Start Summoning West Factory Flower

The wheels turned, one or two carriages slowly moved forward, and the drivers were all smiles and excited.

Looking at the fleet that was getting farther and farther away, Zheng Ming narrowed his eyes.

"Dali Dynasty, feel the charm of business!"

He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

This is his first step towards the Dali Dynasty in the true sense.

If those were all layouts before, then today is the time to start harvesting.

Some fruits are ready to be picked.

For example, Si Jianmen.

"Your Highness, let's go back." Xin Qiji said softly.

Zheng Ming glanced at the end of the mountain road and nodded.

"Go back and prepare, the silver dollar can be issued."

Zheng Ming has been preparing since he decided to cast silver dollars.

Not only established a mint, but also transferred Gong Shuqiu to the mint to study the minting machinery.

Gong Shuqiu and a dozen craftsmen worked together for three months before they built a machine called a screw press, which can quickly cast various silver and copper coins with very fine and beautiful patterns and textures.

In fact, as early as two months ago, the mint had already started to manufacture silver and copper coins. At present, the mint's warehouse has stored silver coins and copper coins with a total value of more than 10 taels.

After Zheng Ming returned to the palace, before he could sit down and drink a cup of tea, the black devil came running.

"His Royal Highness, the Lord of the Rain has sent a message to come back and ask His Highness, do you want to continue to expand on the Siyu Island?" Black Demon said.

In the past six months, Yuhuatian has not been idle. Taking advantage of the chaos of Siyu Island, it has continued to expand the Siyuan Kingdom. Now the Siyuan Kingdom is no longer the down-and-out family it used to be. Even the army has expanded more than ten times, and the standing army has reached more than 1 people.

The overall strength has already ranked in the forefront of many famous countries.

Zheng Ming sat at the desk, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let him come back first."

Now that the situation on Siyu Island has stabilized, and all countries have stopped their expeditions, if the Siyuan Kingdom continues to expand at this time, it is likely to face a boycott of many big names.It may even attract the attention of the shogunate.

As for overthrowing the entire Eastern Ying Dynasty, Zheng Ming never thought about it.

That was a dynasty, even if it was a relatively weak dynasty, it could not be overthrown easily.

What's more, he is still an outsider and has no absolute strength. It is a fool's dream to rely on conspiracy and tricks to destroy a dynasty.

The Black Demon nodded in response, and said, "Your Highness, an official document has been sent from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Official text!" Zheng Ming was surprised. "They sent official texts to this king? Are you kidding me?"

He is the county king of Dali, and not from the Zhou Dynasty, so there is no reason to send him an official letter.

After taking the official document handed over by the black devil, Zheng Ming opened it and read it.

After reading it, he couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that the Great Zhou court is really messed up!"

The official text was sent in the name of the Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the reason was salt.

In the past six months, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been wrangling with Dali because of this matter, and will send a letter of credentials every once in a while, but needless to say, all of them were sent back by Zheng Qingsong.

For this reason, the Great Zhou Dynasty was furious, but there was nothing they could do.

Because Dali is stronger than Da Zhou.

Martial arts prevailed in the Dali Dynasty, and its military strength was still very strong. Although there were constant disputes between the royal family and the Bailianzong, Zheng Qingsong had sat on the throne for 40 years, and his control over the court had almost reached its peak. It is stable.

In contrast, there were many problems in the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as suspicion of the main country, corrupt officials, lax military, chaos in the sects, the rise of noble families, and so on.

These problems made the Great Zhou Dynasty seem particularly powerless.

If it weren't for Zheng Qingsong's age now and he was too lazy to toss, he might be able to bite off a piece of fat from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not directly destroy the fleet of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce. They were afraid of causing a war.

Zheng Ming so blatantly sold snow salt to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was precisely this point.

In the Golden Dynasty, Zheng Ming did not sell snow salt, but only traded regular commodities, and he honestly paid taxes.

The reason is that the Golden Dynasty is not afraid of Dali.

man!It's just bullying.

The Eastern Ying Dynasty is the softest, and Zheng Ming even sells ordinary sea salt.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was next, so they played a little trick.

The Dajin Dynasty was the toughest, and Zheng Ming was also afraid that they would go crazy, so he only made regular transactions.

"Where are their people?" Zheng Ming asked.

"Master Xin arranged for them to rest in the other courtyard of the county government office." The Black Demon replied.

Zheng Ming held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Bring me to meet, this king wants to see what they are thinking."

The black demon bowed and retreated.

Chapter 97 Return of Yuhuatian

About half an hour later, the clerk of the county government came to the palace with two officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

One has a big belly and looks like he is pregnant in September, with a fat head and big ears, and smiling eyes, like a Maitreya Buddha.

The other is a burly stature, with bright eyes, and at first glance, he is a warrior.

"Yu Shijie, a member of the Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has met the King of Dali Shanhai County!" Yu Shijie said with a smile.

Zheng Ming pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Master Yu, sit down and talk."

Yu Shijie cupped his hands and sat next to Zheng Ming, while the warrior stood behind him.

"Master Yu, if you have something to say here, just say it directly? This king doesn't like to talk nonsense." Zheng Ming said.

Yu Shijie squinted his eyes into a slit, and said with a smile, "This official is here to cooperate with the prince."

"Oh! Cooperation!" Zheng Ming asked with a smile: "What kind of cooperation method?"

Yu Shijie said: "The first is salt, and the second is Yihetang!"

Zheng Ming smiled.

It seemed that the other party already knew that Yihetang was behind him.

In fact, this is something that cannot be hidden, as long as you go to the Luoyu Islands and investigate a little, you will know.

What really made Zheng Ming laugh was that the other party actually came to cooperate.

Is it funny or not to come to cooperate with the official document of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

"Who do you represent?" Zheng Ming asked, playing with the jade pendant in his hand.

"Grand Zhou Yu Guogong's mansion." Yu Shijie said.

The funny part is here, Yu Shijie came with the official document of the Great Zhou court, but it represented the Yu Guogong's mansion.

This shows how corrupt the Great Zhou court was.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites actually used the name of a business trip to do private affairs.

"Tell me about the details of the cooperation." Zheng Ming smiled.

How the Great Zhou court has nothing to do with him, he doesn't bother to care.

In contrast, he was somewhat interested in the cooperation Yu Shijie said.

Yu Shijie said: "I heard that there are two kinds of salt in Shanhai County, one is snow salt and the other is ordinary sea salt. We want to do ordinary sea salt business with Wang Ye."

Obviously, he came prepared, and actually knew about ordinary sea salt.

Don't forget that Shanhai County's regular sea salt is only sold in Shanhai County and Dongying Dynasty.

And what's more interesting is that they actually want to do the business of ordinary sea salt.

"Yes, this king can let Yu Guogong's mansion be the general agent of the Zhou Dynasty." Zheng Ming agreed without hesitation.

There is no reason for him to refuse this kind of door-to-door money deal.

Yu Shijie said again: "As for Yihetang, our Duke Yu's office would like to take a stake. In exchange, the Duke Yu's office will help the prince deal with the problems within the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"For example, let the Great Zhou Dynasty not attack Yihetang."

After he finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and stared at Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming's face was still full of a warm smile, as if he hadn't heard that this was his threat.

Send troops to attack Yihetang!

It is not a piece of cake to attack Yihetang with the strength of the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yu Guogong's mansion has taken a fancy to the interests of Yihetang, and wants to take a share of it.

But trying to take food from his bowl is not enough.

"Yihetang belongs to this king, and Luoyu Archipelago also belongs to this king. You can get a share of it if you want, but it's not enough!" Zheng Ming said.

"Don't use the Dazhou Dynasty to scare this king. Behind this king is the Dali Dynasty. As long as Dazhou's navy dares to approach the Luoyu Islands, then Dali's army will dare to step into Dazhou's territory."

"Don't doubt whether this king can command Dali's army, you must know that Dali's generals really want to make achievements."

Just kidding, the dignified Dali Dynasty would be afraid of Da Zhou's provocation?

Zheng Ming didn't lie either. Many generals in the Dali military wanted to find something to do, and the weak Great Zhou Dynasty was their dream target.

If it wasn't for Zheng Qingsong not wanting to fight, those generals would have jumped out to challenge things.

Yu Shijie's face changed slightly, obviously he understood this, but he still wanted to try it.

"What does the lord want?"

Zheng Ming thought about it and said, "How about Beiyuan County?"

"Impossible!" Yu Shijie refused without even thinking about it.

Beiyuan County is the northernmost county in the Great Zhou Dynasty, just south of Shanhai County. From Shanhai County to the south, across the mountains for [-] to [-] miles is the boundary of Beiyuan County.

The territory of the Dali Dynasty is like a kitchen knife, and Shanhai County is the handle of the knife, which is sandwiched between the Dajin Dynasty and the Dazhou Dynasty.

It is definitely impossible for Zheng Ming to want Beiyuan County. Even if Yu Guogong's mansion is very powerful in the Zhou Dynasty, he cannot do anything to sell the country.

Zheng Ming spread out his hands and said, "Forget it, you can't give what this king wants."

Yu Shijie took a deep breath, knowing that Zheng Ming was playing with him.

After being silent for a while, he could only say helplessly: "Since the lord is unwilling to cooperate with Yihetang, let's only cooperate with ordinary sea salt."

"No problem, I will let the people from Shanhai Chamber of Commerce handle the specific cooperation content. I hope we can cooperate happily." Zheng Ming said with a smile.

Although Yu Shijie had threatened him before, he was a kind prince who liked to make money with peace.

Harmony makes money, in order to be able to make money, a little peace is acceptable.

Uh-huh!

The king is a kind person.

The arrival of Yu Shijie was just a trivial matter for Zheng Ming, and Zheng Ming directly threw it to the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce to deal with.

A few days later.

Yuhuatian is back.

Zheng Ming specially asked the kitchen to prepare a large table of dishes to reward Yuhuatian.

"I've been here for half a year, hard work!"

Zheng Ming looked at Yu Huatian, who was still enchanting, and raised his glass with a smile.

"It is the honor of a servant to serve His Highness." Yu Huatian got up and raised his glass and bowed.

The two toasted together.

"Is it all arranged over the Siyuan Kingdom?" Zheng Ming asked.

Yu Huatian said: "Sun Yu has already broken through to the third rank, and the slave has let him take the position of the slave. In addition, the slave has left ten factory guards, which is enough to ensure that there will be no trouble in the Four Yuan Kingdom."
