Two million taels of silver, no more, no less. Afterwards, Li Zhuo thanked the prince profusely, saying that he was grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince for taking care of North Korea. My daughter of North Korea will always remember the kindness of the Ming Dynasty.
This is true.
After all, Zhu Jianji could blackmail him about North Korea's steel sales and let North Korea easily take the money.
In other words, Zhu Jianji can clearly be snatched.
But I still gave him a set of artifacts of light.
Very kind.
Of course, Zhu Jianji didn't think he was being kind.
He was even a little embarrassed.
After all, I haven't mastered the art of thick black yet. You have to know that two million taels of silver, according to the purchasing power of future generations, is about 1.2 billion. It's just a set of small power generation equipment.
The cost is less than 10,000 taels.
In the end, I dared to sell it to North Korea for 1.2 billion. This is not a money grab.
North Korea is also poor.
For Li Zhuang, these two million taels are a large financial expenditure, but there is nothing that can be done. Who told North Korea to do something wrong? How dare you sell strategic materials such as steel to the Jurchens?
Don't you think you can die quickly enough?
As soon as the court meeting ended the next day, Zhu Qiyu took Shu Liang and ran to the East Palace without saying anything.
With a sullen face.
By the way, I also called the Jinyiwei commander Liu Jing together.
At first glance, he wanted to talk to Zhu Jianji and said - the prince did not come to attend the court meeting today.
outrageous.
It's so outrageous.
As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he has not participated in court meetings for many years and always wants to hide in the emperor's favor and live his life. What do you want the courtiers to think? If things go on like this, will they think of changing the crown prince?
King Fu Zhu Jianjin is still ten years old.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu must give his son a good message today, letting him know that the emperor is angry and the situation is very serious.
Finally, I ran to the East Palace and saw that my son was accompanying the crown princess.
The chess piece, Queen Hang, and the queen mother, Queen Mother Wu, were both there.
The two harem masters came early in the morning.
The mouth of Baili Palace is open!
It is estimated that today, the second generation prince of the old Zhu family will be born.
The entire East Palace was filled with joy.
The atmosphere was also tense.
Everyone is still afraid, after all, giving birth to a child these days is indeed a high-risk matter, so Bai Gui's wife, Ruan Shi, the first-class wife of the Ming Dynasty, was also announced to the palace early in the morning.
With Mr. Ruan accompanying him, Bai Li could relax a little more.
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart. With such a huge crowd in the East Palace, he only dared to yell at his son, and it would be fine if his mother, the Empress Dowager Wu, did not give him a look.
As for giving face to my wife Hang Yan...
Zhu Qiyu couldn't do it either.
Over the years, he has been so indulgent in women's sex, and his wife has not said anything about it, managing the harem with great care. No matter how thick-skinned Zhu Qiyu is, he will still be polite to Hang Yan.
As for his daughter-in-law Bai Li... let alone giving birth now, Zhu Qiyu is also very good to her on weekdays.
There is a saying that Lao Zhu's family is extremely satisfied with Bai Li, their daughter-in-law.
Calling Zhu Jianji to the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "Why did you let Li Zhu let North Korea go for two million taels? They sold a lot of steel to the Jurchens."
Zhu Jianji was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little hopeful.
Hearing this, he said absently: "North Korea did something wrong when it came to selling steel, but it was nothing. They didn't sell much, and the Jurchens almost spent all their money to buy steel, but they used the steel to build the Dongfeng Rifle."
, it is simply embarrassing and useless. When the time comes we conquer the Jurchens and come to the Jingtai Liting Court, the Jurchen Dongfeng rifles will become our trophies. We will collect them and resmelt them. This is another huge resource, not to mention the acquisition of North Korea in vain.
Two million taels, no matter how you look at it, we all made a profit."
Suddenly he was shocked, "These two million taels are the result of the Royal Electric Power Company of the Ming Dynasty selling a set of artifacts of light to North Korea. It will go into the account of the power company. Don't imagine that I will fill the national treasury with it."
Zhu Qiyu glared, "You are also the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, so you can't contribute anything to the country!"
Zhu Jianji shook his head, "I have given less?!"
Zhu Qiyu was choked to the point of being speechless.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Look at you. Although you won't go to the court today because Bai Li is about to give birth, you should at least let me know. Besides, you are going to be a crown prince soon. Please wear some clothes." You're all crotchless, and you don't look like a prince at all - you will have to attend court meetings every day from now on."
Zhu Jianji said disdainfully, "Lao Zhu, are you tired? We, father and son, are still playing this trick. Is it useful? I know what you mean. Don't worry. How can I miss you to work in the Qing Palace and wait for Bai Lisheng?" Okay, after these few days of busy work, I will ask the Royal Electric Power Company to come to Qianqing Palace to operate and arrange the power generation system for you."
Qianqing Hall must be installed.
After all, this power generation system is going to be sold to the powerful and wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty. In Kunning Palace and Shoukang Palace, foreign ministers cannot see it, and there are not many ministers coming from the East Palace.
The publicity effect cannot be achieved.
But the Qianqing Palace is different. Almost all the important officials in the court have to go to the Qianqing Palace. After making their appearance, they first buy nine sets according to Jiuqing's level.
Things are rare and valuable.
Start with nine sets to ensure that owning the artifact of light is a status symbol, and then slowly spread it to third- and fourth-grade officials. In the end, anyone with money can operate it.
According to Zhu Jianji's budget, the artifact of light must be sold for at least 20 million taels.
The powerful and wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty had this capital.
Dai Yi suddenly ran over in a hurry, shouting all the way, "Your Highness, I'm pregnant, Your Highness, I'm pregnant, Your Highness—"
Zhu Jianji was overjoyed when he heard this.
He stood up in a hurry, walked to the door of Wenhua Palace, and shouted to Dai Yi with a hooded face: "What nonsense are you talking about? How did you give birth to me? It was the princess who gave birth to me. Please be more careful in the future."
Dai Yi looked at the smile on His Highness the Crown Prince's face, how could he be afraid?
He smiled and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty and Your Highness, the Crown Princess has given birth. Mother and child are safe!"
Zhu Jianji's eyes suddenly lit up.
For him, having a son or a daughter is the same, but it is best to have a son, especially a son for the first time. On the one hand, it ensures that Crown Princess Bai Li's status in the palace is not threatened. On the other hand, the eldest son is the future of the Ming Dynasty. There will be no serious competition for the crown prince in the future.
Moreover, since the eldest son is a prince, with a stable status, he can take better care of his brothers and sisters.
This is the most perfect state of a national leadership group.
Zhu Qiyu also let out a sigh of relief.
Stable!
Now that the son has an imperial grandson, no matter what happens in the future, the younger son Zhu Jianjin will not be able to threaten his son's throne, and Zhu Jianjin will be his vassal king.
In my own lineage, there will be no tragedy of fratricide due to the throne.
He kicked Zhu Jianji on the butt and said, "You little bastard, you can do it!"
Zhu Jianji laughed loudly, "That's right, you don't even know who I am."
Shu Liang said to Shu Liang at the door: "Go and inform the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment that I am happy to have a young son. I will pass on His Majesty's decree and we will celebrate together. We will suspend the court for three days and grant amnesty to the whole world to enjoy the blessing of the country!"
