The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1452

[1452. Chapter 1378 The overall situation has been decided]

has been decided. King Zhenla trembled and covered his cheeks.

When I heard Liu Wenshan’s words, I thought I had heard wrongly.

Everyone is looking at themselves.

Liu Wenshan was even more smiling.

But soon, I saw that King Chenla had no reaction.

Liu Wenshan began to become impatient and said coldly to him: “Please give me a smile.”

King Zhenla: “…”

He looked at Liu Wenshan with fear.

In fact, perhaps because of his psychological shadow, he always felt that Liu Wenshan might hit someone again at any time.

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

They would rather offend themselves or suffer humiliation than they had the courage to resist Liu Wenshan.

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

“Take them down!”

This was said to the chief of guards, the five ministers, and the guards at the entrance of the palace.

But…

the palace is still eerily quiet.

King Zhenla looked ferocious upon seeing this and continued to roar.

“Get him…”

Liu Wenshan looked at King Zhenla with a smile.

The look in his eyes was a bit strange.

After all, there are still people in this world who are not rational enough.

Fortunately, there are more rational people than irrational people.

So…

guards, you look at me, and I look at you.

Guard Chief Moore also lowered his head and did not dare to express his anger.

The five ministers all looked miserable and remained silent.

King Chenla was furious, his face turned red with anger, and he became even more severe.

“Take him down, take him down, kill him, kill them, kill all the wise merchants in the country, kill all the Confucian scholars.”

“…”

His words trailed off.

The sound of a pindrop could still be heard in the hall, and everyone seemed to regard his words as nothing.

King Chenla rolled his sleeves and became even more furious.

But this… made the five ministers and the guards worried.

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

If this continues, it will not only be a lose-lose outcome.

But…

Bearded Duolou gritted his teeth, suddenly fell to the ground, kowtowed to King Zhenla, and said mournfully.

“Please…please smile.”

“What.” King Zhenla took a step back and looked at Beard Duolou warily, with incomparable shock in his eyes and a slight tremor at the corner of his mouth.

“Say it again?”

Beard Duolou gritted his teeth and said, “Please smile!”

King Zhenla sneered again and again, smiling, with tears in his eyes.

But at this moment, the Shema Mausoleum also made a thud and knelt down on the ground: “Please laugh!”

King Zhenla shuddered all over.

He looked at Shemoling in even more shock. Shemoling was his father-in-law and the biological father of the queen.

He belongs to his own family.

However, even he…

The three ministers bowed silently. They did not say a word, but… their body language already revealed their stance.

Even if the King of Ming Dynasty does not arrive and breaks with Liu Wenshan today, the Zhenla Kingdom will fall soon.

Not to mention, Ming Dynasty has already found out all the details of their family, young and old. Once the Ming Master arrives, the whole family will be destroyed.

They couldn’t imagine this consequence.

Whoever can become the five ministers is not an extremely smart person. The matter is already obvious, and all the pros and cons have been clearly weighed.

King Zhenla looked at the person kneeling in front of him in shock. He couldn’t help but shook his head and took a few steps back.

He shuddered.

The guard chief Moore also bowed down with a look of shame on his face: “Please…please smile.

“

The guards were all stunned.

Most of them were Moore’s confidants, not to mention the five ministers…

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

“Please smile, the king. If the king doesn’t smile, disaster will happen. Please think twice.” The king’s father-in-law couldn’t bear it and continued to dissuade him with an anxious look.

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

At this time, King Chenla was completely devastated.

It’s over, everything is over.

It is conceivable that he has completely lost control of Zhenla.

He took a deep breath with effort.

Then… the face that had been slapped like a pig’s head seemed to have been brewing for a while, and then the swollen cheeks reluctantly moved upward.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He… smiled.

Laughing is worse than crying.

Because at this moment, his eyes betrayed his heart.

The eyes were red, and tears seemed to be pouring out of them.

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

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

Then, his smile started to look a little bit better.

“Haha…haha…”

Even the laughter started to sound a bit real.

Phew…

his smile made everyone feel relieved.

It seemed like a Chinese New Year all of a sudden.

Shemoling and the others all followed suit and forced themselves to laugh.

There was relief in their eyes.

The crisis has been temporarily resolved.

Liu Wenshan also smiled, like a spring breeze.

He bowed his hands and saluted: “Your Majesty knows your mistakes and can correct them. There is no great virtue. If your Majesty knows the etiquette, it will be even more fortunate. Your Majesty, please take a seat. Next, we can have a good talk.”

King Zhenla’s face was ashen .

.

He knew exactly what was going to happen next.

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

It was placed on the desk of King Chenla.

King Chenla had almost no intention of looking at it.

Did it work?

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

Therefore, he didn’t want to look at it at all. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil.

Liu Wenshan said with a smile: “What do you think, Your Majesty?”

What Liu Wenshan wrote was naturally about this protocol.

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

King Zhenla took a deep breath, rolled his eyes slightly, and looked at the group of expectant people in the palace…

Finally he said: “Yes.”

“Your Majesty is wise, if this is the case, the cooperation between the Four Seas Trading Company and the Zhenla Kingdom can be smooth, and The current crisis in Zhenla Kingdom can naturally be solved. “

King Zhenla: “…”

Liu Wenshan said, “I don’t know when your Majesty will issue the edict.”

King Zhenla was silent.

Shemoling said hurriedly: “You can do it now.”

“That’s very good.” Liu Wenshan nodded. He felt the goodwill shown by Zhenla: “Then, Xishan Bank and Siyang Commercial Bank will do their best to cooperate.”

Liu Wenshan looked at the five ministers again and said calmly: “I am gratified that there are so many virtuous things around the king. From my point of view, the king is a wise master, and the sacrifices in Zhenla Kingdom are all important.” “We have a great king, and government affairs should be handled by these five wise ministers.”

The five ministers were silent and looked at Liu Wenshan.

What happened today may offend the king. If the king is not angry, their future life may not be easy.

If the five ministers want peace, in addition to staying together, they are afraid that leading the Ming Dynasty to control the king seems to be their way out in the future.

“In the protocol, it is stipulated that Xishan Bank and Siyang Trading Company will station personnel in Zhenla to be responsible for the circulation of Zhenla coins and commercial transactions. In my opinion, the king should regard them as the ones responsible for currency, currency and trade. “You

should ask them more.”

“I understand…” King Zhenla nodded with difficulty, and seemed to have used a lot of effort to speak out: “When the time comes, I will consecrate them. “

This is a top priority for Liu Wenshan. Banks and merchants cannot appoint shopkeepers here without status. Therefore, the five ministers of Zhenla Kingdom may need to be changed to seven ministers. .

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

One protocol after another was signed.

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

Zhang Hui, the shopkeeper of the Zhenla Branch of Xishan Bank, was appointed Minister of Finance.

Liu Jiancheng, the shopkeeper of the Zhenla Branch of Siyang Trading Company, was appointed as the Minister of Commerce of Zhenla Kingdom.

These two titles were recommended by Xishan Bank and Siyang Commercial Bank, and then approved by King Chenla. Once he resigned, the minister’s position would be removed. Until the bank and commercial bank proposed new candidates to take over, then the title of this minister would be Recanonized.

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

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

The Siyang Trading Company was mainly responsible for trade with Chenla or investment in the country of Chenla.

Immediately afterwards.

The conversation was very pleasant in the end, and Liu Wenshan happily gave a copy of all kinds of banknotes from Xishan Baochao to King Zhenla as a gift.

King Chenla took the treasure note.

But he took a breath of cold air.

Soon, he realized something.

This treasure note is certainly beautifully printed.

On the denomination of the ten taels of silver, the name printed on the front is Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. The printing of Emperor Gao Zu Gao is so lifelike that every texture, even the beard, is clearly visible. God knows how it was printed.

Above, there are numbers.

And the back…

is even more worthy of scrutiny.

King Chenla belongs to the royal family. He has received the best education since he was a child, so… he is proficient in Chinese.

What is printed on the entire back is the “Three Character Classic”. From the Three Character Classic, the essence is extracted, one word after another. It seems densely packed, but it is clearly visible.

King Chenla seemed to realize something.

Then, he took out five taels of money.

Sure enough, just as he thought, except that the front was Emperor Wen, the back was the surnames of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Qian Sun Li…and so on.

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

There is not a single line of Zhenla characters on such treasure banknotes.

But money is the most commonly used thing by soldiers and civilians. Almost everyone needs to recognize it.
