Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 317
Facing the hopeful eyes of the princes, Zhu Youjian just shook his head slowly, shattering their hopeless thoughts.

Then he said slowly: "It's impossible to let go of your restrictions. I don't need to say more about the reason. You probably don't want to see such unbearable things."

The look of hope in the eyes of the vassal kings was dimmed, but Zhu Youjian's next sentence rekindled their hope.

"but……"

It's just a but word, but to the kings, if it is the sound of the Nine Heavens Immortal, it makes them tremble all over, which is a refreshing feeling.

I just heard Zhu Youjian continue: "But I'm not unreasonable, it's impossible to blindly exploit the uncle Wangs, so let's relax your restrictions in the Ming Dynasty, which is naturally impossible.

After all, it is the ancestral family law, and I can't violate it, but I give you a choice, the ancestral family law outside the Ming Dynasty can't be controlled, and it's up to you uncles to do it, so I won't repeat it too much. "

Zhu Youjian's meaning is very clear, you don't think about anything in the Ming Dynasty, don't even have a thought, this is the ancestral system.

But if you are doing things outside of Daming, then I can't control you, you can do whatever you like, as long as you don't mess with me, you can do whatever you want.

Except for a few who are really hopeless, the kings can't understand the meaning of Zhu Youjian's words. Although they are calm on the surface, they are already ecstatic in their hearts. They wish they could set off tens of thousands of firecrackers to celebrate now.

Happy to be happy, but they are not stupid, just by themselves, although they are rich, but they have no soldiers and no civilians, so why should they act like a domineering outsider?

So in the end, they still have to rely on the emperor's nephew to help, and they don't believe that this help will be free.

King Qing Zhu Shuai took the lead to stand up, cupped his hands and asked: "Your Majesty, although we have a lot of money, we have no soldiers in our hands. Going out of the country with money is like beating a dog with a meat bun, without any guarantee.

I don't know if His Majesty can send the Yongwei Battalion to guard for the sake of the same family and clan?

It won't take long, just let us get a foothold in the plug. "

Other kings also stood up and echoed;
"That's right, Your Majesty, please also send a battalion of brave guards to guard me for a while, so that I can stay in the fortress."

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

……

Zhu Youjian said with a embarrassed expression when he heard the words: "My uncles also know that my Ming Dynasty has been short of finances in recent years, and the situation on the border is also tense. With the money and some of the wealth I accumulated when I was king, I almost ran out of money to build such an army.

A few days ago, in the battle against Donglu, although the Yongwei Battalion won a big victory, they also lost a lot of money. Replenishment of soldiers and compensation and rewards for the casualties exhausted the already insufficient treasury and our internal funds. Kong, these brave guard battalions are now the last guarantee for the survival of the country, and they cannot be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. They really do not have the ability to support the uncles.

However, I am not cold-blooded and ruthless, how about this, before the kings and uncles leave the fief, there will be a team of soldiers from the brave guard battalion stationed nearby to protect the safety of the kings and uncles until the kings and uncles leave Until the fiefdom.

No matter how much more, I am powerless.

Ugh……"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian shook his head slowly with a sad face, looking helpless and helpless.

And his appearance made the teeth of the kings itch with hatred.

They admit the imperial finances, but you, Zhu Youjian, will be short of money?
Clam?Are you kidding us?

As far as we know, the annual income of the Huangming Chamber of Commerce is several million, and you will be short of money. To build a brave guard camp, you may not even need 100 million taels. You actually said that you have spent all your internal money?

Why is it possible that the entire Yongwei Battalion is made of gold!Then we admit that you don't have enough money.

Now you, a guy who has accumulated money from the family of a vassal prince for many years, actually tells us that he has no money, do you think we believe it or not?

ah!Pooh!Shameless!Shameless especially!
But even if the vassal kings don't believe it, it's okay. Zhu Youjian's intention is to make it clear that he wants benefits. If there is no benefit, he will not send troops to protect you. You will either give money or stay in your own fief all the time.

Moreover, the annual salary will definitely be eliminated next year, and each fief will send a team of garrisons who have just won the battle and are in full swing to protect them.

However, it is called protection, but it is actually a guard.

When the time comes, once they do something else, this stinky and shameless guy will be able to directly cut down the feudal clan nearby. Not only will the benefits be lost, but their family fortune accumulated over several generations will also be returned to the national treasury. ...Wait, it should be this guy's money!
Therefore, even if they are reluctant, the kings can only admit it honestly.

This time it was Tang Wang Tang Wang Zhu Shuoyin who took the lead to stand up.

This old man is more than half of his age, but he still has a beautiful concubine, and he has a special liking for the son born to him by the concubine, and wants to replace his son. This is why the emperor Longwu in different time and space has a miserable childhood and even adolescence life .

Tang Wang Zhu Shuoyu stood up tremblingly, clasped his hands and asked, "I don't know how much money Your Majesty needs from me to be escorted by the Yongwei Battalion?"

Zhu Youjian immediately waved his hands righteously and said: "Where did Uncle Tang say that, am I the kind of person who is greedy for money? Today's Yongweiying is the foundation of the country. How can I easily mobilize it because of a few silver coins?" ?”

All the kings were moved when they heard the words!
You can't easily transfer just because there are a few silver taels in the area, that is to say, if the amount is large enough, you can "cautiously" transfer it!

Figured this out, and the kings didn't delay anymore, Qing Wang Zhu Shuai said directly: "Your Majesty, I don't allow all the brave guards to dispatch 10 taels of people, only a few thousand is enough, and the time will be enough." It is tentatively scheduled to be two years... How about not a year?"

Before Zhu Shuai wanted to use the combat power of the Yongwei Battalion, only a few thousand people were enough for him to gain a foothold in a small piece of territory. Today's Donglu has been severely injured and disabled, the only thing he needs to guard against The only ones are the Tartar tribes, and after a year or two of operation, they can form an army with sufficient numbers for self-defense.

After him, other kings also offered their own prices.

King Qin: "Your Majesty, if I pay 20 taels, I only need [-] brave guards to guard for a year!"

King Jin: "Your Majesty, if I pay 30 taels, I only need [-] soldiers to guard it for a year!"

King Lu: "Your Majesty, this king is the most sincere. I will pay 35 taels! 3000 people, ten months!"

The kings began to involve, the employment price continued to rise, the number of people decreased, and the time changed from the initial year to ten months.

However, Zhu Youjian's expression remained the same, calm as water from the beginning to now, as if he hadn't been distracted by the ever-increasing prices.

until……

"Your Majesty! My Prince Fu's Mansion is willing to spend 50 taels to hire [-] brave soldiers for ten months!"

Outside the hall, a young and powerful young man came striding forward, his heroic voice instantly made Zhu Youjian's eyes light up.

This is the voice of a local tyrant, that's right!
Since King Fu was taken to be a beggar, Zhu Yousong, after careful consideration, decided to represent King Fu's mansion to participate in today's king's discussion. When he came in, he happened to hear the general situation of the matter, and made a decision on behalf of King Fu's mansion.

And now that King Fu was made to be a beggar, as the son of King Fu, he is indeed qualified to make decisions on behalf of his father.

The corners of Zhu Youjian's mouth began to rise slowly, the price finally reached the expected value in his heart, and he was going to... get rich!
