Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the royal family if Yuqing was allowed to marry?

"No, although this Lu Chensheng is very talented and has a city in his hands, but he already has a wife. How can he marry a princess and become a wife?"

The emperor shook his head resolutely.

Marrying in the past also has the advantages of marrying in the past. After marrying in the past, this city of Seoul and Chengzhou Kingdom will be much closer.

The problem is, if she married her, she would be a flat wife, how could he agree?

The rest of the ministers heard the words and felt the same after thinking about it.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Emperor Yunmo continued to ask.

When the rest of the people heard the words, they all looked at each other, and were a little dumbfounded for a while.

This doesn't work and that doesn't work either. There are no perfect conditions.

This Lu Chensheng is not stupid, he can't work for nothing, right?

For a while, the hall fell silent again, and the ministers stopped talking.

Mainly, I didn't think of any better way.

Seeing this, Yun Mo didn't speak, and everyone fell silent for a while.

After a while, seeing that the ministers had no other opinions, Yun Mo waved the ministers to leave.

After all these ministers left one after another, Emperor Yunmo's face was full of confusion.

He was naturally entangled in his mind, how to make this canal.

If the canal is completed, the convenience of it will make him extremely tempted.

But there is no way, the treasury has no money.

You still have to buy war horses with the remaining money, this is a must.

In order to prevent those feudal lords from rebelling, how can we do without this cavalry?

It's just that if the canal can be dug, he still thinks that it can be dug.

But right now it seems that there are no conditions to impress Lu Chensheng.

In terms of mines, the other party should have a lot of them, and they probably won't want them anymore.

If the mine is not needed, it is a gold mine, but he is reluctant to part with it!

The more he thought about it, the more restless he became.

In Xinghan City, after the letter was sent out, the envoys of Chengzhou Kingdom were waiting to bring the reply letter, and on the other hand, they were also communicating with Lu Chensheng about the war horse.

Regardless of whether the mine can be completed, the matter of the war horse can't be delayed.

The people of Da Cang Kingdom were also in a hurry, and they frequently asked to see Lu Chensheng, hoping to solve the purchase of the war horse as soon as possible.

People on the prairie are extremely wary of them now.

This is all made in Xinghan City. It was difficult to buy war horses in the past. Now that Xinghan City is doing this, the prairie people feel that selling the war horses to the Han people is a disaster for the prairie people.

Now if you want to get a war horse, you must either buy it from Lu Chensheng, or go to the grassland to grab it like Lu Chensheng.

It's just that they don't even have war horses, and going to the grassland to snatch them is simply courting death.

Once discovered by the other party, it is waiting to be chased and killed by the other party.

The other party has iron cavalry, so chasing and killing them is naturally a no-brainer.

Therefore, it seems that Lu Chensheng is the only way to buy war horses now.

But what made them uneasy was that Lu Chensheng also obviously knew the importance of war horses, so they were somewhat worried about whether Lu Chensheng would agree.

Depending on the situation, there is a little chance, but the price seems to be a little unsettled.

For the missions of the Great Cang Kingdom, the deal has actually been settled, but the guy from the Chengzhou Kingdom came, and this guy came here for the horse.

This caused Lu Chensheng to look like he was up for sale.

There was some dissatisfaction in my heart, but there was nothing I could do about it.

After the two missions stayed for several days, finally on this day, Lu Chensheng called them to the mansion.

"War horse, I don't have too many in my hand. If you want it, I will give you a price of 85 taels. Are you willing?"

85 two?

Hearing the price, the missions all looked at each other, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The market price of war horses is actually around seven to eighty taels, and there are good war horses that exceed this price.

Although this price is a little bit expensive, fortunately, Lu Chensheng didn't open his mouth like a lion, and it was still within their bottom line.

"I don't know, how much is the cattle?"

The Great Cang Kingdom Mission asked immediately.

"Five taels of silver for a farm ox."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while and responded.

There is no intention of cheating the other party, five taels of silver is considered a value within the normal range.

Anyway, he snatched it by himself, and there will be a large amount of money after the shot. When it is not enough, he can still grab it by himself, which is not a problem.

Five taels of silver.

When the two missions heard this, they all felt relieved. This is still affordable.

Not only the missions of Da Cang Kingdom needed cattle, but also the mission of Chengzhou Kingdom needed cattle.

They also started to use Quyuanli.

No one would care about such a sharp farming tool.

Therefore, at this moment, there is joy in my heart.

The money brought this time was enough to buy the cattle and horses.

Looking back, this is also a great achievement.

"I don't know, can Mr. Lu guarantee the number of war horses and cattle required by the Great Cang Kingdom?"

Zhao Qianhua on the side asked again, this is also the key.

The quantity that has been agreed before, who knows that there will be another one now, is the quantity enough?

Having said that, the Chengzhou Kingdom mission on the side also got a little nervous, and looked at Lu Chensheng eagerly.

Seeing this, Lu Chensheng smiled, "Don't worry, we can provide the quantity requested by both of you."

He said with some emotion, "It's also fortunate that Xinghan City has already finished cultivating land, otherwise such a quantity would really not be available."

The two sides do not doubt that there is a lie, as long as the other party wants a lot of horses and cattle, it is not easy for Lu Chensheng to come up with such a quantity.

Chapter 499 I'm going to give birth

War horses and oxen were successfully sold.

At a price of 85 taels, 68 war horses were sold and 100 taels of silver were obtained. Including the number of cattle, this transaction directly reached more than [-] million taels of silver.

Last year's Star Seoul, all income did not have 100 million taels of silver!

After signing the deed, the two parties carried out the delivery.

The Great Cang Kingdom is more convenient, and the ships have already been prepared.

The Great Cang Kingdom itself has a lot of canals and a lot of ships. This time, it brought a lot of cattle and war horses.

It was more difficult for Cheng Zhou, and many people were sent to bring back these cattle and war horses.

I don't know what kind of expressions those vassal kings will have after knowing that the dynasty bought these war horses and went back?

Sudden wealth, Lu Chensheng has been in a pretty good mood these days.

After learning about this on the fifth day of the lunar new year, I was also stunned.

Xing Hancheng worked hard, making various voices, and it only cost less than 100 million taels a year.

Now, Lu Chensheng sold some war horses and cattle, and actually directly earned 100 million taels of silver.

This is indeed something stolen, and the money comes much faster.

Chu Wu even thought, what kind of business is this? Just raise the army and go to the grassland to grab it!

Anyway, grabbing it once is enough for Star Seoul to spend for a year.

Such a scene also made Chu Wu understand why those prairie people like to go south to plunder so much.

You can grab so much money so easily, who would be willing to change it?

Chengxue also felt relieved, selling some war horses would already make so much money, and it would be no problem at all to recruit more manpower.

If at this time, Xing Seoul has no money, she will take people to the grassland to grab it once.

Knowing that the income was so high once, Chengxue began to recruit soldiers aggressively.

The men in Xinghan City have a different view of soldiers.

The last funeral made them understand that even if they become soldiers, they will receive a high honor. Even Lu Chensheng cares about these soldiers very much.

Therefore, after Chengxue started recruiting soldiers again, there were still many people who came to sign up.

The army then began to expand, and expenditures suddenly increased a lot.

After the beginning of spring, the chilly weather will soon pass, and then the spring will usher in a strong spring.

The fields in the city have also been cultivated, and the cultivated land outside is the same. At first glance, they are all green, with small seedlings drooping slightly.

"Gold mine? Cheng Zhou is going to use the gold mine as a condition to start building a canal?"

Lu Chensheng looked at the envoy of Chengzhou Kingdom in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said.

Originally, so much time had passed, seeing that the other party did not respond before, Lu Chensheng thought that the other party was no longer ready to accept this opinion.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually agreed, but the conditions set out made Lu Chensheng a little unexpected.

According to the test just now, Chengzhou Kingdom really doesn't have much money, otherwise it wouldn't be the case.

It is a good thing to hand over this project to Lu Chensheng.

At least in this way, Chengzhou Kingdom only needs to pay the money, and the people can continue to farm.

"Yes, it's just that this gold mine can only be dug for 50 years for Mr. Lu."

The envoy in front of him glanced at Lu Chensheng and said something cautiously.

He was really afraid that Lu Chensheng would not agree to mine gold for 50 years.

If you calculate it carefully, it should be enough, right?

The messenger wondered inwardly.

50 years?

Lu Chensheng smiled when he heard the year. To be honest, there is no difference between these 50 years and eternity.

Lu Chensheng felt that the time was a little tight, but he always felt that he should speed up the progress.

What is the difference between the other party giving himself 50 years of mining time and giving himself forever?

If the unification cannot be completed within 50 years, Lu Chensheng felt that he might as well die on the spot.

However, Lu Chensheng originally thought that he could gain some benefits, so as to speed up his own development.

This gold mine, at most, is to make myself a little richer.

Lu Chensheng pondered for a while, and was going to ask for more conditions. It's just a gold mine, which is a bit too little.

It's just that while Lu Chensheng was contemplating, a person rushed in from outside.

"Shopkeeper, Madam seems to be giving birth."

going to give birth?Bai Yi?

Hearing these words, Lu Chensheng was taken aback for a moment at first, then he suddenly got up and walked outside in a hurry.
