Day 320 (3)

"you....."

Lian Zining's face turned pale, but she tried her best to control her emotions. She almost yelled at Li Jinglong in anger, "You are still the Duke of the Ming Dynasty who was inherited from the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of the Nanshufang, and the Minister of the Lifan Academy. You are already at the highest position as the minister and the power of the emperor, why... "

As he said that, Lian Zining pointed at the box of Jinsha, "How different is this behavior to be a villain? How different is it from a robber? Duke Cao, don't care about your own face, don't you care about my Ming face?" As he said that, he stamped his feet and said, "How dare you do such behavior...?"

After saying that, he covered his face in shame and anger, and the depressed person in the room sat on the chair.

It’s not pedantic or his mind is not that he can’t turn around, but that the world is like this. For thousands of years, a true scholar-official class like him has been ashamed of profit. It is undoubtedly a shame for them to ask for money so openly and stubbornly.

Li Jinglong glanced at him lightly, and did not speak, but said to his personal soldier Li Xiaowai, "Test the quality of Jinsha well, don't let the Burmese envoy fool you, see if you can see enough!"

"You..." Lian Zining was furious, "Duke Cao, do you still need to check?" As he said, he said coldly, "Secretary...Secretary wants to study your book..."

"Wait a minute!" Li Jinglong glanced at him again, "What are you involved in Li?"

"Consider the money of the envoys of the vassal states you have obtained, and join your private agreement to negotiate the peace treaty between the two countries!" Lian Zining said loudly, "Duke Cao, you won't know what a serious crime is to make a private agreement, right? Even if you are the Minister of the Lifan Yuan, should the peace treaty with the Myanmar be negotiated by the court meeting and the emperor's ruling. How can you count if you make such a private agreement?

"Then it doesn't count!" Li Jinglong smiled faintly, "I didn't think about counting at all." As he said that, he reached out to grab a handful of Jinsha, and then slowly let the Jinsha fall from his fingers, and smiled, "They said to the Burmese just now, except for you, me and others, no one knows."

"Hmm?" Lian Zining was stunned, wondering what he meant.

"Just tell you this, Li signed a peace agreement with them. When this peace agreement is useful to the Ming Dynasty, it will naturally count, but when it is useless to the Ming Dynasty, it will be said that I, Li Jinglong, privately acted and could not count!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Is it useful or not? Let's have the final say, do you understand?"

"You..." Lian Zining trembled all over and said something unscrupulously.

This is worse than a private agreement to negotiate a peace agreement. It is obviously going to refuse to admit it in the future. This is to go against your word and not trustworthy.

"If the emperor knows what you have done, Duke Cao..."

"You still don't understand?" Li Jinglong interrupted him and said squintly, "Do you really think Li has such a courage to play with the envoys of a country in his palm?"

"This..." Lian Zining was stunned again, and then seemed to understand something.

Could it be that what Duke Cao did was instructed by the emperor?

But... the emperor can have such a grandson... no, can the emperor act so willful?

He asked with his eyes in surprise, and received a reply from Li Jinglong with a smile and affirmative look.

"Shisan Lian, you are a civil servant after all, you don't understand such military and national affairs!" Li Jinglong looked at his personal soldiers checking the golden sand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a wry smile, "Myanmar and my Ming Dynasty have to be guarded against. You think he is a remote small country, but once the Myanmar is unified, it is like a tiger on the side of my Ming Dynasty's bed!"

"Now they are making trouble. For the Ming Dynasty, it is just a mosquito bite and produces some blood. Once they grow stronger the next day, it will not be a bloody matter, but a piece of meat will be lost!" Li Jinglong continued, "I have to be careful!"

Lian Zining frowned and said, "He dares? If there is really disrespect in the country of Myanmar, my Ming Dynasty will destroy the country. Goryeo is the lesson of his predecessor!"

"Two things!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Gory and we will arrive after crossing the river, but where is the Myanmar country? The poor mountains, bad waters, deep mountains and old forests, and the barbarians are elusive. How many years have they suppressed those chieftains? If the Burmese fights desperately, how many people will we die?"

"Besides, Goryeo is a country of sinicization, what about the Burmese people? Even if we occupy that place now, they will turn their backs on it! Besides, where does the imperial court get the money to fight now?"

"The emperor's conquest of Goryeo was ruined by the fact that the Emperor had saved for many years. The civilians and soldiers from all provinces in the north were ready-made, and the Goryeo people had no intention of resisting. Now the national treasury income is too much, but there are also more places to spend money. If you don't have to conquer Myanmar, you can't have a few million silver coins? If you say less than 200,000 troops, how much food will you eat per day? How many civilians and livestock should you use?"

Speaking of this, Li Jinglong sighed, "For the sake of the present, we can only eat slowly! It is also our great blessings in the Ming Dynasty. We just fell asleep, so the Burmese people gave us pillows."

"In the name of transporting teak, we will go out to ship and people. Will we have to build their harbor? Will there be a city garrison in the harbor? In addition, we have divided the long line of 150 miles horizontally, and then we will make full preparations and attack them in two directions."

"You guys, when fighting, you can only watch the fun and think there are too many people. In fact, there are a lot of knowledge in fighting. When fighting, fighting is just a money-making process. If we are ready, we can make it without preparation. Give him a cold one and beat him down. This is a sure profit and no loss of money!"

Then, he glanced at Lian Zining and said, "I'll tell you a brief moment. This is not what I, Li, thinks, but it was decided by Master Long Live. Do you participate in me? Isn't that involved Master Long Live?"

He immediately sighed, "I, Mr. Li, just do my job by running errands, haha!"

Lian Zining was stunned when he heard this, "What's the use of fighting the Myanmar country...?"

"Just because he has teak, he should fight!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Besides, do you really think he and the others don't have gold, silver, and copper mines? I heard that there are gems there!"

"Master, it's accurate!" At this time, Li Xiaowai had already checked the 100 kilograms of golden sand clearly. "One hundred kilograms are only a lot, and the golden sand is very good!" As he said that, he pinched a grain of golden sand and put it in his mouth, bit it suddenly, and then spit it in his palm and smiled, "Look, it's soft, it's gold!"

As he bite the golden sand, Lian Zining's heart trembled violently.

Looking at Li Xiaowai and Li Jinglong's greedy gaze when he looked at Jinsha, anger suddenly rose in his heart.

"Even if what you said makes sense,... blackmailing people is never done by gentlemen." Lian Zining said, "Duke Cao, you are a noble family, at home..."

Li Jinglong didn't look at him, but said to Li Xiaowai, "Come out twenty kilograms of golden sand and bring it to Mr. Lian!"

"Yes!" Li Xiaowai immediately took action.

"I..." Lian Zining was stunned again and said in his heart, "He will give it to me?"

At this time, Li Jinglong slowly turned his head and smiled, "Twenty pounds, don't you say that you are less, but it's mainly because it's not eye-catching, and it's enough to keep you home for a while."

"No, no, no!" Lian Zining waved his hand quickly, "This kind of ill-gotten gain is here..."

"It's not pedantic!" Li Jinglong interrupted him without any explanation, "Why is it ill-gotten money? Did I steal or rob? Did I force him to deliver it to me with a knife? Or did I lie to him?"

As he said that, before Lian Zining could speak, he said seriously, "Take it! Li asked you to call me aloud."

"You said it was ill-righteous wealth. Li wanted to ask you, this Jinsha is not me, Li, who sold official positions and took bribes, or I was not my bribes to my subordinates because of my identity. Why did I have ill-righteous wealth?"
