Chapter 186 The Walking Five-Baht Coin
Batangas.

The messenger walked into the palace, with a solemn expression, and reported to King Rosher the situation in the Manila port ahead.

King Luoshe, who was sitting on the throne, was looking intently at Prigo's report, which was sent along with the report and the terms of trade agreed with the Emperor of Han.

The articles are written in muddy characters, and the emperor of Han Dynasty also signed the muddy characters, fully showing respect for the people of Luzon.

After hearing the messenger's words, King Luoshe raised his eyes and glanced a few times.

The messenger said respectfully:
"Your Highness, I am ordered by Shaogu to come back from the port of Manila."

"He also sent eyes and ears? That's good, just come and listen together."

King Luoshe called Shaogu into the palace again.

Shaogu is the general of the Radical Faction and has a large number of soldiers and horses in his hands.

At the beginning, he was the one who was most against Prigo leading troops to Manila Port.

"Prigo must support himself!"

As soon as Shaogu entered the palace, before he read the report, he directly caught Prigo and spit.

He didn't care whether Prigo had the possibility of supporting himself.

It is impossible for a mere cook to divide his military power away!

"Prigo is doing well."

King Luoshe was not in a hurry and asked Shaogu to sit down first.

It's normal to have conflicts between close confidants and important ministers.

As a monarch, he is happy to see the two sides at odds.

He even pushed Prigo out on purpose just to check and balance Shaogu's power.

"Look at the memorial he sent first."

"Prigo and Handi had a friendly conversation, and the Han merchants also agreed to my terms, only limited trade."

"And this one, they've signed the terms of trade."

Shaogu looked at the memorial and the provisions, and nodded.

To be honest, Prigo did a good job at this point.

Even the emperor of the Han Dynasty signed the article with their Luzon clay characters.

For the monarch of a great country to use a foreign language, it is enough to show his sincerity.

But Shaogu still frowned. He not only paid attention to the trading behavior of the Han people, but also the movements of Prigo.

The better Prigo did things, the more worried he was, and he stabbed Prigo's spine from behind:
"Although Prigo is a confidant of His Highness, he is a cook after all, so he has no idea of ​​the overall situation."

"If you don't keep it neat, you will be bewitched by the Han people."

"A mere cook with two thousand soldiers will inevitably breed ambition."

King Rose waved his hand:
"If you say that supporting soldiers is self-respecting, two thousand is far from enough."

He glanced at Shao Gu vaguely, Shao Gu is the outsider who has the most soldiers and horses in Lu Song.

"I will always be loyal to Your Highness."

Shaogu hurriedly stated his position, and said at the same time:
"Your Highness, Prigo is out leading the army and is in contact with a big man. You must not listen to his one-sided words."

King Roser called the messenger to him again:

"So didn't I invite you here?"

"This is your person. If you match up with each other, you will naturally know whether Prigo has a different heart."

Shaogu looked at the messenger, stared fiercely, and said:
"Hurry up and tell me in detail how Prigo negotiated with the Han Chinese at the port of Manila!"

Although the messenger said that he obeyed Shaogu, but with King Luoshe in front, he didn't dare to add oil and vinegar.

Just tell what Prigo did, one by one.

King Roser nodded and said:

"It seems that Prigo did a good job, and respected the customs and culture of the Han people, and established a good relationship."

"This, for me, Lu Song, is somewhat beneficial."

"The Han people seem to be quite friendly."

Shaogu questioned:
"The Han people are friendly?"

"Friendship will hit Yizhou, fight against each other? This is the country of the big man!"

King Luoshe shook his head and said:
"Yizhou and Jiaozhou have always existed in the Han Dynasty since ancient times, but they were separated."

"It's legally tenable, but these are nothing."

"In short, I definitely don't have any thoughts about me, Lu Song, otherwise the world will discuss it."

"If the Han people can really abide by the regulations I set and restrict trading, it will be very friendly."

To a certain extent, trade can exchange what is needed.

Shaogu was so anxious that he almost jumped, and asked the messenger to report Prigo's every move these days, not just the result of negotiating with the Han people.

The messenger had no choice but to dry his throat again, and reported everything that Prigo had done after arriving in Manila Port, in detail.

King Luo She yawned a little while listening.

"This is it!"

Shao Guti listened, his eyes lit up, and he said:
"Prigo received a box of silk from the Han!"

"This is clearly a bribe!"

"On the surface, the Han army may have accepted His Highness's clause, but the port of Manila is far away."

"If Prigo turns a blind eye and closes his eyes, allowing the big man to secretly transgress the established regulations and carry out trade, we will not be able to control it!"

King Luoshe said patiently:
"Prigo did not accept it, but wrote down an IOU, which is equivalent to borrowing a box of silk from the Han people."

"After all, we are not cutting off trade, but restricting it."

"Borrowing silk for a second look, you can also know the quality of the other party's goods, so that the people will not be deceived."

"It's the little things"

This sentence touched Shaogu, and he jumped up immediately:

"How is this a trivial matter?!"

"If you dare to accept silk from the Han people today, you will dare to become an official in the Han court tomorrow!"

"I'm afraid in the eyes of Prigo, the wind of a big man is sweet!"

"Maybe what's on my mind!"

"He is a walking five baht coin! He is a living Zhaowu Tongbao!"

"Sooner or later, you will rebel! Han thief!"

Shaogu's saliva flew across, although it didn't splash on King Luoshe's face, but King Luoshe's complexion turned dark.

He opened a box next to him, and inside was a box of silk sent by Prigo.

Such a good item is worthy of his status.

If it is dedicated to the gentlemen of Boni Island, it will probably be more pleasing to the people.

What kind of dog talk is Ke Shaogu talking about?

Receive silk today, and become a Han official tomorrow?

So he is also a Han official?
He is also planning to buy some big man's porcelain, so will it also be beaten into walking five baht coins?

"cough cough"

Seeing the silk in the box, Shaogu suddenly stopped talking, coughed, and explained hastily:
"Your Highness, calm down!"

"The minister just expressed his worries, and definitely did not intend to belittle you."

"My loyalty to you has not wavered, but I am a little worried about Prigo's attitude towards the big man!"

"I just hope that Your Highness can be more vigilant in order to protect our sovereignty in Luzon, and not be invaded by big men like Yizhou and Jiaozhou."

"Please forgive me for your offensive words."

King Luoshe waved his hands impatiently. Shaogu was very against the big man, but his worries were not unreasonable:

"Tell me, in order to ensure that the Han people will trade according to the rules, what should be done next?"

Without hesitation, Shaogu said what was in his heart, saying:
"Send people, immediately and secretly send more people, not only to restrain the Han people, but also to restrain the folk nobles."

"Only by forcing them not to buy goods from the Han Chinese in large quantities, can Luzon's gold be prevented from flowing out from the source."

"Those nobles, three or five families can occupy a mine, and they are all rich!"

King Roser nodded.

He would be fascinated by the porcelain and silk of the Han people, and other nobles would certainly not stick to the rules.

How did the smuggling come about?

As for whether the Han people will sincerely follow the terms of trade, there is also a question mark.

The Han people came here exclusively for trade at sea, how could they not make money if they had money?
Seeing that King Luoshe accepted his opinion, Shaogu continued:

"At the same time limit the military power in Prigo's hands."

"Of course, two thousand soldiers can still be under his control, but the transportation of supplies and fodder must be limited."

"Only in this way can Prigo know that he has soldiers in his hands, but he has to do things according to our wishes."

"In this way, his ambition will not be fostered."

"Even if one day, there is a rebellion, without the food and fodder to support its long-term battle, it will not cause great chaos."

"How could a cook be rebellious?"

King Luoshe repeated what he said before, after thinking about it, he still said:
"The matter of food and fodder is up to you to arrange."

This is also a trivial matter, let Shaogu take care of it, it can be regarded as appease him.

And it is not bad to cause Prigo and Shaogu to fight each other and profit from it.

Anyway, the Han people will not stay in Manila for too long. When the Han Chinese fleet leaves, this Luzon is still his world.

However, King Luoshe still gave a special warning, saying:
"Prigo said in his letter that he wants to be Yi Ya and Duke Taihe of Luzon."

"His loyalty doesn't need to be said, and you shouldn't treat him too harshly."

Shaogu was stunned:
"Yi Ya, Taihe Gong, who are they?"

King Rosher said:

"Both are sages from the past. Although the two were born as cooks, one is willing to cook and kill his own son for the sake of the monarch, and the other is not hiding his selfishness and passing on his unique skills to others."

"Don't think that the cook is useless."

The sage of the big man?
When Shaogu heard this, he was excited again, comparing himself with the sages of the big man, isn't this a safe five baht coin for walking? !
But he held his temper and did not speak rashly.

Forget it, after all, Luzon is the place where farts are bigger, and throughout the ages, there is no second famous cook.
-
Port of Manila.

Prigo took his two thousand soldiers to the big man's banquet almost every now and then.

invite to a meal.

After going back and forth, they are very familiar with each other.

Especially those Luzon soldiers who have no ambitions.

Fu Xuance and Dian Chu ate with him, Liu Yin drank with him, and Shi Hai slept with him.
That's what those bosses really do.

No. 500 idiot, Liu Yin, was even highly respected for drinking and partying with [-] people alone.

Being constantly praised by Luzon soldiers, he really deserves to be a nobleman.

But the most surprising thing is the idiot No. [-] Shihai who deliberately disguised himself as a idiot, always in front of the transparent mascot.

After Shi Hai experienced the torture of the court ladies, he finally found himself.

Actually, together with those soldiers, they made a "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Luzon Custom Girls".

The children of the aristocratic families who went to sea together, including Fu Xuance, all praised him greatly.

It has the style of the ancient "Yuedan Commentary", and it is worth promoting vigorously!

Prigo was also dazed by this combo of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

The language may be different, but the hobbies are the same, the same world, the same dream.

But fortunately, he is extremely self-motivated, having fun is only a second priority, and there is no delay in business, and from time to time, he will ask Fu Xuance to learn Chinese.

And because it was the first time to lead troops, I also specially learned some Han people's art of war.

Fu Xuance is an all-rounder, except for managing politics, his other abilities are not bad.

He has never led a soldier, and his command has a full 80 points, and his theoretical knowledge is excellent.

It is easy to teach Prigo, a native of Luzon who has no contact with Han culture.

Just what he taught
"This Fan Sui is a famous general. He has a famous strategy of making long-distance and short-range attacks, but he almost died because he was suspected of betraying Wei."

"The famous general Wei Yin once captured the enemy's commander-in-chief and beheaded more than [-] people. He was falsely accused of treason and fled helplessly."

"Bai Qi fought more than 40 battles in his life, and he was never defeated. He even slaughtered [-] enemy soldiers. Everyone was terrified when he heard his name. Later, he was bestowed with death because of his great achievements."

As for the art of war, there must be examples.

Fu Xuance explained an example, so he casually told the life story of the famous general.

Prigot followed suit, clicking his tongue again and again.

Why is it so easy to die?

Either being framed or being suspected, how come there is no one who starts well and ends well?
Prigo is not stupid. Thinking from the perspective of those monarchs, doubts are quite normal.

Those generals have already affected the prestige of the monarch, so they should die, they should die.

Gan Wenjin occasionally listened to a few words.

I just want to laugh in my heart.

Throughout the ages, there have been many things that have been suspected by people.

Moreover, Fu Xuance only chose those generals who were suspected, suspected, or directly supported the rebellion to explain the deeds.

Who is it not to be confused?
However, in this Zhaowu Dynasty, there is no chance to make great achievements.

In terms of merit, who can compare to His Majesty today?

Can Yue Shaoqian fight?

When he was in danger, he was ordered to garrison Qiongzhou many times, and even led troops to repel the Eastern Hunan Army. In the Battle of Gaozhou, he held on to the city and fought to the end, making great contributions.

It is definitely helping the building to collapse.

But compared with the emperor, his achievements can only be counted as half.

Even half of his merits are on his head, and he was able to make meritorious deeds because the emperor took the lead.

And seeing that, His Majesty is about to make another great achievement.

This is Luzon.
Really rich.

Gan Wenjin was planning to make a golden belt with golden bells hanging on it.

What is the navy card face? !

Luzon really has no shortage of gold.

"How much did you earn this time?"

Gan Wenjin found He Hong, who was dealing with Luzon nobles.

He Hong's eyes were almost in the shape of five baht coins, which were still golden five baht coins.

He sneaked around and gestured five fingers to Gan Wenjin.

hiss.
Five ingots of gold?

Luzon not only has gold mines, those Luzon nobles have hoarded a lot of gold.

And business is doing great.

In the Central Plains, even if you rob it, you may not be able to get back so much gold.

In Luzon, you only need to use porcelain and silk to pile up the sleeves with gold.

They even let Liu Yin and those Luzon nobles have a drink, let Shi Hai and them comment on the pretty women in Luzon, or let Fu Xuance have a gluttonous feast.

With ease, the business was won.

"That's all you have? It's hard for me to sell porcelain to you!"

"According to your King Luoshe's regulations, we are all restricted in purchase."

This guy is only willing to pay a tael of gold for a piece of fine silk, so hurry up and get the next one.

He Hong went straight to it, drove away the poor nobleman with gold, and ushered in another Luzon nobleman who was a little richer.

The nobleman's bid is quite satisfactory.

He Hong found another Luzon nobleman and asked the two to bid, and after a comparison, he sold the goods.

Gan Wenjin looked at it with a smack of tongue.

During this period, he saw a lot of rich kids buying and selling.

No one, like He Hong, squeezed out the last piece of gold from the Luzon nobles.

And only in and out.

Let him sell porcelain, silk and so on, that's fine.

If you want him to spend his gold and buy some Luzon specialties, it's impossible to even think about it.

Even if you are hungry or thirsty, you have to hold on, waiting for the emperor to entertain Prigo and the Luzon soldiers, and then follow the past to have a full meal.

For a person like Gan Wenjin who likes extravagance, he couldn't bear to see He Hong, the reincarnation of the brave:

"Hoarding and speculating, if it gets out, your reputation may not be good."

"reputation?"

He Hong scoffed, how much money can fame earn?

"Hoarding?? This is called the highest price. If you can't afford the price, it's not my problem, it's their problem."

He pointed to the nobleman who had just bought the silk in the distance. The nobleman noticed something and immediately turned around and smiled at He Hong.

"Look, we sold the goods and made gold, and the Luzon nobles who bought the goods also felt that they had made money."

"Your Majesty has made money, and so has the treasury."

"Everyone wins, who loses?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Luzon nobles suddenly retreated.

He Hong put away the gold with a vigilant face, and clenched his fists viciously:

"Once the goods are sold, they will not be returned or exchanged."

"This"

The Luzon nobles took two steps back. These days, the sailors of the Han Dynasty have also gone out to sea to catch kuns.

That fierce energy frightened him so much that he didn't dare to act rashly.

After a while, he said:

"I may not come again after that, Mr. He, take care."

"Ok?"

He Hong was stunned for a moment, and said:
"If you don't buy it, I'll raise the price!"

The Luzon nobleman gritted his teeth and said:

"The trade quota for this month should be almost the same."

"Luzon, after all, is King Luoshe's Luzon."

"What the hell."

He Hong looked puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Shi Hai, who had just taken the Luzon nobles to comment, hurriedly found Liu Ke.

He is different from those idiots. After collecting some news, he analyzed the current situation in Luzon.

Report to the emperor as soon as possible.

Liu Ke hasn't done anything these days.

It's nothing more than eating, drinking, and occasionally taking the sailors to go out to sea to catch kuns and replenish them.

Under the fate of [Free Trade], if Luzon does not impose restrictions, he can even rely on catching kuns and obtaining local materials to directly evacuate Luzon's gold mines.

"Your Majesty, King Roser has sent additional men to keep an eye on him."

"Separate into two groups with Prigo, and Prigo will monitor on the surface and limit our sales."

"The other part of the manpower restricts those Luzon nobles who spend a lot of money."

"The Luzon nobles who have already traded excessively have been arrested."

"That's it"

Liu Ke pressed his belly, as if he was getting fatter.

"Let's see, are the people of Luzon willing to take risks to buy things, or is it the power of King Roche that can restrict trade?"

"By my order, Kun Kun will be made Lord of Lu Song."

[Qiji opens the mansion: After you give the little animal the title of king and open the mansion, the little animal will become popular all over the world]

He had conferred the title of Fujun to chickens before, and the effect was obvious. All under the rule of the big man were raising chickens.

Even the chickens on the merchant ships were treated favorably.

Even the children of those aristocratic families like this mediocre poultry very much.

After making Kunkun the mansion lord, the effect should be good.

It may not be able to radiate to the entire Luzon, but the effect will cover the Manila port where the Han Chinese caravan is located, so it should be no problem.

But it is impossible for Luzon people to raise Kun.

Even if there are kun candles, kun meat, and kun skins for sale, there is only one Han businessman.

Coupled with the destiny of [Free Trade], the attractiveness of goods is greatly increased.

Guessing that those Luzon people couldn't see Kun Kun, they felt like ants were crawling in their hearts.

King Rosher restrictions didn't work either.

Because this time it is not a sale of porcelain or silk.

Kun meat, kun skin, kun candle and other kun kun derivatives are relatively cheap.

Ordinary Luzon people can afford it.

Officials in Luzon can't stop it at all.

Han merchants can sell in secret.

As for the violation of the provisions
What you used was mud characters, and what you signed was also Bo mud characters. What's the matter with Guan Dahan?

Besides, my sailor who can go to sea to catch kuns is here, if you dare to make trouble, come and try?

If King Luoshe puts further pressure on the people, it is tantamount to fighting against the Luzon people.

By the time.
Liu Ke looked at his pile of [fudge], [empathy], and [princes and generals have kindness].

In addition, Fu Xuance, an expert in archery.

It is normal for Luzon people to fight for their freedom, right?
