"Borrow 30% of the grain in our country?! How could the Heavenly Dynasty do this!"

Jin Liu, the leader of the Korean Kingdom, was shocked and angry after learning from Yuan Chonghuan that the Ming Emperor sent a navy to the place.

"Do you want to resist the order? Don't blame me for saying ugly things in front of you. If you don't agree now, the Ming Navy will directly attack Seoul according to the imperial order and forcefully rob 30% of the food and fodder. You must not want to see that scene, that would kill people!"

Yuan Chonghuan asked now, and then threatened proudly.

Then, Yuan Chonghuan raised his lips and continued, "In addition, please don't let your country doubt your highness's loyalty, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"

"you!"

Training general Li Xingli directly pulled out the knife and looked at Yuan Chonghuan's arrogant look and was quite angry.

"General Li can kill me, but General Li is not afraid that if you continue to take this knife, you will not be able to keep the throne of Your Highness you are loyal to? It is reported that Your Highness raised his troops because the Guanghai Jun Li Hui turned against the Heavenly Kingdom and was supported by you. Why, don't you want your Highness to be loyal to the Heavenly Kingdom so soon?"

Yuan Chonghuan has been in North Korea for so long and is familiar with North Korea. At this time, he can respond very calmly to the reactions of these North Korean rulers.

"In addition, let me tell you one more thing. My Celestial Navy already has a boat to Ping'an Road. You'd better hurry up. Don't force my Emperor Ming to change the master because of doubting your loyalty!"

Yuan Chonghuan continued.

"The Celestial Empire was not so domineering and arrogant in the past. It treated our vassal states with great preferential treatment, helping us to pacify the Japanese and restore peace. How is it like this now! The Taizu of the Celestial Empire also said that our North Korea is a country that the Celestial Empire does not seek."

Jin Liu couldn't help but say something sour.

"The Instructions of Emperor Ming's Ancestors said that it is not arbitrary to conquer, rather than not to conquer. If there is any usurpation of the throne, it should conquer itself, or if it is not loyal to the Heavenly Kingdom, it should conquer itself. Besides, this time, the Heavenly Kingdom must conquer your country, but just borrowed grain from your country to relieve the people's worries and conquer it to relieve the troubles of the enemy. If your country is loyal, it should donate grain and borrow grain, and the court will not promote the conquest because of this."

Yuan Chonghuan replied.

"Okay! Open the treasury and ask the Heavenly Kingdom to get the grain!"

North Korean King Lee Nai did not refuse in the end.

He had just successfully usurped the throne, and his status had not been recognized by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the remnants of Guanghaijun in China had not been completely eliminated. Li Shi from Ping'an Dao was ready to move. Just now, Yuan Chonghuan said that the Celestial Navy sent someone to Ping'an Dao had made him feel uneasy. Now Yuan Chonghuan said that the Ming Dynasty could conquer him at any time on the grounds that his country was not right, so he had to compromise now.

After all, food is not as important as the throne.

Jin Liu hurriedly advised at this time: "Your Highness! North Korea is poor. Now the treasury actually has only more than 9 million stones of grain. If the Celestial Empire takes away three million stones and borrows another 30%, then the treasury will only have 30% of the grain left! Once there are military affairs or disaster relief, the inventory of only 3 million stones of grain may be difficult to sustain! Also, North Korea's grain exports to the Celestial Empire will be difficult to explain to the Korean people!"

Yuan Chonghuan smiled and said, "I have millions of armored warriors in the Ming Dynasty, and tens of thousands of naval warships. In addition to protecting the people of the Celestial Empire, they can also protect the people of your country. This has been confirmed during the Japanese riots in the Renchen period. As long as the Celestial Empire is satisfied, what are you afraid of? I, Yuan Chonghuan, can protect your country's safety! Besides, there are millions of armored warriors in the Celestial Empire! Besides, half of the grain is borrowed and will be returned sooner or later, and the other half of the grain is also to help you eliminate the hidden dangers of the Eastern Captains in the North. What's the point of not wanting it? You don't want it if you take it away. You can also explain to the Korean people and people, saying that it is to repay the favor of the Celestial Empire for restoring the country back then, so donating grain to the Celestial Empire. What's the point of not understanding it? If you don't need your education, I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, will educate you these unknown people!"

What he can protect North Korea's safety by wearing millions of armor? Of course, Yuan Chonghuan is accustomed to bragging about his slap. However, the monarch and ministers of North Korea cannot doubt it at this time.

Yuan Chonghuan had to admit that his emperor was really clever, so why did he come up with the strategy of borrowing food, which did not lose the dignity of a great country, but also gained benefits.

"Okay! Give it, give it, now show loyalty to the Celestial Empire is the key, there is not enough food to store, so we will continue to increase taxes next year."

Li Wu said helplessly.

"yes!"

Jinliu had no choice but to agree.

The Ming Dynasty court thus obtained six million stones of grain from North Korea without bloodshed and transported them back to the country one after another.

Because Zhu Youxiao spent a lot of money in the Tianjin shipyard, the shipbuilding production of the shipyard has now become very high.

After all, with the manufacturing capabilities of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to code a ship, it is no problem to code dozens or hundreds of ships.

Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty asked Chen Yourong to take the Denglai Navy to Korea, he also booked dozens of ships, and Chen Xin took the navy camp in Komwei Town to Japan to borrow food.

Chen Xin brought dozens of ships to Edo Bay directly according to the navigation chart given by the emperor.

As soon as he arrived at Yokohama in Edo Bay, Chen Xin sent the five sail powered warships he brought and twenty hard sail large ships on the shore of Yokohama, and then began to land.

Japan is still in the shogunate era.

Closed to the country.

There is no strong coastal defense capability.

So, after Chen Xin came here, he landed directly in Yokohama and went to the shore to call people.

At the beginning, Chen Xin directly coded 3,000 people from the Naval Division in Komwei Town. Then, these 3,000 people relied on their advanced firearms and strong combat power to successfully defeat Yokohama Castle, which had a slack defense and no awareness of coastal defense.

Then, Chen Xin continued to code.

This time he brought more than 20,000 people.

But except for the Navy Battalion, these 20,000 people were all coastal defense militia trained by the Navy Academy in Liaodong.

However, it is enough to use it to bluff.

So, after Chen Xin had 3,000 people in Yokohama, he directly digitized another 20,000 people.

In addition, a battleship was bombarded with fifty or sixty artillery guns.

The shogunate people naturally couldn't stand the Ming Dynasty's demonstrations. After all, they only had about twenty decent sea defense cannons, and the warships were just a few hard sailboats that were not even as good as blessed ships.

Therefore, the shogunate immediately met with the Ming envoy and was relieved to learn that the Ming Dynasty was here to borrow food.

Because Japan has been in peace for a long time now, it has made a lot of money by invading North Korea before that. Now the shogunate is in its early stages and its tax collection ability is pretty good, so the shogunate now has a lot of food.

It was not a big deal for them to borrow rice from the Ming Dynasty, and they were happy to measure the material resources of Japan and win the favor of the Ming Dynasty.

The shogunate personally sent people to move 30% of the stored grain, totaling more than 5 million stones, and took it away to the Navy camp in the Ming Dynasty Komwei Town.

...

Zhu Youxiao didn't know about Chen Xin and others going to Japan to borrow food, but he had already obtained information from North Korea and learned that Chen Yourong had brought back six million stones of food from North Korea.

"Very good! Now that we have the grain borrowed from outside, the imperial court's victory is a foregone conclusion for this grain speculation. We have sent an order to continue to lower the grain price. Those nobles and noble families and the vassal kings behind them. Since we like to stock up on grain, let them continue to buy. We have to be a good role as a big grain merchant. We don't have to worry about not having enough food or not enough food. Let the navy lead the fleet to continue to borrow from outside. Whenever North Korea and Japan borrow, we will borrow from Siam and Java... As long as there are still people in the country who are willing to continue to buy, we will continue to borrow!"

Zhu Youxiao issued the latest order to Han Yu, Xiong Tingbi and others.

"Your Majesty, do you have to make a charter for returning grain?"

Han asked suddenly at this time.

He has always been silent and silent, and does not speak for himself.

But now when it comes to increasing the court's debts, he can't help but speak more.

Because the Ming Dynasty now borrowed three million stones of grain from North Korea, if it still had to borrow it, it would undoubtedly make the Ming Dynasty's debt very serious.

Zhu Youxiao pulled his face down and looked at Han Du: "If Fang Congzhe was here, he wouldn't have asked this question!"

"Hmph! It's their honor to borrow food from Daming!"

Zhu Youxiao left here as he said.

"Damn it!"
