    ps: I have to take a day off today, so I can only update once.

    I want to take my daughter to the hospital for treatment of hemangioma. When I made the appointment, the doctor informed me that the number 200 was already in the queue, so I calculated the time and it is impossible to have the second update time today, so I would like to explain it here, and also ask the parents of food and clothing.  Please forgive me¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    "That Crown Prince from the Song Dynasty really said that?" "He said that as long as we take out valuable mortgages, we can supply 50,000 fire guns?"

    After Eunuch Xue got the exact answer from Zhao Hongyu, he quickly returned to the palace and reported the condition proposed by Zhao Hongyu to Zhu Shangwu.

    And Zhu Shangwu was indeed shocked when he learned about the conditions proposed by Zhao Hongyu from Eunuch Xue.  But Zhu Shangwu soon breathed a sigh of relief. After all, what he was most worried about was Zhao Hongyu's disapproval.

    Now, as long as you take out the mortgage, everything will be fine.

    It¡¯s just some small mortgage, it¡¯s nothing big.

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

    "Did the crown prince say what he needs us to use as collateral?" Zhu Shangwu asked.

    In fact, Zhu Shangwu himself knew that Zhao Hongyu was already pretty good.  The amount of money he now owes has exceeded the 10 million mark.

    This is not a small amount.

    This is Zhao Hongyu. If he were a businessman from the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible to lend so much money to the court.

    Although it is a bit troublesome to pay back so much money, Zhu Shangwu thinks he can afford it.

    ¡°After all, haven¡¯t I already signed an agreement with the crown prince from America to buy and sell people?

    There isn¡¯t much else about Daming, it¡¯s just that it has a large population.

    As long as there is someone, then I will definitely be able to pay off the debt.

    It was because he had the confidence to repay the money that Zhu Shangwu continued to pile up debts with Zhao Hongyu.

    "Your Majesty. Fifty thousand fire guns is not a small number. The price given by the crown prince was one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Although it is cheaper than making it ourselves, fifty thousand guns still cost millions of taels.  Money. So what the crown prince means is, let¡¯s see if we can use a piece of land from Ming Dynasty as a mortgage? "

    Eunuch Xue said the price offered by Zhao Hongyu while observing Zhu Shangwu's expression.

    Zhu Shangwu showed no excited reaction when he arrived, which made Eunuch Xue breathe a sigh of relief.

    "Use the land of Ming Dynasty?"  Hearing this, Zhu Shangwu looked at Eunuch Xue, and Eunuch Xue nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, that's what the Crown Prince said. And. He also said that it would be better if it was a city, because he could use the interest  Collect local taxes."

    Zhu Shangwu pondered for a moment, and he felt that Zhao Hongyu's proposal was still very tempting to him.

    ¡°After all, I owe so much money, and the interest is also a lot.

    If you can mortgage a city to Zhao Hongyu, there is nothing wrong with reducing some interest.

    Anyway, the amount of taxes the court can collect every year is pitifully small.

    But, which piece of land and city should be used as mortgage?

    This matter needs to be carefully considered.

    Those places where generous taxes can be collected, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, are not allowed. Zhu Shangwu is not such an idiot.

    So, we can only choose some barren places for mortgage.

    But this encountered another problem.  That is to choose a barren place as a mortgage, but I don¡¯t know if Huang Taiji agrees or not?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I am still busy working blindly.

    "I'm not a fool, so I don't think I don't understand this point.

    "I think his proposal is feasible. But there are some problems here, that is, where should we use the land as collateral?"

    Zhu Shangwu asked.

    In fact, in just a short moment, Zhu Shangwu had already thought clearly.

    Using a city and land as a mortgage is actually nothing.

    As long as you pay off the debt later.  Then the land and city are not your own?

    What's more, the land and cities are within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If they are used as mortgages, they cannot really become Song people.

    This is simply impossible.

    Think about it.  The crown prince from America also knew this.

    And the reason why heMaking such a condition is nothing more than seeing that the money you owe is getting more and more, and you may have no confidence in your heart.

    He was afraid that if something happened to him, wouldn't he lose all his money?

    Therefore, this condition was put forward.

    Zhu Shangwu thought about it from Zhao Hongyu¡¯s perspective, so he understood Zhao Hongyu very well.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know, in fact, it is not what he imagined at all.

    Zhao Hongyu proposed this condition just on a whim, not because he was afraid of losing everything.

    What Zhu Shangwu thought was a large amount of silver owed was actually just a little industrial silver to Zhao Hongyu.

    He just felt that if he supported Daming so much and didn't get some benefits for himself, wouldn't he become a living Lei Feng?

    ¡°Besides, I have to consider the opinions of the genetic people around me.

    ¡° Moreover, he is the master of the Song Empire after all, and he often has to consider his own capital.  It is impossible to always support Ming Dynasty unconditionally.

    ¡°If he really does this, he will have no way of explaining it to the people in his own country.

    Although we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, after all, one is in the East and the other is in the American continent. The interests of both sides are different.

    As for Zhao Hongyu, he had to consider this seriously and carefully.

    Zhu Shangwu squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, and then he asked Eunuch Xue: "Tell me, which city and land should we use as mortgage?"

    When asked by Zhu Shangwu, Eunuch Xue suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

    This is not something that a eunuch like him can interrupt.

    ¡°But Zhu Shangwu asked here, and he had to respond.

    After thinking about it, Eunuch Xue had no choice but to make a grimace and said to Zhu Shangwu: "Your Majesty, such important matters are not something that a slave can talk about. Please ask the Emperor for your judgment."

    Zhu Shangwu waved his hand after hearing this and said to Eunuch Xue nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry so much. Since I asked you, you should think about it carefully. If what you said is wrong, I won't blame you.  , after all, one person can think short and two people can make mistakes."

    ?????????????????????????????????? Zhu Shangwu¡¯s words have come to this point, if you still know how to praise him, then it¡¯s very inappropriate.

    So, Eunuch Xue thought for a while and said to himself: I'm sorry, although you are good to me, old Xue, but this is a big issue of right and wrong, and I can only stand on the side of His Highness.

    Later, Eunuch Xue said to Zhu Shangwu: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty's tax-rich land cannot be given to us. If it is used as a mortgage, what will we do in the future? Anyway, the crown prince did not say that he wanted the land and city in that place, but there is a  A mortgage will do, so why don¡¯t we think about it. Of course, it won¡¯t work in a place that is too barren, as that will make us look too tasteless.¡±

    Listening to Eunuch Xue¡¯s analysis, Zhu Shangwu couldn¡¯t help but nod.

    "You are right. Our Ming Dynasty cannot do such embarrassing things. It is precisely because of this that I am in trouble. Wealthy places cannot be used as mortgages. Barren places cannot be used as well. At the same time, important garrison towns cannot be used as collateral.  It didn¡¯t work, so I was very embarrassed.¡±

    Zhu Shangwu raised his hand and patted his forehead, looking very distressed.

    But Eunuch Xue¡¯s eyes lit up when he arrived.  It seems that he has thought of a way.

    "Your Majesty, Liaodong is in ruins now. Would you like to choose a city and land in Liaodong to use as mortgage? Moreover, I see that the Song Dynasty has a strong military. If they are allowed to stay there, they may be able to withstand the rear.  Not necessarily Jin Dajun.¡±

    "After all, if the collateral is lost from their hands, we can still make them pay us a large sum of money. If they can fight against the Houjin people, it will be a great help to us. And now the various towns and armies in Liaodong  The generals are afraid of death and dare not fight Houhoujin. We can also use our hands to deal with them, but this requires the situation in Liaodong to stabilize."

    After Eunuch Xue made this suggestion, Zhu Shangwu widened his eyes.

    "You mean, kill two birds with one stone!"

    Zhu Shang¡¯s suggestion from General Xue went through his mind quickly.

    In the end, he felt that this was definitely feasible.

    "But, do you think the crown prince can agree? I think with his intelligence, he shouldn't be able to see that this is a trap set by us." But Zhu Shangwu immediately thought of something else, and he was in a good mood.  Disappeared in an instant.

    Yes, Zhao Hongyu is not a fool. How could he not see such an obvious trap?

    And?It would be too conspicuous if I did this.

    Only a fool cannot see his own intentions.

    So, Zhu Shangwu felt that his face was burning and he was panicking.

    Eunuch Xue said: "Your Majesty, let's just tell him clearly. As long as he agrees, everything will be easy to handle. If he doesn't agree, we can just think of a way. After all, this matter cannot be settled right away."

    Hearing this, Zhu Shangwu thought for a while and nodded silently.

    "Well, I'll go and reply now."¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    "You mean, let me choose a city in Liaodong?"

    When Eunuch Xue stood in front of Zhao Hongyu again and said what Zhu Shangwu meant, Zhao Hongyu immediately understood the other party's plan.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu thought to himself: Unexpectedly, Zhu Shangwu¡¯s little abacus also made a crackling sound.  But there seems to be nothing wrong with Liaodong. It is a dangerous place for others, but it is different for me.

    "Yes, what the emperor means is that you can choose a city in Liaodong to be used as a mortgage. At the same time, after selecting it, we will allocate the city and the surrounding land as a mortgage for the debt. During the mortgage period,  This city and land will be managed by your highness, and the taxes will be treated as interest"

    ¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t expect that Zhu Shangwu, the little fat guy, was smart for once.

    This is simply using me as a shield.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, I like it.

    Seeing Zhao Hongyu fell silent, Eunuch Xue suddenly became a little nervous.

    However, Zhao Hongyu quickly showed a smile and said something to Eunuch Xue that surprised and a little bit he couldn't believe.

    "Okay, let's go to Liaodong, but I have to trouble you to bring me a map so I can choose one." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
