North Korea was salivating about the Ming Dynasty's Tielingwei in Liaodong. Everyone knew it well, but the Ming Dynasty would definitely not give up the Tielingwei. The capital was like this in Yingtiandu, not to mention that the capital was about to move to Tai'an Prefecture.

That won't give them a chance.

At this time, the three of them came and Fang Shiyu raised his glass to show off.

Zhu Yunxiu said, "The ancestors have figured it out. The Japanese envoy is indeed here to pay tribute, but this time he has not completed the task. I guess Ashikaga Yoshimoto will not spare him when he returns!"

Zhu Yunwen said: "Master, Japan's small country, why are we so many wars? Moreover, when we fight, will there be countless casualties and injuries?"

Zhu Yunxi said: "The ancestor, Jiaozhi's envoy repeatedly promised that he would not cause trouble."

Fang Shiyu looked at the grandsons of the old Zhutou and nodded and said, "Did you calculate in detail how many treasure money were rewarded for this tribute? How many treasure money did they spend to order goods from the merchants?"

"This thing is strictly calculated, with a total of 17 countries paying tribute. The number of treasure money rewards varies, and the total should be 8.35 million."

"Where did I get the news from the merchants that they had collected a total of six million Daming treasure banknotes. There were more than two million treasure banknotes in the hands of envoys from various countries."

"Master, is this treasure money really useful?"

Zhu Yunxiu looked confused. He had similar thoughts to Zhu Yuanzhang. He felt that Fang Shiyu was rewarding treasure money while collecting tributes, and then asked them to buy them with treasure money from several specific merchants in the Ming Dynasty.

And these specific merchants are all from the imperial village. Isn’t it just a waste of time to sell the things run by the imperial village to them?

However, Fang Shiyu was happy about it and said: "That won't work. Tell those merchants and let them increase their sales efforts. Tea can be sold in large quantities. Except for firearms, iron tools, gold, silver and copper items, and salt and grain, everything else can be sold."

"Tell them that the price reduction is not allowed. Whoever collects more treasure money, I will give him the first merit!" Fang Shiyu said with a firm tone. Since she wanted to play, it would be better to play big.

The Ming Dynasty treasury still has a lot of treasure money, which is about 20 million. If so many treasure money flows into the hands of the imperial village, the left hand is turned to the right hand, of course it is not interesting.

But there is another important part of this.

How much treasure money can they exchange for the tributes they brought? How much treasure money can the stingy man Lao Zhu give them? At this time, Fang Shiyu added a handful of fire.

The increase in trade in the imperial village was almost the same as strategic reserves and things that could not be exported, and Fang Shiyu allowed the foreign envoys to buy them.

And if they want to buy it, they naturally need treasure money.

"By the way, you act separately. The first time these envoys played like this, they definitely didn't bring much valuable goods, and they came in the name of their court."

"Let them sign and seal the name of their court to promote the saying that you can borrow from you to Baochao. If the country is strong, you will borrow less, and if the strength is weak, you will borrow more!"

"Let them light a fire and let them continue to rush to buy!"

Fang Shiyu raised his eyebrows. At this time, if you add more fire, it will probably end this tribute.

It's also the last sprint.

Zhu Yunwen was confused and looked at Fang Shiyu and said, "Master, why do those with strong strength borrow less, and those with weak strength borrow more?"

Shouldn’t it be stronger and more able to repay? If the weaker they are unable to repay their debts, isn’t this a waste of money?

Zhu Yunwen was completely confused.

There is nothing wrong with his understanding. Powerful forces naturally occupy more good places, can produce more wealth, and have the ability to repay. However, if weak people borrow too much, they will almost have no ability to repay.

Fang Shiyu smiled and said, "You are still far from here. Learn more. Think about it, what if they are not responsible for their debts?"

"Due to the debt? The court can use this to send troops to attack!" Zhu Yunwen said bluntly.

Nodding, Fang Shiyu said, "I haven't been stupid enough to leave the house yet. Then you say, if you are a powerful leader of a powerful force, facing the five million debt collection from the Ming Dynasty court, you grit your teeth and pay it back, will you pay it back or not?"

"If it does not affect the development of power and is not easy to offend the Heavenly Kingdom, of course, if you can, you will pay it back." Zhu Yunwen said.

"That's it. You have to grasp that they can repay it and will not touch their nerves. Avoid a war and get back wealth by asking for debt!"

"And if it is a weak force, they have no ability or even no rivalry with the three guards of the Ming Dynasty. If you borrow such a force, they dare not not return it. There is no nomadic here, and they have no place to run. So, do you understand now?"

Fang Shiyu wasted his words and explained to Zhu Yunwen.

As for whether Zhu Yunwen can understand it, it depends on his luck.

"Yunxi is going to deal with the merchant, Yunwen is going to find a way to lend the treasure money." Fang Shiyu said that, and turned around and left with Zhu Yunxi.

After walking several feet away, the noise around him was very loud. Zhu Yunxiu asked, "Master, why did you ask Zhu Yunwen to do this? Isn't it okay for me to go?"

"You, you are too smart and it is not easy for people to be fooled. Zhu Yunwen looks stupid and has a lot of money. If he does it, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Fang Shiyu smiled. The money was inserted into the head of the tribute country this time.

Once anyone dares not to repay the money, Fang Shiyu can use this to send troops to conquer and annex. As for repaying the money, what will they pay? They do not have the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, so they can only pay it to the court with gold and silver.

If they take a step back, even if they get the treasure money from the people and return it to the court, what will they use to obtain the treasure money? War plunder will definitely not work.

Trade? Apart from some specialties, what else can they sell at high prices in the Ming Dynasty?

Fang Shiyu had already thought clearly that today will eventually be a day that will be recorded in history!

......

On the 27th year of Hongwu, the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, two days off.

Kunning Palace

Fang Shiyu looked at Princess Lin'an and said, "Can you go out and have fun? Tonight's Lantern Festival! Envoys from various countries have not left yet, so it must be very lively tonight!"

Princess Lin'an sighed, got up and looked at Fang Shiyu and said, "Go out to play?"

"Yes, now I'll take you there, let's go, stay in the house every day, I'm so bored!" Fang Shiyu took Princess Lin'an out.

Two little eunuchs followed Fang Shiyu from the East Palace and came to Kunning Palace all the way. They had already changed their clothes. After all, they could not wear eunuch clothes and leave the palace.

"On such an important day, are you not here to accompany your wife in the East Palace? Why do you want to take me out for a walk?" Princess Lin'an hesitated.

Looking at Princess Lin'an with a smile, Fang Shiyu said, "Countless people gathered in Yingtian, maybe they can see your son-in-law who rides the dragon!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Lin'an lowered her head, patted Fang Shiyu, rolled her eyes and said, "Just make me laugh. I will be with the ancient Buddha of Qinglan and Suzhai forever!"

"That's not possible. Today there are so many talented men and beautiful women. No matter what you say, you will choose a son-in-law who rides a dragon." Fang Shiyu said firmly.

It’s not impossible for Princess Lin'an to live in the palace all the time, but now she lives in Kunning Palace, which is embarrassing. It’s where the queen lives.

After Queen Ma's death, Kunning Palace had no master.

Princess Lin'an quickly spoke, "Your Highness."

"Don't worry, I'll choose for you, how can there be any difference? If the brave one dares to bully you, I'll take off his traits and go!"

Fang Shiyu was unwilling to let Princess Lin'an live in the palace, although it might be more comfortable to live in the palace and there were fewer gossips.

But the people below are also very strong.

As for the second marriage, Fang Shiyu, as a time traveler, would he take care of? What's more, the Ming Dynasty court did not prohibit widows from remarrying, and even encouraged widows to remarry.

Lao Zhu's harem was not without widows.

Fang Shiyu took Princess Lin'an out of the palace, and walked and stopped, played and watched. Until the end, Fang Shiyu couldn't find a suitable candidate.

There are indeed many talented men and beautiful women coming to Yingtian, which is dazzling, but it is really hard to choose one of these people to be the prince consort. Fang Shiyu is really hard to decide.

Princess Lin'an was very happy about this. She was leaving the palace to play, and she would not be disturbed by the love affairs of her children. She did not plan to get married, so it was not bad for her to live in the palace.

At least she is still the master, and no one will gossip in her ears.

Fang Shiyu hung her head unwillingly and took Princess Lin'an back.

.....

Zhan Shi Mansion.

Fang Shiyu walked in depressedly.

Jing Qing looked at Fang Shiyu with confusion and said, "Your Highness, did you not sleep well last night?"

"That's not. I've had too many troubles lately. Don't say what I don't like to listen to, pick up the nice ones first!" Fang Shiyu said as she walked.

After two days of busyness, he didn't find a private home for Princess Lin'an, so Fang Shiyu would be very worried. If he hadn't just had two days off and had a lot of things to do today, he wouldn't have come to the Zhan Shi Mansion.

Jing Qing said: "The bills of the seventeen countries are all above this. The total amount of Baochao loans is 14 million, of which the prince of North Korea borrowed three million!"

"There are a lot of purchases in various countries, and they all have their hands on everything that the court allows to sell."

"Where did the Ministry of Revenue collect back from the imperial village 100,000 taels of gold, 80,000 taels of silver, more than 3,000 horses, and more than 10,000 cattle and sheep."

Jing Qing burst into good news.

Fang Shiyu nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's not bad. Did the Ministry of Revenue say how much treasure money is left in the imperial village?"

"Not less than ten million." Jing Qing said.

"Not less than 10 million? The rewards given by the court are millions of treasure money, and 14 million are borrowed. This is more than 20 million treasure money, but less than ten million are collected?"

Fang Shiyu said in surprise, if this is the case, at least nearly ten million treasure money flowed into various vassal states, which is really good for the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, but according to the accounts, the total treasure money taken away by the envoys of various countries was 6.8 million."

"Why is it so small? Didn't it be taken back?"

"The tribute envoys bought the treasure money that the court rewarded for the tribute, returned to the court, and lent them to them."

"After playing around, the court took out a total of 15 million, recovered nearly 10 million, and flowed in and out five million?"

Fang Shiyu immediately understood the situation.

Because the printing of Daming Baochao has not made money, it has been shut down for a long time. Now Fang Shiyu has picked it up and re-established the value of existence.
