Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1378 The overall situation has been decided

   King Chenla trembled and covered his cheeks.

  Hearing what Liu Wenshan said, he thought he heard it wrong.

   Everyone looks at themselves.

  Liu Wenshan smiled even more.

   But soon, seeing that the king of Chenla did not respond.

  Liu Wenshan became impatient, and said coldly to him, "Please smile, Wang."

  King of Chenla: "..."

  He looked at Liu Wenshan with fear.

   Even, perhaps because of the psychological shadow, he always felt that Liu Wenshan might violently beat someone again at any time.

   What made him even more desperate was that the five ministers were silent at this moment.

  They would rather offend themselves and allow themselves to be humiliated, but they didn't even have the courage to resist Liu Wenshan.

  The burning pain on his face made him even more ashamed and angry. He stared at Liu Wenshan bitterly. At this moment, he lost his mind, waved his hand, and shouted angrily.

   "Take them down!"

   These words were addressed to the head of the imperial guard, the five ministers, and the imperial guards at the entrance of the hall.

But…

  The hall was still eerily quiet.

   King Chenla's face was ferocious when he saw this, and continued to hiss and roar.

   "Take him down..."

  Liu Wenshan looked at King Chenla with a smile.

   His eyes were a little strange.

  In this world, after all, there are still people who are not rational.

   Fortunately, there are more rational people than irrational people.

so…

  Guards, you look at me, I look at you.

  The head of the guard, Moore, also lowered his head, not daring to vent his breath.

  The faces of the five ministers were all miserable, and they were silent like cicadas.

   King Chenla was furious, his face flushed with anger, and he became more severe.

   "Take him down, take him down, kill him, kill them, kill all Ming merchants in the country, kill all those Confucians."

   "..."

  His voice fell.

  A needle can still be heard in the temple, and everyone seems to regard his words as air.

  The king of Chenla swung his sleeves and became even more furious.

  But this... made the five ministers and the guards worry.

  The fear in their hearts magnified infinitely with the king's anger.

  If this goes on, it will not only be a lose-lose ending.

   Instead…

  Ban Duolo gritted his teeth, suddenly fell to the ground, kowtowed to the King of Chenla, and mourned.

   "Please...please Wang laugh."

   "What." King Chenla took a step back and looked at Ran Duolou vigilantly, with shock in his eyes and a slight trembling in the corner of his mouth.

"Can you say that again?"

  Ran Duolou gritted his teeth: "Please laugh!"

   King Chenla sneered again and again, smiling, tears welling up in his eyes.

  But at this moment, Nashe Moling also knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Please laugh!"

   King Chenla shuddered all over.

  He looked at She Moling in shock. She Moling was his father-in-law and the queen's biological father.

  He may belong to his own relatives.

   Yet even he...

  The three ministers bowed silently. They didn't say a word, but...the language on their bodies already revealed their position.

  Even if the master of the Ming Dynasty did not come, and broke with Liu Wenshan today, this Chenla Kingdom may be destroyed sooner or later.

   Needless to say, Da Ming has already found out the details of the whole family, young and old. Once the master arrives, the whole family will be wiped out.

  The consequences, they can't imagine.

   It is obvious which one of the five ministers is not an extremely smart person, and all the pros and cons have been weighed clearly.

   King Chenla looked at the kneeling man in front of him in shock, shook his head repeatedly, and took a few steps back.

   He shivered.

  The head of the guard, Moore, also bowed down with shame on his face: "Please... Please Wang laugh."

   Palace mouth.

  The guards were all dumbfounded.

  Most of them are Moore's confidants, not to mention, there are five ministers...

  One by one the guards began to retreat obediently, as if the affairs of the palace had nothing to do with them anymore.

   "The king please laugh, if the king doesn't laugh, catastrophe is imminent, please think twice." The king's father-in-law couldn't bear it, and continued to dissuade him with an anxious expression on his face.

  Liu Wenshan seemed to have reached the limit of his patience. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes became colder and colder.

   At this time, the king of Chenla was desperate.

   It's over, everything is over.

   It is conceivable that I have completely lost control of Chenla.

  He took a deep breath hard.

  Then... The face that had been beaten like a pig's head seemed to be brewing a little first, and then, the swollen cheeks of the old man barely lifted up.

  The corners of the mouth are slightly raised.

  He… laughed.

  Laughing is uglier than crying.

   Because of this moment, his eyes betrayed his heart.

  The eye sockets were flushed, and tears seemed to gush out.

  He held back his tears desperately, held his head up, trying to force the tears back.

  He twitched the corners of his mouth and continued to work hard...

  Next, his smile began to look a little different.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

  Even the laughter began to feel a little real.

  Hoo...

  His smile made everyone feel relieved.

   It seems like a new year, all of a sudden.

  She Moling and others followed suit, laughing forcefully.

  In the eyes, there is joy.

  The crisis is temporarily lifted.

  Liu Wenshan also smiled like a spring breeze.

  He made a bow with both hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. If your Majesty knows how to be polite, it will be even more fortunate. Please sit down, Your Majesty. Next, we can have a good talk."

  The king of Chenla was ashamed.

  He knows exactly what will happen next.

   Soon, Liu Wenshan took out a protocol between the Chenla Kingdom and the Siyang Trading Company.

   It was placed on the desk of King Chenla.

  The king of Chenla hardly had any intention to see it.

   Did it work?

   Even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he still has to be obedient.

  So he didn't want to watch it at all. At this moment, his heart was already overwhelmed.

  Liu Wenshan said with a smile: "What does Your Majesty think?"

  Liu Wenshan's writing, of course, is how this protocol is.

  If it is possible, then hurry up and issue an edict.

   King Chenla took a deep breath, turned his eyes slightly, and looked at a group of expecting people in the palace...

  Finally he said: "Yes."

   "Your Majesty is wise, if this is the case, then the cooperation between Siyang Trading Company and Chenla Kingdom will be smooth, and the current crisis in Chenla Kingdom will naturally be resolved."

  King of Chenla: "..."

   Liu Wenshan said: "I don't know when the king will issue the edict."

   King Chenla was silent.

  She Moling hurriedly said: "It can be done now."

   "That's very good." Liu Wenshan nodded, he felt the kindness shown by Chenla: "Then, Xishan Bank and Siyang Commercial Bank will do their best to cooperate."

Liu Wenshan looked at the five ministers again, and said lightly: "There are so many wise things around the king, and I am very pleased with them. According to the minister, the king is a virtuous lord, and it is a sacrificial matter in Chenla Kingdom." , has its own king, and government affairs should come from these five virtuous ministers."

  The five ministers were silent and looked at Liu Wenshan.

   What happened today, I'm afraid they have offended the king. If the king is not angry, they may have a hard time in the future.

  The five ministers want to be safe. Apart from being united, I am afraid that leading the Ming Dynasty to control the king seems to be their future.

"In the proposal, it is stipulated that Xishan Bank and Siyang Commercial Bank will send personnel to Chenla to be responsible for the circulation of Chenla coins and business exchanges. In my opinion, the king should regard them as humerus, currency and business affairs. , you should ask them more."

   "My king...understood." The King of Chenla nodded with difficulty, and it seemed that he had to use a lot of strength to spit out the words: "At that time, I will confer their official positions."

  This article is the most important thing for Liu Wenshan. Banks and commercial firms must appoint shopkeepers here without status. Therefore, the five ministers of the Chenla Kingdom may need to be changed to seven ministers.

   After that, the two sides worked on the drafting of the detailed rules for three days.

   A copy of the protocol, signed it.

   Immediately afterwards, the King of Chenla issued a decree to inform the country.

   Zhang Hui, the treasurer of the Chenla Branch of Xishan Bank, was appointed Minister of Finance.

   Liu Jiancheng, the treasurer of the Chenla Branch of the Siyang Commercial Bank, was appointed as the Minister of Commerce of the Chenla Kingdom.

These two titles were recommended by the Xishan Bank and the Siyang Commercial Bank, and then approved by the King of Chenla. Once he resigned, the position of the Minister will be removed until the Bank and the Commercial Bank propose a new candidate to take over. Then the title of the Minister will be Canonized again.

  Xishan Bank will establish a branch in Chenla and issue treasure notes to replace the current coins.

  For the current Chenla coins, the bank also allows exchange, recycling and invalidating all old coins, and then issuing new coins.

  Siyang Trading Company is mainly responsible for trade with Chenla or investment in Chenla.

   Immediately after.

  The conversation was very pleasant at the end, and Liu Wenshan happily gave a copy of all the various banknotes of Xishan Baochao to the King of Chenla as a gift.

  The king of Chenla took over the banknote.

   But he took a deep breath.

   Soon, he realized something.

   This precious banknote is certainly beautifully printed.

   On the denomination of ten taels of silver, the name printed on the front is Emperor Gao, the Taizu of Ming Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu, the printing can be said to be lifelike, every texture, even the beard, is clearly visible, God knows how it was printed.

   Above, there are numbers.

   And the backside…

   is even more worthy of scrutiny.

  The king of Chenla belongs to the royal family, and he will receive the best education since he was a child, so...he is proficient in Chinese.

  The entire backside is printed with the "Three-Character Classic". From the Three-Character Classic, the essence is extracted, word by word, seemingly densely packed, yet clearly visible.

   King Chenla seemed to realize something.

   Then, he took out five taels of money.

   Sure enough, as he thought, except that the front is Emperor Wen, the back is the family names of Daming.

  Zhao Qiansun Li...and so on.

  There is fear on his face, and the scheming behind the treasure is really terrifying.

  There is not a single sentence in Zhenla characters on such a treasure banknote.

   Money, however, is the most commonly used item by soldiers and civilians, and almost everyone needs to recognize it.
