Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 201
Yan Wangfu.

With the rain and sleet falling in the sky, Guo An sat in the public house, baking the stove.

Jin Zhong walked in slowly, "Chang Shi, Shen Zhuang is asking to see you outside the palace gate."

"Shen Zhuang?"

A light flashed in Guo An's eyes, "Let him in quickly."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Jin Zhong led the dusty Shen Zhuang in from outside the door.

"Grassman Shen Zhuang see Guo Changshi!"

"Get up."

With a gentle face, Guo An beckoned Shen Zhuang to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Shen Zhuang took out two deeds and apologized to Guo An.

"I also ask Guo Changshi to forgive me. It took a long time for Cao Min to go to Suzhou, but the elders in the family agreed to cooperate with the Yan Palace and signed a contract!"

Guo An took the deed paper, glanced at it, and then looked at Shen Zhuang.

"So, you and the elders of Shen's family have also heard about the matter between Yan Wangfu and Gao Liguo."

Hearing this, Shen Zhuang's face froze slightly.

"Such shameless things about the small country of Goryeo have spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty."

Guo An looked at Shen Zhuang, and said in a low voice: "If the Goryeo Kingdom doesn't pay back the money, His Royal Highness King Yan will definitely invade the Goryeo Kingdom...

Since Er Shen's family has signed a contract with King Yan's Mansion, they will honestly cooperate with King Yan's Mansion.Otherwise, no matter how big the Shen family's family business is, you are still a member of Ming Dynasty.

It is much easier for His Highness to punish the Shen family than to punish Goryeo. "

Shen Zhuang felt slightly relieved, and nodded quickly.

"Thank you Guo Changshi for your teaching, my Shen family will never dare to lie to His Royal Highness King Yan.

Moreover, please rest assured Guo Changshi, my Shen family can become a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, relying on integrity. "

Guo An sneered, "Your Shen family's business comes from Haimao, don't think we don't know."

Shen Zhuang was stunned.

Guo An waved and stood up straight away.

"Okay, let's send this deed to His Royal Highness King Yan for review, and get the big seal printed on it, so you can go back and speed up the construction of the sugar workshop."

"There is a long history of Lao Guo."

Shen Zhuang was full of thanks.

After a while, Guo An came back with a signed contract.

Shen Zhuang thanked him respectfully again, took the deed, and then, led by Jin Zhong, went to the sugar workshop to learn sugar skills.

The first snowfall in Beiping Prefecture in winter stopped after only one day.

Immediately, the whole Beiping Mansion became lively again.

Especially at the Zhangjiawan Wharf, taking advantage of the fact that the river was not frozen, all the merchants speeded up the transportation of goods, at least to stock up enough goods for the people of Beiping Mansion for the winter.

At the same time, some merchants in Beiping Mansion, especially some goods from Yanwang Mansion, were also being shipped to the south.

The concrete road from Wanping County to Zhangjiawan Wharf is full of traffic, and it is a prosperous and prosperous scene.

……

This year, Guo An spent more than half a year with the army.

After coming back, apart from being on duty at Yanwang Mansion, when he had nothing to do, he and Zhu Di carefully studied a map of Koryo that was taller than a person.

Afterwards, he stayed at home and teased the two little ones at home, the time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it's over.

Before the New Year's Eve.

The envoys of Goryeo also hurried over.

A group of dozens of people had no choice but to disembark from the boat at Dagukou because the river was frozen, and found the Thousand Households at Dagukou.

Thanks to the spread of the loan incident between King Yan's Mansion and Korea a few months ago, thousands of households in Dagukou also heard about it.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom were going to Beiping Mansion to meet His Royal Highness King Yan.

The Dagukou Thousand Households Office immediately dispatched a general banner and led a team of troops to escort the Korean mission to Beiping Prefecture.

"Your Highness, the country of Korea agrees?"

Hearing the news about the Korean Mission, Guo An went directly to Zhu Di with a happy expression on his face.

Zhu Di said with a faint smile: "The Korean mission didn't bring any money, so it should be regarded as consent!"

Guo An had a feeling of disbelief, "The king of Koryo is so soft?"

You must know that since ancient times, those kings would regard the matter of a country's territory as their lifeblood.

Now, when it comes directly to the battle of a city, he surrendered so easily without using swords and soldiers, and without hearing how much movement there was in Korea.
Guo An frowned slightly, always feeling unreal.

In this regard, Jin Yiwei did not infiltrate Korea, and Zhu Di did not know the inside story.

So, after waiting for five days in a row.

The Korean mission finally arrived at Beiping Mansion.

For the group of Dagukou soldiers who escorted the Korean mission, Guo An ordered the officials of the Yan Palace to treat them with good food and drink.

The members of the Korean mission are received according to the procedure.

First, the Koryo mission sent the greeting cards, and on the second day, Zhu Di received a group of Koryo envoys in the Chengyun Hall.

"Cao Minxiu, the official of the emperor's family in the Changcheng government office of Gaoli, sees His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"A matter under the Changcheng Mansion's monarch's sect?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di, Guo An and others couldn't help but express their expressions.

This kind of official position in Daming is equivalent to a state official and a six ministers.

However, in Zhu Di's eyes, the ruler of the small country of Koryo was not as important as an earl of Daming. After recovering from his senses, he waved his hand lightly.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan!"

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhu Di's attitude, Cao Minxiu still kept his face full of humility knowing the purpose of his visit this time.

Afterwards, Zhu Di didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Cao Minxiu, the King of Korea sent you here, but you came to submit your credentials to us?"

"..."

Cao Minxiu was startled, then quickly cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness Yan, calm down, I borrowed 21 taels of silver from His Highness Yan before, but my envoy from Korea did not think carefully. Let him come and apologize to His Royal Highness King Yan personally!"

After Cao Minxiu finished speaking, a figure came out from the crowd of the Korean mission and knelt down directly towards Zhu Di.

"Foreign minister Li Shihou visited His Royal Highness King Yan, the foreign minister committed a heinous crime, unexpectedly..."

Before Master Li finished speaking, Zhu Di looked impatiently at Cao Minxiu coldly.

"Why, you Goryeo want to go back on your word? Or, do you want to deny the deed?"

Cao Minxiu quickly replied: "His Royal Highness Yan Wang misunderstood, I, Koryo, absolutely did not mean that."

"Then what do you mean by letting a little envoy come out to apologize to the king? To insult the king?"

As he said that, Zhu Di was furious, "Fuck your mother, come here, pull that thief officer out, and cut him off."

"Here!"

Two imperial guards came in from outside the hall, and dragged Li Shihou out.

"His Royal Highness Yan, please forgive me, Your Highness Yan... please forgive me..."

"His Royal Highness, calm down, the foreign ministers came here with sincerity!"

Cao Minxiu was also taken aback by Zhu Di's tyranny, and quickly bowed his hands in salute.

"no……"

However, following a horrified scream, the entire hall fell silent. Cao Minxiu and the Korean missions were all pale, and some of them were even trembling.

King Yan was so tyrannical?
Above, Zhu Di had a gloomy face, "This king is meeting you to hear whether Koryo will pay back the money to the king, or use the city to pay off the debt?
Don't you want you to send a few petty officials who can't figure out who you are to apologize to the king?

If you dare to go around in circles with me again, I will kill you along with me! "

"His Royal Highness calm down, the foreign minister understands, the foreign minister understands!"

Cao Minxiu is also a person who knows current affairs, and he nodded repeatedly.

Zhu Di asked: "The king of Korea sent Er to wait, should he pay back the money, or use the city to pay off the debt?"

Cao Minxiu quickly replied: "Go back to His Royal Highness King Yan, the foreign ministers are here to discuss with His Highness, and use the city to pay off the debt!"

Hearing this, Guo An, Zhu Fu and other civil servants couldn't help but look happy.

As for Tang Yun and other military generals on the opposite side, they were the weak Korean monarchs and ministers with wide eyes, angry and indisputable!
Zhu Di asked again: "Did Ergoli choose a good city for this king?"

Cao Minxiu replied honestly: "Your Highness, forgive me, there are many coastal cities in Koryo, Your Majesty, whichever one you like, you can use whichever one you like to pay off the debt."

Zhu Di asked, "Can you bring me the map?"

"Return to Your Highness, the foreign minister has brought a map this time."

After finishing speaking, Cao Minxiu looked at a Korean official behind him.

The official quickly handed the map in his hand to Cao Minxiu, Cao Minxiu slowly opened it and showed it to Zhu Di.

"Bring it up."

Zhu Di said lightly.

"Yes!"

Cao Minxiu responded and prepared to go up.

But he saw that a servant who had been waiting by Zhu Di's side had already walked down.

Cao Minxiu hurriedly stopped, and handed the map in his hand to the servant respectfully.

He Zhong took the map, looked it over carefully, and then walked up to Zhu Di holding the map in both hands.

Zhu Di looked at it carefully, and then looked at Cao Minxiu.

"This king wants Haifeng County!"

Cao Minxiu's eyes widened, and he refused repeatedly without even thinking about it.

"His Royal Highness, forgive me, Haifeng County is adjacent to my Koryo Wangjing, no matter what, I, Koryo, will not give up Haifeng County City!"

Zhu Di stared at Cao Minxiu closely, until Cao Minxiu was sweating, and then said again: "Then the king wants Jianghua Mansion!"

"This……"

Cao Minxiu was shocked again, he never thought that King Yan would be so greedy.

"I would like to report to His Royal Highness King Yan that Jianghua Mansion is a single mansion. Even if His Royal Highness King Yan wants to use 21 taels of silver to pay off the debt, it is not enough."

Zhu Di said directly: "My king will add more money!"

Cao Minxiu: "..."

Opening his mouth, he said with a helpless wry smile: "His Highness just used a city to repay the debt before, but he didn't talk about using an island.

Moreover, I, the King of Koryo, once moved the capital to Ganghwa House, and I will never sell Ganghwa House. "

Zhu Di was furious, "You thief officer, why did you tell me just now that all coastal cities can pay off debts? Why don't you sell this or that? Could it be that you, a thief official, are also here to amuse the king? ?”

Cao Minxiu was terrified, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Although I, the King of Koryo, would like to use the city to pay off the debt, it is also worth a city..."

Zhu Di waved his hands impatiently, "I don't want to quarrel with you anymore, Yan'an County!

It's still far away from your Koryo king's capital, and it's just a small county town. Your Koryo country can't play tricks on the king again! "

"Yan'an County..."

Cao Minxiu was full of bitterness, the King of Yan was really not easy to fool.

However, Yan'an County is only a small city, and it is more than 100 miles away from Wangjing, so there is no need to worry about the safety of Wangcheng.

Most importantly, he, Cao Minxiu, did not want to lose his life in Daming because of a small town.

Zhu Di asked coldly: "Huh? This time, what excuse do you have?"

Cao Minxiu paid a slight obeisance to Zhu Di, and said, "Your Highness, Yan'an County is a big city in Korea, with a vast territory and a large number of people. I wonder how much taels of silver His Highness King Yan is willing to give?"
