Chapter 1063 Zhu Yijun's Fancy Gift of Marriage
The issuance of the "Dian War Treasure Banknote" has been confirmed, but things are not that simple. The first big problem before us is that the imperial court's treasure banknotes have long lost any credibility, even though they are now under the name of special affairs. , I am afraid few people dare to believe it, Zhu Yijun is very worried about this.

Although Gao Yushi had guaranteed the ticket and was willing to let Jinghua cover the bottom line, but Zhu Yijun was moved in his heart, but he was even more unwilling to let Gao Yushi take such a risk.

Yes, Gao Yushi is indeed very rich. The amount of 20 taels, which can even get stuck in the throat of the imperial court under the current situation, may be just the cost of opening two new large mines to Gao Yushi. Not to mention hurting muscles and bones.

But Zhu Yijun still didn't want Gao Yushi to "destroy the family and build the country" by himself - the emperor is not happy to do this, if pragmatically, how much favor would I owe him?
Zhu Yijun didn't doubt that Gao Yushi had ulterior motives, he just pushed himself and others, and felt that Gao Yushi's willingness to do this was nothing more than for the sake of the unique friendship between the two of them.

There are many people in the world who owe money and don't pay back, but even the most shameless scum and scum have a mentality of "the debt of favor has to be repaid", and as the supreme being in the world, Zhu Yijun doesn't want to owe such a debt of favor.

Because he can find a reasonable way to repay the "debt of favor" in other situations, but this kind of disguised borrowing made him feel embarrassed, so he thought hard and came up with several ways that he thought could be repaid. Ways to enhance the reputation of "Dian Zhan Treasure Banknotes".

It's a pity that they were all refuted by Gao Yushi in a few words. In the end, Gao Yushi proposed a solution: Jinghua Bank, which was established not long ago, will act as the agent issuer of the "Dian Zhan Treasure Banknote", and Jinghua Bank itself will bear the risk of preserving the value of the banknote. .

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he felt that it was superfluous. Compared with the previous statement, it was nothing more than a change of medicine, and there was no practical difference at all.

However, Gao Wushi put forward a new "condition": if Jinghua Bank accepts this order of business, it will charge a service fee of "5.00%" for war rights, that is, [-]%.

Zhu Yijun was slightly taken aback, feeling that this seemed to be different from before, at least it was no longer a "debt of favor", but a real business.

He became a little interested and asked: "The war rights you mentioned... mean the Burmese 'year-old currency' we expected?"

"If Burma is willing to pay all war compensation with silver in the future, then as the emperor said, Jinghua's income will be one hundred and fifty of the 'year-old coin'." Gao Wushi said seriously: "But...my minister can't afford that much Most of the cash will be offset with other things, which is a bit particular, and may require Jinghua to send a special person to discuss with the household department."

Zhu Yijun was surprised and said: "Why is that? You... I mean Jinghua, why don't you just take one hundred and five?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "Jinghua may not need those things, and it may be troublesome to resell them, because some things may not be operated by Jinghua. If they also get [-], Jinghua will still have discounts in the process of logistics, sales, etc. loss, so this is something to talk about."

"Oh..." Zhu Yijun understood, and said, "That is to say, if the collection is not silver, but other goods, Jinghua should increase the ratio?"

Who knows that Gao Yushi still shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily an increase in the ratio. My personal attitude is that it is best to limit the supplies—for example, the Burmese side took more than a dozen kinds of products to offset the debt, and Jinghua only picked one or two of them. Three, but the total discount is still based on the ratio of one hundred and five."

"I see." After all, Zhu Yijun is not a business person, after hearing this, he actually found it quite reasonable, nodded and asked, "What do you want?"

Gao Wushi thought for a while and said, "Teak and gold."

Although the word gold made Zhu Yijun a little greedy, but looking back, how much gold can Myanmar have?So he quickly frowned, nodded and said: "Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter with the Ministry of Accounts, I will promise you now-what does the matter of Baochao have to do with the Ministry of Accounts?"

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "It has nothing to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Zhu Yijun said slightly proudly: "Naturally it doesn't matter! Since there is such a way to raise money, I will of course let the internal money be responsible, and then I can use the internal money when disbursing Yunnan - what's the matter with the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Gao Wushi was just beginning to figure out how much difference there is between the account of the internal funds and the account of the account department. Zhu Yijun had already explained: "Pragmatic, although you have a good relationship with Da Sinong, I have to say something: The money allocated by the front line can save a lot of money if it is sent from the internal funds compared to the household department. If 20 taels of silver are sent to Yunnan from the internal funds, there should be [-] to [-] yuan left. If it is shipped from the household department, at most [-] to [-] yuan , there is a difference of [-] to [-] at least."

Uh... Well, civil servants are indeed more ruthless than eunuchs in "floating and disappearing".

Seeing that Gao Yushi nodded in response, Zhu Yijun became happy, got up without the style of an emperor, patted Gao Yushi on the shoulder, and said: "Soldiers, reinforcements, and food, you have these three strategies, even if you can get it. I feel more at ease now. Now I can only wait and see the performance of Liu Ting and Deng Zilong, I hope they will not let me down."

Before Gao Wushi could answer, Zhu Yijun continued: "Speaking of these two people, Liu Chen is too young and Deng Zilong is too old. If you hadn't persuaded me to transfer them, I would really like to transfer them to you. The two have been changed, and a few of the old ones will be transferred."

This is not nonsense. Liu Ting is 25 years old this year, and he is indeed considered young among generals at the general level; Deng Zilong is 55 years old, and he is indeed a bit too old.

However, under such difficult conditions in the original history, both of them can win the battle. Of course, Gao Yushi does not believe that they will lose under the current situation of the three strategies.

However, Gao Yushi is a civil servant after all, and he has never personally commanded these two civil servants in battle. At the age of one year, he cut down generals and seized the flag, and I think it is worth cultivating; Deng Zilong, who has been a veteran general for many years, has fought against Japanese pirates and suppressed bandits, and has made great achievements in battle, so he is also a useful person."

Zhu Yijun nodded silently, and said: "There is no doubt about employing people, and I understand the truth. Besides, now that the battle is approaching, I will not change generals in front of the battle. What I said just now is just to tell you in private, you don't want to spread it. "

Gao Wushi smiled and nodded in agreement.

The two were silent for a while, and Zhu Yijun asked again: "Did Annan's Deputy Envoy Huang come back to Beijing with you?"

Gao Wushi nodded and said, "Here we are, it should be in the Annan Guild Hall right now."

Zhu Yijun showed a playful smile, and asked: "You have always been a master of planning, but this time you can guess what I mean by letting her go back to Beijing with you?"

Gao Wushi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This... Excuse me for being stupid."

Zhu Yijun laughed, clapped his hands and said, "I never thought you, Gao Longwen, would be 'dumb'?"

Gao Wushi originally thought that Zhu Yijun would go straight to the topic after teasing him, but he made a miscalculation this time, Zhu Yijun sat down Shi Shiran, raised his legs in an unruly manner, and asked, "I'm curious about one thing. "

Gao Wushi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Deputy Envoy Huang was born as a chieftain, and now she is in charge in Annan, but she is still a woman who has not left the cabinet after all. You are not worried about traveling so far north and south?"

Gao Wushi said: "Naturally there are some worries, but..."

However, the girls of later generations have to travel a lot. Girls from Guangxi are admitted to universities in Beijing. Don’t they have to travel too?What's more, Huang Zhiting, as a guardian envoy of one side, always had elite wolf soldiers by her side. Even if she went north by boat, it was the best ship that Jinghua had mobilized, and it was only going along the coastal route, so there was no problem with safety.

So... there seems to be nothing to worry about, right?

But it was obviously difficult to say clearly, so Gao Wushi stopped.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun would have the wrong idea. He only thought that the reason why Gao Wushi kept silent was "the situation is limited and he has no choice", so he smiled and said: "The thing you told me before, um... It's not that I can't do such a thing as bestowing a marriage, but there must be a reason, when she came to see her, I thought about it and couldn't think of a reason, so I had to press it first."

Gao Wushi's heart moved, and he coughed lightly: "Then now the emperor brings up the old matter again..."

Zhu Yijun chuckled, and said, "I do have an idea, but there are still two troubles in this matter, and even one of them is quite dangerous, and you need to decide it yourself."

Gao Wushi took a deep breath and asked, "I understand, please show me your Majesty."

Seeing this, Zhu Yijun also put away his teasing expression, and said seriously: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have always treated respectful, loyal and brave chieftains favorably, and this kind of favor sometimes even reaches the point where it can break the norm, you should know that. "

Gao Yushi nodded, there is no doubt about it, and it is even a unique feature of the Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yijun continued: "This point is worth taking advantage of - you know, considering your background and current status, even if I am an emperor, it is difficult to find any suitable reason to marry Miss Huang to you at ordinary times. You, the inexplicable forced marriage will only make the outside world suspect, and some people may even think that I am humiliating you, which is really not what I want."

Gao Wushi focused his eyes and asked, "What kind of opportunity does the emperor want? Is it for the minister to make great contributions and then make a public request to the emperor?"

Zhu Yijun laughed: "How come your clever calculations don't work when it's about Miss Huang? It's interesting, interesting."

Gao Wushi's expression froze, and he said with a dry smile, "Your guess is wrong?"

"Wrong, wrong." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "You are going the wrong way this time."

Gao Wushi scratched his head in a rare way, and asked, "How do you say that?"

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "The problem between you has never been that you don't have enough credit, on the contrary, it's that Miss Huang's credit is not enough-although it's a bit awkward to use this to describe a girl, but how should I put it... ...It makes sense to treat her as a chieftain."

Gao Wushi frowned: "Didn't the emperor say that Miss Huang should make a great contribution and then give her a 'reward' from the minister? Is this... more awkward?"

Zhu Yijun patted the table and fell down laughing, and it took a long time before he stopped laughing under Gao Pragmatic's strange eyes, coughed hard, and said: "Didn't I just say that your previous thinking was 'the opposite is the opposite'—what? What do you mean? To put it simply, you cannot propose to marry Ms. Huang, but Ms. Huang must propose to marry you."

Gao Yushi frowned deeper, and asked, "Why?"

Zhu Yijun sighed: "Think about it, logically speaking, your Gao family's family status is much higher than her Huang's family. Under normal circumstances, if you want to marry her, you just need to find a matchmaker to talk about it. The Huang family may be more anxious than you." Well, Huang Chengzu may wish to let you quickly consummate the house.

But your current problem is also here. You can't ignore the ideas of the people in the clan, especially the ideas of your father, so you asked me to come forward to solve it, so that your father could not object.But as I said just now, if I suddenly grant marriage like this, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

So we have to reverse this way of thinking, let the party with the lowest family status make great contributions first, and I will pretend to be overjoyed when the time comes, and promise this person one thing in public, and then let him propose a marriage... I can't go back on my word, so I have no choice but to 'make the mistake and make the mistake'! "

Eh?
Your majesty, your thinking is quite open!
Gao Wushi couldn't help thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Zhu Yijun didn't rush him, but just looked at him for a while, and then felt that he was too boring, so he picked up the map of the situation in southern Xinjiang that Gao Wushi had drawn before. stand up.

I don't know how long it took before the high-practical voice sounded slowly: "Your Majesty, if this matter is feasible, it should be feasible. But in this way, will Miss Huang's reputation be affected in some way?"

Zhu Yijun has considered this matter for a long time, and he has naturally considered this point. He spread his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, I think it's hard to say."

He put down the situation map, looked at Gao Wushi, and said seriously: "If Miss Huang is a Han woman, this matter will definitely affect her reputation, but she is a child chieftain, and the situation is a little different. The entire court , civil and military officials, the attitude towards the chieftain is obviously different from that of ordinary women. After all, she is even a person who can lead troops to go to war. How can she be treated with ordinary eyes? If this matter is handled properly, I think it may even become a good story. "

Gao Wushi thought for a while and said, "May the emperor allow you to discuss with Miss Huang?"

"Of course, I was just discussing with you." Zhu Yijun waved his hand grandly, and then said: "But I haven't finished what I said just now-contributing merits, this is a prerequisite, only if she makes great contributions, I will This is the best way to create the scene just mentioned."

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said: "Your majesty understands what the emperor means. Right now, the best opportunity for her to make a contribution is to go to Burma, right?"

Zhu Yijun coughed lightly: "Well, actually, after you mentioned sending troops to Burma from Annan just now, I just thought of it temporarily. I originally thought... forget it, let's not mention it."

Gao Wushi let out a foul breath, and thought: It seems that the two troubles he mentioned, one of which is still dangerous, should refer to the matter of leading troops to Burma.As for the other trouble, it must have been that Zhiting offered to give her a marriage. Even if she was a chieftain or a virgin, it would still be embarrassing. If she were an ordinary woman, she would probably choose to "rather die than submit".

However, this is still a way...it's better than being frozen like this.
