The little man is born to make money

"Hey, don't tell me, although this thing didn't fall from the sky, it came out of the bottom of the sea!"

Wang An's words were like a thunderbolt hitting everyone's heads.

From the bottom of the sea?Who is this fooling!If there were so many treasures in the sea, would those foreign barbarians still need to pay tribute to Daxi all these years?

Many people sneered at Wang An's words in their hearts, thinking that Wang An was fooling this matter for the sake of nonsense, and he did not hesitate to say such foolish words.

Although other people don't believe it, Emperor Qi Yuan and the four princes and five princes, who know Prince An well, don't think so.Lao Liu didn't want to show his things, and he still made such a joke in the hall.It's just that these things are really from the sea?

Emperor Qi Yuan frowned, realizing that the matter was not simple.He slowly turned the jade wrench in his hand, with no expression of joy or anger, "Prince An, what's going on?"

The fact that Emperor Qiyuan could ask such a question showed that he already believed in Prince An's words in his heart.

The seventh prince is about to explode in anger, why is the father so partial to the sixth son, and he also believes the nonsense that comes out of the sea?

"Father—" The Seventh Prince wanted to say something, but Cheng Enhou grabbed his sleeves.Now that Emperor Qi Yuan had already spoken, there was no need for the Seventh Prince to get involved. What exactly happened is up to His Majesty to decide.

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but glared fiercely at Prince An, and stood aside ferociously, as if he was going to swallow Prince An alive.

Emperor Qi Yuan didn't seem to notice the small movements of the people below, and continued to wait for Prince An's reply.

Prince An hesitated, stood there hesitantly, stepped forward and said, "Father Huang Mingjian, I don't know the details of this matter, and Qi Lin was in charge of it from the beginning to the end, let him answer it. As for the others, I can only say that these things have a clean history and there is nothing inappropriate about it."

"Heh, Prince An is really good at making excuses. At first he said that he came out of the sea, but now he says that he doesn't know the inside story, so he really does not touch anything." The seventh prince said angrily.

Cheng Enhou coughed somewhere, hating iron and steel. In the past, he only thought that the Seventh Prince was reckless and refused to listen to advice. Why do you think he is so stupid now?Prince An said that the specific cause and effect of this matter is handled by the crown prince, so just wait for the crown prince to answer, why are you popping up so quickly?No matter how the son handles this matter, you are inferior to the way you are trying to pull people off the horse in such a hurry!

Sure enough, when the Seventh Prince said this, Emperor Qi Yuan's face became very ugly. He didn't expect that Lao Qi's forbearance skills have become worse and worse these years, and now he can't even compare with the Twelve Princes and others behind him.

"Qi Lin, tell me." Emperor Qi Yuan didn't want to pay attention to these worrying things, and asked Qi Lin.

Qi Lin nodded, and said the speeches he had prepared in advance, "I want to report to the emperor, this matter is a long story, and it all starts with my minister chasing down a group of Japanese pirates..."

There are many Japanese pirates in Linhai. This is something that many people know, not only in the southwest, but also in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. It is precisely because of this that the country has always prohibited private merchants from going to sea to prevent them from being robbed by Japanese pirates.

But in recent years, those Japanese pirates have become more and more rampant. They not only rob fishermen at sea, but even come to the shore by boat in autumn and winter, burning, killing and looting nearby residents.Over the years, the fishermen by the sea have not been disturbed by it, and many of them have moved away from the coast.

It's not that the country doesn't want to take care of it, but because most of the soldiers of the Daxi Dynasty were born inland and are not good at water. When they are at sea, they are like beasts with their nails pulled out, unable to exert their own strength.When the imperial court faced Japanese pirates, it often hurt eight hundred enemies and one thousand. Therefore, over time, the imperial court stopped paying much attention to the Japanese pirates.

It’s not that the Daxi Dynasty did not go to negotiate with the DPRK and the Yamato Kingdom every year, but it’s a pity that these two countries are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have to rely on Daxi’s rewards for them every year to live, let alone allocate energy to control the Japanese pirates .

So the matter of the Japanese pirates has been dragged on until now, and Qi Lin never thought that he would start with this matter when he opened his mouth.

"Weichen caught the heads of those Japanese pirates, and after some torture, he discovered that these Japanese pirates had their strongholds on the nearby islands. Weichen felt strange that the Golden Island and Banyue Island belonged to the Yamato Kingdom and North Korea. How could the territory suddenly become a stronghold of Japanese pirates. So Weichen sent nearby fishermen who knew Korean and Japanese to infiltrate the two islands, only to find out that these two countries had long secretly supported these Japanese pirates to rob wantonly at sea!

They let these pirates rest on the island every year, and then come out to rob in autumn and winter.The people on the island are basically their descendants. They are the people of Yamato and North Korea on weekdays. Once autumn and winter come, they will change their appearance and come out to burn, kill and loot.That's not to mention, whenever the soldiers of the Daxi Dynasty chased these Japanese pirates to the two islands, the women and children on the islands would come out to testify and deliberately lure the soldiers to other places, either sending them away or setting up traps to assassinate them. ! "

"Okay, let me tell you why after so many years, I haven't found the base camp of these little Japanese pirates. I feel that they are colluding with officials and bandits, and the common people are covering up, so it's like we are blind!" He couldn't help but yelled angrily, "These god-killing barbarians are really unfamiliar white-eyed wolves who eat ours and take ours. It's okay to be ungrateful, but they actually did this kind of thing to the people of our Xi Dynasty! "

The fourth prince frowned tightly, and he suppressed his anger when he saw it, but compared with the fifth prince, he was more cautious and thought more comprehensively, "Do you have any evidence for these? Although North Korea is our vassal country, it is also a country in essence, and if there is trouble, it is a matter of diplomatic relations between several countries."

Qi Lin nodded, how could he just talk about such a thing!

If it wasn't for the Japanese pirates, he wouldn't have known that these two countries were so disgusting. He finally knew why Xu Yucheng in his previous life talked about these two countries every day, and even used their names when he cursed people.

She's just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, greedy and arrogant!

"This matter has been collected enough evidence, and it will be handed over to the emperor in a few days. It is because of the secret acquiescence of the courts of the two countries that this matter is not easy. Sure enough, after more than half a year of lurking, this minister The news came from his subordinates, he discovered that these two countries actually have several gold mines! And the Yamato country has a gem mine on the other side of the Red River!"

After Qi Lin finished speaking, everyone in the hall stopped breathing, and many of them blushed with shock on their faces, especially those military officers, who were gearing up to stare at Qi Lin and almost asked him where his address was.

As the saying goes, the golden belt of murder and arson, ordinary people can get wealth and change their appearance by doing robbery, and a country will lose a lot of money and manpower when it goes to war, but once it wins, there will be a steady stream of money. War money!

No one knows better than these military officers how much benefit can be obtained from a victory, especially the laws of the Daxi Dynasty allow soldiers to keep [-]% of the spoils they get!Yamato and North Korea are just two small foreign countries, not even Daxi's ordinary provincial capital. If there is a real fight, it will undoubtedly be crushed by Daxi. As long as Daxi wins, those things won't matter Did Daxi get it?

Qi Lin shook his head, "It's not that simple."

"How to say?" Emperor Qi Yuan asked quickly.He was also moved, the emperor didn't want to have a big pocket, and now such a good opportunity was in front of him, even though he had been the emperor for so many years, he still couldn't help breathing heavily.

"Dahe Kingdom and North Korea have a small territory and poor supplies. It is impossible for them to produce so many gold mines. I have inquired that those gold mines were snatched from other smaller countries or unowned islands. Although those islands have no owners, there are primitive aborigines living on the islands, but their minds are not enlightened, they don't understand the people's feelings, but they don't know that they have treasures. When they meet people from North Korea and Yamato, they are all slaughtered. Steal gold, silver and jewels, or the natives will be taken to the mines and used as slaves!"

"A group of beasts, like hair and blood, killing people like hemp, without any mercy, what is the difference between such a person and a beast?" An old minister who followed the principles of Confucius and Mencius couldn't help but cursed, and then he reacted, covering up with some embarrassment. noodle.

Civil servants feel sorry for each other, but military officers don't feel much. Is there any bloodless dispute between the two countries?It's just that I still don't agree with the approach of this group of people.The people of the Daxi Dynasty were all influenced by the words of the sages of heaven and law, even if they had different positions, they would not be able to do such a destructive thing.

"I □□ majestic go to the country, why don't the people come into my arms? What Yamato and North Korea have done is inhumane, and it is time for the heavenly kingdom to send troops to crusade, as a warning to others!" Emperor Qi Yuan snorted coldly, with a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

Sure enough, the emperor's grandfather was worthy of being an emperor, and he knew what he wanted to express so quickly.Putting such a good piece of fat in front of you, if you don't hurry up and take a few bites, is it possible that you have to be humble?

Qi Lin chuckled in his heart, but his face was very serious, and he said to Emperor Qiyuan, "Your Majesty, Xinli, which was devastated by North Korea a few days ago, sent people to ask for help. Suffering from the torment, they are willing to attach themselves to Daxi from now on, the king is appointed by the Holy Son of Heaven, and [-]% of the country's tax revenue and output will be contributed to Daxi."

General Zhang took a breath, stepped forward quickly, and said in a rough voice, "Your Majesty, I am willing to send troops to go!"

"Wei Chen is also willing!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing!"

The other military officers are not far behind, what a great opportunity, the opportunity to seal their wives and sons is just around the corner!Even many civil servants are eager to make a move. It is really too big a cake, and there is no risk, and everyone will be tempted.

As for the Seventh Prince and the Twelfth Prince who wanted to take advantage of this incident to anger Qi Lin at the beginning, they were already in a daze, looking as if they had been greatly shocked, but now they still care about them?
