Wanli 1592

Chapter 249 Zhu Yijun finally laughed heartily
After discussing the details with Wang Xijue, it was already evening. Zhu Yijun was in a good mood, and his stomach was still full of hunger. Looking at the high cheekbones on Wang Xijue's face, he knew that Wang Xijue had been thinking about these things these days, so he didn't think about it at all. After eating, he looked malnourished, so he thought of buying people's hearts, so he said to Wang Xijue: "It's getting late, Wang Qing, don't rush back, stay and use it with me." meal."

Wang Xijue immediately felt overjoyed - this is a good time to establish a relationship with the emperor!
Zhu Yijun’s meals were actually not as extravagant as imagined, and the emperor’s meals were actually not very delicious. Earlier, cooking for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty was the work of Honglu Temple, but the cooking skills of Honglu Temple are really good. It is so bad that people in the capital have rumored that there is food from Honghe Temple among the four unreliable Beijing Normal University, and the news of the poor cooking skills of Honglu Temple has spread to the people. It is conceivable How aggrieved those emperors who have not lived a hard life.

Since Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor began to ask the eunuchs around him to provide some delicious food. For the eunuchs, the emperor's order is heaven, and they must try their best to collect delicious food. The emperor eats and drinks!The guys at Honglu Temple don't have to do it, get out!He actually gave me pig food for so many years!

Up to now, preparing meals for the emperor is the business of the eunuch system around the emperor. The eunuchs prepare meals for the emperor, and carefully select delicious food for the emperor. If the emperor is satisfied with the meal, he is naturally willing to spend money. These eunuchs It is also common to get a little out of it.

But should I say it or not, the loyalty of these house slaves to the emperor is unquestionable, and the meals are handled very well. Wang Xijue carefully ate a few mouthfuls of that golden dish called Fuguimantang. It should be a soup blended with broth Juicy and carefully processed chicken shreds, it feels extremely delicious when you bite it down, and your appetite is whetted for a while, and you ate a few bites fiercely, and one accidentally choked on it, coughed a few times, and your old face flushed.

"Hahahaha! How long has it been since Wang Qing had a full meal? The salary of the chief minister of the cabinet should not make Wang Qing hungry?"

Zhu Yijun sat at the head, watching Wang Xijue's ugly eating, he burst out laughing.

Wang Xijue hurriedly confessed: "The old minister has lost his composure."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, eating is to eat to your heart's content, and there are only you and my monarch and ministers here, and it's not a formal occasion. You can eat whatever you want. I don't blame you. This golden jade Isn’t the whole house good? Zhang Cheng, ask someone to bring another serving to Mr. Wang Ge!”

Wang Xijue quickly said: "No, no, don't bother Your Majesty!"

"It's okay, since I invite you to eat, how can there be no reason not to let you eat and drink enough?" Zhu Yijun waved his hand indifferently: "You just eat and drink, as long as you are full."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Wang Xijue felt relieved, so he ate for a while in a relaxed mood. At least he filled his stomach and satisfied his appetite. He put down his chopsticks contentedly, and thanked the emperor for his reward.

Zhu Yijun had almost finished his meal, and he ate two bowls of rice. When he was satisfied, he said to Wang Xijue, "Is Wang Qing still satisfied?"

"Your Majesty gave me the food, the old minister is very grateful!"

"Hahahaha! Don't be polite to me, just tell me what you want to eat, as long as I have it here, I will definitely satisfy you!"

Wang Xijue hurriedly said: "The old minister dare not bother His Majesty with the desire of one's own mouth."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I happened to make a small amount of money recently, and I don't lack money."

Zhu Yijun took a sip of the soup comfortably, wiped his mouth, and said meaningfully.

Not short of money?
Wang Xijue suddenly felt that he had heard something funny - when did the Ming court not lack money?Since Emperor Yingzong Jingdi, when did the Ming Dynasty not lack money?Especially you, Emperor Wanli, who complain about lack of money every day and year after year. When will you be able to say "no shortage of money" from your old man's mouth?Could it be that the emperor opened a mine to mine gold and silver?

"Your Majesty's meaning, I don't quite understand..."

Wang Xijue asked tentatively.

The corners of Zhu Yijun's mouth hooked up, and he said softly: "Well, it's normal if you don't understand, I didn't quite understand it at first, but now I understand, you can eat it at ease, no matter how much you can eat, you can't eat it all at once. More than 1000 million taels of silver, right? Hahahaha! Eat as much as you want!"

More than 1000 million taels of silver? !
Wang Xijue opened his mouth suddenly.

"Your Majesty just said... more than 1000 million taels of silver? Don't be ridiculous, Your Majesty. This is the total financial revenue of my Ming Dynasty for three years. If there are more than 1000 million taels of silver now, the problems of the Ming Dynasty can basically be solved. Your Majesty should stop entertaining the veterans!"

Wang Xijue acted like you don't lie to me.

Zhu Yijun laughed, and said, "Zhang Cheng, show Xiao Ruxun's battle report to Elder Wang Ge."

Xiao Ruxun?
Wang Xijue's eyes flashed - this name has been heard a lot in the past two days, a new star in the army, especially good at fighting, but what does this guy have to do with more than 1000 million taels of silver?
Zhang Cheng quickly handed a battle report to Wang Xijue. Wang Xijue took it with both hands and looked at Zhu Yijun. , When seeing those numbers, the whole person stood up from his seat in surprise.

"Waguo pays 800 million taels of silver and a mountain of silver?!"

Wang Xijue shouted out of composure.

Zhu Yijun finally laughed heartily.

"Your Majesty! This..."

Zhu Yijun laughed enough, stood up from his seat, walked down, walked to Wang Xijue's side, took the battle report, and said with a smile: "Now Wang Qing understands why I said that? I'll tell you the truth. , I didn’t really believe it at first, but there are black and white letters and signature seals, I can’t believe it or not, who dares to deceive the king in this kind of thing?”

Wang Xijue immediately swallowed back his doubts.

That's right, in this kind of matter, unless there is a little bit of stone turning into gold, who would dare to deceive the king?Will be punished by the Nine Clans?

So, is this true?
Japan compensated 800 million taels of silver, which would be paid off in five years. Japan compensated a piece of Iwami Yinshan with an annual output of 100 million taels of silver. Ming had 50 years of mining rights. Japan opened its treaty ports, and Ming merchants did not need to pay customs duties when they went to do business.

This is the key phrase in this battle report.

The 800 million taels of silver are paid off in five years, that is, 160 million taels a year, plus a silver mountain with an annual output of one million taels of silver, the total is 260 million taels of silver, and Ming can have an extra 260 million taels a year Silver's income is still pure income, income that does not belong to local taxation, which is equivalent to doubling the income in one year, and two years' income in one year...
