." Wu Qi said with difficulty: "Our country has agreed to raise another five million taels of silver to raise thanks. The generous help of the Eastern Army this time, but a strict discussion of politics, you are also aware of the current situation of the Wei state. If we cannot recover the lost land in time and collect taxes from these places again, it will be difficult for us to collect this sum of money for a while!"

Yan Shenghao coughed dryly, five million taels of silver, which really made him salivate, but think about it again, no matter how good the silver is, there will always be land and population when the flower is finished, and that is the endless way to make money. .(To be continued)
