    "What? Do you want me to send someone to train your newly recruited 50,000 soldiers?"

    Zhao Hongyu looked at Eunuch Xue standing in front of him with a somewhat shocked expression. He never imagined that Zhu Shangwu would have such an idea.

    To be honest, the Ming Dynasty was full of talents, so it was not his turn to train those 50,000 soldiers and horses.

    And after all, I am still an outsider to Daming.

    "If you really accept this decree, what will you make the civil servants, military generals, and officials of the Six Ministries of Ming Dynasty think?"

    At that time, these people will think in their hearts, is it possible that in the heart of the emperor, we are not even as good as the foreigners?

    ¡°Even, there will be those petty guys who even hate themselves.

    "This is indeed what the emperor meant, and the emperor said that if you are willing to send people to train these 50,000 soldiers and horses, then our court will order 50,000 fire guns."

    Yo!

    This is a big deal.

    When Zhao Hongyu heard Eunuch Xue say these words, he immediately became energetic.

    Fifty thousand muskets, this is no small business.

    Once it is done, the subsequent profits will be endless.

    "Maintenance, ammunition, and replacement parts all require Ming Dynasty's money to purchase from himself.

    ¡° Moreover, after this business is completed, it means that I will be more closely tied to the Ming Dynasty.

    At the same time, if there are fire guns, wouldn't more expensive artillery also have a market?

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu suddenly became energetic.

    However, nothing was revealed on his face, he still looked so indifferent.

    "Old Xue, your emperor already owes me a lot of money. Think about it, if I agree to this thing, wouldn't I still owe the money for the musket? You can do the math for yourself, how much you owe me now,  So let¡¯s talk about this¡­¡±.  When Zhao Hongyu said this, he paused pretending to think deeply.

    It doesn¡¯t matter that Zhao Hongyu did this, which immediately made Eunuch Xue nervous.

    You know, Zhu Shangwu is very concerned about this matter.

    Because this little fat man was disappointed with the generals of the Ming Dynasty, he was extremely eager to control a powerful army by himself and at the same time be able to solve the crisis in the capital with his own strength.

    When the time comes, the other feudal lords will find excuses, saying that their lack of ethics caused this crisis or something.

    Eunuch Xue, who was very aware of his master's thoughts, also took this situation into consideration and became so nervous when Zhao Hongyu paused.

    Before coming to Zhao Hongyu, Eunuch Xue mentioned the Song Dynasty's tactics to Zhu Shangwu.  So this aroused Zhu Shangwu's interest.

    Originally, Zhu Shangwu¡¯s interest was all in grenades. After all, the power displayed by grenades made Zhu Shangwu very interested.

    But when Zhu Shangwu heard from Eunuch Xue that the Song people¡¯s muskets were also very sharp and their tactics were very powerful, he thought maybe he could learn from it.

    However, Eunuch Xue reminded Zhu Shangwu that it was easy to learn the musket battle formations of the Song Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty did not have so many muskets.

    at the same time.  The muskets of the Song Dynasty were more sophisticated than the muskets of the Ming Dynasty.

    If there were no Song people's muskets, even if they learned the Song people's musket fighting methods, they would not be able to exert their full power.

    Therefore, Zhu Shangwu came up with an idea.  In order to be able to learn the art of musketry from the Song Empire and have a powerful army that he could control, the little fat man asked Eunuch Xue to tell Zhao Hongyu that as long as he met his request.  Then he can sign a musket trade contract with Zhao Hongyu.

    Thinking about it, the little fat man is not very stupid. He also sees that Zhao Hongyu and other Americans from the Song Dynasty also have a strong desire for money.  That's why I took this as a condition.

    It¡¯s just that little fat Zhu Shangwu ignored one thing, that is, he now owes Zhao Hongyu a lot of money.

    Not to mention the previous loan of five million taels of silver, there is still a payment of seven million taels of silver for 100,000 hand grenades that has not been paid.

    "That's good. Now he wants to buy another 50,000 muskets. I really don't know where he got such courage.

    Only Eunuch Xue secretly complained in his heart after hearing what Zhao Hongyu said.

    His Majesty asked him to buy muskets, but he forgot that he still owed them a large sum of money.

    Now that the money is not given to anyone, how can theyHow can you sell yourself a musket?

    Eunuch Xue is a little worried now.

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince, can we discuss this matter?"

    Finally, Eunuch Xue gritted his teeth and decided to put his old face aside.

    ¡°After all, we are doing something for the emperor. If this matter cannot be done, he, Eunuch Xue, will also be in trouble.

    Compared with these, face is nothing.

    Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu did not continue to embarrass Eunuch Xue, and Zhao Hongyu felt that there was no benefit in embarrassing an old eunuch.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu smiled and said: "This matter is not without discussion, but your emperor does owe too much, and I have to go back and explain it. This is not a small amount of money, it has already reached tens of millions.  Two already."

    As Zhao Hongyu spoke, Eunuch Xue couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

    "Yes, yes, yes, you are right."

    "Well, you go back to the palace and reply, and see if you can get some kind of mortgage. As long as there is a mortgage, then I can continue to sell you the arms debt. As for this mortgage, the land can be sold to you.  , it can also be some other things, in short, as long as the value can offset the debt."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    It can still be like this.

    Eunuch Xue was stunned when he heard this.

    However, Eunuch Xue was relieved immediately.

    Yes, that Huang Taiji from America is right.

    People¡¯s money is not brought by strong winds, but is accumulated little by little.

    Why should someone give you credit?

    ??Besides, even if people in the private sector borrow money from each other, or they really don't have enough money to borrow something on credit, they still need some collateral.

    ¡°Now that the emperor owes me more than ten million taels of silver, it is not okay for me to propose such a condition.

    To be fair, Eunuch Xue did not think that Zhao Hongyu was deliberately making things difficult.

    More than ten million taels of silver is not a small number.

    You know, how much money does Zhu Shangwu's Ming Dynasty collect in taxes throughout the year?

    It¡¯s just over three million taels of silver.

    The more than three million taels of silver are only on paper, and it is estimated that only half of them can be transported to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    But it¡¯s just half of the tax money.  As long as it is transported to the Ministry of Household Affairs and handed over, the money will be taken away by officials under various names in a short period of time.

    Of course, a small part of the money will also be used for business.

    ??For example, military pay in arrears, and disaster relief in disaster-stricken areas.

    It can be said that Zhu Shangwu¡¯s Ming Dynasty had no surplus food at all.

    Now I owe so much money, who knows how many years it will take to pay it back.

    On the surface, it seems that it only takes four or five years to pay it off.

    But that¡¯s just a reference.

    It¡¯s impossible to count.

    Zhu Shangwu didn¡¯t know the real situation at all.

    No one dared to talk to him about this matter.

    After all, the boss owns an empire.  It's nothing now. What do you want Zhu Shangwu to think?

    Of course, the main reason is that the officials are too corrupt, otherwise the Ming court would not be so poor.

    Thinking about it, the crown prince of America may have heard some rumors from outside.

    In order to prevent the money from going down the drain and becoming a meat bun to beat a dog, it is reasonable for people to ask for some mortgage now.

    And some of the things that others have proposed may not be impossible by then.

    Use land as collateral.  When the time comes, the money will still belong to the Ming Dynasty.

    ????????????? And these Song people were in America, far away from the Ming Dynasty.

    It is impossible for them to send troops or truly take charge of these lands.

    It¡¯s not the management of the Ming Dynasty.

    hey-hey!

    ¡°You really don¡¯t have to say anything, there is a way to do this.

    Eunuch Xue quickly went through Zhao Hongyu's proposal in his mind, and immediately thought of many things.

    "Sure. As for the Crown Prince's words, I, Old Xue, am relieved. I was worried that the Crown Prince would refuse him outright. After all, our family also knows that it is really difficult to talk about this matter."

    Zhao Hongyu responded with a smile: "Brother Xue is also on errands. It's not for myself, why should I embarrass you. So I don't have to worry."?Whatever, don't worry.  "

    ?????????????????????????????????: Private chat.  Zhao Hongyu spoke a little casually, which was very to Eunuch Xue's liking.

    No matter who you meet in the palace, you should speak in a polite manner, and you should think twice before saying anything.

    Because if a bad person says something wrong, it will be doomed.

    You know, the people and things in the palace are very, very complicated.

    Only by talking to Zhao Hongyu here can you not have to think so much, which makes people very relaxed.

    It is very rare to feel relaxed like this.

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince" Eunuch Xue cupped his hand, but before he could speak, Zhao Hongyu took over the topic: "I am too unconventional to learn from you. If you don't mind, just call me brother. Don't care about me.  As long as our relationships are equal, it¡¯s ok. Without all the red tape, I feel a little more relaxed.¡±

    "Isn't this not good?"

    Eunuch Xue muttered.

    "It's nothing, it's just like this in the Song Dynasty." Zhao Hongyu waved his hand nonchalantly.

    Seeing Zhao Hongyu say this, Eunuch Xue had no choice but to nod.

    "Just now, His Highness said that it is okay to use land as a mortgage. I wonder if this can be done?"

    Eunuch Xue decided to confirm this matter.

    Because he felt that if he wanted that collateral, the only thing he could get was land.

    Otherwise, what else would be worth more than ten million taels of silver?

    But before that, he needs to confirm whether it is really possible.

    As long as this is confirmed, it will be easy for him to tell Zhu Shangwu when he returns to the palace (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
