Speaking of which, today, all royal families will face the danger of expiration of their salary, which is the beginning of Ye Chunqiu's bet with King Xing to make the expiration of his salary in the King Xing's mansion.

Ye Chunqiu naturally knew the hatred of King Xing for him. At this time, he didn't feel strange when he saw King Xing Zhu Youque's complicated face.

However, the King of Zhou seemed much calmer. He looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply, and then said, "Whether there is any credit, it is not the Duke of Zhenguo who has the final say, nor is it the King who has the final say. It is all His Majesty who has the final say. Your Majesty has been waiting for your news, but I didn't expect that you would come back so soon. It's so good."

At this time, a prince walked out slowly and said with a smile: "Uncle, Xiao Wang is polite."

Um?

Uncle?

Ye Chunqiu stared blankly at a young prince stepping out from behind the King of Zhou, and his mind was a little confused.

Too enthusiastic, I can't stand it.

Fortunately, Ye Chunqiu has been struggling in this court for many years and has long been the young scholar who has never seen the world. Although he is embarrassed, he still does not show any expression on his face. He only smiles lightly and returns the salute sideways.

King Zhu Muqiu of Zhou smiled and said, "This is Zhu Zaipai, the son of King Zhao. He entered the capital yesterday and was summoned by Zongling's Mansion."

Ye Chunqiu smiled.

King Xing Zhu Youze, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke: "We should leave. Your Majesty is waiting to see Duke Zhenguo, I am afraid he will be anxious."

Zhu Muqiu then noticed Zhu Youshi, and naturally knew the relationship between Zhu Youshi and Ye Chunqiu. He knew his embarrassing situation and said without changing his face: "Okay, Duke Zhenguo, let's see you next time. We are all relatives of our own. You don't have to be polite. Even ordinary relatives are all about to visit."

Ye Chunqiu nodded, knowing that the royal family was desperate and deliberately approached him. Although he was amused and crying, there was no need to expose it.

Farewell to King Zhou and others, Ye Chunqiu went straight into the warm pavilion. Zhu Houzhao had been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as he saw him, he smiled and said, "You are back so fast that I didn't believe it just when someone reported it? Why, what did Batumonk say?"

Ye Chunqiu had always known that Zhu Houzhao was concerned about Batumonk, so he said Batumonk's words in detail.

Zhu Houzhao frowned while listening, just like what Ye Chunqiu knew about him. Zhu Houzhao was not concerned about other things, but Zhu Houzhao studied Batumonk through countless reports.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Is he... leaving a way out for himself?"

I have to say that at some point, Zhu Houzhao, who loves to make trouble, is also very sensitive.

Ye Chunqiu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise, my brother's guess is the same. I will be determined to lose without considering victory. This Batumonk is worthy of being an old fox."

Zhu Houzhao said in awe: "The more this happens, the less you should not underestimate this person. They are gathering troops and preparing for a decisive battle. Qinglong must also be prepared. What is the situation of the new army now?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "I have made two preparations. One of them is to recruit a group of new troops, with a number of around 5,000 people. In this way, the scale of the new troops will reach 8,000."

Eight thousand is definitely not a small number. Zhenguo Mansion pursues a policy of elite troops, and every student consumes a lot. In Ye Chunqiu's view, if the new army is over-inflated, it may not be a good thing. On the one hand, the burden on Zhenguo Mansion is too heavy, and on the other hand, it is also afraid that it will lead to a decline in combat effectiveness.

Ye Chunqiu said again: "The second is to replace the new army."

"Change defense?" Zhu Houzhao said in confusion: "Aren't the new army stationed in Qinglong?"

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "But Annan and Japan now have new troops. The new troops in Japan are 5,000 and Annan has 3,000. These new troops and instructors are the backbone of the new troops allocated by the Zhenguo Mansion. With their supplies and ammunition supplements, they are almost sold by the Zhenguo Mansion. Without the support of the Zhenguo Mansion, the so-called combat power of the new troops in Japan will be out of the question. In addition to the two trading ports, our Zhenguo Mansion's fleet has become increasingly connected with them, especially in Japan. In recent years, a large amount of goods have been transported into Japan. In the country, the people who underwrote these goods are all the princes and nobles of the Japanese country, as well as big merchants, and they have long had great reliance on the Zhenguo Mansion."

What Ye Chunqiu said may not be very clear about Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao at least understood a little.

To put it bluntly, because the large influx of goods from Zhenguo Mansion, Han merchants did not understand the situation in Japan after all, and at this time, they needed to have a sales system.

This sales system has almost been occupied by the Japanese. For example, a certain daimyo mainly undertakes the transaction of crystal glass. After the crystal glass arrives on the shore, the daimyo uses his connections in Japan to sell crystal glass, thereby making huge profits.

But then again, although this is the money earned by lying down, it not only fattened the Daming that sells crystal glass, but also saved the trouble of opening up sales, but it also tied the Daming together with the Han Shang and Zhenguo Mansion.

Such a relationship is in line with the Chinese saying, one prospers and one loss. If the Ming Dynasty lost the qualification of the Han merchants to monopolize crystal glass, his wealth would be completely cut off. Because of this, in Japan, on the one hand, he had to ensure the close relationship between Zhenguo Mansion and Japan, and use his connections and money to influence the national policy of opening the sea. On the other hand, if someone in Japan wanted to get rid of the control of Zhenguo Mansion, he was afraid that there would be no need to dispatch Zhenguo Navy now, and countless people like this would take action without hesitation and strangle these people.

What they earn is this kind of silver. In Japan, who have the ability to undertake such a transaction, who is either rich or noble, and has great power in itself? Now, relying on the goods of Zhenguo Mansion to make a big profit. With the money, it is even more like a tiger's wings. It can be said that inside and outside the temple of the Japanese, and even the major princes, have almost become a community of interests with Zhenguo Mansion.

Under the influence of these people, the entire country of Japan, whether it is public opinion or the officials in the temple, almost pursued the national policy of integrating Han and Japan. In addition, the Emperor of Japan originally needed the support of the Zhenguo Prefecture to maintain his dominance in Japan. The result can be imagined.

At this time, Ye Chunqiu said to Zhu Houzhao again: "Because of this dependence, my brothers felt that they should change their defenses every few days. I went to Japan and ordered the new Japanese army to allocate 3,000 people and followed the ship to Qinglong. The new army allocated 1,000 people to Japan to garrison. The Japanese fought bravely, and the three thousand new Japanese army stationed in Qinglong, which can be used by me at any time."
