"Of course, if Kim Tae-eun, the envoy of the Goguryeo mission, is sincere, there is no harm in selling it for a few percent more."
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he added another sentence.
Song Yu and the others were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other with strange expressions, or stroked their beards, or nodded with furrowed brows.
Song Yu, Wei Yong and other important ministers who have been in the temple for decades, none of them are old foxes who have matured with age.
After thinking for a moment, they understood the meaning of Liu Mingzhi's words.
If you are sincere, there is no harm in selling it for a few percent more.
So what is the best way to be sincere?
Uh-huh, tacit understanding, tacit understanding.
Song Yu let go of the beard in his hand and quickly followed Mr. Liu.
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean.
There is just a small problem, I hope your Majesty can set a limit for me in advance."
Liu Mingzhi immediately understood what his uncle Song Yu wanted to ask. The swinging folding fan in his hand paused slightly and he frowned slightly as he pondered.
After a while, Liu Mingzhi glanced at Song Yu next to him and said softly: "Sixty percent or seventy percent is fine, but no more than seventy-and-a-half percent at most."
"Yes, I understand."
"My lords, sir."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately gathered towards Liu Mingzhi.
"I'm waiting here."
"It's not just the mission of Goguryeo, but also the missions of Baekje, Siam, Annan... and other countries.
If they also want to buy sophisticated weapons and equipment from our dragon, they will also have to sell them.
There is no reason to turn people away when it comes to door-to-door business.
The imperial treasury is already abundant now, but there is such a thing as silver.
After all, the more the merrier!”
"Yes, I obey."
"That's all for now. As for how to contact the Goguryeo delegation, I'll leave it to Song Aiqing and Wang Aiqing."
"Old minister, I obey."
"King Wu Yi, Mr. Xia, Wei Aiqing, and Tong Aiqing, when you should help make plans, remember to help Song Aiqing and the others.
As the saying goes, one person is short-term and two people are long-term.
If you want to eat meat, how can you do it without putting in some effort?"
"I understand, I will obey your orders."
Liu Mingzhi looked at everyone's smiles and looked at his uncle Song Yu with a chuckle.
"Song Aiqing."
"The old minister is here."
"How long will it take for those troops to be transferred from various prefectures in the capital to the capital?"
"Replying to your Majesty, I have received replies from officials from various state governments yesterday morning, and a lot of military equipment is now on its way to the capital.
The old minister made an estimate, and the earliest is three days, and the latest is no more than ten days."
Liu Mingzhidan smiled and nodded, then turned his attention to Yang Tao, Minister of Industry.
"Ministry of Industry."
"The old minister is here."
"After the soldiers arrive in Beijing, the rest will be left to your Ministry of Industry Office."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Two days ago, the old minister had already ordered many of his colleagues to mobilize craftsmen."
"Okay, now I feel relieved.
By the way, there is one more thing you should remember."
"His Majesty?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the confused expressions of everyone, and silently closed the jade fan in his hand, with a sharp look in his eyes.
"When you eat meat, don't forget to give the other lovers a sip of soup."
Song Yu and the others looked slightly startled, but they reacted instantly.
"I understand, I understand."
Liu Mingzhi replied with a nasal sound that was neither gentle nor serious, changed direction and continued to move forward.
"Just understand. You should all know my temper. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"I don't dare."
"While troops are being transferred from various prefectures in the Gyeonggi Province to the capital, you can go to Honglu Temple to walk around more, and keep in touch with envoys from various countries' missions.
The conversation got so exciting that we invited them to taste our Dalong's delicacies in restaurants and teahouses. We also went to places like Tianxiang Pavilion and Zuichun Pavilion to appreciate our Dalong's poems, calligraphy and painting, and the sound of silk and bamboo.
These are all okay. Wherever you go is your freedom. I will never interfere.
How many meals you can save for your family and how much private money you can save depends on your own abilities."
"Gudu."
"uh-huh."
"Hmph, cough, cough, cough."
"Your Majesty, this, this is not good."
"Yes, yes, I am a person of high status. How can I hang out with barbarians?"
"That's right, that's right, it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, it's beneath your status."
Liu Mingzhi listened to the people behind him who were clearly excited, but still pretending to be serious, and he hummed a few times with a playful expression.
"Hehehe, that's right, I was negligent.
In this case, you can just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”
"Your Majesty, don't... huh huh!
Your Majesty, it is understandable that other colleagues are unable to communicate emotionally with envoys from various missions due to their own official duties.
However, as the minister of Honglu Temple, I should pay more attention to the envoys staying in Honglu Temple. This is my official duty.
Please rest assured, Your Majesty, in order to allow the envoys from the missions of various countries to feel the prosperous mountains and rivers of our Dalong Dynasty and see the essence of our Dalong culture.
The veteran will definitely spare no effort."
As soon as Wang Hezheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, finished speaking, Song Yu and Du Chenghao all stared at him.
"Damn it, Wang Laogou, you are so fucking shameless."
"My mother, you thief, you are so stupid that you want to eat alone."
"Old thief Wang, you will not end well."
"Wang, do you want to fucking listen to what you are saying?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, it must be very hard for Mr. Wang to take care of so many missions by himself.
I have been an official in the imperial court for so many years and have already become brothers and sisters. How can I just watch him suffer mentally and physically because of official duties?
The veteran is willing to share some of the burden for Lord Wang to demonstrate the principle of mutual help among the officials of our Dalong court."
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
"Du Shangshu's words are simply thunderous and thought-provoking. The old minister is too selfish.
The veteran is also willing to share some of the pressure for Lord Wang."
"I second the proposal."
