The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 336 Zhu Yuanzhang’s identity is exposed, Mr. Ye makes money and destroys the army, Xu Da and Wang Baobao go out to work!

"Master Ye, please enlighten me!"

In Ye Qing's eyes, Mr. Guo, his wife, and their bodyguard leader Mao Daxia, all looked at him without saying a word, and they had the effect of speaking in unison.

Not only that, Ye Qing also heard a little grinding of teeth.

You don't need to think about it to know that either they are all clenching their molars and talking, or it must be Mr. Guo who is clenching his molars and talking.

Ye Qing didn't blame them for being so ignorant of praise, because he also felt that most people didn't understand the mystery.

You must know that from the perspective of the envoys from the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Japan, they and Ye Qing were collaborating on two different businesses.

Originally, the business of jointly mining and smelting gold and silver minerals, how could it be confused with the business of helping to send troops to fight?

But in Ye Qing's view, this is just a business!

Moreover, it is better to help send troops to fight first, and then cooperate in the business of mining and smelting gold and silver!

Ye Qing just smiled faintly, then crossed his legs and said softly: "Master Guo, Mrs. Guo, brother Mao, please sit down and drink tea."

"Listen as I slowly teach you the secret of this."

The three of them didn't care about Ye Qing's 'no humility and no humility' style. After all, this was already a habit for them.

The three of them sat across from Ye Qing, and the maid also served them a cup of tea very politely.

After Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea, he praised it politely: "Yes, it is indeed better than the tribute tea your Majesty drank."

"When we leave, will you give us a dozen pounds?"

Ye Qing just frowned slightly. This man was really rude. With his shameless appearance, he was indeed the one who got along with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ye Qing smiled lightly and said, "Okay, as long as the business is concluded, what's the point of me giving you ten pounds?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing also took a sip of tea. Before he officially started speaking, he had to moisten his throat first.

After a while, Ye Qing began to teach him under the gaze of the three people.

"As you know, the business that I have negotiated with the Japanese Southern and Northern Dynasties is not just about cooperation in mining and smelting."

"I also promised to send troops to attack each other on their behalf!"

Having said this, Ye Qing asked Shen Wan'er to bring a small blackboard, and then used lime chalk to quickly outline the territory of the Japanese country.

Immediately afterwards, he casually drew an irregular line, and the gesture of writing it was really like swiping a long sword, directly dividing the Japanese country into two!

He wrote the word "Northern Dynasty" where the territory was slightly wider, and then wrote the word "Southern Dynasty" where the territory was slightly narrower.

Finally, he marked everywhere on the territory of the Japanese Kingdom and the Northern and Southern Dynasties!

While marking, Ye Qing explained at the same time: "According to reports from my agents, the largest silver mines in Japan, and with our current technology, the most valuable silver mines are Iwami Ginzan, Zoma Ginzan, and Farewell Yinshan!"

"Zoma Ginzan has a mining history of hundreds of years and played an important role in the commercial development of Japan."

"The silver mine reserves in Zuoma Ginshan are very rich, and it is recognized as the largest silver mine in Japan. However, their technology is too poor and they have not mined much!"

"Biezi Yinshan, except for our agents, no one has discovered it yet!"

"Iwami Ginzan has also been discovered by no one except our agents!"

"."

Ye Qing did not give specific data, because even if he told them, they would not believe it. The specific storage capacity of the Japanese silver mines was nothing more than a fantasy for people of this era.

Anyway, it’s just one sentence, as long as it’s more than they can imagine.

As for the matter of agents investigating, it is completely false!

He just wanted to use such an unverifiable excuse to express these "historical knowledge" in the eyes of modern people.

But he didn't know that his words of 'agent report' made Zhu Yuanzhang feel defensive about him again.

You must know that his Jin Yiwei was inspired by the ‘Yanmen Agent Brigade’ and came into being!

And all the elders of Jinyiwei have suffered losses at the hands of agents!

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this was the fact that the special agent brigade was once again in front of his imperial guards. His imperial guards were spread throughout the territory of the Ming Dynasty and also in some vassal countries.

But no matter how long his hands were, he could not reach the Japanese country on the other side of the sea.

But he never expected that the hand of Jinyiwei's ancestor, the secret agent brigade, would have grown to the land of Japan.

What does this mean?

This means that if he and Ye Qing completely break up in the future, if Ye Qing is no longer the person who does not want his life to plead for the people, but an out-and-out rebel, then in the intelligence station, he Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely Undoubted defeat!

Not only that, he also had to admit that in terms of knowledge and foresight, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was really not as good as Ye Qing.

If he could have imagined that the Japanese country had so much money, he would have let his royal guards sneak into the Japanese country long ago.

Thinking of this, the strong sense of crisis came to Zhu Yuanzhang's head again!

"Master Guo, do you miss my concubine?"

"Don't be stunned, listen carefully and continue to teach me!"

At this moment, Ye Qing noticed Zhu Yuanzhang who was in a daze and quickly reminded him politely.

At this time, I was in a daze. It was like I didn’t have a tutor, I didn’t know how to be polite, and I didn’t know how to respect others at all!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma next to him and said, "What did you say? How could you say that someone else misses a concubine in front of someone else's wife?"

Empress Ma smiled and whispered: "Master, it's okay. I hope you miss my concubine so that I won't be so tired."

As soon as Queen Ma finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up with his head held high.

But at this moment, Mao Xiang next to him and Ye Qing opposite him twitched the corners of their mouths at the same time, and had a sentence in their minds at the same time.

This couple is really in love all the time, making every effort to make people feel full!

Ye Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to teach him: "When I sign an agreement with the Japanese envoys from the Southern and Northern Dynasties at the end of the month, I will propose in the contract that I will first help them attack each other, and then start cooperation in gold and silver mining and smelting."

"In this way, our soldiers can capture and garrison these three mines in a reasonable manner."

"At the same time, I will also request that if the other party also invites foreign aid, we will not be responsible for attacking the foreign aid, but will only be responsible for helping to fight the local soldiers of the North and South Korea."

"In this way, the soldiers we send to help the Northern Dynasty are the local soldiers who attack the Southern Dynasty."

"The soldiers we sent to help the Southern Dynasty were local soldiers who attacked the Northern Dynasty. This fundamentally prevented the situation of our own people attacking our own people."

"On the one hand, we eliminated the Japanese country's local combat power, and on the other hand, we protected their mines!"

"Do you think it is they who have the final say or we who have the final say about the 10% profit I promised them?"

"Whether the 10% profit is a thousand taels of silver or a thousand copper coins, do they have the final say, or do we?"

"Because of this, the 10% profit I promised you is actually 20% profit combined with the 10% profit of the Japanese country!"

"Speaking of it, it's a tripartite cooperation. Eight of us, one of you, and one of Japan, South, North and North Korea!"

"Actually, it's me eight and you two!"

Having said this, Ye Qing sat down and took another sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Tell me, am I thinking of you and am I repaying you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and the three men just looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, he just felt that he had suddenly figured out all the problems that had been bothering him before.

He had previously thought that Ye Qing had trained the generals stationed in Ningbo on water warfare from the beginning in order to prepare for attacking Yingtian Mansion from the waterway.

This is again taking Yingtianfu as an example, and it is also a beach landing battle!

It now seemed that Ye Qing had already analyzed the national situation of the conflict between the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Japan, and guessed early on that the other party would come to him for cooperation, so he started to take precautions.

I have to say that this strategy of consuming the opponent's combat power and gaining the opponent's financial resources is really perfect.

You must know that attacking the Japanese country was something that neither the Yuan Dynasty nor the Ming Dynasty did!

Qianyuan was hindered by wind and waves, so in the end he could only say that it was God's will and give up from now on!

When he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese State beheaded his envoy Zhu Yuanzhang, but he did not attack due to various reasons!

It's okay now, Ye Qing has done it for him!

But at this moment, everyone saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly change from a smile to a depressed one.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang changed his face faster than flipping through a book was because he thought of something.

He just issued an edict a few days ago, and it was still the kind of edict that tells the world. The content of the edict is that the Japanese country can be prevented but not succeeded, and it should always be customized! Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he thought of this. He just wanted to find some regret medicine.

If he had known that Ye Qing had such a purpose, not only would he not have issued such an edict, but he would have tried his best to help him secretly.

How could he not want to do this kind of thing that consumes other people's military power and also earns the other party's financial resources?

As long as he, Zhu Yuanzhang, is not a fool, he will be very happy to do it!

But if he really agreed to what Ye Qing did, his face would be completely lost!

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang thought of his anger in the imperial study room, he felt particularly funny.

He once said that he wanted Ye Qing to die outside the country, but now it seemed that it was not Ye Qing who died outside, but him who was humiliated and thrown outside.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is doing a multiple-choice question: Do you want money or face?

Zhu Yuanzhang just rolled his eyes and immediately made the wisest choice, that is, he wanted both money and face.

"Hahaha!"

In the eyes of Ye Qing, Queen Ma and Mao Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a sad look on his face before, burst out laughing.

He smiled directly and said cheerfully: "Master Ye has such a good business and thinks about us so much, how could we not know better?"

"Girl, give me money!"

Soon, Ye Qing, who never touched money, called Shen Wan'er and accepted Queen Ma's two million yuan.

At the same time, they signed a contract in duplicate.

While signing, sealing, and fingerprinting, Zhu Yuanzhang thought at the same time: "You still want 80%. After the matter is completed, I will punish you for a few crimes, and you will not achieve 80%."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Master Ye, this can be done, but I have to give you some advice on how to do it."

"As His Majesty's servant, you have to think about His Majesty's face!"

"Your Majesty has just announced to the world that Japan can be defended but not successfully. Isn't it a good idea for you to do just that?"

Ye Qing just smiled and said, "What does this have to do with Your Majesty?"

"I will let everyone retire collectively before the war begins. They all volunteer to make money. It has nothing to do with my Ningbo Mansion or the Ming Dynasty."

"After the fight, just return to service as a group!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately laughed and praised Ye Qing as the most capable minister in ancient and modern times and the most loyal minister throughout the ages.

Ye Qing just smiled and said nothing, and at the same time thought to himself: "It's a beautiful idea. I will say in the memorandum that it was His Majesty the Ming Emperor who took over this business, and asked the Ningbo Prefecture soldiers to retire to help!"

"This name needs to be revealed by the Emperor. It's better for a historical passer-by like me not to be famous!"

In this way, the two people, who had their own secrets, happily signed the contract and happily entered into a period of eating, drinking and chatting.

In the dining room of the mansion of the magistrate of Ningbo Prefecture, which is more luxurious than that of the magistrate's mansion of Yanmen County,

Zhu Yuanzhang has completely adapted to liquor. After one sip, he really felt the feeling of a fire dragon flying in his chest!

Zhu Yuanzhang said drunkenly: "The smell of wine is rushing like a violent wave sweeping across. It relieves thousands of sorrows and sweeps away thousands of years. Good wine!"

Ye Qing felt a little sense of accomplishment when he saw what he said that day being repeated by Mr. Guo in front of him.

He put his arm around Mr. Guo's shoulders and said, "It smells really good, doesn't it?"

"fragrant!"

"It really smells good!"

Next to them, Queen Ma and Mao Xiang looked at this scene and felt very happy.

This is what they want to see most, the harmonious side of the monarch and his ministers.

They just hope that this state can continue forever, even after their identities are exposed.

Thinking of this, the two of them drank a glass of white wine and smiled one after another: "Yes, it does taste really good!"

After drinking for three rounds, they started chatting.

Queen Ma smiled and said: "Master Ye, you are so considerate of us, do you need our help?"

"As long as we can do it, we will definitely help!"

Zhu Yuanzhang blushed and said, "Yes, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help you!"

Ye Qing just rolled his eyes and immediately thought that he really needed help.

Of course, he himself does not need help, but the soldiers stationed in Ningbo who are about to go on an expedition need the help of top generals.

Yes,

He did train the generals from Ningbo Prefecture, but their 'skill' was never enough.

You must have good generals to kill as many enemies as possible and make as few sacrifices as possible in an unfamiliar environment.

But this kind of thing can only be thought about in dreams!

In this world, only Zhu Yuanzhang can help, and it's useless to talk to them!

"I do need help, but you can't help me even if I tell you."

“Let’s continue eating, drinking, listening to music and watching dancing!”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

Is there anything in the world that he can't help with?

By saying this, isn't it just a slap in his face?

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately waved his hand, signaling to stop playing the piano, stop dancing, and stop eating and drinking!

He said very seriously and responsibly: "How do you know we can't help you if you don't tell me?"

"You don't tell me what help you need, but you just say that we can't help. Are you looking down on us?"

"Look down on General Guo?"

Ye Qing looked at the enthusiastic Mr. Guo and just smiled helplessly.

Now Ye Qing no longer needs Mr. Guo to help anger Zhu Yuanzhang!

Therefore, there is no need for him to offend such a person!

Now, he also wants to enjoy this meal.

In order to prevent the good eating and drinking atmosphere from being ruined, Ye Qing immediately decided to speak out so that they could retreat.

Ye Qing said seriously: "I need Marshal Xu Da from the Ming Dynasty to help lead the troops and help the Japanese Southern Dynasty attack the Northern Dynasty!"

"I also need Marshal Xu Da's opponent. Marshal Wang Baobao also comes out to help lead the troops and help the Japanese Northern Dynasty attack the Southern Dynasty!"

"Not only that, I also need Lan Yu to be the vanguard general of one of them!"

Having said this, Ye Qing looked at Mao Xiang again and said: "In my opinion, the only thing you can do to help is to lend Brother Mao to me and be the vanguard general of one of them!"

"Of course, you can also be General Guo again!"

Having said this, Ye Qing poured himself a glass of wine nonchalantly, not even bothering to look at Mr. Guo.

Because he was absolutely certain that only Zhu Yuanzhang could help with this, and Mr. Guo would never be able to help him.

"Humph!"

Only a sneer was heard.

In everyone's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already blushing and neck red from drinking, immediately slapped the table.

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "We thought it was something serious!"

"Why do you say that we can't help you with this?"

When Ye Qing heard this, he immediately turned around. His eyes were so wide that he looked a bit like Zhu Yuanzhang who once stared at him.

Queen Ma looked at this scene and her heart suddenly rose to her throat!
